Regarding the point of view, yes I really admit that most beginners or people who do not know about what and how trading actually is, they think that this is an easy alternative to earn money, I do not know what the reason behind this point of view is but I am sure that the success that is often shown by successful traders often creates the wrong point of view, meaning people only see trading from the profit side as they see from the success of others and indirectly this is also the reason why there are always some beginners who end up just wasting their money and time when they try to jump into this trading world.
On the other hand, of course, getting profit for a beginner is still possible, but of course the losses will be greater than the profits because after all their knowledge and skills are still very little and this is the reason why a trader is required to never give up on learning.
Actually you already mentioned why so many people consider trading as an alternative way to make quick profits, I just want to add to that.
The profits that are always shown by some people, especially influencers make people who don't know anything think it's an easy way, on the other hand they also don't show how their process is and what they have lost during trading. Because I'm sure at the beginning they also got a lot of losses.
If they also highlight how they struggle and what they have lost during learning, then I'm sure it will minimize people who think wrongly about trading.
