But the truth of the matter is, the vast majority of those people end up seeing their BTC melt like a stick of butter in a microwave.

Surely for every losing trade, there must also be a winning trade? I know some people were able to increase their BTC holdings by trading the right altcoins at the right times.

It's zero sum, of course someone wins for every loss
