The best period of my life was the crypto bull market of 2017. I had prior bought Monero at 5 dollar, Ethereum at 40 and Ripple 0.30.
The years before the bull market i was still searching for a purpose in life and kind of lost in my early twenties. Then boom it started to rain that life changing money out of heaven.
It's not even about the materialistic aspect for me. I want to prove to myself that i can do it as a challenge. I see money as a recognition because it's a way to measure success.
Trying to earn a good living with trading is one of the most difficult things because so many systems are trash. Takes a while to figure all things out. Shitloads of money and time wasted. Because hard truth is that most new traders lose money. It can take years before you're starting to figure things out.
But just for that reason i want it more. Specialisation is always "difficult'. Otherwise it wouldn't be a specialisation but general knowledge. Things that are easy don't earn a good income otherwise everybody would be doing it and then the economics make it not profitable anymore.
