It's a bit ironic, considering how many people depend on crypto for financial freedom, but the reality is, crypto is the epitome of uncertainty.
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.
Heck, I can even do trading competitions or dedicated events Personally, I think if you're in crypto you should learn to trade, this month I'm already trying to flip tokens for BGB, in their on chain
event, and that's just one example.
It is fair to assume an important percentage of people who are into Bitcoin and Alternative currencies are traders, but there are also people who are within this ecosystem because they seeking services which are otherwise unavailable for them, Stablecoins are a good example, I have seen people who literally use exchanges as if they were their bank accounts to save their value from inflation of their local currency. That does not have anything to do with trading, but still it provides liquidity to the ecosystem of CEX and it makes all this concept of cryptocurrencies to grow and mature in the eyes of investors.
There are also people who just stake SATs in the long term for them to be able to buy something significant in the future, that is something we can't call trading.
Anyways, I will always advice people doing what you do to be careful and only mess with new alts and projects if they can afford to lose some money located on those. If one wants to gamble there are already hundreds of casinos out there on the internet, we are here to invest.
