As the markets take a dive - does anyone else have a desktop like this?

I can't begin to reason with myself why it's so addictive watching these candles move up and down. Generally, I'm hopeful of a reasonable correction further - so that I can invest more, but there's a side of me that longs to see my portfolio healthily in the green!

Show me your desktop! I'd love to see how you monitor the prices. I liked the Poloniex layout the best, but it's no good for me in Euros and it doesn't make sense to monitor vs USD.

Additionally, do you watch the prices vs a currency or vs Bitcoin? I have a hard time getting my head around the BTC ratios - given how much it moves. FIAT gives me a common denominator I can associate with. Perhaps I'll change that perspective as I become more experienced.

Hey Andy, I watch it generally watch the prices vs BTC. it takes a while to get use to, FIAT is usally easier but I feel like BTC is more valuable to work with. We are definitely in a bear market with all this panic leading up to BIP 148 on August 1st but we will recover soon! I wrote an article recently and I predict the best time to buy in the market will be July 26th-July 29th!

Hi! Thanks for the reply. Just read your article, upvoted & followed. I'm going to start looking at the prices vs BTC more, and you're right, it does take time to adjust to that way of thinking. Do you use any software to track them or have a favoured exchange?
