- Buy low, sell high

That's really it. Little bit of luck and familiarizing one's self with the fluctuations helps too.
There was some debate about whether the ByteCoin prices were market-driven or just some dumb random algorithm. I can now confirm that a true market mechanism was always the only acceptable option for ByteCoin, up until about March 31 when I realized how hard that was to code. So it was a dumb random algorithm. Except for Titanfall, which was a plan by some big ByteCoin players to try to crash the market by all selling at once, which I caught wind of and simulated to freak them out. That was fun.

That last part sounds like I'm asking for attention, but seriously just recognizing that I'm not popular

But not me. It's a chaotic system. I'm a chaotic system. We understand eachother.
