particularly bitcoin, I've gotten some little knowledge about forex trading, because there are lots of trading indicators in forex that helps you in predicting the market flow.

However according to some bitcoin trading expert's on YouTube, they will tell you they've gotten their fingers burnt a lot of times.

So i ask, is bitcoin trading advisable for the lily-livered?

Do the words "lily-livered" mean something different from the meaning that I am aware of? "Coward" and a fearful someone
If that's what you mean, then I will say that bitcoin trading might not be the best option for you. Ordinarily,  you can't make a perfect decision on your own and stand by it; you will literally do anything that someone tells you without even thinking about the outcome. So getting yourself involved in Bitcoin trading with such a mindset might make you incur losses that you might not be aware of, and you will not know what market analysis you will have to follow in order to make the right trading decision.

And holding Bitcoin for a long time requires courage. If you happen to be holding Bitcoin that you have decided to hold for a long period of time, that could be possible for you if you avoid hearing what others have to say or the opinions that they have to share about holding. Today some might tell you to sell and take back your money because it's not safe for you to be holding Bitcoin, and the next day another person will come up with another suggestion, and all of that, in the end, will cost you a waste of money instead of you making a profit.
So if I'm to advise you, I will say you should first work on yourself. You need to take away fear from your mind in order to be able to overcome some fuzz that could result in panic selling. If you can control your fear and be your own decision-maker, then I guess you will be ready to learn other things that will make your trading life easier.

It is not for the fainthearted. It's like going to war without prior preparation and training you're fated to lose and same implies in bitcoin trading, that's why it's advised to first get a thorough knowledge about it before going into trading as your knowledge about trading would embolden and build you to be strategic and avoid/reduce supposed loses that you would have made being a lily-livered.

And also making use of Indicators like RSI and MACD could be helpful to you in the market if you could frame yourself around one or more with which you make your technical analysis giving you a direction about market trends. If you jump into bitcoin trading as a whimp you would end up running series of losses that may blow your account to zero.

To engage in Bitcoin trading you are expected to get some foundational knowledge about the field. You should be conversant with fundamental and technical analysis. It is a risky sector to venture in because the price of bitcoin is unpredictable so you can gain sometimes and other trades might not be favorable. There are risks attached to all businesses in the world but trading risk is higher and the profits are also good and fast. You need to be brave to venture into such a sector. You should be prepared for the worst.

It will also be to your advantage if you won't put all your money into Bitcoin trading. You should invest the sum so that even if you lose all, you would still live a comfortable life. Don't also borrow or sell a valuable asset to invest because bitcoin trading is risky. If you are not a good risk taker, trading might not be your calling.

If possible can you name those experts? Do you really think that the experts are wasting their time on YouTube instead of making money or they just looking for some contents so their videos will get more views.

First of all don't believe in everything they tell and no one is really 100% successful in trading cause the nature of it is highly volatile makes it unpredictable that is why still people are interested in playing with the volatility. Trading is not suitable for someone who doesn't have multiple income sources.

Imo to be a successful crypto trader, you need to have the skill set and a certain temperament to do the job. This isn’t something you are born with, anyone can learn to develop a strong mindset. Trading is a psychological exercise and your emotions can cost you money. It’s not enough to have one without the other, you can have a good knowledge about trading and still lose trades because you’re not confident in your trading plan, and you can also have a strong mindset and lose trades because you do not understand the trading patterns.

First of all, you have to keep the following rule in mind: "Never invest more money than you are willing to lose!"

That said, the question is: do you have that money, that if you lose it, it won't affect your life, your day to day? If yes, you can try something. If not, it is better not to invest.

For example, imagine that someone who is addicted to smoking decides to stop smoking for health reasons and not money. You can take advantage of the money you used to spend on tobacco, to now buy Bitcoin. If you lose, it's like you spent on tobacco, if you win, you'll be all happy!

All sorts of traders have at some point or the other gotten burnt and experienced losses, it is not peculiar to Bitcoin traders but experienced by everyone who trades any currency.

If you trade according to amounts you can easily afford to lose, your emotions would not affect you that much. You would need a bit of control to be able to resist the urge to close trades early but without much stake you would be able to stay on top of that.

The youtube influencers video you watched was right when they're mentioned that every trader has got their finger burned a couple of time before,  and if one must succeed in trading it mean you have to develop a thick skin to be able to withstand the market pressure.


And in developing that thick skin, I don't think someone who is weak in decision-making or allows fear to take over their sense of judgment will make a good trader even though they trade the most secured asset like bitcoin.

Even though I agree that trading isn’t a bed of roses and has its risks, I’m not so trusting of YouTubers who claim to be bitcoin experts and give free financial advice on the internet. In my experience they usually turn out to be fake, their endgame is to sell you on some trading bot, platform or shitcoins that can supposedly help you make millions of dollars

Obviously not. Everything that have high risks are actually not advisable for those who easily faint because they lack the courage and determination for it. However, everything in trading can be learned as well, even turning those cowards into brave ones as long as they are willing to take risk and lose their money at first. That way, they will be more motivated to learn and adjust to the market as well so they can be more suitable in trading.

