anybody who stopped trading during the past 2 years and wants to start again this year must not do it and should stay away from trading. because someone who can not make profit from all market conditions is not a trader, they are gamblers who rely on constant pumps to make profit and since that is not possible they should not risk their money or they will end up losing their money again and again until they are broke.
Eh? A bit disagree with stopping one, I feel like not able to make profit in the hard condition doesn't mean you shouldn't take the chance to make profit from 'easy' condition. I mean, not everyone can learn trading easily, for some of them might take years to make profit from a specific condition and during the way they may see the market condition changes.
if they are "learning" and analyzing their mistakes in the past and not just moving past them then you are correct. but that is not the case with 99% of those who are trading in any market. if you are in that 1% then by all means keep it up otherwise the rest are only losing money.
and the problem with what you call "easy conditions" is that they all end up feeling like an expert trader just because they made a couple of profitable trades from their "bets". and someone who feels he is an expert is not going to stay away when shit hits the fan and they start dumping altcoins. instead they keep on bag holding until they are in something like 80% to 95% loss. it doesn't stop there either. they still won't accept it was their own fault, instead they start blaming the market, exchanges and whales for manipulation.
