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 really like heroin because with bitcoin you can earn big and also youll get rich if you will just work hard to ranked up to earn big also in mining and gambling as well.But not like drugs,bitcoin can help alot of people finacially and that is the most advantage about bitcoin also because of its high value.

How do you use Bitcoin?

can be said that way too, let a bitcoin like heroin that can make people addicted, of course because bitcoin gives a very positive, especially in the field of finance in the life of the bitcoiner

It's not about luck. In this case the casino has been rigged to always make the player win. There's no "house" after all.

I haven't bought much Bitcoin with physical money. All my Bitcoins come from mining and signature campaigns. I can't really say that I see why buying Bitcoin and watching the charts would be addictive. I just check the price once every day and that's it.

You can not snort or shoot up bitcoin so no it is not like herion. Also, you don't pay tax on herion
 :-[

I think you will use the bitcoin for girl to have fuck.So only you see the bitcoin as a heroin.Bitcoin is the hero in the Crypto Currency world.Bitcoin is like a king in a Crypto  Currency .

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

Don't compare drugs on bitcoin, Its addictive but bitcoin doesn't ruin people lives like abusive used to drugs, People addictive to gamble usually accused bitcoin to be ruining their financial status. But it's not that, Bitcoin doesn't make people addictive to gamble. It's the self-discipline of the people who play gamble on how to manage his/her self when it comes to gambling. Simple if you don't want to get addicted, then don't play or bet.

Bitcoin gives freedom and more privacy to the people. Bitcoin put people in control of their money, bitcoin market is open and traded 24/7 unlike banks that only opens 5 days a week, 5-9! Once you taste the joy and freedom of bitcoin there is no going back, trust me.

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.

Ah, a new thread to laugh upon in the morning, third day in a row! Yesterday bitcoin was used for funding North Korea nuclear program, am I right? ;D


Same for me. Most of my coins were mined years ago and I almost forgot about them until this year. It was a pleasant surprise.

This is a definitely interesting take on why people purchase bitcoin. I think that indeed there are some aspects of bitcoin that seem like gambling. It has no physical backing like all other currencies. However, with the price being determined by the community support, the more people that show undying support, the higher bitcoin goes up. It's a weird cycle that's bound to continue, honestly. There will always be someone with hard core beliefs about bitcoin skyrocketing regardless of how it's actually doing.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

indeed bitcoin is like heroin once try will definitely addicted because bitcoin is very easy to learn and produce satisfactory results

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.

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

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.  ;D

 ;D ;DI agree. It is like a game, but with real money, so interest is higher not to lose

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

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 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.

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.

Well then i am not sure how i feel about comparing bitcoin or other crypto currencies to drug substances like heroin or crack. While it is true that people get a rush to trading or holding bitcoin.  The same could be said for fully regulated long established businesses like gambling or buying stocks on any exchange.

lmao.bitcoin like a crack? yes it's like a crack when the rate up so high or when you got big amount with small deposit. the rate go down or you lost all you have in gambling like you ran out of your crack. high and dry and ofc get stoned. And also gambling believe in luck. I agree with you man. That's why I rarely visit the gambling sites, I can't double my bitcoin(crack) anymore. :)

Atleast it is the same as bitcoin, we don't need to pay taxes.

But you don't need to "physically" compare bitcoin to heroin and other drugs that needed to be "snorted" or to be "shooted" up, it is just a figure of speech, bitcoin is like heroin because it is giving us addiction, addiction because of the profit it gives, not only in gambling but in investing it.

Here you want directly say that bitcoin is bad like heroin , bitcoin is bad like Gambling , bitcoin is bad like bad things that have bad results . Here This guy is totally out of understanding about the bitcoin Because he is saying without evidence and without going through it .It seems that OP is having the bitcoin in his life full of loss Because of lack of understanding otherwise why he will talk about it in such a way .
Here OP needed to see what the profit and what is the advantages are associated with the bitcoin , Japan like big countries even accepted bitcoin as an legal way of payment , then ofcourse op is wrong at his place and bitcoin is more better and powerful to rise the economy of the countries who accepted it officially .

Like heroin ;D BTC is good investment currently and you need to be cold-mind investor to earn more money with BTC :) however, I don't recomend to spend all fiat money for BTC :)

Well in terms of adiction or maybe effect to our self maybe it can be considered as heroin but in times of profit it really not like thta kind of heroin bitcoin cant really ruin someones life because bitcoin is just an asset about gaining and an extra work to have  an extra income while heroin can make your life mesirable like you want to die and you well really act like you are not human while in bitcoin as long as you help your self you also help others by introducing bitcoin blessing to them.

Bad comparison in my opinion. If you're having trouble with addiction (in crypto or anything else) you should seek professional help before it turns into something worse and potentially unhealthy. Stay safe out there, remember that there's no need to keep track of prices 24/7.

particularly true . me I am not that much in to crypto world before but now . its like magnetizing me to go and accept crypto and be part of my daily life. AND I would not lie but it is true.. the fact that it is like you want more and more beside what you have. heheheheh
so I think it is fairly true for some of people. but I am the kind of person I can tolerate my self heheheh keep earning bros

Well its addicted by it didn't have the negative effects of being addiction to drugs.


The rush of buying bitcoin has been here since bitcoin started. But unlike gambling, most of us have already scored big specially the early adopters. Gambling on the on the other hand, gives you the hope to win big, but most of the time you ended up losing in the end. In bitcoin, the more you hodl the higher chances you will profit.


We understand the risk that's why there are people who really put savings in bitcoin because they believed in it. But in the end all its good because in bitcoin you have a high chance of winning as compared to gambling. So your argument that bitcoin is like gambling is wrong at the very beginning.

A good opinion and I like your opinion.
If everything has a high value then you definitely have the most benefit from bitcoin.

i am totally agree with you but for trading bitcoin i think its a good enough than we are only playing gambling because in the end, we can always take profit from the trading and we can make big money from bitcoin. i don't have my luck work in the gambling games but i have my luck work in trading so i think i will choose for trading bitcoin only but i can playing gambling games too.

Bad comparisons are freightjoe's specialty, he creates a few of these threads to troll every day. Of course, there are some people that are probably over financially exposed to Bitcoin and would suffer at some point if the price decreases dramatically. However, comparing a psychological addiction to a physical one caused by a chemical dependency doesn't  really work. There are not many heroin users that can control their use, but many involved in Bitcoin are fully in control of the risks they take with their money.

