While it is difficult for many of us, it is important not to get too obsessed and addicted to bitcoins.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket =p

I take a different approach to investing in bitcoin.  I've historically not been an investor and instead have chosen to spend all extra in come on eating out.  Seriously, I've gone weeks eating out 3 times a day.

Anyway, instead of blowing all that money, I'm now eating at home cooking my own healthy meals and investing the rest in bitcoin.  I don't plan on diversifying or taking a moderate approach.  I'm in it to win it.

I realize that this isn't a smart way to go.  The gamble is half the fun.

+1 For the love.

My husband and I invested just a little right before the crazy boom.  We put a little more in as it moved up because we could not believe how crazy the investment was.  It is hard not to get addicted to those kind of returns!  I found myself dreaming about BTC.  My kids were like, "Why are you talking about bitcoins all the time?!"  To which we responded, "We have never had an investment quadruple in a few weeks!!"  So, yes it is easy to get obsessed.  Then when it crashed, it is hard to not be depressed too.  Thankfully, the averages of our investments are around $120 per BTC so we have not been under very long.  It would have been nice to sell some higher to buy more lower though.  It is hard to play that game and there is some worry about keeping our coin on an exchange with the fear of hacking, so we are just sitting on the few we have for now.  I think you are normal.

Anyone else look around their house to determine what would sell on craigslist for a quick btc turnaround?

Yes.   I actually was going to have a garage sale too but my weekends have been too busy.  Then I was depressed thinking by next weekend the price will be twice as high and my garage sale values will have been cut in half.

I am learning to be content with the BTC we have and thankful that we at least have some this early on in the "game."  Sure, it is later than some of those early miners, but we are still on the ground floor!
