The volatility in the cryptocurrencies market create an opportunity for traders to make money and that makes it better to me compared to other trading assets like forex market, stocks market and commodities market. It is new and manipulation is allowed for now because it is not regulated.
In terms of trading platforms, the good thing about crypto is it's decentralised and we can trade anytime, anywhere, we can have some shares or token from different countries, other markets limit us in time as well minimal investment option.
