Topic: Bitcoin is like heroin - page 15. (Read 3170 times)
I agree with this view, yes, bitcoin is sometimes the same as drugs. Many people buy crazy, and some even borrow money to buy bitcoin, you know, this continues to develop will have more and more bubbles, wait until the market can not withstand so much speculation, lending money to buy bitcoin people are the worst people.
I disagree. It depends on everyone's personal. This is related to control psychology, if you can control yourself when in gambling or trading games, then you will not get stuck, whereas if you can't control it, then it's your own fault not bitcoins who like heroine as you said.
What do you mean by the statement that bitcoin is like heroin, do you mean it ability to get you addicted and always want to acquire more bitcoin.
If that is what you mean by that statement you are right, but to my understanding every thing that has the ability to get you addicted is either in a positive or in negative impact and in the case of bitcoin is in the positive way because it get you addicted to wanting to acquire more wealth and improving you life and finances. So classifying bitcoin in the category of drugs is an analysis in a wrong dimension. Why not say bitcoin and Gold or real estate?

Bitcoin addiction is not too bad because it can push your limit to become better at crypto, trading and speculating Bitcoin got a high excitement so people can become addicted to it, usually the symptoms is keep on checking the price even though you don't have the coin
;DI agree. It is like a game, but with real money, so interest is higher not to lose 
Well it may be addictive but it's much healthier than taking hard drugs lol. I am wondering where we will be 5 years from now and if I am alive to see it at 57 years old by then, I would like to be totally retired, maybe just investing still in blockchain technology and posting on this forum. I wonder if we fast forward to that time we will be seeing maybe Bitcoin reach 100k USD. If I have 5 btc by then that won't be bad lol.
I also have a similar feeling, it's like drugs, you sell bitcoin, you will always be worried about whether you will miss it a new round of rising, is simply the spirit of opium
Yes! we can say bitcoin is like heroin or any kinds of addictive drug because being bitcoin user even I`m so tired in my hard work in the real would I`m still here and participating to earn money, but I am addicted in bitcoin because using bitcoin i earn money. That is the same thing if someone using illegal drugs they are happy on what they have done, that`s the reason why they are continually use drugs.
indeed bitcoin is like heroin once try will definitely addicted because bitcoin is very easy to learn and produce satisfactory results
Once you try doing bitcoin and you see the result .I trust,bitcoins is like heroin to you because you will very addicted in doing bitcoin work.The more you working on bitcoin.You will get very good result,like it will make you more rich.No matter how long and much times you work on it,you still doing bitcoin gambling because addicted.
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.
So any business, the same business is easy to call a game on nerves and finances. After all, we do not stop there, but try to do more, increase volumes or raise the price, so everything is here. Same as was gambling

It is not only money invested but it takes up a lot of time and sometimes at the sacrifice of other things you could be doing, I know I am checking crypto prices more than 10 times a day. It is definitely up there with gambling. Same as was gambling

Thing is, we need currency, we use currency everyday.
We don't need painkillers every day, and we don't use painkillers every day.
That is the difference.
It is something that matters.
On a side note, the government takes about 90% of my work in taxes. You understand how big intrusion into my life that is?
Crypto is here, and it can make a great change.
I know it's the addiction that you're trying to imply here. Yes, doing bitcoin is very addictive to the extent that you want to stay late at night just to read and post on a thread. And what makes it even more addicting is when you earn money out from your hard labor.
well if you are using bitcoin to earn money on its price then that is your own bet to make.
bitcoin for me is a good tool for getting paid

Its like a heroin because a person become addicted but not to the point that its about making own self crazy or out of control that was the effect of heroin while in bitcoin a person get addicted in earning money, got addicted in reading threads to learn more about crypto business,addicted on believing that everyone who wants to be a part of this botcoin community will become rich or to be financially free someday..positive side of being addiction on bitcoin.Some also get addicted on gambling because they thought that its just an easy money but without knowing how far money goes if a person get hook up in gambling it might reach to a point that a person will be bankrupt if he can control hiself..thats also addiction.

I partly agree that Bitcoin can be likened to heroin or any addictive substance for that matter that can be producing some feeling of ecstasy within our body. However, am limiting the similarity on that aspect. Heroin can be produced without limits as long as there is demand for the substance -- this is quite true with any other illegal drug. Heroin is illegal in all countries...the same thing is not true with Bitcoin though some countries are also banning it.
Heroin can never be used to buy anything...it is something to be bought and used or maybe traded to other items while Bitcoin is functioning as a currency aside from being a store of value. The main idea is really that we can be addictive in buying more and "hodling" on to our hoard of Bitcoin and I don't see anything wrong with that.
The main concern posited here is that just like getting addicted with heroin, getting involved with Bitcoin can end bad IF ONE DAY BITCOIN WOULD TURN OUT TO BE JUST ANOTHER BIG BUBBLE THAT POP just like what happened with the tulip mania centuries ago. In my opinion, in case there can be a Bitcoin bubble it can be likened to the housing bubble years ago that dampened housing prices but eventually the housing industry recovered. And for all intents and purposes, Bitcoin had been to many big crashes before...anybody interested on this just have to research more on Bitcoin history. Crashes never killed Bitcoin they instead made the cryptocurrency stronger and much better. People who are jumping into conclusion bout Bitcoin without studying its amazing history are people who are so noisy because they feel that they know much and they need to warn about others of the impending doom. Thanks for being concern but we in the Bitcoin industry are not actually that naive.
Going over the history of many bubbles, the BIG LESSON here is: never use other's people's money or credit in buying your Bitcoin.

you can not say that in the end it gets bad. indeed I feel addicted to bitcoin because I keep getting money from bitcoin. but I'm sure the next will be better and not end badly. because I have seen someone who has been in bitcoin for a few years but increasingly in the future his income is increasing Same as was gambling

Its like heroine and not like it.With heroine and crack cocaine you wake up the next morning with hangover while Bitcoin every day is an opportunity to grow and get more rich.Its like it somehow since you cannot get enough of it you just want to mine and buy more coin
Brilliant fucking analysis here by someone probably too young to even drink legally. Neither of those substances produce hangovers. And nobody here is even bright enough to spell heroin correctly. Bitcoin is like dope to all of you in a way. You'd suck dicks in a mile-long line of homeless black men to get it--the 3rd world shitposters, I'm talking about now. It is very addictive and deflates my outlook on humanity a little bit when I see the effect it has on people.
Also: I think bitcointalk is far more like heroin than bitcoin itself.
Yeah
Bitcoin is like heroine, because most of the people are addicted to bitcoin. They not only trust bitcoin but also love it. Now the price of bitcoin is increasing day by day. For that reason it is so populer.
Bitcoin can be compared to heroin because like using heroin, earning money from bitcoin has an effect that makes us really happy and relieved from struggles that we encounter especially financial issues. Bitcoin is like a drug that can be prescribed to those people who don't have any job and it will help them forget all those stresses. Bitcoin is like heroine, because most of the people are addicted to bitcoin. They not only trust bitcoin but also love it. Now the price of bitcoin is increasing day by day.
