Bitcoin loser. Yup, that's me. Always holding the wrong coin at the wrong time. I think few will admit it, but I bet there are thousands like me. But hey, this is just Average Bitcoin Joe here what have I got to lose. Just money. The problem is, in this mega bull market full of hype and loot everywhere, few are relaying the 'burn' stories. Firstly, I believe in bitcoin. I buy a small amount weekly. I believe, somehow, someday I will be doing very well with bitcoin. But isn't that the problem? I've bought in so hard, that I feel there's no risk. So what do I do? I trade. And I trade. And I loose. And I loose. I'm actually such a shitty trader that I've spent double what I have put in. If I would never have traded, I'd be half way to my goals. 6 books later, hours and hours online, on YouTube and on forums and I still make shitty trades. Each time, I'm just looking for that small win. It's totally a gambling addiction and it's burned me hard. Yet, I trade God help me. I try to stay positive and believe the money I've lost has been an expensive lesson. I beginning to doubt. So my last thought of the day is:. Do I trade, or just buy and HODL and shut up and hope that bitcoin (and crypto sphere) still gives my loses back?

I suggest holding some BTC, ETH, LTC, and DASH. Also grab a couple cheaper coins that you think are going to do well and can profit big on in the future. When the cheaper ones hit big spikes and you can take profits then maybe trade again. That's what I started out doing after I lost some money trading and it got me back in the game, DGB made me very happy. I only trade a little when big moves happens in my holdings, I don't really sit and trade although I hope to after I feel more comfortable. I sell out, save some, watch em drop and buy back more or use it to buy up something else. For now if you do that you can sharpen your market reading skills. I'm not sure what you know or how you analyze that market but it's always good to learn other peoples strategies. I watch coins that I don't even hold just so I can practice applying trade strategies to them to see if I can make good calls.
Also my top recommendation on cheaper ALT coins to look at would be IOTA, check that out if you haven't yet.
