Why do people even go in for the short game in any sort of market? You're setting yourself up for failure if you're trying to invest in something which is crazily volatile -- bitcoin or any other alt --  and then trying to do it short term which is like trying to time a market which is insanely volatile anyway. People say don't try to time the stock market, let alone trying to time Bitcoin which has literally 'died' multiple times -- https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoinobituaries/ -- and then has came back swinging every single time. Don't go for the short game, you're most likely going to lose. Go in for the long game, it's the only thing which has worked so far....
