if you had invest in bitcoin, would you follow the price every couple hours? if you had a job you would be more focus on your job than whats on the screen of your phone. you would be fired from your job? maybe. investing in bitcoin is hard on you everyday at every time. it can fall down to 1000$ in 2 hours if you dont pay attention to it. if you wanted to sell before that big dip but you cant because you are at work. invest what you can afford to lose. investing in bitcoin for a person working an 8 hour job is something else. i think thats why the price havent risen lately because people are more worried about their job than investing in a volatile market.
I understand what you are trying to express here. I am also middle class worker and the organisation where I work is pharmaceutical company where phones are not allowed. Previously I used to checkout the prices over desktop internet of organisation but slowly everyone around me started noting that and it was like bothering thing for me. Thats was bad impression really so I decided to quite my habits that I had.
Now I hav full control of myself and I only checkout the crypto whenever I am at home and I do it full time when its weekend. Its better you keep control of both the worlds and it will be hard initially but would be very easy afterwards. Both the worlds are manageable and it is advisable to work on crypto in limited manner and only on those things for which you can afford your time.
