Crypto has reached the point where it's not as volatile as before, it's not an epitome of uncertainty no more, back then you're not so sure if crypto can hold on and continue growing in market capital, but right now it's as clear as crystal that BTC will be here for long.
Very few things can be counted on, and to be fair it's part of the thrill of it, before I started to master FA and TA, I was practically gambling. The good thing is, I stuck with it and things are a lot more stable now. I still invest in projects when I can, but I mostly trade and flip crypto whatever the trend is.
Even if you do the same thing to stock or forex market without proper FA and TA knowledge you'd be gambling as well, it's all the same speculative market dude.
If you're reading without TA, then you're gambling practically no two ways about it!. Even in terms of trading memecoin like OP stated, they're onchain analysis to do, FA routine checks too.. no of holders, market sentiment, social media sentiments those kinda stuff!. Now there Ai tools assisting if you know what you're doing. Just like this meme useless, I had GetAgent do a run for me and made my decision and here's this result.
