how often do you check BTC price and how to cope with stress associated with this?  I am checking it every few hours and it drives me crazy and makes me anxious. Is there anybody in a similar situation and how do you cope with this?

PS: I was trying to do this once a month, but I think, I missed the beginning of the bear market in January this year because of this.  

Thanks,
Mike

I have more than 2.5 USD in my wallet but I do not see the bitcoin value in the any price index websites because if there is price dump with the huge blow. I make mind upset for the complete day or couple of days.
If you can to the bitcointalk and invested that time means you may find the heavy loss by seeing at the present time but if you invest the money today before we see the big bump in the market. That time you make the double amount comparing in USD.

If it stresses you out means that you have invested way more money than you should have. You have broken the one rule that everyone keep on saying. Try to not check the price more than three times in a day and set alerts if you feel that you will miss out on the price swings. Also if you believe in the project than the price shouldn't matter that much to you.

if you are anything like (the old) me then what you are doing means that you don't know what you are doing that is why you keep checking the price!
otherwise if you know what you are doing, if you can speculate the market and make an educated decision and make logical moves based on that decision then you don't need to keep checking the price.

for example if you analyzed the market and decided it is a good time to buy with the least risk and placed an order you won't have to endure stress.
and with experience you should know what to do when that small chance of failure happened and you started losing money.

I'll admit that I still check BTC's price as frequent as when I first got into cryptocurrencies, but I sort of feel "numb" to the volatility. Bitcoin crashes by $5k? Meh. Alright. Time and experience in the blockchain ecosystem made me used to the huge price swings I guess.

I check either once a day in the morning or at night. When I was on vacation last week I checked 0 times in a whole week. Was quite proud of myself for that and honestly it boils down to your stress and pressure level. I don't feel stressed or pressured therefore I check it when I please. If I was very nervous (as I was when starting out last year) I checked several times a day, if not at least 10. Once you get some experience and once you get some profit behind you the stress should ease up. Until then I would keep myself as busy as possible, and if you can delete whatever tracking apps you have on your phone. That way if you want to check you have to physically walk to a computer.

BTC and ETH course added to the widget on the smartphone-I can see them all day.
As for stress, life in Russia is one continuous stress! :)

My advice is to never invest more then you afford to lose, by that principle you will not be stressed with the BTC price, I recommend checking it once per day, just to stay up to date.

I stopped care about BTC since the huge dip in market . All I am doing now it trying to increase my BTC holding and getting ready foe when the market recover , I do not care a lot when this will happen but I know at some point I will start to worry I Know this point is not know and I hope it will not come before the recovery of the market . I will pray for that   ;D

I think this is a right approach. I was also thinking of waiting for a bull market and only then come back. It is like in poker if you have a weak hand, you fold, if you have strong hand you play.

How are you trying to increase your BTC holdings?

 

Thats really bad way to go around this one. I mean checking the prices every other minute is meaningless. You are not even giving the air to breath to the market so that it can recover itself or make some progress in its volume. These things take time you know mate and you have to be cautious about it. I do check prices daily but mostly in the morning when I am having my breakfast and tea just to check that how the market is performing. I will not be surprised any day if it had moved down little. If someday I see too much dips then I will research on the forum first and then will react for my buy-sell orders. But getting anxious after looking the prices is worst thing.

I check my portfolio several times a day...  ;D ;D ;D But no, I don't feel stressed when the value goes down (ok just a little!). I have already pulled out my seed capital and now just playing with free money..

I do refresh https://coinmarketcap.com three to four time daily to know the position of thinks. those that buy bitcoin at the right time always have their stress reduce as their will always be in profits. However in you buy at the wrong time there is no way you will be out of stress.

Normaly I only check it once a day. I use limits for buying and selling coins. I don't worry when I sold and price increase next day and I don't feel stressed.
Maybe main reason is I startet at the right time when price was 1000 $ for 1 BTC.

1. I use sites to compare the price of bitcoin in exchange platforms and then calculate the average value of the price.
2. open Google search to find the average "using this word [Bitcoin price USD]".
3. calculate the difference between them and exclude the abnormal values(Often Asian platforms).
4. The resulting value is what makes me plan to sell or buy.

how to cope with stress:

I invest an amount that will not affect me very much if I lose so I do not take the risk nor sell until I get the planned price (Life is full of pitfalls).

It is normal that every morning we regularly check the price of bitcoin as it becomes our habit, but I make sure that I am not affected no matter what, during my first 6 months I am stress all the time I am seeing the price going down but eventually cope up with it thinking always that it is fine and will still rise up.

I can offer you a very good way to get out of it. Think of it as if you just have no coins in your wallet. I mean, you don't change anything with the thought of it and looking at the price. Other than that, you can set an alarm at the price you are waiting for. Sooner or later, the alarm will ring when the coin is equal to that price.

I suspect that at this time the price of bitcoin is very sensitive, currently there are signs of continuing a deep decline after recovering to $ 8000 level. I believe that at the moment when the market is knitting in crisis, after every transaction you should move all the USDT to protect your capital and not worry about loss in the market storm.

With the current situation of the market, we need to always check and monitor the price of bitcoin when trading, it can be seen that at present, bitcoin prices are fluctuating complicated and are returning to the down cycle. I think that at this point you should not continue trading and transfer all assets to USDT to preserve the property.

I checking several times a day through the mobile app.
I has many altcoins and so I find it interesting track some personal stats.

I check my wallet (etherscan) and to a coinmarketcap 10 times a day. I don't see anything wrong with this, because I should analyze which do with market. It is better to devote more time to work and your portfolio will grow, and you will be less nervous

If you are investing your money into anything, you must monitor them constantly, i would check the market every hour and i do get notification if the market started moving up or down, there is nothing to worry if you have entered at the right price, the only thing you must have is patience. There are apps which will help you in monitoring the market and check your valuations.

hahhah, relevant question, it is like a desiese for me, I would check bitcoin price almost every hour, and calming myself that this in only numbers on the screen.

Instead of focusing on price all the time, why don't you change the habit of your into buying bitcoin on a regular basis. You can buy bitcoin in small amount three times a week. That regular purchase will help you to accumulate bitcoin and at the same time keep you abreast of prices without stress.

Same here. I checked the price whenever I can but I'm not that bothered to see if the price is falling. But there are days that I went silent, not even checking it. I guess when you are not worried about the price movement, it wouldn't make sense to check the price as frequent as the OP did. And I guess if you have really other priorities besides bitcoin and crypto, you can totally forget about checking the price that too often as well. But I'm pretty sure that there are newbies you are really connected and attached to their laptops and PC and mobile phones to check the price like every hour. LOL.

Well if in the traders situation and for example I am going to buy more bitcoin and etheruem and basing on the BTC price and how to cope with stress? and to answer your question I will will not look every day or if I do I will just not think about it. I will just stay calm and wait for the positive outcomes and results that is now happening. To talk about it just 50% of good news is rising we can not tell if market value will increase or decrease for this week, It can still change.

Just relax, take a cup of coffee and wait for the market to start growing again. Believe me, this left very little time, as analysts say.

Don't stress yourself, it will not help you a lot because whatever will you, BTC price always dump. In my case, I am not worry about my bitcoins. Yes, I am quiet nervous when I see that the market will dump for today and tomorrow but I did not make myself anxious and afraid everytime I visit my wallet. Making myself depress in that situation will just burning myself in my own oil, I will just focus my self in trading and posting that to worry about its price.

I'll admit that I still check BTC's price as frequent as when I first got into cryptocurrencies, but I sort of feel "numb" to the volatility. Bitcoin crashes by $5k? Meh. Alright. Time and experience in the blockchain ecosystem made me used to the huge price swings I guess.

Since I'm using coins.ph wallet I can check BTC price from time to time because of my e-loading business and bills payment. I feel exaggerated whenever I see the price goes down or up. Anyways, I can't feel too much stress since I don't have that much bitcoins in my wallet. With less stress I just have to take a break by having a coffee to cope up with it.

I check it every time I open my pc.
Because in altcoin trading, the Bitcoin movement is very influential.

Try to forget everything and go on holiday at least one week. Maybe you will be fresh and do not think much about it if you breathe fresh air.
For me, I just play games or watch comedy shows to relieve stress due to loss.

I also used coins.ph wallet to check the price of bitcoin twice or three times a day. Well, it is normal for bitcoin to go up's and down but what I worries is when it goes drastically down and that time i needed money. In other way, I feel pump when it hits uptrend and suddenly I convert some portion of my bitcoin to our currency.

The important thing to do so is to cope with not worrying at all because I believe that whenever it gets down, it will recover again and again. And we should patiently awaits for it.

if you have an investment which is the reason why you always check the price everytime .Then i suggest to stay away from it,  'cause that is the common reason why some holders here in crypto world always end up into some factors, and always repent at the end.  If i were you pal stop observing the market, stay away on it read some news instead or go away then comeback before year end. 'cause for sure the price will rocketed again like what happened before.

Very often I would say, few times a day but somehow I came to the phase that this doesn't make stresfull situation for me.
I look at the price changes, both positive and negative as an new opportunity or chance I have to use in the best possible way. And I now that volatility is quite natural for bitcoin so price changes are something that can't be avoided.

Yes.Because no matter what,its price fluctuations are still inevitable.So you just have to be calm as always and don't expect too much in cryptocurrency so you won't be frustrated when things aren't working according to your will.For me,i check btc price before sleeping and after waking up.That would be enough for me not to be left behind whenever there are dumps or pumps happening.

I check the prices every morning not to see if the value of my portfolio has gone up or down but to observe the market behavior and the compare the current speed with the price velocity of the last two months. This helps me to stay optimistic about the technology and is the only reason why I am still here. One should stay very consistence and patient if one want to have super normal profits.

Apparently, that must have been his case because I see no reason why anyone should be stressed out by looking at the market, also, as long as you are not trading, I do not even see any reason why anyone should be looking at the market every minute of the day as that even sets such a person in a high level of emotion than they would imagine. Anyone going the HODL way should go about their normal daily activities and come back later on in future to check their holding.

Since OP knows something is driving him crazy and makes him anxious, then why is he still busy checking it ?
Probably he should read more about some people who bought bitcoin of few dollars back in 2009 and forgot about it only to come back years later that it has gone huge, making reference to the man who bought about $24 worth of bitcoin in 2009 and within a short period later in around 2013, was already hitting it big. Do not focus on the short term, focus on the long term.

I too watch it every few hours. In the past years I was checking it every few weeks but I have missed too many occasions. I agree this is a stress, but there is no free lunch.

I do not really into that much of checking btc price all the time. In fact, I never really check if there are no sudden news about btc. I only focus on collecting btc, because all I do is long term invest. If you are a daytrader or currently doing some short term invest, maybe you should check the price all the time. So that is the unique thing about long term invest, you do not need to monitor the price all the time. So I guess, in my opinion, if you want to cope with your stress, you should do a long term invest instead of short term or daytrading, hahaha. I just giving my humble opinion. I hope you can get over your stress and be positive again.

If you have time, try at least to watch it especially if your targetting that coin pump, not all pumps happen in morning, many things can happen in a span of day, it may pump in just a few hours, so if you're seeing a positive increase and wanting it to trade better give more time, if possible to not miss that chance. We need to extend the time in trading if we prefer to do day trading and as we keep on doing it, we will eventually learn what things must be done to be successful in trading, It is only a matter of experience and determining the importance of that coin so it can survive in a volatile market.

I just check it once in a day or so and then I hit my workplace. Then after coming back home I will usually start working on my forum work and wont usually look up there pieces. The reason is simple, the more you watch the prices the more you keep thinking about it and get panic about it if it is reducing in the prices. That is the thing I always try to avoid and also if anytime I saw the too much drops then I will check it multiple times just to see what is going on with the prices and whether there is any bad news about it. As that could be the reason for the same. However, I usually avoid it watching multiple time thats for sure.

I don't have the fixed time to check the price of Bitcoin. If I have time, I'll go and look at it. Generally speaking, there will be no obvious changes, so I won't take a short look at its price. If the price drops, I Will not pay attention to it. ;D

As of now I'm not stress about the price in the market because as of now I contented to what I see in the market and i think you should not always check the chart in the market because it makes you frustrated enjoy and be positive always.

Yes it happens everyone get good and bad time so do the bitcoin, we get nerves at start about bitcoin fall and rise but then later on when we learn about it we get experience, so don’t worry everyone use to do this at start but then they learn a lot of things through experience, I use to see the price but I don’t value the low price, I wait for the long time and I see the market getting high so I sell then again buy some bitcoin once again, keep checking the price once a week don’t keep checking all the time.

