Just like you, steemit has been my first venture into the crypto space and it too has sparked my interest in expanding my diversifaction of investments into other cryptos. Looks a if you've researched more than I have. But light coin and Etherium I've heard are some of the safest places with still great upward potential to leave some money for the long term. Bit coin, I feel as if I missed the boat, maybe on a good pull back I'll get in on that. These companies that you mention, ICOs are just out of the gate. high risk high reward I suppose...I still have so much more to learn.
Thank for sharing buddy.
By the way I'm in Chiang Mai for another week, then Pai for about a week, then I'll be swinging through Bangkok.
