My Bitcoin addiction is gone to the level where I stay up all night watching Bitcoinity charts and reading Bitcointalk and Reddit and checking Google News just in case there is new articles related to Bitcoin.

Does anyone else here have a same symptoms?

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I hate to say it but yes, I totally have the same problem right now, and I was almost fired today because it adds up since one month and I hasn't gone unnoticed. WTF I'm not sleeping has gone unnoticed, though Cheesy (actually they know that I'm bitcoining all night but they don't know what it means...)

There's a group of people who experience the same symptoms as you're describing: hardcore MMORPG players.

Coincidentally, both deal in virtual currencies that convert well into fiat. Both also are very nuanced in the goings-on within their respective markets.

I get this sometimes but I mainly get it when I want to work on my art, I think people like us are destined to suffer bouts of insomnia until we get our work done Tongue there are times as well when I'm working on the story in my head and such where I just have to stay up to finish it because my brain is so active I won't be able to sleep anyway.

This is just a symptom of enjoying the work you do I suspect I don't hear about office workers and the like suffering from these kind of problems Tongue
