Bitcoin Forum

In UK, some hospitals are set up for the rehabilitation of crypto addicted. But I really don't know that if it an addiction. My thought is NO. People want to earn and crypto industry is something like that where close observation is very crucial. And I think this feature cannot tagged anyone crypto addicted. This kind of initiative can make the traders feel low. And I do not support this initiative.
What do you think about this??

LOL ::) I feel sad in their country, Is doing cryptocurrency just to make money  for their own needs is a legal activity enough to be sent in rehab? Is this some irony because Britain's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) sees bitcoin as a "commodity," and therefore does plan to regulate it.

Why people are being sent to rehabitalitation if they see crypto as commodity?

Probably just full of people that bought Bitconnect

Why you mean that as crypto addicted mate. There are people want the money all the time when they are enough rich status already why do you think that this is a addiction over crypto currency.
However currency is the currency to use and purchase the needs and enjoy the life luxurious.
Those kind of new initiative hospitals are meant to crash you ATM card well from you. There is no use of it mate.

Care to share on the link if there are any news regarding about those hospitals for crypto addicted? Seems like this is just a pure troll to me and i dont even think that this would happen. We might have some addiction towards it but it wont really come to a point on where you would really need to be rehabilitated? This is a big joke for me.

Possible, those who loses a lot from their investment with this investment scam, I guess its needed to be rehab to recover their mindset and make new
sets of plans to continue their life, I'm sure no one wanted to be victimized but that's life, in the other hand i'm not sure the real concerned about placing a
rehab for crypto lovers and investors.

LOL, :D it is not necessarily needed to rehab people that get addicted to crypto. people addicted to crypto are people that are believes to become successful someday. if you are telling that some states or country put an rehab organization for all crypto addicts is just you are telling that people that are workaholics are also needs to put in rehab. if we just think, that's there own life. they just want to be successful someday.

i would say nearly everyone is addicted to money in some way. and most cryptto coins are sort of money. But the fact that there is an hospital in the uk which tries to cure this is heavy

When I first read your topic, then honestly I laughed. Probably this is done in order to frighten people from cryptocurrency

As my opinion, Crypto is giving an earnings to everyone so I think this is not good to rehab a people that crypto addicted. Those people that believes and giving an importance for the crypto is just the way of their expressions and they want to be a successful life as doing this for their family.

I don't think crypto can be an addiction. Many people are just taking the opportunity to earn money to be an addition on what they earn on their jobs because crypto can gain you a huge amount of profit. I don't think it's necessary to have rehab because I don't think they are being addicted but instead they are working hard on it as they want to earn money.

Indeed, if you watch the price fluctuations of the whole market too frequently, you may suffer from mental illness.
This is happening not just in the crypto-money market, but also in the stock market, so don't be surprised. ;D

lol i dont think that can cause addiction. You cant just be addicted while looking at the price because they do not provide a happiness or a good feeling. Market charts are only a guide or an indication for us to tell whether it is now the time to sell or not.

However i do somehow agree that cryptos are addicted because we are always eager to earn a profit and there are lots of income oppurtunities in the world of cryptos .for example  One cant just stop joining a bounties and campaigns or maybe airdrops because they are unlimited and verry accesible for everyone.

Addiction or not these rehab centers don't always offer the safe route for people who are seeking help. I know many examples where they haven't really helped they need another tactic as you can shift anybodies opinion and views on anything. As gambling trading crypto can be addicting and an serious addiction if you don't have set of rules to follow you could easily be dragged by your emotions etc.

The same thing I experience here. They hope and say I am addicted to my phone and I told them they may be right about addiction, but I am not addicted to my phone but addicted to monitoring my cryptocurrency which now appears to them as being addicted to phone.

If it is like losing all of their investments and assets through bad trades and scam investments and still continue to do business with them along with borrowing lent assets to the point that they cannot  pay it and they are broke I would say that it is entirely a different case and should not be associated with cryptocurrency since it is an individual issue completly.

Actually if the news is true then it is really sad. But I do not think that here the problem is related to crypto. It is the problem of those investors. If you think about something very much and become worried then it will lead you depression which is the cause of problem. So the problems are with such unlucky investors not with the cryptos.

So the doctors from that hospital diagnosed that when a person is dealt with cryptocurrencies, we are addicted.

