Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys,I have learnt a lot from my mentor in crypto trading that made me to became who I am today in the society. Do you have a mentor in crypto trading? I never know how important a mentor is to investors when I nearly lost my $300,000 few years ago, until I found a potential mentor who thought me when to sell my coins to make a good income and when not to sell not to experience losses in the market.

Who is a mentor?

A mentor is a someone who help people to achieve their common goals. Mentor never give up on helping people until they began to see a good results coming out from them. Mentor don't scam people who are trying to rise like them than to help them to stand well.

Do we still have potential mentor in crypto community today?

I love Satoshi because he was a great mentor i have never see in the whole world, for building a great family like this, that will produce future president's of different countries and senators that will make this decentralized currency fully legalized in the whole world.

When did Satoshi guide a proper trading for you? lol, AFAIK Satoshi never post any trading stuffs, he was talking about realistic about his speculations about Bitcoin. I doubt there's a legit mentor will guide you about how trade Bitcoin since no one can control it, it's different if your mentor tell you to trade shitcoin. He might a shills or the CEO, that's why he ask you to buy shitcoins.

My guess that this lovely novel is a simple attempt for fishing for some newbies to be mentored scammed.
I mean, come on, somebody trading 300k is coming to post like this?  ;D

The best case scenario is that a newbie will pay for the service, but most probably won't learn anything that's not already written here.
The worse case scenario will be that a newbie would pay for the service and also lose his money for some shitcoin or scheme.

PS. Needless to say, I hope I'm wrong, but be wary.

By definition, a mentor is mostly someone who can give you advice and is someone you can personally consult. By your definition — especially knowing that you're talking about Satoshi himself (whom you most probably never talked to), you're describing more of an inspiration or role model, than a "mentor".

Trading is too risky for me, and having a mentor in trading is a good way not to lose money in trading I must say I have a professional cryptocurrency trader who use to share some trading guides with me but then I can call him a mentor since I mostly pay for his services until I lost interest in trading recently. Mentorship comes in different ways and you have to draw a line between mentorship and a role model Santoshi is a role model as a mentor is someone with who you can actively get involved with both communication and relationship bodily and doesn't have to be from afar.

I can't dream when you meet Satoshi and he teaches you to trade with the usual signals shared in telegram groups.

In my early days in the crypto market, of course, someone taught me about trading in the market. but very simple, about how the market works and how to make transactions according to our wishes.
specifically, to buy a certain asset, I don't think I would believe it. in trading, believe in yourself. that's if you want to grow.

Your post does not look well convincing for me. How do you bring in Satoshi into your trading experience. Is Satoshi teaching you or anyone how to trade? Do you know who Satoshi is? Common on, that part of your post looks more like you just want to post something here. You trading with a lot of money hmmm, do you really have that kind of money ? I hope you don't start making newbies to confused.

It seems like you have difficulty understanding what the term "mentor" really means. Satoshi may be your role model, or you may be inspired by him, but either way, he wasn't your mentor. Especially not when it comes to crypto trading, because he never said anything about it, as far as I know.


A what now?

Don' t trade if you are new in crypto. Your mentors can not save you in this market. You can do stupid things by yourself and your mentors can not control.what you do.

You can not ask for advice from your mentor when he or she is sleeping. You can sell or buy and your mentor can not control your clicks. Mentors only can give you advice that is not enough to save you.

In order to have wise and calm decisions in crypto market, you must have enough experience from win to lose and mistake. Mentor can not shift his or her experience to you. What you get from mentors are lessons and advice.

In the beginning, you are talking about a mentor, which means you are guided directly from stage 1 to another. If in the end, Satoshi was your mentor, when did he teach you to trade?

Slightly misunderstood the concept of a mentor that is not quite right when it is linked. How to use it as your motivation to love Bitcoin? because Satoshi didn't introduce us altcoins. It also indirectly does not face to face.

Your expectations are too high OP. In reality, people do it to make a living and not for social work.

But with how rampant the mentorship scams are, people are more likely to encounter a scammer. Think twice if the "mentor" spends most of their time "mentoring" rather than trading themself and claims something too good to be true.

Satoshi may be an icon for everyone, but he is certainly not a mentor to anyone. Satoshi is the one who invented Bitcoin, but he is not the one who laid the foundations for trading. A mentor who should guide you through your trading must be someone who is an expert in trading, not the creator of Bitcoin. However, I don't have a mentor in trading, but I am dependent. I try to learn from my mistakes to make my own trading strategy.

It seems that a mentor is the one that is needed to learn something right especially since trading requires you to use real money. Good mentors are those who are willing to teach you knowledge without expecting anything from you and I don't think it's like service.

You don't have to pay someone to teach you some trading knowledge because now there is a lot of useful knowledge shared for free whether you like visualization or something else. YouTube, articles from several trusted sources can be good mentors for that. Satoshi didn't tell me how to be a good trader, but the experience of other traders has given me a lot of knowledge about how I should start trading.

In trading the mentorship is different and in other spheres it's entirely different, in trading you will find hundreds of people who are just scammers and will teach you all the generic knowledge which is already available. In trading you need someone who should handhold you towards the right direction and make you a trader who doesn't runs behind mere profits rather takes up trading as an exercise to churn return on his investments in a longer term by taking profits when market is favourable and taking loss when market is unfavorable.

Whoever your mentor is, i must say that he is certainly an expert trader that knows when to lose and not to lose. Which i think is very odd when it comes to crypto trading because we all know how unpredictable it is, but still you manage to escape from losses. It's more on you are acting not a real trader or, lol. However, i don't experience that mentoring or got to be mentored even before as i mostly learn all by myself, but i think those you called mentors these days are not anymore reliable, that they love your money more than anything else.

Even if you lost that much money you still got lucky by finding a mentor, the reality is that very few people can find a mentor as there are very few people that can make money in the markets and there are not really a lot of them that want to share their knowledge with someone else.

But if you can find one then this is a huge advantage as your mentor can tell you really quickly if an idea that you have is a good one or if it is worthless, something that is invaluable as the rest of us have to backtest our ideas to see if they work at all, and this is a process that could even take weeks even if you invest all your free time in order to find out the validity of your ideas.

Satoshi did nothing to you nor did he/she teaches you how to trade. You'd rather say thank you for your bad experience as in that way you had learned and acquired someone who will teach and guide you on the right path.

I was just amazed by your optimism and strong personality to carry over those huge losses and still have the courage to continue trading as it happened to me, I certainly quit.

