Bitcoin Forum

Lately, I exhibited some character which to me is an addiction.

Whenever I close my eyes, I see the bitcoin logo and price just like the way it is on my device at first I thought it was normal and will fade away with time but it has persisted to this very moment while I was discussing with my other Bitcoin lovers they told me that now an addict.

So I would like to ask, is there anything like a Bitcoin addict if yes then please tell me how to become one, cause I will gladly get addicted to Bitcoin again, and again I will become a Bitcoin pro-addict if that is the case.

Will you get addicted to Bitcoin if that is possible?

addiction, option, dependence on bitcoin, if we are that bad we should have to find a solution, the only way is we have to look for other business opportunities, so we don't always depend on bitcoin, if we love bitcoin it's good for our business, but the problem is we are addicted to it that has made us forget about other businesses, because we must realize never put all the eggs in one basket, because it can lead to very big risks..

Yup its definitely an obsession not an addiction.

My question is how long have you been obsessed with Bitcoin?

If its 2 months below... then its not yet an obsession so getting out maybe easy if you find other activities to be fascinating

if its more than that, then you can slowly switch your obsession to other things. Cards, celebrities, anything that fits your palette.

Don't worry mate. Wait for the inevitable bear market(whenever that will be) and I could almost guarantee that it will fix your "addiction", as you're probably going to hate seeing the Bitcoin logo by then :P

All because of ourselves who can limit to see bitcoin or not. My advice is don't use it as the main menu when looking at your gadget, look for activities so you don't always get hung up on bitcoin because it will make you dependent. better hidden, if you buy bitcoin or trade, just set an alarm. maybe it will reduce the addiction to bitcoin a bit. Don't thing too much about bitcoin, just watch and profit from bitcoin if you can.

No, there is absolutely no doubt about my love for Bitcoin, but there is more to life than it, and from my knowledge of what addiction does to a person, I would not want to be addicted to anything, not even Bitcoin. You're erroneously of the view that addiction will make you a better Bitcoin enthusiast, but I'm afraid that is not true, an addition would only make you invest more than you can afford to lose, take decisions without proper research and make mistakes generally; just understand all there is to about the network without getting addicted, and that's just fine.

Trying to understand this post from the ops point of view, it is like the reflection the user is getting while asleep is ok for him and he would like to keep getting that pictorial replay on his head and possibly become an addict if that is the case.

But I will advise you to get involved in some other activities that will shift your attention from your device because obsession can lead you into more trouble in the future, causing you to lose in your crypto dealings.

I don't think you're addicted, but you just feel why you didn't know Bitcoin for a long time and bought as much, maybe now you can get rich and sleep on the sheet of paper called money. So it's a kind of depression that's closer to the things you should have been doing a long time ago. A strong desire as @obito said that you are obsessed with Bitcoin.  ;D

Sounds like a trap.
Hope you know what getting addicted to something means... it means you are too dependent on it that's it becomes difficult to detach yourself from the dependence. You don't feel OK until have it.  Pleasure fuels the addiction
The love of money is the root of all evil. If you love it or get too attached to money, you'll likely do unpleasant things to get more and more to satisfy the pleasure/lust in order to feel fine.
Meanwhile money isn't everything.... It's not necessary to make you live a good life. There are more important things than money that are necessary and may be ok to be attached to.

Addiction isn't a good thing, even if it's with Bitcoin. Being addicted means not being in control of your life and your actions. It's when you cannot stop doing something even if you want to. Addiction with something financial sounds dangerous to me, to be honest, as it can mean spending and losing money uncontrollably, which can lead to serious problems. Based on the op, however, you have something closer to obsession than addiction, as you think and talk about Bitcoin a lot, but it's not like you're putting all of your money in it and losing it, right?

addicted to bitcoin,because we are too obsessive,every step we take,even before we sleep,only bitcoin and bitcoin logo are visible in our eyes,this is good but it can affect our life,we have to find another business,if you are interested in sports you should use a little of your time to jump into the world of sports, because that way, your health can be maintained, and slowly your addiction to bitcoin will decrease slightly.

And probably uninstall those price chart apps from his devices ;D

It is not addiction it is investment which gives you profit or loss. You can only invest and trade and earn from Bitcoin. There is no any addiction I think. And there is no any gambling in investment which addict you.

ive been addicted for a good 5 years. i didnt sleep at the beginning. there is so much to learn. and thats addicting to me. however, as a dirt poor person my whole life -- i built $375 down to $37 and then up to $1,100, then down to $275, then up to $44,000, then scammed down to -$400. yes, minus. Back to living in friends basement -- still addicted but cannot itch it. the depression is overwhelming. its defeinetly addiction

I have a question for you: what happens if the market turns red? Are you still addicted or obsessed, with Bitcoin? I doubt this will last long because you're only benefiting from the current situation, which is why you're obsessed with it. I can understand if you're addicted to Bitcoin's technicalities, but you didn't mention anything about it, but again I don't see any stress on your part because the market is still doing well.

As another user mentioned this sounds more like an obsession than something like an addiction, now as crazy as it may sound people can get addicted to all kind of crazy stuff and it is not limited to things like drugs, however a classic symptom of gambling is the inability to control yourself and always look for the object or the activity at which you are addicted, this is also known as a compulsion and it will require that you do all of crazy things with your money in order to acquire more bitcoin, and if this is not the case then as I said then this seems more like a simple obsession which can be more easily solved.

I agree it is an obsession and not an addiction. You can say you are addicted if you spend all your time and money on online trading despite experiencing financial problems. If you find yourself constantly having negative emotions such as mood swings, depression and hopelessness even when you are not trading then then you can say you are addicted. Aside these, then it’s just an obsession.

Really! Newcomers have only seen the Bullish phase, they don't know what the real Bear is  :D
I was also addicted to Bitcoin, When I was doing day trading. But even if I could make a profit in day trading, the ending was always painful.
By doing Day trading if I made up 40% of my initial investment within 20+ days hard try, just a Bear market is enough to eat all my profit within half an hour.
Now I'm doing long-term trading, I apply "Buy Low, Sell High" rules, it is 10x more profitable than short trade and my addiction level is now zero.

I heard for the first time that suck kind of addiction exists.  ;D  I'm not really addicted to Bitcoin but I'm really a fan of it. But it doesn't affect me badly when it comes to managing my investments into Bitcoin in the right way. I know where to stop as I already set price goals for myself. Otherwise, it would be really hard for me to stop and I'd become greedier every day.

