You know, I often wonder why 95% of exchange trades are like 0.05 or 0.001BTC. The answer is - there are thousands of n00bs (probably can't even calculate percentages and addicted to drugs) who believe that by trading such pathetic amounts, they will become millionaires. I got flash news for you - Not gonna happen! If you are lucky, you may get 10% in a year, so congrats with your 0.0001BTC profit. Go buy an island with that.




nah
it's bots
Also, 0.05 BTC is enough to retire within ~5 years if BTC goes to 100-300k and you trade shitcoins with a decent entry and exit strategy.
Yup, now that I trade very little, most of my orders are (multiple) small orders. 0.05 is indeed a size I do frequently use nowadays.
For some reason I have been gradually lowering my order size with time..... even if my total stash is always at record size.
Of course I have also lowered a lot my exchange exposure.
Sometimes I do think I just keep on trading to not lose the practise, and not so much for the profits.... which, even if small, do nicely accumulate over time though.
