Are you new? So stay away from trading.

Actually as a beginner is very unwise to go into trading when you don't have any knowledge about Bitcoin, because there is a big difference between holding and trading, in holding there is no way you can lose your money weather the price falls and increase, your investment is just there but however in times of trading there is a big probability that you could lose everything if you don't no how to trade and perhaps even if you no how to trade you will still make loses because there are some professionals who knows trading very well but still end up losing in most times, let alone a beginner, so my only advice is that as beginner you should focus more on buying and holding because trading is like a gambling were you don't no what the outcome will look like.

Well, that depends on what you hold. If what you hold are premium assets it's easier but more boring to make money simply by buy and hold but if you play to see if you can guess which stock or altcoin is going to make the next x100 you are quite likely to lose your money.

In any case trading is very popular because it is heavily promoted but if the newbies who get into it were aware of the statistics they would forget about it. Over 95% of traders lose their money. The more frequent the trading, if you add leverage or the more inexperienced the trader is, the statistic approaches 100%.

If you take trading for granted you will lose a lot of money because it is not as easy as investing or gambling. Becoming a smart trader takes a lot of practice and can take years. Your feedback will be important to new crypto users.

Absolutely agree with you. Trading is complex, and jumping in without proper experience is risky. It's not a shortcut to success or wealth; in fact, beginners often face more losses than wins. Newcomers should approach trading cautiously, prioritize learning, and start with an amount they are willing to lose.

There is a difference between trading and holding and yes it depends on what you hold but I don't know what premium assets you mean I think you talk about crypto which is mostly used like BTC, ETH, LTC, or any crypto on the top 20 listed on Coinmarketcap/Coingecko. If I'm right then it's not boring holding them is risky you should also know how to hold and protect them from any attacks and you should also know when is the right time to buy.
However, playing them and guessing the.price without knowledge is risky. Traders use some strategy and follow signals to make a profit if you don't know where to enter you will likely lose your profit. So if you are a newbie holding coins is far from losing if you know when was the right time like this upcoming event block halving we know after block halving we will see a price surge not only in Bitcoin but other coins/tokens too.

A beginner need not to trade as all his interests should be geared towards learning how the market works and possibly make some investment then when they start getting familiarize with how the market works then they can actually look for signals that will enable them to know when to trade and when not to trade but however as a beginner, it is advisable to spend so much time in learning rather than rushing to trade as you might just run into too many losses

[Litzki1990]

New traders think trading is very easy and he thinks trading is very easy only seeing some pumping and dumping of candle he buys a particular coin and he thinks maybe he is going to profit very soon. Sometimes traders can make profit by trading in this way but always trading in this way will not bring profit but may lose money. There is a lot to learn about trading before trading. If we are interested in trading without having an idea about trading or without understanding the market well, it will bring bad things for us and our money. Before trading, we must first know enough about trading, understand the market, understand the movement well, and after understanding these things, a trader can profit by trading.

Becoming an expert in trading requires experience though but I won't suggest a beginner to dive into trading without proper knowledge on what they are to trade, remember  your first trade can be a loss not everyone though but there's high probability of you failing,  don't worry as a beginner if you're reading  this learn from your mistakes  and move on with your learning

It is relative. I'm mainly referring to bitcoin, and if I have to include altcoins, I'd certainly prefer Ethereum to an altcoin that has just been created. In the stock market it would be a large cap like JNJ versus more speculative small caps. The returns that a small company with little history or an altcoin can give you can be much higher if you get it right but the risk of losing everything as well, on the other hand, holding bitcoin, Eth, or companies like JNJ you have a safer, although potentially less profitable way to make money.

Profits won't come that easy despite knowing how to trade, understanding the market and seeing how the market moves.
This is just a kind of theory that has not been applied, it will be useful when everything is applied in real time, because sometimes market conditions are unstable and always changing.

A lot of experience will teach you a lot of lessons, so expecting profits at the beginning is too ambitious.
Profits and losses will definitely be equally felt, it's just a matter of how to maximize profits and minimize losses as little as possible.

Everyone is entitled to make trade, but don't even go close to that if you're not sure of knowing what to do there, also, there are times many have assumed trading to be something commo with all manners of coins, you can't trade on a coin you're not well convinced of their performance and hold them for long when you're not sure about them, as a beginner, it's not about making trade first or making money that matters, but acquiring the required knowledge needed for making such trade.

Your subject title is somewhat misleading towards the post that you made.
You are saying to newbies that taking newbies for granted will be an automatic loss for them, but in the title, you sound like you are saying to the newbies to just stay away from trading for no reason.

I mean why don't let the newbies trade? Those expert traders right now started as a newbies. A newbie can still trade. Those who lost their money can still trade. At the end of the day, it will depend on themselves if they will trade or not, and if they can control themselves whenever they're trading or not. Obviously, a newbie can't control himself since he just started trading, but overtime, he will learn it until the time comes that he can do it, and possibly make a profit through it.

Sorry, I focused on your title because it's misleading, but what you said in your post is true. Don't take trading for granted, and being profitable in trading takes years, and it takes a lot of money as well.

Most noobs would really be seeing trading would really be the easiest thing on making money online, until that reality would be slapping out their faces on whats the real deal.
They wont really be able to learn up things until they would really be experiencing those unfortunate conditions. Trading isnt bad as long you are really that
wary about its risks involved and if you are really that willing to learn up along the way basing up on the things that you are engaging with.
You cant make yourself that being pro or good in just a single day, it do really just happen in dreams.

They may be influenced by other people who told them about earning easy profits from crypto trading/investment. And those beginners expect to get the same luck as them, they don't know that there is no instant profits in crypto.

You are right @alltalk, most new traders have misconception about trading because of stories they might have heard from their friends or some content they read on the internet or video that they watch. Some people thinks that trading is very easy, so they just jump into into without learning the basics and also developing some skills for themselves that will help them to make profit.

This is not applicable only in cryptocurrency trading, it's also happens in cryptocurrency investment. For instance since last year that bitcoin has been within the range of $15,000 many people bought as of then and some people started to use the DCA method to buy Bitcoin till date. If the bull run eventually starts, there will be so much hype in the social media and people will be testifying how they eventually became millionaires through bitcoin investment. It is this type of testimonies that misleads the new commers in the industry and they would think that the success was sudden and miraculous. It is this type of hype that propels them to jump into the market at the wrong time thereby making bitcoin to dump on them. This this something is applicable in cryptocurrency trading, those who say about their testimonies online do not actually tell them how much they lose in trading. This is one of the misconceptions in the.

Indeed it is really misleading. Who should stay from trading? A person who is new to crypto, or new on the forum? Or a very young person that turned 18 recently?

Regarding the first post - it is even more complicated to understand OP idea. How come someone become good at trading, if it takes a lot of time to become and expert of it, when it is advised to stay away from it. Trade but not trade? Impossible to learn to ride a bicycle without riding it.

There is a lot of good return in trading if you’ve understood how it works. For those that want to make a lot of money in crypto, learning the basics of trading is important to them if they are not of the people that can’t wait for the long term before they can make money from it. Anything that is worthy of making money from requires sacrifice and hardwork. You just can’t make it overnight immediately after joining crypto. It has to take a series of steps to build yourself and become better in the process. Trading is not for beginners and any beginner that is looking to make quick money from crypto should not join trading as a start, it will only make them lose their money and hate crypto for life.
