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.
You have to take into account all those factors that can affect the value of your coins and are related to a crypto exchange. This is very important and for me, security comes first. The more secure your assets on the exchange, the more you would be able to focus and make the max gains. An exchange like Binance would be the best to chose for that has come back strongly.
