My question is, whenever I trade and make a profit is there always going to be someone who's made a loss or is this an odd way of thinking?

when you (seller) make profit, the other guy (buyer) doesn't always at loss
but this condition is only true if the fresh buyer puts fresh money adding up to capitalization
however that buyer will incur loss if he later sells at a lower price

in an uptrend price (bullish market) there will be more winners, higher cap ~ money inflow
but in a downtrend price (bearish market) there will be much more losers, lower cap ~ money outflow

But when you the hodler, HODL, and encourage everyone to also HODL, everyone wins.

I know someone would ask, "then who loses, there's always a loser". My answer, "the Nocoiners". Cool
