I'm new to the idea of bitcoin trading in general, and I was wondering how people actually get into it? It sounds like a lot of people have some sort of background in economics or finance, or work in trading in their day jobs and use btc trading as a sideline, are there a lot of people like this? Do people learn by losing money and then figuring out where they went wrong and correcting it?
I'm interested to hear people's stories.
no you don't need a background in economics or finance, that will help you greatly though, but it is not necessary to become successful because that is something that you can gain along the way.
i have started from a small amount and just playing around with trading for a while and then over time as i were losing money and earning a little profit (more loss) i started learning more about how trading works and learned about economics and all those technical stuff and analysis which helped me a lot.
