So if you look at it like trading stocks.. What's the best way to invest and trade bitcoin to make money?
In the stock exchange, you will mainly see two types of people. One is the traders, who are mostly engaged with high risk day trading. The other one is the investors, who invests money for longer term and not usually interested in day trading. Investors only get engaged in day trading when they see a substantial opportunity. So if you are an employed person and looking for bitcoin trading during your free times, my recommendation would be to become an investors for long term. That's the best way to get profit from bitcoin.
However, if you have a lot of free time, then you can certainly try day trading. You need to track the market vary closely. When you track the market, you will see there are lots of coins which moves within a certain range. For example, a coin value goes up to $5 at a certain time and comes back to $3 after some day and that is repetitive incident. These kind of signs are actually helpful to get some quick profits from the day trading activity. Remember, unlike stock market, crypto market is not driven by the fundamentals. So try to catch the series of repetitive price movements before you jump with big amount.
