Trading is not like an investment that, with little knowledge and understanding, a person can eventually into, and that's why so many people are scared of eventually into trading. There's no way a person can introduce himself without a little knowledge about trading. They said that practice makes perfect, so a beginner deserves so much learning about the trading aspect in order to achieve his goals in the future.
Many people are scared of trading all because of what some set of people are saying bad about it: that trading involves serious risk, which I know is true.but the truth that is there is not because people are afraid to search for proper knowledge about trading. Anyone is aware that anything someone will do and wants to be successful in this life like others must first search for proper knowledge. So, I believe that discouragement from some set of people are what are putting fear in people who have the ambition to be good traders.
What I want some set of people to understand is that trading doesn't work for you doesn't mean it can't work for others. What is necessary about trading is that someone must be knowledgeable before they can be a good trader. Even in investment, there are some people who do lose their crypto investments due to a lack of proper knowledge toward security.
I agree with you that just because others can't make money from trading doesn't mean we and the rest can too. Experience it yourself to get the most accurate answer instead of listening to others.
But you need to admit with me that between trading and long-term investing, trading is a lot more complicated and so far not too many people have been successful with this option. We all know that the market is very volatile, especially in the short term, and almost impossible to predict, so even with good knowledge...we cannot guarantee that we can become become a good trader.
Another proof is that we already have many stories about people getting rich by investing but have there been any stories about someone getting rich by trading cryptocurrencies? Not to mention trading is riskier than long-term investing and that may be the reason why people are afraid of trading.