I just assume that addiction can only rub off on your principles when you continue to do it, this is a love of bitcoin I will not consider addiction but a love of bitcoin which has been our source of income.
So this is not a problem then it would be a good thing why don't we know earlier if in the end it can make us better? Of course this is all because of our love for bitcoin.

I am not sure if it's addiction, but most likely I observe Bitcoin price at least ten times a day. If it's an addiction then yes, I am in Bitcoin addiction as well. Binance apps make it more easier to become addicted. Because I just open this app just to see the Bitcoin current price. If holding USDT just become happy when dumping price. If holding Bitcoin just become sad when Bitcoin starts to dump. Either dump or pumps I never miss visiting the price and chart. So that's how most likely I am Bitcoin addicted.

You must have been spending too much time online than in real world with friends and family, it is good to follow up with updates but at the same time you will spend some time with relatives too. In my case, I have a job that keeps me busy most of the time during the day which prevents me from spending so much time online, I will suggest you try and engage in real world to distract you a bit.

Addiction is there but as long you dont compromise nor affect other important things in life then i dont really see a problem in regards to this. We do really see bitcoin investment to be that good.  8)
Just only remember that everything should be balanced but i cant really blamed off that there are people who do really mind much about their bitcoin investment and we know that our brain could stimulate
those thoughts and thinking even we do sleep because we are minding that much which it isnt surprising.

Anything that is too much is not good for us so as much as possible, learn to avoid it. Looking at you OP, its more of an obsession. But if you can't control your behavior towards bitcoin anymore, then its definitely addiction. And for me, its not really good to get addicted to bitcoin even if it means you're into profits. It might ruin  your whole life without even knowing it.

So never tolerate what you're feeling right now. Develop some other hobbies so your mind will be diverted to some other stuffs. Bitcoin  is good but being obessed or addicted to it is not a good thing anymore.

Seems you are fantasizing too much about bitcoin or often thinking about it. Are you new to Crypto? Good to know that you love Bitcoin and discussing about it with your friends often. You better utilize Bitcoin. Do not leave Bitcoin utilize you. See Bitcoin from all aspects. Its just a currency. Yes, a good coin to invest in and gain profits. You will face all ups and downs of Bitcoin. Be ready to love it even if Bitcoin goes back to $1.

Sorry, OP.
Your post made me laugh. Addicted to bitcoin, it sounds to me like someone who is studying a bitcoin chart all day and only thinks of bitcoin in front of a screen.
Free yourself, there is every day a beautiful day to enjoy and take on challenges.
Think of bitcoin as your backing, life goes on, and you need to be vigilant in all things where you must fulfill your responsibility.
If bitcoin is always on your mind, help others who do not know about bitcoin to learn how it can benefit their lives.

You are just overthinking about bitcoin. We used to see images if we keep on thinking about them and can't remove them into our minds. Although many have found it funny OP do you really see it as something bad when we're all putting our attention on our investments like bitcoin? Have some time to relax your mind and do not overthink about bitcoin. You check the charts and prices of it and that's common but seeing an image as you close your eyes, you're obsessed to bitcoin and that's half positive and negative.

No way, I think you are just addicted to trading because this is the activity. Bitcoin has many fields to be interested in, it could be from volatility, technicals, instruments, etc. If you are a programmer (or just a coding fan), of course you will imagine the bitcoin logo and stacks of code.

I think you are probably using, trading, or thinking of Bitcoin so much that your brain is probably still reminiscing the experience and memories you have. It's pretty normal. It's not something so bad that you would need a psychiatrist. You should try to distract yourself away from Bitcoin for a while and try to fix it by doing something else because in the long run, it will affect your decision making and emotional status.

Do  you have any worth in life aside from Bounty Hunting ? because if this forum is your only place to make a living then this is not we called addiction but this is more on hallucination .
You are seeing things that you are desperately wanted to have and that is a clear meaning of desperation .

try to find other place in live , find a job enjoy life outside this forum , there are lots of things that have been missing because of complete bounty hunting .

No. All addictions are bad and must be avoided at all costs. We have to make use of bitcoin in a healthy way, just like we make use of fiat. You can manage and grow your bitcoin wallet daily, always looking for new opportunities to optimize your results, but limits are needed, otherwise you won't live anymore just to keep tracking bitcoin all day long. Keep in mind bitcoin is here to serve us and not the opposite.

Addiction is never healthy. All kinds of it. Anything which is beyond moderation is not good. Bitcoin is good of course but if you are extremely obsessed with it, you will suffer the consequences.

But it looks like you are not addicted to Bitcoin. You are simply thinking too much about Bitcoin. I guess many of us have undergone such state. There was also a time when I had to check the price of Bitcoin almost every second of the day. Bitcoin was the first thing in the morning and last thing in the night. But that was not addiction either.

If you really want to get into Bitcoin, start with having no other money but Bitcoin.

Misplaced I think if Bitcoin is associated with addiction, the word about addicts is more familiar with gambling, while Bitcoin is global, which has various benefits or advantages that are like a hope to help more people involved in the digital world. I think it's good if we said as a fan or a hobby, not an addict.

I think its better to do trading with open eyes rather then dreaming or thinking about btc with close eyes. I do agree that finding another hobby can cure this issue. Just give btc it's due time, no need to get obsessed with it.

It is normal if you think you are addicted to bitcoin. As long as that does not make you in danger, you can still involve deeper in the bitcoin world and trying to make more bitcoin. I think I am not addicted to bitcoin as I do not have the same experience as you.

Maybe you need to take a break for a while and doing something else so when you come back with your routine, you can refresh your mind. But it is not good if you are addicted, not just in bitcoin because you will not do another thing for your life and the people around you.

it's not like an addiction but maybe it's already dependent on bitcoin.
indeed for bitcoin it is very good for now because indeed the volatility and strength of bitcoin is very good but if like this you have started into the dependency stage and your obsession is too high and this is not good because it covers your mental and consciously or not it This is a disease that attacks your psyche, which if not immediately cured, I think it will be very dangerous.
you have to be able to control yourself against your obsession, even though bitcoin is good but if it's like this the longer it will attack your psyche.

;D ;D Yeah I never heard that kind of addiction. Yes we love bitcoin but not really addicted to bitcoin like that its sound like a bit stupid.
Yes bitcoin now is a part of my daily life and is very important for me , it gave me new hopes and dreams in my life and i love it but not addicted to it.

