I am really interested in this question. And you might be surprised, but I came here not only for money, but on the first place I put the feeling that I can do something important. Cryptocurrency world is not a teaching, medicine or life guard area, but i am a strong believer that every person should do something important for him, his family and friends and for other people as well. So I am thinking of becoming some kind of cryptocurrency consultant or something like that. But I understand that in order to achieve this goal I need to have a perfect portfolio and to become a highly qualified professional myself. I am ready to hard work for years, but i want to know how much time will I need? One year is not enough but what about three or four years? Will it be enough? What do you think? Thank you very much and good luck with your business.
Being a professional depends greatly on the type of study that you are willing to take, I think it can be less than 1 year, if you read the right books, since the books are the ones that educate on a financial level, and create an argument of analysis and opinion .
If you want to be professional, I do not recommend that you go to Online Academies, where they are very expensive and will only teach you indicators, and they will never teach you to understand the market. Do not follow Youtubers or opinions of people if you have not read at least 5 books of recognized speculators of the market, that tell you how the market moves and above all that you learn to interpret the volume, because the best technical analyst is guided by what a triangle tells you, if it goes up or down, which is totally meaningless.
And you can consider yourself totally professional when you handle figures close to or greater than 1M USD, without losing them, that little by little you increase them, at that moment I think you could call yourself a market professional.
