Over the years, I’ve come to realize what the usual profile of retail looks like - especially the type that stays in crypto for years but never really makes it or learns anything...

They are almost unmistakably defined by three traits:
🔸 Impatience - they want profits, and they want them now.
🔸 Stubbornness - they claim they want to learn, but their natural reaction is to resist change and defend their existing beliefs.
🔸Lack of basic statistical thinking - ZERO understanding of probabilities, variance, or risk.
