For me it helps to have a project. I learned SciKit in order to analyze trading data. I was focusing on crypto but there’s lots of trading data available in general. I didn’t make any money or anything but I learned some basic techniques, etc.
(FWIW I’m crypto-neutral depending on the topic and anti-“AI” because it doesn’t exist.)

Ha ha I got into genetic algorithms for the same reason, market prediction. Ended up exactly at zero in terms of net gains and losses - if you don’t count commissions, anyway. :(
