Do you ever feel like you're overly obsessed with cryptocurrencies or trading/investing in general?
Personally, I'm fairly satisfied with my investments/decisions so far but yet I'm looking for market opportunities most of the time. I think that's mainly because of the fact that majority of my time browsing the internet I watch related content. I'm passionate quite passionate about it.

Over time it kinda makes me feel depressed that I don't make as much as I possibly could or others have better scores (some unhealthy jealousy I guess?), so this "paper-chasing" has become a target itself.

When I want to take a break from all this stuff for let's say a month or week at least then I'm not able to because I'm afraid that I will miss out on something.
On the one hand, I have made investments in projects I believe in so I could leave it for few months even and then back but at the other hand, I'm still not quite sure about my diversification so I keep watching the market.

Can anyone relate?

I wouldn't say obsession because I can still control myself in terms of the activities I do in the cryptocurrency market. Also, once you have invested your time and effort, and most especially your money in the market, it would be hard not to do anything and everything just to help your investment become successful in the end. Also, as more and more negative things are happening in the market, seeing the market and studying everything that could help you at least get some leverage to gain success is still a better move than just sitting around and waiting for the tides to turn.

It's quite addicting but only when you actually make money. Just like gambling.

I think there is a certain level of addiction in cryptocurrency every time we actually connect with it. But this is not only in cryptocurrancy. Every time someone has developed a high spirit in everything he does. I always do it all the time, but this is the best way to change our trading period, say that if we do trading days now, you can change it to a long-term investment like what you do in an ICO project investment.

I'm not obssesed in bitcoin or cryptocurrency as a universal term. In crypto, it is so volatile that makes your money go boom or go poof. Boom, where your money got bigger. Poof, money lost Tongue.

When you trade a day and you make a profit from your trading, I'm sure you will be addicted to trading. I have experienced this stage.
You become addicted if you are experience earning during trading. As long you are earning it is okay and just control the emotions and never being greedy.

THIS is So ME!!. Since I indulge myself in Crypto and trading at large, have had less time to do any other thing. Now I feel I can't go a day without checking updates, even when am sure my investment could be left for weeks if not months without regular check. Now am absorbed in Crypto. I hope I hit my target soon enough to b able able to attend to other pressing issue

yes this is true with investing in bitcoin we also have to always control how the market conditions we cannot just leave, maybe some time can but if we just keep quiet it is dangerous we can lose important information, so we still have to be able to divide the time in this matter there is an activity agenda.

The issue of addiction to cryptocurrency trading and investment is very real and the truth is,  nobody is immune to it.  No matter how long you have spent trading cryptocurrency,  you are always going to be nervous,  expectant and unsure that you have made a right decision!

Over indulging on a thing is bad. This will surely lead to other attitudinal problems. When you over indulge in trading be sure you will have the problem of discipline and revenge trading will be order of the day especially once  a trade is lost. This will lead to loss and at some extreme may lead to depression. Be moderately involved in crypto investment and find a way to balance  your time.

You can say that you are Crypto Enthusiastic and that you need to rest to refresh your mind.
Everything can be done by playing games, gathering with family or exercising to the Gym.

I like the deals I like to invest in bitcoin but it never causes me to lose my mind or make me follow it in a passionate way, I never let my passion go wild resulting from the term addiction

It's natural that you keep checking your investment, it's your investment and you have to worry about it. If you just invest, then it's okay to leave your cryptocurrancy for a while so that it can develop and raise the price. In the process of learning new things and now to trade you have seen a lot of obsessions here and you want to be one of them too. You want to earn an income.

If you can't control your emotion then its hard for you to trade. Addiction on trading is quiet good for me because you have a goal there that needs to accomplish.
it's true because when doing trade work it should be able to control the emotions when the market price has decreased and do not be too ambitious to get profits also when trading

I do not not yet addicted on cryptocurrency trading because I am not a day trader. I do not wanted to look everytime to the chart. I just setting up my target goal and wait till the price pump to the nearest price in my objectives. If you are always glance to the price and having a misbehavior or irrational emotion then there is probability that you are addicted in trading.

FOMO. As a trader you need to figure how to manage this one as it's one of the hype vulnerabilities in the crypto or any trading. This could kill your plan. But I’m all your side about the feeling being addicted not with the missing out but with the idea one crypto advocates.

I also sometimes feel the same way with you, always watching the market movement so that it can make the right choice when the price starts to move, but I think it is not addiction, but the excessive worry of yourself who is afraid to lose by the time you leave it for some time , so you will feel more calm if you can see it every time

Yep, sometimes I spend half of my day looking at the price movement and going on circles thinking if I'm going to dump my coins or not. hehehe. I don't know if its goes or not, but I was able to function normally so I guess I'm not that addicted as others.

Although if I'm in the zone in my trading, I'm in front on my laptop, very busy and animated specially if the coins that I'm eyeing or have bought at a discount suddenly pumps. I guess everyone here knows that kind of feeling.