I don't think it is like heroin or cocaine Because it has always the Better thing and results to have than what the cocaine like stupid things have , cocaine like things are only made to addiction for the people and give them death but here bitcoin is like the way to makes your dream  in to real .
Here perosnally I myself was against the bitcoin but when I came across the bitcoin field throughout then I found that it is not that option where we can money by investing but it is more than a assets where we can do another buisiness at worldwide level and much more than what we can expect .
So here everyone should be positive to have bitcoin in our life and use it for good things like make money and realise the dream and to help the country to increase the economy .

As a trader i dont think so that it is an addiction because at first if you are trading mostly lack of sleep because you are monitoring your coin and market because of profit margin or any loss we all know that. Also  i dont think so that keep tracking your coins 24/7 is a bad choice well that is the strategy on gaining profit though it is unhealthy we aint saying that we are not sleeping it is just hour by hour we check.

yes bitcoin is like heroin if we start a business in bitcoin then we will be keep on doing the bitcoin business its like if we like a heroin then we will be a fan of her here also same

That's correct , it's just like gambling so prepare yourself for the worst.
But if you're lucky enough , you able to earn some profit from it as you can see bitcoin value at the moment. Of course there are some risk that bear with it !

Bitcoin like heroin because bitcoin has high attractive to people to buy bitcoin.
Not only bitcoin, everything has own risk might be ending good or bad.

Hahaha yes bitcoin is like heroin if someone starts with it they get addicted everyone wants to have more and people spend a lot of hours some even spend days by just looking at the charts of trading how everything goes and how it should go.

,in short he means it was addicting, well once you see the results it really do become addiction. in life once we see the developments we get attached to it already, and since bitcoin has proven that it could change lives for over so many testimonies proved that it changed the way they look in life, then it probably is addicting, but not totally that money is your life already, it is that you can live your life with your own terms.

You can not compare investing on bitcoin with gambling. Gambling depends on pure luck with no uncertainty.  If you are lucky enough, you win big. If you are unlucky, you lose it all. But investing on bitcoin gives you a certainty of profit. Even if you lose a little bit, it will end up recovering and giving you massive profit in the long run. You also have better control over your risks.

The addiction is always pay better money. If you put money btc your addiction there. If you love love something automatically we addicted to it.

This addiction is worth always. You see how btc in 2009 and now. If you were addicted during those days , now you billioner.

Bitcoin is not like gambling.In gambling,we totally rely on the luck for our earnings.I don't know how buying bitcoins could be compared to gambling.In gambling,either we double our invested money or totally,we loose our investment.I hope no one has lost his invested money yet in bitcoin totally.Investment in bitcoin is just like investment in gold.

I feel you man, It really is like heroin. I just can't get enough of it!

I think it is true, ever since I started earning bitcoin, I always check updates about bitcoin from time to time. I find more ways so I can earn more. People are going crazy over bitcoin because it is really profitable. A lot of people became rich because of bitcoin and crypto trading.

Bitcoin very addictive but bitcoin doesn't ruin people lives like abusive used to drugs, bitcoin makes some people financials much better

Maybe we consider the bitcoin as an heroin because it makes other people addicted on it. Their are too many advantages and helps you can get in able to deal with the bitcoin process that truly makes you interrested about it and know more deeper than other through visiting it day by day.

Bitcoin is like heroin, that's if you connect it in gambling/gambling with bitcoin.
We have to know, generally bitcoin is not for negatively activity only.. and not for gamble only. It sounds bad to me.. :( I think it's not worth bitcoin equated with heroin, which's really very special for me.
You have to know, not just gambling associated with bitcoin, there are many other more positively things that we can create or do with bitcoin. It's depends on the person alone, he/she is good or no to using bitcoin in their activity.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Bitcoin is something addictive. However, Bitcoin is more of an additional need for me. It's too much to equate Bitcoin with heroin.

Guns are to keep you and your family safe, but if you use a gun to kill innocent people, that's your problem, not the gun. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and right now the best option to make money by investing, a lot of people are making good money. Also, there are some who are using Bitcoin for wrong things, maybe you are one of them. But don't blame Bitcoin, if you want it as a bad thing that's your issue, not the Bitcoin.

It is indeed like heroin people get addicted to it and i think they even want to make it their daily job people made bitcoin their daily job and are so addicted to it they know everything about it and how everything works and they even earn a lot in just a week or two.

I don't get it as an addiction, bitcoin is an asset, a currency mostly accepted online and some countries, it is like you are saying that gold is like a heroin. Bitcoin is addicting if you are using this digital currency in gambling.

I love crypto and bitcoin but i am not addicted.
However, I know persons who spend a lot of time at the front of computer screen,
trading bitcoins ... sometimes leveraging to earn more.
Some of you love hectic and emotional daily-trade.

Maybe is like heroin, but i think that is more like gamble, because as you say this "trade process" give dopamine, like when you gamble.
I mean the process of buying more bitcoin for earn more money, we all want to earn easy money, but we need to be cautious

Like of heroin or other types of drugs or alcoholic drinks,bitcoin is also addicted. But when you are addict in bitcoin you are in a good way. When you do bitcoin regularly,you are almost near at your success unlike when you are addict at heroin or in any drugs you are near in death or in jail. But the thing that drugs and bitcoin are the same is when you did not know how to use it a negative effect is when you cannot control your self to give all your money until it may cause loss. To much of everything is not good in our life so do it in a right way.

in heroin you cant pay tax.. but in bitcoin you have to pay tax  :( :(

yes it can be addictive but in a good way 😊

Drugs are addictive but they cause harm to the body. Bitcoin is only beneficial to their owners. In my opinion this is a significant distinction. For me bitcoin is a beacon. He shows us the way where to move in order to enable them to live with dignity. we are faced with government opposition, but I am sure that m will win.

You would like to say bitcoin may be addictive like heroin, i agree this, bitcoin is being addictive with all investors. Why? All investors always look for profit for their investment and bitcoin is always response their requirements. Investor addicted bitcoin and always want to acquire more bitcoin to become richer so all investors are addicting enrich :D

Do you mean whether bitcoin can make us addicted? indeed bitcoin can make people addicted to using it, but if the bitcoin difference is the same as heroin, if bitcoin we can benefit from bitcoin results, and of course we can make an investment that could eventually make our future better, but otherwise if heroin can not to be a good investment, it will only make our future bleak.