They should include that everyone whos into making money or dealt with trading is an addict.

I am just laughing but you know that unless you are a day trader, looking at the price everyday can make one seem like an addict. I don't think there is any need for a rehab for crypto addicts today as most people don't even like the technology to hold. What is driving them nuts is trying to make money in the space and losing the money

In the UK, i don't believe that some hospitals have been established for the rehabilitation of crypto dependence. May be it could be a treat for people with some bad habits about money, example gamble.

Is this really true? if this is then all i can say you can be addicted to almost everything and "too much of something is not good", it'll be unhealthy for you of course. But man, how far would this addict go? are they like throwing money everywhere? purchasing every bit of coin out there? Maybe he's just too rich to invest in everything he think will prosper, or maybe (what you've said), he's really a lunatic.

I don't think this is true haven't heard anything about it, unless you have reliable link to prove your topic. I prefer not to call it an addiction but more of not missing an opportunity, people buy and invest in crypto for they believe that it will change their life someday and to become financially independent.

Likewise, i don't see anything that could justify that this stuff will set a lead in becoming an addiction to those individuals who get involved into crypto. This is just a sort of  fun and at the same time we can earn profit from it so i dont think they need to rehab.

This sounds like another typical case of fake news. There is a lot of black propaganda out there trying to dissuade people from Crypto Currencies so the states and banks can

continue their fiat enslavement of them. Besides, if something is bringing you peerless intellectual enlightenment as well as grand fortunes with no harmful side effects,

you probably wouldn't mind being addicted to it...

In my opinion, this is the problem of the investors. If you think about something very much and become worried then it will lead you to depression which is the cause of the problem. So the problem is with unfortunate investors not with cryptos or they are bankrupt. So it's not entirely a different case and should not be associated with cryptocurrency. That's a matter of just an individual matter.

Some people took cryptocurrency seriously that some are not living in a healthy way. I know a few people who are into crypto who are sleeping less because of cryprocurrency. Physical and mental health always comes first, even though cryptocurrency is profitable.

This made me LOL hard.

It's true that a few useless projects are giving crypto a bad name, also people want to get rich overnight and so fall for these useless projects. Better to invest in a long term useful project like Remme than to go for a scam.

Yes, it's addiction. becoz i am also be a part of addict family. You have to search on google and write AA program. I hope you get any solution and they help you.

Seriously!!! Crypto would be an addiction. I don't think so. It is just a way of earning and a matter of business. So i think and believe doing business can not be a matter of addiction.

What a joke, man! You;ve made my day! Never heard about Rehabs for crypto addicted, but it is a point.
Most of crypto enthusiasts are addicted to crypto and some of them have to reabilitate after big loss in trading for instance.

Damn is this true? Sorry for the citizen of U.K they don't deserve this thing. People of Uk should punish there government by doing this kind of implementation. If you're a crypto addict then what's the problem with that?

Haha, did you see it? The value of a friend's cryptocurrency is this. Traditional economic powers are afraid of cryptocurrencies. So we insist that it must be a victory.

I think if peoples are addicted by drug then they need treatment but if peoples are addicted by bitcoin then it will be beneficial for them. For this reason they can earn money. It’s a advantage for them. So why need rehab?

Investing in crypto cannot be compared as an addiction. Because it is simply a business and it is a very profitable business. And if earing money is an addiction then we all are addicted.

Their practice of this kind made me feel like "Do you want to make money belongs to a kind of mental illness?" I was puzzled by this kind of thing. If these things are true, I have nothing to say!

Haha! This seems to be very interesting. I've seen people who are so involve in crypto currency whenever the price goes down, they start to panic. So, i hope this initiative would be helpful for them

What is that nonsense. realized that it was fashionable and decided to take advantage of

This is so strange, for me it is just a hobby where I can sometimes have also some money =) People can be so greedy that they need cure...

Well, if the investors become so addicted that they leave everything for the cryptocurrency, then this rehab is a good initiative. To be healthy, being mentally healthy is very essential. We need to make a balance in everything while investing on cryptos.

   I read about this second time this weak! Some hospitals started a new trend.
How all that is real is a question, I think this is one more way for taking money
from people who are willing to pay for some kind of rehabilitation.
   If you are crypto-addict just shut down your lap-top, turn of internet and you
are free! It's easy to find something interesting to do, maybe to find some job,
spend more time with close one's, find some activity that you love and spent
time on that. Why to pay when there are free advices and endless possibilities
to make your own personal rehab that suits you.

