Hello everyone, Today i'd like to share my story.
So in 2017 in sept, I first mined some electroneum coins and they were worth like $200 later, I as a student couldn't afford to buy Bitcoins for trading or holding, So mining did helped me ETN was a good coin, i would mine like 50 a day and it turned 20cents each, I got addicted to crypto and trading but i was scared to trade and lose those 200$ because then i'd have nothing, So from Sept to Nov, i'd just watch graphs and look at coins, Watch videos, try to learn trading and everything and in December i started trading and you guys know what happened at December 2017, But i was prepared so my $200 turned into like $150, still a loss but anyway.
But it went like this and i kept trading and everything, and i was in love with it...... Sadly in my Exams, I failed 3 papers in total 5... Because of Crypto, it takes you away from Real world, So i was disapointed because of it.
Now i trade carelessly without emotions, and i went above $200.. I saw many times and now experience told me its true that trading is 10% skills, 10% luck, 10% patience and 70% emotions....
good luck and enjoy your lives and don't ruin anything.
Edit: I still have high hopes from Crypto and i think this will change my life and i'll be not worrying about Studies later, But like people say "Don't put everything in one Basket" , so always have a backup. Study is my first priority and Bitcoin can be my side struggle and with luck and hard work, i might not have to worry about studies then.
It's not about crypto at all...It's your greed to earn money over studying that failed you in exam. I know you are probably not directly blaming cryptos but I found an essence of negativity in your statement. For me trading is 80% strategy,10% emotion and 10% luck! Buy cheap and sell high is main strategy but there are various ways to execute that. Try to educate yourself in trading and you will understand that emotion means very little in trading. I am a veteran in trading and I have also faced similar kind of downfalls in my life. But when I started educating myself in trading, the picture changed from tip to toe!
