This discussion is not about gambling, it is about investing, but I will use gamblers to make an example.

Using gamblers as an example who start out with just the intention to have fun maybe and then along the line turn into addicted gamblers that gambling begin to affect other areas of their life like their wellbeing like they stop spending on some important things just so they can make money available for gambling. Now talking about investing, I think it is possible to become addicted to investing so much that it begins to affect your wellbeing, like the person stops spending on other important things like good food, good clothes etc. just so they can have more money to invest? Do you consider that kind of addiction dangerous and not good?

I think you're refer good food to healthy food, healthy good is a must!

You must eat high portion of vegetable with some carbohydrate and protein to make you feel full.

For good clothes and other unnecessary spending are subjective, someone who have a frugal lifestyle will not care with it. But most people want to buy good clothes to make them happy aka self reward.

Don't forget to mention about medical or health spending, that's important like good food.

Every form of addiction is bad because it affects the human brain. We can all try to differentiate it from all those casino gambling but it is all the same because the aim is to earn more profits and when that is achieved it creates happiness or joy which is transmitted to the brain then when a loss happens it creates sadness and this things are actually bad for one’s health.

If a loss persists the addicted trader goes on to take loans or sell off properties, and deprives themselves of some necessities which would affect there health just to invest more. This is clearly similar to the sport and casino gambling and so it is very bad

I think that's one of the good addictions a people can have. The other examples would be reading books, studying math, learning new languages etc... It is much better to get addicted to investing instead of spending your money on the worthless crap, At least your addiction is about making even more money your assets will make you rich in the future. Tbh I am one of those addicts and I couldn't be happier about it. I invest and in return my investments make me even more money so I can invest even more.  win^win

I get your point Op, to me I don't see such people truly meant for investment rather being stingy of their lives. I have a neighbor in my compound who always saves ^{(We can consider such as an investment)} thinking they are spending much whereby is telling on them that they aren't feeding fine and living good life and putting on good clothes. I tried having a little conversation with them as to know why they put up this savings method, what they said is that, they have a lot of things to do with money and they need to get their own personal property and moved out from a rented appartment to their personal building.
Actually when I came to think about it I noticed their reasons were genuine. But in my conclusion what if making those investment and they ran sick won't those investment be altered, they said depending on the severe level of the illness then they may decides to temper with such investment (savings).

No such thing as good addiction, an activity becomes an addiction when it hinders your function, your obligations and your living and if investing does this to you then nothing good will come out of it. How you spend your money is subjective imo, a book might be a worthless crap to you or someone but for the person that has bought it, it might be a life changing purchase.

It's true that one can be addicted to investing because it's not different form all those things that excite our mind. Investing like any other thing can be the cause of addiction in a human if he/she gains monetary benefits from it. There are thousands of such investors who can't live a day of their life without investing in good things.

Some investors in crypto world have invested in Bitcoin since its early days and are still holding their investment. Some other investors are interested in investing their money into newly released altcoins, because many of those investors believe that the altcoins will 10X their capital.

It's just the addiction and nothing else, in real life those investors are loosing the money in those newly coins and are still investing in such projects. Their addiction makes them to accumulate as many of those newly released coins as their financial condition allows them. And, they dream of becoming rich with such non sense coins that are basically rug-pulls.

Investing in appreciating assets like Bitcoin is a good addition. It is a wise decision to invest in assets those can potentially yield better returns in future with relatively low risk. It can be a wise decision and may have positive impact on your life in the long term. Investing should never be confused with gambling which is associated with high risk, and odds are often stacked against the players. While investing is a long term approach which involves discipline and intensive research and likelihood of achieving  success is quite favorable.

Addiction to investing is indeed good if done correctly, not to harm yourself, let alone make your family miserable.
and addicted to investing with discipline in doing so and consistently with the money that has been provided even in small amounts on a regular basis and not using that money for very important needs, especially for the need to eat healthy food. Because healthy food is very important for a healthy life and also for survival so that activities carried out such as investments and so on go well.
and I don't think you need to be addicted to investing money, and I think we need to have the right approach. Discipline, consistency and patience is something you should have and once you are disciplined in spending, saving and investing it will automatically become a part of your life and start small first.

