Copy trading is something that has been advised against in the forum, although it can be good, and the reasons is because of the chances of becoming depending on it. Some new traders will become lazy to keep learning to trade themselves because they have started making some little profits from copying the trade of another trader who invested time to develop themselves.
I agree with you, crypto traders here should keep learning over the years while copying signals from others, and try to become part of the 1% of traders who manage to be profitable in the long term. And in my opinion, both things are 100% compatible.
