To be a successful investor, you don’t necessarily have the price the risk correctly, you just have to price it better than others.

I imagine someone successfully investing in crypto can read stuff like this fluently.

Anyone "successfully" investing in crypto got in at least 4 years ago or when we the last big run up was and just held in a reputable exchange or in their own wallet that they secured well.

They don't need to understand anything really except how to deposit 5000+ in a reputable exchange. I think this makes up most successful crypto investors.

I am not an advovate for crypto by any means, but this is false. There are some Wall Street level investors out there.

I agree. I just don't think they are the majority. The majority is just dumb holders.
