And another day trader bites the dust

Absolutely right. Trading is about as fair of a game as it gets out there. In the workplace, you can easily have a boss that hates you, or a co-worker that has it in for you. This may very well be no fault of your own, and yet, you have to suffer the consequences. But with trading, it is 100% on you. No boss to impress or customer to brainwash to buy your shit. In some ways, its about as fair and just as its going to get in life since your success or failure is dependent 100% on you.

Agreed, however trading is an unsociable life.
Yeah on ET you can txt chat but the bottom line for the vast majority trading is a solitary endeavour.
A solitary existance is not ideal, you can go mad, turn insane.
With business employment, mostly it involves needing to interact with others face to face which is a good thing.

Garage Day Trader was another of these day gamblers flaunting his great success on youtube & twitter.
He had "a great system" and "only green months". People were saying it was only a matter of time...
Aaaaaaand it's gone :D All of it. He vanished. Every social account wiped out, every video gone of youtube, he just vanished.

Some guys such as Garen Phillips, known for his video "How I learned To Day Trade In A Week" from June 2017 at least left their channel up, he even made a video about blowing up 1 year later, then LITERALLY the next day (seriously) he was up 17% risking his entire account aaaaand it's gone he did not post a video in an entire year but at least left his account up and he ended coming back with new goals of course.

Then you have guys like "In it for the money" a crypto "investor", which is different from day gamblers but not that different, he quit crypto after 2 years, he deleted all his videos about crypto, renamed his channel, but he did leave a video on why he quit and still uploads videos with his new goals.

Most of those "investors" and "day traders" just fade away, like their account.
I always enjoy seeing those guys break their teeth on the floor. The cockier they are, the more they argue, and the happier I am when the inevitable happens :p.
The only day traders that make money are the ones that shoot "lifestyle" videos and sell courses.

No not really. As long as you have strong reserve and keep everything real, solitary existence can give you peace and can be enlightening. Many great thinkers and philosophers and religious leaders reached their epiphany in solitude.

Taiwan is not a country. Be careful of the communist "observers" here. We are being watched...
