Sunday Morning 9:02 am: Had a late night last night and I should sleep in for a few more hours, but I really have to check my blockfolio. Maybe something bad has happened in crypto that I need to be aware of or maybe something awesome has happened and I need to think about selling some profit before it goes down again. Or maybe even the impossible has happened overnight and I'll finally be getting that lambo today. Nope all good, all stable.
Should I say good morning to my girlfriend and wake her up? Maybe I could make her breakfast and surprise her, that would make her really happy. Na I'll sleep a little longer
9:03 am: Got 1 minutes rest then I thought I should have actually reviewed each coin properly and check the 24 hour ups and downs. Reviewed, all and everything was OK. Nothing has changed. I guess that's good.....it's not bad I guess.....better than the value dropping
Yes I have blockfolio addiction and it's more common than you think. A recent comprehensive survey conducted by myself found that 75% of the population are suffering Blockfolio Addiction (3 respondents). The other 25% aren't invested in crypto and don't know what blockfolio is (my mate Robbo the idiot)
How do you know if you suffer Blockfolio Addiction (BA)?
Do you check your blockfolio before you go to sleep and as soon as you wake up?
Did you check your blockfolio while reading this article?
Do you refresh you blockfolio when your friends are talking to you about boring topics (anything other than crypto)?
When you are bored instead of watching porn do you refresh your blockfolio first?
Are you infinitely happier when you blockfolio shows you gains and morbidly depressed when you see falls?
If you answered yes to more than one of these questions than you are suffering from BA. If you answered yes to all then you need serious help.
My mate Robbo says the best thing to do is stop investing in "magic internet money" and get back onto investing in horse racing, pokie machines and spend more time watching porn.
Interested to hear from others suffering from BA and how you are dealing with this serious affliction
But I think though, if you can look at blockfolio and that's it, just look... I think youll survive, if you hop on the computer after every time u bust the app open... theres a group somewhere for ya :P
cheers and thanks for the awesome read. upvoted :)

I used to do the same with gold and silver price checks. Eventually I just grew outta it. It's always gonna go up and down and u gotta realise if youre in this for the long-term you're only gonna drive yourself nuts checking the value of whatever alot. Because it doesn't really matter..

I feel the hurt, and the biggest problems the robbo's of the world dont understand us! And with that I mean my wife dusnt understand me, ohw the struggle, (just checked blockfolio ;-)
But the question is are we doing something wrong because the first user of the telephone was also crazy, and see us now. So maybe we are normal, or is the ant normal.
The struggle, checked Blockfolio again ;-)

Damn, the first weeks of investment and trading were exactly like that, checking in more times a day, and with the 1st of August event there is even more paranoia! Anyway I invested in some long term coins, so I wait for now and when I want to spend a day trading I just focus on that. Now I kinda check once a day what the value of my coins is! Anyway I do not know blockfolio and I find it interesting!

You know whats even worse, when you forget your phone before you leave and your forced to pay attention to things, like in my case had to watch a movie and be 100% commited to it, I just about lost my mind, I think Im having trouble even listening to peoples boring conversations. Even harder is trying to look like your actually trying to pay attention. Im finding it exhausting. I think my swipe down finger has a calis from swipping 10000x a day.

Well.... I was just a regular guy a few short years ago. Had a regular job devoid of any meaning , took an annual holiday by the ocean... usual stuff. Then one day while walking back from my lunch break I came across a stray DOGE. I took it in and that was the beginning of the end. I would DASH out of social situations anxiously searching the latest moon, not caring an IOTA what my friends thought. My STATUS at work tanked. IT was crypto clear to anyone who cared to look that I was running out of STEEM but I had to hang in and burn fiat. MY lambo day would come I knew it. Soon I stopped eating to afford more crypto. I developed an ETHereal look from living in the basement constantly checking my Blockfolio like some GOLEM hodling his precious... I have reached the end of my TETHER

I know the feeling.
However, I have stopped looking at my app (Coin Cap) in terms of value if I know that I dont have reached a new All Time High. The last All Time High for me was around a month ago.
But I believe that Bitcoin will make a new ATH soon and that will most likely result in an ATH for my portfolio as well.

Ha Ha, yes one can immerse themselves into the world of crypto investing. The market can seem erratic, especially from anyone without the technical skills to have a higher certainty rate of trading. Of course, unless you have an inside track to know ahead of time something that may trigger a big BOOM for a certain coin. In that case, you've stashed your coins in anticipation of the big Bounce so you can sell some. All of this leads to an adrenaline rush, along with money and dreams of getting that much needed vacation trip to a sunny beach!
