According to what I have seen in my country, mentors can charge you huge amount of money. I have a friend that wanted to know how to trade like 5 years ago, the mentor-to-be told him to bring about $285. That is not a small amount of money in my country. You will be surprised that the person that wants to learn how to trade will have not more than $100 for the trading. So what is he going to do if he needs a mentor? The money discouraged some people not because they see it as waste of money but because they do not have the money to pay the mentor.
I think this factor is what discourages newbies from wanting to engage in trading basically.
When people have an intention fo start trading,most of them or majourity have not much knoledge about what the crypto space is all about.They need a mentor right?But the prices this mentors offer is so much to discourage a newbie who is still trying to find his way into the crypto space from withdrawing himself or herself.
And no matter how much books or pdfs you read,it still won't be the same i.e the same knowledge you'd get when a mentor teaches and put you through.
Even though despite all this,i think if you really want something,you should be alot determined.The prices shouldn't literally scare you off,i mean,if you really want to learn,you have to sacrifice something right?
So save up comrade,it's like a sacrifice you're making for the future rather than just putting your investments without fully being equipped of the knoledge of knowing what to do and what not to do.
I think mentors are best for newbies.Dont let the price scare you off.This are sacrifices you make.
