Trading altcoins and bitcoin is not always about skill.
i strongly disagree. trading is always about skills. then there are other factors that have small effects on the final result. but the main factor is always going to be skills.
Sometimes, my poor decisions fetch me profits; while well researched projects messes up;
then maybe you are doing it wrong.
for example you may be doing things that you think are "research" while you are just looking up misleading sources that give you wrong information.
