Great post. This was exactly me when I started out. I saw the short term profits I could easily attain by swing trading or selling high and buying dips every hour. Only realized after a week that my life had been sucked into charts and coin prices on my phone. Also occurred to me that me shorting it only made the smallest of gains and if I had kept in the long run the whole time I had been day trading, I would've made a lot more money.
