Very true, there was a time in crypto when I choose to trade but never made any good profit, Infact some times, I end up buying shitcoins I some how end up holding for a very long time waiting to be in profit before I sell, and sometimes, even after waiting for that long, I still end up selling in a huge loss because the coin or token I bought doesn't look like it will ever rise up again.
After some time, I stopped trading and focused on investing in micro cap coins hoping for some luck to come my way so I can make some huge profit, but then, trading is very good but you have to have a very good knowledge of how it works and you have to have a very good capital to start trading with.