Bet you've asked, very often. This is something normal for us cryto currency users, it's like some of drug that drives us crazy whenever we see the market is bearish or bullish. We react on what we see because it connects us. Even in the time of sleep, numbers pop up my head before I closed my eyes and thinking that maybe tomorrow It will be different. Now to lessen the stress I feel everyday, I play online games, that way I somehow forget and gives me peace of mind, relaxes me and even smile a little bit.

I do not check the bitcoin price a lot, maybe about once a week or so. it's one of my ways to get rid of stress and avoid panic because I choose how to hold or long-term investments.

There is really no harm in checking prices everyday even if you are a long term investor. It is just the mindset one has when checking the value of your holding that is the main issue.
Unless we want to lie to ourselves, there is absolutely no way your heart will not be on your investment and you will just want to check how well you are doing which is normal, but letting little things like drop in value get to you when you should be less worried about them and look forward to the future is always where the problem lies.

If it's such a problem and cause of stress, I would just stop checking the price altogether.
There's a better option in that case, if you still don't want to miss major price drops or increases. You should find yourself a good customizable alert app that warns you when the price goes under or over a certain level.

Here's an open source one that will either send you an e-mail or a text:

I check them daily and regularly but I manage to cope up with my emotions and not really care about the price if it goes down because I usually hold Bitcoin for long term since I mostly placed all my savings from the bank on Bitcoin. But if there are times I get stressed out like when I checked Bitcoins price the last time and it was like $6k, what I usually do is I delete my application on my phone that has every coins I have in my portfolio so I would not be tempted to check on them again the next day.

I have to admit that it’s actually stressful to check the price every  now and then especially if you’re itching for the right time to make a sell. To cope with the stress, I check out the recent news on crypto and see what may have affecred the price. This allows me to understand why the price behaves the way it does. If there are any good news about btc, I can expect the price to go up and it helps me ease up a bit even while the price is low.

I usually check it every two or three days because there is something interesting happening in the crypto world right now but I never make decisions based on this price and it has nothing to do with my investment strategies. I invest more and trade less so, in the long run, this short-term price fluctuation doesn't really matter. I don't take any stress because of price fluctuation and even when the price was 65% down I was appreciating it because I know it is going to help Bitcoin to grow in the long run. In my initial days of trading it was very painful to see even 1% fall but somehow I was able to manage with this fluctuation.

Did the 6k stressed you out that much and was planning to sell now? Well if you didn't got stressed then good for you. A lot of people looked into that price and chickened out their BTC out of their wallets. So now, how often should we check BTC price? Before you check BTC price, don't be disappointed nor happy with what the graphs have shown to you. If it is low, change your mindset as that it is an opportunity to build your capital even more for trades. Why would you let your emotions get into your business anyway?

I check the price of bitcoin every now and then to avoid unnecessary tension and stress, of course bitcoin is very volatile and unstable I am very optimistic and confident that in a long term bitcoin has a prospect and becoming more popular thus it's price will keep increasing although pullback will be expected as usual.

You do not need to intentionally check the price if you have something to do with cryptocurrency. You just would see the price either while researching on a coin,  you want to buy or you read in a thread. Your eyes and fingers can take you to cmc.  If is your business, you will definitely see it.

Having a look at the market value of the crypto coin in which you have invested your money is a good thing but there is no such need of looking the market value of any of the coin after every 5 or 10 seconds as it won’t change anything. You need to stay patient and that you need to keep your nerves and emotions under your control so that you may not get panicked by looking at the market situation.

Perhaps you are too worried about the price of bitcoin. This means that the losses are very significant to you. Maybe you invested more money than you needed to. But the greater the risk, the greater the profit. Everyone decides for himself.

Checking the price every few hours is not that wrong, the problem is if you spend a lot more than a few seconds after looking at the price, after all looking at the price does not take that long, the truth is that you are facing a problem that every long term investor or trader faces, we care about our money that's why we are investing, we want more of it and that is why we are willing to take the risk of losing it, but coping with it is not easy you will probably have a lot of sleepless nights and the only thing that you can do is to endure it.

For that best strategy is to hold the coin you have. That will automatically help you to withdraw all such tensions and problems and complexities and will guide you to make a better life ahead. Holding has a hub of positive vibes and especially for the bitcoins. All other coins can be hold but there are some chances that they might give you bad results. So be confident on bitcoins and hold them.

I check all my hodlings once per day or when alrams are calls for my attention  :) Fortunately there are many apps and services which doing such monitoring easily and reliably

LOL, then you will get the stress and happiness equally bro, When the bitcoin value bumps up in the market we will be able to get the profit at the same time when we see the price goes cheap we should ready to hold the bitcoins for longtime.
Instead of that you can manipulate on various when the bitcoin goes to bigger in the market mate.

checking the market oftenly is indeed verry tiring and stressing because most of the times the value isnt going to move and they oftenly get dumped easily. there is only a small percent chance that a coin can pump high in just a single day. you may also missed the oppurtunity if you didnt scan the market to often.

In my case i do check the price everyday and every time wherever i open my browser because im not a busy person at all and i dont have a job outside , thats why i only foccus my time on this forum and on the chart.

I check it every day because I want to be updated with it and if possible I want to do short term trading so checking the BTC price is vital to my trading. As for the coping with stress, I just read the news and since nowadays almost all the news are positive then I am positive about the future of cryptocurrencies so my stress would be gone. Doing day trading or short term trading is stressful but if I wanted to learn then I should just bear with it so that I would improve. I just look at the positive side of things because I want to be a full time trader in the future.

I check coinmarketcap five or six times a day, I feel bad when prices go down though I am still not in loss, I cope with that easily because I see the potential  :)

I often check BTC price since I am planning to sell my holdings this month but it actually stresses me every time I see that the prices are dropping down. Every time I see that the market is in red, I frequently panic than what I used to be. I still believe that frequent checking of BTC prices won't help us but would just make us feel fearful. Have patience and everything would work out well.

crypto market were never sleep because it was trade for 24 hours and the market movement almost from every minutes were change so we should not missed the opportunities because if we too rare to see bitcoin price update then we will missed the train however currently i'm not so often checked bitcoin price because the market price were slightly better than last month but i'm watching the chart for every hours

Of course checking the price every minute will drive you nuts. Try checking it once daily. You do not have to check it that frequently because if you invested in cryptos, it is efficiently profitable in a long term basis. Try checking it weekly if you can not really resist it. As long as you invested at a cheap price, it can grow. If not and you invested when prices are particularly high, then leave it there for a year or two.
Coping is not possible if you won't restrain yourself being too doubtful. Stress could be lessen if you put your attention to other things that are worth working for.

People were expecting bitcoin to decrease more but it stopped at 5k dollars. Well, if a new investor has decided to buy bitcoin, it is still very expensive to spend 5k dollars at one time. But for those who bought bitcoin at higher value, especially between 15k to 20 dollars, that was the toughest time because apparently, the loss was a big one. However, smart investors would have bought even more bitcoin.

To be honest I stopped checking the prices since the price dropped from $20K because whenever seeing the orices it create a scary situation which may drives me to sell my coins in panic.Only check the prices often if you are a trader or just forget that you have bitcoins in your wallet soin it will give you profits in some years.

If you have invested your money into bitcoin, then you need to keep on holding all your bitcoins for some good period and that you need not to make any hurries in it. I do check the market value of the bitcoin but I do that twice in a week or so. There is no such need of checking the market value after every 5 minutes or so as this will only add up more worries and will do nothing good.

I will often calm down when checking the market. I never worry because I am very confident in bitcoin when I have invested in it. This helps me a lot and it gives me a good spirit to seek out new investments.
The spirit is very important in the trade. So learn how to adjust your mind before doing this task. ;)

I have invested in BTC and I often check prices, but I try not to worry too much about them, their prices are fluctuating frequently does not fit some people who are weak heart and do not take risks. Be confident in this market.

Well this is not good I think because price use to increase and decrease and if you will see the price down it can make you stressful and maybe you will lose your hope, if you want to keep your eyes on the market then it will be easy to for you to get profit and don’t keep on looking anymore,. If you have trading for long term then don’t worry, keep your eyes on the market but it will be good to check it every week instead of every day, as it can distract you.

Adjustments should really be done nor you should really be prepared on the things you would able to find out or seen. Prices is way too volatile on any case which when you do have an investment you will surely got stressed if you do check it every now and then.Same goes on my side where i do check out things actively not only to bitcoin but also into other investments which will give anxiety when bear markets hits you.

For me I check it daily so that I can missed the time when Bitcoin pumps up. Remember  that Bitcoin is very volatile so if you can make it at least every 3 hours of monitoring much better, to avoid profit loss. But if in case you missed it don't panic just let it in your wallet cause I assure it will bounce back again.

As long as you know how to control your emotions,it would be fine if you check if often.But in my part,i prefer to check it twice daily,in daytime and nightime.There are really times that the market is red,and it seems that the more i see the price,the more i become depressed and i'm sure this happens also to those people who also made big investments in bitcoin.

Exactly and I guess you bought bitcoin and planned to HODL it so the fluctuations will never should bother you unless you're a day trader. Checking my coins regularly is just a usual thing for me though I hold it for medium term and seeing how volatile the market made me realize that if I'm holding a stabilize coin then I'll just wake up in the morning with huge profit on my face.

To eventually cope up the stress of the swing price in the market you should keep an eye daily to be more updated of bitcoin crypto currency. Because BTC is very volatile and fluctuates everyday. Just keep calm and be patient to get out of sudden stress for an unexpected swings.

To be honest i always check the bitcoin price everyday, always when i wake up. It's like a habbit right now, if i don't check the price for a day, i will becom curious and can't think anything beside bitcoin price. Maybe it's because i hold some amount on bitcoin. I know what you feel man, it's also makes me anxious.

Well the best thing to do is dont look at the price so you wont get depress by it. Instead find some activity that will take off your mind from it like spending your valuable time earning bitcoin or do some trading. For me i just do some signature campaigns then wait for the news when the btc price is bullish once more.

If you are a long term investor their should be no stress at all as you are a long term investors and small dip does not effects you any how as market in long run will give you return and possible you can make multiple times returns  easily .

Yes, and this kind of stuffs happens to most markets once in a while.
The thing here is that every coin always has a specific time they pump in the long term and the way the market always responds after the pump, so it is indeed a normal thing to always target those periods. For those who are watching their folio and panicking when the price is going lower is absurd. Checking your portfolio main reason is to take advantage of the peak if you want to at least do some long term trading.

I usually check BTC and other interesting for me altcoins every day, if I make decision don't trade for several days - I just forgot about crypto world ;). But very often after this, I regret very much...

It depends on the type of person you are like if you are a trader then you will/have to look at the prices frequently on the other hand if you are more of an investor then checking the prices once or twice in a week is what you shall prefer(i generally prefer this).

But yes having the market awareness is important to be updated with the news so that you don't get trapped in ab ear market.

During the Bitcoin crash starting mid-January, I am tempted to check BTC price every few hours only to see it free falling down to $5,700. From there, I stopped checking them for a long while until a news popped up about the slightly recovery, only to fall once again. As of now, I only check at least once in a while (maybe once or up to three times a day) since the April tax deadline has ended that results for BTC and the others to go up again.

You should know that avoiding fear and looking for alternative activities just makes you do not understand the market and can not stabilize the psychology, sometimes you will not be able to make important decisions while you forget the market. What you should do is look at the problem in a simpler way, check the price every few hours, it will make you know the market trend but should not put too much pressure on the minds and force us to do something, comfortable and relaxed, the change that the strong in the market need a very long time, maintaining everything at normal levels, we will no longer stress

I totally understand and i do it also , it is not a good thing at all , coz when i don't watch it i feel like i have missed something , and i think if i can't stop it ,it becomes an addiction!
I think i remove bitcoin checker apps from my phone! 8)

because bitcoin prices can change at any time even every second, I always see bitcoin prices every time, every time I have time. seeing the price of all green coins alone can relieve my stress

I am not too regularly checking because I am not usually withdrawing all the funds I have, what I am doing is to make sure that when I withdrew my money it is at its peak price, well, I don't let myself stress out with the current price as I know the price now still will change.

I check the bitcoin price everyday. But I am not as stressed as you. It is not an exam. It is just a price. What keeps me calm is that I am sure that the price will grow, and even if it drops down, it will be okay for me because I believe in the potentials of bitcoin. Therefore, if you want to cope with stress, just be patient and believe in bitcoin. As you can see, the market is green now. People were like this is the end of bitcoin.

