Trading is not a child's play, this is where we have to use various indicators to affirm our speculations, we also must know the difference between different markets and the seasons at which they perform less and much, this is why after bitcoin will can consider any other cryptocurrency as an alternative, but when you are trading you need to consider all of this as part of your speculation in order to know the bearing at which the market is taken
Trading has never been a child's play, but one funny thing about it is that every child in the industry have tested it or would like to test it until they discover that it is not a child's play.

In Op that choose holding, it is not also easy there. This industry needs strong minds and strong hands.
