I'm new to cryptocurrencies, but have a few years of trading experience, and a general plan on how/why to buy any stock or commodity.
The cryptos are going to change the world to be sure, and it's time to establish a foothold across a range of cryptocurrencies to permit quick movement of wealth from one financial instrument to another. For diversification, it is prudent to prepare avenues to move value between traditional cash like USD, between a range of various cryptocurrenties, and over to real world commodities and futures contracts.
This is why I like the concept behind GoldCoin. I'm still learning exactly how this cryptocurrency is backed by gold, or tied to the price of gold? And glad to join your community.
