Yep, I want to try my hand at day trading in crypto. I don't believe it works in the stock market, but I can see it working in the cryptomarket with enough self control.

As to huge surges, I would generally prefer coins that don't have huge surges, or get in before any surges. A healthy upward trend is better in the long term. However, I did not mind when digibyte went from almost nothing to a few dollar cents in just a month, but I've held it for years.
