Very true. More newbies in Bitcoin are so disparate to invest without knowing what they are doing and the possible risks. They are thinking to become one day rich or quick rich mindset. But no. Yes sir, you are correct. Knowledge is important to stop crying if whales control the market or if the market dump.
Such mindsets broke many newcomers to this market, the volatile nature of bitcoin lead those uneducated investors to lose
there hard earned money, knowledge is very important for those with no idea of the business that they are working with, the chance
of being scam or being moved by whales is very possible to happen.
So you think that education is the holy grail against losses in the most volatile market of the entire world? I doubt that a lot and it is not only newbies who are losing money. There are also pros as you would probably call them. Bitcoin can't be treated like other investments as it is unregulated. There could be a hurricane of regulation tomorrow, when you wake up. It might have been dumped to oblivion while you are sleeping. It is not that simple as you put it. I would consider myself experienced and yet I made bad trades as well. In my opinion that is quite normal in such a volatile market, volatile in terms of price and in terms of news.