If you see it like that then it's a game for you and not an investment and it's dangerous.

yes, bitcoin makes me addicted, because my time I only use to find bitcoin so that I get big enough profit.

time for another hit  ;D

If someone who is used to bitcoin, obviously inside him will be addicted, just as everybody's heroin will depend.

I do not feel addicted to bitcoin. Because I still have logic and thoughts that are not excessive to have something. I do want the advantages of bitcoin, but I'm not really chasing lust.

Indeed Bitcoin is like Heroin since they are both addictive. Heroin & other drugs are purposely for medication, that' s the positive side. But people used it abusively for personal pleasure and purposes which led their body & mind to react differently when they are high on drugs. And it will be hard for them to get out from that situation. Bitcoin as well is like drugs, once you are earning higher and higher, the more you want to get more and more than what you need.

Yes, it makes you an addict, a fan, the person, who wants to learn  about it more and more, get it, mine for it, trade, invest…But I will never compare it with any drugs as drugs ruin health and bring a man to death, while BTC brings you to wealth.

This addiction can make you rich. Totally different from getting addicted to any illegal substance out there. There's no ROI in drugs, unless you're a dealer which is extremely hazardous to you and your clients. Bitcoin trading is not about pure luck or a game of chance like gambling in a casino. It is based on calculated risks.

this topic is kinda stupid, how can you paragonate bitcoin and heroine? You did for real?

I can't see any similarity between something that is changing people's lives for better and drugs that destroy people's lives and don't give them any real benefit. Drugs are one of the most deep problems in society and in people's lives, I don't even compare this kind of thing with drinks addiction, because it's different. Money "addicteds" are ambitious, envious and unscrupulous without being under effect of any substance (what is the case of drugs addicted).

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.

Bitcoin is like heroine, because most of the people are addicted to bitcoin. i love it  8)

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.

man, you need to stay off that shit famlay.  :D heroin is heroin, bitcoin has no part of that story LOL. tell Middle America otherwise  ;)

you cant put this on bitcoin one bit. i will allow you that bitcoin may facilitate some poor habits (its really easy to gamble with bitcoin, and people are more likely to spend bitcoin on something that they would not have purchased otherwise with fiat). but what you are describing is a psychological condition that doesnt really have anything to do with bitcoin. gamblers are gamblers, if its crypto, fiat, whatever. sometimes thats rolling the dice a few times, or spinning the wheel; it could manifest as trader a that takes too much risk on leverage.

but despite how it rears its head, its an addiction to thrill seeking/risk taking behavior, not cryptos.

unless you want to call greed an addiction.

I think you try to said addiction about bitcoin is same with heroin or gambling addiction.
In this case you are right. But the other is they are really different.
Bitcoin much better heroin or just type of gambling.

I think what you say is wrong. addicted to heroin or gambling different from crypto. you must have knowledge and of course plan and experience. very different from gambling and heroin. this is a wrong thought, when you invest money in something you will expect in return for a profit. and when you gamble almost 90% you have lost. as well as with heroin, you will spend money in vain.

Hehe, yeah. Maybe for some people addicted to equate smoothly between drugs and investment. Maybe from the side of drug users by using drugs we hope to get the peace. So also with the investment we hope to get a profit. But of course I would agree if it is different. Thank you

Of course,every crypto valute have money value. And people can addicted on money..  I think this is a most dangerous drug on world.

Yes it is true, we just need to believe in ourselves in order to win this currency we can compare it in real life if you don't believe you will never get what you wanted but if you insist in yourself that you will will it may happen, so do not forget to believe no matter what happen, and also if you know how thanks someone or know how to gratitude there are so many luck will come into you life, opportunities and so on.

Yes cause once bitcoin has been introduce to you you get addicted to it...you want to check if it gains or loose specially of you put you last cash on to it...hehehhe

I really agree with agan, if we already know bitcoin then we will continue to seek profit, and will not recognize the time spent just for a bitcoin.

Bitcoin is nothing like heroin. Here is a quick summary of what opiate addiction is like:
Desperately wanting to stop, but knowing that the drug has a complete hold on you.  Swearing to yourself every time you shoot up that it will be the last time, but once the dope sickness starts creeping up, you go out and do another bag to push those withdrawals back a couple of hours.  This endless cycle of promising never to do it again, getting dope sick, doing “one” just to feel better, then saying “fuck it” and doing a whole bundle, continues until you’re completely out of money, then you start stealing from people you care about to buy more, the stealing from friends, neighbors, businesses, going to the pawn shop 2-3 times per day, hoping to get at least $10 so you can get well for a couple hours.  Not eating, because the money you spend on food is just money that you can’t spend on dope, and you’re not going to be hungry anyway after a couple bags.  Slowly, your list of “I’ll-Never”s gets shorter and shorter until you would do literally anything to get your hands on one more bag; shit you never would have thought of doing before that first time you picked up.  All the while, the good person inside of you is screaming for you to stop, but you lost all control over your addiction a long time ago, and the only way you can think of to stop the battle inside your head, and the awful feeling and panic of withdrawal that constantly haunts you, is to kill yourself, and knowing that every bag you shoot might be that bag that causes you to OD, but not giving a fuck, because your life is already over.

I hope to god that bitcoin hasn’t affected anyone on here to that extent.

yes, I agree with what you think, that bitcoin is like heroin, can make everyone not stop to get bitcoin, even can make some people crazy.
it's because bitcoin has a very high grade and can change the economy of the people who use it.

how can you say that this topic is stupid? op is only saying  that bitcoin is like heroine because it creates an addiction to him just like drugs and i think there is nothing wrong about that though  majority of people including me are also experiencing the same problem as op does because we cant even sleep or eat properly due to so much addiction to this crypto thing.

bitcoin is like heroin?yes

Same as was gambling?yes

In the end it ends bad?NO absolutely not,just like heroin you can be addicted but if you know what to do before it kills you well i might say thats the better move,.for me I'd rather put my self in rehabilitation before worst thing happens.thats how a do in my bitcoin career i am addicted to him but i make sure my rehabilitation is ready in time when it needed.so theres a difference between bitcoin and heroin its on whos involve and how would he carry the situation

Well i believe  that bitcoin cannot be considered as heroin or like a heroin as well.bitoin is really different from bitcoin in terms of impact to the society heroin is really  a prohibited drugs that can really harm to the life  of individuals.While bitcoin is really a great big opportunity for everyone that can really make anyone gain a huge profit that is why bitcoin is not really considerable as a heroin or any kinds of prohibited drugs because the difference bitween the two is really big.

