Well, sort of.
I started the idea a couple months ago when I stopped buying cryptocurrency. I had a trip across the country for my family of five and I told my wife I wouldn't spend any money until she gave me the OK. That and I wanted to be able to pay for my brother's wedding photos and his gas and food for his honey moon.
I didn't unfollow crypto people on Facebook but I did hide the Facebook groups from showing up on my main feed. I only checked prices once every few days except for the week I was on vacation because I kept myself pretty busy. I signed into my various wallets/accounts a few times over the month.
I didn't read any news or do any research on any coin other than my favorite few.
What did I learn from this time away?
First of all, I don't have an addiction to crypto! I know my family was just half assedly (<- new word) joking by saying I was addicted to crypto but hearing it over and over made me question whether or not I would be able to find something to do with my time. When you switch hobbies or mediums of entertainment, at least for me, the first little while seems kind of like you go hard into your new habit. The first week I watched a lot of Netflix and Hulu. Over the past 30 days I watched Mindhunter, The Walking Dead, Ghost Adventures, Black Sails, Sense 8, The 100, and Zoo. And that's not even counting any of the movies (Monster Squad is on Hulu.. hell yeah!). Last week bought and started playing the first new video game I've gotten for myself in 10 years.
There's nothing wrong with spending your time in front of a TV as long as you don't overdo it. Some people watch movies. Some people read. I choose sitting with my laptop.
I also realized that reading about crypto and checking Reddit and Steemit make me happy. I enjoy my crypto hobby. I felt so different when I was watching TV as my past time. Current events and crypto currency are just what I do. I don't browse Reddit like I used to. I don't spend much time on social media.
So now I'm back at it. For the few people that engage with me here on Steemit, thank you. It's always more enjoyable to do things we enjoy with other people.
By the way, nice face lift Steemit!
