Trading is difficult at the present market, so easy to lose. The best decision nowadays especially for newcomers is to not trade, wait and learn something new about blockchain technology. Often it is more profitable to do nothing.
Easy to lose for those who have no idea about trading and they think everything about life is all about gambling, so normally, I do not expect it not to be difficult. New comers can decide to trade, as long as they have the knowledge about trading before coming into the cryptocurrency world, but for a newbie who is really new to everything including trading, it would be a huge loss for them trying it, but they can as well be my guest.
As long as you are ready to learn and build on your knowledge over time with some experience, then you should always be fine with trading. Only those who are lazy to learn and are always eager to do everything without considering what they are doing as extremely important, then they will always be the ones to suffer the consequences. What is there to learn? People just love making things difficult for themselves, which is how I see it.
