TL;DR

97% of retail crypto traders lose money within three months due to four structural problems: platform fees that drain capital (1% vs 0.1%), information asymmetry (alpha callers front-run their own calls), emotional override (84% make FOMO-driven decisions), and unverifiable PnL (screenshot fraud is standard practice).
