I stopped trading. 3 reasons why.

[btc_love]

1) Too much stress.

Yes, I believe you understand me. My mood depended on one or another token value. I couldn't work sleep and eat. I was checking value for 15-20 times per day. I could not live like that any more.

2) Too much time.

Again, when you are checking value for 10-15 times per day it takes a lot of time. I was always tired and exchausted.

3) I started playing blockchain games (not gambling).

It could be called another addiction but I don’t care. I do like it much more. It interesting and funny. It seems like blockchain games take too much time and money. However, it’s not! Trading and bounty take waaaayyyyyy more!


UPD #1

I've noticed a lot of questions about blockchain games. Here is my games list on product hunt https://www.producthunt.com/@house_lama/collections/blockchain-games

UPD #2

There is a good blockchain shooter War Field. it’s 100% not scam so I can send it here. you can read details about this game here (I don’t send direct link to their website not to make them advertisement) https://gameunculus.io/blog/96

many people are caught up in stress like you, and I will experience it, but I have not stopped, maybe you see this is a folly that continues, I only learn a little every time I endure trading, like not expecting too high prices, and not entangled with excessive panic, a little patience to get the right price

[oho]

It is a pity that you got into such a situation! I also did not quite long ago in this market, but this did not happen to me because I chose the HODL strategy and was willing to wait a long time! For an inexperienced person, trading on the exchange is a huge stress with big losses !

[silent17]

you really don't need to check the coin price that much if you are a trader, because you can set up a buy and sell bot for it,
or you can also make long term investments. For you to be stress-free.
Gambling or playing using crypto is a much higher risk than trading, but if you really enjoy it, we are not the one to judge.

[Ulya63]

Yes, too much stress is of course true if with trading you go to a minus of the current, the mood always disappears. You have to sit at a computer all day and watch cryptocurrency courses to earn anything. If there is a bot, it simplifies trading, but sometimes you have to place orders yourself.

I stopped doing trading on my fifth try because I cannot keep up, there's to many time to spend looking at the chart  I am done doing that instead, I focused on bounty campaign, it's more profitable but takes time to really reap the rewards compare to trading it;s much easier.

[aalavandan]

Sure that trading and bounty are taking much more time, because you actually work. I do not know a lot of blockchain games, but of crypto kitties, but I think, that you cannot earn so much coins as by doing bounties or trading.

[Jansaa]

Trading is very attractive, not only need to invest time but must include the effort and the right decision at any time!
But if it is successful, it is a very attractive investment

       Too much time to exert in crypto will make you bored , and tired then it is also very stressful , so must be ready with self motivation to overcome this stressfull work , but because of the huge income then it is worthy .

Lol I have the same experience like you dude but i can control all of my emotion right now. if you are selling your coin when the price is so cheap and then you put a lot of hope to see the price will be dumping even lower.

But what do you mean about blockchain game? did you mean about gambling?

I'm going to continue your list:

4) Only professional traders make deals with a profit

5) Basically principles of technical analysis don't work in crypto

6) Whales control this market

So, once again, it is very difficult to be a trader on cryptomarket.

YES, trading is a constant stress if you do not have a system and an algorithm. You need to have strong nerves for survive.

[garciacarral]

Yes, there is a lot of stress and wasting of time but you know it's pretty ok for business. If you're not ready to be patient then you shouldn't even start.

[NeuroticFish]

When the market is mostly flat with more tendencies to fall than rise, it can be indeed stressful. The risks are bigger and the profit may not be great.
Yes, these are not conditions anybody can continue. But no worries, keep your eyes open, the good days will be back sooner or later.

[TomArayaSlaya]

dude take it easy man just pick few potential coin or ones you have experience on them and hone your skill on it first and also you should learn to endure a little

[siddartha1492]

I have never even tried trading. I guess it is not for minnows anyways!! Plus you need to do so much of research, practice and constant vigil over news and prices. Too much of work.
And like you, I have also find my refuge in crypto games and Dapps. So many new, innovative games are launching these days. These days I'm really into this mainstream quality crypto game called Hash Rush. Do give it a try!

For me the only thing that people and me leave trading is the market condition is too stagnan.
Pumped and dumped by the whales make me stressed out

[sotovid]

And I have no stress, because this is my extra income, I come after work and calmly trade.

[csbsstudent]

I totally agree here. Trading is not so good now. But according to the coming growth I am sure that it will not be ignored by participants at all here.

[tsaroz]

I too accept that my trading volume has decreased a lot as I am a passive trader or can't give a full time looking for the price fluctuations and current market is too risky for moving any sides. But for day traders, there are periodic crest and troughs enabling them to make a profit from day trade.
