Bitcoin remains the most valuable and talked about cryptocurrency, as well as the most actively traded on exchanges. Launched in 2009, this digital asset’s price has fluctuated wildly over the past years, making it attractive for day traders who have started applying forex trading strategies to it.
You can take advantage of Bitcoin volatility without owning it.
Markets are open during FX market hours, which means that you can trade around the clock.
Unlike when you buy Bitcoin, you can go both long and short to profit from falling price.
