i dont plan on getting rich quick. i understand that there is allot of reading and research to do. and i need to learn how things effect the value of the BTC.
and again. im going small. buying a few coins, wait for a rise in value, sell, and so on. i dont have much to spend and if i could make a few tens of dollars then im good. Grin

BTW, how many coins are you messing with? and how often do you buy and sell? do you wait for a big rise to sell or you sell and buy all the time when its a few bucks differences?

I tend to buy alternative crytpo-currencies when they are weak and with stocks getting in at the bottom (IPO) has worked out well so far.

When day trading bitcoin with usd I have lost money. That pair (usd/bitcoin) is dangerous because bitcoin can rise and never ever return to a usd value. But trading ltc to btc has worked because historically there was a constant cycle between 0.028 - 0.03 ltc/btc and it was possible to cash in on that (don't try this at the moment as ltc is not doing very well against btc and there is no cycle)
