It is true I am talking in terms of a short term gain. BTC is certainly a long term investment but what about the short term gains? As an example, even if I invest in 1000 coins of IOTA or 10000 coins of NEM, I am assured of greater volatility in the market for these coins compared to that of BTC. If NEM makes a high on a particular day even by 0.05$ USD, I would make 0.05x10000 = 500$ USD in a day if I sell all my coins at that price.
Of course, trading does involve many other practical factors which make things not as simply as I write here. But being a pro I can simplify the complexity and say that it is certainly possible to make it so.
But will this not be a way to make decent income every day? When you invest in cryptocurrency, it is a need for one to continually observe the market trends. When one is able to understand the intricacies of the market then it is better that he takes up (day) trading.
After all it is important we make money on a regular basis apart from the long term investment isn’t it so?
I think not, I won't trade my bitcoin for altcoims because I believe that bitcoin has it's own unique characteristic that would provide me a good gain in the future. I think it is better that I'll trade my altcoin for bitcoin because bitcoin has provided me a good profit already and I think that it won't fail me.
