If you're not actively trading, don't even look. It's fake euphoria when you watch the price go up, and fake panic when you watch it go down. The end result is very real, of course, and the stress can't be good for anyone.
This was bound to happen with how fast the markets moved up, and it's a good thing, lest we be dreading it forever.
It took "losing" hundreds of thousands of "theoretical dollars" before I just stopped caring almost entirely. If you're holding, not trading, then the price only matters on the days you buy and sell, and usually those are pretty far off.
Very good comment and observation. But the pull of checking the price is too strong....
Had to delete blockfolio in general. It became an addiction hehe.
:)) if you look at my history you'll see that I wrote a bit about that.
My secret is to have very very few alerts. It's the alerts that reinforce the addiction!
It's very tempting. You probably will only pull it off sometimes. Eventually your emotions will get numb to the ups and downs.
It's more like an adventure to me :)
Yeah, I can't stop looking. But I like to trade and want to get better at it.
