There is a sense of satisfaction and pride that comes with knowing how to do stuff yourself. Something called self-efficacy. Before I go on I want to believe that what you mean is the regular crypto trade and not P2P. What I can say about trading Bitcoin yourself is that you get better through your wins and losses. It is a learning pathway for you. But when you do it through a friend including copy trading which some may argue is the best, you remain at the beginner trader level for a long time. A total waste of time and resources in my estimation. Trade your Bitcoin yourself through the rigorous process of learning or just hold your Bitcoin.
I totally agree with you on this,but the question now is ?
How about one who actually have zero or no knowledge about the crypto but have an interest on investing so as to enable Him grow more weather?
Instead of just letting them ride it, why not teach them how to drive on their own?
If they are really interested in crypto or Bitcoin they would at least make time to study or understand even the basics in cryptocurrency.
I have some friends before who wants to invest in crypto before, they want me to handle their investment so I guide them on how to buy and sell crypto as well as the trading sites that I use, I also taught them on how to participate airdrops.
