I tried making a bitcoin trading bot and almost all of the money (about 10 bucks, not no big problem).
My main mistake was using the historical trades instead of the historical offers as a testing dataset.

If you can afford to spare part of your income and invest that for long term buy and hold, that'll work better (ex. ETF).
If you can't spare anything, focusing on leveling up trendy skills, then you can land a better job on the short term.
However if you just want to trade for the fun of it, yes crypto can be simpler than stock, mainly because the API are better. Set up a maximum budget as a safety net and enjoy :)
