The only way to beat the market without relying purely on luck is to
- manipulate the market,
- corner the market,
- rely on relevant, exclusive ("insider") information,
or all of the above.
So far I've got lucky slightly more often than not, so it's about 2% gains overall. Irrelevant.
I think the best way to profit from Bitcoin is to either use it in everyday life if it works better than fiat, or to work hard to create a valuable product or service that involves Bitcoin. Everything else is a parasitic circlejerk, and that's only if you're lucky.