I agree that addiction to Bitcoin is not a good thing, and it's only self-defeating if it happens. Because anything in excess is not good, because we need
to control everything in our life. We can imagine if we are too obsessed with Bitcoin, we will consider Bitcoin everything and that is not a healthy thing.
There are many other things we need to think about besides Bitcoin, so use Bitcoin wisely and don't get addicted to it.

This is completely normal for bitcoin enthusiasts such as investment options, the more interested in bitcoin, the more often I wake up in my sleep or fleeting dreams feel bitcoin its price, news  good or Fud.  So it can fall under the category of addiction, like a symptom of smoking addiction.  Lol
Every time bitcoin goes up you feel happy, every time bitcoin goes down you feel sad and uncomfortable.  It is a concept of bitcoin love

You can avoid that kind of illness, if you have other things to worry about, such as other work. Maybe you’re just too obsessed with the price of bitcoin right now, let’s wait for its price to drop. I've experienced that since I first met crypto, I'm so obsessed with the things it can do. So I can’t help but think about that. I can only say that maybe that's still normal, but in case you get to the point where you even neglect yourself. I would advise you to see a specialist.  ;)

This is a really good solution. We are very passionate about our cryptocurrencies when the market is doing well and our cryptocurrencies are growing rapidly in value. However, when a bear market comes and prices fall, and then stand still for a long time, you don't even want to look at their price once again. Therefore, this is all an obsession. It will pass over time.

I think addiction is not a good thing, it's make human don't think clearly and logically. Now I invest in bitcoin but I don't addicted to it. Usually I only check the price of bitcoin two times a day at morning and night, and I only spend 10-15 minutes for it. In the past as a bounty hunter I spent more than 12 hours to collect cryptocurrencies but now I  more become an investor. I invest in promising cryptocurrencies and take profit at bullish market. I realize that do something that too much is not so good. We need balance and enjoy our life. My suggestion is to diversify your investment so your focus and pressure will be decrease.

Addiction with bitcoin is normal mate but unless if you know how it really works and despite of being addicted in it you keep making money from it as well, i mean especially when the price is keep increasing because you know mostly nowadays are losing money because of being greedy and lack of knowledge , so instead of obtaining profits they're losing money everytime after investing in it. For me it's not addiction wherein its called a wasting money to be honest because indeed if you are really addicted in such things you will do everything to become successful.. Not when you see the price is up you will buy but despite you don't have any idea what will be results afterwards.. Lol

I agree with your opinion, any addiction is dangerous, although we will all agree that addiction to Bitcoin would be a much smaller danger than an addiction to say drugs or alcohol. Maybe the OP really only has one passing period where he just thinks a lot more about Bitcoin than usual, and that’s perfectly normal considering we’re in a very interesting period when many expect an even higher price than it is now.

I would say that there is a difference between the obsession of the average person and someone who trades in cryptocurrencies - because if someone spends 8 hours everyday trading, can we call him obsessed or just dedicated to his job? I would say that if something preoccupies us most of the time and interferes with our normal functioning, then it may be a sign of alarm.

This is like equivalent to K-pop for me. You are a superfan of Bitcoin. You love Bitcoin, cherish Bitcoin, want to be always with Bitcoin, cannot live without Bitcoin. Yah, that is a super fan, or a die-hard fan. I don't know if the Bitcoin maximalists are similar to what you are experiencing but I think theirs is purely business like and professional. Well, there are others who are supporters of other coins also, and as long as you don't hurt yourself in the process, then by all means, be inspired with Bitcoin.

You should really get out more as it'll help expand your horizons. Anyone who wants a bright and prosperous future should always be aiming to diversify the assets that they own. You'll be at huge risk in future if any adverse events happen to the cryptocurrency market - I'm thinking of regulatory action by most of the economically biggest countries in the world. We already saw how just China effectively banning bitcoin had a very large impact on the price, it would be crippled if America or large parts of Europe started taking similar unfriendly actions towards it. Bitcoin as it is has already had most of the price action that it is likely to see, it gets exponentially harder for the price to increase from this point.

You're not probably addicted, just find another way to pass the time, that might be the case for you, I mean if you're not doing anything, you will end up thinking about something that you're obsessed about.

yeah he needs that well , I also comes out this forum before specially when the market is dumping , i go around and just checking my account to post for a while but not checking the market or sections in which needs to remind me about my investments.

but OP seems to be no where to go but this forum alone, looks like he has no real life activities aside from posting here to earn some bucks.

That is definitely what he must do, because there is not future if he just  lurk around the forum and check the prices from time to time .

I think this thread should be locked already, seems to me that a lot of the users offer the same reply that it's not an addiction or that it could jsut be sone sort of behavioral thing on OP. To OP, how can you be addicted to bitcoin, there's no stimulant that can trigger your brain into overdrive.

You are not addicted to Bitcoins but its value because it is money that fluctuates in price and a very big percentage of people are addicted to money. We appreciate your enthusiasm towards Bitcoins that you are so deeply interested in the technology and it is also being printed on your mind. Try to give your addiction a positive direction and learn how you can earn it, and how you can live a better life with it.

Remembered the time we talked about this? Well, this is one prime example ;)

I think I will agree with what they said that it isn't addiction but its more on an obsession.

Now lets say that you're addicted into it like you said, it will never be a good thing because there is no addiction that is good. You can support Bitcoin the way you wanted to but don't put yourself to the point that you will be addicted or obsessed into it.

I think that you can recover from what you are feeling just by yourself and if you can't then you must need help. Staying away from crypto in general might be helpful for you :)

Having an addiction is not good at all. Try to wash your mind with new hobby or spiritual life. Bitcoin is good cause of bringing more income and extra money for households and individual. But becoming obsessed with it consumes a huge amount of time. Instead of looking at the charts everyday, why don't you take some exercise to increase your health or spend your time learning something new. To me, knowledge is the most important thing rather than money. When people are too focusing on money, it is the best time to obtain more information, knowledge and data of the cryptocurrency. With the new wisdom I have, I might make a better judgement or decision in this financial world without stretching my eye and looking at the computer

After all, it is just money. Does money make you happy ?

