I don't know to agree or disagree with you 
what you say makes sense, increasing your knowledge of the technology that these cryptocurrencies you are trading can help you but when it comes to trading, specifically trading altcoins, that knowledge is not going to be helpful as much as you may hope. for instance you may have a pretty good understanding of the blockchain technology and find a very good coin that is implementing the technology in a very interesting way and you may find it full of potential because of it .... but these types of coins are never profitable in the altcoin market!
instead when you look at shitcoins and the worst projects out there, you can see huge profits on daily basis is taking place and there are hundreds of traders that are taking advantage of it.
it may sound strange or even a terrible thing to say, but learning how pump and dumps work may give you a much bigger profit than anything else can.
I understand your reasoning, as it is a sound one. But, I still believe that being active in the industry you trade in and actively learning new things will pave the way towards not just understanding, but towards more accurate prediction of trends to come. There are numerous new coins coming and going, many of them with unique features. Who says that one of them will not push towards the top someday, especially if they possess innovative solutions for real-world problems? Also, the industry, in my opinion, is pretty exciting! what you say makes sense, increasing your knowledge of the technology that these cryptocurrencies you are trading can help you but when it comes to trading, specifically trading altcoins, that knowledge is not going to be helpful as much as you may hope. for instance you may have a pretty good understanding of the blockchain technology and find a very good coin that is implementing the technology in a very interesting way and you may find it full of potential because of it .... but these types of coins are never profitable in the altcoin market!

Pump and dump industry is a must-know. There is nothing terrible about it. You simply need to know how scams and frauds work, so you do not fall in the trap all the time
Thanks for the contribution!
