Hahaha that comparison is hilarious. However I don´t think that it´s like heroin or gambling. Probably there are many addicted to invest in crypto but it´s just one of many ways to win money.

It is heroin as long as the prices are sky high, as soon as it crashes. A lot of it's addicts forget it.

I strongly agree with you. Bitcoin is addictive as it makes you think of nothing else especially when you made small money from it. You want to invest more and continue to monitor it so as to gain more.

Just like heroin or crack cocaine, it creates an addiction.

Same as was gambling

Many in here seem to have been caught up in it, spending far too much of their money on something. Partially to get the dopamine rush of buying more coin, and partially to satisfy their gambling lust hoping to score big.

It is no different than the people gambling their savings away on the roulette. Right now we are at the point where they have entered the casino and have been lucky, so they are up more money than they came. But instead of quitting while they are ahead they genuinely believe that their luck continues.

In the end it ends bad.

I agree with you btc is realy addictive. You cannot end a day without checking it.
And many people are already addicted to it.

Bitcoin is like gambling, but Bitcoin is better than gambling, because gambling is luck, there is no law, but blind trading, do not need to see credibility, but bitcoin than ordinary gambling needs to reserve more knowledge.

I differ, Bitcoin is just another investment for me. I never invest my money without doing my homework and I only invest which I can afford losing. No good investor jumps onto anything without proper paperwork, study and a heart to take the risk. Some shit people talk shit about Bitcoin like a drug, like crime money because they either don't know it or lost some bucks for their own foolish actions.

This is the interesteng comparison. Bitcoin is in some way like the drugs because of the influence it has on the investor's mind. Bitcoins possible future profit represents the big opportunity for the investor. These two can only be compared with the factor of addiction but the different kind of addiction. Heroin is addicting their users and in the end, they are getting broke physically and financially. Bitcoin is on the other side addicting the investors to the healthy management of their financial possibility to gain profit. There are a few people that are making bad choices and with the fail constant investment that can be compared to the addiction, they are getting ruined. Bitcoin is like heroin but in a positive way like the Ying and Yang.

More than heroin. Bitcoin fever is more than any drug abuse if in case you are able to make consistent profit. You read ,research and do a lot to know more about bitcoins and is hard to desist from it.

Indeed, it's carching every crypto enthusiast out there. Once you see the potential, it's hard to get rid of it. You will spend all day long thinking how rich you can get.

yes bitcoin is like a heroin for super greedy folks, they want to invest some ridiculous amount of money and to be millionaires by the next year. Read somewhere last night that many people involved in trading are actually using the borrowed money >can you believe it<. I wan't be surprised to see more homeless people in the coming years. Be wise and rational.

It still depend on how the user use bitcoin.
But some people get addicted to it due to it can easily use in gamblings etc. and right now it slows down because of high transaction fees.
Yeah everyone has own way of thinking and has own planning as some of people love bitcoin to save for long time and some of them are really ion need to spend it. If a person is having positive mind he will use it for good and if a person is not having good thought he must use for bad. For me bitcoin is just a saving and bester future so I am not going to say bitcoin is like heroin because heroin does have very bad effects on human life but bitcoin made life beautiful.