Finding a mentor via online is not advisable as more than likely, you will encounter a scammer. So it is best if you can find it via personal connections or within your close contacts. It is very rare that you can find a valuable mentor that is reliable and won't take advantage of you in terms of financial matters. I don't have mentor in crypto trading, I just learned the tricks throughout the years of being in this market. So whatever I want to trade, I still do my own background check for the coin.

I don't have any when I started this trading journey and all my mentor to be called is my grit and dedication to learn in trading. I guess that can be called a mentor too, so do the experiences.

I guess mentor has differences on every individuals, just take what I said above as an example. We still have a lot of potential for mentors in this space considering this is still early as a market, many will evolve as a great mentor, may it a person or just a stuff like a book.

I envy those that have personal mentors. I guess a lot of people here are independent and have learned from others' teachings and articles about the topics that we want to learn.

If you follow an influencer through social media, they can be said as mentors as long as the topics they're tackling is related to the need you want to have.

But it's still different from someone who actually gives you the idea on what you must do and directly talks to you.

^ You are very lucky that you have found a mentor that is honest with you because it is rare now to find someone like them, most of them are scammers, or else they were milking you and it seems like wasting your money and time. A mentor is good if you know them personally, but if you find them on the internet only, probably there is 70% of dishonesty are with them.
However, you don't need to rely on them if you have skills and knowledge already, just don't go trading if you don't have it, it is good if you have prepared for a situation like this and don't rely upon other people in a long run, probably this will consider if you are a newbie like 2-4 months in trading, beyond than that, it is not necessary.

for beginners it takes a hard struggle to tread to become a professional trader. it can happen that many newbies change mentors to get a path that suits him in terms of learning. but many mentors are only material oriented, moreover many of them are not real traders but give lectures by paying a certain amount of money. but if we have found it to form the basis of our trading, then it will be easier to develop trading knowledge according to each other's convenience

Exactly what I was wondering reading through the OP. Almost 99.99% of the people you met who claim to be a "mentor" or "pro trader" are none but overconfident chaps or scammers who know how to talk but have no idea how to trade effectively.

There do exist some real and legit mentors who may teach you a thing or two about trading but to rely solely on the mentor is a terrible idea. I rather prefer tips & learning than having a personal mentor because lets be honest, if the guy was so successful he would be making millions and not helping a newbie learn how to trade. If you rely on someone your growth is only as high as your mentor.

You have never met satoshi how come he is your mentor. No one is going to sacrifice their time on an adventure that won't yield profit. You should review your definition of who a mentor is and what his role is in the minds of those they mentor. This doesn't mean mentors are free from scamming. Focus on the knowledge for yourself because every mentor focus on building themselves and trades as well

To be honest, for me, in general, the best option turned out to be a rather simple option, but it was this option that allowed me to learn how to work well. I studied myself on a demo account and was able to get a really good result.

Good for you mate. It was to say that some traders just learn through online tutorials, demo accounts presented by the exchange, and some also had learned because someone like their friend thought about trading personally or online. There are a lot of ways and it was our option which one we take and it also depends on which we think we can easily manage to learn.

Like OP, he use to have a mentor and it looks effective for him either and for me, I do learn through watching youtube and some kind of research.

It's not easy being a professional trader or a successful trader, but as long as we work hard I'm sure we can become successful traders. Because
hard work usually gives positive results, therefore I have not stopped learning until now to improve my skills in trading. I have failed several times,
but as long as we don't give up and keep working hard, then our wish to become a successful trader will come true.

Regarding mentors, that is another important factor to accelerate us to become successful traders, and I have several mentors who have helped me
to become a good trader. It must be admitted that it is not easy to find a mentor who honestly wants to help us, most mentors just want to get
money from us. Therefore I recommend taking a trading course that has a good reputation, so at the trading course, we can be guided
by a trusted mentor. If we want to be a successful trader without a mentor we can do it, but maybe the process might take longer. So anyway,
I really recommend that we trade with a mentor, because the mentor will minimize the losses we experience, because we will be taught
to trade effectively. So never give up looking for a good mentor, because the role of a mentor is quite important in my opinion.

Your post is short but rather ambiguous.
It has a title as "Mentor experience in crypto trading ". But it didn't go down to discuss the mentorship in details but rather had to tell us how large your trading portfolio is(which is an attempt to lure people in to make you a mentor). Then it went further to praise Satoshi which is so much unrelated. Satoshi was not a trading mentor or anything relating to it, maybe you used the name to make bitcoiners believe you are a true lover of bitcoin.

Well, all I can say in mentoring is that it is the fastest route to success, only if you have one.

Mentor can't help you to achieve your goals in cryptocurrency trading all they can do is guidance and how to tackle the situation but you have the sole responsibility of facing the consequences. Having a mentor is not really necessary for cryptocurrency trading but if you can afford then you can.

it's always good idea to have a mentor in trading because they're always in your side to correct your mistakes and in order to avoid it again as well in the future. Actually i have mentor but due to being lack of capital i decided stop it for a while after my contract.. But yeah i can rate it 10, because they're useful and you can really gained knowledge from them even a months or two only especially if you're a fast learner.

Thats what i do like to ask too on regarding about on being a mentor since Satoshi didnt teach something in regarding about trading or on how to handle up yourself in the market but somehow he do created something which is something revolutionary or something did really able to help us on investment opportunity but in speaking with trading
then i dont see any relevance in regarding with this discussion.

Mentor is optional yet you could able to make yourself learn without any needs of any teacher or someone else rather making yourself learn because all of things can really be found on the net which means you dont need to follow someone but its not bad to snip out some ideas on others but dont rely too much and make yourself
learn with your own experience.

For me, I don't have a PERSONAL mentor or 1 person only. For me, a great mentor is yourself and your community, especially today you can learn easily because there are already a lot of sources and materials to learn about trading, the internet is your friend and can be your mentor too.
Overall, it will matter to taste of a people for learning.

This a funny OP.  But does OP knew Satoshi as a trader of Forex or Stocks?   ;D

I did have a hero that I look up to when I was learning to trade. Unfortunately I only know him  online like David Waring of Informedtrades.com. When I started learning to trade with just the $600 I got to my paypal account, I started to look for something to make money online and I found Forex to be my option. Eventually though I switch to Bitcoin when I lost it all.

Satoshi was a developer born once in a century, calling him a mentor is not appropriate I feel.