Addiction is bad whether it be drugs, gambling or bitcoin. Bitcoin addiction may or may not be good and that depends on how you use your coins.
Addiction is something that cannot be done willingly. You cannot willingly become an addict. Addiction is when you don't want to do a particular thing but you still do it.
Accumulating bitcoin is a good thing but buying bitcoin when you don't have the money to buy it is something that should be avoided.
We should always follow the rule "Invest only what you can afford to lose" for a healthy living.

I prefer to be addicted to bitcoin than gambling ;D

As addicted to bitcoin can make us try to make more and more bitcoin before the price increases too high. Many people who know bitcoin will always talk about bitcoin with their friends because talking about bitcoin really make us excited and curious about what next will happen to bitcoin.

But I think I do not addict to bitcoin and I hope that I can balance my life with doing many things and not just think about bitcoin.

Kind of addiction which you can know that you could really take advantage of it since we are dealing with an investment even though its would be still risky or a gamble but the odds or chances that you would experience some return or investment or profits is really there which is incomparable to gambling.

It is just you do only need to make control of everything.Its okay that you do mind off on much about bitcoin but you don't still forget on things that you should must do.

Don't make things complicated if it isn't really needed to. Just be having that kind of balance and everything should be alright.

Theoretically, a person can get addicted to anything, from objects and people, to activities of any kind, like games, or shopping or even talking on the phone.

But what I can say for sure is that seeing Bitcoin logo with your eyes closed is totally not normal. I mean, I also see things that I’m into when I dedicate too much time to it, it’s how brain works. But if it’s on a regular basis, you should probably do something about it. Either take a break, or maybe even see a doctor.

Being addicted to Bitcoin will only left you in an emotional state where your emotions will be fluctuating according to the way the price of Bitcoin zigzagly moves. I have never had of Bitcoin addiction because it's an abstract to me also a form of wealth that one can accumulate. If you intend being addicted to bitcoin, then be ready to face it all, during it to falls and rise. Even those who are becoming Millionaires through Bitcoin are not still addicted to it...maybe you need to bring out the context of what you meant by Bitcoin addiction.

It's like a disease that really needs advice from a psychiatrist because if this continues, I'm worried about the mindset of people who are affected by this. because this is no longer a fatal dependence and indeed this is not uncommon, so we need the role of a psychologist or psychiatrist to fix this, at least with that we minimize unwanted things so that things like this don't become extraordinary addictions.

I think this is called tetris syndrome. It happens when you devote so much time to a game or an activity which in this case is bitcoin, that you started seeing patterns and things that are related to the activity even after staying away from it from a substantial amount of time. This is completely normal but should be an indicator that you take some rest as well since it takes a huge amount of time for this to manifest to an individual. So drink some water, don't think too much about your investments, and engage in an activity that does not relate to bitcoin or investment for that matter. You should be good by then. Well you could be right, but then again the only one who can really see what's wrong with him is OP himself. If you think you need medical assistance, then don't delay it and seek professional help as soon as possible, otherwise your situation may worsen. But AFAIK his situation is a bit normal and would be solved by a bit of rest and distraction. Still, my statement stands where if he thinks he needs medical assistance, he should seek one.

I am in a such obsession when I have my investment in Bitcoin or others alt coins. But just looking at Bitcoin logo all day in your eyes it can be a different obsession it’s not addicted in my view. Btc is popular coin so a lot of peoples are checking price in every minutes whatever who have money in Btc or not also it’s not addiction.

The only reason i find out via you closing your eyes and keep on seeing bitcoin is that you have cryptocurrency more especially bitcoin in mind, and you have embrace bitcoin very well, because i could remember that bitcoin is something  when you kick off to adventure into it and you will like to know it to thr best or the last point, many users here was not a bitcoin lover but when they see themselves here they became over inquisitive, desperate to work with bitcoin because the important of bitcoin has been known obviously to them. I think it's nice to become bitcoin addictive.

^ I think you are not alone, probably because BTC is the most valuable currency that made us quickly rich. Even my old transaction in BTC on my wallet, there is a huge transaction of BTC there that I always looking at upon checking because at that time the value of BTC was so cheap compared now with the same amount. I have a total of 4 BTC all in all my old wallets, but where are they? Lol.

You must have been spending more time online than in the real world with friends and family; it is important to keep up with updates, but you will also spend time with relatives. In my case, I have a job that keeps me busy for the majority of the day, preventing me from spending too much time online. I recommend that you engage in some real-world activities to keep yourself distracted.

if you say you are addicted to bitcoin then that is good, it means you will be more eager to put it to good use. no need to worry if that happens, because it's good to build our minds to be more careful in investing bitcoin. if it lasts a long time then it can be a good investment i.e. bitcoin investment, but if the addiction only lasts for a short time then it's just curiosity. we know that if we enter the crypto world, we must be able to accept all the conditions and risks involved. so if the goal is just to try i think it will be detrimental.

you're definitely not addicted to bitcoin and get rid of this crazy idea that it's addictive, what you have is excess worry and anxiety just that, and don't worry that it will go away with time.


No, of course not. addiction never brings any benefit, and in the business world you can't put emotions

True, perhaps turning addiction into an inspiration is far more useful, because after all addiction results in things beyond the reach of consciousness. Something should be loved like Bitcoin, but the limits of our professionalism are meant to be. Not only being addicted, but being able to control what is traded can make him uncomfortable in carrying out any trading strategy.

Rhonda Bern has a good book, The Secret. Whatever you desire will materialize. Your OP, presentation, somehow reminds me of the lines from this book. Yes, you have a dream, you love Bitcoin, so there is a passion and desire for it.
But this book, which by the way works flawlessly, has a key. Anything you desire shouldn't look paranoid. If you want your assets to grow, invest, but for a while, just forget about them. You will be surprised how one day your dreams will come true.

We are still in the pandemic and lock down from time to time, so obviously, we don't spend that time socializing with our friends.

I think what the OP is undergoing sort of obsession, but in a good way. He seems to be obsessed on BTC and this could possibly send good signals in his brain and make it a reality. I'm not saying that this is bad, but maybe, just maybe he really has a goal just like everyone else here, to grow rich through our bitcoin investments.

Bitcoin makes our lives more meaningful, civilized and interesting.  And we love bitcoin, it's a part of life, that's not an addiction, it's too serious.  Regardless, people invest in bitcoin but should not abuse it, should invest in a civilized and reasonable way to limit health or mental problems from affecting our lives.

everyday, i watch every chart movement. and people will ask what i do, when i taking this task. because they cant imagine what am i doing, just sit like jobless, no things to do except open my laptop.
people will addicted when they see about comfort, and this will apply in every job. and when they happy to do it, they will feel if the other job is to hard than what we do

Additcion or obsession is always bad. You should have calm head. Don't lose yourself in crypto. Your life, friends and close ones more important than that.

