I actually believe that 99% of people are losing in trading. A much better option is to focus on top projects and invest in them. You will earn your money sooner than later.
What do you mean by investing in top projects? ICOs? buying alts and holding? NFTs?
I agree with you that trading is very risky, some sort of gambling IMO (although not as much as 99% of losers...) but hodling is also risky if you choose the wrong project, or simply if the the market behaves the opposite of what you expected in the long term.
Yea you are dam right bro, in as much as trading can be very risky, especially to a newbie that knows nothing on what it entails and how to navigate his or her way around it, but holding can also be very risk if it's the wrong asset, like all this shit coin and most of this alt coin, so apart from Bitcoin investment, all their crypto asset are associated with a very high risk, that's why to me, if you you insist on taking such risk, I would advice you do it with an amount you can afford to lose, just as gambling, so that if things went south, you actually wouldn't be emotional and bothered about it.
Lastly, on my own perspective, I don't think trading is that bad, just that before you engage in trading, it's best you follow the life principle, which is learn first, before trying to earn, because almost all newbies that lost money in trading thinks they can earn without learning how to go about it, which cost them dearly, so it's best to keep off, if you knows nothing about it.
