My sole motivation when I trade crypto is always the same - to profit. Also I certainly enjoy the actual activity, but profit is the main motivation.
When we speak about motivation, there are a lot of things that motivates someone, but when it comes to crypto currencies, investment and trading, the fact remains that I can get to work at anytime of the day and at anywhere in time. Crypto currency trading or any form of participation that pays is motivating to me. I don't need to keep to time as per when to sleep and when to wake up to hurry for work, or to pay obeisances to a boss. The motivation I get from crypto currency is the decentralized nature of the system, and that makes it fun.
