depends on the person, but for me in crypto, yep

People who knock technical analysis don't usually trade.. they invest... but they usually don't understand the difference. I've been a trader for 15 years... technical analysis only. "Traders" who use fundamental analysis are usually ADD junkies who need their opinions spoon fed to them from someone they "trust" and/or they feed off the false prestige that is associated with the appearance of being able to consume and analyze large quantities of data.
In reality you need a little of both with the balance being more tech for trading more fundies for investing... but those who sling hate usually fit the bill I described above.

15 years! impressive! I do both, I trade and invest, and I couldnt agree more that a combination of both fundamental and TA is the way, and I also do that, I would never go into buying a coin from a project which has no activity on both sides, chart and community and development,,,, is there a way to contact you(some chat or so) besides steemit?
