Did crypto affect your studies?

[Dacosta Osei-Tutu]

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.

Great to hear that you have been managing your time well with crypto's and your studies.

I'm encouraging every student to study harder and harder so you can learn more along your way but its also fine that you are involved with crypto trading. I've heard a lot of students became financial after getting involved.

You just need to allocate and spent your time wisely, do your priorities. Though there are great people who left studies because they have believed on what they are doing like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg but its still better to finish your studies guys while HODLING and trading.

[Appiah95]

What you are saying very true. Crypto is very demanding especially when you participate in both trading and bounties . thanks for your little advice

[7jaka7]

Congrats for managing time good enough for crypto and study!
Unfortunately I don't have same experience as you. I started learning about crypto just at the end of the study. I did managed to make all the tests.
In my country you have to make a final Diploma work (a small research with experiments etc. on subject related to your study) and I still haven't finished it after more then a year. But I am now working on it very actively and I hope I will be able to finish it ASAP.

[bitmover]

Cryptocurrencies somehow became my study for some time

You can study trading if you like. There are good sites and books online where you can learn about technical analysis
 This is a useful knowledge.

But I prefer to study about the blockchain, bitcoin, etc. I don't trade, I just hold.

There are good books online and they are very useful. You can begin with mastering bitcoin, which is free on GitHub

Yes it is true, the only thing is time management and commitment on making such time be on what you want to do.

[Determan]

In my opinion, if you want to have good marks and do crypto you will do it. Correct time management is the most important thing in this matter.

[Christinebeauty]

You have said it all. Crypto is much involving and it requires proper time management. It takes discipline to be able to excel in both at the same time.

[christina.arnigo]

Yes, this will affect your studies negatively or positively.  It is good that the students are doing this crypto because they can earn some money for their allowance even for tuition fees. this can be their sideline and help in terms of financial needs. But sometimes when we are getting some income, we are forgetting the reason why we are doing the crypto. Because of the money we are earning from crypto, they forget to study and focus their attention in crypto and give all their time in it. Each students should set their goals in finishing their studies, they should not forget it...Do the crypto to help them and assist them financially.

[Luckyswan]

It’s not! I think th best solution here is to have a time management, Set time and schedule about your priorities.

[LbtalkL]

Good Job mate managing your time wisely, simple things like time management needs to be practice sooner this will benefits us and very useful in our daily lives. Too bad in my college days in previous years I didn't know about crypto I think I could pay for my studies if I knew this sooner. You are lucky you have  the opportunity to learn crypto and earn while studying.

[Xiahouyuan]

The cryptocurrency has no effect on me. I feel that it is easy to do coins every day in my spare time. Even if I need to learn, then I can adjust my schedule!

[Awesomus Maximus]

I can't tell anything in general, but for me learning about crypto, finding time for bounties, and trading on exchanges takes a lot of time. These activities are not the only activities I have in my life. I can hardly keep up and manage everything.

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.

If your time management system is working, please share it with us. What I am interested is for example how many hours a day you have set aside for crypto related activities?

[Crypto Girl]

I hope you guys will realize the value of education above anything else. We know there's a lot of uncertainties here and nothing is permanent so better to prioritize your studies and just do trading once in a while. More likely after you graduated you can do trading as long as you want. But of course, still find a job that will make you grow.
Good for OP for his timetable that he manage everything, I mean it's tough especially when the peer pressure is there and  you've been seeing as kill joy and you still choose to do what's matter. I bet if you really want something, there's no ifs and buts.

[ksupriya94]

Its great to hear that you managed time so efficiently and gave a good result. Its true in any work decipline i necessary and with study its cant be compromised. Always first preference to study  then rest.

[Cheezesus]

When you join bounties and campaigns that's the time when it will consume most of your time. If you have studies the answer is time management. For me crypto didn't affect my studies because I do all my school works in my free time in school. When I got  home I take a little break and start reading and joining campaigns at 8pm up to 11pm.

[nghi2018]

Some students spent more time on computer so they will get bad result. But if you structured a personal timetable and allocated proportional time for my bounty and trading activities,you will be success.

[r1s2g3]

College time is not only for studies but for also for doing extra curricular activities. That means involve in sports, involve in community building , some voluntarily work and work in overall personality development.

If your studies are impacted  then I fairly assume that all extra curricular activities were already stopped. My advice is that stop all this activities that you are trying to earn some little money, instead focus in your personality development and studies.