These are some of the things we will always get to deal with. This is first of all a new and small market and until we see a huge growth in the long run before we may start considering to see some level of stability but for now, there is really nothing anyone can do than to just keep holding irrespective of what is going on and stop checking the price every minute as long as they are looking forward to the future and they do not want their emotions to end up sending them out of the market.

The main idea of checking your investment once in a while is just to access them and not to panic, and there is no way it is going to be easy not getting tempted once in a while to check them. However, it is just a way to stay in tune on the situation of things while looking forward to the future. However, for those who have the tendency to panic, I would always advise there is really no need since it is going to end up giving them unnecessary emotional stress anyway.

I don't have any fixed schedule to check the price of Bitcoin.I just check when I have time. So if there is no significant changes, so I won't take a short look at its price. If the price  falls, I Will not pay attention to it

To be honest, I'm already very tired of watching the price. I keep my funds on the air and wanted to invest in Bitcoin. But as the price began to rise, I will still leave my attention to the etherium.

I sometimes check it from time to time, just to monitor the price if it's a good time to buy back and get more bitcoin. I check it too when I need to cash out, because most of my are in crypto, whenever I ran out of money I convert some of my bitcoin to fiat, but I make sure that the price is favorable.

If you want to know about me then I will say that you do not check so much, Bitcoin is a lot more volatile , If you look at it in less time you must make the head crazy.

This depends on many factors. When I was buying bitcoins with credit money, I checked the price every 5 minutes. Now, when I invest only on my own money, I check the price once a week. As they say, feel the difference.

I check it very often which leads me to a couple of times worrying about it every time the prices drop. My partner told me to get rid of checking it too much because it won't really help and I followed it. I am now just checking it whenever needed and as the market starts to recover, it always surprises me.

It is even an insensible move for someone to be checking the price every time because it is either they are expecting too much in the short term or they have gotten greedy, thereby getting anxious along the line. This is the reason why no one should ever get greedy when it comes to investing, as it is important to invest what would at least give you rest of mind.

Over time, experience will always teach everyone a lesson anyway and they may feel the value looks huge and may not even increase again now, but they'd be surprised what it may be like in few years’ time.

People obsess over the value of their coins, I cannot really blame them if you have invested a significant amount of money then it is natural to be worried and try to do everything you can to get the most profits, but at some point you need to realize that no matter what you do you need to let the market do its thing, you cannot make it grow any faster it doesn't matter how much you watch it, once you realize that it is a lot easier to not look at the market all the time.

Not only that its always been part of human nature for us to get worried because we are talking money on here which we do really value and we dont like for it to lose.Even myself cant really resist not to check out the price every now and then even i do know that i cant do nothing because market prices wont really be in a rush.If you dont like to stress out yourself then better not to look actively.

You need to relax I know that it is not easy but you need to do it, what is the point of earning a huge amount of money to your trading activities if you are stressed all the time and you eventually get sick because of it? Stress is one of the main factors that causes a lot of diseases in the long term, so learn to relax, learn what works for you maybe you can try meditation or yoga.

for me to see market prices very often will make me experience a sustained panic and now I have decided to change it and try to see the market price around only once a week and it makes me a little calm.

In fact bitcoin prices are very volatile can rise significantly even drop significantly in a short time even minutes.
So, inevitably I have to check the index chart every hour to avoid severe losses and hope to make a profit.


Stress a human thing of course ever experienced by everyone. Normal stress can have a positive impact because can help you work faster while pursuing the deadline.
But you must be careful, stress conditions can have a negative impact, if frequent and prolonged.

There are several ways to Control Stress, among others:
Spend all the burden of feeling, Sports, Meditation, Live your hobby, Live life in the present, sleep enough and always eat healthy and nutritious food. Avoid smoking, consuming alcoholic beverages and illegal drugs.

Checking bitcoin price is the stress! I would advice you do not make habit of it. There funder mental that guides bitcoin price and many other event come along that can signal to you whether to sell or buy or hold..

I have an issue too. I check my erc20 portfolio in etherscan almost every 5 minutes. In spite of its low balance, it does make me anxious and stress. Moreover, I am always holding my smartphone everytime. Usually, I cope it by playing games for awhile and watch some movies. I think we all have missed t already the bear market in Q1, so better find other good projects to invest by now.

I spend 2 to 3 hrs daily, Stress doesn't matter at all, If you love your work, you can do anytime you want. As long all things youve done makes you happy, I am always excited to check how far does my coin reach, In every fluctuation, Update is very important to anticipate the direction of the coins:)

Actually it depends on your perspective. If you're a trader, you have to check the price action every once in a while, so you would know the proper timing when to buy and sell. On the other hand, investor use the "buy and forget" method. They just buy regularly at any price levels hoping to average down, so when the market suddenly wakes up, they have somewhat lower price average and can sell it high. But  mind you guys that this only works if you got unlimited resources/money and time. Because who knows when the bearish sentiment can turn around? No one. We're just dealing with probabilities.

Normally, time and experience will always help. Most of us have been there in the past and those who really never had that problem were those who invested when it really does not have much value and no serious fluctuation since there was no market for it anyway and all they had was hope and belief that one day, things would get better. However, if those who are buying now can also have that mindset, they really would not bother about now, and they would rather focus more on the future.

Every morning i will open CMC and check the price, suppose if i plan to convert my coins to fiat that time i will keep one amount in my mind and will check multiple times per day or else will check one or 2 times per day. I know in one day the price will not increase more than 100% so once in a day is enough for me and if the price drops i will not take that much serious because I know it's common.

Well, I use to check bitcoin market value on a daily basis and not only bitcoin but others like ethereum, lisk, bitcoin Cash and some others that I have interest in buying or selling.

Upon thinking, I actually think that I check it daily, to be specific, a couple of times a day even. I do that because I want to be updated with how the market is doing. That is important to me because it helps me know which deals should I pursue and which coins should I invest in or stay away from. It pays to know the important details this market has to offer because it would be your guide to know if what you're doing is good enough to be considered business or just a Hail Mary Long Shot type of move that makes people lose their investments.

I guess it really depends on your goals. If you want to trade, then you really need to check it on a regular basis. In fact I think you should have market alerts in order to not miss a trading opportunity. On the other hand, if you just want to hold BTC then there is no reason to check it every few hours. I actually check it on a daily basis just to see how things are doing, but it's really just curiosity. I check the news to stay informed and check the price, but I have no plans on selling it really. So basically it has no effect on me, and it doesn't make me anxious.

Personally I check the CoinMarketCap almost every day, but not every hour. I look at the price of all top ranked crypto currencies, not only Bitcoin. Just don't invest in the crypto currencies too much of your money, and you won't be needed to cope with stress. Don't worry, be happy! ;)

I usually do that 1 time a day and don't feel stress at all. Just make yourself busy and will have no time to worry about the BTC rate.

It's easy to use coinmarketcap as we can see all coins that we must have, monitoring is a must in every trader to know if its the time to do selling or if there are potential coins to buy at dip.

Firstly, it is not clear why you should be nervous if you can not influence the price. Secondly, if you are engaged in trade or investment, you are obliged to monitor its price every day. Bitcoin is one of the market markers, if bitcoin become is much cheaper, then you should not expect the bull market.

  I am checking it every time and it got me to be  :o

But most people do not get is that checking is not the problem but the way you react to what you are checking is the problem. While some are always busy looking to see how bad there market is doing, I always look out for FOMO in any market I am holding and I trade that huge increase.

There is really no huge rally that does not come back testing the bottom one way or the other, but why should I buy, see a lower price when I check and then panic ? That is the problem some people always have.

There are so many investors who keep on checking the market value of the coin in which they have invested in on daily basis, in fact they keep on checking the market value after every 5 or 10 minutes. There is no such need of doing anything like that because of the reason that doing so will never result in increase in the market value of the coin and that you need to stay patient and that you need to keep your nerves under your control.

For making profits and getting rich earlier than others, one should adopt bitcoin trading and this is not my opinion but what I have learnt after watching the market for years now. Bitcoin trading appears to be difficult while it is not. The only form that can trouble a trader is day trading and that too if the person has tried to come to the top of ladder directly. BTC is a volatile coin and should be checked at least twice daily.

it's really true, when we're inside, the position of loss then when we see the btc price that continues to sink will make us crazy and stressed, and to avoid it then I start trying not to look at the price at every time and I try maximally once in week

I do not like looking at the price of bitcoin regularly. This makes me feel insecure. So one day I just searched the market price twice, this made me feel better.

I do not check it from time to time because sometimes checking it might cause stress. There's no sense on checking it if you are not trading, selling, or investing in anything in the moment. Sometimes people commit bad decision because of too much consciousness of the price.

I check the btc price daily as the usual normal routine for me. It did not bring me stress checking the btc price weekly because I serve my btc for long term hold. So usually if you are a day trader you can check price everytime so expect the fluctuations is extreme it's movement when you invest.

Usually I check it every time and when I hold my smartphone, I use bitcoin checker application, so I can see the price any time from some market and install the alarm. So I know when there is pump or dump immediatelly.

To avoid stress, don't think about it, you must be believe if bitcoin can still rise at the end of the year. Be patient.

I am not always checking it because i don't want to have a wrong move or to panic if bitcoin was dump so my alts too will follow. I let it go down or up and i am only checking the bitcoin 3x a day morning, afternoon and in the evening withoit logging in my exchange account.

I think, if you do trading, you should do it every minute. Because, if you miss anything, thats mean is you lose money. Other than that, you can set up alert what price you wonder.

I do not constantly check the price of bitcoin or altcoyin, I just set the alarm clock on the price change in the smartphone. It is very convenient and saves time. 8)

Those two factors are not mutually exclusive, you can love your job and still be stressed about it, this is especially true for jobs in which you need to use your mind, and trading is a job like that, you may love trading and you may be very good at it and you could be making a fortune and yet you could be stressed all the time because it is an activity that requires to take decisions in seconds and if you take a bad choice you could lose thousands of dollars.

I ensure I check on the price of Bitcoin at least thrice a day because I have few Bitcoins and some other Alts in my Wallets. I would not want to miss any moment of the price variations for follow up. Though it amounted to stress of mind and body truly, but I'm very much used to it  because I have my way of distempering my temperature since I believe what's gonna be shall be, so I disallow whatever way down the dump on many occasions especially this moments in question might cause to my health negatively.

If you have invested your money into bitcoin and that you have a plan of holding those bitcoins for longer term, then there is no such need to check the market value of the bitcoin on daily basis. It is a good thing to know the market value of the coin in which you have invested but there is no point of checking it after few minutes. You just need to stay calm even if the market value is falling.

For me once a day is enough to check what ut happening to yhe price of the cryptocurrency because as long as you check them akmost every hour nothings changed and they might get much falling if you did that and those things will really make you upset. Just wsut for the right time me I never look at the cryptocurrency everyday because I am waiting for the news and when you heard it to the news then go check if that is true and if ut us still falling just stay calm and focus your anger to different things.

Wise words indeed. Our reaction is what really matters. A skilled trader can make profits from pumps and dumps. He can survive under hardest circumstances with the help of his knowledge. People are afraid of dips. Whenever the market goes red, they behave like it was not even in their minds. Time never remains the same.  Simple as that so what is the use or logic of panicking out?

If you have this much of the knowledge regarding the things related to that of the trading as well as the crypto currencies that you think you will then be able to make some good earning in trading, only then go for it as trading is the most difficult thing to do and that it has a lot of risk involved in it. You need not to check the market value of the bitcoin on daily basis if you are holding your coins.

I checked the price bitcoin 2 times a day in the morning and evening before going to bed, but I was not too worried about its price. Since I have divided the investment into many different coin, all the altcoin I hold are determined to hold long term, so I do not mind too much bitcoin,

In my opinion, the best way to deal with stress is not to check the price of BTC for a long time. If you have decided to invest and hold the BTC should loose the body and should not see the BTC regularly.

You're not checking the price that much if you are a day trader, but if you are a long term trader you need to lose that feeling of urgency when you're looking at the variations of the price of bitcoin, I know it can be very difficult especially if you have invested an amount money that is important for you, but if you want to retain your sanity you will have to find a way to do it.

Based on your post, it seems that you bought high, and now hoping the price to recover, am I right? If I were you, I will study first technical analysis. Look if it's worth holding your position or it's better for your wallet and your psyche to sell it now before things get worse. Being a technician gives you all the signals to buy or sell even before any news comes out of nowhere. You just have to master your own craft. Take time to read and study charts. You will thank yourself in the future if you do so. 😊

it really depends on why you´re in the market. If you are hodling then no need to check much. Days or weeks can go by without checking. You only loose money if you sell..

