Pumps and getting 100x-1000x possible profits is the main thing why most people do put money into these projects.Only a few do trust up on them when
it comes to longer prospects.
As an investor if you can able to risk your money to diversify out by either investing on ICO or directly trading them when it is already on exchangers.Its worthy but be careful on what you are dealing
because not all tokens do pump.
I really depend on what you are looking for. If you are looking for profit purely in cryptocurrency, you could also think about ethereum in this regard. Bitcoin is often slow and day trading in Bitcoin could not be very profitable.
I think that Bitcoin is more profitable in long term hodl and which in other words mean long term trading in Bitcoin is more profitable than day trading in bitcoins and since you are looking for profits, better keep an eye on the traditional market opportunities that are often very profitable.
