Hey Makecents. I've invested a few thousand recently as well in some altcoins. I just recently joined Steem, but one of the things I'm going to do be doing in my posts is talking about my crypto investments and the research I'm doing into other cryptocurrencies if you'd like to follow! In the meantime, the altcoins I invested in recently were - Stratis, Ubiq, Waves, GNT, and of course Ethereum. Good luck to your friend!
