Bitcoin Addict

[TheGreatPython]

Whenever I close my eyes, I see the bitcoin logo and price just like the way it is on my device at first I thought it was normal and will fade away with time but it has persisted to this very moment while I was discussing with my other Bitcoin lovers they told me that now an addict.

Addiction isn't the correct word for this, I think you are just obsessed with Bitcoin and the price. It might be a consequence of thinking too much about Bitcoin and/or doing nothing else but checking the price and counting your coins. When I first accumulated 1 BTC a few years back, I felt the same problem. I didn't have the logo in front of me when I closed my eyes, but I was suffering from insomnia and would wake up late at night suddenly to check the price.

Maybe you should try and focus on other activities and distance yourself from the crypto world for a few days or a week. This happens with everyone at some point, so don't worry too much and it's nothing serious either. Students have the same problem during exams.

I do not believe that you can become a “Bitcoin addict”. I do think you can develop compulsive behaviors with your interests.
Moreover, if you feel that those behaviors such as checking your phone to see the value of your BTC, have negative consequences than you may have a problem.
At bottom, if the consequences you feel you’re experiencing from your interest in BTC are causing more problems than the joy you get from being part of the Bitcoin revolution than I think you should talk to a professional health care provider.

One will need to differentiate between the two when you become so associated with a particular activity it may either be an obsession, which can be avoided easily by looking away from it, but if you struggle to detach from it that point it is an addiction. cryptocurrency is highly addictive.

Addiction is serious case up to the point sell your house and lot and everything you possess for Bitcoin. I think you aren't there mate but you are in the place to love Bitcoin deeply even until you sleep you dream about it. For me, just an example the actual Addiction on drugs, alcohol, woman, and casino  could come up to severe health and family problem. Just an opinion

I am aware of the negative impact of addiction it can destroy one's life, and am trying every possible best to avoid it.

if we are addicted to bitcoin, we can say we are included in the terrible category, because if we are addicted we have risked everything we have in bitcoin, land, houses, including the women we love we will bet on bitcoin, it's different if we love, we will always remember, pay attention, and we learn every day,, in my opinion it is better to love than we are addicted, because the risk of being addicted is definitely very heavy..

LOL I am not sure if  you're being 100% honest here, but there really is something as bitcoin or cryptocurrency addicts.  Addiction to anything is a horrible problem and I am of the belief that it is truly a disease.  I have actually seen "help lines" for those whom are addicted to trading bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.  This actually is a legitimate issue for someone people.  It's definitely not a good thing.  Best of luck.

Lately, I exhibited some character which to me is an addiction.

Whenever I close my eyes, I see the bitcoin logo and price just like the way it is on my device at first I thought it was normal and will fade away with time but it has persisted to this very moment while I was discussing with my other Bitcoin lovers they told me that now an addict.

So I would like to ask, is there anything like a Bitcoin addict if yes then please tell me how to become one, cause I will gladly get addicted to Bitcoin again, and again I will become a Bitcoin pro-addict if that is the case.

Will you get addicted to Bitcoin if that is possible?

obsession to have bitcoin I think is the right one, not addiction because of the usual addiction to food and drink,
but the obsession of desire that must have as much as one desire

[imstillthebest]

your already addicted and why you want to become more addict ? thats crazy
if we can get addicted in other things then why not in bitcoin ? you can earn money in bitcoin and you can use bitcoin to improve your life , that makes btc addicting but we should put things in place .
when we sleep we dont need to think of our bitcoins anymore because than can interfere our sleep .

I’ve been addicted to bitcoin for years (in a good way). It changed my life, I wouldn’t even be close to the position I am in life now without bitcoin. Some important things to remember are do not panic sell, don’t expect to get rich quickly. Have control of your own private keys & HODL.

I am sure anyone who has ever entered the crypto scenario must find it near impossible to exit this world. There are countless ways like invest, trade, signature, bounties, gamble and even lend your coins to earn money. In that sense even I am addicted to gambling because hardly there goes a day when I am not active on the forum or trading some coins, if neither of these two, I am chilling and gambling.

