Post is long, and after reading it I didn't find anything about problems with bitcoin or in bitcoin, like OP said. People and what people do can be a problem, in some ways, but bitcoin is not responsible for peoples actions.
Trade isn't slavery it's a competition, everyone is free to get involved or not, that's your choice.
Fake volume, buy-sell walls, bots, high fees are the reasons why someone can choose to stay away from trading, no one forces you to do it.
Once again, it's not problems in bitcoin, but problems for traders, they know the risk hence they deal with it.
Great post! Trading is a competition, its you against others, and there's nothing new about it. People can try to make money, but when you are trying to make money there are chances to lose money too, people often forget about that side, and when they lose money they are surprised. They blame everyone and everything around, but they forget they had a choice to try or to stay away.
