People in trading just come and go, there will be newcomers or old traders who survive in the crypto trading industry. I don't know who are those in 1% but probably they are those people who are willing to risk and spend more time in trading. In trading failed, not all become successful, if there's a winner there could be a loser and that's how trading will work.
It might be the reason that there are always new beginners in trading that hoping they will earn money and thought that it is easy to trade and gain profit. But the fact, that isn't, it is required skills and strategies before you will become a successful trader and probably those who failed can't able to survive and the choose quitting than to survive.
