It has been some time, but correct me if I'm wrong doesn't it usually go like this BTC pumps then, LARGE CAPS, then MIDCAPS, then SMALL CAPS after that the MICRO CAPS then things like PRIVACY COINS will all pump. I am sure I am missing some here, but in 2017 that's how it played out in that order for the most part. The point is Hold your bitcoin till it's topped out then convert to large caps,ETH,BCH,LTC then midcaps, then small caps, micro caps this way you can make more bitcoin by compounding instead of just holding one or a few specific alts. So an example would be you buy a large cap like ETH it does a 2x you sell half and reinvest it into a mid cap, and let the other half ride for a potential 3,4,5,6x or whatever your target is. Then you do the same with the mid cap,small cap,micro cap this way you are compounding! I hope this post makes sense to most of you! if its confusing I am sorry I tried to explain it
I know what you are talking about and i also tell my friends to do this but to be honest when time comes no one knows and no one is able to follow it. There are different kind of people in the market so they will do what they think is the best and believe most people will keep hodling even after the next peak and let the price came down again and then they will be seen blaiming the market, it is funny but true. So people actually need to learn to take profit after big market move.