This addiction can secure your future if you truly believe upon it and make your dreams come true and try to put some small investment on bitcoin like saving for your future and you will be happy that one dream on which you put efforts made possible to achieve all your other dreams.This is not a bad addiction but still go for what you afford to lose as first rule of market and hold patiently you will see returns.

I don't call that addiction. That's most probably regrets and anxiousness combined together.
Regrets from the past (If you didn't invest while Bitcoin price ranged considered to be the most affordable).
You're anxious as well about Bitcoin's price action.
The hallucinations you had when you close your eyes seeing Bitcoin's logo might be an indication that you're looking to seek for the greatest wealth that you could imagine that only Bitcoin could possibly give you.

More likely an obsession and Yes it is hard to distinguish which one you are currently experiencing. it was nice that you've asked the community regarding your situation and I'm pretty sure everyone or most likely they already encountered such kind of experience and they already moved on with it. As for me, I had those kinds of experiences when I was a complete newbie to this community where I think about merit too much which even lead me to dream about it several nights. I think you will get through it when you stop thinking about it and continue to enhance your other talent or look to work on something beneficial.

As soon as you dive to bitcoin you will get addicted or we could say obsessed. At first, i felt the same way, to think that bitcoin will be my superhero but too much obssesion can also lead to depression so think moderately.

We are all Bitcoin/crypto addicts here! Simply we make money with crypto, in so many ways! It's like a job, a job that you like... working from home or wherever you place your laptop and you have an internet connection! We watch charts, we place orders, we check investments that we made along the way... collecting profit from passive income, or simply gambling and having fun with crypto! And that's not such a bad thing, after all, we are contributing in many ways...

Its obsession mate, Bitcoin gives a lot of profit and benefits to its holder it's better to grab the opportunity to make an investment and try to earn with the use of the bitcoin, also don't get carried away like most of your investments is came from the merch, designs just with the logo of the bitcoin, of course, it's just a different way it's better to have a bitcoin itself to hold it's most profitable because you can sell rather than those items just having of Bitcoin logo.

Bitcoin will not disappoint its holders. If the OP really feels that is the way to achieve what he wants, then why not?
There is no harm. as you mentioned, this is a nice effect, so that the OP can continue to motivate himself Bitcoin will definitely not disappoint the achievements that the OP wants to achieve.

When your mind is thinking of something for a long, the same will get depicted on dreams. This is what happening with you. This is common with all and happens on different things. For me it happens as a dream of selling my holdings at the right time and living a sophisticated life, but the reality is different. This doesn't look like an addiction, because addiction is defined to be a process in which you find it difficult to live or move forward without it.

For me it is not really an addiction if you are already dreaming about a certain thing or person. When you dream of Bitcoin, it does not mean that you are addicted to it. The sub-conscious likes to put every little detail you have encountered in your real life, plus places, interests, people you met or part of your life, they put it all in your head while you sleep. So you dream, and then you dream of Bitcoin and crypto and you got rich and all. I mean that is pretty normal.

For most of us here, we dream to own bitcoin because its the most profitable investment for now but being paranoid on it is i think a big obsession. Not totally addicted but if not controlled, it will still fall into addiction. And even if its bitcoin addiction, its still not a good thing for everyone.

But dreaming big about bitcoin can be a positive motivation for all of us. So let us focus on our goal and stick to what we think is right and can be profitable in the future.

Be it an obsession, an addiction or even an infection lol, i don't really care about the proper grammar at this point. The thing is that it is better i am addicted, obsessed or even infected with something that gives me money rather than something that takes money away from me.

Bitcoin has been and will be a blessing to many, it has changed lives and giving some hope. It has brought freedom. Bitcoin is a good addiction, obsession or even an infection.  ;D

I don't think that is addiction, I also exhibit that trait, in my own case whenever I watched a soccer match, during my sleep the soccer event I watched will sort of reveal in a dream, although it only happens that very day I watched the match, in as much as it doesn't affect me negatively health wise or has nothing to do with financial recklessness associated with gambling likewise in the case of the OP, there isn't anything to worry about, I watched chart on my devices both phones and laptop everyday, when I started I do see it when I am sleeping, however now it doesn't occur to me again.

Do you have the following problems? If so, I suggest you go to a psychiatrist first, this problem is really common, investment is risky, and financial management should be prudent. A good attitude is the beginning of success.  See if you are a Bitcoin "addict"


Whether in forums or in real life, because of the failure of investing in Bitcoin, there are many phenomena such as losing all of your property, killing people, and suicide. In fact, this is a kind of pathological manifestation. Come on, adjust your own psychological changes.

I cant say its addiction but might be an obsession. I am somewhat similar to what you currently experience because of the positive movement of the market compared to the previous month. Im having thoughts about bitcoin and the possible things that can happen if the price climb up further.

This made me laugh because its true. Addiction can turn to frustration. ;D

Indeed, obsession is the most appropriate description, which shows that you are very attached to Bitcoin. I think you may invest a sum of money in Bitcoin that is not small for you, or you have high expectations for Bitcoin. You have high expectations for Bitcoin, but your behavior like this may be counterproductive, and being addicted to it will make some of your behaviors emotionally manipulated.

Perhaps it is your freshness. I guess you just invested in Bitcoin not long ago, otherwise this psychology will not last until now. I don’t think you should pay too much attention to the price. This will cause you a great psychological burden or put you in a long-term tension. Treat your status as a simple investment. Don't panic because of certain news. Your current status can easily make yourself lost. Love is not a mistake. Excessive love will lose your heart.

Yes, thats is addiction, not yet obsession like you said, and i think it will loosen up. It is common for newbie that come to cryptocurrencies
For me personally Bitcoin just tool of my investment, not more than that.

During the period when I invested a lot of money, I often opened the exchange and observed it repeatedly. This addictive behavior exists and is normal. One thing I even wake up every day is to look at the price, but now I am not like I used to be. My life is not just Bitcoin, I also have to look at other aspects. I can't just think of Bitcoin. In addition to Bitcoin, you will have a lot of things to do.

That is normal. When I started trading Bitcoin few years ago I always do more monitoring from time to time. I want to know what is the price of BTC again and again but as of now.. I do some checking but not the way I was years ago. I am very confident that BTC price will not go down easily so I can sleep well and eat well.

