It's largely considered to be almost a necessity to pay for some kind of education if you are planning on becoming a stock trader. 
How many people have paid for some kind of trading education, either focusing in stock trading or in crypto trading.
Do you think it's helped you?
What was your experience through trading education either paid or unpaid?

i would never pay for trading education or signals. there's too much good information out there that's completely free. starting with this:

one of the best places to start learning technical analysis is babypips. i recommend starting here: https://www.babypips.com/learn/forex

yes, it's geared towards forex trading, but TA is applicable to all markets including cryptocurrency. the first couple sections are introductory and mostly forex-related. i would skip to "course 3: elementary" and go from there.

for a beginner, i'd definitely emphasize studying support and resistance, moving average analysis, oscillators and divergences. this should give you a good base to work from.

i've learned a lot from the chat on tradingview, following consistent traders on twitter, and even from the speculation board on this forum. i've never heard anything positive about any paid services and i'm not gonna start anytime soon. if the "traders" offering paid services were any good, they'd be stacking trading profits rather than selling stuff to naive traders.