I check many times throughout the day, slightly addicted to blockfolio as I have a few altcoins and you can't really leave them for a month as they can change overnight, but I do think I check far too often perhaps I have developed an addiction to blockfolio just scrolling up and down.

Depends on what’s going on in the market. It's your obligation, don't need to check when you hodl in the long term basis. I check individual coins I am involved in daily. I'm trying to stay away in bear markets.

With the help of mobile apps like coin market cap, I frequently check to see the prices almost all the times. It is not so easy seeing the coins fall but when you understand the volatility in cryptocurrencies, I think you will know how to manage the stress.

In this crypto currency fields stress takes you to a bad decision but we need a patience level for that if you had that it will give you a good hope for making good decision.

It does not make any difference in it's price, all you can do is to set an alarm using any third party app that will indicate you the price fluctuation.

Checking the price doesn't make anything to you. But coping with stress is important to take correct decissions when trading bitcoin or other altcoins. This is called self control when you cope with high stress.

Do really have this kind of addiction which i cant really resist on to check my Blockfolio since i do have some several altcoin holdings where i do really really check it out when theres a pump and as you said you cant really leave them for a month because anytime they do really have the tendency to pump which you would really need to check out because you would really need to take profits.

The question is at what price you bought. If you just bought for hold it, it's enough to check it once a week and check every 2-3 hours it's too often. If you are trading, this is a different situation. The price must be constantly monitored.
You have to understand, if you bought for hold, then multiple checks just make you constantly nervous. If you bought BTC to sell at a certain price, then just put a take profit (or a stop loss for re-insurance) and sleep peacefully!

I check my portfolio 3-4 times a day, I don't feel stress. I used to play poker for 6 years, it is more stressful.

I trade on the stock exchange. In order not to control prices constantly, I use the stop-loss. To avoid stress, do not sit near the monitor. If you bought more coins, and their price is now lower, just wait.

These days I try not to check any cryptocurrency price any more, It is depressing to see bitcoin such that , And every altcoin price depends on it , I changed some of my money to USDT for relieving , I just wait for bitcoin to break 10k then I check it again .

I think the frequency with which we check it, the less we watch, the more we become the winners haha. I really think so haha.

use alerts

I check prices several times per day. And yes, bearing market turn me into a little (or not little :) stress.
How to cope with it? Best way is to relax and draw your attention on something else - hobby, friends, rest, sleep)) but better of all that help to beat stress - is spending time with wife and daughter.

I just put all the funds in ledger nano s and leave it in home - so there is no reason to check it every minute, coz anyway have no way to sell it immediately

I check it up to 10 times a day but I cannot say it causes any depression. Depending on the market situation and Bitcoin price I am working out the best strategies that let me earning and not losing.

Lastly I always checked the Bitcoin price because I am overwhelmed with the value and it was amazing but today I seldom checked the market price's because I don't want to get affected with the current value though it may seems that everyone was affected because whatever may happen on the value of bitcoin this would affect the value of the altcoin too.

Well it think it is not good to check the price all the time, because it can be rise and fall but If you will go for long term trading then you will not have to keep on checking the price all day long, keep on looking at market can cause depuration for you as sometimes price get down so much so weak hearten people can get heart attack for being scared to that huge lose, but if you are an experienced one you will be able to face the situation, but try not to keep on looking all the time, but in day trading it means a lot to keep your eyes on market.

Bitcoin is being used by most of the investors for the sake of holding it for longer term and that if you are also doing the same thing, then there is no such need to go for checking the market price of the bitcoin after some time and that too on daily basis. You need to stay calm and that go for checking the market rates once a week and that if the rates are falling, even then do not panic.

avoiding stress are very relevant to take for cause you have to make some patient even you have seen this in a price that you may have to panic with stay calm and be lesson learned for some people that are been failed here for.

And it depends if I hold a coin that will use for day trade but if not once a day will be enough. The fact that the more we check the more we tend to panic so it would be nice if we just spare ourselves looking to it. Honestly, when the market is really dump I temporary uninstall my blockfolio and just install it when the market gets calm.

I check coinmarketcap 20 times a day. I do this not from emotions, but to control prices, because I am also a trader.

It is no doubt very much important to keep a check on the market value of the coins which you are having so that you may have a fair idea of the market but is useless to check the market value of the coin 5 times a day or even more than that and that too at time when you are into long term investment of money. Stay calm and do not do anything which can result in making you upset.

Yes. It is not actually about the price checking, as I check price everyday so as not to miss the huge fluctuation for some of the coins I may be holding or to make some good market decisions. I usually buy markets at dip anyway when everyone is scared and already sold out and it simply looks like no one ready to sell anymore and as a long term trader, I already know when I should be stopping loss which most of the time, they hardly hit.

As long as you know how to limit the risk, you should always be fine, but lack of knowledge about the market, what some people really want from the market and so on, are some of the things that makes them base emotion when checking prices.

Yeah, I also use blockfolio on my phone to monitor all my long term investments. As long as you do not have the short term mentality or you are not a trader, the essence of monitoring your portfolio is just to see how your investments are doing, and that is normal.

Even in the real world, when you have an investment, will you just want to close your eye towards it ? No. However, how you react is not based on your knowledge and since you know in the short term, the market can be crazy, then you may have already fashioned that out even before investing.

every day and even every minute you should also check because bitcoin prices always change every second, so must be monitored at any time because if you missed you will regret pas price up.

if you are getting stressed it definitely over invested than your capability, which you shouldnt have done

 blockfolio is really helpful it is really a big help application that is really helpful to us in monitoring the price for us not o become stress about droping, we can really used it anytime anywhere of the day. It is really amazing. For me we can really avoid stress of we are going to check anytime about the price.

I used an Android app "Bitcoin checker"
It gives you option for different exchanges( approximately all)
Select your exchange then place a price alert in it
It will alert you when that price reached
I found it really a good app for Bitcoin price Alert
But there are so many other apps available also
Choose whatever you like

Personally, I try to invest bitcoin not trading.

If you're trading , it means that you will see bitcoin value every minutes because you want to make quick profit !
Since bitcoin value still volatile, I'm understand how do you feel when bitcoin trading so that's why I try to invest for long term !

http://bitcoinist.com/3-icos-huge-potential-2018/

I invest in some hood altcoins. And i practice not to checked the price of my altcoins two to three days or longer. And i think its not good for me if i will check it hourly or daily.

It will better to place an alert on portfolio application so we don't need to check the price daily which will be a waste of time and may disrupt our plan. Checked the price regularly will give a stress to us.

I see the market condition is not too often I just see when I'm not doing a lot of activity, meaning that when I'm no activity I usually see the price at the exchange, to cope with stress I will just sleep.

I was initially used to checking the price of Bitcoin almost every 5 minutes. I was so obsessed about the price- the pumps and dumps but I have put a top to it now. I do check it about every 2-3days and sometimes until a week so that I don't get downhearted when it dumps

Just really a normal act to be done by a certain investor even not just only on long term investors or traders but also into shorter ones which they do commonly used up this app for monitoring prices actively specially when they are away in front of their pc on making up active trades and talking about long term we cant really resist on not to check out even myself because i might missed a 10x-30x increase. No one knows but you surely regret if that happen and you missed out on selling.

I am wondering whether the market can rebind in late 2018 or whether prices remain the same. I tried a lot of times when I saw the price of bitcoin rise a bit and then went down sharply, and that made me feel depressed.

It is even good that these days, you can easily just download some applications like blockfolio on your phone so as to monitor how your investments are doing if you are in the long term of things, but as a trader most of the time, you should always be ready to not want to miss the situation of the market most of the time and would want to monitor how things are doing. The thing with trading is that you are more focused on the short term than the long term and that simply affects how you want to be making your decision as well in the market.

Checking the price won't be a problem for any of us as long as we have internet connection. As a trader, I always check the market prices of cryptos that I have because I need to. In fact, it already become a habit of mine to check the prices everyday most especially the price of bitcoin.

It is true that it is very stressful to see the prices at dump but as trader, we all have to accept whatever the shown digits are. We can't do anything to change no matter how much we want the price to be high.

A whole lot! You will definitely feel stressed only if you do not have it in mind that it is a pretty volatile market or may be if you are an inexperienced investor who bought at the top and focusing on the short term benefit.

Market is always ahead of everyone and as long as you are not trading, you should be more focused on the long term of the coins or tokens you are holding than the current situation they are in as that would make it easy to feel less stressed even when the market is not doing well.

Nowadays I changed my strategy and now I am checking once or twice a day. Before that it was may be hourly even if it is not important night or day time it is

Everyday I always check the orice of xourse maybe the price have gina crazy again I always need to know it because I have a bitcoin holding but everyday it disappoints me because there is kothing happen in the price it is just getting up and down with the same range the same ratio the price is more likely stable if you will think of it. So of course that is linda stressful but whenever I feel that thing I always stay away from looking at the price just I do some different things that make me calm like watching a movie

I don't look or check the prices very often because as for me that would just bring me a lot of stress specially when the prices are low or when the market is down. Check it when your in the mood to check and when you're ready to handle your emotions.

Trying to check prices 2-3 times a day,  especially in the morning.
But when i first gor into crypto, ive been checking the price 10 times per hour hoping for a quick growth
So if youre trying to get less stress, convince yourself, that its a long investment

10 times per hour is small compared to how often most newbies check theirs. I really do not bother with bitcoin price anymore except when I need to exchange it to fiat. That's when I check it countless times. Otherwise I only check it just only in the money through some apps before going out.

I do the checking on my bitcoin two to three times a week to avoid being stress.We all know that bitcoin price is volatile so to avoid being stress don't check your bitcoin all that time

It is not good to take more stress about It and keep on checking the market all the time, those who are keeping eyes on market can get more chances but it is ok to check once a day, keep on checking the price can give you headache as price rise and fall all the day so you can get confused with it. So it will be good to check it once or twice a day, it will fine and will not be hectic for you.

Perhaps every psychologist, often check the altcoin you are holding, but often under psychological pressure when prices drop. It's a common illness that we need to relax so it's not too stressful, so it will affect our health, so I'm also trying to reduce the concern about BTC prices. Less see the BTC price.

I agree with you . To reduce the fear when the market goes down, we should not often see the price. But when this is the case, you should place buy and sell orders first. Because you do not often check the market, this is not good for investors.

I usually check btc price once or twice daily. It is very stressful to check bitcoin price often. I avoid checking btc price, as it is not required.

if my aim is to hold for long-term then i will check the prices once in a day but if i trade daily it is stressful to keep checking prices

Well I don’t think so there is any problem with it. Everyone who have invested in something would be curious about results. And to achieve good results he must be checking the price again and again so that he never miss such important update at any time. But this must be done with maturity and you would keep your mind sharp but relax. Don’t take it over your mind to blow it.

I was very upset because I have put some of my funds in bitcoin, originally it was on ethereum but I just put a little amount. Seeing my money go down day by day is what really makes me upset. That is why I seldom check bitcoin's price by now and I just have a positive insight that bitcoin will then grow in long term. Good thing is most of my funds are in ethereum and I somehow get profits when its price rises. I can easily cope up with stress by avoiding it, how?  I just don't mind my bitcoins and I rarely check them so that I will have less expectations.

I must admit, sometimes I'm a serial swiper! I do check blockfolio on regular intervals. I don't trade that much though and I tend to hold long term.

You can always check bitcoins price at coinmarketcap.com, those people who are stressed about bitcoins are those who are holding a huge amount of coins but still you can always wait fir the price to increase before trading in order to reduce your stress and pressure by just waiting.

Before now I use to check bitcoin price on daily basis when its value was above $8000 but now that the value of bitcoin is currently below $7500 I only check price any time I receive payment from people I do business with here in the forum and outside of this forum.

to see and determine the bitcoin price is you can see from some news in the media or in bitcoin.com if there is good news then bitcoin can go up and when there is bad news then bitcoin will collapse its price.

Despite the fact, that the market is falling, I can't stop watching graphics and price every single hour. It's an addiction, very strong one!

Before I check btc every minute but it made me feel disappointed that btc are falling so decided to check it once a day because btc is more stable now than before and accept that falling is a normal process in crypto world  but btc will surely pump because many still believe in btc.

better to check bitcoin price once a day.so we can see comparation power between seller and buyer that representated in daily chart.looking chart every minutes actually bad for our psychology, even while market going crash.