You need to find the balance in you, at first it's normal to keep doing things as you are mostly enjoying visiting your wallet,

But somehow there's should be limitation and there's should be other things to keep yourself busy. Most of those who know how to balance.
Their time is the one who really enjoys life. It's not all about your investment, but there are other things that will let you keep never to put all your time to a single thing that may stress you in the long run.

This is the habit of everyone. Especially after the transaction, I will always watch the exchange and care about the price.
When you do other things, you forget. Most people will always pay attention to the price in the morning and evening (asked many friends this is the case)

You are very similar to me actually when i just lie down about to sleep , In my mind there are always graphs of numbers as well as what i'm dreaming about , For example , After waking up the next morning the price of BTC will rebound or vice versa . It seems like the feeling around my life is always a shadow of BTC , About all I spend 80% of my time sitting at my computer and watching the market price move, I have nothing else to do.

An addiction or just an obsession that doesn't live up to what the OP expects? if someone does not have A, then that person will affect his psychology.

Like for example and the OP is interested in Bitcoin. Where interest is part of the process of getting to know Bitcoin. I see it in the early stages where the OP getting to know Bitcoin and falling in love would be beneficial. Because the name addiction, it will have an impact on both physical and mental psychology.

absolutely right, it makes sense. having a high obsession with bitcoin will have a very negative impact even if we can't have bitcoin it will be very easy to influence ourselves to get bitcoin in any way. all that can make us do anything to be able to get bitcoin even the wrong way.

Well, we all have our own plans and dream about big in bitcoin and i think that's pretty normal as long as we don't do it in a way that will harm ourselves like addiction do. Because when you become addicted to it, you tend to become uncontrollable and when you think things does not happen according to what you believe will happen, you easily become frustrated and unable to control yourself already. And definitely when you get addicted to bitcoin, it brings along with you negative things.

So better divert your mind into some other hobbies or activities. Do not just focus on crypto all the time because if you do so, addiction will really happen to you and just expect the worst things once you see the market change and suddenly becomes bearish. For now, i think you're just too fond about bitcoin that gives you clear obsession.

It is time that you consult a psychologist before going further and getting out of hand  :P. These are not normal circumstance and anyone sane will not be having these thoughts all the time. May be you are spending too much time online and you are stressing out a lot and you need a vaccation.


What is the end goal of being an addict, to book the profit and covert them to fiat  :P.

When you do end up on getting bitcoin on a bad or illegal way then it would already be considered wrong but if you do accumulate on legal aspect then I don't see for it to be a problem.

Cant really blame out on why some people do really get obsessed on accumulating coins considering or looking into its potential then its not really that a surprising thing.

Addicted on the sense of investment isn't bad as long you don't do something bullshit.

Bitcoin addic is good because it means we believe in bitcoin and also believe that it can be profitable. it's just how we manage it whether we will gain or even lose. it all depends on how we can handle our own assets. bitcoin is still be the primadonna of crypto where the price is currently soaring higher than several years before. This is what makes many people believe that the price of bitcoin will continue to soar and compete to own it. if we can collect btc from now and hold it well then i think it will be profitable in the future.

I understand your point mate, the trust in Bitcoin is not the reason why we have fall into addiction. Because this was a worse effect on your mental health, it was everything you want is to invest and accumulate Bitcoin and it leads to mismanaging funds.

Personally, addiction has nothing it brought good to us but mostly it leads to worse. To buy Bitcoin should stay in limitation, not unless if you don't care to lose your money which is how addiction resulted to that. 

The popularity of Bitcoin is spreading day by day and people are leaning towards it. In particular, students are dropping out of school and concentrating on Bitcoin in a country  The education system is deteriorating. So the student community needs to keep itself as far away from Bitcoin as possible.

I don' think I'm addicted to Bitcoin. Well...I do think about it and like checking its price from time to time when I'm free of business. But I can also forget about it when I'm at work or hanging out with friends.
Maybe you just think too much of gain and loss. Just relax.

i can feel you mate when i first experience earning multiple profit when 2017 hype happens?

i thought that even in my dreams bitcoin or crypto is being part, there was a chance that when i was with friends? my mind is flying towards crypto and not relating to their topics.

I don't think so, why hold them back on financial freedom? Also, if the education system is worth dropping for then probably it's not the student that has the problem because if it's not a broken system then probably we would see less students dropping out because there's always a way to balance the scales in terms of hustling and studying.

I think this needs education and control from schools, bitcoin is a good thing and can be a profitable investment especially since it has been introduced since school, when they have graduated and see bitcoin balances and get big profits, schools must aim at real business so that there is a balance between bitcoin investment and real business.

From my experience and from what I have seen, the crypto market is the most addictive, because it is the most entertaining. I have also tried the traditional stock and it is all much more extensive, much more information. Here we have a smaller market, with a lot of crazy ideas but we can get all the information about the project on its own website. If you want to invest in Microsoft, the amount of information is huge and you don't have a single place to know everything . Cryptocurrencies compared to the traditional stock market seem more like a financial video game where you can earn a lot and also you are helping to change the world.

Fortunately,I am not Bitcoin addicted. In your case, I think that you work just too much and constantly look at charts, so you had better rest more. Sometimes it is really difficult to switch from work and the crypto world to family and private life. But we should do it so as not to go mad. When you are constantly following charts and news you will be very nervous.

most of your life is spent on Bitcoin, watching the market move.
I've even spent all my life in front of a computer just to trade non-stop.
But then I realized, that things that are too excessive to become addicted like the title of this thread, are not good.
Humans as social beings certainly need to socialize. I reduce my work in front of the computer to socialize so that I can get to know the environment around me and can release stress when I continue to look at the monitor screen.

The best thing is a balanced life. trading bitcoin as the main job, but we also have to be aware that our family and the surrounding environment really need us.

I'm really happy that I'm not addicted to Bitcoin actually. Because I don't think that it is a good thing. It can cause you to manage your Bitcoin investments really poorly. The most important thing is to make your investments wisely. If you don't have a certain strategy, you might invest more and more until having no money left. And it might not end up well.

