I would not spend too much time on cryptocurrency, I only use part of my spare time to do some bounties and join some airdrops of projects that I trust.

I never would have thought I'd be interested in all this stuff and now I can't seem to get enough of it so I'm really looking forward to working with this community and learning more about it and hopefully will be able to contribute something to it. I've even start writing a couple articles about cryptocurrency, something I never thought I would do - but as I learned more about it and I do more research I get more and more excited about the possibilities and I think I've come to the realization that - I'm addicted to crypto.

I think a few days before this. we follow the coins we buy in stock exchanges. We just  bounty and airdrop campaigns. ToTo make a little more money on a continuous phone basis. I advice; Let's put a limit on ourselves and try to enjoy life.



Crypto Money becomes addictive if you put your whole strength, skills and resources to it. You need to know every detail about it. If you understand how it works, it's purpose. it's function and it's nature, you will be able to understand it's flow. It will only become addictive if you put your whole life to it. It's like gumbling to some, investment to others and livelihood to many. Traditional investment is still good while cyrpto currency investment is for a lifetime.

It's a matter of how much you understand cyrpto currency and live what you know about it ;-)

haha this is an interesting topic. I think you already know the answer when you ask yourself the question. This is a psychological problem for everyone. If you really control yourself then this is completely in control. But do not say anything when the amount is too big that psychology is not stable anymore. Always keep your mind light to control the game

When I first got into crypto I spent many hours watching and refreshing my screen, after a while I realised that now matter how much I watched and refreshed it didn't change a thing. I now check once a day unless the market is moving fast in which case I spend a little more time. It can be very addictive and take your life over if you're not careful.

ya..its addictive. when I started crypto investment I check my portfolio once a day. But now at least 1 time per hour if I'm wake up.
You'll learn and see your portfolio in a bit every few minutes. I've been checking my portfolio every minute and visiting bitcoin price trackers every now and then especially during this dip. To those new investors that are totally crypto addicts now, don't check price trackers now, it's not recommended.

Yes, once you understand it it can be very addictive. It really depends on how you understand it.

I think that what attracted me is not the cryptocurrency, but the profitable space generated by these cryptocurrencies. Its way of making money is very attractive to us!

be careful. I have a friend, he is lazy to work and all bets on the Crypto market, although knowledge is limited. Later, when there was not enough capital, he borrowed and resumed, like a gambling addict. And now no one can contact him.

It certainly can be, but the bear market has probably quelled things somewhat for me.

I have a history of addiction (sober two years now) so unless crypto is consuming and interfering with your normal life, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

It seems that crypto addicts show very similar signs as gambling addicts! So recently you see some treatment center made for cryptocurrency addicts.

Those people most probably already have other problems that are not linked to Crypto currencies. You get people with obsessive compulsive disorders and this can be projected into anything they do. They are not addictive to the technology, because the technology is addictive... but because they have other psychological problems.

Now, let me go check the price again... it has been 10 minutes since I have done that. ^lol^

The exaggerated fluctuations of cryptocurrencies are tempting and people are rushing into the cryptocurrency. In order to earn high spreads, many people do not have cryptocurrency-related knowledge, and most of them lose a lot of money.

It came as no surprise to me, that the people i know who gamble on horses and football etc, ended up coming in to crypto in late november/Early december, when the price of everything was through the roof!

If you're a gambler and sitting on the sidelines watching people make very easy money for doing very little, i totally understand why they got 'sucked in' to crypto. However,sadly, the very same people are the ones who got wrecked on the way down and now only have negativity about crypto. In doing so, giving Bitcoin/crypto a bad name and spreading bad vibes about it.

We don't need out and out gamblers in crypto. We need people to see its potential and future use case.

Every action and every thought, especially connected to desires and passions, that you repeat on a regular basis can become an addiction. So, yes. The crypto money world has a great potential to become addictive. It depends on your attitude. If you let it take over you, you will end up being addicted. If you use it and don't let it use you, I guess you can remain OK in the long run.

Everything depends on how you as a participant will dedicate your daily activities. But anyways i think it can be addicive because you'll always be constantly doing something.

I read a similar post on bitcoin talk about the "Crypto clinic". I think anything can become addictive if not controlled. "Crypto gambling" as I'd like to call it, can be quite addicting.
The high risk and volatile market is appealing to some. It provides an escape from reality as any other addictive substance does.

If we look at Crypto trading it could be equated to gambling due to the fact that your'e banking on something that would increase or decrease your profits in the future.
It can become addictive infact the UK just recently opened up their first 'Crypto Clinic'.

Yes. Cryptocurrency trading can become an addictive place. It is kind of a gamble. And gambling is one of the most addictive disease in the world. You need to be mentally and psychologically strong to not let it overcome you.

I think yes, if that people is on trading it is really addictive especially when you experience to get a profit on it. Sometime they get addicted on joining ICOs when they experienced to get a big profit but always remember that joining ICO is a risky but it is really profitable.

Anything can be addictive if you dont put limits on it. In crypto worls, if you want to day trading, you need to track all of your coins all the time. At least if someone uses stop-loss and define his targets, he can be relief to live his own life in this time too.
