You are right, trading is a real curse for some people. I traded all my bitcoin to a few altcoins and still waiting their growth for more than a year. I even think that altcoins were created to gain $ from people who invest in bitcoin. We usually buy them with bitcoin and in the btc price they drop and we lose. Only a few altcoins bring good benifits if we invest them in the right time, or if we invest in altcoins we believe in and wait for a very long time.