Well I agree with the addiction part. Making money is addictive because it will give you the ability to buy your needs and wants. You get the feeling of looking forward to receive the income from your hard work using bitcoin. The most interesting part of this addiction is that there are ways on how you can earn it for free and because it is free, patience and determination is only your investment.

Agreed :D

   It depends on person. Some people use to say that ciggarettes for them equal to heroin because they cant quit. Excuse me but they are just weak people. Same situation here, someone who has not strong life basis tends to be addicted to anything helps him to escape real problems. I dont mean I am strong, but my situation is different

I do believe bitcoin is actually like heroin because of its addiction.
But bitcoin is a very good innovation.  Which is being make used in a very good way

Yeah I agree with that many people can help by bitcoin even they don't have an investment to offer and I really like bitcoin the way it works. Because of bitcoin maybe my lonely future can really change for a better future like what happen to my friend he totally earn a great price of bitcoin on his campaign he joined before.

It is an addiction. Once you've started engaging towards it there is no way out. Bitcoin is a very helpful thing it is good as long as greed wont be a thing.

I agree with you Bitcoin attracts people like heroin with a positive meaning. This is the due to of the fact that Bitcoin has own value for the economy. It is not a gamble.

I do not agree with the fact that like cocaine or heroin bitcoin generates addiction. Bitcoin does not produce addiction, it is more a hobby than a dependence. Bitcoin, by contrast, provides financial freedom, not dependence. Like every hobby, bitkoyn can be called a game, but not gambling. Here you need a cold calculation and a sober mind to successfully deal with the crypto currency. Who will approach bitokoyu as a gamble, he will definitely lose.

LOL.... iam even surprised that even some members agreeing with you .... iam sorry but this is so not true. bitcoin is not like an herion (herion is an addiction that will eventually kill you ) how can you compare an innovative evolving technology that will affect and change our entire financial system forever to something like herion!!! bitcoin is service that we offer to people to keep their safe to make transactions without the need of the middle man (banks) and the of course the anonymity wish no one can find out who you are unless they dig really hard to find out you are completely wrong about what you are thinking and you feel that way towards bitcoin you better get out now

yes it is like that, bitcoin can cause severe addiction
coins like drugs, when we are addicted, and when it runs out of stuff, you will feel the sakaw, but bitcoin provides a positive addiction, helping your financial income ..

Bitcoin is different from heroin. People who join in bitcoin will work hard to achieve their life goals. Unlike heroin, people who use heroin will be addicted to negative things. Heroin will only worsen the life of the wearer.

I too now is addicted because of the gains that I get from trading bitcoin and altcoins.

Yes you re right! bitcoin makes addiction to a people but in a good and a best way unlike drugs and gambling money that only give you a big headache and can destroy your entire life. It is an addictions that can change situations in your life and gives new opportunity to other people.

Yes it creates addiction because its simplicity, easy to use, etc, unlike heroin or other drugs, addictive because it binds you.

I'm so sorry I can't agree with you because I don't have any experience taking heroin or any illegal drugs I don't know how it feels but I know what addiction feels like. I do agree that bitcoin captures our interest and becomes part of our daily habit so yes, it's addictive in a positive way

dont compare heroin to bitcoin,because bitcoin is a good investment that you can get a lot of profit from it unlike heroin is a kind of drugs that people gets addicted and when its over use it causes many crime in the country.

Well it depends on people how they uses their money or bitcoin. Yes, we know most of people know bitcoin are in stage of addiction that when they get high profit they are willing to give all of their saving into coins. Not all the time is has bad ending it just on how you control yourself and how you manage your coin or bitcoin in a good way.

Unfortunately, you are right. Bitcoin is addictive and I could call myself addicted to Bitcoin. I used to spend a lot of time checking the exchanges rates of many various cryptocurrencies. Fortunately, I somehow managed to get rid of that habit. I still spend a lot of time browsing Bitcointalk and some other crypto related websites.

Like heroin or cocaine, exactly, it's addictive, but it makes money, not it hurts health or people. bitcoin helps many rich people,

I also do, I never feel or try heroin so it seems I do not agree with what you describe. ;)

like gambling. Exactly, for those who know bitcoin is not gambling, of course they may fail but very few. For many people without knowledge, they will certainly fail

In one sense bitcoin is like heroin.Because by selling bitcoin you can earn a huge amount of currency.
Another sense heroin is an addiction.But bitcoin isn't addiction or drugs.It's a good investment.
Overall it depends on what way you use it. 8)

Bitcoin is really like heroin,especially when you start earn big you can't afford not to keep on mining it.You feel like you were addicted and keep coming back to it. Yet it has a very big differe ce to effects since in heroin you will get bad then act bad while in bitcoin it has good effects because we are earning big. Bigger than what we get from a regular job if we have one. People would definitely choose to be addicted with bitcoin rather than with heroin because we are earning at the same time we learn a lot of things. It is considered a blessing to everyone who has been using it for years. This helped the economy so much especially the unemployment. So why would rather be addictes with heroin if we are not earning? We must choose the right one which is being active to bitcoin.

There is an addictive element to the crypto currency world where you find yourself checking prices of coins and learning as much as you can about cryptos.

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 ;D

No Heroin is a Drag and Bitcoin is a Digital Crypto Currency you can call bitcoin is liquid money.

heroin is bitcoin yeah i do believe its addicting but in positive ways this could make our life better,thats the difference between bitcoin and heroin,drugs addicting in Sense that can bring us to baddest situation bot like bitcoin can bring us to better lfuture

It is happening now as bitcoin is power of the currency, I hope the bitcoin is the type of the drugs now I know the bitcoin is the help for the people and I know the bitcoin is going to have the bright future as well; I have a lot of the money in the bitcoin and it will give me the save investment for the profit who have invested the large amount of the money in the bitcoin,

Bitcoin not only use gambling its use crypto trader and some online payment .So we cannot talk anything directly about bitcoin.Bitcoin is a father of cryptopia currency.

