Ever since I noticed that I lost my early mined BTC, I can't keep my eyes off the market. Back then I remember to be totally blown away by the whitepaper and the community itself. And I was pretty confident about it too! So I started mining on my freshly set-up Gaming PC.
It was really fun. REEEEEAALLLYYY fun, I didn't sleep. The flame didn't want to go extinct.
The moment, when I started talking about this in the real world, and even making a school-report about it in my class(actually twice), the moment I lost confidence, came along. My interest dropped completely to bottom. Too bad because it could have paid out and also it's just a fun Community to hang around. I've never been interested in Social-media in general. But when YOU find YOUR Community it keeps you going. Definitely. And I guess my "interest" now has shifted to the investment side. Specially the crypto market hooks me. And now the stock market too, since I've found 
So listening to others may be a part of everything. And it is, because we are in constant communication. If it's passive or active. And that's good right? But doing what your gut tells you and trying out what you burn for is the real thing. Doing what you feel like makes you wake up early, hustle trough the whole day, fall asleep late and dream about it. The dreaming comes all alone. The doing doesn't. And "doing" doesn't stand alone with thinking. It needs to be combined in action. Like real action. Putting skin in the game. The more often I put and take out money out of BTC the better my price prediction becomes. The better I can sense the market and overcome pure emotions. The more I do, the faster I am able to decide and do. The Idle time is the worst. It is the time of overthinking and doubting my own thoughts. And it is the time where I think: nothing is happening.
And often I mix up time-off, and being in Idle, stand-by time. These two are a huge thing. Since time-off is a great thing, hence even a great tool, the other is a burden.
What I've always been interested in is building a foundation. For example building a house or a kitchen, doing art or whatsoever is not spending, it is just exchanging money into something real. Spending is buying things that are dissapearing, breaking too quick or losing (market-)value.
And the confusion, the distraction lays in each corner. Buying cheap, small things left and right makes it hard to take that money and do something useful. Build a portfolio and build physical. Building that's we are made for. Worshiping penny's equally as bucks is so crucial. I noticed that the first time that I started earning more money than I needed. I worked a lot, spent a lot. Not a sustained way, I noticed quickly after I decided to study. Now I have way less money, yet I build up a bigger portfolio and am able to do more vacation. Okay, the vacation is relative to what I had, to what I have. But it's still existing. So nothing less. So once I'll start earning money again, I'll now be way better educated in USING the money then before! That's great. That give me a huge advantage from where I was before
Things appear by action, great things appear by time, and greater things appear by reflection.
