Here's a better plan. If you believe that there is a reasonable chance (e.g. 10%) that Bitcoin will raise in value 100-fold again in the next few years, do the following: think about how much wealth you'd need to live your dream life (i.e. spend all your time on your pet projects). Say that's 3 million. Then try to put 30k into Bitcoin. If you win, it will change your life. Otherwise, you continue as you did before. Also: do not diversify. If you put 15k into two altcoins each, and only one of them is successful, you are still stuck with your old life.

This plan is based on the idea that there is an amount of money X that allows you to significantly change your life, while amounts below X merely give you incremental improvements. If that's not the case, the plan is obviously not for you. :)
