I don't really know who these top 1% traders are but in my opinion, these should be a collection of the whales and the crypto investment funds (venture capital funds). I just assumed this up before these guys can make so much by just executing 2-3 trades monthly and if they do it right, they end up with good amounts of profits due to the fact that they use a truckload of funds to trade compared to the average trader who is just started out with $200 - $1000.
The reason why a lot of trades come short in the long run is because a lot of them think crypto is just a means to get rich quick and are impatient to see their plans and trades play out.
Not at all actually. All the big guys and whales are just regular humans like all of us - in fact recently they OUTPERFORM the common retain traders
