That is very true. Really feels good to buy bitcoin, especially when you buy in and the value increases tremendously. Same goes with altcoins.

everybody has a different opinion calm bitcoin, I think bitcoin is a new investment that can provide benefits, not the same as gambling, increase and decrease in price can be analyzed, all investments that give big profits then the risk is also great, I think bitcoin same as forex trading

It is true bitcoin is addictive, but it is not glamble, there is a reason make it so pricy
Yes interms of being addictive in using bitcoin because of rising value day by day, also they will be much addictive if bitcoin grow more in a few months or years. Being addicted in something is not always bad but sometimes especially in bitcoin is good.

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.
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.

I would not really use this analogy. Heroin long term kills you, Bitcoin probably will just make you rich long term, which is quite the opposite of death.

I agree with you. Being hooked into bitcoin is not considered as addiction such as gambling or drugs. Also the effects is very different, being onto bitcoin will make you more richer and will not kill you.

Yes i agree on that bitcoin cannot really be considered as  heroin because bitcoin is  profuctive way of gaining such extra profit online and it is not really addicting.I believe that people works bitcoin with the great excitement because of its unstable price  that is really profitable every time that it change because it is really a opportunity of buy and selling process of gaining that is why i believe that bitcoin is not an addicting kinds of gaining it is exciting.

Well to some I Agree it was an addiction but To me it was just a hobby, whenever I do bitcoin, I check the time and it limits my actions in doing BItcoin. But, I have a friend who always do bitcoin, whenever he thinks about it, he would go and just do it, specially on gambling. He loss most of the time and win very little but he wins bigtime. We cant help gamble still when your winning high, you just want to win more, thats what he said.

in my opinion heroin and bitcoin are two different things, and if we are serious we will benefit from bitcoin but otherwise Heroin can kill us slowly ....

You probably didn't get the meaning here. That means bitcoin becomes an addiction like heroin. After some time you cannot do without checking price or investing. That is not specific to bitcoin BTW. Whatever you invest or trade you will find yourself in same situation.

And when you see your income grow you are high, but when losses accumulate you feel depressed and in low moods, the same as from drugs withdrawal. It is profits that people become addicted to. So don't get obsessed with Bitcoin because losses can be just around the corner.

Many people say bitcoin is like a drug addiction but in a productive way. Bitcoin allows you to generate good income, as long as you dig up the more money you make. Money will also motivate you to do it in harmony.

I think that if you take it as a bitcoin addiction, I see it as something productive that you can earn and save money and taking a little knowledge of how this coin moves and is being made with more power.
I do not think it's like heroin a destructive drug, at least the business if you do not take it so personal you can leave

I've seen Bitcoin affect people in disturbing ways, taking over their lives and causing sleepless nights and stress. With anything, it depends on your nature and how one allows things to effect them. Bitcoin and crypto currency can contribute positively to people's lives. Just don't gamble more than you can afford.
