This market is a market that is manipulated. We have miners who verify transactions, have additional insider trading floors, ICOs, pump and dump assemblies, sharks and whales, things they do. is to make a profit for themselves rather than anyone else. With a person you do not know, do you think they can withstand heat? There may be people who are really good but no one can say anything, preferably not one.
When you make statements like this, you are doing more harm than good especially for those who are newcomers into the market as statement underscores the importance of hardworking and compensation for it. Its a known unprovable with undeniable fact that the market is being manipulated by some cabals but people who have no connection to any of them still make some decent earnings from trading and other activities in the crypto space. That's is what should be propagated and not words of discouragement.
Second, the cryptocurrency market is not like the stock market, in cryptocurrency we have cryptography, blockchain technology, market psychology, economics, etc., and many other applications can be applied to the field, So when someone says they are expert in the field of cryptocurrency, get them aside.
The crypto is not like the stock market where people needs some level of education or licence from a professional body to operate in. Here, understanding buying and selling is enough to make a decent returns with some understanding of the workings of the market of course.
