About a month ago, my request for mentoring and coaching in trading bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies was granted by one of the most successful bitcoin and cryptocurrency traders I so much respect. This person is a Professor of Economics. She is a Certified Cryptocurrency Trader. She has a lot of experience in trading stocks, bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies.
One thing that worries me is that she has got me reading books on the basics of bitcoin. Also, a book on emotional intelligence. We meet every fortnight to discuss the assigned modules. She says I first need to be grounded in the fundamentals of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. As for emotional intelligence, she says it is a key success factor for every experienced trader. After my years of HODLing, I thought I was already grounded in the fundamentals
. Well, I must trust her judgment. An African proverb says, "What an old man/woman sees while sitting down, a young person cannot see it even if he or she climbs to the top of the tallest tree". In my spare time, I skim through articles and resources on bitcoin trading.
Did you jump straight into bitcoin or crypto trading as a novice or did you already have some experience trading in stocks, and Forex before venturing into trading in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies?
