It has made me several thousand dollars now, and increased my bitcoin holding tremendously. Don't try to make a quick buck and get sucked into every panic buy and sell, but have a little patience and use pump and dumps to your advantage. They happen daily and always have the same result.
Let your greed subside and enjoy the ride, hope this helps.
In the end, it all boils down to your psychology. Some people can wait, others simply can't even if they try to stick to logical reasoning with themselves...
That's how I was originally, so I know how overwhelming it can be.
Now that I am actually seeing my bitcoin and profit skyrocket, I don't even think twice about acting on impulse.
Granted I spend a lot of time on the computer replacing my buy and sell orders. Who cares though when I'm making hundreds or thousands every few hours?
