you have the brain worms. you don’t lose them until you make it, go broke, or exit crypto. have fun and enjoy your stay!

>>21515584
Well, fuck.

I guess it's you and me OP.

Unironically you need to go through some serious crashes to the point where you're too demoralized to even open up your portfolio app. after that you'll get numb to it, even when your coins start pumping again. You get hardened like a callus. also you're new so ill tell you about a mistake that I made. Don't talk to your normie friends or family about crypto or how much money you're making. Just don't.

>>21515689
listen to this anon

>>21515689
>>21515721
why

>>21515689
I hate normies too but why never talk about crypto to them?

>>21515539
download coingecko/coinmarketcap and set up price alerts then forget about crypto

>>21515689
based

You’ll get over it
Just try not to obsess. I had the same problem, the I just moved on and stopped obsessing

>>21515539
welcome to hell. you're here forever
t. here since 2016

>>21515805
because there will be a day that your shitcoins stop mooning and you wont even be able to touch your phone without feeling sick.

also when the bubble pops your normie friends will either be stuck with bags or laughing at you for spending $10k on 8 raspberry pis

>>21515805
>>21515818
because then they know you have it, and theyll start asking about how much money you have in it, and they'll laugh at you when it goes down and call you lucky if you get rich. say you tell people you hold chainlink and it goes up to $1000 one day and it's all over the news. They're going to remember you had it and they're going to gossip. and if they put money in at the top and get dumped on they're going to blame you. you're going to alienate yourself from people and make yourself a target

>>21515539
You mean it doesn’t stop?
>t. Started 3 weeks ago and my back/neck has been constantly cramping from being worried about making it

>>21515539
I've been here for a year and a half now, still haven't stopped.

In fact I always have an exchange open in a tab so I can see the prices while playing games or shitposting

>>21515970
You sound like a weak minded fag

>>21516006

>>21515970
This 100%.
Thanks Anon.

>>21515539
Why are you asking us for advice, we all have the same problem

>>21515970
It’s good advice in general not to tell people you don’t trust. But if you’re lucky to be a whale and have whale friends then it doesn’t matter

>>21515981

Hey.
I think i will try to limit to 3 times a day. Morning, midday and before I go to sleep. I dont want to make this habit worse. Maybe try to this too :/

>>21515970
Have you considered not being retarded?

>they'll laugh at you when it goes down
So? Got more balls than they do, and that's why you don't listen to the idiots saying "NEVER SELLING". You only lose if you keep bagholding
>call you lucky if you get rich
Tell them it's because I'm just that fucking smart
>They're going to remember you had it and they're going to gossip
Oh no, not people talking behind my back like faggots!
>and if they put money in at the top and get dumped on they're going to blame you
They can try, but I always make sure to tell people not to buy when it's pumping. If they keep blaming me I'll just tell them it's not my fault they decided it would be a good idea to buy 2 years after I told them to.

Anyone who asks me if they should buy LINK right now I tell them no.

>>21515539
You are here for life. I’ve been in crypto for 5 years and still check daily.

>>21515539
>2 months
kek try years kid. Welcome to your new addiction, this shit is worse than heroin.

>>21515970
I agree, they will just think we got lucky like if we had won the lottery. I wouldn't want to be called lucky, more like chosen.

>>21516187
when people started asking me if I would help them out in the event I got rich I stopped talking about it. Its more trouble than its worth. and no I'm not giving them anything. I have friends who are already in crypto who I can talk to.

>>21515584
Implying once you make it you leave....
YOU DON'T DESERVE TO MAKE IT WAGIE!

>>21516137
I’ll give it a shot. I spend every free moment at my wageslave job reading /biz/, educating myself, and watching lines go up and down. Checking markets makes me so tense. It can’t be good for me.

>>21516137
no. just biz.
you will learn so much shit in time.
the suffering will pay off after some years.
and it is like giving yourself a raise.

browsing biz at night, is not good.
best to do it in the morning.

>>21516447
Fair enough, I just laugh it off personally and take what they say as a joke. But I try to avoid talking about crypto with people I know unless it's to gauge market sentiment.

I've only ever shilled LINK to two people when it was around $1 post mainnet. The first was a nutcase that was homeless for a decade of his life and had a lot of mental problems, but I thought he was a pretty smart guy. Of course when I started talking to him he just blew off crypto entirely talking about "muh quantum computing cracks your encryption!" so I stopped after that and went all in. The other guy is still a friend of mine whom I also shilled it to when it was around $1, he never bought any but seemed interested. Once it hit $8 he mentioned it saying he is kicking himself in the ass for not listening so I'm hoping he hasn't checked the price lately. He never bought a single LINK.

>>21516187
I dont think you understand thats it not just about caring what people think, its about keeping people to knowing things that aren't their fucking business. if I tell my mom I'm a millionaire she's going to go to go the bar and tell all her friends about it, and they're in turn going to tell all their friends and other people there are bound to overhear it. then I go to the same bar and motherfuckers who I never even told are coming up and asking me about it. maybe you don't live in an insular community like this but I do. And thats exactly what would happen if I told my mom too much about it.

>>21516869
Guess it's just a difference in who is in your social circle then. My mom is a bigger shutin than I am and is generally disliked by most people because she isn't very good at communication. Never goes to bars, hates going to restaurants, hates normal people probably more than I do and makes nearly 6 figures. My dad is the complete opposite, everyone likes him but he's shit with money. Got him to buy some LINK and he knows how much I have, not a very worldly guy either and just wants to live in an RV for the rest of his life gardening or some shit, which if I ever become a millionaire dropping 300K for my debt ridden dad is nothing.

Just a matter of circumstance I suppose

>>21515970
This anon is correct
The rest of the autismos acting tough here have never seen what people can turn into when they catch a whiff of money. Seriously, listen to this guy even if you think it won't happen to you.
Flaunting your wealth is for retards who want to get fucked.

>>21515689
I started 1.5 months ago and I am mega adhd so I get obsessive. And I over share. So I told at least 5 of my virtual gaming friends and one or two irl friends. Also my mom and dad but I still live with them so it’s whatever.

I think in the end, I will lie to my parents and tell them I sold everything to move out when I move out. And the friends that know I don’t really regret telling as many didn’t buy link when I told them at 6$ anyways (except one, who is actually the guy I least expected to listen but he is over 2x by now on link so he probably respects me).

I wish I didn’t over share the way I do when I find a new interest. But it’s just how I am. I think I might start distancing myself from the topic when I am with the people who know I’m obsessed with it.

If it pushes people away in the end I am okay with that because I hate everyone in my life except my gf and one other INTP friend.