I also disagree when there is a hospital for crypto addicts because the crypto world is not a drug that can be addicted to everyone, crypto world is a good job for all.

Lol. They can call it whatever they like, but if being addicted to good thing warrants to be called a crypto addict, then I want to be a crypto addict for the rest of my life as long as I am investing and doing my thing smartly. I really do not see anything that warrants that anyway except for some that may be overdoing things and letting that affect their life in general, but it is a choice as far as I am concerned.

This is so ridiculous! Crypto is a investment and busuness platform for all. How can someone be crypto addict? I never heard anything like stock exchange addict till now. Why crypto addict then?. All are just for spreading negativity I think.

It can be just a form of general gambling addiction.
There are some criteria in medicine which are allowed to say whether it's an addiction or not,
but the subject of addiction isn't quite simple.

Really, that's weird for me, now they'd set up a rehab for crypto addict? if its ruining someone's life then maybe they need it, idk, maybe it can help many in UK,

We might have some addiction towards it but it wont really come to a point on where you would really need to be rehabilitated. But sometimes those who loses a lot from their investment, I guess its needed to be rehab to recover their mindset and make new sets of plans to continue their life. But rehab is not only for crypto addicters it is a cure centre of any kind of addiction.

I really don't know that if it an addiction or not. But we all should invest our money in a safe way because those who loses a lot amount from their investment with the help of investment scam, I guess its needed to be rehab to recover their mindset and make new sets of plans to continue their life.

I think the hospital is reserved for people who are depressed because they suffer huge losses, in addition to losing a lot of money, maybe they also lost their lovers, Home and family, I was given advice not to be greedy in the business of cryptocurrency because the risk would be very dangerous.

Lol, for real? I only know about this. You should have attached source from this. How can they treat crypto-investors as crypto-addict and build a rehab for them as if they are like a drug-addict. This has me laughing out loud.Well maybe they do have their own way of treating it but at least they should not rehab them haha.  ;D

It's weird they seems to be treating this as gambling addiction. I don't think the two of them are anything alike.

Maybe they could be treating depression actually, this may be true if someone invests a large sum of money and then looses everything.

If it is addiction for crypto investors, what would you call stock enthusiasts? Stock investors always glue to their mobile or computer screens to check the market. Are not there any hospitals for them to get admitted to for treatment? So I think it is normal for any investors to check their investment. 

I think he is addicted and out of his control that's why he get rehab but I think there are no bad reason when you are addicted at crypto unless you do a bad thing or something different that can cause other irritate.

In my opinion, this is the problem of the investors. If you think about something very much and become worried then it will lead you to depression which is the cause of the problem. So the problem is with unfortunate investors not with cryptos or they are bankrupt. So it's not entirely a different case and should not be associated with cryptocurrency. That's a matter of just an individual matter.

I don’t believe they are crypto addicted, I believe that they are money addicted. They are trying to get on the train of making bulk $$ off the crypto market. Obviously, this is not working. They think that they can just ride the train to make money. They need to do their research and find the best ticket to ride the train.

I do not think crypto can be addictive like the drug. Everyone who invests in the new crypto with The only goal is to make money and making money is the passion of mankind.

Sometimes crypto is related to gambling and sometimes investors who lost money invest more and more money without thinking and they act like they are gambling.
Sometimes is necessary to ask for help.

this is the problem of the investors. If you think about something very much and become worried then it will lead you to depression which is the cause of the problem.

As long as you can control your actions, you probably are not addicted. The addiction means you are not in charge of your brain anymore and you would do anything to not letting others interrupt you while you are doing that particular activity. What can be classified as crypto addiction then? I would say that a person is constantly on the exchange checking the actual price and he does not want to leave it as he would "miss his chance". The most important step for addicted is admitting of problem. It seems like more and more people had some kind of problems and they were looking for professional help. It can be a warning sign for others that nothing is as important as your health (physical or mental). We should be able to say "enough is enough" and turn it off. If no, it might be a start of a neverending problem.

It can have some components of addiction like gambling since the price is very volatile and often random/manipulated...

