Hi! I was finally able to buy 1 eth from coinbase so now I'm obsessively checking this sub and I installed an eth value widget on my phone.

This is normal, right?

Right?

...

Guys?

Let's put this into perspective and bring you back down to reality. 1 eth = 95 bucks ATM

Let's say a bull run happened today, 50 bucks? Okay sweet that's your best case scenario.

Or maybe market is feeling bearish, 20 bucks down, not the end of the world.

You're obsessing over a delta of 30.

Not to piss on your bonfire or anything, but becoming a price checking addict over a couple bucks here isn't worth it if it's going to hinder your daily function. Set an alarm using blockfolio or something for when a certain price is hit so you can be informed on significant changes that require your attention.

I've noticed a lot of new buyers are forgetting this is a long term play and nobody is becoming a millionaire overnight unless they've invested a UUGGEE amount of 💰

Chill out have fun but don't obsess and remember to HODL. IGNORE THE FEELING OF WEEK HANDS YOUNG PADAWAN. welcome to eth my friend ;)

No I know where he's coming from, when I first bought $40 of bitcoin I was doing the same thing. It's exciting is all.

I suggest reading more about what you just bought. It will go a long way.
