I made over 1 BTC trading NTS from 700 SATS to around 1300 SATS.
Wow that's quite high profit you made there although NTS isn't really popular and I think that volume they had isn't too high unlike the rest.You're right tho, you can make so much more money in BTC. If you invest $4,000 into BTC today you might have $4,020 in the next 6 months! That's a $20 gain 
Investing in BTC is more of a long term commitment but if you are for the short term there are some other else you can make that much.