Coming back to the point of mentoring in crypto trading; I feel like it's good to have a mentor who can guide you and provide support when things go wrong but at the same time you need to ask him why is he a mentor if he's actually so good. If your mentor is someone who does it as a job then it makes sense otherwise if one is good at trading himself/herself then they don't need to mentor others ;).

When I started trading I used to watch videos and learn, never had a mentor and I am pretty good at trading learning on my own. I faced losses as well but it was all part of the learning process.

Satoshi is the creator not a mentor? and when he created it I doubt that it is listed already in exchange site but let's go back to the mentor thing. I think it is really helpful if the mentor is good most of the "mentor" now would just like to have your money or have a commission in your trades like they are going to use you and your capital as their capital and earn from it without risking.

I don't have a mentor but I think it would be helpful if he is really willing to help you learn and earn yourself in this market.

You can admire Satoshi but you can't depend on Satoshi either. Sathosi only Creates the Digital Currency "Bitcoin" and cannot be considered a "Mentor" or guide your crypto trading.
Cryptocurrency trading or investing is your own responsibility, no one from Satoshi, Mentor or anyone else can take full responsibility for your decisions.
If you are planning to invest in the cryptocurrency industry. Make sure you have capital that you can afford to lose or often called "cold money" which means you must also be prepared to face losses. Regardless of the term investment risk.

But, who are you now today? Are you successful now? Because, I think you are just a normal user that joins bounty. 300k is a huge amount of money and if you really have that money, then why you are still here joining campaigns? Sorry but that won't make me believe in your story.

I don't currently have a mentor but my mentor is my own self only and somehow it was effective. What's better with it is you can become a better person because you will learn everything starting from the very bottom while if you just jump in on having a mentor they can make things easier for you and you will still feel incomplete after that. You will feel that something is missing.

If you want to learn via spoon-feeding, mentoring is the best option that you don't need to study and research hard.
But I tend to agree with what you've said, we have here a community that anytime you can ask and considering as a mentor of yourself.  If you're a good trader, you won't rely upon your mentor at all times, you still need to learn on your own, from scratch, until you will successfully become a good trader.

Though we've preferences in life, it always matters to us our willingness to learn.

I'm just curious:

who is your mentor?
how long have you had this mentor?


I don't have a mentor, to be more precise, all the guys I see saying that they offer this kind of mentoring services are scammers, what annoys me is that they lie and always get away with it because they're not forcing people to listen to them and they are not saying you will have guaranteed profits so by law they are not guilty


99% of these mentors are liars, they are big scammers

I was glad to hear about your success mate...But I say this was not because you have a mentor who guides and teaches you, it was also because you accept to change and you are willing to do so. Because in many cases, mentorship doesn't work, and of course, it really doesn't work if both parties won't work together as it was supposed to be.

We'd learn in different ways...I do just online and YouTube tutorials but because I am willing to take risks and not afraid to learn, I got what I want to happen. It is just a matter of time.

It's fantastic to have a mentor you can rely on and form into who you are today. Mentors are meant to guide you but not walk you through it entirely because it will always be YOU who will carry you towards the goal you have, which will be the challenge everyone will face.

Many people are known to be good at trading and can make themselves appear suitable, but some scammers make it seem that they are making themselves credible first and then scam later. Picking the right mentor should be a big deal, and you should know who you are choosing. Like with a background that's going to reflect who they are, and they will be the one shedding light on what they are planning for the future and how you are going to be helped.

I'm not sure how Satoshi became a mentor because did he teach students about it?

Basically, everyone has their own way of dealing with their trading journey,
either with a mentor or self-taught it all depends on each person,
Currently, there are indeed many platforms that we can use, one of which is YouTube

In fact, it can help the one who will be learning. But you shouldn't have high hopes, you need to be confident in yourself.

If you do have mentor and on the time you would have much losses then you would really be thinking off again to go other path or ways which is totally opposite on what your mentor do talks or teach.

Its not really worth since from the start because teaching someone for some penny subscription is no sense as someone who do have proper knowledge about trading or other aspects then i wont
bother myself on  teaching someone since i could earn more than with those amounts if i would put up all of my time on my own trades.

Same goes for those who are tending to seek for someone for them to follow but i would say that it isnt really worth.

It depends on the quality of the mentor, after all there are many people that pay a lot of money for courses that are not really worth that much, in that case a mentor is not going to help you, however if the mentor you find is someone that is close to you and he has reasonable success this can greatly boost the rate at which you learn and how much money you can earn in the markets, as they do not care about making money out of you and they actually want you to become successful.

If talking about mentors for me in some ways we need but on the other hand we can learn on our own,
mentor does have influence but it also depends on us and the mentor,
and if you don't get a mentor who is close to us like you said maybe it's better that the money can be allocated to other things

Learning from a mentor is quite different results in learning on your own.
I simply just notice that many tutorials that we found online are just shortcuts, it was too easy to gain ideas if someone like a mentor could teach you in actual trading and do the corrections (is possible).

However, as mentioned above replies, not all of it works effectively and that was because it depends on how they interact with each other and the strategies of teaching used. A good mentor or even an expert trader can be ineffective if he/she can't teach it clearly or his/her student isn't a good listener and follower.

In speculative trading, there is no such thing as mentor unless it is a family member who has good interests in your own profits. Anybody else giving you financial advise, is very likely trying to shill their own coins and have their own narrative to push in.

Youtube is good only if you are resistant to shills and their manipulation. Because the information on internet is unregulated, there is a massive surge of shill-based content on such social media and therefore should be used with caution.

The basis trading is only buy low and sell high, what mentoring is needed for that? This is no rocket science. ::)

Never had one as per your definition. If reading the forum fellow members and their threads regarding trading is mentorship then yup I get it on daily basis. But part from that I never had in person mentor. May be few tips from friends but not on regular basis. This always had been the case with me. I always pulled trading tips on the forums, books, and may be some YouTube channels which explains how to do technical analysis and work with the day trade. That I am doing on the regular basis. With that said I have also not been mentor for someone. Trading is really something personal these days. Everyone wants to be perfect in it and apply their own strategies for the same.

He gave various suggestions and experiences about Satoshi Bitcoin. He did not lie about trading.He gave a lot of information about Bitcoin.However, many people will give a lot of advice about trading. Those who trade with shitcoin coins will give you experience about seat coins.The shit coin you are told to buy is probably a shit projector CO.

