Trading has always been something that people viewed as difficult, at least that's what I thought when I started, but I like the fact that I see a lot more people doing both now.
I don't have a specific number but in the little things you can have an idea of how much more people are into trading now. I remember seeing the post about the amount of teams that registered for the KCGI trading
event, and all I could think of is how impressive it is that over 1500 teams each team consisting of different traders have signed up for something like that.
I might be making it more than it is, because I'm a big fan of trading in general, but I'm really glad trading is becoming more and more accessible.
Considering the volume on one exchange, there's really a lot of traders out there and that's only for crypto, what more on stocks which was already here since 1600's or late 1700's so I wouldn't surprise. It's true that many people are into trading now considering how easy to dive into trading unlike stocks before that you need a broker or something like that (not really familiar with stocks trading) but now you can do it on your phone and you can trade on whatever amount you have.
