Totally get where you're coming from! Well if what you're aiming for is independent trading, trusting your own instincts and strategies in this ever-changing crypto and forex scene makes total sense. The market's wild swings can be hard to predict. Trading is also one of the hardest profession in the world. Learning from losses and evolving as a trader is the real deal. And you're spot on, those copy traders might not always be the gurus they claim to be. You're not learning when you're just copying. But if you just want to make money with the person's analysis you trust, then go for it.
It is the only way to trade for me, I would never consider any other method to make money and I understand that some people may consider it as an option but for me it will never be a valid option. I think it should be important to make as much difference in crypto to yourself than any other person.
If you trust yourself and improve yourself and just give time to yourself as well then eventually you are going to be something good. That doesn't mean that we are not going to end up with a bad result, it should be important to remember that we are going to make some profit with it if we keep giving yourself to studying how to trade. If we have no idea, we are going to be just trusting others and that will end up with a loss.