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. 8)

Somebody really connects with btc in heroin way lol it's a pity anyway... Talking in a better point of view btc makes ppl rich and happy in a moment. Other sees that. BTC is El Dorado of our time, I suppose.

This is a lousy statement, you cannot compare it with heroine. Bitcoin is a new technology and because of the increasing price you could use it as an investment. The profits one can make with it are very exciting, so in a way you can get a kick of it. But the flash you get from a shot of heroine will not last that long and in the end you'll be poor. While Bitcoin can take you skyhigh and make you rich.

True and false, i don't agree with your argument about the ending

I could say that it’s like heroin (even if I never take heroin so i don’t  know what it is like, I only guess   ;D). When the coin increased I had a feeling of euphoria (a little). But when the coin falls, pffff  I felt angry with myself. At first, I looked at all the time the graph. And when I wanted to buy every minute.
The evening, before going to bed, I watched again the token price and of course I had trouble sleeping. I've turned the page. Now, i watch coinmarketcap once every 3 days or week. Mylifecom   :D

I think if you are getting too much addictive to it, its more of being greedy. Bitcoin should act as a help. An oppurtunity for someone who wants to have money for the future.

haha, yes, I'm addicted too.  :D. Look the increasing of Bitcoin now, I'm sure  that there are many many wanna buy "Heroin".  :D

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.

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.

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.

How do you snort bitcoin? I don't know what you ussualy get your fix from but you should really stop using that stuff.

Yes, I see  there are too many people who dont understand about cryptocurrency will spend very much money to invest in Bitcoin. It is dangerous.

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.

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.

How funny ! bitcoin is lock like heroin , Bitcoin is a Virtual coin it is not a Heroin.

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 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.

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

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

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.

That's true. I am agreed with you.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

I think you are too naive, there are many differences from gambling heroin and bitcoin. if you are a junkie you just buy and get stoned with it. and if you are a gambler, you are risking all your money until you become poor. If you are involved in bitcoin, you must have knowledge and experience. then you can feel the effects of the benefits

Yes, most likely. I got addicted to it. I quit my Job just because I need to focus more on Bitcoin, and i kinda felt ashamed for it. But it's too good.

Just like heroin or crack cocaine, it creates an addiction.
 
and due to massive adoptation, it can be marked as illegal too! it is impossible for bankers to not take actions.

LOL it is the funny post because the bitcoin and the drugs are the different thing because the bitcoin is helping a lot of the people I have seen the bitcoin for the money and I have seen the bitcoin source of the income as a lot of the people now, bitcoin is the drug for those who are not having the source of the income I can say the bitcoin is buying a lot of the things for the people who are ready to buy the things for the people.

I believe so that Bitcoin is like heroine because it is addicting. The longer you work here, the longer you desire to earn more. Though for me it isn't bad at all because Bitcoin helps me to be positive and hopeful that one day I can be millionaire by the help of this.

Once you do get the hang of doing the transactions with almost without flaw, it can be really addicting. You tend to create a better set of trade and investment goals in the future as well.

I don't think bitcoin like heroin, I think bitcoin the bigger from heroin.. bitcoin is something can help you when you have problem especially the financial problem, bitcoin give you new life and new hope for the better future.. if heroin can damaging your body but bitcoin can give you many advantages..

I am not agree with the statement that It is like heroin because if you are addicted with heroin then it is harmful and illegal in the world but  in the case of bitcoin it is a helpful and hopeful currency. If we say that if you earn some amount of money in the form of bitcoin it is your cash you can use it for your needs. Some people are very much addicted with bitcoin like the traders they want to earn more and more in the crypto currency.

it depends on your approach to bitcoin, being addicted to it can result to wrong decisions in your investments. Addiction to bitcoin might also result to gambling and impatient moves. It can also result damage not just to your financial life but also to your social life.

I think you will use the bitcoin for a business. So only you see the bitcoin as a heroin.Bitcoin is the hero in the Crypto Currency world.Bitcoin is like a king in a Crypto  Currency world.

bitcoin is very similar to heroin...because you devote so much time...you can't stop...it's very similar) and when you get a profit, you feel nothing less than euphoria

It does appear like it can be like that when using it to garner money. Like apples and oranges- especially if your not having success with it like the majority.

I don't know if it is but for me it's both addictive and a challenge you never if it is going to crash or you will be ten times richer with your investment, but like all the other post here it will make you stay at night and get up very early just to check the price.

I agree with you Botcoin is like heroin, people who use can get drunk, while bitcoin every day is a chance to grow rich, bitcoin can have a good effect, especially financial problems, and can be taught to people who do not work, so it can help they

Bitcoin is something unique unlike other common investment, bitcoin able yield more profit but at same time, it's also has a risk.
Overall bitcoin show an uptrend that amaze all bitcoin trader around the world. It's create a new opportunity for people to earn profit with bitcoin

~Bitcoin is future !

you are totally right. The reward of getting more money or winning more coin will eventually make you addicted . It's already happening to me , While i'm in class or outside i always find myself about bitcoin price,did it fall?,is there any new freelance work for me.... it's consuming all my toughts . but i wouldn't compare it to heroin because heroin will completly ruin yourlife and turn it upside down. Bitcoin is financially beneficial aside from the gambling method.

Every investment is a gamble why?because ull never know how much will it win u or maybe loose you
So bitcoin isn't like cocaine it's not addictive u just need to be smart using it

I think this happens only with people who do not understand the technology of the blockchain and cryptocurrency. People who are just looking for easy money like in a casino.

Yes may be but totally different addict to hereoine gives us a negative effect but addict to bitcoin give us a positive effect it is massive to addict bitcoin because btc mskes millionairess

Wow you are all over the bitcoin stuff I guess. Don't worry bitcoin is not the thing or its not something, it is what it is, an asset, a currency, a store value you name it but its best in all the forms. It won't end up bad at all I guess. So I'm pretty confident your speculation does not fit in properly here.

In the third world people are getting blessed with bitcoin because they are having their local currency multiples like anything and they are loving it.

