Polymarket vs. trading - one teaches you, the other is just guessing Been in crypto for a while. Tried Polymarket a few months ago - betting on news, elections, crypto events. Fast results, fun. But after a while I realized: when I win, I can't explain why. When I lose, there's no lesson. Just guessing with extra steps.
Started looking into actual trading. Charts, risk management, all that. Way more complex, but there's one big difference- you get feedback. Bad entry? You see it. You can learn.
The problem- Learning with real money is expensive.
Polmarket is fun. But trading in a simulator actually builds skills. I still use both, but now I know the difference.
Anyone else tried both? Do prediction markets actually teach anything useful?