I do not see too many bitcoin prices because I think too often see bitcoin prices will actually make your mental easily disturbed and easily affected by bitcoin price conditions and some bad news that tries to knock down the price of bitcoin.

only check it once every month or so.  The price will always go up in the long run.  Your not donig yourself any favors by causing yourself stress because you check the prices every 2 minutes.

I've been using my coins.ph wallet for e-loading services and bill payments everyday.As much as I would not like to see the price of bitcoin, I can't avoid to take a glimpse into it since everyday I'm doing transactions on paying bills and mobile loads.And to avoid stress when seeing the price is dropping slowly,I just train myself to believe that this bearish market is just temporary and there's nothing to worry about because anytime bullish market will take place.

I see daily market price movements because I make short-term investments so as often as I can check the market, in dealing with stress if the market is red, I do a free coin search on some sites that offer free coins.

The main thing is that your choice for investment is really promising, rather than risk distressed or too new coins that can play a cruel joke with you. Although in any case, if your investment in the airwaves and Bitcoin will bother you, then it's much easier to cope with this.

I am not checking the prices very often because sometimes as the prices drop down it also affects us emotionally that we sometimes do panic selling without thinking about it first. We should just keep calm during the red days of the market and just stay positive.

On 2017 I spent 2 - 3 times a day to check the price of bitcoin on the market and yes that was a stressful especially when the price slump.
Now I only look the market 3 times a week, but if the market begins to crash again then I stop looking at the market for days until everything recovers because that can brought a feel of anxious. ;D

I check bitcoin price more than 10 times every day. In crypto I believe in being abreast of latest development so I can choose my next move tactfully. The current dip is quite distressing but we have seen bitcoin recover from worse dips.

I'm not always checking it the price in the market i just continue what I'm doing buying and hold if it's needed. I don't want stress my self about the price because it brings me  impatience decisions. So that's why I never check the market price.

I look at it on a longer timeframe and a log scale.  Helps to ease much of the anxiety

This year is completely a cruel experience for bitcoin users and investors. I thought I was going back to my normal routine like checking crypto 3x a day because of the effect of Consensus but it did not so I avoid looking at it for a while until now because it is giving me too much stress.

 I did it too when the price of btc still up.
Not in recently..
Because watching market in lower price just make me sad.
I am holding some coins, so when btc is down, absolutely many coins are down too.
That's why i Seldom to check it any more.
I just want to check it if i heard the price is getting green.

This is the way to go when you don't want to have stress. For those trading daily, they do not have a choice but to look at the price always because it has a big effect on how they are going to trade but if you are an investor then better log out from exchange or sites related to bitcoin for some time to avoid stress. Some people even uninstall their apps related to cryptocurrency like blockfolio because they are frustrated when they are looking the bloody prices. Do what you love to cope with stress like playing sports perhaps or watch a movie and let your mind be out of crypto thoughts once in a while. Go out and maybe travel with your family.

I do not see too many bitcoin prices because honestly I have a job in the real world so do not often see the condition of the price in the exchange place, if I always see the place of exchange then my work will be disturbed.

There is a very simple way to help you solve this problem it is: "Don't check when BTC down price"
And combined with that is using a BOT to notify you when the BTC up price
You will know when the Green trading floor and back, then try to forget about it

I check the price once a day and sometimes late at night. Because in the morning I calculate the profit and loss in my investment and sometimes at night. If you have invested for long time there is no need to check the price daily or many times in a single day because by this way you will increase your headache and nothing else. Leaving for some time is good to cope with stress.

I often check the price of bitcoin and some other altcoin increase or decrease, about 1 hour I turn on Blogfolio and check them. I feel that it is a pretty meaningless thing but it has become accustomed to that. Given the current market situation I think it will take a long time to bitcoin and market recovery and I hope BTC will soon return to 20k usd

Depending on what I am doing in the market at a giving time,  I do not bother to check my long term holding regardless of the price.  My daily trading is however different,  I have to check prices to be sure my trading is in order!

Due to the depressing bear market i have stopped looking at blockfolio as it just makes me feel worse than i already do! I used to check it several times a day but haven't done in days. I'll wait for better news first

I do not really see the price of bitcoin at the exchange because I think if I see too much bitcoin prices will actually make my mental to be very disturbed because it will be easily influenced by the talk of others even affected by the game that has a very much capital that is able manipulating prices.

With the situation of the market right now,  I suggest that stop looking at it from time to time.. Once a day is ok..  But if its stressing you out then stop looking at it. Maybe 3x a week is good,  do your best to do something else and not focus on what is happening with crypto currency. 

I do not really see the bitcoin price conditions too often, I only see bitcoin prices and market conditions when I have spare time only, if I do not have spare time I will not see exchange places and bitcoin prices because I have a lot of work that I have not finish.

Yeah long term investors have no need to check the price daily but still they do because if they do not want to sell even then they check the price on daily basis to know how they earn and lost. I think daily checking the price increase headache and it should not be done because crypto investment should be for long term or you can trade if you want quick results.

If you are the one who has planned for long term holding of the bitcoin, then I don’t think so that there is any such need of checking the market value of the bitcoin after every hour as this won’t change your decision of holding your coins. It is a good thing to keep an eye on the crypto market but there is no such need to check the market value this much frequently. You can check it once in a week or so.

Last year i was checking it few times a day. But after this dump to 6500 and hodling all of shitcoins it cured. now maybe once a week. ;D
waiting and hodling. Without any hope in nearest time, but to autumn maybe

I often check btc price, see it up or down to invest it. This regular checking feeling tired. I use androi app and set the alert and set the command.

I am always online. additionally, I have installed on my smartphone a special application that shows me the prices of the cryptocurrency regularly. I do not feel any stress if I see that the market is falling.

every time i check the prices, it always feels like i should have withdraw my money to usd. the stress is adding everyday. i was hoping the rise of prices last months are going to continue but didn't. i bought more eth at $602 now it drop to $480. sucks. but since i'm seeking a better future for myself that one day i can move to another place with all the riches i got from btc, i will hold.

I check it regularly. I am sure that if you monitor the charts, you can predict the prices of the cryptocurrencies. if I see that they crypto is falling, it does not depress me.

Everyday I am checking the price of the bitcoins of course because I am monitoring it maybe they rise up and I needed to sell or not. But once is enough to check the bitcoins price because theybwill never go 20k in an hour that is nearly impossible. And to cope up with the sttess of course do not let your emotion drive you always thinknof a way to get out like for example you are feeling the stress then do some other things for you to forgot and for yourind to chill

Once a month is bad, of course, but checking the charts every few hours is also extreme stress.
I would recommend monitoring the price once a day (that's what I actually do) or twice a day (morning-evening) if you are a short-term trader.

If you have invested money in bitcoin then you will check the price from time to time. it is not possible to restrict yourself from checking the price again and again if you have invested some money in bitcoin, i do check the price after every half an hour and that is what i have become use to with it, i do not think that it is creating stress if you have already gain some experience in bitcoin investment and trading.

Regularly checking the value of Bitcoin and the coins you invest will make you feel very anxious and unable to focus on anything else. I've experienced it and I really do. This. I choose to hold long term potential coins and often do not care too much about the volatility of the market so my psychology was much better.

I know it is stressful doing that. This stress can be avoided by investing in long run. Once you are a long run investor, you would have the freedom to escape the regular checking of the charts and would worry about the prices only when it is boom. But in boom, you would only deal with the profit if you are a long run investor. It has been a history in the crypto trading that almost all the millionaires and billionaires are the long term investors.

According to my habit I usually go to see the bitcoin price whenever I'm free. I am very afraid every bitcoin down. I often see the bitcoin price on coinmarketcap.com or on the binance where I traded

I'm at the computer all day long, and also I have an application on my phone with which I'm always aware of the prices for bitcoins. But I don't look it there every minute or hour. I can check the price in the morning and sometimes in the evening. I think everyone needs to cope with emotions and just wait. Judging by some forecasts the rise is waiting for us only in the autumn. So now it makes no sense to waste one's nerves and worry.

I always check it everyday,every hour, every minute before. But now I am stuck on my bitcoin trade and waiting for the price to go up again. It is kinda lonely to know that you are not profiting on bitcoin because I think many of us has decided to enter the crypto world to earn money. I still believe that the price will go up again, just HODL.

In my opinion, the best way to deal with stress is not to check the price of BTC for a long time. If you have decided to invest and hold the BTC should loose the body and should not see the BTC regularly!!!

Actually if a person is investing money in bitcoin for long term, then he do not need to check the price from time to time, he can only wait for a long time, but if a person is a day trader then he need to and will check the price from time to time, because bitcoin price is too much volatile and anyting can happen at any time.

I just check the value of btc when needed. I have learned that checking the prices frequently though it is not needed much might not help us but would just result to incertain and wrong decisions. Frequent checking is quite helpful but it is stressful during this dip.

I always monitor the value of bitcoin everyday before and you are right,everytime I see bitcoin's value keeps crashing down made me panic and feel stress. But I realized cryptocurrency market value is unpredictable so I have nothing to do now than just wait for the right time to achieve my goal and gain enough profit for my investment.

I do not check the bitcoin price a lot, maybe about once a week or so. it's one of my ways to get rid of stress and avoid panic because I choose how to hold or long-term investments.

To cope with stress is only for patience people because it is crypto market and emotional people have nothing in this world. Checking price is no problem. Those people also check the price that has no investment in bitcoin. The matter is to hold your coins in this time and for this you will need patience and the best way is to forget about your holding for some time.

About once a week to test the bitcoin price and crypto market. But recently I did not test the bitcoin price when the bitcoin price dropped to $ 6200. Maybe I will check bitcoin prices in December

At the moment I have always checked the market everytime I have my free time because of course I wanted to become updated and a lot of knowledge about the current situation of the cryptocurrencies. This was so unpredictable that's why I didn't dare myself to make any predictions about cryptocurrency market.

Twice every day. It's not healthy to check it 10times a day. Your mind needs rest from that bs. Anyway for me BTC is a long-term investment so even if I don't check the price all day, which is highly unlikely, it's not of a big deal.

How often? I can't count how many times but let me give you an idea how I check the price of Bitcoins.

On my smartphone I downloaded Blockfolio to check how my bags are doing and every time I hold my smartphone I think I dont miss to hit the icon of Blockfolio.

In my office I have a desktop computer and once I open Google Chrome it will open 4 sites, our company website, my private email, Cryptocompare (where I entered all my Crypto assets to check if its up or down) and Preeve.

I have my laptop with me so I can check my work email even on the run or at home. The Google Chrome settings are the same, it opens to the 4 sites I mentioned above.

Yap it is now so easy to know bitcoin price in real time as we wish, we can set the updating time of the application to give us the updated price of bitcoin with a notification or even an alarm. So checking manually is not even recommended anymore as it takes more time to do it. I'm using local exchange application to check bitcoin price as it is showing the price in local fiat as well so I do not need to calculate :). Regarding how often, I set the application to give a notification every 15minutes which is enough for me to help me for trading purpose.

I check it several times a day. Monitoring the market constantly, I manage to create my own graphs of the cryptocurrencies prices. I cannot say that I am depressed when the price of the crypto is falling.

If you are hodling your coins, it is better not to check price frequently. Instant movements on price may cause to sell early. I am usually check my portfolio every week-end then close the screen and keep dreaming :)

I check barely now, i used to check the price every single min in jan and feb but now i have realised that seeing the price daily wouldn't make any difference and it's not like if i watch it the price is suddenly going to increase. Now all i do is wait for that one moment when i can start trading again and make profit

I have long given up my investment in Bitcoin and today I do not care about the price of Bitcoin. But nevertheless, I realize that it is the price of Bitcoin that greatly influences the crypto-currency market.

Just don't put more than you can afford to lose with a smile. Or cash out some if it makes things that bad. Doesn't makes sense to check it every hour.

I check bitcoin prices every day and usually in the morning. If I see bitcoin prices and crypto market drop, I will go fishing to deal with stress.

I check it as often as it comes to my mind to check. I can even check it about twenty times in a day or more than that, and I check it everyday (except when I don’t remember to do so. And it’s always good to be checking the price of Bitcoin regularly so you don’t miss a thing, you never know when things happen, so it’s good to be at alert.

So far 2 a days is OK. But when the market goes too crazy, I can check the price every spare minute. And it really drives me mad...
As for managing the stress, tlking to non-crypto dudes helps. They don't understand my problems, I don't understand theirs. Perfect!

almost every time I check the market price, especially bitcoin in a few hours of decline and the increase always happens even though in the end the price back down quite disappointing but I still hope the price will get better for any reason and I will continue to invest in bitcoin.

