maybe using the altcoin market to learn a bit of trading and experimenting based on small amounts is not a bad idea,
then again most altcoins are just ideas for people to see how they develop with in the bitcoin talk community.
i agree. altcoin market is the best place for beginners to start to learn trading.
they can start with extremely small amounts like 0.0001
BTC which is really nothing (as big as a transaction fee) and trade with that. to learn.
