If you look back at 2017 pump it was average users like us who got the benefit of bull run as Bitcoin was easily affordable before the bullrun hence a good portion of users had bitcoin in their portfolio as there were not that much altcoins available in the market. But this year who has gained more ? Is it average users or else institutions and traders who made most of it? I think it's trader's who bought at cheap and sold at high because institutions are yet to cashoutm what do you all think?
I think it's always the market makers who make more money. On number 2 there are the average users and on number 3 you would see traders making money in such a market. Many people would be surprised to see traders on number 3 in this market but truth is when there is such an uptrend market people who just buy and hold gain more than the peope who continuously buy and sell because 30-40% of times their trades end up hitting stop losses in such a volatile market. This makes trading miserable in such a market. But obviously ultimate winners are big money people who had pumped tons of money around 10-15K.
