I might get in trouble for this post but...it needs to be said!
My girlfriend hates the app Blockfolio, or better say: she hates me using it. Why oh why, she suffers from a very common issue:
BLOCKFOLIOLISM
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone close to you who uses Blockfolio every 5 minutes to see the price of every coin they own, might own or even owned....based on the belief that doing such thing is stupid.
Now that we have our definition down, let's talk about how it manifest. We meet and it's all good, gonna see a movie or grab a dinner or something when I get this nagging feeling. Something is pumping!!. I just know it. I sniff it in the air.
I take out..

The big number at the top left ( don't act like you don't knw about the BIG NUMBER! ) quickly shows me that I was wrong. I don't like it. I frown. Although I do know that it auto-refreshes when opened...I will drag down the number for a quick refresh. ALAS, the number does not change!
---Finally back to reality when I meet her scowl. Oh, she was talking the whole time. OH! ---
"I'm sorry..what?" I say. "Emergency!".
She's not buying it. In fact, since I got the app [ thank you for the recommendation
, THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED! ] thing seemed to have spiraled fast down the drain. At first, she only thought I was cheating on her. HA! HA! Easy to dismiss this silly claim. But now it's worst: she knows!.
"Blockfolio again?" she asks. I can see she's being calm. That means trouble of course.
"No..I mean, yes, look steem is 1.2$! Can you believe this? Like I remember just 2 months ago..."
Her blank stare cuts my words like a very sharp knife.
"Look, why the need to check it non stop? It's not like it matters to the minute!"
"noooooo. you don't understand!!"
" I do! What's the point?"
" well, if something happens i can..."
"yes...
"I can...hmm..."
Well, she got me. I can't trade on my phone! I'm 1 hour away from my house if needs really be to trade something and let's be real. I don't have the balls to leave during a movie to trade. I'd be girlfriendless by the time I click "SELL"
I have no clue how she knows that. When I talk about coins she seems might bored. WOMEN!!
"Ok ok...I just need to know how much I WORTH!!"
"....."
"I live when I look at it! Every up and down it's like riding a roller coaster that I carry in my pocket. I can't put it away!"
"That sounds like addiction..."
"THAT's INSANE!"
She wanted to prove it. She took it away and told me to see how i feel.
2 minutes: DENIAL
"Where's my phone? Come on! Give it to me :( Just let me check something!!"
10 minutes: ANGER
"This is unacceptable! You can't take a man's phone!! Give it back!!"
20 minutes: BARGAINING
"Just for a minute! PLEASE! ok..ok..Look, just check how's bts doing and I won't say anything for a day!!"
30 minutes: DEPRESSION
"....I know nothing..."
1 hour: ACCEPTANCE
"I will never see blockfolio again. I'll live!"
Ok, maybe she has a point. I'll try to go to a blockfolio detox clinic ASAP!
Just after I quickly check how sbd is doing....
