Serious question.
Am I addicted to cryptocurrency?
Strong symptoms:
- Desire to check coinmarketcap.com a lot
- Desire to check the status of my portfolio as captured on cryptocompare.com a lot more
- Desire to post a daily article on steemit
- Anxiousness displayed while waiting for my latest rewards from steemit
Lesser symptoms:
- Potential to be distracted at work (so far successfully resisted - this I have to keep in check
- Slight temptation to pay more attention to my computer than to Ms 8 - and this is just wrong. It shall not be borne.

Now I am back at work after my holidays, it is becoming apparent that I need to put some effort into re-adjusting. Less time on the computer at home. Higher degrees of concentration at work. Absolute commitment and attention paid to my daughter.
Am I addicted?
No, I don't think so.
As I wrote over my holiday period, steemit can, and should be, therapeutic. It can also, but should not be, a source of stress. And crypto can be a useful additional income. It shouldn't be a substitute for poker machines at the local club.
How we play the game is up to us.
Be healthy 🌞
