Never tried to trade with stock market but i think the different of trading with cryptocurrency is the movement of the price was fast than in stock market this is just base what i saw or experience that is why they are more people are trading with cryptocurrency because of the fast movement of the price..
But the problem right now i heard that ICo and altcoin are ban in china that causes the price of bitcoin down..
You can try to trade with CEX,io or go to
https://coinmarketcap.com/ and choose what altcoin you want to trade and click market you can see almost list of exchange site. .
Thanks for the input

Yeah it is true that stocks' price doesn't move as fast as cryptos. However, I used to trade small and middle sized companies' stocks, so it was very volotile at times. Also, I think that apart from bitcoin it is hard to actually predict the movement of the price trends of the coins. I mean it's not like we get actual information on the company financial state

I read an article some days ago that Russia was considering accepting cryptocurriences on thier market. Do you think that it was something that made the growth to almost 5000$ possible?
Also, I have never heard about ICOs. They seem like a great idea

Yeah ,is possible to make bitcoin growth the price if some nation are also involve to crytolanld ,,like you said Russia are also considering to accept inolved in the market,despite some of nation bitcoin will banned,so that take a lot of research is also key to plan carefully before decided to this path, because you must also responsable to your future,.
