If crypto is to affect your studies, then it should be in the positive direction. It should rather broadens your scope of knowledge and increase your knowledge in the blockchain technology and not in the negative way.

I'll advise everyone to adopt good time management techniques, it an essential skill to survive in life not just in Crypto. I think what most students with such excuse lack is time management skills.

I read a thread where a guy was narrating how he failed 3/5 courses the semester he first started crypto trading. I know the crypto community is made up of a very youthful population so most of us here are schooling.
I also started crypto when I was a student and surprisingly i had my best results that semester. This is because that was when I learnt time management.
 Crypto is very demanding, so do studies, and if you fail to blend the two, it is very likely one would affect the other.
In my case, I structured a personal timetable and allocated proportional time for my bounty and trading activities. I ensured discipline in the timetable and this made me successful in both my crypto and studies. I didn't allow the money in crypto divert my attention from my studies.
There is time for everything. After completion, you can use the whole day for crypto if you want. You can also do same and it might help you.
I agree, it is all about time management, If you can't handle your time well you will failed on your studies. I'm studying and doing crypto bounties and trading but doesn't affect my studies. When I need to study for an exam I stop doing crypto trading for a while to focus on my subjects. Then if there is no tasks or exams on school, I can go full time on trading. Its just a matter of time management guys, focus on your priorities.

Combining cryptocurrency and education is not quite so much easy considering the fact that they both are mentally tasking and have to the with the brain as well as time consuming...

If you focus more attention on one, you're definitely bound to suffer in the other one, balancing both of them should remedy the situation
But it isn't so easy to do, making money makes one happy and the thought of it alone has made numerous people fail courses in school due to high concentration on their bounty task and trading requirements

But if one doesn't try to cheat the system and participates in bounties with just one account,and trades with the much he/she can handle, then it's possible to combine them both effectively

This is an old thread but I still have some few new insights on the reasons why he failed. Not all kinds of crypto trading or trading in general can caused that guys grades he might be scalping or doing day trading that is why his time is split on trading as well as his studies. With day trading or scalping seconds and minutes are essential you cannot really do other things without you not focusing on it. There are other trading methods that is well suited for students like me. I mostly do position or swing trading which is much less time consuming compared to what he is doing. I really don't have to watch the prices all day as my style doesn't need me to do so.

My studying is connected with marketing and management so crypto even helps me with it. I have plenty of examples, I can understand some new material through crypto and my study has got much better since I've started. You gotta take profit from everything you do and connect the dots - this is the education.

Everyone has his or her own memory capacity and pace of learning. If you are the type who is a slow learner and so needs to give much attention to your books before you absorb whatever you need to learn, then you need to focus much of your time and attention on your studies and spend less time  doing crypto.

I didn't have the privilege to enjoy time management because I was too much focused to gain more than I could bearly earn. I spent most of my time with bounties and I was nearly affected by my studies.

I didn't even have my first computer (running Windows 3.1) until after I had graduated from college. Then a few months later a friend's father generously gave me an unused 2400 baud modem that he was no longer using. Definitely opened Pandora's Box there!  Grin 

Reading about people working with cryptos while taking college classes makes me feel like an old man.  [Thanks] LOL!

Congrats on achieving your best results just when you had started crypto. Unlike me i didnt get the desired results but fortunately i did not trail too..Now i have mastered time management and one amazing thing about crypto is that, it helps you to have less interested in things that do not matter much..

Crypto can really affect your studies, especially students who do not practice proper time management. Crypto can take much of your time if you do not plan your day

I studied in Barcelona business school.
Our professors enlightened us about blockchain, bitcoin, ways of trading, prospects of blockchain, but it was sketchy data.
I'm still learning a lot by bitcoin talk and cointelegraph and so on

I don't think there is any conflict between cryptocurrency and learning. I think that every stage of life is in learning and competition. The cryptocurrency market allows us to learn more practical knowledge! No?

A good Crypto Trader will not have to spend a lot of time on trading, if he or she knows what they are doing. The day traders might be more involved, but the long-term traders just buy low and sell high and this whole process can be automated, so you should not be spending a lot of time doing this.

What are you studying at the moment?   Huh

I would not advise people that are studying to get involved with Crypto currency day trading, because you must rather focus on your studies.  Roll Eyes