I totally agree with what you are doing, trading becomes something that is personal, because when applying the method in trading it only feels right for us, and not necessarily suitable for other people's trading. The reason is, the portion of trading and our needs when doing analysis is something that is driven on the basis of need. Always looking for information, self-taught learning is more memorable, even though sometimes make a lot of mistakes.

It's best to learn from your mentor instead of trying to hope they will make you earn. Mentor to me is only useful if you are learning something from them. It's similar to how you have teachers who can give you the world of knowledge but you cannot expect them to write your answer sheet for you. Similarly, you should learn as much as you can from your mentor but remember you have to execute the strategies and plans yourself, no one can do it for you. Maybe a mentor can make a few trades for you but not going to last forever.

I always feel it's better to trade yourself and learn gradually rather than having a mentor and trading like a king. The reason I am saying this is because you will at point have to do it alone and when you have no one to consult with, you will struggle to trade independently since you always traded like a king who had people around to suggest and him.

Getting ideas or learning from others isnt something bad but relying on it fully is actually not really that good or beneficial at all because you would really be ending up on being dependent
which we know that it isnt really that right for you to done this for long term. Mentor is good if you do find yourself having a hard time on learning everything but just like on what others
been saying that making yourself learn without the need of these things is indeed possible and it do matters on the effort and time that you would gonna spend into it.
So its up to someones personal choice when it comes to this one.

Yes, mentors are important, but to see a situation where finding a mentor isn't as easy as going to university just sits and listens. The mentors we often find are influencers looking for the stage, while traders with good mentality and qualities are clearly hiding behind their prowess. They are relatively secretive, so finding them is a stroke of luck.

Plus crypto trading is difficult in the region we live in, forcing us to be completely independent and not dependent on any of it.

Satoshi wasn't a mentor at all, that is a wrong idea, he was an inventor and that’s it, he just talked about what bitcoin is, and never really how to trade. However, I agree with you that trying to find a mentor is a tough challenge, you could end up with a good profit, or you could end up with nothing at all and a scammer will take all of your money.

When you are in a situation like that, investing becomes a big problem. I personally believe that the best thing to do would be to find other people who have mentors and if you see that they are making profit thanks to teachings of that mentor, you could follow them up and make that kind of profit along with them.

It is true that just because someone could be a master at something this does not necessarily mean this person will be a good teacher, and even if they were each person learns on their own way so the student and the teacher may have different communication styles which do not match.

But even with all of those considerations I still think it is a great advantage to have a mentor over not having one, as one of the main problems many experiment when trying to learn more about the markets is the huge amount of information available about the topic, so they do not know where to begin or what to believe, as they do not know much about the subject at such point in their development.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the market is always changing and the trend is changing every few months and it's more evident in crypto. This shows that no matter how good your mentor is and how vast their knowledge is, you and the mentor will always have to adapt based on how the market is changing and make sure you are up to date with the latest indicators, tools and marketing strategies.

The best way to learn to trade is by following this chain: Trade --> Lose --> Rectify mistakes --> Repeat

The quicker you eliminate the mistakes and rectify them, the better trade you will turn into. Also important to make sure you are not making the same mistake by different means otherwise it will take years to rectify a single mistake.

Adaptation and being versatile would really be the key and its true that even mentors or lets called those pros would definitely or should make out some adjustments depending on market condition.

Just like on what people been saying above that its not really that needed on having a mentor because you could eventually learn up for yourself on how you would able to handle yourself in to the market.

It is really just needing up some experience and some effort on doing so but of course you do need to set proper plans or goals.

This is a good thing if you are just trying the site and already know how tradings works but if you still have zero knowledge about trading, its either you learn on your own or you look for a mentor. Looking for a mentor is not bad at all but if you really want to see a good one, you must be willing to pay for their fees and in my country there’s a lot of professional traders who offers this with a reasonable price. You can start looking for them and learn in just a short period of time, after that you can continue learning on your own.

If we could find a good mentor that will help us understand how to trade, instead of a mentor who try to tell us what to trade, then we are going to make a good profit. I had one that helped me understand what to trade and when to trade and how to trade, and that person was the reason why I managed to become a good trader to begin with.

I have spent years trying to learn, but since it was always courses that talked about it but couldn't respond to my questions, all those youtube videos and all meant nothing to me, I needed to learn but also ask questions in my mind and get a response, that mentor was available at all times and allowed me to do that.

Well, lucky are you that you have a great mentor that is very much knowledgeable in this crypto market. I'm just curious because knowing how unpredictable this market, even a legend in this forum, cannot totally escape losses from crypto trading. So your statement may somewhat be confusing not only for me but i guess for everyone in the forum. Although everyone of us needs mentors especially if we are new to crypto trading, but i believe everyone is susceptible to losses no matter how good you are in trading.

Your post OP really got us all confused because you are dragging Satoshi into your crypto trading when the fact, this man has already hidden from the spotlight. Or maybe you are referring to faketoshi i guess. But whoever you are referring to as your mentor, he may be good in trading probably but he can't be profitable at all times. Afaik, losses is also part of trading that's why it becomes inevitable when we enter crypto trading.

I never actually have had any mentor for myself since my involvement in cryptocurrency , it has always been and still is do it yourself thing for me. I do my research, perusing through many people's experiences and write ups, and from my own bitter sweet experiences too.

Not that u don't need or love to have a mentor, but ............!

Yes, basically no matter how good the mentor is, it can even be said to be very professional, I think he still has experienced losses in trading,
I agree with you that both profits and losses are part of trading that can never be separated,
it's absolutely impossible for sure to continue to profit

In general, it is quite useful for a trader if there is a mentor. But you need to understand that not all mentors are experienced, and most importantly, you also need to rely on your own knowledge, and not just on strangers.

And in the first place, we don't need someone who is not knowledgeable enough to teach us as this makes no sense at all. if we ask for a mentor and want to gain more ideas, we are supposed to look for an expert in that field, not the one who is also just like us (beginners).

Exactly, not all who got a mentor succeeded after, some had also failed because of decision making. This is an individual response to the market and this couldn't be taught.

No one absulotely earns fast cash without putting on something we think it would be hopeful. Although they suffer losses but still we need to man up to overcome and think more starter to avoid consequences.

  For sure majority of the traders are not into it. For new young people better to know about crazy things because is might help to noveone from any risk.

Mentors could serve as our guides especially if they're skilled enough to impart their knowledge to us but we shouldn't rely everything on them. Even professional traders fail at times. It's also important that you'll be able to deal with the market personally and make firm decisions when it comes to trading based on your own experience.