That reason people should avoid gambling and if they are unable to avoid addiction in the future. Gambling will make you interested in continuing to try because of curiosity and many addicted gamblers that end tragically losing all the property they have. Gambling for fun is another part of gambling addiction and both will end the same when someone is unable to control, even though there are currently many gambling that are easier to reach by anyone.

Addiction in investing is far more relevant and the reason is clear to increase the level of financial improvement, as long as you learn the basic things in every investment you run. For me it's not about addiction in investing, but one must be ready in the decisions taken in an investment and most importantly everyone can adjust and not push themselves in amounts that are not ready to lose.

When investment experience is getting better people can try to increase the amount slightly greater and it will continue to be improved in accordance with the ability in our investment journey. For me investment addiction is not a problem, as long as it can be adjusted to the capabilities of the capital owned.

Depriving yourself of basic essentials like good food and stuff so much that it affects your well-being is counterproductive. What's the use of investing if you'll get sick before you can fully enjoy the fruit of your efforts lol.

A lot of people forget that we can invest in ourselves as well. For instance, if you try to keep your mind and body healthy, the chances of getting sick and paying ridiculous medical fees wouldn't be high.

If there is anything like investment addiction, then I want to be addicted. I want to always reduce wasteful spending and focus on investing. If I can cover the essential things I need in life such as food, shelter, clothing, education, health care, and others, the extra money should be channeled into investment. You don't need to starve or deprive yourself of basic needs because you want to invest. But you can deprive yourself of luxury because of your investment plans. If it is possible not to touch all my campaign income and hold them in bitcoin, I will be very fulfilled. If I am fortunate I can make some good profit that can help me afford some luxury.

Gambling is not bad if it is done modestly and doesn't affect the finance and family of the gambler negatively. But it is far better to invest extra funds in other investment platforms than to risk it in gambling.

There will be no one who becomes addicted to investing, what is more appropriate is that the person becomes so strict in the investments he makes, prioritizing investing rather than fulfilling his life's desires, and is there anyone whose life is worse because of investing? I don't think so, instead investing will provide opportunities for people who do it to get a better life in the future, which is why investing is always recommended.
And comparing addiction to gambling with investing is not the right thing because both have different effects on people who do it.

Getting addicted to investing is good though no matter what but I don't think or it happens very rare that someone skips a meal for everyday so they can use it to invest and get returns in the future. We are living in an era where most people don't even get the concept of savings so we can lead better life at the older age, we just live the moment and ready to spend any amount of money for short term pleasure.

And why we are pointing out gamblers for everything when it comes to a topic related to addiction? There are many casual gamblers who are actually gambling for fun and just move to their day to day task when they have to so I don't really prefer to connect addiction and gambling all the time.

I am of the same opinion that investing is not an addiction but a necessity towards a better life in the future, there are even people who are forced to invest and they postpone their pleasure in order to grow what has been built in the investment to become even bigger, sometimes they are willing not buy valuables and reduce the excessive lifestyle as well as this can be well-disciplined that investment is far more important than desires that have no benefits.

I know that everyone has different tastes in running it, but now it has become commonplace that investment is important in any case, and I agree that investment will not make things worse because they certainly see from the financial side what they get.

So the comparison between addiction and gambling and investing is clearly different, gambling is a game that must be played to become addicted but the risk is bigger than investing which is only thought to be boring because you have to wait longer, but the results are quite satisfying in the future.

Of course it is not healthy. Usually in gambling, a person tends to get invested more in gambling when they experienced winning, thinking that they would win again. I think it's the same for investment. When a person got lucky with their investment, they will be excited and greed comes in that they will keep investing for the same thought... Thinking that they'll get a good result again. The common thing about gambling and investing is the risk and the profit they could get. So if a person addicted to gambling isn't good, how come someone addicted to investment be good? There is no wrong with investing and knowing your limit, but addiction means it's hard for you to stop yourself. If your urge to invest affects your life negatively then it's not good.

