I day traded the markets for years. I though that I could make a living by just #investing wisely. I made life changing amount of money and lost almost all of them, twice.
Now I know it was all about my inexperience, stupidity and gullibility. Only good thing was that it was only my own money, not somebody else's.
Now I can also say that #trading is always #gambling, and even if you put really hard work into it, it's still gambling and you need luck to achieve success. It can also be quite stressful at times.
In #fiat economies like we have in US/Europe it's really hard to even beat the inflation (only few percent of the best traders and institutions with fastest computers and best trading algorithms can beat it).
Then I found what #Bitcoin was good for. Now with Bitcoin I don't need to invest or trade or gamble anything with my money to avoid getting poorer over time.