Not really no. And it costed quite a lot I must say, both in terms of time and money spent.A mentor could help in reducing that though, and also advise on developing the proper mindset and mentality when it comes to trading, saving a lot of time and money. Not to mention it doesn't only help early on, but also later as well with the connections you've made.
 
Not that I'm complaining really. At the very least, it made me have that experience of learning crypto on my own and knowing how to react to stress and emotional experience that I got when I started trading. It's still a pretty good experience for me if I do say so.

Having a mentor to better understand the crypto world is the best way to get the right information. I don't think it's bad for beginners, but it's good that the mentor is also the right person where he already understands things quite well.

Some people ask me to teach them about forums and how to get started here, of course I don't mind if they are really serious. But sadly I don't have much time to give them enough information about the forum so far other than just asking them to read more rules and interact with other users. I might also be able to tell them something related to trading or investing, so that it will allow them to understand it properly rather than being self-taught.

You would really be needing to move on and make learning from your past mistake and there are people who do really love to play with fire or risky things.Overcoming is a must
for you to improve yourself way more than it was before.

Having some mentor isnt that bad but making yourself learn and progress on the real experience that you had attained.

My first question is, if the mentor is so intelligent and so professional in trading, then why don't he make money himself ?
Why is he sharing his so valuable strategies for other people ?
To be honest, in terms of trading no need of any mentor.
It's your own money, so you should be the one who will decide where to invest where to not.
In a later period of time, if there is losses, then you only go and blame your mentor.
So it's better to have no mentor than someone you gonna blame in the future.
Crypto trading always comes with risk, so if you are able to manage the risks without any problem, then I am sure no mentor is needed.
Willing to hear other people's opinion on this matter.

This can help at least in that the trader has a person who already has enough experience. But do not forget that this is still not your experience and it is important to understand this.

In cryptocurrency no one really needs a mentor to make decisions on how to spend money on trading,  nobody is too good to predict the market , so every man to take decisions on what to do. The people we refer to be mentor are not perfect or experts,  they still run some losses. But their is still nothing wrong if one decide to have mentor that is more knowledgeable in cryptocurrency that can help in good idea, I don't think one needs mentor that will decide what to do in trading.

Mentor is really just good when you are really trying out to learn but everything seems out to be hard to be absorbed or something you cant learn but in general sense then its dumb or impossible for

someone not able to do so considering that every resources needed can be found online which means that you arent really needing on paying up someone just to make you learn.Just dont

make yourself that lazy or having those kind of mindset on believing that everything could really be easy because once you do step your foot into trading then it would really be
just like dealing yourself on a wild wild west.  :D

But, how can they become one (a mentor) if they know nothing about crypto trading? Don't tell me they are only faking it? But we should only avail to those who are verified if ever you are a type of person that will spend on this kind of service.

We don't have any knowledge if we are just getting started, that is why some will hire a mentor to learn trading in a much easier and faster way but if you don't have a money, or you simply think that the money you will spend on availing a mentor is not worth it then you are always welcome to learn trading on your own. It is still possible anyway. It can be slower and hard but it is free and you can become better than those who learned only from a mentor.

It is not even just good for the newbies neither, the weird thing is, if you think you are a veteran and start to learn crypto trading from another mentor, even if you are as good as a mentor yourself, then you can see another approach to trading. That would make things a lot better for you because you already mastered a method yourself, but then you will be able to master another method by learning it from another mentor.

This will allow you to have different approaches and if you keep doing that it would result with you mastering multiple approaches and do a lot better in the long run. This is of course just my suggestion, if you are a veteran that profits, you may not feel like you need such a task.

Sadly, not right now. I haven't any mentor yet for trading. I know also that this is important and can help me much. But, I am also aware with or without a mentor, I need to learn it better every day.
In this case, the mentor may be helpful enough, but if there is no one, as long as we have a certain community, actually we can share with each other. Sharing about knowledge, experiences, and also other things can also lead us to be better again. But of course, it doesn't mean that we must follow what the mentor or friends are doing.

Satoshi was never a mentor, may be not in the public eye and not here. Satoshi is better known as an inventor.

On a more serious note, mentorship can't be over emphasized. Though there are some who think they can bypass the process and do it all alone. They may get there, anyway, but it will take a longer process to achieve than they've a mentor. This is where wealth of experience comes in. Anyone mentoring you without experience shouldn't be referred to as a mentor. The basic thing mentorship does is direction on how to navigate a certain terrain. Without such, there's no point following anyone's lead.

It doesn't matter that one is monitored whether claiming it secretly or openly or denying it. Every one that doesn't have the original content of anything of course is taking the source from somewhere that is why you have seen people referencing or putting the link out. Knowledge is meant to be shared and no man is an island of its own no need priding over it.

Every mistake is meant to be corrected irrespective the composition and how bold is the compose. In normal circumstances they is a set of people who don't want to learn cryptocurrency with observation but what they need is guidance to redirect their way of falling apart, it's very understandable that Satoshi introduce cryptocurrency especially bitcoin but he never brought the ideology of trading into existences, i will say it's a misconception by op.

You're lucky if you have found a trusted person to mentor and guide you in trading. It's really hard to find someone to trust nowadays. In my experience, I didn't have a mentor but rather did my best to learn things about trading. Tutorials and resources online helped me succeed in my gambling journey. It's still an edge and also fulfilling if you'll be able to do successful trading on your own.

Totally irrelevant it would say because creating something doesnt automatically means on being a mentor which do emphasizing or in talks about trading which you cant really see any connection on it thats why
its really totally hard to understand if you are trying out to connect both things.  Mentor is someone who do teach up something and Satoshi had just created and the rest of learning is done by us which means
that he hadnt do something in part of that which its true that its a misconception i would say that things should be realized it first before making some question so that it would not create some confusion.

Well, even if we have the best mentor in the market, he cannot guarantee for our over all success because just like us, trading will always be hard because of its unpredictable market. I believe than to look for a great mentor, why not make yourself as your own mentor. Study well the market so you can be good in making market analysis, that way you will build your own experience and skills in trading. So no reason to find a good mentor and blame him whenever things are going against your expectations.

I am a supporter of the idea that the most important thing is to find the very normal teacher who will allow you to get the necessary knowledge and be able to give it at the right time.

