How Many of you consider yourself a Crypto Addict?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>How many of you would consider yourself a crypto addict? That can entail constantly checking the charts to see price movement or even constantly browsing this subreddit since that is crypto related. </p> <p>Speaking on the first area, I had a REALLY bad addiction to looking at charts on my phone when I first started crypto in 2016. I had been invested in stocks before but this was way different. Constantly changing prices, pump and dumps, and 24/7 trading. It was new, exciting, and I was hooked. </p> <p>Then came the 2017 bull run and it was the wild west. Notifications going off like crazy, pricing swings like a pendulum, and just hysteria. I could not stop looking at my phone and it became a real problem that impacted my family time. </p> <p>I now limit myself to checking charts once in the morning, once during lunch, and once before bed. I am no longer a day trader (did ok in 2017 but realized that is not the life for me) so this is more manageable now but I will admit, I still fail at that sometimes especially if a project/coin I own has some big event or news following it. </p> <p>Has anyone else felt this same way? Any stories?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/liveaskings"> /u/liveaskings </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/11yyvlb/how_many_of_you_consider_yourself_a_crypto_addict/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/11yyvlb/how_many_of_you_consider_yourself_a_crypto_addict/">[comments]</a></span>
