Bitcoin Forum

Let’s face it ladies and gentlemen, we all love Bitcoin right? However, we notice ourselves that every single day, we have our own habits in our daily lives. However, it all changed when we expose ourselves too much in Bitcoin and in the world of cryptocurrency.

Without further ado, I will share to you the common “signs and symptoms” that you are suffering from Bitcoin addiction:

1. Your Google Chrome/Firefox/Safari browser always have a tab reserved for CoinMarketCap

Hahaha!! I am so, so, so guilty of this one! When I was working or browsing with some stuff, I noticed that CoinMarketCap tab is present for most of the time. You know why? It is because the volatility of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are so high, in which the price could change drastically whether if moons or dips.

I don’t know about you guys, though. Unless if you are a Bitcoin day trader, you would always reserve a tab for CoinMarketCap.

2. You are not excited in conversations unless if it’s about Bitcoin, blockchain, etc.

Ever since I engaged myself into cryptocurrency, I started to become passionate with it. However, I started to notice that when my family and friends are talking about their interests, I’m starting to get bored and may only socialize a little with them. However, when someone is mentioning about Bitcoin, blockchain, etc., my excitement level increases to talk more about that.

I know you guys are feeling the same thing, but not all, it depends.

3. You are excited when you hear the word “moon”

Of course, of course, of course!!! I love it when I hear that word “moon” because it is all about profiting from my Bitcoin investment. Not only Bitcoin though, but other coins and tokens as well that I am engaging with.

Every time I hear it, it’s like I cannot wait to check the charts once again. How about you guys?

4. Checking the price and charts is the first thing to do when you wake up and before you sleep


I am super, super, super guilty of this! I usually sleep around 2 AM to 3 AM, and before I sleep and turning off my Macbook Air, I check the price first. And when I wake up, I opened it and check CoinMarketCap immediately. Lol

I just don’t know if you guys are having the same habit as me, but it is what it is when we are having too much exposure with Bitcoin, blockchain, etc.

Are you suffering from Bitcoin addiction? Well then, welcome to the club! ;)

Yeap, number one and four are so true for an addict of bitcoin.  ;D
Having coinmarketcap app around is usually the case for most people or other app to check price. Off course, you need to monitor your business to know how healthy or sick it is.

But, for number four, I usually do not check on a daily basis before sleeping. I believe I can't change what will be. Hmm... Maybe I'm not much of a chronic addict....

On the contrary to number three, I think moon is used mostly for altcoins especially on telegram (although moon and bullish are same thing).

Ignoring your friends and family, withdrawing from social interaction, and being obsessed about price charts are not health habits to be developing. Addiction is not something to be laughing and joking about.

You sound like you need to take a break from crypto, re-engage with your social networks and develop or re-develop other interests and hobbies.

This thread made me laugh :D thanks for brightening my day. I'm a bit addicted to cryptocurrencies and often catch myself checking my market tracking app.

It's the sad truth that most of us probably are addicted in some way. I definitely spend far too much time checking up on prices and it's the first thing I think of when I wake up. Those 8 hours without knowing are pretty tough times!

is this seriously legit? like really? Is it because bitcoin is getting a lot of attention and people are too obsessed about it? Im actually speechless about this.

I really think it is just instinct whether there is a money involve sure thing a person will sure stick to it, If he could get profit then why not if he gets addicted to it, As long as it is not illegal to get, Well depending on the country But we can surely sure that this is what most people's motive for bitcoin addiction and I can not call it addiction for nothing if they will get something good for doing it then I call it earning, Because if a hubby doesn't get you a profit or has risk in doing it then that can  be call addiction.

The complete list :P

It's pretty BS in the first place. Most of those characteristics aren't signs of addiction at all. Not because I have a CMC tab open all the time it doesn't automatically mean I'm addicted, etc. A different title might be more fitting that calling it straight-off addiction.

Maybe I was addicted to Bitcoin.  :D :D :D In the 4 signs I have 3 signs as you say. I think not only myself but most people in the crypto community are like that.

1,3 & 4 is really suited for me because of addiction i am always check my portfolio whole day and open exchanges websites. also talking with friends about bitcoins on social media sites. because of bitcoin and crypto i am going far from outdoor activities and less interaction from my local friends also my family is asking what kind of work u are doing. but i need to take a break from crypto in this bearish market and concentrate on health and social interaction because addiction of any habit is bad.

Hahaha the number 3. That is the best one. This post is amazing how I wish I have some SMerits to give you. Unfortunately I don't have. This post is so funny.

