Getting obsessed and addicted to anything is not good for health. They end up negatively damaging the body. It is ones responsibility to be not obsessed with things. Same goes for bitcoin. You can't compare it with heroin. If you think you are addicted to bitcoin like heroin then you should get help and stop obsessing yourself for bitcoin.

Bitcoin can not be compared with heroin or cocaine. He carries away, but does not create dependence as drugs. A bit bitcoin resembles a game of chance, one that depends on who is treating it. In fact, if you treat bitcoin as a gamble, it's likely that you will lose your money. Bitcoin should be treated calmly, without excessive fussiness and emotion.

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.
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.
We cannot deny the fact that yes it is addictive like heroin but the only difference is bitcoin can be so addictive in a way that it can help people to have a better lives. Its profitability way to earn wherever and whoever you are is already a great privilege for its user. Unlike heroin, it is a powerful illegal drug that is prohibited for medical use because of its euphoric effects. Heroin "abuse and dependence" produce serious medical side effects, which may directly or indirectly result in death.

In my point of view, bitcoin for me so addictive that it gives me optimistic view of what my future looks like. Without it, i am so unsure of my future and of course, im a bit anxious of what's gonna happen financially.
And since i don't like drugs and gambling, i have no fear of investing in bitcoin because so far, i never found myself in a losing situation when i have invested in bitcoin. And if one day bitcoin will be gone for good? I got nothing to lose since i already spent my ROI in bitcoin. Smiley

was missing topics like this from the OP, a well known fud spammer.
You canbecome addicted to basically anything in your life, i don't see your point, i mean, this can be a valid point but it can be applied to everything: tobacco, alchool video poker which are way more dangerous to use (and not talking about drugs).
This make no sense at all, nor it's an eye opener topic, just another useless topic by freight joe.

I'd venture to say that it is not Bitcoin which is addictive like drugs, it is fast and easy profits that people quickly get used to and can no longer live without. Though I agree that this addiction can end badly because it can be said that this money is unearned. Easy come, easy go.

I find you compare bitcoin with heroin is not correct. Bitcoin is not like heroin, it makes life much better. It brings people income, which is quite different from what you compare

I admit that Bitcoin can make people addicted like heroin. But the difference is that bitcoin addiction is because the very profitable bitcoine but addicted to heroin will have a negative effect on its pecks.

Bitcoin doesn't produce addiction just like heroin does or other other types of drugs, or like with gambling but it similarly has made some to make impulsive and reckless decisions. I don't see it as an addiction but rather it can make one blind and greedy. Because of the promise of money or getting rich which gambling and bitcoin brings and some has believed, this has made the behavior of some to be reckless to the point that it may ruin their lives. It is in that way which makes bitcoin similar to heroin - or drugs.

Personally, I'm just attracted to get some extra income and feed my family, to provide my children with everything necessary for life. Bitcoin acts as heroin only on very greedy people.

yes, I think so too. When I invest in bitcoin, I won't be interested in serious work anymore, and I will always observe the K line when I go to work.

Well even money or paper money can be considered an addiction especially if we let it run our loves. HOwever I still think that mo ey or cryptocurrency is a neccessity and it has to be handled with care and that is something we can all agree on doing.

We are all somehow dependent on money. Be it bitcoin or another currency. Lautomo in a sense, it can be compared with narcotic. The only difference is that in the absence of drugs, the addict starts breaking and the crypto currency receivers have a new incentive to extract it.

A lot of people ruins themselves in Stock Exchange - so stock or money is heroin? bullshit! If you don't know Bitcoin or Trading or Investing - why do you even bet on Bitcoin? Gambling is a game for some people, they get some fun in gambling, they don't bet everything on Gambling - only loosers does. Bitcoin is no heroin or addicting something - you need to know investment basics before you bet on bitcoin.

Heroin did not try, but the fact that bitcoin is a narcotic substance is true. Now it is so popular that everyone has heard about it. I myself am now actively monitoring the news in the world of crypto-currencies. Therefore, I can say that the future belongs to him. Smiley

You're right! There are people out there who prefer fast but risky way of earning bitcoin rather than a little bit slow but secured way of earning. Due to that kind of attitude, those people choose to gamble their money and try to push their luck there. In gambling, you feel motivated when you are winning so there's a tendency that you will bet more, and you will get frustrated if you are losing so there's a tendency to buy more and try again your luck. This addiction is like a maze that you can't easily escape.

I can say that I'm also addicted to bitcoin but not in that way. I'm addicted to it in a sense that it takes a lot of my time, it consumes a lot up to the point that I failed to do my household chores sometimes. But fortunately, I can still control myself.

It's the bitcoin expectation that gets people addicted, the expectant state creates a large rush of dopamine.  It can actually be addicting because your body up-regulates the dopamine receptors, so requires more.

If you are getting beyond just fascination with it, try putting a timer on your device and only check when the timer goes off, just to space out the dopamine effect.

I disagree comparing bitcoin and heroin. I know heroin just cause disadvantages for us while bitcoin make us get more money even job.

Yes OP exaggerated a bit with comparing bitcoin with heavy drugdayI agree that we are addicted, bitcoin offers us good chances to earn big money and we come here everyday and and we hope for the best. After months and years doing the same we surely become addicted to all this crypto world and I notice that I often add bitcoin into my conversations with friends. Unlike drugs being addicted to bitcoin is better and healthier for sure, and that is the future where we can become richer and more independent.
