Yes, it is, especially if a newbie starts to deal with it. You need to be a very experienced person for day trading. The risk to lose most of your money here is too high. Long-term trading is better.
Do you think anything in life is easy for a newbie? Everything needs experience and trading is no different from that. People who are daily traders have been doing this for years maybe not in crypto but in other markets as well before stepping here. There is no substitute to hard work and doing your own analysis on the market. That was you wont get biased decisions on different coins from paid promoters/shills.
There is always a risk of losing money. Now you have to decide what to do - whether to take the risk or not. Remember that higher the risk more the rewards.
