However, both traders and investors take advantage of the market up and down price trend but it all depend on individuals knowledge about crypto currency market.
With that been said, the topic was, can we call crypto trading an occupation.
Its not talking advantage beacuse not all of us traders really make money in trading, remember that we traders are betting against each other's prediction on the price movement, hence if one profited, the other will loss, that's how simple it is, therefore it cannot be an opportunity for all of us.
Which way you look at it, it still an opportunity cause opportunity can also be a chance. I Google opportunity it says
"a time or set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something."Although the result may not be positive base on your example it still an opportunity.
This is true, plus as I have always said, trading is a not a zero sum game, someone can buy at 10, sell at 20, while other will buy from him at 20 but sell at 30 and it goes on like that, which means you can go up like this 10 times and down crashing once making 10 people win money while only one lose money. This means it is not a zero sum thing, trading still makes a profit, all depending on what you are looking at. The opportunity to make money is there, it all depends on the market working together and it all depends on how people react to it.
I have been trading rarely, I usually do a long term purchase, only a small portion of my portfolio is for trading, but I can tell you that I have seen people who trade and make a lot of money, but we are in a bull run, so many people traded and made some money, I do not think that one has to lose for the other to win.
