How do you autists do it?
I got in to crypto 3 days ago and I can’t fucking go 2 minutes without checking my fucking portfolio.
I used to be able to sit down and watch a movie or play some vidya but I can’t do that now because I’m thinking about crypto every fucking second of my waking life?
Does this shit ever go away or am I fucked as long as i’m involved in crypto?

If you have no motivation in life to do anything else and have no prospects or hopes outside of getting rich quick it's never gonna end until the whole market crashes like January 2018, at which point you'll slowly forget after an emotional few days/weeks until it booms up again and you get sucked back into the mix.

The future is going to happen since it is just the culmination of everyone's decisions. If you are HODLING there's nothing you can do about the market, It eventually will rise and the news and normies will catch on. Like ETH, when it was $10 I bought 50 and let them sit. When the prices started rising I started hearing about it and i found out it was $50+ and was pretty excited but I always knew it would exceed $100. Basically don't worry about it, Buy a large some of crypto for a thousand/two thousand and forget about it.

Pretty much everybody (ime anyway) goes through that phase when it first starts, especially when things are moving up (at least some of the time). I remember November, December 2017 when I first start buying alts (before then I just had btc, eth and ltc on coinbase). Every hour I would log in and see gains, and it got very addictive and hard to do anytying else.

Then things came crashing down.

Then I took a break for many many months. Had no motivation to keep checking.

Anyway, point is, my guess is that you'll get used to it and get to a more stable place with it. If you can I would try to enjoy it for what it is right now. You've discovered this new crazy thing and right now you are in the middle of it.

I used to be like this until I decided I wouldn't go lower than 2h charts. I mean sometimes if I'm curious I'll pull up the 15m or whatever but mostly I just check the 2h and 4h three or four times and that's it. Much less stressful and honestly better to keep the bigger picture in mind

Once your brain learns how to filter out small oscillations in price without having an emotional reaction you may feel less of a compulsion to keep checking so often. In other words its part of the learning process.

I bought $1000 worth back in 2011, which got me my 454 BTC. I was feeling rich despite being just a highschool junior by 2013. I parlayed some of my profits into painfully buying more at much inflated prices, I recall deciding I needed just $50k in cash, and using the remaining profits to buy my second 454 BTC. I owned 908 BTC by christmas time 2015, when I was a senior in HS and held it ever since. I had a networth over $18million when btc mooned a couple years later. I did nothing - I was frozen in shock and awe over my circumstances. I continued to work til it all collapsed this past year. Now its up big again. I think Im going to sell this time if it hits even $15k. Or should I keep holding? May sell half and keep $8million in treasuries?

you will keep checking until you are down 90%+
then you will just say fuck it and stop checking.
years will go by...
then you will check again and you will almost break even..
then you watch it go back down 89%...
years will go by and you will check again
you will almost break even.. +$1.00 gain.
finally it is your time..
you go to sell, to get back to some normalcy..
flash crash. you are down -88%
you sell.

you are out of the game.

I think youre right. Im selling in the am and going to put the $10million or so (hopefully) in mysavingsdirect and try living off the monthly interest for a while. Im calculating itll be like $18k per month income before taxes, so $9k per month income after taxes. This is enough. When will the fed drop interest rates though? If it drops to 1% Ill be a poor schlub again.

The honeymoon phase will be over eventually and you'll only check it once a day or once a few, depends on how actively your managing your portfolio.
At least that's hopefully what'll happen, otherwise you'll remain a money addicted slave forever.
