Is crypto addictive? I think so!
Wait, is this even a question? Well, I guess you answered the first question with some frown on your face, I mean, a little flashback… a couple of months before you got to learn about cryptocurrency and a couple of weeks (say two) after you learned about cryptocurrency; a whole lot changed during this little space of time, well, it even got worse some weeks later.
Your first shot at cryptocurrency certainly taught you some lessons, same as the second and while you read this article, you could remember the latest lesson you learned…that was just a couple of hours ago. This space moves so fast! Faster than a jet; uhm, that was just an exaggeration, but true to a very large extent. You can even call it an understatement and you’ll be very right.

Personally; it’s been a bumpy ride for me, from the very last quarter of 2017 till the time of writing this, and even while you read it, the crypto space has grown from a stranger to an addiction, well, I became an addict a few days into this! FIFA 2016 was probably the last edition of the popular soccer game I enjoyed the most; three hours of non-stop gaming! That’s almost impossible currently! I can only dream of wielding the gamepads for so long without pausing to take a look at the cryptocurrency price tracker. Coinmarketcap used to be my favorite, guess Binance took away its beauty…shhh, I didn’t say that out loud!
You could live for a couple of minutes without checking what’s going on in the space, but trust me you’d have a lot of past events the next time you check up on us! This space moves too fast; your guess is right, the people here love it!
You’re addicted, like your friend who just joined three days ago and the newbie who just heard ‘bitcoin’ three hours ago! What are the current gainers? A new ATH? Are we close to breaking the resistance? A whole lot of rhetoric questions getting answered by the charts, you’d love this space the first minute you jump in! Did I mention that this depends on whether you are gaining or losing? Nope, I didn’t; because it doesn’t. Winning or losing, this space gives you something to keep checking up on.
Slowly becoming an introvert? No more parties, uhm, a little less this time around! Your lifestyle keeps changing, just like a computer programmer, you’re slowly getting to love gadgets more than humans, that’s weird, I know…but that’s normal here!
Onlookers would wonder what changed, but nothing really did, someone just needs to look at the charts more and look out for flying information which is more important than you’d think. Did Trump just pronounce his love for cryptocurrency? Which project teams are announcing an important ‘partnership’? project events and giveaways? Well, the list is inexhaustible. Just like an interesting sports game, something keeps you waiting, time passes fast, and you are slow to notice! But that’s crypto!
Coming from forex or stock trading, you’d think things will be the same to an extent, frankly, you’re not wrong, but there’s a whole lot to it; so much that you might call them ‘totally different’, if you found yourself in this situation, then yes, you got the right perception.
Alright, you think otherwise? Yes, a couple of people do, but try hiding the pretense, or let me be fair for a while, you’re still a step away from hitting the addiction threshold!
Cryptocurrency is addictive, I don’t think so…I know so. But, it takes a while before you discover your addictions, whenever you do, endeavor to rush back and give this article a tip (any needed address will be provided!...lol). If you’re already an addict like myself, then you could sponsor my next pill by sending that tip!
To be fair enough, let’s hear from you; is cryptocurrency addictive? The comments section is wide open!
Crypto is really quite addictive and that is the reason we really need to be very careful of what we do
Well, I like this particular addiction!
A lot of things are happening in the crypto sphere that can easily make one addicted and glued to their devices. People that are extroverts before are now becoming introverted after discovering crypto. I think this is just the reality we find ourselves in. But on the overall, it is a good ride.
Nice piece buddy.
Good ride for sure!
I can't say about others but if you talk about me then my answer is yes. I left my job because of crypto and my most of the time spent in crypto related things so yes I am addicted
If you use your time here well, you'll be happy you left your job!
Very funny images you used here buddy, but that's just the truth, so many things are happening at the same time and we need to keep our heads and minds in the game too.
Hi @joelagbo
I know that feeling pretty well. Waking up in the middle of the night to use a bathroom and using that time to check price of BTC hehe
I love that comparison. Nice read again buddy
ps.
it seem that we both started our adventure with crypto around the same time. End of 2017 :)
I think all the OGs came into the space in 2017. Good times!