I am at the point where the price doesn't bother me too much either because I am more actively spending bitcoins than collecting them for future investments. Trust me guys, spending your coins is fun too and not always you will lose them if you are spending them. By spending, I mean trading with other coins or gamble.

This is a sign that you are very focused and serious about your field, namely bitcoin. You seem to have a lot of fun and ambition here. If these conditions do not bother you, no problem. But if these conditions interfere with your rest, then I suggest you to be able to relax a little and enjoy playing bitcoin.

Like what other users say, I think it isn't an addiction, but an obsession with bitcoin. Addiction is something different from obsession. Addiction is being dependent on something until you can't let go and get rid of that certain thing or routine which interferes with how you behave. Meanwhile, obsession is the thought of being so caught up and preoccupied about something and it seems that you can't get it out of your mind. Addiction requires treatment to overcome. Obsession sometimes requires medication for those severe cases, but for those mild cases, diversion of attention such as recreational activity and other forms of activity will do to keep you out from being preoccupied about the thing that you are obsessing with.

I suggest you do other things such as hobbies to let your mind take a break from thinking about btc. Diversification of funds is essential. You must remember that you should not put all of your funds in one place to avoid major loss if things go worse. Also, invest what you only afford to lose. Every investment has its risks.

if I personally at this time I do not say an addiction. because they see bitcoin as a future opportunity and have the right steps to invest. so in this case I'm not saying it's an addiction like the op said. because addiction to bitcoin means that you invest in bitcoin as a hobby and you don't have the right direction.

Investing in bitcoin and being addicted on bitcoin are two different things. I've seen a lot of crypto traders who are seriously addicted to trading, All they have to do is trade online and speculate, they don't think there is a life outside of online trading, It has become an addiction for them like gambling, they do not hesitate to mortgage their houses and cars to invest in the crypto market and expand their portfolio.

If I am as addicted as you, I'll take it as an opportunity to gather knowledge and take it as a chance on how you can actually benefit while being addicted to Bitcoin, why would you try to forcefully make it fade when you can actually take hold onto it, addiction is definitely not good but if it will actually give you such a benefit like earning Bitcoin and studying about it then why not? It's not like you're gambling and losing money right? so why stop when you can become a Bitcoin enthusiast in the future? I am not supporting addiction in any sort, having such hobbies can actually normalize or regulate your love for Bitcoin, you should do that too.

I don't know what bitcoin addiction means here, is it the same as people who like/hobby on an object who will always look for and collect these objects. Or is it the same as people who like to gamble will bet on a price? but whatever the form of addiction is as long as it is positive and feasible, why not...

there are too many words that have similar meaning what others sees as an addiction can be viewed by another as just an obsession, whatever have the chance to get your attention can keep you glue to it and bitcoin as an investment is a profit making means to most people and they keep checking the price consistently which is an obsession.

Obsession and addiction of course have different meanings, in my opinion if we look at the price of bitcoin too often then this is normal, but if we always look at the price every minute and do it every day without any other activity this is what we call addiction. Of course this is not good for our psychology.

I don't understand what is bitcoin addiction. Even if you bitcoin addiction, there are no side effects for it.
I heard about bitcoin gambling addiction only but never heard about this.

- Agree, many people explain bitcoin addiction as a painstaking process of buying bitcoin and opening their eyes just to check the price of bitcoin then living a day with dozens of bitcoin value and information reviews but honestly this is just as good a habit as we go to the gym regularly, instead of having a health meaning, we are here with a physical meaning in bitcoin. However, it is also necessary to have a regime that follows science and is not governed by it, absolutely don't fall into bitcoin trading addiction, unreasonable regime will greatly affect psychology as well as capital

[Cafex]

Why would you want to have an addiction to Bitcoin or anything else? Addiction is not a good thing. It can make someone do unwise things and regret that after some time. Rather than being an addicted person, I would advise you to become an aware investor. You should be able to control yourself about not investing all of your money into Bitcoin. I hear about some addicted people who are doing this. If Bitcoin price decreases sharply, it can affect the person mentally really badly.
