SMH - Traded my Dash for Bitcoin last night to make a quick trade...
About 10 minutes later the price of Dash spiked to almost $13. After I realized what was going on I realized I missed out on almost $400 profit.
Moral of the story: don't be a lazy trader. If you're going to convert digital currencies for trading, use them! Don't let them sit unless it's for a very specific reason!
I console myself by at least realizing I could have never known Dash would spike. Then again, it's been going up consistently for weeks while Bitcoin has just been going down or sideways.
Lessons learned.
