Bitcoin Forum

How many here have traded stocks or other financial assets before trading bitcoin? Were/are you good at it?

I've traded stocks off and on for 17 years, made good fast profits on most my trades, but lost 2 big ones because of inexperience, or not doing any research. Last year I made 70% on gold mining stocks, after learning the hard way in 2008 to stay away from the junior explorers.

I do trade with stocks before well I can say that I earn good money from their but after learning about bitcoin I decided to focus more here and make my stock market investing for long term.

Yes i have been trading with stocks for a long time, since i was 16 years old. And i have been trading on forex for more than two years, it is all the same thing.

I made a lot of profit, but i have lost some money when i was a newbie in there too, like everybody did when they were just starting.

When i discovered that i could start to trade with cryptos too, i switched and i deposited all my money on Poloniex, and that was the 2nd start that i had on cryptos.


It is very sad to see that you made 70% on a year, if you could just invest that money on crypto for over a year you were easily going to make more than 1100% in just a year.

My friends have had success investing in stocks mainly Lithium ones, but I never got into it. Also money was an issue I didn't have much and that is why I like crypto the barrier to entry is low and anybody can make an account on an exchange and get started basically instantly. If you have more money it takes a little time to get verified but you would need to get verified in any other industry too its nbd.

I personally try stocks before the bitcoin, but I still have the same defects, very impatient.

Nope, never really did any trading beyond some simulators and the like, nothing where I actually had some capital that was at risk. If I had some kind of accounts open thanks to my parents or someone from when I was young, they never told me about them and I never gained access to them. My only trading experience now is stuff on Poloniex and the other various exchanges for Altcoins, and some local exchanges for Bitcoin. And that's super detrimental because FOREX and Bitcoin trading are very different in size and scope, meaning a lot of my experience is limited to cryptos only.

I'm an old trader in stock market but my trading history is not that intense like you. And then I decided to get started with bitcoin, so far so good in bitcoin market. The market keeps going well.