It's always great if you find a mentor that has a genuine desire to help you, assist you and watch you as you conquer the real field of crypto trading. But not all are lucky enough to be mentored as some have only started with their own selves learning and gaining skills in trading. And for me, that's even better because you stand by your own decisions, you trade with trial and error, and you learn to accept losses as its always hard to beat. So being mentored or not, i think its always on the trader itself on how he will manage himself and be successful in crypto trading.

If you think about it, it's going to be easy if you are going to find different events in the trading field. For sure if you are searching for different trading strategies and techniques, odds are high that there are targeted ads that look for people who are looking for trading groups. So you can join there and start there.

I think it's better to do self-study first and then join some groups so that you have the fundamentals and the right knowledge of the basics in order to be better and grasping it will be easy for you.

Better to know it first and then learn from your mistakes and be consistent. Be strong.

Gone are those days where we can see potential mentors in the crypto community. There may be some left but mostly, mentors these days comes with a good price. You're lucky if you have one as its hard to trust these days especially that all crypto traders are mostly driven by greed. At the end of the day, you realized it's only them that make profits from you while you are certainly in loss. However, not all who have been mentored attain success. Because i believe, the only way to make you successful is by believing on one's self and be able to accept losses and then move on and improve yourself.

It is because of this that it is so difficult to get a mentor to teach you how to trade successfully, after all we have to be honest, trading is difficult and for a trader to become profitable it requires a great deal of knowledge, so it makes sense they do not want to share their knowledge for free.

However since the demand for mentors is so high and the supply so low scammers take advantage of this and they present themselves as mentors, when the reality is they only want to extract as much profit as possible out of their students.

Making one the mentor of themselves takes time and it is a good suggestion. But most newbies actually need someone to just guide them in the process of making a trade and how to use the market movements to their advantage. While internet gurus are mostly shilling their own altcoins there are genuine people who try to help and many of them will be found on this forum.

Misguidance is common here because of free access and non-regulation or review of advices. It is also tough for a newbie to know who is trying to misguide them.

Yeah, that’s true! Mentors mostly are suitable and more recommendable for newbies because they’d definitely need guidance, directions and instructions on how to read and understand the market. Personally, I started off without a mentor, and boy, my mistakes would fill a 10 litre Jerry can :o. In all, I thank God for the stage for which I am now, I can decipher my left from the right, though I learnt this the hard way! I wouldn’t advise any newbie to try and follow my steps, you’d lose too much money, so get yourself a good mentor if you can!

Maybe op trying to appreciate he's good did ::)
This doesn't actually mean he is a trader but a mentor to bring such technology where people transaction online without any interference, So he could be right from my point of view. Now a mentor is not only someone who guide to become successful but also a person which the whole world celebrates and emulates so deep down Satoshi is really a mentor from what he has done so far till date.

Being a creator is totally different when we do talk about mentor-ship yet this do really involved those actual sharing and teaching on particular thing which it didnt really fit out on speaking about Satoshi.
So it wont really be just right if we do talk about these things about mentor yet its not really that relevant.In reality we arent really needing this because you could eventually learn for your own
without needing these things.It do really only requires proper time and proper effort on which you could really make yourself to be aware and how you would gonna deal
on the things you are tending to engage on.

Indeed, I have a friend before who help me to understand basic knowledge in trading, he teach me the jargons, later on I found Kiyosaki books, he is not my mentor but it is good to have Kiyosaki that will open your mind about your finances, some people doesn't like his perspective, I do understand that but for me? it is very helpful for me. There's a lot of book he wrote such as Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Cash flow Quadrant and many more.

There are things which other people cant appreciate while it is really helpful or relevant for you thats why its better not to mind on what others been thinking or feedbacks or opinions.Stick on things which you do

seem that it would really be that beneficial.There are lots of context and references which you could  really listen up to which would really be that relevant on what you are currently dealing.

Snipping some good ideas and applying it with your own trading style and understanding is something recommendable.

This is great advice, even if the techniques a retired trader can teach you should still be valid, at the same time a lot of things can change during the time they do not actively trade the markets anymore.

So while trading with an outdated strategy is better than to trade without a strategy or with a strategy you have not verified to be successful, it is also not really the most optimal path that we can take and it should be avoided if possible.

This is what I did as well but mainly with peter lynch for example. Between Peter Lynch, Warren Buffet and Robert Kiyosaki, you are going to have three amazing investors who can navigate through the market and the financial world we are in and tell you the secrets on how to get rich.

You can learn how to invest effectively with Peter Lynch when you do not have a lot of money and how to find companies that would be profitable, then you can use Warren Buffet to find ways to invest into things that can return something to you for you to reinvest back, so create a vicious cycle that will not end, and with Robert Kiyosaki could allow you to start with almost nothing, but find debt to be quite profitable if you know what you are doing and use others money to make you money. All could be applied to crypto directly.

In my opinion, this can be quite useful. At the very least, if the person who teaches you has enough experience, this can positively affect your work results.

Could be good when you are still starting up because taking a good grasps on something which you arent familiar is the toughest and most challenging time you do have into this career
which it would really be that sensible for you to consider these options but not really that good for you to rely on forever because there would really comes a time where you do need to stand
and make trades on your own on the time you have already gained experience and skills but its up to someones preference if they do stick on making these people to be your reference
on snipping out some ideas since we do have different mindset on how to take a good grasp on something.

But, are there a major change the way crypto market works? Over the past 13 years I think it still work the same. There are still two cycles and that is the bear and the bull. There are coins that come and go but that is normal as they are just junk coins but legit and top cryptos are still there that keeps on going up or going down (fluctuating).

Maybe it's true that mentors are usually the ones which have now a retired from the field that they are teaching because if not then it will be hard for them to coach/mentor people as mentoring is not easy as it seems. This is better so that they can only focus on one thing and they can give you a better advice.

The best mentors in the crypto market are the experiences of others that are shared for free on these forums. Let's be honest that bitcoin and some of the top altcoins are the right choice if someone wants to own an asset that makes them profitable in the long run, they should buy it for an amount they can afford to lose.

Market fluctuations will make traders profit, but also they will be very likely to lose if they are not really able to have a good strategy. Be patient and believe in the potential and understand how to secure it, it is the correct way to invest in this volatile asset.

There are a lot of people who think like they could make some crazy move and get rich miss out on. I mean these are the best at what they do people and all of them think that long term is the way to go, and there are some weird people who say "hey I found shibadogeunicakeswap token and if you invest just 100 dollars you could get wealthy!!" and then shocked when others mock them.