Very funny)))) turns out to be a bitcoin addict. I fit all 4 points. Checking the course is not only morning and evening, flying for the moon, I wait. Tab in browser, then holy;D ;D

I feel this topic quite funny. This is an interesting question. I agree with the signs you give. Also, I do not sleep on time. I often focus on price charts whenever I invest in any kind of electronic money

this is something I have done and indeed this makes me miss wanting to trade again, replenish my passion to get profit, but we know this time is not a good season to start again. currently i only focusing on taking part in cryptocurrency management team

i think this nonsense started the first time with some company starting up some money grab program from gullible newbies calling it "cryptocurrency addiction". they were saying it is a clinic that "treats" this addiction. LOL.
it was funny now and it is still funny. it is like saying if you have fiat then you are a fiat addict, if you open your wallet and see cash in it then you need to be treated. come pay us money to treat your addiction :D

I won't say its a form of addiction to me though because addictions are always hard to break. In my own case, its more of anxiety when I first got into crypto and I manage to have some satoshis saved up. Its was an experience I don't want to go back to. I tend to check my wallet every hour to be sure its still there, monitor the bitcoin price every now and there in other to follow my 'wealth' movement and decide whether its time to sell or rejoice. At the point every of the four factors up there apply to me on a large degree.

But now, you tend to exercise some discretion now and take things more slowly and see things unfold. Its then safe to assume that since there is no addiction to making money, its bitcoin anxiety that is being interpreted as addiction and mostly common to new entrants into the market.

The post is very interesting, it is very similar to my habits. In fact, Bitcoin has a lot to do with my daily mood, I'm happy, I'm saddened by Bitcoin. Check Bitcoin prices, make Bitcoin topics, etc. I would like to contribute to your post, part 2 we should care more about family and friends. Of course we must focus on work, but do not affect family and friends, must treat them well. In addition, I joined the Bitcoin-related social networks Altcoins to study, share and help each other about virtual currency.

According to these 4 signs,  I am a cryptocurrencies addicted. But I don't think it's bad. I am enjoying this addiction because I think getting involved in cryptocurrencies has been one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Crypto addiction treatment wtf? What do they do? Make you stare at a dollar bill 8 hours a day to get the crypto out of you? LOL. That's next level gullibility.

And let me guess, it was selling?

I'd also add that a crypto addict is very nervous and overall not nice towards others when his investments aren't going as planned. But when prices go to the moon he is overexcited and wants to hug everyone around.

Well then according to these signs I am not addicted to bitcoin. Albeit I am a huge believer of BTC and a keen crypto enthusiast.
The sign is partially true. Although I don't have a the coinmarketcap tab opened always, I do have a bookmark so that I can open it in a jiffy.
The second sign is not true at all since I do listen to what people say. This is how we get to know others.
The third sign is definitely not true. I never get excited when I hear the term 'moon' since I believe in potential growth of BTC and not a pump and dump.
The fourth point is completely true since I keep checking the price of BTC along with other alts on a regular basis and definitely the first thing in the morning.

good addiction in my opinion, I spend my time on bitcoin.
looking for information about the market, and also hunting prizes. I stopped only when I slept, I did not do other activities other than bitcoin...

Lol..... You've really killed it with this post. 1 and 4 works for me as I do that like all the time. I need to confirm the worth of what I'm holding each time in order to decide the next action to take. Bitcoin and blockchain technology has really knocked me off.

I think the word “addiction” is not the right term to be used. Any single one of us that reads this post has found his/her way into the bitcoin community. It’s about sharing all our stories regarding the entire crypto space. Sharing One big “passion”. Which brings me to the , in my opinion, correct term: Passion

every day I see a new weird thing in bitcoin community which can not be found anywhere else! the community is pretty innovative when it comes to creating weird content :D

"bitcoin addiction"? what the hell is that? are you an addict if you use fiat every day? or know the value of the fiat you are holding? no you are an addict if you use that fiat in abusing manner such as gambling with it.
bitcoin is the same. things OP describes are not bitcoin addiction, they are addiction to other things such as gambling. for instance someone who has a tab open checking price of different altcoins every second has no idea what trading truly is and how it works so he has to constantly check to see if his bets (since they are not investments) have won him any money or did you lose some more.

I live on the blockchain so can't stay away unless I am killed by the bears and I can't live on it anymore. I have all my browsers full with all things crypto and my entertainment at night is watching silly Youtube videos of everyone making their predictions on Bitcoin prices and pimping their favorite shit coins to get their followers in to dump on them. So much fun I have in crypto, that's why I love Bitcoin, even though I barely have any now due to being wiped out in this horrible trashy bear market. I still live in a remote hope we might see a moon in my lifetime lol and yes, I am a true addict.

The title should go like this. Our habitual engagement in cryptos.

Well I think that most suit rather than addiction since I don't want that negative connotation. Like for me this is a sort of kind of habit to our every day lives and you just didn't notice how it affect us.

On the other hand, I'm guilty of no. 1 and 4 but no. 2 isn't right since we also need to socialize to others even we all have different perspective. Just hang out with them and have fun. As they say, we only live once.

