The cryptocurrencies are messing with me again...

in bitcoin •  6 years ago 

I had almost what it is like to own cryptocurrencies. For more than a year, I have been able to focus 100% on my job, and even though I have been paying attention to charts and my favorite cryptocurrencies, they haven't really stolen my focus a lot. But, after 7 days in a very positive wind, it has started to get hard to pay attention again. Suddenly, I find that I am checking my portfolio value and I keep paying attention to crypto-chats and it is getting much harder to concentrate on my actual job and the work I have to do.

Why did so many short orders get filled at once? Are the prices going down again? Man, it is hard to concentrate...

Now, it is very nice to see that the cryptocurrencies are back in the win, but I need to bring some sort of discipline into my life to help me get my work done, instead of losing focus. It has happened to me before, and I don't want it to happen again. And, I have got to say that it also feels scary to see the value of everything go up. How come? Because I have seen similar things before, and after living and experiencing a bear market for more than a year, it is hard to have confidence in the fact that it will remain like this for a long time. And if it should stop and fall back again, I don't want to sit there with an unsatisfied look saying that "I should have sold", but instead I just kept it all, hoping for the value to increase even more.

All of these thoughts are taking much of my attention away from writing all the articles I want to write in the IP Address Guide, and also from creating all those tutorials and videos on YouTube explaining how you can watch TV channels and TV shows online using a VPN connection.

Today, I have spent way more time paying attention to charts, and considering whether I should add a stop-loss to some of my trades or not, and for that reason, I haven't even written one of my planned articles yet. But, I still have some minutes left, so I guess I better get started writing my articles about the Australian TV series Harrow, created by ABC in Australia, and possible to stream on ABC iview in Australia. It is a TV series quite similar to Silent Witnesses in the UK, but still very different due to the personality of Harrow, the man investigating the cases based on the dead bodies he is served in the coronaries office.

I guess I better get finished with this article as well, in order to get started with the article soon to get published in the IP Address Guide about the series Harrow. In short, it is a very cool service and I do enjoy watching it. The only pity is that ABC iview is running with such a poor resolution and quality on their streaming service, making it bearable when you use a computer with a large screen, but if you plan on using a Chromecast or an Apple TV, you will notice that even the best quality available on ABC iview is so poor that you totally miss out on the fun of actually watching the series online.

Are you also paying attention to your portfolio and the charts of your favorite cryptocurrencies at the moment? Is it getting harder to concentrate for you as well?

I know what you mean.
It is hard for me to concentrate these days, too. I probably do cryptocurrency at least 14 hours a day. Sometimes it interferes with my regular job. But that's okay. We're going to get rich later on anyway. We won't even need that job anymore! I'm sorry if i didn't encourage you enough to get on the ball.
