During a bull run or bear market; it is easy for newbies to make more money. In fact newbies make more money during the bull run than long term trader, the core problem is that newbies tend to lose those profits back to the market when the bear struck and the long term traders keep making their profits all year round.
You have to understand in reality that you cannot be consistently profitable except you are disciplined and glue to your rules.
The truth is, you know the right thing to do as regards crypto currency; just do it.
It's harder for newbies to earn at bull runs. Their thinking is all about the pricing and that's something they should change because if buying at the low price can't be done by them, thinking that it's still a high price to enter, they won't do it.
And once there's the peak that they've seen, that will be the time for them to buy, and then the correction comes. I agree that it's still the discipline that matters most, bears or bulls, if you have it, you can keep it up with the patience that you apply for your decisions.