Addiction is not created overnight. And the type of addiction isn't same for every person. I have seen a few people sell their daily necessities to invest in Bitcoin.
Again, I have seen some people who have borrowed money from their relatives and lost their livelihood by doing excessive online trading, there is no doubt that they are very extreme level investors or just fools, you can call them gamblers or addicted too. Not only Bitcoin, being overly addicted to anything is not a good thing at all, Investing in Bitcoin is profitable but there is a need to maintain a limitation.

"Bitcoin addiction" This term is very new, people who invest in bitcoin by borrowing money we can't say that they are addicted to bitcoin, maybe they don't want to miss the opportunity to make an instant profit and that's why they borrowed money and also gave a portion of interest to the lender. You can borrow money to do any progressive work, so borrowing money is ok if he is skilled enough to do online trading.

When the right method can no longer be used, it is likely that people will do it the wrong way and even against the law. like crime in real life, people will do anything to get what they want even in the wrong way. I also think that the effects of bitcoin can make people very ambitious to be able to own bitcoin in a way that is against the law in the real world.

One is said to be addicted only  when their habits start resulting in negative consequences. Borrowing money for crypto trading is okay but only to some extent. As you said, Borrowing money for the fear of missing out, I don't agree that it’s fine. If a trader is spending his maximum time and amount on crypto and mindlessly trading crypto to elevate his mood, I don't consider it healthy.

Like what other users say, I think it isn't an addiction, but an obsession with bitcoin. Addiction is something different from obsession. Addiction is being dependent on something until you can't let go and get rid of that certain thing or routine which interferes with how you behave. Meanwhile, obsession is the thought of being so caught up and preoccupied about something and it seems that you can't get it out of your mind. Addiction requires treatment to overcome. Obsession sometimes requires medication for those severe cases, but for those mild cases, diversion of attention such as recreational activity and other forms of activity will do to keep you out from being preoccupied about the thing that you are obsessing with.

I suggest you do other things such as hobbies to let your mind take a break from thinking about btc. Diversification of funds is essential. You must remember that you should not put all of your funds in one place to avoid major loss if things go worse. Also, invest what you only afford to lose. Every investment has its risks.

It might happen if you are really invested in it and have something you really anticipate about it. Obsession might happen if you are very associated with what's happening inside the market. Bitcoin price is unexpected. It's like email obsession, where you check it frequently to see if there's a new one. Some people identify bitcoin as an easy money asset; that's probably why they become obsessed with it; they want to get fast money from their investments.

I wouldn't say addiction but obsession, and this is goes more the more you are invested in it, if you are taking it seriously and using bitcoin to make a living either by trading or by putting you savings into it, you will always have it in the back of you head constantly reminding you either to check the price or the news, wondering if i should take my profit and cash it out or just hold it, that is why you should only invest your time and money in bitcoin as a hobby or a pass time that makes you money that way you don't get distracted or feel engaged to constantly think about it

I can't say I am addicted with bitcoin, but in my daily life, I always see to it that I checked the crypto market. And of course, I need to be in the forum as I am part of the sig campaign. But I learn a lot of things here in the forum especially new projects that are worth looking at. You can also be updated of what's happening in the crypto market even without checking other crypto news websites because members here usually create thread if there are relevant news. The good thing here, you can also read the discussion among the members and read what their insights are.

Most of people does have perception that this is a rich quick scheme thats why some people do really fall into those scams out there because of that kind of intent. Bitcoin addiction is something a good thing

as long you dont compromise something then its a good thing because you do benefit out if you do really know how to hold and wont be affected by fuds which do result into
panic sell.

Addiction to bitcoin is much way more better than addiction with gambling.Dont you agree?

A very simple example, I have a friend around me who is a football fan, but when he participates in gambling, this is a strong connection with money. If you don't sleep for 48 hours, there is no sleepiness. This is an addiction. The same is true of investing in encrypted digital currency, why is there an addiction, because it is a kind of gambling pleasure.

Addiction isn't the correct word for this, I think you are just obsessed with Bitcoin and the price. It might be a consequence of thinking too much about Bitcoin and/or doing nothing else but checking the price and counting your coins. When I first accumulated 1 BTC a few years back, I felt the same problem. I didn't have the logo in front of me when I closed my eyes, but I was suffering from insomnia and would wake up late at night suddenly to check the price.

Maybe you should try and focus on other activities and distance yourself from the crypto world for a few days or a week. This happens with everyone at some point, so don't worry too much and it's nothing serious either. Students have the same problem during exams.

I do not believe that you can become a “Bitcoin addict”. I do think you can develop compulsive behaviors with your interests.
Moreover, if you feel that those behaviors such as checking your phone to see the value of your BTC, have negative consequences than you may have a problem.
At bottom, if the consequences you feel you’re experiencing from your interest in BTC are causing more problems than the joy you get from being part of the Bitcoin revolution than I think you should talk to a professional health care provider.

One will need to differentiate between the two when you become so associated with a particular activity it may either be an obsession, which can be avoided easily by looking away from it, but if you struggle to detach from it that point it is an addiction. cryptocurrency is highly addictive.

Addiction is serious case up to the point sell your house and lot and everything you possess for Bitcoin. I think you aren't there mate but you are in the place to love Bitcoin deeply even until you sleep you dream about it. For me, just an example the actual Addiction on drugs, alcohol, woman, and casino  could come up to severe health and family problem. Just an opinion

I am aware of the negative impact of addiction it can destroy one's life, and am trying every possible best to avoid it.

if we are addicted to bitcoin, we can say we are included in the terrible category, because if we are addicted we have risked everything we have in bitcoin, land, houses, including the women we love we will bet on bitcoin, it's different if we love, we will always remember, pay attention, and we learn every day,, in my opinion it is better to love than we are addicted, because the risk of being addicted is definitely very heavy..

LOL I am not sure if  you're being 100% honest here, but there really is something as bitcoin or cryptocurrency addicts.  Addiction to anything is a horrible problem and I am of the belief that it is truly a disease.  I have actually seen "help lines" for those whom are addicted to trading bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.  This actually is a legitimate issue for someone people.  It's definitely not a good thing.  Best of luck.

obsession to have bitcoin I think is the right one, not addiction because of the usual addiction to food and drink,
but the obsession of desire that must have as much as one desire

your already addicted and why you want to become more addict ? thats crazy
if we can get addicted in other things then why not in bitcoin ? you can earn money in bitcoin and you can use bitcoin to improve your life , that makes btc addicting but we should put things in place .
when we sleep we dont need to think of our bitcoins anymore because than can interfere our sleep .

