I'm a newbie and have been into crypto for a couple of months now. I must say the advice from other members about not checking trades too often is very good. One can become obsessed with it, and I think the thrill of the "win" can be quite addictive. Similarly that depressed feeling when the world is "red" can be deflating as well. There must be a "happy" medium, if one is to maintain a balanced life.

Monitoring the price of the coins every time is not called addiction. You are just taking advantage on how the market works. Most of the people here just want an easy money because cryptocurrency is volatile and wants to sell when the price rise or dip tremendously. But if you are really a daily trader, you should monitor it carefully. Because in any moment you can earn by a slight dip or slight rise in value. You can buy cheap coins and sell it in a good price. If you are just a holder then I think checking it seldom will work but not as a daily trader.

People can become addicted to anything, in fact I will not be surprised if people became addicted to trading in a similar way people get addicted to do dangerous stuff, it is the same principle many people risk their lives to get a rush and people could risk their money to get the same kind of rush similar to what happens when people gamble a huge amount of money.

The intense feeling of adrenaline rush that we experience within the trading is similar to playing an online game where we must keep up to it and must always be online but we should do it in moderation cause it is a very risky way of living. One single misclick on trading can easily make anyone broke and starve for a couple of days or so.