Even in the developed countries due to bitcoin's heavy success this month, the pockets are filled with crazy profits and everyone is going to enjoy the Christmas. There is addiction, yes might be but I believe it is the good one and thats just the passive income source for all of us. Bitcoin will last forever and you will have the great support in your finances with it. So just earn it.

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.

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.

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.

Not sure, I think Bitcoin is like daily food for me, of course this encourages me to get a bit of meat from my job, it's easy when we all here know how to get bitcoin, here's the lucky guy from the people in out there. who does not know what bitcoin is and not everyone knows about it

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.

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.

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 .

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 ..

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

As the sense,Bitcoin is a heroin means that the value of bitcoin is upgrading day by day and the upcoming new era support bitcoin so much valuable as like as a heroin. Who is so much likely to anyone. :)

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.

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.

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

very different if we compare the forbidden thing with no forbidden, addicted here for profit but not everyone can be lucky, very different from heroin let alone gambling ...

about bitcoin is a digital currency can be used for investing as well as transactions. because I believe that everyone who wants to be a part of bitcoin will get rich. This is more a hobby than dependency, bitcoin gives financial freedom

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Yes! bitcoin is addicting, but it is in a good way, the difference of the bitcoin addiction from heroin or cocaine addiction is that in bitcoin you can earn money while in heroin you will only become high and police will get you. Doing heroin on the first place is bad. I don't even know why you compare heroin to bitcoin.

Can't be too sure about that man. Bitcoin is a very risky investment, I'd say as risky as gambling.

Thats a very rhetorical statement.offcourse bitcoin can be addictive like heroin and it  bitcoin gives a very positive, especially in the field of finance in the life of those who trade and invest in it,irrespective of its price volatility

Well, I have postive feedbacks about this addiction. It will make the person become millionaire if he can become addicted with wise decisions with bitcoin, then have a great knowledge on how to manage the money, time and effort because of bitcoin.

Ya bitcoin is like a heroin that can be addictive especially when you are started to income it is very addictive but unlike heroin it is a good influence to others and ofcourse can help our family in financial aspects

Because the price of bitcoin itself makes people addicted, every day bitcoin prices have increased significantly, many people who think investing in bitcoin is very promising for the future.

if I see from some investors who are addicted to bitcoin and are now competing to buy bitcoin to find profits and invest where, and I also include addiction because I wanted to get 1 bitcoin to make me forget the time to look for tokens up to 1 btc and do not know the time for sports so bitcoin can cause heavy addiction especially if we look at current prices

if I think it's true bitcoin can make a person addicted and can forget everything like diminished his sports or activities that are done only inside the house and rarely socialize with the local people because there is ambition to find bitcoin to many that forget the time and everything

Yes, bitcoin is like a rising drug in this world. Well, it is fine because bitcoin really is a thing in this world. Besides bitcoin itself, there still a gambling thing to make it as a drug.

I think bitcoin is not a drug, just like a job that we have to spend a lot of time doing it to get the right rewards, that's why the bitcoin price is increasing. The reward is suitable for those who invest in bitcoin.

Yes well said bitcoin is like heroin cause they arebboth addicting,but in result they are different simply because bitcoin results always positive but heroin results negative..

Yes there is no denying Bitcoin is highly addictive. I'm amazed at how much of my time i've suddenly invested into Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency in general. I'm not complaining though!

The title is NICE, actually i laughed, but it is true! once you gete into bitcoin you dont want to go out and go on to your life with out bitcoin even just satoshis.. the rise of the price and the profit that people having bitcoin, thihs is why they are seeking for more! people are still holding on a fact that 1 bitcoin can buy a house!

Bitcoin is a gamble. Gambling, like use of substances increases dopamine release in our brain also known as the "reward" center. This is one factor that contributes to it being habit-forming and even addicting. Especially when we see that we are gaining something out of it.

I disagree with your opinion if bitcoin is treated with heroin, I think bitcoin is the same as other investment commodities such as gold and stocks and not gambling because price movements similar to fores can be predicted based on market behavior that occurs

I do not think it's the bitcoin itself that makes you hook, but rather the trading, that's why the best is to position yourself and not think about it anymore.

Of course bitcoin is like heroin.. It is addictive but it is helpful too

I don't think bitcoin like heroin, I think bitcoin the bigger from heroin.. bitcoin is something can help you when you have problem especially the financial problem, bitcoin give you new life and new hope for the better future.. if heroin can damaging your body but bitcoin can give you many advantages..

yes i think so and why not !!!! just one year ago its price was low and now its price 5x high. So i think its like heroin because everybody believe in mind that Money is the 2nd God   ;D :D

Bitcoin is really like heroin because with bitcoin you can earn more money and you'll get rich if you just work hard and focus to get ranked up so that you can earn more money. It creates an addiction ofcourse because you spent all of your time in Bitcoin. also it can help people financially, because of its high value.

maybe it's like to heroin because the present time most popular all over the world, it's one kind of addiction also many people is dependent on Bitcoin. but heroin is so expensive and it's just a drag nothing else also no opportunity for legal income with heroin. more then it's injury to health, but Bitcoin is a most popular cryptocurrency this time anyone can make a bright future with Bitcoin.

It has already been proved that in the body and in the human brain there is a change from big money), it can also be said that the drug is in a certain form

Dude bitcoin not make people addiction, the truth is people make theirself addicted to bitcoin. maybe some way they have felt how easy getting money on bitcoin. and they want more and more. it's all depend on each individual how to manage to not get addicted.

Well that is gambling. They will risk it on their own and they will blame no one after losing but themself.

There is no problem with that as long as it doesnt affect your community.

It became easier to do betting now thanks to bitcoin. I think the gambling industry have the larger circulating bitcoin than others.

I can`t say, that Bitcoin is just like heroin, but there is some similarity. The more I work on Bitcoin, the more I want to grow. I can`t explain it. It`s something like gambling, but there is still a big difference. You should count only on your strengths and skills, which is why success is so sweet and you want more.

Many people have been addicted to bitcoin because the benefits of bitcoin can double. I think it's natural, because everyone likes profit, and bitcoin is the answer.

All peoples love money, if there is a thing that makes money grow faster then everyone will like it, with bitcoin our money can grow faster so it makes people like addict.

Call it  what ever name BTC have really aided families to survive and BTC is still pushing ahead,it may not end up as a Hero but as the Actor of the film.Lets watch the movie of bitcoin and feel the grove to the end.

