Luna was bouncing around in price between £63 to about £77. So buy around 63, sell at 75, I done that a couple of times and made on it.

It went to 75 last week I sold it then the other day it fell to £59 so I bought it, then it fell and fell, and just collapsed to about 20p in two days. In other words I'm completely crap at this.

For reasons I am too embarrassed to go into, I am extremely paranoid about the possibility of being scammed by companies promoting bitcoin

After reading something about Amazon getting into it l registered, but there seems to be a lot of companies piggybacking on the thing. The one that followed up was called btctopbank and had a bot that did all the work. They seemed OK at first but I kept getting flags that worried me the further along the process I went. When I was asked to add Anydesk, and then share my screen, I baulked and pulled out. For someone only investing the minimum they seemed very keen to keep me.

I want to try it out though. Can you recommend the best way to get involved?

when you give these "companies" your money you arent buying any bitcoin,
at best you are just buying an IOU,at worst you being scammed.
you dont need any bots or fancy algos to buy bitcoin.
you probably need to do some more research on what bitcoin actually is (if i sound condesending i apoligise).
there is plenty of good educational vids on youtube i recomend btcsessions,simply bitcoin and uk bitcoinmaster to give you a simplified view as you seem to be over thinking most of the basics and you need to take a step back.
the easiest way for somebody new to the scene is probably coinbase in the uk although some will argue about that,you need to keep things simple.
think of buying bitcoin as a savings account and not a get rich quick trading scheme.

It's a scam mate, you don't need to share your screen with anyone to buy crypto.

This is good advice, do some more research otherwise you will just get scammed and lose your money

You're not condescending at all. It's the fact that I was scammed before that made me wary. I've since opened an etoro account and it was straightforward. You wouldn't believe the conversations I had on btctopbank. One 'manager' screaming at me about how dare I doubt him when he has been doing this for 1000 years and handles 58 squillion Euro accounts. You couldn't make it up. Like all confidence tricksters he tried to make out I was the one doing the scamming.

you dont need a manager to invest in bitcoin,
bitcoin puts financial advisors on the dole,thats one of the reasons the mainstream hate on it!
if its any consolation we all make mistakes in this space,