Just forget crypto for a moment, just chill and take a break once in a while.

If number 4 is called addiction, i think i am addicted to cryptocurrency. But i think its just checking price in market and its normal for people involve in cryptomarket.

This is hilarious. i think i have all four of the signs and symptoms of the bitcoin addiction. But i don't think these are addictions, it shows how enthusiastic you are about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. It shows your believe in bitcoin 8) 8) 8)

Ok, then I am fine, because the first thing I do when I wake up is to take a piss and to brush my teeth.  ;D

I have to admit, I do fire up a quick Preev.com to check the price so I am almost addicted to Bitcoin, but I am not to worried about that, because it is a good vice, if you have to have one.  ;D

You talk about Bitcoin addiction, as if it is supposed to be a bad thing. I cannot see why it should be a bad thing. Let's be honest, there are a lot of other things you can be addicted to, that is much worst than a Bitcoin addiction.  :P

I'm guilty of 1 and 4, but I doubt that they can be described as anything even remotely close to addiction. It's totally normal to check how your investment/currency is doing on a daily basis, especially if this investment/currency is highly volatile. I'm sure that people who trade stocks do this every day, including checking charts after waking up.


Anything can be an addiction if it negatively impacts someone's life. I can easily imagine people wasting hours everyday on reading crypto news, analysis and other crap that doesn't matter in the long run, stress themselves over the price, and then feel bad for spending so much time unproductively.

I am interested in point No. 2, as all our habits can be replaced, and our interest only focuses on the interests of bitcoin. How it can replace our habits that we have done years before.

Of course, majority of us will fall on this signs. Maybe I don't consider myself addict but more of a crypto enthusiast to say the least. I will immediately jump if I hear some discussions about bitcoin, but sadly I haven't heard anyone talks bitcoin in public in our place so I try remain quiet about the subject matter. Though I try to explain what's keeping me busy lately, but they don't f*** care.  ;D

Even though they do sound amusing, they are true. Even if we do not have all the signs and symptoms ticked off, there are some that we can associate with.

I really agree with your mentioned signs. I think Bitcoin is like drug if you start realize its magic you will not be able to leave it. And it is common for all crypto lovers to check regularly about the market condition

This is true. And I think this can relate most of the crypto holders or Bitcoin lovers. One more thing is that your head comes up with many attempts to find out the best strategy to gain more all the time

Well I believe this is the real attraction of Bitcoin. The worst part is you can’t leave these habits. Most of the time you will be conscious about the market facts and will pray for progress of the price

Well technically there are some ways to determine your addiction in bitcoin. Let me break it down to you, 1st of many is that buying it whenever you think of it. Secondly, spending most of your time in this system. Third is putting all you have in bitcoin despite uncertainty. Lastly is when your health being affected in a bad way.

I find your post really interesting and useful even a bit funny) To my mind, it is better to choose btc if trading but not become addicted because any kind of addiction is a bad thing which will bring nothing good

My past self did number 1,3, and 4. In my early crypto days, I used to obsessed with marketcap. Probably because it was the easiest parameter to understand. But now after seeing the whole scene for a few years, I know that market cap doesn't mean so much. I was actively looking for smallcap coin on the rise.

I also used to addicted to Bitcoin price movement. I don't know why, it's not that I hold a significant amount of BTC. Probably because price action was more interesting in the past. Everything feels boring and usual when you've seen how BTC drop from $20K to $6K :D These hundreds dollar candlestick is nothing compared to what I've seen before.

As for talking about Bicoin, blockchaim, or crypto, I always avoid talking on those topics in real life. I would rather known to be someone who know nothing about crypto in real life.

I am addicted to the four things you mentioned. But along with this I try to keep some more things in my mind. Keeping a general idea about the other situation going forward, I think it is an important issue. Although I'm not much addicted to the moon issue.

Yes, I am addicted at number 1, 2 and 4. And I'm really happy for this addiction of Bitcoin. By the coinmarketcap, we are always trying to understand what the situation is. And I want to keep this addiction for long run.

Yes, I'm in Bitcoin Addiction. I always excited about the four things you mentioned here. All the time. I have to watch coinmarket.cap all the time because I always check what is happening here.

it is not bad if you want to get bitcoin. but if it too much be alert or for those who want it badly, let me remind you that we are people who used the bitcoin. not bitcoin used us for do some bad or crime activities just to get big earnings or bitcoin. don't be greedy in the bitcoin. jusy be contented on your earninga because if you have contentment i am sure that npthing bad happen to you.

Really shocking and very unique article because all of these things happen to me and frankly speaking I'm proud to be a Bitcoin addicted person.

This is the consequences of our illness - crypto insanity :D When I first started in bitcoin I also suffered from it, now- I become colder.