I think describing and using the word addiction in investing is sort of giving negative connotation. Maybe being obsessed I think is kind of neutral but then, we all have the same thought of someone who's into gambling addiction and investing addiction.

In terms of investing and someone is too addicted on it, he sure has a lot of money to invest with. And that's a better way of using his money in the right way rather than spending it to unimportant things.

This is delayed gratification and everyone should practice it.

It's a relatively fresh concept to me, but it holds immense positivity. Investing is a constructive practice that carries the potential to shape our future. The wealthiest people in the world engage in both investments and business ventures. Those who are addicted to investing do not merely spend money; rather, they acquire a burning desire to learn everything about investments. This passion, in turn, yields positive outcomes for their financial situation.

It seems that individuals can get hooked on investing, regardless of their financial circumstances. It's like the way one spends on clothes or items, or how someone can become addicted to gambling. While it's normal to indulge in negative habits that offer temporary pleasure, being addicted to investing is the next level and should be viewed as an opportunity to become successful.

yes some people may get stuck in this I mean more inclined to spend or use their money to invest it.
I have also experienced this, but is that wrong, for example, every profit I get, I allocate 80% to be played back, the rest is used for my needs.

I'll talk about "living in the moment" again. Live here and now. Passion for accumulation without a goal is madness. Money must always work. There are profits; you need to put this profit into business, and so on. Depriving yourself of the joys of life and saving on everything will one day lead to the thought that life has passed, and it is too late to want something. But those people who think that their happiness will come "later" apparently do not know what will happen to them tomorrow. And this "tomorrow" may not happen. It is extremely pitiful when the moment comes that a person understands and regrets that life is given only once and that all the money cannot be accumulated and earned.

It is not wrong to reinvest 80% of your profit. In fact it is a good strategy known as compounding. This way you can grow your wealth overtime at a faster pace. It is also important to have a well defined  plan for your investment with clear goals, keeping in view your financial responsibilities, limits and risk tolerance.

Before investing, prioritize your financial needs and responsibilities, such as paying bills of electricity, gas and saving for emergencies. When we follow a systemic approach, we can make most of our investment, while ensuring financial stability.  

Addiction is bad. No matter what you are addicted to, be it a good thing or a bad thing. Excess of everything is bad. Drinking alcohol is not bad but being addicted to it is the bad part.
Investing is good, but when you get addicted to it and use every little money you have for investment to the extent it begins to affect your well-being and health, then that's not healthy.
I have never met someone who is addicted to investing but I believe an investment addiction will lead you to a lot of scam investments because you will be enticed with every single investment scheme that comes your way, legit or not.

While reading your post, I'm kind of thinking "getting addicted into investing is good because it's like you are preparing for the future if you're investing" right? On the other hand, I'm also thinking that "Is there any addiction that is beneficial to a person?"

Getting addicted into investing is good as long as you aren't affecting somebody's life. Getting addicted into investing will only be good if you aren't a newbie, and you know which assets are good to invest and which are the ones you need to avoid. Investing addiction will only be good if you aren't affected either physically or mentally. Getting addicted into investing will only be good if you aren't preventing yourself from buying things that you need on a daily basis thus, it isn't good for you. Overall, getting addicted into investing has some things that you need to consider in order for it to be beneficial for the investor.

I guess this is the only type of addiction that has benefits to a person? Or not? :D TBH, it's the first time that I've ever heard about this term. :D

Addiction to gambling is very bad and there’s no reason to compliment the addiction to gambling as it leads to total waste of time, money and valuable life you would have earned for yourself.


Even though too much of everything is bad, in some cases it is not the same. Through money investment, many people have made it big in life. But the disadvantage of investing money is you not having to gain any profit from it and you still went ahead to invest again and again when you clearly do not know if a profitable income is guaranteed anytime soon or in the future. When you don’t change your investment strategy or plan even as you keep losing because of your addiction to it, it’ll only lead to waste of time, money and valuable life you would have used the money for instead for an earlier time.

It would be reckless to be addicted to investing if there's anything as such. Anyone who is addicted to investing is either doing so through the help of a guide or  has no emotional control. Or should we call it impulsive investing.

