honestly, it is getting serious that most people spend over 18 to 19 hours these days on systems and mobile phones watching the market, trading on the move with their mobile. the addiction is getting out of hand. i think i am probably getting into this kind of life.
what could be the possible means of prevention. i need to have my normal life back.
I think that is insane because that is very serious addicting to crypto. You need to learn about how to manage your time so you can get your normal life back. You should have another thing to do and don't watch your phone, try to keep yourself busy so your mind doesn't think about crypto, and you can prevent from the addicting. Maybe you need to talk with other people so you can distract your mind and the most important is you need to have a strong will to prevent from that.
Actually this problem is really simple to be overcome. OP has to decide to choose being a day trader, weekly trader, short term investor or long term investor just it. I believe until now he didn't choose them and even he didn't know some things that should be done if he chooses some of the strategy for his money. He just look the price movement without know the strategy to overcome the situation. I'm sure if he choose one the startegy and he try to learn more about it he will not reveal that he is an addict to cryptocurrency but he will assume that cryptocurrency is a job place to gain money.
