Imagine if anyone can be an formula one driver. HEY LET'S ALL BE F1 RACERS! So we go into our new career as a professional F1 driver. Sure, all of you know how to drive a vehicle, but there are only a few people that have the mechanical aptitude to LEARN. We've all at one point entered this profession blindly, but some will highly excel at it because they most likely highly excel at everything they do in life.
I hate to break the news, but 95% of people will fail as a trader. Trading is not about intelligence.
Imagine starting a new sales job where you know nothing. The commission you make is ultimately up to how hard you work. The learning curve for any new job can be steep. Especially for trading. People who get into trading with no knowledge will lose their principle (initial investment) to experienced traders. For every winner, there's a loser. The allure of making a quick buck is one of the reasons that fuels the crypto market. It sounds easy, buy low, sell high. One million times easier said than done.
This is not a Best Buy type job where anyone can do it with a little training. No sir, this is a job that takes incredible grit, constant growth and learning, and MASSIVE EMOTIONAL DISCIPLINE to be successful.
I will guarantee 100% if you randomly pick when to buy and sell with no knowledge of what you're doing, the market will have this special way of humbling you very fast because experience traders will take every penny you put into the market. It's also like any job where your compensation is directly proportional to your performance. For trading, it's no different. The work you put in with how much you're willing to learn about the market will directly reflect how profitable you can be.
You have to have a tinkering type personality to fix, refine, and critically think. Those that ask constantly "when should i buy. what should i buy," are all sheep and will never be as fluent or successful with crypto as someone who's willing to put in the time and hard work to learn.
Check out my basic guide if you're new. Maybe it can help you. Don't ever stop learning. Keep an open mind.