These traits that you mentioned are more on obsession than addiction. From a HODLers point of view, I don't have any of these traits. Doesn't mean that I don't care. But because with this kind of obsession, it's a straight road to depression based on bitcoin's current situation.

Absolutely right. Those who have investment in market, they have a habit of checking current market price constantly. And also, they have other habits as you mentioned. When woke up in the morning very 1st thing I do is check the current market price.

You are completely right. Those who have venture in advertise, they have a propensity of checking current showcase cost continually. Conjointly , they have other propensities as you specified. When woke up within the morning exceptionally 1st thing I do is check the current advertise cost.

You have done your research perfectly well, It is like you are a prophet talking about me. What I do now in order to concentrate when pastor is preaching in the church is keeping my phone at home to avoid checking coinmarketcap in the church.

For no reason I always check coinmarketcap for the prices even though I don't trade Bitcoins/alt I still do it because it's interesting to watch the volatility of different coins.

It's so funny to read the comments on this thread and on reddit admitting that they have a Bitcoin addiction.  :D

---

Those signs and symptoms didn't originally came from OP if you read the red text. A source linking to a reddit thread was also shared by mjglqw.

Haha lol...you have some really nice analysis done there. The crypto addiction is in deed a mind blower. Anyways i like your fourth point and I think I fall into that category. I can't stop checking prices at each minute.

I do have tab reserved for coinmarketcap but everything else is something that I was doing in the past. I am not in that mood anymore, I am doing all the things that are mentioned but not that passionately. Just in level of regular daily routine.

In my own opinion, I may admit that being in the crytocurrency is already part o my routine and I do not consider it as btc addiction. We had reasons why we always start to check everyday at CMC since we are after for the the market update whether it is up or down trend mainly because of the investment you had made on btc and altcoins. Also, I usually open this forum because of my bounty campaign participation that I need to comply daily. I know that the  time for the family and friends has cut down a bit because of my involvement with btc in general since I need to do it.

That's true matter. Bitcoin lover don't show inteest anything else except bitcoin. They don't want to learn something else without bitcoin. But it's need to change with their mind.

but this is not as bad as drugs or gambling, because this concerns a future, and indeed bitcoin is not forbidden so I think it's good too. It can make your life better because I am a bitcoin user who has already felt how positive the benefits are after getting a profit in the bitcoin business.

I have found myself in three of four points you have mentioned. Is this addiction or not we could discuss. Still if you are involved in Bitcoin for a long time like I am, some things simply become a habit. And we now that habits can easily turn to addiction but on the other hand if you want some serious gain from Bitcoin you have to be seriously involved.

Wonderfully all the above symptoms exist in me.  After reading the article written by OP I checked these in myself.  All these are present in my daily routine.  I want to see the price chart daily more than once.  I take more interest in bitcoin / crypto related discussion as compared to any other topic.  I also want await moon as stated by OP.  So I think these are the habbits I think most of the members of the forum will be having.  

I don't know how cryptotab work and make people benefitted who use chrome and mozila. Hear that it's use to mine bitcoin.And because bitcoin becomes most popular coin and that's make people addict on it.

ALl these four points are so attractive to be addicted with Bitcoin. Last feature , that attract me so much. I think choose varying person to person for their addiction.

Oh Yeah, those are really signs of addiction. This tread is some sort of self assessment if we are already hooked to. It is becoming an idol of the heart. If you see that 1 or two of it is what you do then Bitcoin is an idol  of your heart. Assess and evaluate what you do before you are drawn into it.

If these are all the symptoms maybe I am not addict in bitcoin yet, I have 1 out 4 symptom, the checks the price and charts. But it is because I need to, and that is the only time I am available to check it. I think that is reasonable  ;D

Number 3, word Moon attract me a more . When i hear this word that mean price going high. A good profit is waiting for me.

Exactly correct. Number three is not so roughly proper for me but Number 4 points is addicting me for a long time. I always feel excited when i hear this word "moon". This is like bullish run in Bitcoin market.

That's right, guys, I feel the numbers 1,2 and 4, maybe if number 3 I don't feel the same, maybe I don't know what you mean. what is certain is that it has become the hallmark of a bitcoin addict.

LMAO,  have been down since 2weeks now and my friends saying cryptocurrency market got  me sick

These factors you listed really got me laughing out so loud. They are really true, and there are also other factors as well that shows one is suffering from bitcoin addiction.

Number one should be replaced by bitcointalk.org site. The rest is true and correct. So theres this kind of addiction also regarding bitcoin. I guess my addiction is just mild but i do all the things said here. You should also put opening bitcoin discussion even to people who are not interested on this matter.

Lol! damnit! I might be part of the club actually, I don't really know if its sad or not, well I don't think it is, I am just happy about good technology and I want to see it move forward so uhm, its a good addiction!

