Hi @swissclive thanks for your advice.

Although I do not necessarily agree that there is no money to be made in Alts the current situation with bitcoin is showing that it is hard to beat at the moment. I moved 90% of my portfolio over to BTC after observing what happened at the last fork. I think the major point I meant to say to @marsella-2017 and didn't really express very well is that you have to have control of your own assets/coins yourself. These crypto-brokerage schemes are very shady in my eyes. I have personally made money on Alts through trading but it is at a very low level and with a steep learning curve. ICO's always say don't invest anything your not willing to lose - you've hit the nail on the head in saying that the safest way to avoid that possibility is not getting involved in them and buying bitcoin for cold storage and hodl it until you hit your goal.
