whoever boasts about his earning (generally speaking not only bitcoin trading related) is always lying. because you will never find someone who is advertising their financial situation to others if there is no benefit in it for them.

Well, we do have proofs there are some who brag about the money they've made and they do in fact have or should we say "they had" that amount of money. Unfortunately, the ones with this kind of proofs are the those getting mugged, robbed or in the worst case killed.
One law in crypto is to keep your wallet secret, including how much is in it, but there will always those who will risk their own life for 100 likes and a moment of social media fame.

No. I wish I'd been less truthful.
All of my own attempts at 'trading' have been a total disaster. I'll bet 90% or more of people here have made a massive balls up of it. Funnily enough we hardly ever hear from these people. I wonder why.

I don't even trade but in all three times, I've sold some BTC this year I did it one day earlier than a small (~5%) pump.
The last time I even waited for 12 hours to somehow get a clue if it's going to happen again...but no luck.
