Brainlet Thread.

I finally took the crypto plunge today after hearing about BTC for the last freaking decade. Back in school I used to make fun of the early crypto nerds for buying "fake money" now look who's laughing.

Anyway, I'm in the US and I figured out how to set up a coinbase account and transfer funds there - now I have 120 in BTC, 25 in ETH and 2 in LTC. I've quickly realized that occasionally putting more such small sums of fiat into those three main coins for long hold isn't really a great plan - that hedging in smaller alt coins in order to make a profit and then turn back into BTC seems to be the current craze.

Eventually I could be willing to invest up to a few thousand but not much more than that - since I'm literally a retard that doesn't know the first thing about this I don't trust myself with more than babby's first sell orders and such.

So now that I've set up a GDAX - what do I do? Are only those 3 main coins traded on that exchange -- what about all the alt coins? Do I have to make successive chains of accounts leading from one to the next in order to filter through all these? Are all my waking hours going to be dedicated to frantically watching candles and lines until i eventually kms?
