In my experience, if we only rely on predictions/speculation, it is not possible, because if we want to make a profit in any case, we have to really analyze it first, because speculation in any field usually results in just betting on luck.
And depend on whos sending those predictions and speculations because if those are just a random guys that trying to share their luck then indeed that we must not deal with it seriously .
though we can check their sharing if valuable and can use as pattern to our choices .

In my own opinion (and as what i am using also) that I also tried to add my instinct from my market analyzation and yes for sometime I have gaining though its not that biggie but for me this is worth using .
Predictions about the price of Bitcoin are made every day. An opinion should be formed based on the reasons given by those who make predictions based on a reason. The decision whether to invest or not should be a personal decision. I think it is a big mistake to invest based on the opinions of others and without doing your own research.
Market forecasts and the fundamentals on which these forecasts are based should be examined, analyzed and an investment decision should be made. Otherwise, daily forecasts will confuse the investor.
What I appreciate most in what you write is for people who are following others to also do their own research, which is the best advice anyone could give to struggling or new traders. Personally, I do not dissuade traders from gaining from the professional ones if they see themselves as inadequate, and I tell you, there are some very good analysts out there only that people might not get to know them easily as the best ones I know then didn't have their channels, neither did they trade visibly to the social space but were only contractors by banks and Forex brokers, I was only fortunate to know them.
I learned a lot through these people even as they gave their daily signals and commentaries about the market and I must say that most of them made me what I am today in trading as I've been trading on my own for about a decade ago without the help of others. This is why I encourage people to find help if they are not yet able to stand on their trading feet, it's nothing but as they use others' work, they should develop themselves as well. Before they use the work of others, they must do their own research and be sure that the source of their signals or information is a very good one.
When you are just new into this market or simply you do have plans on becoming a trader then it wouldnt really be that a bad idea that you would really be needing to have to look into those kind of speculations
and as long it would really be that just for free then it wont really be that a bad idea on trying out to learn something from it until you would really be able to make your own and make out some comparison
and trying out to determine on which is better or something that you could really be able to apply. It would really be just that normal that this market is really that been flooded out by lots of
speculations around on which it is really just that depending on you whether you would really be that applying those or would really be that relying on your own.
Also, it doesnt really give out that kind of feeling in speaking about regrets because you do know that you are making that kind of decision which is basing on your own
not on others. Regrets do usually happen when you do follow someone but ends up on loss.
