Government now left no choice to people and people are looking for a lot of side hustles. Many are changing their lives with trading and became financially independent.
As a fully grown adult, you don't even need to depend entirely on the government to be very successful. If the government is not helping matters, you don't have to rely on them.
Government rarely make people rich instead they make people comfortable and sometimes provide the enabling environment for people to prosper. Even when the enabling environment is provided, you still need to work hard to survive. For instance, USA is among the biggest economy in the world but we still have poor people there. This shows that even if the enabling environment is there, the bulk of the work rest with the individuals who still have to know how to utilize the available opportunities.
I believe that anyone in this forum have already known about Bitcoin and is taking their financial future serious through Bitcoin which provide a wonderful opportunity for anyone willing to believe in it well enough to buy and HODL.
About trading, some traders are not only making a living out of it; they also have other things that fetch money. The reason is that in trading, you don't get success from all your invested amount; some times you experience losses, and if you are only depending on the profit from your trades, you might be under some kind of financial pressure.
There are a good number of traders who are trading full time. If you master the skill, you don't need to work. Trading is highly profitable if you are able to master the skill. Some of the richest young guys that I know are actually traders. Many of them only hedge against risk by using their profits from trading to buy Bitcoin as well as stock.
