i agree that some people don't like and think that it is stupid and a waste of time and money,
People can only see trading crypto as a waste of time and money if the trader as their friend is not living up to financial expectation and standard. If you take up your financial responsibility, solve financial problems and live a good and comfortable life, then whatever you do that brings the money and comfort is worth. If someone is not making money from trading, then people around won't value trading.
Yes, very dangerous, people think we have a lot of money. Robbers are dangerous in my place, A lot of people got killed because of money. Some traders even hide their real idedntity in social media.
Yes, this is the typical fear of a trader who knows how to suck the market. You make money all the time and easily. This will give you an edge above day jobs, you live a very comfortable life and of course, people might start thinking of robbing or harming you.
I am just responding that i trade forex now. I learned to shut up about crypto on the last bull market when i realized that this will paint a target on my back in the future.
The reason it is not wise to brag about it because you are directly involved in currency that people are waking up early and coming back late and hustling for.
