Your side hustles? They should feed your main game.
Say you're gunning to be a killer crypto trader. What should you actually be doing with your free time?
First up: dive into human psychology. Markets aren't just charts and numbers—they're people panicking, getting greedy, making dumb calls. Understand that? You've got an edge most traders will never find.
Second: hit the gym hard. Sounds random? It's not. When you're sitting on serious gains, you become a target. Being in shape isn't vanity—it's security. Plus, physical strength builds mental discipline. Trading demands both.
Everything you do should either sharpen your edge or protect what you've built. Otherwise, you're just wasting energy.

The part about psychology is correct; understanding human greed means you've won half the battle. However, the fitness part is a bit ridiculous, what are you trying to prevent?

The psychology trap is indeed top-notch, but those who are really making money are quietly practicing boxing.

Indeed, psychology is much more important than the Candlestick Chart; most people are just played people for suckers by their emotions and don't even realize it.

You're not wrong, but is the gym really worth it... I'm almost blind from staring at the candlesticks every day, where do I find the energy to lift weights, I'm so drained.

Well said, the psychology part really hit me. Half of the losses are caused by being killed by my own greed. Watching others get rich by a hundred times makes me go all in; this is not trading, it's gambling. I need to add something about fitness... A good mindset is worth more than anything else. Every time I squat, I think about what to do if I break the position, which makes me more clear-headed.