Cryptocurrency investment general is neither for lily livers nor the greedy. A lily livered person doesn't have the capacity to see his or her investment dip and he ends up losing funds by selling at loss. On the other hand, a greedy person wants to make huge profits from a little invest. They might also get carried away by sweet offers of fake investment and thereby whose aim is the steal your funds

[tabas]

If you've got a weak heart then don't enter into a very highly volatile market which is Bitcoin. You've said that you've got knowledge in forex trading and that means that you've traded there or you've just gained some trading knowledge from there? Just as how the other markets are brutally gonna eat the weak hands and hearts, you should have that bravery and courage upon doing so and as you start. Whether you've got background already on what trading is coming from forex, you should be prepared for the worst everytime if you're going to trade. This is why you see people mainly just holding but even with that, it's still not for the weak heart.

I agree because we invest to make our life easier, not harder. So if we lose our capital with one investment, we should not become homeless. To avoid being homeless after one failed investment, we should never invest all capital we have.

The most important rules of investing

The Challenges of the Investment Rule

If you remember the "Never invest money that you can't afford to lose" rule and never violate it, you shouldn't have to worry about running out of funds during retirement. You'll have the funds to handle something potentially catastrophic that occurs, like job loss or illness. The key is to build up your savings before you start to invest. You shouldn't invest money that you need to meet other responsibilities.

There's a natural human tendency to want to overreach, put in more money than you can afford, and go for a huge payout.This trait tends to become magnified in the face of losses. This is referred to as the "sunk cost fallacy"—the belief that you've invested too much to walk away. Rather than selling in the face of losses, someone might hold on to a stock that's underperforming or, worse, buy more.

[Darker45]

I'd say, no.

If you proceed with Bitcoin trading even if you know that you are emotional and weak, could easily be swayed from objectivity, has very low risk-tolerance, easily panics, and so on, you will lose.

But if you've gone through losses, it would either be that you learn lessons, get better, and toughen up or you will continue to lose until you will finally be discouraged enough that you call it quits.

But, is there any other way to become a good trader? You will probably start fearful and weak; that's normal. But surely you can minimize the risks by doing some research. Also, after studying, by the time you do actual trading, you will start small, of course. You could even start with demo trading. So there are actually preparations to somehow address your concerns as a beginner trader.

Everyone once started with something. Those successful crypto traders you are talking about also did not immediately become such. If you are ready for your trading to suffer losses from time to time, give it a try. Analyze every step, build your strategy, but also don't be stubborn and improve your skills, because nothing is stable. If we talk about the psycho-emotional state, then, of course, you need strong nerves and patience to stop in time and control your greed, a skill that helps a good trader.

There's no lie that everyone trading today have paid the little demands it takes to learn the trading right from the basic through many available trading learning platforms and tips, we can only see the manifestation of the results but we wouldn't be there once they were giving it every of it demanding requirements to learn trading, but the good aspect of it all is that you will discover the an expertism in those that have given their best from what it demands to learn trading.

All soldiers are soldiers but they have their different areas of expertise,  crypto trading is not for the weak hearted, this is like going to a war and using any possible means to survive, you can either be good with a spade or a sword or whatever, just find what suits you the best, trading is a very big income earning stream where there are endless strategy you can use to get your gains but figuring which one is best for you will be your battle.

Trust me, it's not going to be that easy, but if you have make up your mind you will eventually come up with a way, your own personal way of trading, you will spent most time learning and doing practice but if you want the fastest way, you need to find a master and buy premium trading tools.

Today we have tools that tell or signals when to buy and when to sell, they are very handy for those who know too less about trading and it's helpful, just do your own research.

[Razmirraz]

To be successful in a field, you must have knowledge in that field. Fear is definitely not the type of Bitcoin investor, fluctuations that occur every minute require investors to have a mental steel to deal with this situation. When you walk on a double-edged sword, you need capital readiness, mentality and patience when faced with risks that might occur.
The term burnt finger can be interpreted as a risk of loss, there is no guarantee that you will make a profit if you are still afraid of the risk. Big rewards are inseparable from big risks, if you are not ready for the risk, don't invest in Bitcoin.

The people that got burnt got burnt because they underestimated cryptocurrency trading and it has thought them a lesson. Since you have some knowledge of Forex already, you have a good idea of what you are to face and you should not be in a hurry to start Cryptocurrency trading because being in a hurry to start can force mistakes that will cost you all your money. But if you are very good In trading Forex, and you make profit, you can still decide to trade Forex, make profit and invest in Cryptocurrency, you must not trade Cryptocurrency.