I don't think bitcoin subsequent to heroin, I think bitcoin the greater than before from heroin.. bitcoin is something can minister to you behind you have shackle especially the financial painful, bitcoin assign you auxiliary liveliness and supplementary objective for the enlarged well along.. if heroin can damaging your body but bitcoin can pay for you many advantages.  :)

Indeed. Bitcoin can be like a heroin in a good way that it becomes popular to every users and upon using it, it is undeniable that you are getting addicted on using it to earn an income. Yes it is like a drug that even if it has a positive effect for your life, but still there are present risks in which you can be into. It also have a negative effect on the mind in a way that too much using it can make you greedy on having more money which is bad because the essence of using it as a currency turns out to make people become too much crazy and addicted on the bad way.

You are absolutely right. Its very addicting. I have invested a little, and now a days, due to that dip, I sometimes can't even sleep. Sometimes I wake up during my sleep to check the rates. This trading thing has made me sick. I am thinking of putting my investment still in one alt-coin and let it stay there as long as I need it back, and I hope that it increase its value, that will be some extraa favour !

This is the most beautiful part of bitcoin, its damn addicted for sure. Once you are addicted to it, you are gone for good.

Yes you're true that the bitcoin is like a heroin because everyone love and need a money right? Bitcoin is money but there's a step that your bitcoin will become a cash or local currency and it's easy you just need to convert it and if you have online wallet app like coins.ph or coinsbase and there's a lot of online wallet sre available and trusted hehehe so there's a lot of people like me are so addicted in bitcoin because for me it is the best way to make or earn money

Fuuuuuuck, I know what you mean! I also can't help but watch the exchange rate of the cryptocurrency more than 15 minutes. Sometimes I dream bitcoins! Worse than drugs xD

Hello all! Some similar thing we can notice in this comparing when we talk about money game and heroin addicted people. I think people without the internet access can be aggressive as children's without Internet or smartphone or online games who can  kill theirs parents because they don't allow play in DOTA . Somehow in anything we can find some good or negative sides in everything!

Both gambling and Drug taking is serious addiction, One ruins your health and mental state and other ruins your financial position. Both Cocaine and gambling gives you serious FUN in beginning but at end it just ruins your quality of life. Actually Gambling addiction is kind of serious mental illness where a person may looses everything on just one table without thinking its consequences in life.

This opinion of yours is very true, if once regularly observe the rate of Bitcoin and seeing the growth and you earn profit from that growth by investing, trading then at that Bitcoin is an addictive thing will not least what heroin because you look out you will have profit as if investing in Bitcoin. So investment now in the Bitcoin to the 2018 year earned more profit possible.

You have a great opinion but not everyone could consider it. It is like saying bitcoin is saying bitcoin is a drug. But let's not remove those observable facts that you've said. Bitcoin can make you crazy because of how its value typically rises. This made every user be more dedicated to be in bitcoin. As a matter of fact most of them almost think of living their present job, just like any other who posted a thread about it. But in the end it will all be about those who allow them to take bitcoin as an heroine. Life is a choice.

Way more profitable than heroin.

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.

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.

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.

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. :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes i think , but Heroin did not try . Now this time this currency is so popular every one Know About That. It is a secured Way to Earn. Do Hardwork for Rankup👍

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

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.

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. :)

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.

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.

This was funny :)), maybe is like heroin but on heroin you spend money and with bitcoin you do the other way(earning money). At the end is your choice if you wanna invest or if you don't ofc are some ways to earn it for free.

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.

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.

Yes, that's the truth that bitcoin cases some sort of addiction. It's because of great income  :)

It is true bitcoin is addictive, but it is not glamble, there is a reason make it so pricy

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

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 ....

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.

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.

yes, I think bitcoin like heroin because it makes us addicted to keep getting it and use it but bitcoin has no negative meaning like drugs

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.

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.

dude I think you're projecting here. bitcoin is an idea, a cryptocurrency not fucking heroin! the gambling aspect of trading bitcoin is like heroin if you don't know what you're doing because you're gambling. you have no idea what you're talking about my friend.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

More like meth. Compulsive fiending.

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

Bitcoin can make people addicted if you already know how easy to use and high selling value and easy in can in all countries and world banking.
Thanks #CMIIW

heroin is cheaper

I beg to differ on this point as I believe that blockchain based currency/payment system is a revolutionary thing in the modern world and it has a real sense of democracy, freedom and technological advancements in it so comparing it with the drugs is not a good idea in my opinion. However, things are chaotic at this point and some (probably most of us) are willing to earn gains from it. There is nothing wrong in exploiting the opportunities but there is a huge difference between scientific research based trading and random trading.

I can understand the addiction comparision. Addictions function similarly no matter what they are to. Heroin just happens to pretty much 99% have a bad outcome. At least there's a decent chance at Bitcoin paying off, unless someone really does invest way more than they can afford to at a bad time or doesnt pay attention. I could see that going bad. Anyone know of any deaths from Bitcoin? lol

Couldn't agree more, Not only bitcoin it's cryptocurrency, I am so addicted to it, I neglected all my other online business and at least 10hrs a day I am in front of my pc trading crypto

The point of addiction to Bitcoin is a positive and useful thing. This is the fundamental difference for Bitcoin and Heroin. For me Bitcoin has given so many benefits like Improving the economy in my life. If being an addict then Bitcoin has spurred me to do much better than before, oh yes I also want to always work hard because one thing I think is that I can earn more income when I can take advantage of every opportunity that exists.

For me, bitcoin is like an addiction that is very hard to be removed in my daily system. I always check my investments online whether what time of the day it is. I will continue on engaging towards bitcoin for a long time.

yeah and no sleeping ;D But it may cause the death ::)

It seems like right, it is really becoming an addiction like heroin. You cannot do without checking market every minute.

I also like that is addicted to bitcoin and very difficult to remove because I already feel the benefits of bitcoin itself so there is no reason for me to stop there because I also always want more

In my opinion as based in my situation, Bitcoin is not an addiction of mine but it is a channel that gives me an opportunity to have a part time job as a student to sustain my biological needs, subsistence responsibilities and personal care which makes me determined and motivated to keep going on using Bitcoin. It gives me a lot of benefits unlike "heroine" which contain chemicals that shouldn't be taken by an individual for it is destructive to the human body. As for their legality they are both not legalize but still accepted to different parts of the world. Regardless of the matter, when addiction kicks in it is deleterious.