Just realize that there is nothing you could do to make any big changes to something that already works. Buy btc-eth-bnb and just keep on buying them for decades and eventually you will be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams, why look for alternatives, when the recipe is there?

Well I never had a mentor, I've only read some books and somehow a youtuber friend gave me at one point his way of trading, a training where he didn't teach technical analysis but to understand the market, how it moves, what things can taken into account so that we can get an idea of what can happen.

So the best mentor of all for me are the books, but I highly recommend the books that are from some experienced operators, that tell how they operated at the time, that is much more valuable.Personally, I always recommend reading Livermore, Wyckoff, they are my favorite authors, but there are also others who are better known who teach how to see the market from different points of view, such as Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump himself, Warren Buffet, they are all important.

Cryptocurrency trading platforms can offer the most advice to those who have lost the most profits. From my experience, I always think of crypto trading I would suggest.I would never say no to futures trading. Because I lost the most money from this futures trading platform.I may have made a lot of money from futures trading for a while but I lost more than that.That's why I always advise everyone from futures trading to be careful about futures trading.

This is quite important, but in this case there is a risk that the trader will work worse, because he will rely on someone else's experience. This is definitely a minus.

If you are referring about mentor then i can say that in current situations mentor is not easily accessible because no one will guide you and all of the crypto users are just concerned with cash and spreading wrong information. I just thought usable information by watching videos  and more about it i just catch good results from my crypto friends.

Actually without a mentor you can and now the information is also getting more and more extensive,
I think we need to try more and that can be done by watching videos,
It's important to believe in yourself

They're accessible, you can have them freely by following their contents. Those are the self proclaimed mentors that makes daily contents about the market.
You can assess them if they really are what they're speaking and if they have the knowledge about the market and trading. We, as audience can depict that if they're really saying what's on their mind and what they know about trading.

As long it is free then i dont see anything wrong about it but you could eventually notice if its something manipulative or dealing only with shit low cap coins then its up into your own preference whether you would

continue to deal or not.Mentors arent really that bad to look upon as long they dont charged up something for the knowledge and tips that they are giving.Its commendable for those who did for free

and not worth for those people who are asking for sub fees.Just like been saying by the rest of people on here that its better to learn on your own
and snip out some ideas on others.

Based on my experience the role of a mentor is quite important to accelerate us in understanding the world of trading. Because a good mentor
can teach us how to trade crypto effectively and can remind us if we make a mistake. So learning yourself to be a successful trader is indeed
possible and there are people who have succeeded in doing it, but it usually takes longer than us being assisted by a mentor, that's why we need
a mentor to shorten our time. Moreover, the mentor shared his experience and knowledge for free, it was an opportunity that should not be missed.

But I don't think it's a problem we spend money to get knowledge from mentors, most importantly the mentor is trusted and has a good reputation.
Because sometimes there are some mentors whose knowledge is not shared for free, we have to spend some money to be able to get the full
knowledge that the mentor has. And it's only natural that there are mentors who ask for money, the most important thing is that the mentor does
not commit fraud and indeed the knowledge provided is indeed useful. That's why I suggest we only spend money on paying mentors with
a good reputation, so we first check the track record of the mentor, whether there is a negative record or not.

Yes, if it's free, you should have thought that there's some catch on it. They'll sell you directly those coins that they'll suggest to you or they're paid to do that.
And the normal thing with these free things, is that you're the product of them and that's why they're doing it in the form of being a mentor for free but you know, there should be an exchange and return for them.

If they are concerned about making a money then they will try to help someone else via a mentoring program. Crypto trading is popular now and many newbies are entering this field. Some of them will look for a mentor because they think it was hard to do it on their own and they also have the money to avail one.

Those who spread wrong information are usually paid shillers and there are also influencers in twitter and other social media sites. Always be careful with them and it would be better to ignore on something you think is good to be true because those are likely a scam. When availing a mentor it's also a must to check their background first if they are legit and you're sure that the info that you will get is accurate.

You would really be needing to have that self analysis or verifying for yourself if those speculations are considerable and ending up on having higher chance of profitability then it would really be worth on following

some mentor but of course you should need to learn for yourself on what to do so that whenever you do decide to be come independent then you could really stand on your own feet and able to deal up with

this unpredictable market.Its not bad to snip out some idea from other people specially to those who do have experience but its bad on making yourself fully relying
on it thats why its better to set up these kind of goals.

Yes, it doesn't matter. Some people are ready to pay others for good knowledge. Trading is one of those skills that many people may not understand in a short period of time, mentors are sometimes needed. But now that the internet has become a huge library of a lot of knowledge, I don't think a mentor is completely needed either. The basics can be learned on your own, but for a technical or something like that it takes a mentor.

Of course, highly recommended. Not everyone on the internet can be trusted, the same should be thought in the real world. But mentors who actually meet in the real world are more likely to be recognized because they are knowledgeable and recognized people.

No. I learn trading on my own (self-taught).
I think we don't really need a mentor because there are many sources to learn (articles, youtube videos).
In my country, it is difficult to look for a mentor because crypto isn't really familiar. So, people who are engaged with crypto rarely publish it to the public. It makes hard to find a proper mentor.

Satoshi isn't a mentor, he is a creator or initiator. As long as I joined this forum, I never saw any information that tells us Satoshi became a mentor for any people. People in this forum mostly learn by themselves.

Yeah, it's okay to get some ideas from other people but don't wholly depend on it because you'll never know if that's going to work for you. But if it turns out that it's a good one, why there's a need to ignore it?
As long as it's working for you then these mentors are good for you but remind that not all of them really has that heart of helping but just to milk you guys.

I think mentor choosing would be the hard part in there. I mean it's clear that you could learn it from the resources available in the crypto world but if you do not want to get lost in there then you could pick one that would help you but at the same time we are talking about picking a mentor that could give you a wrong direction.

It just doesn't make sense to me that people would pick mentors, but if they really want to, if they think that it's the best way to do it, then they should pick someone that will actually help them and not hurt their future. Because not knowing something could be fixed easily, but knowing something wrong and then teaching the right way takes longer time.

Honestly crypto trading without a mentor will take a lot of strenuous efforts and thorough learning plus plenty of charting hours before such a trader will have a breakthrough or become profitable after series of account rekting, there are so many things to learn in crypto trading such that any newbie who is not well skilled will likely lose huge amount of funds just like the OP, unfortunately a lot of newbies thinks that crypto trading is a get rich quickly scheme thus embark on it without adequate knowledge, actually getting a mentor is not easy perhap majority of them are busy with their trading thus not readily available.

