Some even go as far as getting loans , borrowing from friends so they could trade, or invest in some altcoins..
The same apply to other things like sports betting, gambling and all of them.
I once did that. I borrowed from a friend to trade FX and in less than a week the whole money went down. My friend understood my plight when he found out what happened and didn't bother me about it. Years later when I was able to repay him, he said he didn't want it anymore but I insisted he took the money. He reluctantly accepted half of it when he noticed my persistence.
Looking back now, I wouldn't do such a thoughtless thing. I rather save up the little I can to start trading. Back then I thought small capital couldn't trade and got successful. That's not it. I've had situations where I funded with less than $30 in the same FX I felt anything less than $200 wasn't sustainable and still made something out of it.
Even myself, I also did taking a loan before and that was my biggest mistake in trading. I never knew until I lose in trading and realized that trading becomes more risky and we get more pressured using borrowed funds. And with that, we lost our patience and focus on trading, because all we think are the instant profits we can gain from trading, but in reality it's actually hard to gain profits from trading most especially for greedy traders.
