Learning to trade is the most important thing, it doesn't have to be in class or have a mentor but just learn independently, especially now there is so much information that we can learn, the point is to learn. Because trading is not only difficult, but very very difficult. it takes years to learn technical analysis, risk and reward ratio, good money management, controlling emotions and greed.
Why is learning to trade the most important thing?, why go through so much learning and critical thinking just to know trading when you can even use those moment to invest on Bitcoin, however like you explain, it takes years of learning technical analysis of Bitcoin, so let's say the number of years that will take to really understand it is 4 years, so this means that you have not achieved any Bitcoin in this number of years, so perhaps you can imagine the number of Bitcoin you would have accumulated within that four years if you had chosen to invest onBitcoin instead because if for instance you are using $30 weekly to invest on Bitcoin you would realize that in that 5years you would accumulated Bitcoin worth up to $7,826.79 instead of learning something that would still make you to lose on the process.