Usually after buying it, I will set alerts to inform me via sms if there are any major movements, otherwise I will try to not look for one month.
Sometimes big news happens regarding bitcoin and I will check the price out to ensure everything is ok.

I installed an app on my smartphone where it shows bitcoin prices on my homescreen, in other words I often see the btc price, even though I'm not so stressed, maybe because I do not see the whole crypto market, there are some crypto coins that I hold and in making the analysis I also do not often use the value of btc. when I'm stressed I just hear my favorite song and sleep, I also sometimes go to look for new atmosphere either to the beach or to the mountains so that the mood is always good.

You need to understand that the market always goes up and down. That is why I never feel stress when I see the price of bitcoin drop.

They way I deal wit it is when I am at a loss, I don't even look for days. Most crashes take a few weeks to recover. Just put it away and live your life. Think of it a sa long term thing.

yep thats it. everyone is not stress at all because we already know that that is the nature of cryptos , including bitcoin.  

however i must confess that i love checking the price more often and that gives me a good feeling whenever i see that most of my holdings are on green. but if ever i got stress due to being unlucky or wrong decisions made when trading a crypto , i do only accept it ( i only accept the fact that i did loose and i just started to move on immediately) . thats what i usually do in order to cope up with the stress.

Exactly. And one thing if you for long term is that market crashes won't affect you that much if you have a long term target. You'd simply be a spectator watching people going nuts and losing money until the time you're well within reach of your target

Yeah, why would you check BTC price every hour, that's a waste of time. I mean even if the prices start going up or down they're not going to jump or drop so quickly that you're going to miss a chance to sell or buy.

I do not like looking at the price of bitcoin regularly. This makes me feel insecure. So one day I just searched the market price twice, this made me feel better.

I usually get to check the price because I want to be updated and learn how to manage volatility specially when you're engaged into trading or investment, and what's the best strategy to apply and stick with. Through regular checking in price, I learned how to be more aware, accept the reality that it's part of the industry, be hopeful, and be patient. To overcome stress is no easy task, but we should deal with it constructively, and not dwell on it too much because it won't make us grow, it would only lead to unproductivity.

I do not see too many bitcoin prices because I see bitcoins have uncertain harass and will always move up and down no one can predict better bitcoin prices you just need to play by opening buy order and sell order just to be more secure.

Since I am planning to invest in crypto especially in bitcoin and ethereum, I usually check BTC and ETH price from time to time with my coins.ph wallet.And because of its volatility, I'll just keep in my mind always that when market price is down,I told myself this shall pass because it is only temporary.I'll just stay calm and relax,go with the flow and enjoy the ride.

i used to check my bitcoin ever hour i can say but now i started to make more stress and the best way to cope with stress is not looking so much and doing also other things not just staying at home.

It depends, if you are a day trader, then you will have to check almost every hour, or even less. However, for long term investors, I will say a weekly check-in is great, and because you are a long term investor, the stress is is waaay less. What people need to realize is that the more long term investors there are, the more HODLing occurs, an the more confidence behind BTC.

that is really helpful. It is better idea for those who are sensitive to stress and often be more disturbed with even so little points. So better is to make yourself busy with something that is new to you. For that you wouldn’t be able to think much about this stressful thing and all your attentions would just be forced to that single activity. Do try it but better is to make your mind strong.

You need to find an equilibrium if you are not a bitcoin trader you do not really need to check the price of bitcoin every few hours but it is also not recommend to not watch the price for a long time since you will miss important movements in the market, I check the price only once a day if I'm not trading and that is more than enough to give me an idea where the price is going to be for the next 24 hours.

when I open my laptop and open this forum I check bitcoin price and just one time in 24 hours. I think one time checking is enough because now the price is normal and the huge pump and dumps has been recovered. I have little bit experience now that the price will remain the same or little bit correction but not much difference will occur in hours.

No more than once a day since the crush as I'm growing anxious to see it starting to recover. The way I deal with stress is by thinking long term as BTC has got to reach at least 50 grand, so its a long term investment really. And like any investor I don't invest more than I can afford.

late at December was the right time for checking the price seriously, but it is a matter of money and greed is the human nature. Most people said that the price will grow more in 2018 and that why people didn’t sold their holding and lost their money due to huge fall in the coming months. I check the price normally and not every time in a day.

I don’t think you should have a number of times for you to be checking the price charts of Bitcoin. I will suggest thdat you continue to check the price of cryptocurrencies as much as your heart  reminds you to. Just trust your heart and keep on checking whenever you think. You should, even if it’s up to a hundred times in a day lol.

Blockfolio is a great app for checking prices and staying in the loop. Although I don't think it's necessary to check the prices every time you get your phone but it's possible.  ;D

I will often calm down when checking the market. I never worry because I am very confident in bitcoin when I have invested in it. This helps me a lot and it gives me a good spirit to seek out new investments.

Easy way to check BTC to USD in Google and in 5 seconds you will see the price. I look two times a day like medicine because I am very keen in bitcoin up and down. I daily count how much I lost and how much I won this day. Many people check bitcoin price daily no matter they invest in bitcoin or not. Everyone is interested in future cryptocurrency.

The fact is that for me personally, the crypto currency is the only real income and an opportunity to replenish the home budget. It is thanks to the crypto currency that I live financially. So I always check the price of Bitcoin.

That's why I'm keeping it as a side job.
If you're dependent on crypto then it's understandable that you check it as frequently as possible and in time it gets tiresome.

if you may based for the current situation of on how are you able to make some earning through online this is one of the best way of on how are you can be able to make some money online and be careful on scam and hackers but overall for all online business this is what i have to trust for.

Coping with stress is very easy, just stop every hour look at the quotes of coins. Find an occupation that will distract you from the cypto currency and then you will stop worrying so much.

If we do have investments on bitcoin or on other altcoins in the market we would really normally check our prices specially when we do make active trades then its normal for us to do such act.Bitcoin did give opportunity on most of us to help up with some expense on our daily living (including myself). but sometimes it cant really be avoided that you wont able not to be stressed when it comes to declining prices of the entire market and into bitcoin itself.

Affective trading in needed for making more and more money and checking the price again and again. I check the price only once in a day and that’s enough. I concentrate mostly over profitable trading because I want to earn money in less time. I cannot wait for long and affective trading is the way of earning big money in shorter time.

Just set your buy and sell order then leave it yeah ... You don't need to check the price continuously, it would only make you under pressure , trade like there's nothing to lose , believe me you'll get positive outcome most of the times , once a week or twice a week are a normal thing .

As for me, checking the price of bitcoin so often might just affect us emotionally. It is still better that we know how to handle our emotions when it comes to our hodlings. The market is not perfect and we might face lapses but through right handling of our emotions, we would be able to do things right.

Your method is probably to help us limit pressure and mistakes in panic situations but in return, it also revealed a lot of disadvantages, that is you check the price not often, sometimes you will not be able to make decisions in the necessary situations because you have no observation and presence there. You can not always rely on set up buy and sell orders, your personal activity in the market will still be more efficient than the automatic, I think people should face often with pressure, should not flee or forget, in harmony with the market and observe more, the pressure will no longer

My friend was telling me today that I may have problems if I keep on refreshing coinmarketcap every time and after go through this thread I find out that many of us are doing this.
Investing into cryptocurrencies is very risky and that is why some of us that has investments in it are stressful when the market is going down.

Whenever you buy any coins you should make it to the point that you really do your research, so after you place your entry you can leave it there and wait for your target value to be hit, this type of short-mid trading strategy are always good for those who knows the drill, its hard to make money and its really stressful when it comes to trading, so make sure that you have strong foundations and you know how to play with your hold coins, make sure to do your homework to protect your investment.

Well it will give you experience but for low patient people it is full of stress, so I think we should not keep on looking at the market all the time, price now is rising more and more so try to buy some coin, soon the market will get correct and price will get too high, so the price of bitcoin will be more than double to don’t sell just keep on holding.

You can always earn a lot of profit if you are optimistic about the market price that it will grow even more in the future, investing today will give you advantage because the market price is currently dropping.

I wanna advise you should not check the BTC price frequently. that makes you confused to give decisions. If you trade or invest any coins, you just focus on its project, product and its team. Dont waste your time to check BTC price.

With the current market situation I rarely see or check the market and maybe in one day I only check it once and only seconds to see it .. because I am very concerned if the market situation looks red and all the coins down drastically .. and now I just hold it and waiting for the market miracle to recover and improve again ..

I am not checking the prices very often because sometimes as the prices drop down it also affects us emotionally that we sometimes do panic selling without thinking about it first. We should just keep calm during the red days of the market and just stay positive.  :D

every time I always check the bitcoin price because it affects my trading, I always check the market often because I do not want to lose my chance to sell it.

It depends,when the bitcoin keeps falling,as much as possible i want to forget it. This kind of investment,Always keep in mind that you can afford to lose.
But when the bitcoin is rising -falling-rising i check it everyday because i want to monitor the market for the right timing to exit and in.

I used to check on price movement like every 2hrs in a day..nowadays i go days without bothering to check..i guess when u r more of a day trader you tend to check on price more often than say someone who is a hodler.

I think that the more you examine the bitcoin price, the more stress and fatigue you will experience, and the more likely you will make the wrong decision, so I think that at this point we Limit your entry into the chart and allow yourself time to relax and do other tasks. The market is in the downtrend phase so you should limit the transaction.

I thinks mostly,in my idol time i check the price value of bitcoin in coin market caps,but when i look up the value thats going down,i fell hurt and discourage,but after this i recover easily and tell my self thats all of this is only a temporary because i know  thats after this bearish market theres a prosperity  coming and this the things that we  called a bullish market,and this things i've always thinking in order to make my self stay positive perspective.

I do refresh https://coinmarketcap.com three to four time daily to know the position of thinks. those that buy bitcoin at the right time always have their stress reduce as their will always be in profits. nowadays i go days without bothering to check..i guess when u r more of a day trader you tend to check on price more often than say someone who is a hodler. But when the bitcoin is rising -falling-rising i check it everyday because i want to monitor the market for the right timing to exit and in.

I really  don't check my portfolio everyday,  I simply set an alarm to keep track of my portfolio  for massive decrease  in worth or increase  in worth. So,  if my portfolio  requires immediate attention  due to the nature of the alarm, I will just login and do what means to be done.

I can think, from my own experience, the more rare you check the prices the more calm you keep yourself. But if the price jumps significantly, and you haven't spotted it, it can cause a serious emotional problems Smiley  :)

I agree that it's much better to check prices as fewer times as possible. You're constantly under stress when prices aren't as you hoped it would be.

Check the price rarely will help us to avoid panic and there are applications that able to give us an alert whenever the price of our tokens hit the appropriate value in our settings. With such applications we won't miss the opportunity.

I check the price only when it's necessary. Deal with the stress could be really hard, but things gets better as you gain experience in the cryptocurrencies ecosystem.

I check it on a daily basis,  but not every hour,  mostly whenever I wanna buy some altcoins I do check the chart to see if there's gonna be a movement,  because if it pumps much or dump much it's gonna affect the price of altcoins 

The psychological thinking is the more we have monitored every bitcoin movement and we are not in marginal trade will have a bad effect particularly when we saw it from minute to minute falling unlike you are checking it every 3-4 hrs to know the trend of possible candles in next hours.

There is a very simple way to help you solve this problem it is: "Don't check when BTC down price" And combined with that is using a BOT to notify you when the BTC up price. You will know when the Green trading floor and back, then try to forget about it.

I do not usually check the price because im focusing on how to earn more, price is just a number if you know how to have more coins. Checking price will always makes you stress if you are a holder so it is better to keep it and let tne time goes by.

if you use a computer for work, then apparently the bot will help you very well to monitor the market. But what are the possibilities for a user who uses a device with the Android operating system for trading?

Some time i don't even check market at all, i even haven't checked market for more than a week. Just get yourself busy in other things and you wouldn't feel stress.

I mostly check bitcoin price once a day because I think it is enough. There is no need to check the price several times in a day. There are no huge pumps and dumps in the price on daily basis. If the price falls it will increase your headache. To avoid this headache don’t check the price every minute as many people do. It is just in vain and will not reduce your tension.

I only check btc price once a day or maybe every other day. It is less stressing especially if the price is going down. Now Im planning to check it twice a week or maybe once a week to avoid stress. I cope up with stress by thinking that the price will soon go up and everything will just follow.

