The question is: how long can this trend continue until people catch on? I'm wary of buying into coins on news / tips from big names, even if it does bring quick profits, since it seems unsustainable.

I believe many people are buying into these in hopes that another 10x increase will come over a week (like it did with Verge). But I'm sure they'll all see major corrections in the future.

Timing is everything if you play this game. I think I'll stick to reading about coins unmentioned and hodling long term.
