My addiction is not really what i am addicted to
Addiction can be good or bad, it all depends on what exactly you are addicted to....How do people get addicted to things? well human tend to get addicted to things they like and which they do frequently and once you are addicted to something it becomes very difficult to stop it..
The bad addiction range from drinking, smoking, womanizing, masturbating and many more which i do not want to list as i do not want to derail from the main topic which is game addiction...
When i was still a teenager, i love to play games alot and there was a time i was wishing i can play games for a living, that was many years ago and i felt it was just a silly thought as i never think such thing would ever happen, it was even before bitcoin came into existence but see now, so many nft and play2earn games...
After i graduated from secondary school, i kind of lost interest in games and my aim was to work and earn money so i stopped playing all those play station which i can't do a day without playing, i guess the more we grow the more we learn that life is not just about playing....
Prior to 2018, i lost interest in all games, i do not even have any game on my phone but splinterlands changes everything, the more i earn from this game the more i fell in love with it, i became an addict, my own account alone could not quench my thirst, so i seek to start playing for others, there was a time i was playing more than seven splinterlands account, i just could not say no whenever someone ask me if i can play their account, i collected every single accounts offered to me and i made sure to satisfy my clients by playing their accounts well so none of them had a reason to complain but it cost me something which is my time....
I have lesser time for myself, i am always playing splinterlands from morning till night and i even set alarm at midnight so i can wake up to play some tournament..
You can say i am addicted to the game but is it just about the game? i am actually addicted to the rewards and what i am earning from the game, if splinterlands doesn't give reward anymore, i am sure many people who said they are addicted to it will not play it again....
So addiction to this kind of thing is never bad! you are having the fun of your life and getting paid for it, what else can be greater than that? i don't want to be cured of this addiction as long as those games still rewards their players!
If my title looks confusing, my addiction is not really what i am addicted to because people think i am addicted to the game but not true, i am only addicted to earning money through the game!

I have been enjoying this article until you made this statement that got me into laughing out loud 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Better get ready because I am coming to cure you of this addiction...hahahaha
Honestly I understand you on this but then it's wise we make every effort to create time for ourself especially in the part of getting enough sleep so we can be more healthy and sound and also to help our brain work effectively .
The reward can be tempting I know 🤩
no one can separate me from this addiction o, for life!
Honestly I understand you on this but then it's wise we make every effort to create time for ourself especially in the part of getting enough sleep so we can be more healthy and sound and also to help our brain work effectively .You are right about this, some times i am always lost in thought that i don't remember certain things when being told, all because my mind is calculating the next tactics and strategy to use in game lol
paid as you play, who wouldn't be tempted by that sort of thing.
but the problem is not everyone is able to get to that point, hahaha😅😁
yea i would admit some people are very lucky
Securing the Bag is the goal, the reward that comes from playing the game is what makes some people addicted.
Quite a nice and encouraging post sir. As far as the money comes from doing something I can give it all of of, lol.
I will like to learn more about how these splinterland games work sir, I will like to be your student sir.
splinterlands is now an expensive game which requires lot of investment but there is another game you can try out , it is rising star game, doesn't require investment to start except you want to boost your earnings very fast
Once money is involved, and you are making it well, then it is definitely a good form of addiction. As long as you know yourself and what you are doing, then you are doing great!😊
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Well, yeah, I think I get your point here when you said you may be actually addicted to the rewards. I very much agree. Most times it the substance or any other abuse that makes us an addict, it is the after effects that we enjoy that cause us to continue it..!
you get it right my man
Well, I agree with you... as long as the addiction doesn't detract anything from you and you know how to manage your time well so it doesn't hinder you from doing other important stuffs, then it isn't bad.
Matter of fact, Fun and monetary rewards has to be the best compensation for game addicts 😂🤩... I'm not a game freak but you're tempting me to give it a try 🤭.
Thanks for sharing!
be tempted and come on board, it is the gaming era xd
I must say you are a fine writer and you have really done well explaining what addiction really entails, But when you said this check below;
This was a fine answer you left people to their on perception and also went on to say it is just a game but you are addicted to the rewards that was a clear and beautiful notion.
thanks for understanding my point
You are welcome
An absolute solid point you have made here. Surely, if the feature of play2earn were to be taken away from these games, many would find that they are actually addicted to the inflow of money, which is a good thing. It is a good thing because it would only seem complacent for one to have such stream of income and not grow passion for it.
I am yet to really understand how splinterland works, but I sure would not mind getting addicted to such stream of income.
splinterlands is not that complex to understand but it is an expensive game
I'll keep trying to learn.
