It's been a wild ride since last bull run in the CryptoLAND but some things never change. My girlfriend STILL hates me using the damn Blockfolio and honestly even Bitcoin!
Does anyone else feels the same?!
Initially I thought his is kind of irrational, how can you be jealous of an app or a hobby, especially one that can make you some money?
But then, I read this article about signs that someone is cheating on you.
I compiled here a list to help all of you out there dealing with this issue.
#1. He's always on his phone.
Yes, he always peers at a screen full of numbers. He receives tons of notifications and alerts and he constantly checks his phone for more even when nothing happens. He seems more eager to get a Blockfolio notification than a message from you.
#2. He's spending a lot more time at the "office".
Before this, he could not wait to get off the laptop and do something. Now, he's glued to the laptop all the time. Stuff like "Bittrex" or "binance" are always on the main screen. Every time Blockfolio calls, he needs to get to the laptop to "check something". He is annoyed when you ask him what does he do?
"NOTHING! Just need to place this order..."
Sometimes he will jump out of the sofa, yell in anger or happiness, and run to the laptop in the middle of...anything!
You might run after him worried:
WHAT HAPPENED?!?!
"An alert hit! Gotta buyyyyyy this dip now!"
You shake your head.
#3. He spends all his time with a bunch of new people you never heard of
It's great that he has a lot of new friends but seriously, when do you get to meet them.
"HAHA! They are all living in differen countries!! Hahahaha, meet them..I gotta write this on the forum..."
Names like " meesterboom ", " ihavecojones" or "UnicornLife" are now always appearing in his messenger windows and you never see what they say. What are they talking about all the time? Is there really so much to tell?
And...why is he hiding this from you?
#4. He isn't talking about your future together anymore
It's all about the crypto coins now. It would be nice to hear from time to time something like:
I wonder where we'll be in 6 months. I think our relationship will be 4x better!!.
Alas, no! It's just question about what the coins will do.
You wonder if this relationship is still a good HODL!
( yes, you learned some lingo even if you don't care!!)
#5. Try as you might, you feel something is off
You can't really put your finger on it, but he is different. Something changed in his behavior in a way that is not really pleasant. In fact, it reminds you of stories about addicts: he eat less, he seems unfocused, he needs his "fix". While you shake it off as an exaggeration at first, you are worried. And rightfully so!
A CryptoAnonymous ( I mean lol) is not that bad of an idea right?
"Hello, I am Raz, and I am addicted to crypto!"
ALL STEEMIT: HEY RAZ!
Oh boy, this hits close to home but yes, if you recognize in your man ( and mind you, the situation can very well be reversed and it is your WOMAN who is a cryptohead while you dont' care) then it's time to do something about.
What exactly, I'm open to ideas...
