It becomes all encompassing. Listen to some music again. After about 6 months of non stop podcast when I went back to just listening to music in the car,it was glorious, like finding the music all over again.
Honest question how long have you been around?
The 'i gotta learn everything, and listen to everything and read everything phase" lasted about 24 months for me.
I used to go to sleep with a chart tab open next to the Netflix I was watching. I used to check price as soon as I woke up, or if I woke in the middle of the night.
I also used to want to tell EVERYONE about Bitcoin.
Basically, Over time you realize you CANT learn everything, between mining, game theory, comp sci, psychology, economics, node running, there are so many aspects to it.
Find one and dive in. Focus that loose 'i need to read more, I need to do x more' energy into a certain aspect.

Hard to say. I've been into computer science and cryptography and self-sovereign cyberpunk stuff and P2P longer than Bitcoin exists. So 15+ Years?
On the other hand, my thoughts on this were Tor-centric, torrent-centric, darkweb-centric until maybe a year or two ago. I didn't get how Bitcoin was the culmination instead of just another tool in the toolbox. So 18 months?
Hard to say.

What falsefaucet said. The rabbit hole is deep and exciting but it shouldn't take up all of your time. After about a year or so I guess you need a detox and to enjoy music and nature again.

I used the Covidian Interregnum to refocus on my guitar playing and learning a second instrument, rather than obsessing on Bitcoin’s price & drama.