Its all about Bitcoin.If you know what is bitcoin,you will make it like heroin that make you addicted with it.Eventhought it need more time and work to effort on it,you don't care because you feel it is simple as peanuts.You don't care how much you effort on it .It really like heroin much more .

I dont think that you can compare Bitcoin with drugs. Drugs make you physically addicted. I would say bitcoin is like gambling, it can make you mentally addicted. But that can just happen when your weak in your mind. So you have to stay strong and HODL!

Same here. My family thinks that I lost my mind. Either phone or laptop is always in front of me. Checking the prices all the time. Checking coinmarketcap all the time. It really looks like heroin from addiction point of view.

yeah im agree with your opinion.Im experienced it myself when my family experienced economic distress and I was introduced bitcoin by my friend. and that's when bitcoin become hero in my life by raising my economy.and now i havent some trouble economy now and im glad after i became a bounty hunter now ^^

Some people are really passionate in strange ways, welcome to the cryptocurrency community. This is hilarious!! I LOVE BITCOIN. But seriously, this is one of the maddest communities I've ever been a part of. Here's to the crazy ones!

According to me we can say that its addictive like heroin but it is much better than this. BTC is like a life saver. Many people work on it and earn for there family. Everyone in this world want to earn more and BTC give them opportunities but in other hand heroine is only responsible for destroy our life's. So there is no comparison between heroin and BTC.

Retarded.. more idiotic noob bullshit BTC rhetoric.

It's more like housing derivative bundles from 2007 that crashed the worlds economy and created wide spread inflation and tax payer bail outs.

Or any traditional scam like a Water Filter scam from the 80's or 90's.

If you mean jumping into a digital new ages scam variant for FIAT cash money profits is addictive then yeah i bet.
Morality much assholes ?
Don't sit there and pretend you give a fuck about Bitcoin.
You care about money.. REAL MONEY.

If you don't die from a heart attack in the process, of course. But when you are rich, then you can buy a new heart. There is little that money cannot buy, right? So Bitcoin seems to be a worthy piece of shit after all.

bitcoin is really herocoin because it move some poor to be riches. first coin make all rich if they hold it and trust on it.

hope other coins be silvercoin

Yes, I agree with this. Bitcoin is really addictive to me, it makes me glad to exploit it ... It will be hard to "detox" Bitcoin  ;D ;D

Yeah everyone has own way of thinking and has own planning as some of people love bitcoin to save for long time and some of them are really ion need to spend it. If a person is having positive mind he will use it for good and if a person is not having good thought he must use for bad. For me bitcoin is just a saving and bester future so I am not going to say bitcoin is like heroin because heroin does have very bad effects on human life but bitcoin made life beautiful.

Wow! Exactly my thoughts. It is like gambling and gamblers always lose. I overcame my greed and now been making nice profits since few months.

ha-ha :D ;D ;D it's for sure, they sell apartments, cars, lose friends. This is a terrible disease

yes bitcoin is like a heroin for super greedy folks, they want to invest some ridiculous amount of money and to be millionaires by the next year. Read somewhere last night that many people involved in trading are actually using the borrowed money >can you believe it<. I wan't be surprised to see more homeless people in the coming years. Be wise and rational.

Indeed, it's carching every crypto enthusiast out there. Once you see the potential, it's hard to get rid of it. You will spend all day long thinking how rich you can get.

I agree with what you have said, now we are like in a gamble, we just in order to get better returns from currency, so we invest in the currency in the hope that it can make more money for me

Yes Bitcoin is Queen ♕ /heroine of all others coins. People are growing their egarity in the field of currency and interesting in the site of bitcoin. Every day we use bitcoin for our needs, i buy clothes, shoes and accessories via Bitcoin. I really remember that Bitcoin is valuable currency .

Yes i do agree with you that bitcoin is very addictive that i am so into it and every thing i earn would be converted into an investment.

More than heroin. Bitcoin fever is more than any drug abuse if in case you are able to make consistent profit. You read ,research and do a lot to know more about bitcoins and is hard to desist from it.

Truly BTC resembles a heroin that can be addictive particularly when you are begun to salary it is extremely addictive yet not at all like heroin it is a decent impact to others and of course can help our family in budgetary angles.

This is the interesteng comparison. Bitcoin is in some way like the drugs because of the influence it has on the investor's mind. Bitcoins possible future profit represents the big opportunity for the investor. These two can only be compared with the factor of addiction but the different kind of addiction. Heroin is addicting their users and in the end, they are getting broke physically and financially. Bitcoin is on the other side addicting the investors to the healthy management of their financial possibility to gain profit. There are a few people that are making bad choices and with the fail constant investment that can be compared to the addiction, they are getting ruined. Bitcoin is like heroin but in a positive way like the Ying and Yang.

I differ, Bitcoin is just another investment for me. I never invest my money without doing my homework and I only invest which I can afford losing. No good investor jumps onto anything without proper paperwork, study and a heart to take the risk. Some shit people talk shit about Bitcoin like a drug, like crime money because they either don't know it or lost some bucks for their own foolish actions.

Bitcoin is like gambling, but Bitcoin is better than gambling, because gambling is luck, there is no law, but blind trading, do not need to see credibility, but bitcoin than ordinary gambling needs to reserve more knowledge.

I agree with you btc is realy addictive. You cannot end a day without checking it.
And many people are already addicted to it.

can be said that way, bacause bitcoin can make you addicted and want to use it continuously
but you can't use bitcoin like heroin  ;D ;D

For me it is as aspirin, not heroin  :) it sobers my head and makes me think straighter

I strongly agree with you. Bitcoin is addictive as it makes you think of nothing else especially when you made small money from it. You want to invest more and continue to monitor it so as to gain more.

Ahah yes cryptocurrencies have some aspects as drugs, you need to find a good strategy to put them in your life without stressing too much

It is heroin as long as the prices are sky high, as soon as it crashes. A lot of it's addicts forget it.

Hahaha that comparison is hilarious. However I don´t think that it´s like heroin or gambling. Probably there are many addicted to invest in crypto but it´s just one of many ways to win money.
