How Many of you consider yourself a Crypto Addict?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Has anyone else felt this same way? Any stories?