Even when you watch shark tank you'd have observed that there are a lot of great pitches but the judges don't just invest. They invest when it is profitable for them not even for business.

Addiction is addiction, everything that is too much is always be bad for our health. It's like being to greedy to gain more money that he became addicted to it. Of course it could impact not only the health of the investor, but also it's relationship to his family. Imagine being too focused in making money not knowing you're kids are growing up and too distanced to their parents.

That's only one, I also agreed to health and clothes etc. It's like he'll be too cautious to spend as he always invest his money which is not good. Investing is a good thing that people could study and learn but always know your limit.

For a variety of reasons, investing can be an addictive practice. One of the most important factors is the possibility for high profits. The potential for increased financial gain through investing can be highly enticing and inspiring. Additionally, investment can provide one a feeling of empowerment and control over one's financial future. It can also become compulsive to chase after the next best investing opportunity or to try to outperform the market. Additionally, group or family pressure to invest socially can cause FOMO, a compulsive emotion that promotes addictive behavior. Investing can also cause the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that makes us feel good, which can lead to a psychological high and support addictive behavior. It is essential to invest responsibly and seek help if investing behavior becomes addictive or compulsive.

many investors are addicted to investing because they often get profits, but they can still manage finances to spend their daily needs, especially basic needs that are impossible for us to limit and we can bear to spend, and I think this is very dangerous if we only focus on investing, but to spend on non-essential needs and we prefer to invest. I think this is a very good decision, because investing is our future asset, even though not all of our investments will always be profitable.

Not for the extent to allow other aspect to healthy living to suffer. Things is suppose to be in moderate and if not that it is addiction when you do everything to invest in particular thing and not balance others. Investing to increase your financial capacity but failing to dress well, eat healthy, take care of family financial challenges is not best.


Yes it is bad if you known as investor but you can't take care of well being. Depending on how long in investment, capital and liquidity flow as a new investor but old investor with circulating liquidity should balance other areas of his life.

Absolutely yes, addiction to investing will ruin one's life as gambling can ruin, it because investing does not bring profits always as like gambling. Proper research is needed and if you are just doing that research only the first time and ignoring it the second time then you could face loss or consequences as an addicted gambler.

For example, my uncle planted G1 Garlic in the previous year and made around 6x profit out of it and this year he already started to face loss, why? because he adopted the same methods and knowledge that he used before and didn't update it with the change of time and environment and garlic started to dry out due to less water. The point is, investing all the time will not bring profits and it can leave the same result as gambling did.

Once you started to make profits either it's due to investing or gambling you will become greedy and start to invest more, for example, one of my friends once told me a story, about how he invested money in tokens (early tokens like maybe it was pre-sale) He was contacted by team on Telegram he bought the real token for $100 dollars and then he thought he is making profits out of it as he could sell them for more, he sent an extra $300 dollars and his tokens never came to him and token also flops (as backed by scammers). Such investments always bring losses and regrets.

We should control on our greed if we want to live a happy life, my society is full of such examples because there are fewer gamblers and more investors here.

I consider investing as a gambling since you are risking your money. I understand what you mean about it is not a gambling and what you mean about gambling (casino games) but investing is also gambling. This is the first time I hear about someone said investing addiction and I agree with boyptc that obsessed is much more better if you say that you are not addicted in investing. About your question if it is dangerous, yes it would be dangerous too if it will make you spend less money on important things just to have more money to invest. This is much the same as gambling in casino but the difference is that you may lose all your money on casinos if you don't stop unlike in investment where you may get some of your money like I did when I invested on stock price but the amount is less since the stock price didn't increase at that time, this is also happen in holding BTC.

This is definitely true and can be applied to many activities in life. Everything is ok in moderation but when you start becoming obsessed with it or taking it to extremes, like being overly frugal, it is a bad sign. Not only that but life is for living - while money can bring you comfort and freedom, what does it really matter if you are old and too frail to have fun with your vast accumulated wealth as you pinched the pennies throughout your whole life. You need to find a fair balance and can do this with strategy, you might set a certain amount of your salary to "fun money" for example and you should avoid spending that on investing activities. Recognizing you have a problem is half the battle, especially when you're doing something that many people would see is productive and good for wealth accumulation.

