Do you ever feel like you're overly obsessed with cryptocurrencies or trading/investing in general?
Personally, I'm fairly satisfied with my investments/decisions so far but yet I'm looking for market opportunities most of the time. I think that's mainly because of the fact that majority of my time browsing the internet I watch related content. I'm passionate quite passionate about it.

Over time it kinda makes me feel depressed that I don't make as much as I possibly could or others have better scores (some unhealthy jealousy I guess?), so this "paper-chasing" has become a target itself.

When I want to take a break from all this stuff for let's say a month or week at least then I'm not able to because I'm afraid that I will miss out on something.
On the one hand, I have made investments in projects I believe in so I could leave it for few months even and then back but at the other hand, I'm still not quite sure about my diversification so I keep watching the market.

Can anyone relate?

I wouldn't say obsession because I can still control myself in terms of the activities I do in the cryptocurrency market. Also, once you have invested your time and effort, and most especially your money in the market, it would be hard not to do anything and everything just to help your investment become successful in the end. Also, as more and more negative things are happening in the market, seeing the market and studying everything that could help you at least get some leverage to gain success is still a better move than just sitting around and waiting for the tides to turn.
This is actually the clear signs of your future money that makes you passionate about the money you invest in crypto currency. Many people who have invested in the early time in crypto are satisfied for their margin of profit is very high and they just do not have to worry about the loss anymore no matter how down the market is.

It is not addiction but the quest to maximize your profits and once you are able to reach a certain financial goal; you would no longer follow this lifestyle and would be looking for reasons of motivation to earn further.