It will be easier to earn money if you have good knowledge and personality.

[nakamura12]

Only time management is the key to be able to achieved what you want and won't affect your studies or cryptocurrency at all. If it still affect your studies the give more time to studies. I'm sure everyone had vacant time for everything.

[Velkro]

I read a thread where a guy was narrating how he failed 3/5 courses the semester he first started crypto trading.

Excuses, only excuses. People drop studies from various reasons, alcohol, gambling (this case), beign stupid, beign too young to be serious about life etc etc etc
He can say its because of crypto, but if it would be not crypto but good job offer or some other reason he would quit too. Not everyone is destined to beign well educated.

[jak3]

crypto did affect my studies but in a positive way. I became more connected to the internet and I know exactly what to learn and how can I grow myself much faster and all that is possible because of cryptocurrency and all the people(Developers) in it. I did make a lot of stupid decisions to grow myself a lot faster and all those decisions worked as expected. I do not become top in my studies but it is possible for me to be one. Instead of being the topper of my class I choose to utilize this time for developing my skills for my future which is actually the responsibility of collages(Which they are not following)

What you are saying is very true. Joining crypto when I was in school was a positive thing to me. It was a very great milestone in my life. My connection to the internet grew rapidly and I got to know much about this revolutionary technology which is gradually almost every facet of our lives.

[Ferrytale1]

It's advisable to have a strict work-study routine.
There are so many hours in a day, if only you knew how to manage it, and set priorities.

[Xenohider]

The way I see things, motivation to study play the main role in this matter, if you don't want to study, you won't even if you have a lot of free time.

[Alone055]

It should not affect your studies unless you have a hundred accounts in signature campaigns and you are writing posts from all of them everyday, sitting every hour in front of your computer. If that is not the case, you should do fine with both your studies and crypto involvements.
Trading cryptocurrencies does not require you to spend all your time on it. You can simply fix a time for your trades and you do them in that time and dedicate your remaining time to your studies. If you are a panic seller or something like that, it would definitely be difficult for you because even if you are reading a book, your mind would be on the crypto market, thinking where the price might have gone by now.

[Dacosta Osei-Tutu]

The way I see things, motivation to study play the main role in this matter, if you don't want to study, you won't even if you have a lot of free time.

That is very true. The intrinsic motivation should first be there so that one would not be using crypto as excuses for failing in their exams

[Kelvin36]

That's one of my big concerns for joining crypto since you would have to combine your academic work along side your work in crypto but i beleive balance is the key

[bimbie]

That means that you are good in managing your time and you have discipline in yourself,You know how to balance crypto and studies.You are awesome for that,there are people that have to choose one to prioritize because they don't have your skill.

[thinkright]

I think combing any other thing with studies will have an influence and you are solely responsible for the effects being positive or negative. It all boils down to proper time management and priority.

thanks very much, i will apply this idea of yours, and i pray it works. i have been looking for a way to balance both by crypto hunt and my studies and i think i have found an answer to my quest. thanks once again.

[Kakmakr]

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. <Buy/Sell triggers and notification triggers>

What are you studying at the moment? <Crypto related qualifications?> 

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

[aaron_ray]

Well crypto trading affected my studies too but not upto the full extent, I took break of 1 month before my exams but i had habit of checking price movements on the coinmarketcap daily. I would like to know more about your time table & how you manage them???

[hualy2]

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?

[Pinkprint]

I'm still fairly new, but u already have a strict routine. To enable me have enough time for other things, and set my priorities.

[faradik21]

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

[Whenitry]

I also spend a lot of time in trading crypto. And yes, I missed my studies. I do not know if this is OK. Because I'm also depressed when I study

[cescudero95]

It affected me by driving me into finance/economics!

[StellaMakk]

Technology of blockchain requires the ability to work with devices and the Internet.
Besides required to be a socially active and make the right decisions on market or invest.

[Christinebeauty]

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

[lebron]

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..

[RustyBits]

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!   

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

[Rastafarian]

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 Phone 100]

Yes, It does. Crypto give me a lot of new things. I have learnt how to trade, what is blockchain, cryptocurrency. How to secure myself on the internet.

[Dacosta Osei-Tutu]

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.

[Elijah Jackson]

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.

[Theb]

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.

[Hivalley]

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

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.

[T-reigns]

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.

[Dacosta Osei-Tutu]

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.
