I started trading with the help from my friend. He introduced me to cryptocurrencies and we together made some quick dollars from different sources. Once we had enough capital to start, we signed up for Bittrex. For few intital days, we relied on Pump/Dump groups but soon realized these groups can't be trusted. We lost like 20-25% of our capital. Then we shifted to self-inspection method and lurking through some threads and websites, we chose 4 coins and invested in them. It turns good for us and we doubled our investment. Soon after, we started learning Technical Analysis and since then we mostly invest by reading charts and trends.
