I think this statement is very absolute. I have personally experienced this loss myself—skipping the foundational books and going all-in resulted in a brutal defeat. Looking back now, those basic skills are truly invisible golden fingers; missing even one piece causes the entire bucket to leak. It's the same with those big influencers around me—those who make more money tend to revisit classics, while the newbies just want to find shortcuts. Books won't deceive you.

NGL, skipping the basic reading materials and just trying to trade cryptocurrencies will only lead to heavy losses. This is the real way to pay the IQ tax.

That's right, I just didn't want to bother translating those basic books, and as a result, I kept falling into pitfalls until now.
