I didn't get your point why you are saying that 80% accounts are young, I mean what you actually want to say.
Probably he means, that 80% of users here are new registered accounts (in the last 3 months). If these new registered accounts are newbies in the forex industry as well, it will be too risky for them to trade crypto :)

Thank Baldo, yes you are right! Exactly, you got my points.

I think crypto is still worth it for a newbie. If you enter something small like a few hundred $$ and then see it as a purely speculative investment

Worth as much as a gamble at the casino. You are 99% certain to lose your money.

Not worth the effort of opening up a wallet. Don't waste your time.

Hey @Adribaasmet and @BaldoN I am a newbie on this forum but i am not new to the trading world, i think the same case might be with others also.

I think the 80% figure was just a guess. I think what he is trying to say is that most people on these forums don't know what they are talking about!

I avoid trading Crypto. Did it once but yeah it just is a money sucker. ESMA kinda fixed that now anyway.

Surely, there are many users, which are newbies here but not new in the trading sector But if someone is newbie in the both places, should be careful with which instruments he will start trading :)

I didn't say that. What I meant was, if you lose, you lose less than before. When the market goes against you it takes a smaller bite.

Maybe @NotyaBusiness think that restriction to leverage helps not losing the money.

Again! I never said that it 'helps not losing the money.'

I explained my point about that here: https://www.myfxbook.com/community/general/esma-its-implication/1627551,14

Feel free to read it but I made my position and done arguing it. :)

Thanks to ESMA, leverage on crypto is now something like 1:1 Who can afford 1 bitcoin at $8000!

you can go with the brokers who don't fall under the arena of ESMA, if you want to enjoy leverage.

The leverage on cryptos is 2:1.
They are highly volatile, so that leverage makes sense.
You don't have to buy the whole bitcoin, nor do you have to trade bitcoins... You can always trade ETH, LTC, XRP and other coins.
I don't see what the problem is?
