the leveraging is a scary concept when on your own

Think about it, yes. Will never act on it.

I think about the first half of the question plenty

I day trade crypto because I'm WFH. Easiest 1-3k extra per week.

I do a little day trading on the side. Building up my skills slowly as I continue to study and learn more about it.

I guess seeing people have success doing it has me wondering why I couldn’t be successful doing it as well. Gonna start off with a small amount and see what kind of damage I can do over the next few months. Hoping I can learn enough by end of year to the point where I’m making enough $$ to consider quitting. But let’s see 🙂

Irrespective of good or bad , trading is zero sum game. I am trying to start as swing trader before going full time a day trader

If you think trading is a ‘zero sum game’ you have no idea how any of this works 😂
