[shamzblueworld]

get away from it even one day.... an hour? Only when im at work (which isnt much)

When im not here, i switch to youtube, when im not on youtube i switch to coinmarketcap, when im not on coinmarketcap i check my email, when im not in email i check my phone sometimes. Or facebook.

And then repeat that cycle...          


Ooh, ad reddit to that as well since recently..

and ofcourse being on exchanges. Or bitmex adventures.

Facebook, bitcointalk, coinmarketcap, my websites. That is my cycle at the moment, sometimes after coinmarketcap I take the road to poloniex too, but not very often.
For cypto, mostly its btctalk and coinmarketcap. Coinmarketcap once a day, bitcointalk about 10 times a day.

Dude I can relate this isht is addictive. I am like that as well. I am obsessed. I have zero interest in anything that's not cryptocurrency. I am constantly reading news, checking the price, reading tweets, Facebook posts, watching YouTube. I am pretty sure in 5 years time shrinks will have a name for this. Hahahaha personally I don't think its a bad thing as I think we need to get as much information about cryptocurrency as we can..

I was going to start off a reply with "dude" but you apparently beat me to it.  LOL

There's a lot of people who are now completely addicted to crypto, and we all know why that is.  It's because the price has skyrocketed from being stuck at $420 at some point last year (IIRC) to over $7200.  That'll make a lot of folks wake up and pay attention.  However, were you guys so addicted to bitcoin back when we were stuck at that price?  Maybe, maybe not.  But I myself find that I'm checking the price of bitcoin a lot more frequently now that the market has gone full retard.  This always happens in runaway bull markets--every single one of them.  There were stories around 1929 about doctors who were neglecting patients because they were so fixated on the stock market.  That's normal.

But we all know how the year 1929 ended, right?  Bitcoin right now is frighteningly similar to that bubble and the internet stock bubble.  You guys may not think so, but I'm tellin' y'all.  It is.

Well it is crypto addiction and almost everyone is addicted to it.  
In the early days when you are introduced to cryptocurrency, in these days people are very much excited and want to become a crypto expert over the night. I personally used to be very much excited and use to read a lot about cryptocurrency. In these days I had no time for facebook, YouTube or anyother activity which was not released to cryptocurrency.
Even now I give most of my time to cryptocurrency exchanges, bitcointalk forum and other cryptocurrency activities. Later on you find things become normal and you are adjusted to this routine with being a bit calm.

[newgal2017]

We're the same i keep myself being updated about the cryptocurrencies, available jobs, cheking e-mails etc. and doing it again, But i think it's not healthy enough you should give yourself a break at least a day the key in here is "Time Management" You can do your things good by using  time management. For example 3 hours on the forum, 3 hours on market etc. and give yourself a break.

[xianbits]

I believe most of us in the forum are doing the same thing. Even in my weekends and holidays, I am in the forum and crypto-related sites most of these days. It maybe normal to us members but for some people who don't know this, we are addicts! I really hate how I compromise my sleep just to stay up here, but that's it, I think I can't control myself anymore.
But with these supports from the community, crypto esp bitcoin cannot be destroyed easily.

In my own case, my job really does not create that amount of time to expand the cycle like what Op is doing my own cycle is somehow shrink in the sense that, what I do is visit the forum, read some latest things happening, contribute if it interest me, check the exchange sites I have some coins to see how its doing, go to twitter to know if there are new tweets that needs to be acted upon, then go back to work. After about say 2 hours repeat the same thing but during weekend that I am not going to work, its basically the forum and just take some hours to do something else.

