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 learnt 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 thought you some lessons, same as the second and while you read this article, you could remember the latest lesson you learnt…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 game pads for so long without pausing to take a look at the cryptocurrency price tracker. Coinmarketcap used to be my favourite, 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, and your guess is right, the people here loves it!

You’re addicted, same as your friend who just joined three days ago and the newbie who just heard ‘bitcoin’ three hours ago! What’s the current gainers? A new ATH? Are we close to breaking the resistance? Whole lot of rhetoric questions getting answered by the charts, you’d love this space the first minute you jump in! Now, 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 the gadgets more than humans, that’s weird, I know…but that’s normal here!

Onlookers would wonder what changed, nothing really did, someone just needs to look at the charts more and look out for flying information which are really 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 a very large 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, endeavour 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!

I am not a crypto trader myself (just yet), but from what I see from the people who trade, you can tell that, sleep and consistent parties are not really their friend, instead the device which they use to monitor the market will proudly replace that.

Yeah, that has got to be the old way. With copy-trading and bot trading, we don't need to be addictive to charts or devices anymore.
I use them a lot and it's even more reliable at times than trading individually.
AI is here also to simplify a lot of things haha!

Copy trading has its own detriments. And can you even call yourself a trader if you just copy another person's trade?

Copying trades doesn't mean you just copy someone's position without due diligence and also you'll need to key in your risk management parameters yourself. The elite trader manages your trade position on your behalf
