As a general proposition, if you are busy trying to time the market and waiting for dips or even getting involved in shitcoins you are probably wasting time and/or money. Perhaps the only exception would be if you are in a location in which salaries (wages) are so low that you would be able to make more money by trading shitcoins than you would make in regular jobs... but you still would need some amount of capital to put at risk when you are doing some of the trading.. and so trading takes a lot of practice, and frequently you will need to use capital (potentially even your bitcoin capital) to be able to make money. which usually would not be a good idea to be putting BTC capital at risk, so then you may well just be creating an illusion of profits than actually how many profits that are actually making through trading shitcoins.
IMO i dont its even advisable to go into trading as a regular job or even as a major source of income as someone who is not well established financially, trading comes with risk and its has a level if uncertainty that makes it to fall into the category of a good source of income especially a primary one as in this case.
If your income is low then trading is an Even worse option cause you might end up losing every thing to one wrong prediction, and trying to mix up trading and investing in bitcoin would not be advisable cause you would definitely find your self in situations where you need to compromise one to better the other and in most cases you would chose to trade over buying bitcoin cause it offers more quick profits than bitcoin. And trading at times can lead to addictive habits of always wanting to trade to cover up loses that has been made or even to get money to do other things, to be sincere i dont think trading and investing are compatible cause one involves long term thinking and the other is quite short term and you need different mentality to be successful doing both.
IMO a better advice would be to get a much better source of income and then focus wholly on investing in bitcoin and if you must trade then you would have enough to allocate to both, but its much better to focus in one and in my case investing in bitcoin.
