I believe that it has a learning curve for sure, but I believe that learning curve is not really as high for someone who has done trading in other stuff versus people who haven't done anything like that before.
So, let's assume we have two people, one of them has done nothing in the trading world at all and never been involved with financial system but just work and get salary and that's it, and the other one is a very successful stock trader, just because one has some experience doesn't mean that he will start with a ton of profit right away, but it does mean that the trader would have a quicker learning curve and start to profit before the other person. Plus, we also have to take the moment they get in into consideration, someone who gets in during bearish time is likely to lose versus the guy who got in during bull time.
People that do had already some knowledge into some markets will definitely had an edge compared to those who do actually started from scratch.Duration or times on grasping something new would really be different
since the other one had already had experience and knowledge but somehow that new thing does have differences on what he had known in other stuff that he'd been doing.
In the case scenario above which it does really shows that stocks and crypto are totally different and if you do take it lightly then you'll surely experience some nasty loss and you would soon realize
that it doesnt really work that way.
The amount that had been lost would really be just a small amount to him but its great that he had realized something and it was just right that he had differentiated between crypto and stocks.