I for the most part check bitcoin cost once per day since I think it is sufficient. There is no compelling reason to check the value a few times in multi day. There are no immense pumps and dumps in the cost on regular schedule. On the off chance that the cost falls it will expand your cerebral pain. To stay away from this cerebral pain don't check the value each moment the same number of individuals do. It is simply futile and won't decrease your pressure.

Yes if it's for me personally. I check the Btc price every day as a normal normal routine for me. It does not make me stress checking the weekly Btc price because I am serving my Btc for the long term. Because Btc is now more stable than ever and accepts that fall is a normal process in the world of kriptocurrancy but Btc will definitely pump as much as possible because people still believe in Btc.

I check bitcoin price regularly like almost everyday to keep my eye on its price. Anytime its price my increase and I want to be updated everytime. As for the stress. I don't think I get stressed often. Stress causes sickness and will just make me look older and I don't want  it to happen so I just make sure that I keep myself be optimistic.

Yeah for a lot of people, seeing the volatility first hand can make you go bonkers. Especially if you're holding a coin that plunging in value. It may lead people to making very bad decisions

if today the market starts to show a good performance a little, it can provoke a certain excitement and many will rush to sell their coins. Of course, this will negatively affect the entire crypto-currency market and we will see the bottom again.

I'm having the same situation with you. I can check the bitcoin price even every hour when i'm not busy and i also monitor the price movement of ethereum too. If I do trading, I even can check it every fifteen minutes because i don't want to lose the opportunity to sell or buy due to sometimes there are situations where prices can go down and up without uncontrolled. Sometimes feeling stressed because by often monitoring the price makes me unable to maximized the profit because of the panic selling or panic buying. I tried to doing long-term trading by holding my coins so i did not have to monitor bitcoin price often, but it did not seem to be effective. I keep monitoring the bitcoin price whenever there is time, and I try not to feel stress because i think it has become a habit for me, so i will try to enjoy it.

because I trade every day then I also check Bitcoin every day while following the campaign signature.

how to relieve stress is by playing video games and hanging out with my friends. because in this house many friends and one field table tennis for sports.

Twice a day when I check the value of the bitcoin. Once on the morning and before I sleep. I don’t get stress when I saw the amount of the bitcoin dump. For this normal thing. When I saw the value drop 10% I do is I research the reason why the value falls and after that move on. I continue to believe that value of the bitcoin will increase more than last year value and I very excited.

I check the bitcoin price just one time in 24 hours. I think it is enough because now the price is on the track and there are no huge pumps and dumps in the price. Very small volatility in the price occurs on daily basis. There is no need to check the price every hours or even less than that. It will increase your headache if the price goes down.

Price checking is normal. You cannot predict anything if you check the price 100 times daily. The real thing is this that you must have the ability to take your, trading, holding and selling decisions on the right time. You will become successful trader when you realize that now I should sell and now I should buy more. By this way you can make huge profits.

It depends on how you earn cryptocurrency, if you are a trader then obviously you need to look at the market price as always but if you just want to hold your coins and wait for the price to grow in a very high value then its always better to wait.

As for me , I don't want to check the prices of my hodling so often. It would be helpful if I would be just surprise by the upcoming prices of it. I think it is risky if we'll check the market price often because it might lead us to panicking and doubt about hodling. Patience is what we need so just check when it is necessary.

For long term investors you should not be worrying much because your horizon would be 3-5  years and in that their would be many rise and fall. For short term traders their could be some panic mode as sometimes it falls badly. But you need to have patience in order to trade.

time and effort can v=be done here that you have to be more careful for what you may ever have to do with like you are taking to be more practical instead of what some wasted of your time can be made of it is best that you can also take an effort for what you may ever have to do like patience is a virtue that most people cant apply on.

As you know the Bitcoin market is complex, risky and dangerous. When you check the price of bitcoin down you have to be firm about the psychology you determine long-term investment and not be down today morale btc tomorrow may rise so why do not you automatically yourself?Yes, this game is not for the weak and the indecisive.When you trade, there must be a hole, myself also fly thousands of dollars in just one night. It is important that you understand the market and be determined. The next time you see Bitcoin showing signs of going down, you can jump to another trade that is showing signs of slight fluctuations.  ;D

Yeah to avoid stress checking bitcoin price once a day is enough. Don’t be panic about the price regularly after some time. Try to analyze the market trend and decide about your investment. Bitcoin is now growing again and I am sure till the end of this month it will reach to $8000. Now the market is green and investors are happy to see the price going upwards.

Lol  :) :) :) Usually most of the trader having this habit. I am also used to do check often. But now i have set an alert from my blockfolio app. If the price met the expected price, I will get notification from this.

  It is good to have a look to the market once a day because it will help you keep calm and will not stress you at the time of falling price, I think now is the best time to have patience and don’t go to check the price again and again, patience is the key of success so try to be and hold your coin for long term so it will not make you worry about the market situations, so I am sure soon we are going to have good profit out of our bitcoin investment no need to keep on checking the price all the time.

For me I check the BTC price from time to time so I will not lose what I invest in BTC so I will not leave behind the price when it pump so when you invest at dump price you will trade it right away when it pump so your investment will have a good earning trading is the fastest way to earn a good profit here in crypto market. It is to risky to trade because of its number if you did not trade it right away then you might wait for another pump of the price you are not still lose if you did not trade it right away. You can still hodl it and wait for the good price of the coin. There are also many ways on how you can make your investment big not only in trading.

I always check the market price because i am a trader so checking the market price will always be depending on how you earn cryptocurrency in order to multiply your coins.

Checking the price of the market prices will always be depending how you earn your cryptocurrency, if you are daily trader then you need to check it always but for me, i hold coins and waiting for the price to grow because i have a day job.

I am regularly checking the bitcoin prices because i have to use crypto for making payments for buying and services i have to check the prices because i will use it for making investment in the future and i can buy some other coins in the market.

I often check the price of BTC, I always stress when prices fall. At this point I am always worried because market prices are constantly falling, I worry I will lose capital.

In the crypto market you have to be willing to hold for the long term and not let the short term drops stress you out.  Checking prices every hour will really mess with your mind if you are prone to stress and may lead to panic attacks.  I had a few friends that invested in crypto and lost a fair amount so far on paper and they are nervous wrecks that are about to sell.

I always memriksa market every day because in the world of trade you should not lose moment saaqt prices are rising, because prices change every time jadia sayas must check the market every day and every time.

For me, I check it every couple of days; sometimes, around twice or trice a week. I don't need to follow the market that closely because I don't do much trading ventures. I mostly do passive investments like hodling and bounty campaigns, so I don't have to really be updated that much with what's happening in the market. Although, I check it regularly to be updated with the value of the coins I hold.

I very rarely check bitcoin prices because I do not do daily trading, I see the price ethereum because some of my titoin from bounty results mostly based on ETH, although it can actually be exchanged on bitcoin but I prefer to exchange it on ethereum

On 2017 I spent 3 - 5 times a day to check the price of bitcoin on the market and yes that was a stressful especially when the price slump.
Now I only look the market 3 times a week, but if the market begins to crash again then I stop looking at the market for days until everything recovers because that can brought a feel of anxious.

I usually check BTC and other interesting for me altcoins every day, if I make decision don't trade for several days - I just forgot about crypto world Wink. But very often after this, I regret very much...

if you are getting stressed it definitely over invested than your capability, which you shouldnt have done

as a rule I check the price for bitcoin in day several times, but it is necessary to look with cold heart, not to panic because of falling and not strongly to rejoice from small rise. It will be necessary to think about long-term a perspektiveyua she good

You can not keep it too much in the long time, it will make you stress, fatigue and lack of energy.
You just need to watch it once or two times a day is enough.

For me it was a big bad habit - I kept updating my portfolio. It's hard to force yourself not to follow the numbers. At the same time, I never experience stress, only curiosity.

Right now in my life I came to the point when I am almost never checking the price of Bitcoin and the reason is that I am having most of my portfolio consisting from alternative cryptocurrencies, I checked their price.

Yeah it is right that checking price seldom will keep you away from panic. If you have invested big money in bitcoin and if you see little dip in the price you will be upset and will think to withdraw your money from bitcoin or convert to Altcoin. It is not good for long term investment. For me bitcoin investment should be for your future dreams.

I check it once a week, alcohol helps with stress. Just drink it up  ;)

I do not see too many bitcoin prices on the exchange, I only see it when I have time to spare because if I always see the bitcoin price it will make me depressed.

Checking the prices of cryptocurrency will be depending on how you are earning cryptocurrency, if you are a daily trader then you need to check it every day but if you are a holder then reading news and speculations is decent enough to update your self.

Good advice,  for me,  i will check it depends on the btc price movements if it is moving slowly once or twice a day will do but if it is moving faster i will check it more than usual. 

For me, it is much better to check it often as you can make your own graphs of BTC and alts' growth. It will help you further to work out the strategy - what to do: hold, sell or trade.

agree on it cause there is some cases that you may also have been out of the topic if you are not to be taken check this often you have to know for what may real happen on the coin the recent price of it and for no matter what is this state for.

If you are a daily trader you can check it as often as you wish but for me i much pay attention and look in the altcoins that i am hodling if i need to get out first and come back later on. I became cautious because of pumps and dumps that can be a loss for me if i can get out early or to make cutloss.

You check these prices probably you are investing for the short term. If you are investing for the long term, you wouldn't be checking prices every now and then. This is my own view. Do not check prices as it gives you stress if prices are going down. You can check the price every two weeks or three weeks but every day.

Checking the prices of cryptocurrency will always be depending on how you are earning your coins, full time trader needs to check the value every day while long term holding just need to check every time there is a hype in the market.

I check the main crypto currency course approximately once a week, and sometimes less often, and it seems to me that this is quite enough for a long-term investor. Do something useful and you will not look at the graphs so often. :)

The fact that I have crypto-currencies does not lead me to a stressful state. First of all, because I bought them for money, which I was ready to lose and profit from them. In the beginning, I also often checked the price and worried. But then I thought about the question: WHY SHOULD I WORRIED AND CHECKED THE PRICE? Enough that every day I read news from the world of crypto currency, it gives me an idea of ​​the situation on the market. Also from the news I find out about the price of bitcoins. Sometimes I turn to tradingview.com, view the charts, analyze them. This gives me an idea of ​​what is happening to the market and how I treat it. But I'm not just a currency holder. Sometimes I sell them, buy them, take part in ICO.
In any case, my advice to you. If you are afraid to miss following pump, you just need to read the news sometimes, for example, 1-2 times a week. If an active movement begins, everyone will write about it, and you will learn about it. The price can also be viewed 1-2 times a week.

Very often especially when bitcoin prices's in the process of growth, even almost every hour I check it. But when bitcoin prices tend to be stagnant, I feel lazy to check it out and such situations feel really very boring

I have very little bitcoin price checking, you can see that bitcoin prices in recent days are showing signs of slowing down after touching the $ 8400 level and is adjusting at the $ 8100 level. According to my analysis, the bitcoin price will continue to increase so I am not too tense while keeping bitcoin. The market is still showing very good signals so you do not need to worry too much.

I believe that checking the market movement often will create serious tension particularly if the is going down against your entry position. As for me, is usually check the market two time in a week so the market tensions on me will not be that much.

When i see an indication that there is a possibility that btc price will go up,  i make it to the point that i check it most of the time. For i can invest in other coins for higher returns of investment.

As a day trader, I checked bitcoin and other major crypto prices every day as soon as switching on my pc before even heading to my trading platform and reading essential news.

It will really make you anxious if we are talking about money that we cant afford to lose try to divide your money to different coins not just btc , I was the same back then when I put all my money in bitcoin and felt anxious and crazy about it, looking the market every now and then and tend to panic if I saw a spike. Don't invest all your money it will help and invest only what you can afford to lose

Once every 3 days. It was stressful before when I was still new and shocked seeing bitcoin's price plummeting to $6k. It's very hard to adjust your mindset that easily but after a series of up and down, I got used to it and it don't stress me anymore.

The rally is huge, and the bull run is expected to come very soon. That is why I am always checking the price of Bitcoin and the other alternative coins. Nevertheless, I cannot say that I feel some stress from it.

Each bitcoin owner or future investor needs to monitor the price at least twice a day - on opening trades and on its closing. Over time, you learn to foresee the growth or fall in price. And there is no need to be nervous. I think you’ll learn to be more patient with time, we all came thru this feeling.

I catch myself refreshing my Blockfolio app every hour, that's not normal but I just can't help it..

