Crypto is my #1 source of entertainment
![](http://web.archive.org./web/20221128080654im_/https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/img/renderTimingPixel.png)
I'm an investor and have been riding out this bear market like the rest of you. But my interest in crypto is so much greater than it being just an investment. I am constantly scrolling through my Reddit and Twitter feeds consuming crypto content. It's my favorite pass time hobby and source of entertainment.
I never feel like I know enough. It seems everyone I talk to has a different perspective and offers me something new to learn. I love learning more about my preferred coin and being challenged with my beliefs in why a particular coin is superior.
Beyond that, I'm fascinated by the drama we experience as an industry. The Celsius meltdown, Ripple's SEC case, Richard Heart, FTX and Sam Bankman Fraud, Gemini twins, Grayscale, Michael Saylor's bad marketing timing, El Salvador, and the list goes on.
Crypto is like my tabloid / TMZ magazine at times. But beyond that, it's also very intellectual and engaging mentally. It has so much much to offer. Anyway, I figured a lot of you would probably relate. The majority of the time on my phone is scrolling crypto and being endlessly entertained.

I think we can all relate. Once you touch crypto it consumes you.. for better or for worse.
It made me grow up and be responsible with my money

I'm more responsible with my money than with my crypto, i be like:
I need a new headphones, but i could get a 0.25 eth instead of buying a new headphones.

Its like league of legends, i can't get rid of it.
Now i got another addiction, crypto.
I lose money with both.
Before getting into crypto, I had no plans of investing money for the future. My only plan was to save everything in a bank savings account. Before crypto, I paid no attention to inflation problems, paid no attention to the direction of the economy, and didn’t pay much attention to my financial future(besides studying for becoming a civil engineer)
Even if I never find financial freedom through cryptocurrency, I will always be thankful for the impact it has made on my life!

Crypto made you be responsible with your money?
I think it turned me to be a degenerate gambler!

I agree. Buy Starbucks or buy bitcoin? Easy choice! Buy Starbucks cause without it I wouldn’t make it through class, then I skip dinner and buy bitcoin!

For real. Everytime I think of buying something, I now think twice whether I really need it or not, or would it be better being invested.
Keep away from "crypto". Only Bitcoin is safe - in your own wallet preferably.

Crypto made me addicted to reddit. My husband doesn’t understand 🫣

Can't see the perspective of OP. Entertainment would be my excuse to look good rather than admit I am losing money lol
