I have outperformed bitcoin by 10,000% by daytrading and these increases have been steady since 2013. Daytrading is not gambling. It is a simple system where you learn to buy high volume dips and crashes, and breakouts. I guess 'Daytrading is gambling' is like this nice catchy excuse for bad traders for them to blow off steam.
Holy fucking crap dude, congrats on your trading success, that is beyond impressive. Unless most other guys, I believe you.
I am assuming you use quite a bit of leverage?
I dont always use leverage and when i do its usually only 2x. 3x at the max. I actually havent had access to leveraged bitcoin trading recently -
only altcoins. Its a combination of leverage, altcoins, and selling forks at the right time, and getting in on crazy unusual movements. For instance I sold my bch at the peak of 0.5btc then rebought that crash to 0.2btc and sold at 0.38btc all within minutes. I probably overrepresent my "bitcoin" success because half of my net worth is from the last dogecoin rally.