I am sure anyone who has ever entered the crypto scenario must find it near impossible to exit this world. There are countless ways like invest, trade, signature, bounties, gamble and even lend your coins to earn money. In that sense even I am addicted to gambling because hardly there goes a day when I am not active on the forum or trading some coins, if neither of these two, I am chilling and gambling.

I am at the point where the price doesn't bother me too much either because I am more actively spending bitcoins than collecting them for future investments. Trust me guys, spending your coins is fun too and not always you will lose them if you are spending them. By spending, I mean trading with other coins or gamble.

This is a sign that you are very focused and serious about your field, namely bitcoin. You seem to have a lot of fun and ambition here. If these conditions do not bother you, no problem. But if these conditions interfere with your rest, then I suggest you to be able to relax a little and enjoy playing bitcoin.

if I personally at this time I do not say an addiction. because they see bitcoin as a future opportunity and have the right steps to invest. so in this case I'm not saying it's an addiction like the op said. because addiction to bitcoin means that you invest in bitcoin as a hobby and you don't have the right direction.

Investing in bitcoin and being addicted on bitcoin are two different things. I've seen a lot of crypto traders who are seriously addicted to trading, All they have to do is trade online and speculate, they don't think there is a life outside of online trading, It has become an addiction for them like gambling, they do not hesitate to mortgage their houses and cars to invest in the crypto market and expand their portfolio.

If I am as addicted as you, I'll take it as an opportunity to gather knowledge and take it as a chance on how you can actually benefit while being addicted to Bitcoin, why would you try to forcefully make it fade when you can actually take hold onto it, addiction is definitely not good but if it will actually give you such a benefit like earning Bitcoin and studying about it then why not? It's not like you're gambling and losing money right? so why stop when you can become a Bitcoin enthusiast in the future? I am not supporting addiction in any sort, having such hobbies can actually normalize or regulate your love for Bitcoin, you should do that too.

I don't know what bitcoin addiction means here, is it the same as people who like/hobby on an object who will always look for and collect these objects. Or is it the same as people who like to gamble will bet on a price? but whatever the form of addiction is as long as it is positive and feasible, why not...

there are too many words that have similar meaning what others sees as an addiction can be viewed by another as just an obsession, whatever have the chance to get your attention can keep you glue to it and bitcoin as an investment is a profit making means to most people and they keep checking the price consistently which is an obsession.

Obsession and addiction of course have different meanings, in my opinion if we look at the price of bitcoin too often then this is normal, but if we always look at the price every minute and do it every day without any other activity this is what we call addiction. Of course this is not good for our psychology.

I don't understand what is bitcoin addiction. Even if you bitcoin addiction, there are no side effects for it.
I heard about bitcoin gambling addiction only but never heard about this.

- Agree, many people explain bitcoin addiction as a painstaking process of buying bitcoin and opening their eyes just to check the price of bitcoin then living a day with dozens of bitcoin value and information reviews but honestly this is just as good a habit as we go to the gym regularly, instead of having a health meaning, we are here with a physical meaning in bitcoin. However, it is also necessary to have a regime that follows science and is not governed by it, absolutely don't fall into bitcoin trading addiction, unreasonable regime will greatly affect psychology as well as capital

Why would you want to have an addiction to Bitcoin or anything else? Addiction is not a good thing. It can make someone do unwise things and regret that after some time. Rather than being an addicted person, I would advise you to become an aware investor. You should be able to control yourself about not investing all of your money into Bitcoin. I hear about some addicted people who are doing this. If Bitcoin price decreases sharply, it can affect the person mentally really badly.

Precisely. Anything that is too much will eventually end up into addiction and its really a negative trait because it will push you to do things beyond your limits and you end up being unproductive. So as much as you can OP, manage your lifestyle and change it for the better. If you want to be more profitable in the field of bitcoin, then do it with proper thinking and of course with healthy mind and body.

For now, just relax and unwind yourself. I just thought this crypto market has been giving you stress these past few days so it will be better to divert your mind into some other activity that will relax your mind.

I think thinking about your investment from time to time if it grows or not is normal, I mean how can we associate the word addiction with just thinking about your investment growing or not, I think it's kind of not relevant term about it. We used to check if our investment in bitcoin is growing or if we are an effective investor because we can learn a lesson out of it. Maybe you will be obsess to check the market price if it goes up or down. Bitcoin is so volatile crypto and you will be excited to check the market price from time to time I swear especially if you were expecting for a high profit out of your investment.

A jake name man says he lost millions through trading bitcoin to the BBC scotland. He says i lost everything in a single trade. It can be said addiction of trading but there many positive sides of marketing Bitcoin. I can't say it is addiction, it can make you lazy in other works of earning money.

Our lives must be balanced, never rely on one or two types of income, even though bitcoin is very profitable but we must look for alternative income or other productive activities, bitcoin addiction can make us lose all money because we don't care about market analysis and trends.

He is totally certified bitcoin addict. But i guess you will gain in BTC if you trade at the right timing, right decision and do not sell when you will only get some losses with your investment.

 Bitcoin provides a lot of profit and benefits to its holders. It's better to seize the opportunity to make an investment and try to earn with the use of bitcoin. Also, don't get carried away thinking that most of your investments are coming from merch, designs with the bitcoin logo, of course, it's just a different way it's better to have a bitcoin itself to hold it's most prodigious benefits.

People can lose their wealth foolishness due to lack of knowledge. There is nothing of addiction. If that person lost his everything by investing in shit coin doing online trading then he is not skilled enough in this section. Before investing in the Crypto market he should learn first how the Crypto market actually works. Bitcoin is bullish and now came to $65K from $0 but still, you will find bunches of people who lost their everything by investing in Bitcoin, so you can't say they are addicts, but they are foolish enough and don't know how the market work.

This is a huge joke, bankruptcy without recognition (investing in Bitcoin). This is bound to happen. All people go back to do what they are good at. This is not because of addiction, but because they always have a fluke in their psychology and feel that they can. This is the point, when you feel that you find the wealth code is the most dangerous time. Bitcoin is a zero-sum game, a redistribution of wealth. This game is fair, if you want to win, learn and hold for a long time. Daily trading, swing trading, these are some speculative trading. The risk is very high, if you want to participate, may I ask? are you ready? How big is your psychological endurance? Is your capital allocation and investment strategy perfect? How big is your desire? LOOOOL, I have experienced painful lessons, are you willing to experience my past? Message me privately, let me tell you.
