Financial education is one thing. Skill is another. Any fool can deposit money into an account and start trading. But is that the best thing you could be doing? Most gurus out there would have you believe it's that easy. But then why do most traders lose? What they don't tell you is that you have no edge.

And you'll never find one by copying them. You absolutely MUST go out and find where the edge is yourself. Don't fall for the scam of someone trying to sell you "financial education" under the guise of their own greedy intent. You will 100% lose.
What you do with your money is your business. If anyone is out there pushing their "free guide" on you, don't bite, because you will be the loser in the end while they laugh all the way to the bank. And that guru you're following? Can't trade worth a dime. Never developed a profitable system in his life. Even worse, he's trying to tell you that you can hand trade your way to financial freedom.
These are the lowest types of people on the planet. Only out for personal gain, not for yours. Be careful what you listen to. Almost every single so-called expert is a shill that hit a windfall gain at one point or other, and thinks they qualify to teach you how to make money just because they were early to invest in $BTC or something similar. But don't buy the hype.
The best way out of poverty or mediocrity is to find an edge you can use in real life. It's not to learn how to start gambling and call that investing in your future.
Full stop.
