You mean trading? So trading the currency Bitcoin is the same as trading other currencys? You don't say Sherlock. |
All previous versions of currency will no longer be supported as of this update

You seem to be a little confused about what Bitcoin is. Bitcoin is two things: it is a currency and it is a payment network for that currency. Nothing more. There are various exchanges which allow you to trade bitcoins for other currencies in the same way as regular forex markets (though I don't think many (if any) currently offer options, though it is likely they will once the market is more mature), but Bitcoin itself is not a forex market.
The Bitcoin market is currently not very liquid at all, with a market cap of only $140M, and only a tiny fraction of the bitcoins in circulation are actually available for sale on the various exchanges. You will have much trouble buying or selling bitcoins in large amounts (depending on your definition of "large").

FOREX is a very, very complex trading market. Don't even think about trying it before reading a few thick books!
BTC is very uncertain almost like a mystery.
