I don't know if such topic already exists, but since this is my first thread here on altcointalk forum, I will like to make this as a warning and a reminder to all newbies, don't go into cryptocurrency trading simply because you see someone close to you making profits from trading.
Going into trading without adequate knowledge will increase your chances of losing your money' by 10x because at that stage, you are prone to emotions a d greed, so wait until you increase in knowledge and rank before venturing into trading to safe yourself from possible unrecoverable loses.
For me, I also think I really agree with this statement. In fact, this has probably already been discussed in several discussions. However, it doesn't matter because many people still ignore something as basic as this.
Usually, newbies enter the world of crypto because of several things, one of which is because they are exposed to quite a lot of hype or news in the media. And in the end they are on this forum. Unfortunately, not all newbies really understand what to do in the beginning. That's why, usually, they will also follow along with influencers or from several sources without studying it first. Well, that's a shame, it's just going along with it.
We know very well that many traders are successful in crypto, and they also often share their experiences and earnings. Well, this is where newbies are tempted to do the same thing for trading with high hopes of achieving high profits. but unfortunately they don't understand that trading is very high risk. So yes, just carelessly, the fall becomes like gambling. Instead of making a profit, it's a loss.
And I agree that the most recommended thing for newbies at the start of a career in crypto is, well, it's better to just invest in Bitcoin. This still has risks but at least it is less risky than jumping straight into the world of crypto trading. So, while holding, newbies can really start learning about trading, strategy, analysis, and so on. And this definitely needs a process, it really needs a process.
