I agree with you, it is not enough to just gain knowledge but to use that knowledge skillfully through the right strategy. Trading is a place where if you don't do everything right, you will definitely lose, trading is much harder to do in reality than to watch. Those who learn consistently and gain new experiences and lessons from every loss, are the ones who can eventually become skilled and successful traders.
Skilled and successful traders are traders who have indeed been forged with various experiences when they are in the market because they must have felt losses and also been made to wait for months without getting any profit because the crypto assets they bought have not increased in price. So that such things have become an experience for them and can make their mentality strong enough in the future, because patience after having more knowledge and strategies must also be in a trader. Because being successful always requires a process and more maximum effort without complaining with various reasons.
You are right, there is a significant number of people in this category in the crypto market. They have held onto their capital for years and have not taken the risk of selling at a loss. They have chosen alternative and relatively reliable coins and continue to accumulation. Among them are investors who continue to deposit more and strive to reduce the UP of the purchased coins. I think if your capital is stuck in the crypto market, it would be a good idea to buy that coins to reduce the amount of loss because the idea of selling at a loss makes you admit defeat to the market situation.