After reading the 4 signs and symptoms of Bitcoin addictions, I think that I am a part of the addiction to bitcoin. I do those four signs regularly. However, it is good or no addicted of bitcoin? because bitcoin is opportunity to get everything, so the more we addict to bitcoin the more opportunity we will get from bitcoin. It depends on individual whether can control or menage the emotion or not.

I don't see any of these as addiction to Bitcoin except number 2, checking the price chart is a normal thing to do it simply means you are keeping track of your investments same goes for having a tab on your browser for coinmarketcap, being excited hearing the word moon also means that you are happy that you are gaining from your investments, not being excited unless a chat is about Bitcoin, blockchain and the likes is the start of being addicted to Bitcoin

Number 1 and 2 was i admit that bitcoin and coinmarketcap was always at  set at my homepage so that every i open my phone and or my computer the first one i see was the value or the fluctuation of those coins because i want to monitor always when and how it fluctuates.  I admited that as i think i am addicted in bitcoin because i always reading a blogs or comments regarding of it.

The title of your thread caught up my attention and interest. And funny thing that all of the signs are occuring to me. My chrome is my buddy, reserving tab for bitmex trading and coinmarketcap. Also, binance is my favorite apps now. So, I admit that bitcoin is addicting especially when you are making a profit.

Not sure if Bitcoin addiction is something real or you are just making it up right now. Even I had some kind of obsession with Bitcoin once I first joined the scene during 2017 but I haven't seen anyone getting addicted towards Bitcoin so far. So, I am a bit confused that either I am too dumb to understand the sarcasm or I am just not aware of such mental disease.

So true, I am also facing similar as you shared. I also used to open an extra tab on firefox / google chrome. Most of the time it’s become late night due to bitcoin addiction. But for now I will not say it’s an addiction, maybe I am loving to stay here.

To be honest, I don't know whether it's right or wrong to be in the circle that you have marked, but I did it because for the sake of my assets in the market

Very true indeed! I have got the number 2 and 4 symptoms . I think having patience is also should a be a sign that you're addicted by bitcoin. :p

No addiction signs! Good for me  :)

Your observation is very correct. But how else to show love for an idea that has such capacity to change lives? Bitcoin has an emancipating capacity. Bitcoin is an amazing phenomenon.

Yeah, But too much addiction is not healthy anymore, it is better to manage time rather than looking on Coinmarketcap every now and then and from time to time especially when you hodl a huge amount of Bitcoin that you bought on later 2017 and early 2018 when its price or value is skyrocketing to the moon. ;D
I think I'm not addicted because I can still manage my time and do some other kinds of stuff in our home but I surely do the number 2, 3 and 4 from what the OP just posted. :D

Guilty in number one and four here. I also wants to open tab for the bitcoin browser, I woud like to have a bookmark for bitcoin browser so it is easy to open and to look it immediately. I also wants to always to look the market price to monitor the it so I can think what possible strategy I would do if that case happened. But I could not consider myself as an addict but I love bitcoin though.

Same as me, which is weird since what I do half of my day is read about crypto and economics.

I think there's this point that you just become grumpy about bitcoin instead of being so enthusiastic about it. I don't have a tab for coinmarketcap as I have the Blockfolio app on my phone which tracks the value of my coins and it's linked to different trading sites.

In conversations, I really dislike talking about bitcoin to people because they mainly have no idea what is it or they have the wrong idea. I've spent enough time educating people, I think, about the subject and I'm just done. I just let them be because I know eventually they're going to know that they are wrong once they start reading again.

About the "moon" word, hmm, not really. I never had that even before.

And I don't really check the price that often. I only check the price when I'm in need of funds just so I know if I should wait or it's okay to cash out some money on that day. Plus, I'm quite surrounded by people who knows about bitcoin so I pretty much have myself price dump/pump update notifiers. ;D

You are so right in you number one and four bitcoin has become so addictive to the extent that I dream my trading before it happens in real life and again always looking for news that had to do with bitcoin has become my breakfast every morning. Bitcoin has help our financial life so at that it addiction will be a good one I don't regret getting addicted to bitcoin at all.

lol but who wouldn't want to be addicted to things that create wealth and make the society better? I consider addiction as inability to resist stuff that is bad for you. Getting stuck here in Crypto World does not feel like addiction to me. Though I am usually awake at nights doing thesame things... they feel more like fun and real work. They're one of the few things I do without feeling useless or to much stressed.

1. Its not on my tab but whenever I press "c" coinmarketcap is the first one to suggest.
2. I still have my social life but conversations regardings bitcoin and blockchain are way more interesting.
3. Not really, its now a meme.
4. Yeah, I usually check the price and my portfolio when I wake up.

