We are opposite since mostly the people i know are they want to trade but they dont have knowledge and also they know the risk of lossing their money. Some of my friends tried since they thought it was easy which the end is they lose their money. There are also kind of people that want passive income which holding or like investing only but it has also high risk this means that people have their own preference whether what is that it has still has a risk and we should respect that.
Everyone's preferences will of course be different. Like your friend who lost money due to his ignorance about the risks of trading in cryptocurrencies and has no trading knowledge.
Trading knowledge is very important, because trading is not just buying cheap and selling high prices. It looks simple but behind it all there are many risks and pressures that will occur.
Trading is not meant for everyone, but everyone can trade without knowledge or using trading knowledge.
without knowledge it will be very risky because trading guesswork and trading with knowledge will certainly be better because you know what to do and know the limits.
