@CryptoNurse: Ok look, I thought you want to trade. Everything that has a bid and an offer, no matter how shitty it is supposed to be, can be traded. It's up to you to figure out if and how often an asset is mispriced compared to other assets, the past or it's perception of value.
Also it's up to you to figure out how to mitigate credit risk, counterparty risk and how to peg your account to your home currency, so that your not flat broke if BTC goes to zero.
You can compete with the smartest guys in the field in trading stuff like ZN for a tick or you can use crypto as your learning playground were you can start out with 50$, enjoy a direct connection to the exchange for free, colocation is 200$ instead of 20k$, get market data and charts for free and trade against people who are as new to the game as you...plus a couple of low level HFT guys.
You will lose money for a looooong time until you either get it or you give up. It's your decision, if you want to spend thousands on the way for market data, trading platforms and losses that are too big for your account or if you want to learn on a market that's accessible for zero fees, involves zero paperwork and is mispriced 90% of the time.
Delete vocabulary like " liquidity was good for a market", "institutional investment is important" or "predictions" from your brain...truisms that you have picked up somewere on your journey which are not verified by yourself.
Don't predict, trade. If you can trade at prices that favour you, why would you want institutional competition?
Why would you base your decision wether you want to trade an asset or not on the opinion or actions of other people? Why would it be important to you that JPM or any other Wallstreet firm is involved? Can't you just go out for yourself and verify if a market is good or do you need to be spoonfed?
I personally don't care wether you trade this stuff or not. In my opinion it doesn't make any sense for accounts below 1m USD to trade anything else but crypto, but that's just my opinion.
This is not sarcasm, this is not bashing. This is the reality of trading. You are out there alone, nobody will help you except when you pay. It is your job to sit down, work your way through the BS and find an edge for you. If you do it like everyone does it, you wont make a dime. If you wait for others to verify your edge, you will cash in the leftovers.
You wanted mentoring? Take this post as free advice. This is probably the hardest thing you've ever done in your life and you should not expect anybody to hold your hand on your journey. So better make it as easy as possible for you.
I still LMAO when I hear people advocating FX to beginners...
I mean, Blockchain is such a technology, bigger than the internet itself.
