I think it is best to learn to leverage trade and then make more BTC with profits on the dips to accumulate more long term. Right now I am working full time so do not have the time to spend learning trading techniques etc, and I just relax on the forum and collect coins that way which I can use some of them to trade for Bitcoin, for the long term. It all depends on how aggressive you are and how much capital you also have to invest in these higher risk markets and currencies like Bitcoin. I just look at Bitcoin more of a long term investment, but not sure if I am now too late in this field now. I think now the time to get lucky with Bitcoin is over as the early birds ate all the worms. Now mainly traders and large wallets are benefiting because they can grow their wallets larger with just small price swings.
