Out of all you have written which I don't seem to agree with, this line quoted above caught my attention more. Well I initially thought the body of your topic would be concentrated in investing instead it felt like you were speaking about trading.

Back to your statement, the market if studied closely will make you understand that, money moves from the inexperienced to the experienced. Those trading because they have the skills and luck been in their side, not just those gambling because they have heard money can been made in the market and they want it quick.

The market only takes money form you when you're ignorant, have refused to learn form others mistakes and history. Take the crypto market as example, we have three stages, bear, accumulating stages and bull stages. Understanding this will help you make your decision on what to do and not just blindly putting in capital into the market and waiting to be rich all of a sudden.
