<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2618281, member: 57495&quot;]For me, this is a hobby with different aspects - acquiring coins, cataloguing them, researching them, photographing them, sharing my pictures and thoughts about them here.&nbsp; I don&#039;t enjoy these aspects all equally, and seldom all of them at the same time, but I don&#039;t see the problem in focusing on the aspect that you&#039;re getting the most out of at the present time.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, sometimes it does seem like it&#039;s all about scoring a rapid fire string of NEWP dopamine hits, but sometimes - as in these past two months - I&#039;m barely looking at Vcoins or auction sites, though I&#039;m still getting my daily numismatic fill by cataloguing and photographing my backlog of past wins, researching a new or old area of interest prompted by a post here on Cointalk, or just pulling out a few random old coins from my collection and enjoying them anew.&nbsp; I have no doubt I&#039;ll be on the hunt again soon.&nbsp; It&#039;s a fun cycle <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This all said, I think I&#039;m only going to worry when all of the many aspects of this hobby stop bringing me joy.&nbsp; At that point, the main worry will be about finding another passion that is as edifying and enjoyable as this one, with as many cool, knowledgeable and friendly people to share it with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
