If you're like many of the people I know, you have a modest amount of Bitcoin. Let's say somewhere under 1 full Bitcoin. It is many people goals to hold an entire Bitcoin. Something just has a ring to it. If you are lucky, you have accumulated Bitcoin in the double digits. However, for many this goal is not easy to accomplish. It may seem like as Bitcoin goes up as it has, you will never be able to reach that beautiful 1 Bitcoin mark.

As we are all aware, Bitcoin will always be the #1 cryptocurrency for many many reasons that I do not need to repeat. However, I do not believe there is any hurt in investing in other blockchain technologies. We as a society are only scratching the surface of how blockchain tech will improve the daily lives of all of us. If you have looked into what other projects are aiming to accomplish, you would be astounded at the progress they have made. These projects with sound principles are your key to getting that full Bitcoin. If it is not feasible for you to save enough cash to get an amount on your own, this is an incredible option.

Think of your average no-coiner that is investment savvy. They generally have a healthy amount of gold (Bitcoin) to make sure they are maintaining a steady profit as well as providing them a hedge against inflation. Many no-coiner investors buy gold every chance they get, but are they using their regular income to obtain all this gold? Not always. Many of them turn to stocks for instance, to invest in companies (ALT Coins) and make more capital so that they can buy gold (Bitcoin).

This is a VERY sound investing strategy, and some of the same principles can be applied. Ensure that you are doing an adequate amount of research into the companies (ALT Coins) that you are investing in. Make sure they align with your morals, values, and of course profits. There are always companies (ALT Coins) that are looking to make a difference and solve a very real world problem. We should not waste opportunity on something that we believe has potential.

Of course, at the end of the day, this will never be as safe as investing in Bitcoin alone. Investing in Bitcoin alone has a lot of peace-of-mind value to it, but for many of the people I know, obtaining 1 full coin with cash/income alone won't cut it. Believe me, when you believe in a project, you believe in a project. Due Diligence is Key!

There are a few projects that I love (XMR, XRP, ETH), and I will go toe-to-toe with any one of you defending their real-world use. You don't have to agree with me, but it's my way of expanding my increasingly glutenous Bitcoin stack. You can never have enough.

Don't be stupid and invest in the 1000's of trashcoins out there. Find something that aims to solve a real problem. For us crypto investors, Bitcoin is our gold. ALT coins are our stocks.

Go risk it for the biscuit.
