Addiction?

[iagyei259]

I don't call it addiction, I call it business. I treat cryptocurrency trading and research as a career ,hence if I spend my time on Cryptos, then it isn't addiction .

Do you ever feel like you're overly obsessed with cryptocurrencies or trading/investing in general?
Personally, I'm fairly satisfied with my investments/decisions so far but yet I'm looking for market opportunities most of the time. I think that's mainly because of the fact that majority of my time browsing the internet I watch related content. I'm passionate quite passionate about it.

Over time it kinda makes me feel depressed that I don't make as much as I possibly could or others have better scores (some unhealthy jealousy I guess?), so this "paper-chasing" has become a target itself.

When I want to take a break from all this stuff for let's say a month or week at least then I'm not able to because I'm afraid that I will miss out on something.
On the one hand, I have made investments in projects I believe in so I could leave it for few months even and then back but at the other hand, I'm still not quite sure about my diversification so I keep watching the market.

Can anyone relate?

I definitely remember having that addiction feeling back when i first started trading but now I dont really pay much attention to the prices because not much happens.  Im just holding and waiting for another bull run and then ill start paying more attention.  However, i definitely still do have the feeling of jealousy because im not making enough but i try to put those feeling at bay because they lead to bad trading decisions.

I guess we all started feeling the same way, specially when we are too focused on the market status hourly or on a daily basis, the fluctuation of price, and doing lots of research which we forget the true purpose of our goals and concern about Bitcoin that. I realized that everything that is too much does not always give positive results, you might miss some of the important details and wondering why you still fail. It's about working smartly, strategically, and positively.

Nobody becomes a great performer without having to go through lots of failures and mistakes. We are all shaped by our experiences whether it's a good or bad one. We may be addicted with so many things around us and lose our control, but sometimes we need to remind oursleves that any decisions done recklessly would be ineffective.

Some people became addicted in crypto trading, especially those traders that are newly engage their experience in cryptocurrencies and they gain profits in a small period of time.

Yes earning profit in day trading makes some of users really addicted about bitcoin as they are making good profit from which they have become really followers of trading and they have strong faith about it that someday they will become rich and gradually millionaires with bitcoin day trading, I choose long term trading because I have found it easier and higher in profit than using day trading only so I think better to sue both as addiction and as job.

You can't be wrong with holding long term. Much easier for most of us, although it still involves risk, but knowing crypto currency, eventually we all know that by imploring this strategy, to don't need to exert effort as compare to day traders and less trouble.

But I will admit that at the beginning of my crypto trading journey, I was very addictive because I was learning the tricks in hope I will earn making good returns from my investment. But as I have matured, I spend less time and will just do trade if I feel doing it. So no pressure at all and I take all my losses in stride and move on.

It is not that i addicted to crypto, it is that i am desperately waiting for huge profits. I do keep check my balance to see whether i am profited or losing the amount with the coins i have. This automatically comes, when the money involved. I am a bit ealy trader, i am trading since 10 months now. Though i haven’t sell any coins at a loss, i keep check the prices if i can sell at a higher price to get some profits out of it.

I do not know whether I'm addicted to investing in this market. But my time is almost devoted to computers for research and investment. But I realized that the profits it brought me were not high.

[alminium]

If you feel the same thing. The fact is you actually get a lot of Bitcoin out of trouble last month, you lost profits and most of the initial investment. Now you feel very frustrated and I feel obsessed to recover your losses. Until now I am still in the process of learning new things and now to trade. You have seen a lot of obsessions here and I want to be one of them and you want to earn money from the campaign, with my trade can promote and encourage your friends to do it.

[Jorheen]

I'm not yet addicted. I think, there are still a lot of space for improvement and learning the trading of bitcoins. But I already tried investing into stock markets. I may not have enough time to monitor the ups and downs of the prices. And I guess sooner I would be one of the addicts. 😊

[ToyotaFortuner]

yes i also feel that way, i like addicted to cryptocurrency i am very obsessed for trading bitcoin altcoin because also i ever get huge profit from trading so it makes me become addicted.

[kolega]

I have always believed and believe that in order to achieve success in some business, you must be on the good obsessed with this business. Such a healthy fanaticism. This encourages you to learn more information, becomes more professional.

I live and breathe crypto. I've been involved with cryptocurrencies since 2012 and I still feel ecstatic every morning when I fire up my blockfolio and check the market. I am so happy to be living in the time of blockchain revolution. So yeah, I can safely say I am addicted

It is both addiction and business. you know, many times, when the market was bleeding I was going to quit to deal with the cryptocurrency. However, I understood that I could not refuse from trading.

[lorapalmer]

You can not know everything, what crypto and when is better to buy and to sell. I can see a perfectionist in you  
I'm trying to combine my full-time job and crypto trading. It is very important to have that life-work-crypto balance in life Though the profit you can make with crypto is very attractive, I am controlling myself.

I also sometimes feel the same way with you, always watching the market movement so that it can make the right choice when the price starts to move, but I think it is not addiction, but the excessive worry of yourself who is afraid to lose by the time you leave it for some time , so you will feel more calm if you can see it every time

[radjie]

the passion you have is amazing, by making the most of the time and never being satisfied with the results obtained by investing in big profitable projects. on the other hand you are a true kriptocurrency trader who can not leave to continue to monitor market price movements for the sake of profit. but sometimes do not be too obsessed to continue to achieve success in this field, you should take advantage of a little time to socialize with the people around so as not easy to be stressed because it is always thinking of online activities in this field.

I can call it an addiction. We are all addicted to somebody or something - family, lovers, children, money, home, work. Trading and crypto business is not so bad addcition.

Yep, sometimes I spend half of my day looking at the price movement and going on circles thinking if I'm going to dump my coins or not. hehehe. I don't know if its goes or not, but I was able to function normally so I guess I'm not that addicted as others.

Although if I'm in the zone in my trading, I'm in front on my laptop, very busy and animated specially if the coins that I'm eyeing or have bought at a discount suddenly pumps. I guess everyone here knows that kind of feeling.

[minairia3]

FOMO. As a trader you need to figure how to manage this one as it's one of the hype vulnerabilities in the crypto or any trading. This could kill your plan. But I’m all your side about the feeling being addicted not with the missing out but with the idea one crypto advocates.

[financialgoal]

If you can't control your emotion then its hard for you to trade. Addiction on trading is quiet good for me because you have a goal there that needs to accomplish.