I think that without a mentor a new trader can learn a lot, if they have the basic necessities of control over greed, determination and patience. Unfortunately there is a lack of these skills but they can learnt in due course. This is also why those who have a background of stock market trading can fare better in crypto because they know how to control emotions and how to manage budget.

Even then newbie traders are not a loss. Dummy trading for practice can be done by anyone and mentoring yourself through the process will give you the best learning experience for free.

I know for newbies hiring a mentor sounds more appropriate, but most humans are biased and I wont want newbie traders to become biased like their mentors. If you know how to stop that, then by all means hire a paid mentor. Besides the older forum members are pretty supportive of new traders.

There are a few mentors that seriously offer their services not just for cash; but because they genuinely care about the welfare of your earnings. Unfortunately, the challenge is looking for the right mentor on this space given that anyone can pose as a mentor. I do suggest that if you want to find one, try asking your friends/peers if they know someone so at least someone has vouched it previously.

If you are aiming to look for a mentor online, check their reviews and past projects if they made some success. Be careful, however, as lots of people will pose as crypto experts and mentors, but they only use this as a scam in getting more people to trick them.

Getting a lengthy experience in trading depends solely on your foundation. One can not jump into trading without first setting out the goals to achieved. For me, I looked up to some experience mentors in the space like Chris Ani and Dennis Brian who tutor me on the basis of trading with the aid of their crypto PDFs. They taught me not to trade with emotions rather with the formation of the market and I also learnt to withdraw my profits after trades. 

Everything could really be found online but its the best that those sources or things need would be acquired for free.It doesnt really need for you to spend up tons for any write-ups or something like that
which you could actually able to learn for yourself on having to read up those free things and stuffs which you could see online.There's lots of tutorials and analysis which you could even seen on Youtube or
social media where some traders been posting up their analysis and this is the time you would really be having consideration whether you would really be applying and learning it for yourself.
It is really depending on how someone would really be taking out action and making application and made out right decision basing up on what you had gained and encountered.

don't always believe in online mentors who only show off their advantages, but about technical analysis they don't have it. many who commit fraud under the guise of being a trading mentor by making free learning promos at the beginning of registration and then needing to pay later.

Need or not get a mentor, depending on each individual. At the beginning of trading, I even just watched youtube videos and learned some analysis using the indicators provided and then practiced. So far I can trade well without needing a mentor.

And some serious mentors who really don't charge money and just want to share their knowledge, I've also met in several groups. We just need to study diligently, understand every step that is taken, everyone can learn trading knowledge whether using a mentor or not.

Well I have very different opinions on this subject, for me a mentor is one who can show me that what he says proves it and shows me his profits and losses, it is very easy to come and talk about technical analysis, about fundamental analysis and explain to me what is in a book, which I can easily read, but for me to believe someone and apart from being my mentor is that they show me that what they do is true, that is, a trader must live from trading, and if He is a mentor, he must have a pretty fat account in his portfolio, and obviously he must have losses, but if I see that his profits are greater than his losses, I would gladly take his classes, otherwise not.

Mentor is not a needed one ,when you are new traders.Because from the beginning you need to learn the trading with some good basics.The basics can be learnt at the beginning of the game and not at the middle of the game.When the game was reached the middle,you will find the mentor.Instead of do the trade with your own strategy.Own strategy was important one in the trading,then a low bet trading.

You could really make yourself as a self learn trader.We dont really need any mentors or teachers in regarding on this one since all of possible resources could really be found online.
The rest of things would really be depending or varying on self experience because not all could really be learn through theory.This is why its better to experience on your own
and do keep on learning along the way.Expect for errors and mistakes since it is really just part or normal on the learning process.If you do find that having a mentor
is really that worth then it is really that depending on you but if you could really make yourself learn without needing this then its good to hear on.

Very rare indeed and 99.9% of them would really be asking out for some subscription fees or monthly fees or something like that which i do say that it wasnt even worth for someone to pay considering that you are

really just still getting pure speculative analysis which you could eventually make on your own.You could really make yourself a self learn since every resources could really be found online.

The rest would really be gained through real experience.Its not necessary for you to have a mentor but you could eventually make yourself learn as long you do make actual engagement
and real deal with the market.

You can achieve anything in life by yourself, but you definitely need someone's advice.It is very difficult to navigate life without advice. I also have mentors in my life but I have never and will never forget him.Till now I remember and respect.I have learned a lot from my mentor in life all in all I am successful now.Never disrespect any of your mentors or elders and respect them throughout your life.

Trading is too hazardous for me, but finding a trading mentor can help you avoid losing money in the market. I must admit that until recently, when I lost interest in trading, I had a mentor who is a successful cryptocurrency trader and who used to share some trading strategies with me. There are various forms of mentoring, and you must distinguish them from role models. Santoshi is an example of a mentor since a mentor is someone you can interact with physically and actively for both communication and a relationship—they don't have to be from a distance.

Yes, input or advice from other people is also important because sometimes things like that can change our lives,
so it's true what you say don't ever underestimate it,
just think of crypto trading as life which is dynamic so it is important to have a mentor too

Its not really that necessary if you do find out that you dont need one since you do know on yourself that you would really learn up trading on your own.If there are people who could really able to stand

on their own towards their learning phase then just let them be.If there are people who do really love to have that kind of assistance from a mentor then let them be.Its a matter of personal choice and decision when it comes to things that you are going to need.

If you do have the money to be spent on subscription then its your choice but honestly, things you could definitely acquire just for free.

If you are a person who is looking for a mentor, that part is easy, being the student of a mentor is not a tough thing and if he is a proven person who has made a lot of money and knows what he is talking about, then it's even easier. But, being the mentor part is the hardest part. I am not a mentor in crypto subject to anyone, but I have been a mentor to someone in my own field and I can tell you that the consistency of it is the thing that drove me crazy.

You don't just mentor someone for 3 days a week, you teach a class that way, mentor is someone who is there for you all the time, and it takes so long and that was the hardest thing ever, try to be there for someone for that long.

I do agree, As a mentor can change your whole journey as he has already faced major troubles and experienced each and everything which you are going to face. He can guide you and your progress will be one step higher your journey will more easy as your mentor is with you and he is loyal. Important thing is what he experienced in 10 years and then learned he can teach you in 1 year you can know how helpful it can be.
