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.

Bitcoin is not like heroin, cocaine or any drugs because bitcoin cannot harm our health unlike those things. Bitcoin is some sort of a game, in which luck is needed but not so much appreciated if we only just think. The only problem of some people got addicted on gambling is that they never learn to quit, and we shouldn't care for them, it is their own choice. We lived with our own different perspective of wining in life, so mind yours. And bitcoin doesn't make them an addict, it is the game and them itself who makes them an addict.

You got it all wrong those type of drugs only do damage to your organism, while if bitcoin is done correctly it will only be beneficial for you, you are reading too much into this, bitcoin is just a currency, I do not get any kind of thrill by holding bitcoin at all.

If anything bitcoin should be compared to is gambling, having bitcoin and saving it is like gambling because you always want to keep saving and keep on greeding each time you see the price of the bitcoin going up, and always there is just a bit more, until some day the price might fall and lose, the addiction that is tied to bitcoin is nothing compared to the addiction of gambling or drugs because, you are not hurting anyone or you are not losing anything, it is just there if you are lucky you will get more profit as long as you have it.

I disagree, bitcoin is just an investment, an exotic investment, since many people when they think of investments they think about stocks and bonds or real estate but bitcoin can be one of the most effective ways to invest if you just hold but many people decide to not listen to that advice since they think they can outsmart the market.

why you say it ends badly, using this bitcoin takes a person's intelligence and experience if you want to get a profit. so if only lust you are obeying, then be prepared to accept loss. here people do business, not gambling.

I know a lot of people who have already taken out their initial investments and are only trying to grow their profits. You cannot assume that everyone is putting their life savings in bitcoin.

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?

I was thinking the same. When I read the topic, it gave a negative impact because heroine is a drug and drugs are too dangerous for health. The addiction of these things is a bad addiction. They destroy anyone who takes them and the devastation is directly proportional to the amount the addict takes in. With Bitcoin it is opposite. The more you gather it, more likely you are going to be rich in the future.

Yes, i truely believe in you. Bitcoins are not that bad addiction and have nothing to do with our physical life actually. Bitcoins can also be considered as a good addiction as it gives us a chance to earn a good living and also can make our financial life much more stable.

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.

That's true. I am agreed with you.

Bitcoin can be an addiction. Some people dont have regular jobs but they gain huge amount of profit by joining campaigns.

I'd mainline some bitcoin anyday! But for real dude, the rush isn't over yet so why would people consider bailing out now. This journey is only just starting to get interesting. I will quit crypto one day and i do have an endgame plan, but first i'm gonna get a decent amount of coins! #RetireFromCrypto

I wouldn't call bitcoin to be heroin or gambling, these are both very dangerous addictions. Bitcoin is not something you get addicted in that sense of word. But the truth is when you start to use it and you see all advantages that it has and all opportunities that it gives, you start asking yourself how could you earlier live without it and what would happen if one day you wouldn't have any bitcoins. Especially if you are getting regular profit that is something that you really get used to.

Bitcoin is also like a drug addiction but in productive way. The tendency why it was a drug addiction because it enables you to generate good income. and the longer you digging on it, the more money you earn. Money will also motivates you to do it consistently.

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.

You are absolutely right. I'm a bitcoin addict. And getting off this needle becomes more difficult. Every day I wake up with one thought - what bitcoin course is waiting for me today.
In fact, you can not compare these things, the principle of the cryptocurrency and the casino is completely different.

this is technology, you think too badly, everyone has hope and that encourages one's desire. not gambling and it does not make addictions, Bitcoin just giving an opportunity for those who want to use it. this is my assumption Grin

It's growing too fast and people are becoming delusional. You can see what stage we're at when you read people's posts. They begin with calm waiting that turns into happiness and anticipation of further growth, then it turns into first suspicion and reserve, but when it keeps growing that suspicion starts to slowly turn into insane delusion. People start posting their dream houses, talking about Bitcoin islands and comparing Bitcoin to drugs, like our OP. We are getting closer to the point where this delusion starts to turn into panic, disappointment and resentment.

Many people really like bitcoin like heroin because with bitcoin you can earn a great income and also you will get rich if you will only work hard to get ratings as well to earn a great income also in the field of mining and gambling. Bitcoin is not like drugs, bitcoin can help many people financially and that is the most advantage of bitcoin also because its value is very high. Cool

We can call it like heroin because when a person start to earn and like this domain too much, He will be addicted to it like me, Everyday i check news about bitcoin, since 1-2 years, I didn't think that i forget to check news about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general for 1 day, I really like so much bitcoin, and i know it will be more powerfull in the future, so i trust on it, and i will invest more and more.

i agree with you that bitcoin is like heroin but in a positive way. people are addicted to it because of the zeal to make wealth and watch their wealth grow. casino games are just a means some people believe in making their wealth. most bitcoin investors just buy and hold or buy and sell at a higher price.
