15) At work, you find yourself running into the restroom to hide the fact that you must check quotes, charts, and forum postings, numerous times during the day.

16) Got a sudden urge to run out and buy a larger screened tablet (s) for checking your numerous charts and online data.

17) Get an eerie feeling we are entering a new paradigm of bitcoin "haves and "have-nots".

I used to do this when I was investing in the stock market. Now when my coworkers see my bitcoin/altcoin charts on my computer they think I'm checking my retirement fund.

Not at all!

Changes too quickly for one to be able to say "it's 5k right now". You'd had to check to be sure.

Yup, in 2011 even.

I don't mine, so #1 is out for me.

I've never really had a consistent sleep pattern to start with, so #12 (or #13 depending on which list you look at above) is out too.

Other than that, I think I can check off all the rest of the indicators from my list.
