When people talk about trading bitcoin does anyone just literally buy and sell at the right times rather than deal with futures like shorting etc..
I tried on Solana a few months back with some success the danger was always FOMO at the bottom of the range and being stranded at the top when the market drops.
You can sell and take a big loss or face having to stay off for a few weeks until price recovers
Anyone successfully do this with bitcoin what do you use to help you
Now everyone will say the same thing, buy at low price and sell at high price. Now that you mentioned Bitcoin, if the price drops a bit after taking a trade in Bitcoin, it would be wise to hold. Bitcoin is most reliable for trading or investing. But it is best to invest in Bitcoin, which is very low risk. Now if there is some loss by buying Bitcoin, then holding it can hope to make a profit, but not everyone can hold patiently.
