98% of those messing with Bitcoin on the retail side have lost serious money. The market is skewed heavily towards the rich and the well-connected (Faceless billionaires and their algorithms). Regular small, mid, and large-cap stocks are still up for grabs with skilled traders who have been in the game for at least 2+ years. You must get wiped out first or twice to learn how the stock market works!
In our group, we are trading with the Indian Lady who wanted to become a millionaire when penny stock GNS was pumping last year. That ticker moved from .47 to $10 in weeks, and as a newbie, she heard and bought some rumors that 20+ was the target, so he went all, dropping a whopping 30K shares at $8 a share. Ticker moved to 10 and started sliding, and within weeks, it was back to under 5, then 4, 3, 2, 1, and to below .50, and has never moved beyond 2 for almost two years now. Nearly 300K portfolio brought to 10K!
Horror stories on Bitcoin losers are insane, but penny stocks can also slaughter you if you are a rookie!
