However this discussion has been address several times by JayJuanGee about the risk in trading but is funny to see that people are always claiming to see a better opportunity in trading without knowing that trading is like an invincible trap that can cut you at the moment you feel that you are already save.

You also made mention that even if someone encounter a problem while trading that it will never affect them, actually are you even listening to what you are saying? Don't you no that there is a high probability of losing everything you have laboured for?, actually I can see that you don't no what you are actually talking about.

So bad, you can't just stop everyone to believing in trading but any member as part of this forum should have learnt all that is needed and why to divert into investing and holding Bitcoin than trading. I see lots of traders who will fund their accounts with some thousands of dollars and within a week they eventually get their account blown to zero success, sometimes they make profits but concerns should be if they have to redirect all what they lost while trading then by a few years of holding must have gotten a good amount of Bitcoin in their portfolio.

The major problem is that, most of this beginners traders are all believing what they see from the internet (mentors) and would likely put every of their funds just to make enough and call it a success but instead they go to nothing because of the stipulated risk involved in trading.

A lot of people I know that started from trading instead of investing in Bitcoin are out of the system now due to their terrible experience. Although some were able to transition from trading to holding when they realized that holding is the best approach to Bitcoin for their level of experience and knowledge. Some also have seen that they would have made more if they had just left their coins in their wallet and not sell them, hence resolve to only buy and hold and not worry about buying low to sell high which is what trading is all about.

Rather than concentrating on trading, it will be better for newbies to start up with investing and holding Bitcoin and those who would want to pursue a career in trading can build their skills and knowledge using paper trading until they have had a hang of it then they start with small capital. But investing is an ongoing process that should continue even when they are trading but discipline have to be applied so that money does not move from the investment into the trading. They can be planned and executed differently for greater efficiency.

You are actually right here, most people didn't get the right information on time, some people venture into trading without knowing the risk attached to it and all it entails, and when they get burnt, they will start looking for who to blame.

Am saying so because I have been there before, in my early days, I started with trading, I buy and hold, then sell anytime their is a price appreciation, at then I thought I have gotten the right formula, but is still feels like am not getting what I really wanted, because selling at every price increments is not giving me the the kind of money I wish for, and in the process i started trading futures, and that was where I got burnt completely, though I stop it after I have incurred a significant losses.

So everything changed when a friend of mine gave me the idea of buying Bitcoin and holding, that was when things changed for good, and when I saw the financial stability and how peaceful it is, I see no need to even try trading again and selling for minimal gains, because right now I am already in a significant gains, because I bought Bitcoin when the price was 22k to 30k, so what's the need selling now for minimal gains when I know that with the potential of Bitcoin, it can do 10x to 20x in like 10 to 20 years time from now, so in essence of what am trying to say is that anyone that have seen or taste how peaceful and easy buying and holding of Bitcoin is, if you have the right knowledge,
you will definitely wouldn't even think of trading again, because it's actually self destruct if you know how dangerous it is and still went ahead with it without having any knowledge of technical and fundamental analysis.

It's not only self destruct, it boils down to more than that. You still get to motivate people looking up to you or other newbies meets you for clarification regarding Bitcoin investment wrongly . With time you must have missed a while lot of people and cause them misfortune in their Bitcoin investment journey. So there's a possibility of destroying others with your improper knowledge

Furthermore, you don't even need to get any technicality and fundamentals of trading since your business is to buy and hold. Sometimes gaining some knowledge that is not in cognisance with our targeted achievements can motivate us wrongly if detailed upon. So it's better to focus on little things that give better results and in this case you can focus on securing your wallets better, increasing your DCA amounts and providing more emergency fund so you can hold your investments for at least 10 years and other considerations that begets proper investment.
