I still buy and sell ethereum almost daily. It’s over 2k now but can vary 100-150$ per day. If you time it right you can make a lot or miss out on a lot if you don’t. Since March 1 I’ve made 43% on my money and feel like I can double my money in 3-6 months Probably could do the same by just holding onto it rather than trading daily but it wouldn’t be as much fun
