On the contrary, it is very easy to learn everything about crypto trading and investment but it is not easy to earn all the time from them, especially in the trading aspect because the theoretical aspect is not the same as the practical aspect. But still, crypto trading and investment are generally simple, they only require that we treat them seriously and creatively, not that we will be slacking in handling them the way many people do. Anything crypto to me is a serious business, that is why I do not take them with any laxity and my prior experience in the field before the crypto era is helping me quite well as the same scopes and methods are applicable to all of them.
I think easy and simple keep getting mixed, it's simple but not easy. I keep trying to learn even after ten years there are things that I keep learning and turns out I did not know. I bet you that anyone who has been trading since day one of bitcoin could read up and eventually learn something about trading that they have never heard of before.
This is why it's quite obvious that we are going to end up with people always having hard time, because if we have hard time as veterans, then newbies will definitely have harder times. We just need to remember that we are going to do fine, we just need to make sure that things aren't all that simple and we could be in trouble if we are not careful at all. This is why it's important to have a break sometimes from trading and just watch.
Lol...your conclusion is funny, it tones towards the person that has given up. Well, in my experience with trading, I so much understand you, it is never easy. People will preach the easiness to you and you might even find the learning period easy, but when it gets to you practicalizing it to earn, you will discover that it is never easy, that's the truth. But one thing still stands out my friend, you may not give up until you get the secret that unlocks the success of trading. That's the spirit I love, but one should plan to invest a little amount and risk a little per trade as well to avoid wasting money as it is still about learning and not earning yet despite trading a live account. And by secret, I don't mean a secret per se but your own system that works for you and is time-proven.
If I had given up on trading, I would not have understood it the way I do now. Initially, it would be like a trick, something that is not real but hyped, to the point that it got me depressed many times, and this is not just because of the money I wasted but of the curiosity of wanting to know how to be making consistent income from the market. Thanks to some brokers that gave free bonuses in which you can withdraw the profits earned from it. They helped me regularly fund my trading account so I never needed to waste my own money anymore. I did it for about 10 years, yes, you heard me, a solid 10 years before I know what I know today. It was never easy but I never gave up, that's the gist.
You can see that eventually, trading is now easy for me, but it is not on a platter of gold.