Then it is more a risky investment or speculation, fundamentals are there (you can argue on the value of one BTC or one ETH but there is some intrinsic value)

This is at the same time silly and a little bit scary, because you understand, that there are people like that, and they were normal, as i am...so maybe I am in danger to became crypto addicted one day? :) 

Oh I never heard for something like this before, this is scary. And yes its hard to accept that really there are some crypto addicts over, that are always in screens watching the price of coins :-\

It may become a serious addiction, I always end up spending more time on this forum that I should. The good thing is that it keeps me updated on most topics.

In my opinion, this is the problem of the investors. If you think about something very much and become worried then it will lead you to depression which is the cause of the problem.

no its about for investors but it is for every crypto enthusiast .

 i am also conviced that cryptos are verry addictive just like a drugs because it does actually give us a happiness in many ways but this kind of addiction is not bad rather it is verry beneficial , so overall i dont think that we need to go to the rehab just because we are addicted or hooked in these so called cryptocurrency. that will also depend on the person if he or she will be affected to his depression whenever they experiencing loosing.

 in my case i can fully control my emotions despite the fact that i am an addictive person on anything not just in crypto.

Could happen to some people, same as gambling.

In my opinion, always thinking about the crypto is a very bad obsession. I hop everbody can understand that, crypto is a good innovation and it is more than just making more profit.

If there are rehab for crypto, all traders will goes to rehabilitation center because they are all addicted in cryptocurrency. Well, I think being an addicted in cryptocurrency will not inflict much to our self and society. In fact, there is nothing wrong to earn cryptocurrency.

There was a time when crypto addiction was becoming a conscious concern, now i think it is more on the lines of depression.

Yes, it's addiction and while you're still on a lot of addiction, you better quit. Personally, I'm already lost to ordinary society and I do it late.

In my opinion, this is the problem of the investors. If you think about something very much and become worried then it will lead you to depression which is the cause of the problem.

What a joke, man! You;ve made my day! Never heard about Rehabs for crypto addicted, but it is a point.
Most of crypto enthusiasts are addicted to crypto and some of them have to reabilitate after big loss in trading for instance.

especially if we see the recent market and it may frustrate many people but I think if we can control our emotion, it will not be a problem because we still have the things that more important in our lives than crypto currency that's why we should not make crypto as a main job so when the market decrease we should not worry too much about our income.

When it comes to a mass of people, it's just statistics. According to it a small number of people can go crazy because of diseases and psychological instability. I guess it's normal! :-X

I think this is a joke, moreover you do not put official links from the UK government. this is ridiculous, because after all how to know someone has been addicted without approach. most crypto investors are not very active in the real world

in my mind, it's like losing all their investments and assets through bad trading and fraudulent investments and still continuing to do business with them along with lending assets lent to the point that they can not pay it and when someone deals with cryptocurrency, we are addicted. They must include that anyone making money or dealing with a trade is an addict.

this is the problem of the investors. If you think about something very much and become worried then it will lead you to depression which is the cause of the problem. So the problem is with unfortunate investors not with cryptos or they are bankrupt. So it's not entirely a different case and should not be associated with cryptocurrency.

You can learn more about crypto when keep reading and updated on the good topics in the forum. There is no news about a person become addicted in crypto maybe the way that they earn perhaps in gaming. But I think there is no problem making addicted on crypto to get rehab because it maybe help you to create your own coin that can be valuable in the market.

Really? is this real? First time I heard about crypto rehab why? I cant imagine even in cryptos there are people who get addicted into it? But how did it happen Is this really bad enough for our health? I really dont understand how to be addicted in crypto lol..    

I agree with you, it's silly to consider it a dependency, it's a normal way to make money, but there's a lot of stress in this job

And where does this information come from? I will not believe it until we see this information from some serious sources.

Dependence on crypto-currency may in fact become a threatening mental health if a person is very worried.

Lol. They can call it whatever they like, yet in the event that being dependent on good thing warrants to be known as a crypto someone who is addicted, at that point I need to be a crypto fanatic for whatever is left of my life as long as I am contributing and doing my thing sagaciously. I truly don't see anything that warrants that at any rate aside from some that might overcompensate things and letting that influence their life when all is said in done, yet it is a decision to the extent I am concerned.

I am so shocked to hear this news, I can hardly believe that in the UK there is a hospital for crypto addicts, a very unique and interesting news, I wonder why people can be addicted to crypto? Is this like a drug?
