Bitcoin Addict

[Ozero]

Don't worry mate. Wait for the inevitable bear market(whenever that will be) and I could almost guarantee that it will fix your "addiction", as you're probably going to hate seeing the Bitcoin logo by then

This is a really good solution. We are very passionate about our cryptocurrencies when the market is doing well and our cryptocurrencies are growing rapidly in value. However, when a bear market comes and prices fall, and then stand still for a long time, you don't even want to look at their price once again. Therefore, this is all an obsession. It will pass over time.

I think addiction is not a good thing, it's make human don't think clearly and logically. Now I invest in bitcoin but I don't addicted to it. Usually I only check the price of bitcoin two times a day at morning and night, and I only spend 10-15 minutes for it. In the past as a bounty hunter I spent more than 12 hours to collect cryptocurrencies but now I  more become an investor. I invest in promising cryptocurrencies and take profit at bullish market. I realize that do something that too much is not so good. We need balance and enjoy our life. My suggestion is to diversify your investment so your focus and pressure will be decrease.

Addiction with bitcoin is normal mate but unless if you know how it really works and despite of being addicted in it you keep making money from it as well, i mean especially when the price is keep increasing because you know mostly nowadays are losing money because of being greedy and lack of knowledge , so instead of obtaining profits they're losing money everytime after investing in it. For me it's not addiction wherein its called a wasting money to be honest because indeed if you are really addicted in such things you will do everything to become successful.. Not when you see the price is up you will buy but despite you don't have any idea what will be results afterwards.. Lol

[Lucius]

Addiction is never healthy. All kinds of it. Anything which is beyond moderation is not good. Bitcoin is good of course but if you are extremely obsessed with it, you will suffer the consequences.

I agree with your opinion, any addiction is dangerous, although we will all agree that addiction to Bitcoin would be a much smaller danger than an addiction to say drugs or alcohol. Maybe the OP really only has one passing period where he just thinks a lot more about Bitcoin than usual, and that’s perfectly normal considering we’re in a very interesting period when many expect an even higher price than it is now.

I would say that there is a difference between the obsession of the average person and someone who trades in cryptocurrencies - because if someone spends 8 hours everyday trading, can we call him obsessed or just dedicated to his job? I would say that if something preoccupies us most of the time and interferes with our normal functioning, then it may be a sign of alarm.

This is like equivalent to K-pop for me. You are a superfan of Bitcoin. You love Bitcoin, cherish Bitcoin, want to be always with Bitcoin, cannot live without Bitcoin. Yah, that is a super fan, or a die-hard fan. I don't know if the Bitcoin maximalists are similar to what you are experiencing but I think theirs is purely business like and professional. Well, there are others who are supporters of other coins also, and as long as you don't hurt yourself in the process, then by all means, be inspired with Bitcoin.

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?

You should really get out more as it'll help expand your horizons. Anyone who wants a bright and prosperous future should always be aiming to diversify the assets that they own. You'll be at huge risk in future if any adverse events happen to the cryptocurrency market - I'm thinking of regulatory action by most of the economically biggest countries in the world. We already saw how just China effectively banning bitcoin had a very large impact on the price, it would be crippled if America or large parts of Europe started taking similar unfriendly actions towards it. Bitcoin as it is has already had most of the price action that it is likely to see, it gets exponentially harder for the price to increase from this point.

You're not probably addicted, just find another way to pass the time, that might be the case for you, I mean if you're not doing anything, you will end up thinking about something that you're obsessed about.

[rodskee]

My friend, you need to forget about the existence of Bitcoin and this forum for a while.

yeah he needs that well , I also comes out this forum before specially when the market is dumping , i go around and just checking my account to post for a while but not checking the market or sections in which needs to remind me about my investments.

but OP seems to be no where to go but this forum alone, looks like he has no real life activities aside from posting here to earn some bucks.

You're not probably addicted, just find another way to pass the time, that might be the case for you, I mean if you're not doing anything, you will end up thinking about something that you're obsessed about.

That is definitely what he must do, because there is not future if he just  lurk around the forum and check the prices from time to time .

[Kittygalore]

I think this thread should be locked already, seems to me that a lot of the users offer the same reply that it's not an addiction or that it could jsut be sone sort of behavioral thing on OP. To OP, how can you be addicted to bitcoin, there's no stimulant that can trigger your brain into overdrive.