Get addicted to anything that will not allow you to take proper care of your health, I will definitely say is not a good idea, either is gambling or investing in something that may bring you future fortune, sofar it will turn you away from good health I will say is bad.if get addicted to investing and you cannot take proper care of yourself, what is the reason behind your investments, is it not because of you to get enough funds to solve your problems?infact I don't know reason why someone willing planning that future that he/she is not assure off and he/she will be suffering himself /herself at the current situation.

People can get addicted to anything as long as they enjoy the activity, this is why we have people addicted to video games, gambling, social media and even exercising, so it would not be rare to see someone getting addicted to investing, and the treatment is the same for every single one of those addicitons, and about whether or not is dangerous, of course it is, as by definition this means this person is not giving the necessary attention to other aspects of their life which are even more important, like the relationship they have with their family and friend or even their own health.

Everything that is off on the balance is considered to be bad already and since we've been talking about having no priority or already neglecting those kind of needs and necessities then this one really shows up
that you are already doing it, yes investing is really that indeed good but since you are already cutting the amount which are bound to be used on food,clothes and other important thing then its considered bad.
We know that investing doesnt always end up on positive which means that you do still have the risks on losing it which means that everything would be turning out to be useless.
COme to think that risks is always there and this is why we should really be mindful on our actions.

When you do have plans about making your life more better in terms of finances then its good but you should also be mindful that everything should be in balance.
You cant just pour up everything on investment and trying out to ignore and forget on what are the other good things which you should
supposed to be thinking off also.

Getting addicted to anything that will not allow you to take proper care of your health, I will personally say is not a good idea, either is gambling or investing, or anything or something that may bring you future fortune, suffer it will turn you away from good health I will say is bad. Not for the extent to allow other aspect to healthy living to suffer. But many investors are addicted to investing because they often get profits, but they can still manage finances to spend their daily needs,  this is also happen in holding BTC.

I'm not sure that investing can be transformed into a painful addiction ...

Painful addiction is usually a periodically repeated process of some kind of action.  For example, a gambler plays in the casino every day, an alcoholic drinks whiskey every day, a drug addict takes drugs every day ....

An investor invests once a year (perhaps once a month).  The rest of the time he goes about his usual business.  This is not enough to form a painful addiction.  In my opinion, trading is more addictive than investing.  

Because trading is an iterative process.

Absolutely yes
I consider this type of addiction extremely very dangerous and for what reason am I investing if I can't eat good food
I mean very good food
What is the essence of having millions of money in investment and I can't boost of good and healthy food or even look good, that's arrant rubbish and most people now will say we're saving for the future, .a future you're not even certain of and maybe if you have next of kin to this savings, what guaranty do you have that your next of kin will make judicious use of your hard earned investments to your glory while you're gone!
Mehhh there is no reason for investing if I can't eat good food or live a healthy life.
Period.

Good point LogitechMouse, is there indeed any addiction which is beneficial to us?
Probably not.

Getting addicted to investing contradicts the teaching that we shouldnt invest more
than we can afford to lose.

On the other hand its easy to see how someone could get addicted to Bitcoin investing
when the benefits of Bitcoin itself are examined - it kind of seems like a no-brainer...
so long as it doesnt cause other negative consequences financially

As long as it’s abusive on your part, then definitely that will never contribute on your well being. However, if you only save on your spare money and those that are not intended to pay your bills or to buy you your necessities in life, then for me it’s a good habit, to save so you can invest in the future. Everything that you do that will change your life positively, I think that’s always worth doing so.

But not into a certain extent on where you have neglected out those basic necessities or important things which it would really be affecting your physically and emotionally on which you shouldnt
really be making yourself to reach up into this point. Investing addiction is somewhat really on the good side considering that you are investing for the future but we know and just like said
by others that investments arent precisely or giving out guarantees of success which means that you do need to consider out again first about these probabilities.

