Bitcoin Forum

Since about January 2014 I didn't find myself doing this.
It's just a natural impulse, I don't do it consciously, and I'm wondering if deep down my brain is finally hopeful again.

Take that for speculation ;D

Yeah I've also gone in and out of the habit of checking BTC's price throughout the day, to less frequently. Perhaps it's your subconscious processing vast amounts of information akin to a supercomputer and finding it reasonable to have more interest.

actually i was thinking about finding or writing an aplication for my desktop using coindesk API to always have the price ready at hand :D

i never stopped, since the first time i discovered bitcoin

i'm checking it every single day of my life, like it is a necessary thing, like foods basically...

I'm also thinking about having it permanently on my desktop, and I'm taking it further by considering getting a smart phone Bitcoin price app so I can check the price wherever I am. I'm always wondering what the rice is doing when I'm away from my computer.

Electrum shiws the updated price in their wallet app. It's pretty handy :)

I have a free app on the phone called bitcoin ticker.  it is just a small display of a number with an indication of if the trend is up, down, or unchanged.  
every time I go to use the phone, the current bitcoin value is in my face.  very convenient.

To me it's as automatic as checking the weather and the baseball scores (during season) when I wake up.

That's when I log in here and say good morning.

I usually check the Wall Observer thread after I've checked the price because it's good for finding out the latest news. It's always easy to find right at the top. Chart buddy keeps it at the top even if nobody else has posted, and he makes it easy to compare the prices on Bitfinex. Bitstamp, and Coinbase.

i usually keep the preev tab open all day at work so i can monitor the price, even though ive been out of mining since Jan its still interesting :)

If you have an iOS device, you can download the NastyFans iOS app.  It has a Today View option to where you can see the Bitcoin price in your Today view.  Just drag down anytime you want to see the Bitcoin price.  :)

Yes same here. For 4 days I´m doing this now.

It was worse at the time where the price was around 1k +-. But its somewhat stable relatively to that period, thus checking it lesser nowadays.

Its a nice habit to pick up on.

But thats really for day traders in my view or traders who are dependent heavily on movement prices. I look at the price every few 2 days, or happen to not check it at all for entire week. Obviously im not a trader.

Just switched to android! Hope there'll be an option in the future :)

I check it at least 5 times a day. Nothing much also check some alt that never fail me in the past.

I have the paranoid android app.... spent 2013 getting woken up to the happy green alarm, and 2014 getting woken up to the angry red alarm....2015 has been pretty quiet so I often go weeks without noticing the price. Would very much like to start getting woken again to the happy "you're getting richer" alarm!

you are seriously hooked. big time.


me too....    :-*

ahh, so I'm not alone addicted to checking bitcoin price on daily basis last two weeks? good to known:)

for more addiction, start using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brentpanther.bitcoinwidget

I am only registered with Apple as a developer.  I wouldn't be able to write a single line of code for Android.  If an android developer ever steps forward, I would love to provide them with everything they need to build it.

nice app mate easy to use and can satisfy my desires of contantly sticking with bitcoin prices :D used to have to check on preev constantly to know of price movements lol

Just keep in mind though if you dont see the # you like in the morning or it drops, just save the stress and check 1 week later and see where it is lol.

Usually its around the same price, so daily checks are really not much to tell unless you hear stories like greece.

I check the BTC about 5-6 times a day ;D. It's obsessive behaviour & maybe a bit stupid but I can't help it. I wish I could just forget about the price & check it maybe once every couple of months but I can't help it :)
Hopefully all this time & effort will be worth it one day.

Yup I use the Bitcoin ticker app too. It's fantastic, a great easy way to check the price wherever whenever.

You are not the only one here ,buddy. We are all having that obsession with bitcoin. I do it all the time. I check for the btc price all throughout the day , and I'm very hopeful  it goes up. I check it like I check my messages. haha ;D
