No, it wasn't. Most traders actually spending too much in trading especially if the movement is shaky and their main source of income is trading. There's nothing wrong with that. What wrong is if you're doing some moves that could result in losing profit.
Personally, when I started trading, I spent a lot of time online and try to gain as knowledge as possible. I didn't learn trading by reading books, I learn it through actual practice that's why I spent a lot of time on time. I'm a true believer in "Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." And besides, for some who really treat trading as their main source of income then its logical that they will spent lots of time in it.
i'm one who spend too much time for trading. I made so many stupid mistakes because of thinking emotionally instead of logically.
what is your opinion?
It means you do not have yet acquired the necessary skills and approach to trading. Besides, emotions have no place in crypto trading. Just when you panic sell, everything bounces back and you end up buying when the price is already high. When another round of fluctuation comes, you sell with a loss. That's how emotions trouble everything.
Sometimes, it is much better to just buy and hold. I think you better do the same.
For a newbie, I advise that you to not only invest a lot of money, but a lot of time as well. There are no shortcuts in trading, you have to learn by practice so its good that you will put a lot of time on it. Emotions should be in check, you should not be carried away by a simple FUD waves and panic sells. You have to make your own judgement, otherwise you wil make a lot of mistakes that you will regret later. If you don't have time, then yes, just buy and hodl.