This is very interesting. These four signs and symptoms truly indicates bitcoin addiction in fact these indicate cryptocurrency addiction. If you think you have only one of this signs, you are still addicted to cryptocurrency.

Really? i think this is true inhave done this also in times where i had put my money on cryptocurrency. And maybe the reason why i get panic is becausr i do all of this and that is why i suffer and the result i do panic selling. Wel anyway i am alright now though i loss some of my money!

I am not particular about counting signs and symptoms of bitcoin addiction but there's only one thing that i am sure that i am already addicted by bitcoin. All the hard works that i do in crypto is only focused for my goals in life that someday i could reach them through the help of crypto.

The number 1 and 4 makes me laugh because I related on that, of course there is a sign that you are addicted on bitcoin but we all knew that when you are addicted on bitcoin you're addicted to earn money too so is it really a good habit?
For now I'm ignoring my family,friends,etc.. just to read about bitcoin although eating at right time, but thanks for waking my mind up because now I've been awake to reality that bitcoin addicted is not so right although it's right to earn money but to ignore family? no no no.

I think I suffer from all the 4 symptoms listed, and it especially peaked when Bitcoin's price was in a strong bull rally. Having said that, this cannot be compared to the serious addictions that people suffer - from alcohol or even video games. It interests me, but is not compulsive enough to become a disorder. I definitely won't be visiting my family doctor for this!

actually, we become an addicting person in cryptocurrency, right? ;D because our life related with the crypto and realize or not, the crypto now is part of our lives and we build a new habit while we are in the crypto. I agree with you and I got all of those 4 signs in my day and I think I am fine with that ;D but I do not always check the price in my computer because I install some apps in my android phone so I can check it when I am not in front of my computer and I can get a live price in many exchanges.

I think there are lots of things in the bitcoin that can make you addicted to the bitcoin and being so profitable and beneficial, there are millions of people around the world who get addicted to the bitcoin after understanding the fate and potential of bitcoin and then the amount of profit it can provide in a very short span of time and apart from your characteristics, there are few more characteristics of bitcoin addiction that you always check the valuation of bitcoin and keep praying for increase in valuation.

 ;D First and third point is absolutely true for me i get excited when i hear word moon and also a tab reserved for coinmarketcap for checking the price.

aw....
you hit me on most of your points LOL :D
not only cmc is in my favorite tabs... but a lot of other cryptocurrency related sites are now saved in there.
i also like to talk about crypto especially to those newcomers who really wanted to know more about it.
:D

I think you have only given just some symtoms for bitcoin addiction where in fact there are a lot more Ive observed with my friends. Making bitcoin/ethereum/litecoin and other coins stickers and sticking it in their rides, or coins symbols in their shirts and other equipment and that was very hilarious to me.

I believe we should not call it Bitcoin addiction, rather people are addicted to the money that is involved here. If someone would have been really addicted with Bitcoin then he/she probably would focus on the features of Bitcoin and how to make the mass adopt it faster than focusing on the monetary value of it.

Lol you do soud like these are what you exhibit but all the same you are right and i also want to add that most times when people cry over their is also a sign that they are addicted to bitcoin and that aint nice

Nice guide.

Addiction of everything is bad. Recently I got addicted to online world (count forums) and it affected my health. I realized that we need to have a balance in life. Money or crypto is not everything in life.

This thoughts were really true,i been into this addiction and I can't deny the fact that its happening to me everytime i hands on my phone.I first look at the blockfolio inorder to know if the coins that i have been holding have grown its price.I see it as a natural bitcoin addict because what we all wanted here is to have huge profit from cryptocurrency.

If that is a sign of bitcoin addiction, i think i am addiction on bitcoin. Sometimes i am always opening coinmarketcap in my chrome to check the price of my investment. But i think its fine for me

this is funny, well on my opinion i cant really call someone an addict unless medically proven. i only call people who love bitcoins as bitcoin enthusiasts. like sports enthusiast's who love talking about their favorite sports

I think once we are involved in the bitcoin, we become the bitcoin addiction because all we want to do is how to get more bitcoin in many ways. And this makes us study about the way so we can earn more and more. Many of us have become addicting in bitcoin because we want to find out the other way so we can produce more bitcoin and fortunately, we can do many things to earn more bitcoin.

Many users are fanatical about bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency market. Such people do not know how to think rationally, portend the Grand future of bitcoin and crypto-currencies, absolutely not wanting to notice their shortcomings and risks.

This is a very funny topic, but also very true. In bitcoin, I really found my hobby, my vocation, I am very interested in doing this and spending all my free time studying the crypto-currency market.

Exactly, I realized that my time turned out to be more for bitcoin, and it turned out that what you said was true because the first to fourth points did occur in my life to this day.

Great, I have a bitcoin addiction. But I do not see anything wrong with this, because this topic is very interesting for me, and besides this hobby brings excellent profits.

