The few times I have traded it was after listening to bitcoin podcasts for days and I felt I had some little incite. Believe me, listening to people discuss crytos for a few days is not enough.
No, no, no. Not really enough. You must be there on the front row and start betting (trade) on your own. Lose or win you will get the experience there and will now try to think of some tricks or some precautionary measures on how to avoid losing or how you can win again. But truly, you need to make the first move on trading even with just a little amount. Then you will understand it all.
