Interesting thoughts although I personally think this is the year when ETH takes over from BTC in market cap.
I think the same! Also IOTA and litecoin been pretty flat in last few months so will be interesting to see where they go.
Coinpoker is going to take over this year!
I think you have to own BTC at these levels. I’m a believer aka long time hodler in LTC. I see it as a transactional coin (litepay). I’m not a huge fan of XRP (tech>coin) but I do own a little (have to be diversified).