Not paying up bills, cutting off your food expense? You are really that putting yourself at trouble. Once things that been neglected out then it would be molding up for another problem.
Once you do get sick because of non sufficient nutrition because you've been saving up for investment then once your body comes ill then you would really be just spending for hospitalization
which means that it would really be no sense on putting up too much focus on one side. Always be having that balance approach.

It would be a lot easier if everything is made in moderation. Though of course I understand that your 'passion' currently is burning, it will also be a a hard feat for you to chase all of the losses you might incur in a lot of your investments. Take it easy, learn to read and wait before making another position. In the long run, it will be the most profitable thing you will be doing as it will lessen your positions, lessening your risks, and limiting the amount of $$$ you can loss.

Slow it down, pick a few coins, and get familiar with their markets. That's what I am doing currently and I'm posting good gains. Not double digit gains per week, but still something significant.

Maybe there are similar people who gets much addicted to investment. These kind of person needs to be given good counseling, only then they can be brought out of such situation. Because the continued investment could bring profit, atleast they can withdraw the profit and spend on good. These people never have such mentality, they go for further investment. For this reason, they'll have money in the table to eat, such situation needs to be avoided. Life needs to be enjoyed and anything beyond the limit is harmful for sure.

For me Investing is not Addiction. A person whose goal is to have a good profit that will leads to a comfortable life, he will do trading / investing.
If a person showed greediness and he would continue to invest even if he borrows money that will leads to high debt and later on loosing all his asset, I think that is addiction. We should not be so greedy to earn a huge profit that we may not even know that we are already loosing so much. A greedy person would continue to gamble until he does not recover from his losses. 

Well addiction from the word itself is already a negative even if it is done correctly. Addiction to investment is kinda concerning if I heard any stories (even fictional) since it means you're kind of continuous in throwing away your money and that's not even a good thing even if you're knowledgeable to investment. It's almost not that different to any forms of gambling known to man.

Even with such discipline, you're just asking for homelessness and debts if you're addicted to investment. I guess passionate is the best word to describe a well-balanced enthusiasm with these.

It's just like drinking moderately to avoid being drunk 24/7. :D
There would times of being burned out from these passions regardless of the hobby you're in. This is just like me when I was learning software engineering.

It depends. Investing is always beneficial because it means you want to gain something to secure your future. However there should be a limit since anything beyond your control is obviously not good. Example, you're already spending the money that you can't afford to lose or you are investing in just anything even you don't have knowledge about it and you just want to take risk, certainly that's not right.

On the other side, if you're seeing a good result in your investment and you're not just blindly investing since you have knowledge of what you are getting into and aware of the risk then IMO it's fine. But learn to balance everything because there's always a disadvantage if you're investing too much.

It depends on this addiction to investing if it negatively affects the investor.
One investor is so addicted to investing that he massively put a ton of money into an altcoin that didn't rise up to his expectation and he lost the money in the end holding the tokens that weren't even listed to an exchange.

If he invests however in altcoins that rise up every time and profit every time, I guess that's not addiction.  ;D

I never seen people that got addicted to investing but if there is one for sure he will get rich because there will be time that his investment will got a lot of profit, this isnt also comparable to gambling as it is only about spending and if you will win there are only small chance on it whereas on investment you'll always have a high chance to gain profit. It doesn't matter if youll spending a lot on your investment since for sure it will get back to you

To me, so-called addiction is not a good thing, whether it is an investment or when you are so passionate about your work that you neglect other things. Of course, investing is about making money to have a better life, but investing doesn't always win, and if you use all your living, savings, and child support... to invest, that's very bad. It not only affects your life but also affects many of your loved ones, so it is an extremely dangerous thing. Don't make yourself an addict in any field, addiction is never a good thing.

I suppose addiction means going beyond the normal or moderate ways of doing things. It means you are losing control of your urges. If that's so, that should definitely be bad.

There are a number of people I personally know who have more than enough money but stingy enough to spend on basic things such as food and clothing. They have investments; they have savings in the bank; they have businesses, but they don't spend much on things that don't give them ROI.

