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's not the same.
Addiction to heroin or drugs will end badly. Bitcoin is not an asset to be bad like those. This is a currency in the form of crypto, with limited stock yes. It's true, that the available stock for mined will be exhausted in time, but that doesn't mean it will be the end of Bitcoin itself.
Total Bitcoin is available as much as 21 billions, will later be spun in the market and can be traded for both trading and fellow users.
This is certainly different from your pessimistic.

Yeah your correct that bitcoin is a heroin now. Why? it because bitcoin can give an opportunity to become rich once you get high paid or receive a big amount of bitcoin. Since now bitcoin value is rising continuously.

do not you say that in the end the bitcoin is bad. I just feel addicted to bitcoin because I keep getting money from bitcoin. But I'm sure the next one will be better and not end badly. because I have seen someone who has been in bitcoin for a few years but the more the income increases, bitcoin is also able to complete my needs, so positive thinking is to bitcoin

there may be some that like that, but professional trading selau analyze and learn the market, I think it is not gamble, but if people do not know the science of trading can be said gambling, and they may be addicted to the rising bitcoin prices rise and rise, and at the time of down anti they are stuck because they can not resist lust

You can say that Bitcoin is an addictive drug. Why? Because you can earn money by not spending too much energy. It is much more of a lazy work. Just put a little effort on campaigns and you can earn depending on your rank. Work hard a little and make your rank higher so you can earn bigger.

The hardest thing that we can ever imagine doing is being addicted to a profit making decision. Cryptocurrency or bitcoin for that katter is that addicting option it makes us into something far more than usual because it changes us and it makes us yearn for more

The author gave a very interesting comparison. Indeed, investing in bitcoin is somewhat like a roulette game that always gives out the right number, but on the other hand, people who trade different stocks on exchanges are just as dependent, and they can also burn out. Therefore, personally I treat bitcoin as the shares of some firm, which is now rapidly developing.

Bitcoin is not a drug. If trading them, you have dependency, then this is your problem. As long as it brings profit they will be traded and get an exciting buzz.

Yes Like heroin and cocaine really addictive to me.


But it is addiction that the cause is good. Because we can have money and not addiction to gambling, online games and other bad habits that will bring. So instead of being addicted to gambling and alcohol. With bitcoins we are here because it is even better for us

Can be said to gambling for people who have the capital to buy coins..
and expect the price of coins change drastically ..
for me who do not have the capital, I can only get the coin by way and effort to follow the project or in the form of bounty signature campaign, that's the only way I can get the coin that I follow the project .. !!
and it is an effort every day that my needs can be fulfilled ..

No its not like that, it isn't like gambling, heroin or cocain. People are very excited to earn and earn bitcoin because they see a good chance from bitcoin, I am sure that normal people are won't miss any good chance. They just take their advantage of become early bitcoin users in this early stage .

Yes, I also think Bitcoin is like a drug. Once in contact, it is hard to leave the cryptocurrency market without anyone giving up huge profits.

You can not say invest in bitcoin is like gambling, and how can you say this will end badly?
Bitcoin will make you addicted to profit, but in gambling whenever you put your money in, then you will lose a lot of money every time. But not with bitcoin, you will not lose your money like in a casino.
Gambling is a shit, Bitcoin is a smart investment.

True to certain extend, Bitcoin and crypto can be addictive. But the downside is not as bad as heroin, Bitcoin doesn’t harm our health. Instead, it makes us better in term of financial and knowledgeable.

I don't think it would go bad in the end as the addiction in bitcoins is not that bad as cocaine and heroin. If we can earn a good profit in bitcoins then i would say that the addiction is good. Also it depends on each individual that what kind of addiction does he want to intake.

If taken positively, bitcoins are a profitable addiction and has no side-effects on our physical body. Also we can earn a good amount of profits in bitcoins and each technology friendly individual will spend some of his time in bitcoins to have some good profit.
I know people are talking in hyperbole, but even then, no addiction is healthy no matter what we are talking about, some people are addicted to exercising and while that seems like a good thing they end up injuring all their bodies due to the amount of exercise they do everyday.

I can relate to this in some way. I was so close to getting addicted to gambling when I tried doing a test-run on how it works. Honestly, I planned to gamble my bitcoin at some point when I am earning a decent amount of it because I've read somewhere that many bitcoin users earned a fortune through it. So, I thought that one day when I earned enough, I will try gambling for once. Then came on the day I tried bitcoin, and they offer free coins that you can bet on their games just so that you can have the feel of it. I tried to bet it to the games that I want to try and as I was doing it, I realized that spending my bitcoin here will only make me regret it later, so I never did try it on bitcoin.
