Before the advent of money, computers, and the internet, trading activities were executed on a small scale between traders or individuals who had something of value to exchange.

Rather than waiting for ALT SEASON, which is less likely to come, those who took the bull by the horns are taking advantage of the mid-market volatility, gathering small droplets of profits until their bucket is full. The cryptocurrency market dynamics have changed, and only those that can adapt to the current market realities will survive, while others fizzle out. Instead of waiting for 10X ROI from the alt coins in your portfolio, why not take a little 1X here, a little 2X there, and even 3X when the market presents you with some opportunities?"}},{"id":"BbZ1nNBbhH","type":"paragraph","data":{"text":"Buying low and selling high is the most effective strategy for any retail investor seeking to navigate this challenging cycle.
