BTC was dropping and the guy was desperate a bit.
And what is the best advice here? Holding for the next bull run or cutting losses and waiting for a new dip for buying?! What advice do you give to a desperate trader? Quit trading if you can't separate emotions from your trades?!
I believe that the best option for a beginner is a demo account.
For a start, maybe a few days to a week that would be awesome.
But after that, what's next?
The actual trading it goes and see if the learnings you've gained through demo account is going to result into good trades and into your fruition with this career.
I don't like demo accounts as well... maybe demo can be good for people who are trying trading for the first time and they wish to learn about all the features for free, but even that is questionable! The real thing is the real thing, when real money is involved we learn better and faster. Having some losses here and there is not a bad thing, we all make mistakes, we need to learn how to keep a cool head in troubled times, how to not get greedy, to not make desperate moves... and we learn by practicing trading, it's how we get to experience! Doing it with demo simply doesn't give all that!
