[MoneyGuardian]

I am addicted to the four things you mentioned. But along with this I try to keep some more things in my mind. Keeping a general idea about the other situation going forward, I think it is an important issue. Although I'm not much addicted to the moon issue.

Yes, I am addicted at number 1, 2 and 4. And I'm really happy for this addiction of Bitcoin. By the coinmarketcap, we are always trying to understand what the situation is. And I want to keep this addiction for long run.

[GabrielBrandon]

Really shocking and very unique article because all of these things happen to me and frankly speaking I'm proud to be a Bitcoin addicted person.

[BlockchainGod]

This is the consequences of our illness - crypto insanity When I first started in bitcoin I also suffered from it, now- I become colder.

[Renai0925]

These traits that you mentioned are more on obsession than addiction. From a HODLers point of view, I don't have any of these traits. Doesn't mean that I don't care. But because with this kind of obsession, it's a straight road to depression based on bitcoin's current situation.

[GhostKnight]

Absolutely right. Those who have investment in market, they have a habit of checking current market price constantly. And also, they have other habits as you mentioned. When woke up in the morning very 1st thing I do is check the current market price.

[Eurobot]

You are completely right. Those who have venture in advertise, they have a propensity of checking current showcase cost continually. Conjointly , they have other propensities as you specified. When woke up within the morning exceptionally 1st thing I do is check the current advertise cost.

Let’s face it ladies and gentlemen, we all love Bitcoin right? However, we notice ourselves that every single day, we have our own habits in our daily lives. However, it all changed when we expose ourselves too much in Bitcoin and in the world of cryptocurrency.

Without further ado, I will share to you the common “signs and symptoms” that you are suffering from Bitcoin addiction:

1. Your Google Chrome/Firefox/Safari browser always have a tab reserved for CoinMarketCap

Hahaha!! I am so, so, so guilty of this one! When I was working or browsing with some stuff, I noticed that CoinMarketCap tab is present for most of the time. You know why? It is because the volatility of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are so high, in which the price could change drastically whether if moons or dips.

I don’t know about you guys, though. Unless if you are a Bitcoin day trader, you would always reserve a tab for CoinMarketCap.

2. You are not excited in conversations unless if it’s about Bitcoin, blockchain, etc.

Ever since I engaged myself into cryptocurrency, I started to become passionate with it. However, I started to notice that when my family and friends are talking about their interests, I’m starting to get bored and may only socialize a little with them. However, when someone is mentioning about Bitcoin, blockchain, etc., my excitement level increases to talk more about that.

I know you guys are feeling the same thing, but not all, it depends.

3. You are excited when you hear the word “moon”

Of course, of course, of course!!! I love it when I hear that word “moon” because it is all about profiting from my Bitcoin investment. Not only Bitcoin though, but other coins and tokens as well that I am engaging with.

Every time I hear it, it’s like I cannot wait to check the charts once again. How about you guys?

4. Checking the price and charts is the first thing to do when you wake up and before you sleep


I am super, super, super guilty of this! I usually sleep around 2 AM to 3 AM, and before I sleep and turning off my Macbook Air, I check the price first. And when I wake up, I opened it and check CoinMarketCap immediately. Lol

I just don’t know if you guys are having the same habit as me, but it is what it is when we are having too much exposure with Bitcoin, blockchain, etc.

Are you suffering from Bitcoin addiction? Well then, welcome to the club!

You have done your research perfectly well, It is like you are a prophet talking about me. What I do now in order to concentrate when pastor is preaching in the church is keeping my phone at home to avoid checking coinmarketcap in the church.

[ralle14]

For no reason I always check coinmarketcap for the prices even though I don't trade Bitcoins/alt I still do it because it's interesting to watch the volatility of different coins.

It's so funny to read the comments on this thread and on reddit admitting that they have a Bitcoin addiction.

Those signs and symptoms didn't originally came from OP if you read the red text. A source linking to a reddit thread was also shared by mjglqw.

[kwabeedat]

Haha lol...you have some really nice analysis done there. The crypto addiction is in deed a mind blower. Anyways i like your fourth point and I think I fall into that category. I can't stop checking prices at each minute.

[Kimi80]

I do have tab reserved for coinmarketcap but everything else is something that I was doing in the past. I am not in that mood anymore, I am doing all the things that are mentioned but not that passionately. Just in level of regular daily routine.

[ambisyon]

In my own opinion, I may admit that being in the crytocurrency is already part o my routine and I do not consider it as btc addiction. We had reasons why we always start to check everyday at CMC since we are after for the the market update whether it is up or down trend mainly because of the investment you had made on btc and altcoins. Also, I usually open this forum because of my bounty campaign participation that I need to comply daily. I know that the  time for the family and friends has cut down a bit because of my involvement with btc in general since I need to do it.

[Demonster]

That's true matter. Bitcoin lover don't show inteest anything else except bitcoin. They don't want to learn something else without bitcoin. But it's need to change with their mind.

[Gadhoh]

Ignoring your friends and family, withdrawing from social interaction, and being obsessed about price charts are not health habits to be developing. Addiction is not something to be laughing and joking about.

You sound like you need to take a break from crypto, re-engage with your social networks and develop or re-develop other interests and hobbies.

but this is not as bad as drugs or gambling, because this concerns a future, and indeed bitcoin is not forbidden so I think it's good too. It can make your life better because I am a bitcoin user who has already felt how positive the benefits are after getting a profit in the bitcoin business.

[bitbunnny]

I have found myself in three of four points you have mentioned. Is this addiction or not we could discuss. Still if you are involved in Bitcoin for a long time like I am, some things simply become a habit. And we now that habits can easily turn to addiction but on the other hand if you want some serious gain from Bitcoin you have to be seriously involved.

[virendarnagpal]

Wonderfully all the above symptoms exist in me.  After reading the article written by OP I checked these in myself.  All these are present in my daily routine.  I want to see the price chart daily more than once.  I take more interest in bitcoin / crypto related discussion as compared to any other topic.  I also want await moon as stated by OP.  So I think these are the habbits I think most of the members of the forum will be having.  

[Nightingale2]

I don't know how cryptotab work and make people benefitted who use chrome and mozila. Hear that it's use to mine bitcoin.And because bitcoin becomes most popular coin and that's make people addict on it.

[IslandLady]

ALl these four points are so attractive to be addicted with Bitcoin. Last feature , that attract me so much. I think choose varying person to person for their addiction.
