I see there are a lot of first time traders trading Bitcoin via the hack exchanges of MtGox and Tradehill. It makes me wonder, why don't you guys just trade real forex? You can open micro accounts with as little as $25. You get security far better than these shady exchanges. You get real customer service with a real business that won't disappear and leave you only an email address to cry to. You get real trading platforms with reliable data, not some ghetto hack stuff. You get plenty of liquidity, which allows of smooth trading. And, best of all, you don't have to worry whether it's legal or not! Trading is hard enough as it is, why anyone would want all these additional factors working against them is beyond me.
So, to all the bitcoin traders out there... what are your reasons for trading these shady, unsafe bitcoin markets over regular FX?
Actually you don't have to choose. Me and some of my friends trade stocks, forex, and crypto/BTC. When there's no opportunity in stock market, we switch to forex, but then recently with the BTC being hyped, we found that it is some much easier and faster to earn money trading BTC especially if you are good in reading charts. For instance, I made about 150% gain in weeks of trading crypto while my other friend made 200%, that's double your money in a couple of weeks' time.
