If you are a daytrader then forget about Bitcoin instead find altcoins that fast in moving and not this coin that so slow in providing profit but atleast the assurance is high than alt investing
I prefer steady profits with less risk than potential high rewards which comes with a commensurate risk.
Hence I would rather go for the slow moving bitcoin currency that the faster moving and highly unpredictable altcoin market.
As a day trader, you should be protecting your capital, and a part of that is going for the safest investment option.
An alt coin surge can make you a lot quick but yes it is high risk.
I only do bitcoin and some other stable coins. Currently only some eth.
