Initially before this forum , I was active in trading crypto which sometimes my analysis will enter for me and I will make some money and at a point the phobia of loss enveloped my thought and I stopped trading crypto because of series of losses
You're not the only one. Stats show that about 75% of crypto traders stop trading along the line due to losses and they mostly happened because they trade against the market trend, no risk management, and no stop losses. Another reason is that crypto trading is not meant for them.
I know a majority of people never had such an impression about crypto trading but it's something that's not meant for everyone and investors/traders should always research about the area they fit in.
but when I joined the forum ( bitcointalk) I read a thread that talked about patience and that all the newbies should Hodl coins instead of trading and that they should go through what the high ranked members post before making their own post
Normally, you have to read, the previous discussion on the thread you wanted to post in so your post won't be off-topic or won't be about the discussion that already concluded but not all high-rank member's posts should determine your decision. You have to do your research first because some posts contain misinformation.