LOL, its called a price alarm brother

there is nothing wrong with being enthusiastic, but make sure to turn that knowledge into profit. knowledge for its own sake is a waste of efficiency when time is a factor. its cool when scientists research random minute shit when there is time to ponder on the little details. but the longer you wait with bitcoin, at least for the sake of adoption, the more you will miss out. use that knowledge to get a support job at an exchange, or pick up a gig on the forum.

welcome to the fold. keep that zeal; it gets hard to be here some days

[waynechong1995]

I wonder what's your reason of repeating the cycle? You wanna get latest news on price/top gainer and loser to see your investment had hit? Mayb you are a frequent and sensitive trader that buy/sell in minutes, otherwise it would be unhelpful actually to see that often, let's say you are holding just set a coin alarm while reading real articles/analysis regarding crypto. Looking charts all day long on 1000+ coin couldn't help to process any insightful Infront based  on my experience.

Just buy some blue chip, check each quarter xD

[Indrawan77]

I think it is good to be actively involved in crypto currencies, but I think you are a bit addictive to it, life should be balance and the price wont change a lot in a minute, you should take it easy, sometimes I also can be carried away and, i usually doing that routines when there is a big events like this coming hardfork, other than that I don't that often keep on checking the price

seems you have a fancy life for doing those things Me, when i woke up i am checking my phone and look for the price of my coin that i am HODling , opening my laptop to open bitcointalk.org forum. Reading is my habbit so i always read some interesting thread here throughout this forum all day. When im done i sleep for about 4-6 hrs a day. Become very active here lately.

[tyuner4]

This is true, many of us should be facing this “crypto addiction”.  I check out crypto related stuffs whenever I get my phone on my hands. Reading Bitcointalk, crypto news, checking out new projects, coins’ price and others. I don’t intend to stop or reduce the time doing it because I enjoy.

[darthmaul]

Yes.

Me too. Since the morning wake up alarm I get my hands of my lappy and hit the bitcointalk first of all, checkout all the new hypes in the announcement section and discussion. Then I will always go to coinrmarketcap to see how my alt coin are doing and then next destination is exchanger where I will see whether my coins are sold for autostrade or not. It feels always good to do that and its getting habitual now.

More often if I'm seeing any new ICO then I will keep reading about it and will seek for its white paper etc. This is interesting as I can just know any upcoming opportunity to get more profits. This is how everything is working for me. Around the clock behind the bitcoin. Cool.

[frowsiter]

Congratulation on becoming true crypto lover. LOlz.

Yes that is what life is for crypto enthusiast. We are all strangled with its value, the way it trades in the market, all the hyper active news about bitcoin driving us crazy many times and much more. The journey of crypto world is just perfect in all the sense for example getting ourself to know how to manage the time and how to manage our assets. Those who are completely into trades will always know how to deal with loss situation and over come the frustration. This all can be achieved after putting whole efforts into it, like moving around it 24*7-365 days. Thats not different but its more or less same for every one who is into crypto currency world. Lets hope we see bright future with it always.

[BelieveInBitcoin]

I can recognise this behaviour as I, too, am obsessed. But there are so many opportunities in crypto that I can't help thinking am I obsessed enough?

[fishbonez11]

Doesn't sound very healthy, man. You still need some sort of physical exercise. What's the point of earning a lot of money when you'll die sooner and not later aye?

I think this is what I do in every day several months ago but now I am not too often to do what I do before. I realize that we have real life in out there that needs us to get involved. it is good if we can do routine like what you do but remember we have another things in our life with other people. we don't have to be addicting in crypto world, we need to meet other people to talk, I mean real conversation, we need to do other things in our life to get balance for our life.

[nappoleon]

You're experiencing what I call cryptobug. I've been like that for about a year now. Just try not to skip meals, and still try to get at least 8 hours of sleep. Let me guess, you watch aantonop videos?

[asdlolciterquit]

cryptoworld run super fast...maybe too fast.

I have a lot of difficulties to follow all the airdrop, all the new great project, all the drop and rise of price and i'm sad because i miss a lot of opportunities

Good thing it doesn't work that way for me. I try as much as possible to not focus that much in observing the movement of coins or bitcoin itself. It makes me anxious especially if there's high movement. So basically i still am able to continue my regular routines everyday