[ccFOUND]

You are not addicted to Bitcoins but its value because it is money that fluctuates in price and a very big percentage of people are addicted to money. We appreciate your enthusiasm towards Bitcoins that you are so deeply interested in the technology and it is also being printed on your mind. Try to give your addiction a positive direction and learn how you can earn it, and how you can live a better life with it.

Remembered the time we talked about this? Well, this is one prime example

I think I will agree with what they said that it isn't addiction but its more on an obsession.

Now lets say that you're addicted into it like you said, it will never be a good thing because there is no addiction that is good. You can support Bitcoin the way you wanted to but don't put yourself to the point that you will be addicted or obsessed into it.

I think that you can recover from what you are feeling just by yourself and if you can't then you must need help. Staying away from crypto in general might be helpful for you

[concept2]

Having an addiction is not good at all. Try to wash your mind with new hobby or spiritual life. Bitcoin is good cause of bringing more income and extra money for households and individual. But becoming obsessed with it consumes a huge amount of time. Instead of looking at the charts everyday, why don't you take some exercise to increase your health or spend your time learning something new. To me, knowledge is the most important thing rather than money. When people are too focusing on money, it is the best time to obtain more information, knowledge and data of the cryptocurrency. With the new wisdom I have, I might make a better judgement or decision in this financial world without stretching my eye and looking at the computer

After all, it is just money. Does money make you happy ?

Addiction is bad whether it be drugs, gambling or bitcoin. Bitcoin addiction may or may not be good and that depends on how you use your coins.
Addiction is something that cannot be done willingly. You cannot willingly become an addict. Addiction is when you don't want to do a particular thing but you still do it.
Accumulating bitcoin is a good thing but buying bitcoin when you don't have the money to buy it is something that should be avoided.
We should always follow the rule "Invest only what you can afford to lose" for a healthy living.

I prefer to be addicted to bitcoin than gambling

As addicted to bitcoin can make us try to make more and more bitcoin before the price increases too high. Many people who know bitcoin will always talk about bitcoin with their friends because talking about bitcoin really make us excited and curious about what next will happen to bitcoin.

But I think I do not addict to bitcoin and I hope that I can balance my life with doing many things and not just think about bitcoin.

Kind of addiction which you can know that you could really take advantage of it since we are dealing with an investment even though its would be still risky or a gamble but the odds or chances that you would experience some return or investment or profits is really there which is incomparable to gambling.

It is just you do only need to make control of everything.Its okay that you do mind off on much about bitcoin but you don't still forget on things that you should must do.

Don't make things complicated if it isn't really needed to. Just be having that kind of balance and everything should be alright.

Theoretically, a person can get addicted to anything, from objects and people, to activities of any kind, like games, or shopping or even talking on the phone.

But what I can say for sure is that seeing Bitcoin logo with your eyes closed is totally not normal. I mean, I also see things that I’m into when I dedicate too much time to it, it’s how brain works. But if it’s on a regular basis, you should probably do something about it. Either take a break, or maybe even see a doctor.

Being addicted to Bitcoin will only left you in an emotional state where your emotions will be fluctuating according to the way the price of Bitcoin zigzagly moves. I have never had of Bitcoin addiction because it's an abstract to me also a form of wealth that one can accumulate. If you intend being addicted to bitcoin, then be ready to face it all, during it to falls and rise. Even those who are becoming Millionaires through Bitcoin are not still addicted to it...maybe you need to bring out the context of what you meant by Bitcoin addiction.

It's like a disease that really needs advice from a psychiatrist because if this continues, I'm worried about the mindset of people who are affected by this. because this is no longer a fatal dependence and indeed this is not uncommon, so we need the role of a psychologist or psychiatrist to fix this, at least with that we minimize unwanted things so that things like this don't become extraordinary addictions.

[pinggoki]

I think this is called tetris syndrome. It happens when you devote so much time to a game or an activity which in this case is bitcoin, that you started seeing patterns and things that are related to the activity even after staying away from it from a substantial amount of time. This is completely normal but should be an indicator that you take some rest as well since it takes a huge amount of time for this to manifest to an individual. So drink some water, don't think too much about your investments, and engage in an activity that does not relate to bitcoin or investment for that matter. You should be good by then.

Well you could be right, but then again the only one who can really see what's wrong with him is OP himself. If you think you need medical assistance, then don't delay it and seek professional help as soon as possible, otherwise your situation may worsen. But AFAIK his situation is a bit normal and would be solved by a bit of rest and distraction. Still, my statement stands where if he thinks he needs medical assistance, he should seek one.
