5 Signs of a Toxic Relationship with Cryptocurrency
🔵 Crypto Gaslighting and Social Isolation
You see how crypto is ruining your life, but you keep holding on, believing that you just need to push a little harder. Your friends have distanced themselves from you because they’re tired of looking at your NFT monkey collection and listening to why PoS is better than PoW and what today’s "hamster" codes are. You’ve stopped going to the movies because they don’t show crypto there, and at family dinners, you talk about how Dogecoin changed your life.
🔵 Altcoin Addiction and Crypto Control
Your mood depends on where your crypto is going today, and your heart rate graph perfectly mirrors the daily chart of your favorite coin. If it goes up, you’re happy; if it goes down, you crash—into depression. You have trading apps on all your devices, including smartwatches and smart home gadgets, and your smartphone probably thinks TradingView is your soulmate based on how much time you spend in the app.
🔵 Denial and Shifting Blame
You have financial problems: ten loans from different banks, letters from debt collectors in your mailbox, and an empty fridge. But you’re convinced that the moon is near. You believe you have everything under control, and it’s definitely not your fault that you lost your entire deposit, your friend’s deposit, and sold all the property you could get your hands on.
🔵 Financial Abuse and Bitcoin Mood Swings
Crypto keeps taking your money, promising to "return it with interest any moment now," but it just keeps demanding more and more investments. It masterfully plays with your emotions: giving you hope with a little pump and then crashing right after. Crypto is draining your wallet, but you keep believing and waiting, hoping that one day it will "change" and buy you a Lambo.
🔵 FOMO Abuse and Constant Anxiety
You always feel like you’re missing out. You’re subscribed to every crypto channel on Telegram, terrified of missing even one post in case it contains "the signal." You’re already deep into crypto, but then a new token appears, and you fear missing "the next Bitcoin." Every tweet from Elon Musk sends you into a panic, and news about crypto regulation makes you nervously bite your nails.
