Hey there!
I would like to ask you what you concider a good amount of bitcoins for daily short term speculations. How do you think what is the good number for beginers / advanced / experienced traders? Or maybe it if better not to short and just buy some of any good alts and wai for a pump (like some days or weeks)?
if you are really beginner in trading then I suggest that you do not use large capital, maybe 0.01 BTC enough. and for either long-term or short-term trading periods it all depends on you, but you should do what gives you the advantage.