If you have been trading bitcoin very reasonable amount of time,  One should have gotten used to the rigour of market and stress of cryptocurrency like bitcoin.  As a trader, your job is already cut out for you,  you must check the price of bitcoin against your entry price in order for you to make profit!

I used to check btc price constantly but it was causing me too much stress. Now, I may check it once a week since I'm not a day trader.  Some people have a real OCD and check prices every five minutes, I really don't see the point in doing this.  If you are and investor just hodl for years and try to forget about your coins.

Here the question is: why do you check the state of coins so often? Do you have large amounts of investment and you expect a price increase? Or are you a trader and watch the market for growth and fall for speculation? Or are you just wondering? If the first thing is possible, try just to place an order on the exchange at a bargain price and be calm. ;)

If you hold bitcoin, then you generally don't need to look at the price so often. Your nervous condition is only due to the fact that you don't have a plan. You must make yourself a clear plan. If you plan to sell bitcoin, and then buy it anew at a lower price, then just calculate for yourself the price at which you will sell bitcoin and for which you will buy it back. Now you are seized with greed, you want to sell bitcoin at the highest price, it's greed that makes you act that way and go crazy. Don't let this feeling control yourself.
After you calculate the prices you need, you will only have to look at the price once in 2-3 days, until the price of bitcoin is near the planned price. Next, of course you will need to view the price more often or just put a order for sale.
You must understand that looking through the price several times a day doesn't give you any important information (of course, if you are a daily trader, it is a necessity filled with great meaning).

I am stuck on my bitcoin trade and waiting for the price to go up again. It is kinda lonely to know that you are not profiting on bitcoin because I think many of us has decided to enter the crypto world to earn money. I still believe that the price will go up again and we will be able to have some good profit from this.

You should not test it with such frequency. With the price increase, you will be very excited. And extreme stress if btc dump or down trend. You can check one time a day and find something to do to forget the check price. One thing that makes you feel excited.

Minimal times because I have not yet have a huge amount of investment in cryptocurrency. I just like to see how big bitcoin made in the 24 hours in trading market. As of now, I am looking for exchanges that easily fluctuating so that I can be more aware if I want to buy and sell the bitcoin.

Yeah for people like you with not too large capital or people who invest for the long term. maybe not too often to see charts in the market but for traders. of course seeing prices and charts is their daily life and that is why they often stress because they see prices too often lol

I do often monitor the bitcoin price when I need to cash out money because I do not want to miss any increase at its price. Yes I feel you. I want to check it every hours, every minute but it hurts me and also makes me crazy seeing with my two naked eyes that its price is going down. To at least lessen that feeling, months before I need the money I keep checking it day by day then cash out the money when bitcoin hits enough price for me. After that, I will only check bitcoin price at least ones a week

if you make a long-term investment, just let it go and see it later. but it is different when you trade by pursuing short-term profit then you have to real time observe the market to get the profit you want

Watching the price of your bitcoin while it is going down is really stressful especially when you are still new in the cryptocurrency investment or trading. Even if you invested a money that you are prepared to lose, it still give you stress unless you fully accepted that cryptocurrency is really risky and chances of earning a big profit is slim. To limit stress, avoid looking at the chart to often during price downtrend and always remind yourself that there is a time for recovery and avoid using your emotion during trading.

I don't see the condition of bitcoin very often because at the moment I have a job in Katnor that can't always pay attention to the place of exchange, I will only see a line of 2x when going to work and when going to sleep,...

Well that's a way to avoid adding stress to your day especially with this bear market. Newbies should try practicing this to avoid anxiety which more often than not lead to stress and panic. The market will recover simply because it's natural for it to do so. It just may take time longer than you expect.

I don't check BTC price as often as I did before.
When I started mining and trading, I was checking it every few hours, but recently I only check prices of altcoins I invested in.
Before, I was stressed if the price went down, but since I stopped watching the price so often, I feel much better.

I check the price on bitcoin 1 time per day. I do this in order to stay informed about the situation. The price of bitcoin doesn't bother me much. Personally, I can't influence the price in any way, so I consider it unreasonable to harass myself with constant price reviews and nerves. Once a day is enough to fill my head with reflections about what the market is waiting for in front and how to proceed.

On my part, I check during my vacant time during my work since I have a regular job and during evening I checked every two hours since I need to analyze which coin would be the best or have a potential to increase. Basically, we experience some stress moment which we have lack of hours to sleep which we need to be aware on the possible downfall on the coins that we have. Eventually, I already adjust on what I have done every time I check on the price of BTC.

can not be ascertained, because if you want to see, surely you will also see the state of the market price. maybe a way to relieve stress in situations like this, in my opinion try to do some work that can earn income. In essence, you must have a solid activity. for example, you can participate in various gift campaign programs. there are some jobs, which might make your days busy. that way, it might be able to minimize stress in your life because of the current price situation.
keep patient patiently.

Don't check it from time to time because it will make you stressful and it will intend to frustration. Just stick on your altcoin trades and take opportunity when bitcoin is down.

Surfing investment makes you nervous and check prices regularly. Long-term investment will be better

It is simple. The less you check the prices, the less you get affected and the stress does not build up too much in your mind. Anything related to crypto is really not that good especially when you invested a lot I'll stay away for a short period if I were you.

As day trader, i checked the BTC and others altcoin price almost every hours, since wake up in the morning untill in the evening before sleep. Since amonth ago i decide to more focus in day trading and do less bounty program. By this way i hope i can recover my loss soon, and i have dream to be expert trader that possible to earn monthly profit in consistently. I enjoyed this trading activity because while doing that i can watch some funny video on the youtube.

Everyday i've always checking the bitcoin price and some altcoins in order to monitor the exchange market price value,even though i consecutively seen a dump of price value,and for me everythings are still alright and i cope this stress disame as usual happen in the crypto world,because i have a strong faith thats everythings happen have a reason.

I never often check the price of bitcoins. what for??? from this price will not change! and to struggle with stress is very simple, you need to leave the market crypto.

There is no need to check the bitcoin price again and again. It is right that it is painful to see dip in the price. I always the price just once in a day because I think it is enough. When the day starts I see the price and that’s the end. I have no time to check the price again and again. Why I should increase my headache? It is tension to check the price after every 30 minutes.

I don't check the price of BTC too often because I do not have much BTC, only about 20mBTC probably. I am more concerned with the price of XRP and XLM as this is the majority of my portfolio, though they have been doing well lately I am still down on my entry point. I have heard stories of  too many people who check the BTC price 100 times a day, it must be stressful, particularly in this market.

I think that one does not need to keep checking the price level in the market if the investment is already been made. Regardless of what the market price is, or even if the market price is declining, almost every investor tends to hold his coin till the market is in boom or till the worth of his portfolio reach to the maximum.

Checking the market price every now and them means that you are impatient about the output of your investment and this is an alarming condition because if that is so, you are likely to sell your coins out of panic as the price further drops. One should rather adopt a much rational way to deal the fall and hold on until the market is in full swing to give back.

Everything depends on you. If you can not control yourself, then you will not help a lot of advice. You have to work with your feelings, analyze them and understand how you can control them. In fact, it is very difficult to learn to control yourself,but if you learn to do it, you will get a lot of benefits.

I'm checking the price couple of times a day. I take it as a long term investment, so I'm not stressing about it too much. It all depends what is your goal with BTC.

Well, I check it often but it does not give me any stress. When I monitor the market, it simply helps me to take the right decision what to do, and nothing more.

this is the case 90% of the crrypto community.
I  known people who have never invested in bitcoin or other cryptocurrency but they tend to check  price, so I can't believe a person who tells me that I don't check BTC price without a minimum of stress.

I check the price of bitcoin constantly. It has become a habit. But I do not panic when I see strong impulses down or up. After the correction from 20 thousand to 6, nothing will surprise me

to be able to see the price of bitcoin you can see it in the morning and when you want to sleep and you can also install buy orders and sell orders when you are looking at the price of bitcoin, do not be too stressed to use trading with less used capital.

I think that it is much better to invest your money for long time and never check the price till you want to make some decision about your holdings. Checking the price again and again is the duty of crypto trader because it is mandatory for them. On the other hand people like me who have just invested for long time don’t need to check the price especially in these days.

if you are a trader, of course often seeing the market will be good because it helps you in doing research and know what you have to do,
like where coins are potential to go up and worhted to buy, but I am a holder I am not so often see the market, but sometimes sad when the price is not go up when I see

In my whole experience, I always check the price of bitcoins every 6 hours in order to monitor where to hold or to sell my coins.
Stress is part of our lives but we should be positive and stay calm in order to have a healthy mind, carrying the burden from stress will eat your mental and physical health.

This is great logic. Likewise people invest in gold and do not check its price every now and then and the market still rises letting them cash the profit. In the same way, Bitcoin could be treated like any asset that you invest in. The main reason why some people stick to their computer screen is that they have no other way of earning and constantly keep an eye on the prices. One should have a side business as well and this helps a lot.

For me I will say i check the price of bitcoin maybe twice or thrice in a day, I am not really hooked with checking the bitcoin price all the time, because i know if bitcoin price makes a huge jump i will know because i visit this forum almost on daily or weekly basis, so if such a huge jump happens, I will read it from here.

I am also practicing not to check bitcoin price in a long time. Because i plan to hold my bitcoin. For the longest time that i can. And its not good if you check the price hourly or daily.

Me, I check BTC price 3 times a day. I am hoping that one day soon the price soar high again. And I am not stressed because I always believe that the market will recover soon.

In my opinion, if you have invested in Bitcoin, there is literally no need to keep on checking the market value and see if there is any addition to the price. This is foolish to tire yourself by doing that for ultimately the market decides when to do that.

Moreover, you can easily stay secure in crypto market and make handsome money if you are a long term investor for a long term investment adds value to your portfolio overtime even if you do not check the values every now and then.

Well i only check the price of bitcoin every morning and after i check it i dont check it anymore, i just focus more on working on a lot of bounty campaign so i can buy many bitcoin soon and i am not checking the btc price for every time because i dont really have so many bitcoin now.

lol, this is a very good question, if I calculate the average I check the Bitcoin price almost 10 times every day.
and if asked how do I reduce stress seeing the price of Bitcoin? emmm, of course, by convincing yourself that rising or falling the price of Bitcoin is a natural thing  :D

I check it on an average of 5x per day i think and all the time I check it im not expecting anything because its always like that and i think it never change a big amount, but im still hoping for a miracle.

Too often for my taste, I`m afraid. Constantly checking the price on my mobile app, it became some kind of a ritual too keep up.
As for stress, I dunno - checking the price reduces stress by itself, no matter if it rises or dips.

Do not stress yourself by seing the price value of bitcoin
That's is normal bitcoin is volatile currency no need to worry if the price of bitcoin still not increase
Wait for the next year and observe where's  bitcoin goes into 2018 aren't for the cryptocurrency year

Actually I always check BTC and other coins' price from time to time. At first, I get so sad of the prices go down. Yet, because of my positive belief that bitcoin will dominate in the future, I am able to manage what I feel.

I check it several times a day, and I do not find it is something very strange. It does not annoy me, as I am always online with special mobile applications.

Nearly about 1/4 of the total number of days per month when i check about bitcoin price. Looking at its price can stress you out especially when are into short term plan. Recently, i feel a bit sad when bitcoin hits 5,000$ mark again.

I also have the sites that inform about the crypto prices constantly. Besides it, I have installed the special application into my phone,  and when I am not home, I also check it. There is nothing stressful in it.

I check coinmarketcap everyday, once or twice. Its only for information purposes. As i think bitcoin's price affects other altcoins, checking current btc price gives some perspective.

almost every day I see changes in market conditions, because I can easily see it through the application on my handphone in my hand. to deal with stress due to market conditions that have not recovered as it is today. I am entertaining myself by doing other work that can make me earn money. for example by participating in a prize campaign program or doing daily trading. in essence, I will concern myself not to always think about the market prices that have not recovered.

Poor guy :'(. Did you put in all your savings that you had? Buddy, don't torture yourself. It will only kill you. I first bought bitcoin last summer. Before I bought it I read about it and its technology for about 3 months. This gave me confidence that this investment will show its good side. At first I also looked at the price very often and when it grew, I wanted to sell everything. After the new year, I was very upset that I had not sold everything I had. I made conclusions and began to work on increasing the volume of bitcoins in my wallet.
I suggest you keep your head down ;) This is a unique technology that is just emerging. Invest 10% of your income in promising currencies and in 2-3 years you will have a good profit. Learn to relax, because you can not buy health for any bitcoins. :(
