Kardec Trader argues most traders chase social media clout instead of building real skill. He compares it to Kobe Bryant's grind in the NBA: early hardship separates those who last from those who quit after quick wins. Few forex traders from 2014-2015 still have credibility today.
Think social media, from what I've seen In the past 10 years, traders care more to look like they're good traders than to be actually good traders. Right? It's like what Kobe Bryant said about NBA. He said before getting to the NBA, it was super, super hard. He's like, once I got into the NBA and everyone that has made it, I looked around me, I'm like, wow, these comfortable. So he's like working harder and out beating them became so much more easier. It's the same thing in our industry. People have one good year, they get a little bit of followers and make some money on the side, they get comfortable and they're not doing the same things that they did in day one. Forex is maybe less than five people that I have seen that were here from 2014, 2015 that are still here where you look at everyone else. It's a cycle. They come in, do some scam, they're out. They come in, they do some scam, they're out. Same cycle. Why? Because they chase this influencer lifestyle, they're chase this quick way of making money, way of milking their audience, and they're not here.