Bitcoin is really very easy to get infected. This topic is very exciting, I can sometimes spend the whole day and the computer, studying the news, articles, forecasts, market analysis. So I'm proud to call myself a bitcoin addict.

comfieso I am addicted to bitcoin I do almost everything like your check coin marketcap every time and if I'm very excited about the new projects and also when I leave I can not stop checking my phone graphs and how are the prices in addition to participate in many cryptocurrency forums and see cryptocurrency news do trader and everything that has to do with bitcoin and block chains
watching all the days of the year since this is a job that does not work 365 days a year and 24 hours a day there is a lot of potential and the best thing is when you go to the moon only the trader understand those words

You're absolutely right. Bitcoin can be compared with any virus, because it is very contagious. All my friends, whom I told about bitcoin, also began to be interested in it and spend most of their free time studying the news and analyzing the market.

Its whole physiological game. I am completely agree with thoughts mentioned above for addictivity of not just for Bitcoin but all crypto.

Usually we get controlled by own ourself and for that we get trained as per our demands from our own expectations by ourself. And for that think we care so much and for care we need monitoring which give thought process for examine situation and condition whether its in favor or against.

People already involved in crypto are much close to above conditions. But right now newbies are also getting involved on higher number to crypto world.

All things and behaviour of current digital world along with technologies like as blockchain, AI and ML taking human being to virtual world to make financial activities which is really innovative and revolutionary platform for business. But at the same time human entering into new era of economics and finance.

Bitcoin makes a person do more than the usual, maybe because they have seen it happen to other people and they want it somehow to experience it, we're all know it and so those things happen without realizing that we are doing beyond normal things...I mean we exceed.. specially when we heard the words.. bull...moon and among others and we always keep ourselves updated as to not to be left behind.

Yes, almost all of this I'm experiencing and I can really say that I'm addict in bitcoin. It's almost time to see the price of bitcoin and other altcoin and I always look at the price. I always know all the news about crypto and I do not want to miss every news.

The first thing I would usually do after I woke up in the morning is to check the prices of bitcoin on the crypto-currencies trading market using my smartphone, I guess most of the traders who are trading bitcoin on the trading market might be suffering from bitcoin addiction, but I think it is normal for traders to keep track of their investment daily, and if it is not affecting their job in real life, I think it should be fine.

I think bitcoin is not addicted because what push a person to strive and work hard to earn bitcoin is to gain profit to support the needs of living, as for me bitcoin is not a game and can be stressful if we don't know how to handle it but profit awaits for those who understand and have a virtue of patience.

It really is an addiction, agreeing that it motivates a person to become more hardworking and think more to make money but because of the benefits and the change it brings, we have sunk too deep into it and become dependent. A very clear evidence is that many people after waking up, what they do first is to check the price of bitcoin then, the appearance of crypto, it occupies all the time of their day, they only care about crypto and crypto, the world around them is nothingness, family and friends are similar

I dont think we are addicted to Bitcoin or Cryptocurrency, we just want us to have a lot of money from the Crypto market. So all the information about it you feel excited, especially the phrase "moon".
But now I am still pretty sad when Bitcoin prices fall. But I'm happy because I have a good chance to invest Bitcoin at a cheap price.

Yes I am addicted to Bitcoin, it is an evolving digital currency that the world will sure accept in the near future, to see to it continuous existence we must ensure we remain steadfast, not minding the regular negative news, the future should be our focus, I even wake up in mid nigth to check whats is happening in the space. This is an addiction I don't want to stop.

The word "moon" i think died out already we use to read that word every now and then here but now that bear market hasn't lasted yet for almost a year, the excitement died too. bounty hunters are more excited when the word "distribution" is mentioned in the thread. Addiction to bitcoin would also die if you have invested to BTC while the price if more than 10k but watching the prices keeps us wake still.

If you are getting addicted to something then you may face the consequences as well,if your intention is to make more cryptos with your skills then you addiction may be helpful for that by making you do hard works but you just gamble with speculation then it may be harmful.

Awesome one and very humorous! none of them will suit me as I start my day checking my mails, calender and Skype, - I check CoinMmrketCap 5/6 times a Day. BTC and Blockchain is awesome topics, but I feel them just as interesting as my everyday job. Moon is always exciting to me, and I love to see BTC to go moon, man and women to go moon, poem about moon and looking at the moon - I am all loony, lol! Well, half-guilty about the forth one, I check prices and charts before I go to bed, everyday.

