Is crypto a good or bad influence for your mental health?

I can only speak for myself here, but it’s overwhelmingly been a good influence, even with the January crash.

It’s positive for a lot of reasons, partially because r/cryptocurrency has given me a community, and because crypto has given me a hobby I can pour otherwise negative energy into. Mainly it’s taught me a lot about managing my money, so I’m less likely to depression binge spend and end up paying off credit cards debts for several months.

That said, I’m very careful to cap how much I’m allowed to invest, and how much time I spend on Reddit and on exchanges. There’s a thin line between a hobby and addiction.

Anyway, it’s worked out well for me. Would anyone agree that crypto has positively impacted their mental health, or would you say the opposite?

Or has years of volatility made you numb to all emotion? :p
