Refreshing my crypto portfolio is killing me.
I just watched a video by mister Graig Grant in wich he says he is thinking about investing most of his liquid crypto into STEEMpower. I can relate to this so much.

*My sister send me this picture today. I don't remember seeing her happier than this. Making me so happy in the process.*

I went to a restaurant with Bianca today. She was feeling a bit down because of things that happened with her job. So we went out to try a new Mexican place. I was hoping to make her feel better. We had a great time. Except for one thing.

I have developed this uncontrollable need to watch the cryptomarkets about every 5 minutes. 

I can't help myself. 

Even though I know I can't do any trades at a restaurant I need to know what's happening.

Bianca and I talked about it tonight and she said to me I do it all the time. 24/7. Even when we watch a film or when we are visiting friends. I know she's right. I know I need to stop doing this.

But crypto is my life. It's the biggest thing I care about in the world that isn't a person. She does understand. She's not mad. She knows I believe crypto will make a big change in the world and to be part of that revolution at this stage is a true privilege.

Yet I do not know how to fix this dumb addiction I developed besides buying an old school Nokia phone or just throwing this Iphone in the bin. Until I saw mister Graig Grants video today.

By putting every last drop of liquid crypto into Steempower, I can't get it out. I can still write on Steemit wich is something I truely love doing every day.  And there won't be a need to refresh any portfolio every 5 minutes because it will take a week to power down Steempower to do anything.

I just need to find the strength to do it.

I sold everything for stem power today, this is my 4th time doing this. It's not a big deal, as with the weekly power down I can get back to where I was within a few weeks.

Sold 24 ETH for STEEM as a start. It was your video that convinced me. Thanks.

I can relate to this. Crypto is definitely like a drug.

I am not so obsessed when I leave the house. Since I trade I set my positions, orders and sells and let it ride. I do  check but not on your level. This is the look I would get if I did what you do.
