Crypto markets are a bit EASIER to trade imo. Moves are more organic (albeit a bit more volatile) with fewer whipsaws, stop hunts, ect. Machines and algos haven't overrun the crypto markets like they have the legacy markets... yet, but it's probably coming. Anyway, buy-and-hold/dollar-cost-averaging has always been the real winner. If you can't successfully trade bitcoin, then it is highly unlikely that you will successfully trade stocks. Regulation doesn't matter.

If you were talking about Forex, then I would agree with you, but listed stocks....just no. As part of my learning process, I used to paper trade stocks just in order to try out setups n such. Much easier to read, with way better success rate. With stocks, there is also the added advantage of being able to run Fundamental screens over them.

See, the difference between you and me is that while we are both shit tier traders, at least I know it and therefore dance around my weaknesses and focus on my strength. My strength is that I can see where bitcoin is going long term, and your weakness is that you can't.

You are a long term Bitcoin believer. I am not. You get to ride the full way up big massive pumps, I get to avoid big massive drops.

In the long run, i suspect my scepticism of Bitcoin will be proven correct, over your belief in it.