For me that is true especially the additional tab in internet I am also doing that . But the truth is eveything that is over is not good our life. Vut for me when the time that you are already a bitcoin addict you can say that you are already successful because when you are classify your self as a bitcoin addict you can more do more than the succesful and hardworking businessman because you are doing business. Remember that bitcoin is not a vice that when you become addict your less are going to mess. But in bitcoin when you become a bitcoin addict you are going to be a rich. So it may happen I will not going to affraid if I am be called a bitcoin addict.

the symptoms that are often common in bitcoin users are number 4, checking prices and graphics is very important to do every day even every minute

Did you know there is a clinic with a rehab center to purge crypto addictions, they say it's the same addiction type than poker. And I am not joking I have a thread posted some months ago in the trading sub-forum.
It's not a Bitcoin addiction but rather one about trading (the fact that is with BTC is another parameter)

Will in my own there are different sign of becoming an bitcoin addiction first are  lack of sleeping,because once a person become a bitcoin addicted its always monitored his asset or what happen daily the market chart,second  always irritiated when something dump happen in crypto world,thirds every minutes they alwaus panic and always thinking what happen to his investment  and lastly person become addicted in bitcoin become greedy,because he always want a positive outcome of his investment.

Exactly.If you're totally a bitcoiner,surely most of your time is already dedicated to bitcoin already.The addiction is not really bad but i think you need to balance your life activities somehow.Of course you have to monitor btc price if you have made huge investments on it but make sure you will not be carried away with your emotions when the price had suddenly goes down.

I'm very guilty with 1,2 an 4 before but I not with 3 because it's like catching gullible people to buy the tokens they want you when they say moon. I remember not only addicted to checking coinmarket price but also checking my portfolio to see if it already reached 2x.

So funny but so true. A story of my life. At least I have a full-time job so I can distract myself from checking altcoins rates 24/7 online. Still, I would prefer more time for myself and less time for crypto.

Agreed with you.
Everyone wants to wake up, check price chart and see "moon". Once will be happen.
It's my dream :)

From that signs, I guess I am on the number 4 because every I wake up, I've always checked the price first in my android phone so I can see how good the movement of bitcoin and altcoin ;D

For the number one, two, and three, I think I am not like that because I do not always check CMC although I have one tab for CMC. When I talk to other people, I don't speak about blockchain, bitcoin, and cryptocurrency every day but I always talk about everything, so I still give an interest in the topic. The "moon," it is the word that I often heard from my friends when we gather in the coffee shop or by chat message and usually, I am not too think about this because I don't think that the real "moon" will comes to us in the short time.

Well as per personal experience, i did have a time when i was like that, but then i grew tired of it. You can't avoid putting too much emotion when you live and breathe btc so i try to manage my a little more.

I have experienced it one year ago but now I am relying on being alert to smartphones to check the price of bitcoin. Right now I am only checking bitcoin waves through graphics if indeed there is no good thing I go back to this forum and I am indeed addicted.

yeah indeed, number 1 and four are very likely that affected me so much, browse full of coin market and many ads that realated to that, also every morning and when going sleep always checking the market, lol

I don't agree with you! I feel the same weaknesses as the author of the topic, I subscribe to each of the 4 signs. But I don't think this is addiction, like poker addiction. I just have a dream, and a cryptocurrency can bring me closer to this dream or even realize it. Therefore, I worry about the state of the cryptocurrency.

The topic is interesting. I do not know if I've actually been bitcoin addicted yet. I would love to look at bitcoin price charts and like to watch the waves on the bitcoin price chart. Sometimes it makes me happy when prices rise and vice versa. I locked myself in the room and used that time to trade with bitcoin to make a profit. Maybe I was addicted to it.

Thanks for sharing this post) it was interesting to read it and to recognize some features and habits I have but I don't have all of them so i don't have a serious addiction at least not now

Am already addicted to Cryptocurrency right from the day one of hearing about it and getting to know how it works and I developed more and more interest in it. And in the filed of Cryptocurrency NO one is DON. In other words WE LEARN EVERY DAY.

The funniest part if it all is when I always get to check my portfolio and also checking the price of bitcoin and other crypto. Is really a thing of fun getting to know about Cryptocurrency. Lets say bitcoin as the king

Well 1,3 and 4 is me and I think all of us like that everyday because that's what we do everyday.  Its important to check our funds and what the market goes if it's great to invest it or we having a profit that day. I think it's not a addiction its natural because we do it everyday to check our funds.

I was addicted to bitcoin at one time. the first thing in the morning I checked his movement, before going to bed I again checked these movements. endless was checking his wallets. but I got rid of it. in early 2018, I just forgot about it.

People who are addicted to bitcoin are people who enjoy huge profits when the price of bitcoin reaches almost USD 20,000 in December 2017. After the big profits they can use to buy houses, cars, jewelry, vacations and so on. After that period, his life was always filled with the word bitcoin. Browsing the internet, always bitcoin. Meet friends, chat about bitcoin. Read the newspaper you are looking for news about bitcoin. Finally there is no other life, only bitcoin, bitcoin and bitcoin.
