The best trading advice is what he has told you and you cannot really get it better until you hit the net and do research and gain some knowledge by yourself.

Nevertheless, you should know that it is not as easy as it sounds. It looks good on paper converting 1 to 2, and 2 to 4 and so on, but in reality, you have to consider losses, which as far as I am concerned, it is better you keep watching your BTC grow in value and see what becomes of it in the next 7 years or get a job like someone rightly said. Bitter, but just the truth.