Here in my country, people with Chinese roots are usually businessmen. And it has become a sort of a widely perceived behavior that they don't spend much on things that don't earn. And if they can still earn on something, they will have to earn from it. They become a subject of jokes because of this. There was one which speaks of 3 different persons stuck somewhere where is no food to eat. When they got very hungry, they started catching flies just to have something to eat. The other two noticed that one didn't eat what he caught. He was of Chinese blood. When they ran out of flies to catch, the Chinese took out the flies that he gathered and sold them to the two. LOL!

OP may have confused investing with gambling, in essence are we (participants) really getting it right, coincidentally I realized the fact that the majority of people who come to economic investment markets do not really have knowledge of economics. They are unskilled workers, office workers, farmers, doctors, teachers, ... simply the attraction they heard from rumors about looking to it as a trust for the leader. And they're gambling with that blind faith in an environment that's tougher than gambling, bringing investment terminology and concepts to make themselves look like real, real investors. funny but it's a fact that many people are not willing to accept.

Yes, if like you said (if you compare it with gambling). But, for me, it's so much different. Gambling is something we can't calculate right and exactly, and because of that Investing is not the same as gambling. In investing, we can research and find the company behind and put the money with sure if in future our investing be multiple like we invest in Apple, Microsoft or others. In gambling, we just play luck, I never find any investor to be millionaires by just play slot or bet of sport. Except if he invest in gambling company.

I think this is called banging. In some way, investment is gambling because you don't know for sure that you will earn money from it but you hope for it. I think this fact gives you a drive to invest more and more because you expect gains and every time you lose money because of the best investment, you try to compensate for the lost money with new investments.

So I think comparing it with gambling is pretty solid. I even think everything that involves risk and money could be called gambling.

As someone who loves to invest and even I'm not that yet there at the top, I know that this is one way to get to the top. It's an obsession that's hard to be changed and it's truly different from being addicted.

Well, we may have different meaning to what addiction and obsession is but that's what I just think which is a better thing to hear than being called as an addicted investor.

We can't change the thoughts of most people thinking about negative upon hearing the word, addiction.

Addiction is not good but I think maybe investing addiction is a good thing, especially if he can find things that can be used as investments, such as investing in bitcoin, gold, real-estate and others. He can buy bitcoins and other investments whenever he has money so his investment amount will increase and give him a chance to earn profit.

But before someone starts investing, he should know how much money he can use and calculate all expenses and remaining money so that when he starts investing, it won't interfere with other money. But he also doesn't need to force himself to start investing if there are some things he needs to fulfill with his money because he has to prioritize his life first and then invest.

And investing is not gambling unless he doesn't know what he should choose to invest, how much money he can use, how long he should invest and when he can take the profit. Investing requires calculation before starting and only a few people can do it.

Investment is not like gambling as in gambling you don't know about the gains and consequences of your bet but investment in real sense is very different.  Before investing you look into all the details of your investment and you have an idea of how many profits you can get out of it.

OP, I'm not sure how many people have the kind of 'addiction' you referenced, but I know for a fact that it's a real phenomenon because I've been afflicted with it myself--not with crypto, but in the stock market.  I wouldn't consider it a true addiction, though.  More of an obsession that might leave a person having to sell whatever it is they invested in (and this is assuming the problem isn't trading with leverage, because that could leave said person wiped out).

Fortunately for me, that stock market obsession has kind of fizzled out over the years, and I no longer invest irresponsibly.  Lucky me, eh?  If I weren't already broke, it'd probably come back again, full-force.

Basically what is said addiction is not good when this addiction is followed by ambition that is not significant good and gives good hope, but if we say addiction to Investing in Crypto I don't think there is anything wrong when they invest in the right place and with Perfect ambition, I think this will give them success in the future, so investment placement in the most appropriate place I think everyone knows, and yes of course Bitcoin.

It's simple, all you have to do is answer whether the flow of the investment system refers to positive or negative points?

Actually this is not something that is quite new and has a broad essence of discussion. Not too many points taken other than investment points towards where the person has exercised the appropriate option. Dare to invest for long term interests. Actually this is not an addictive stimulus, but the action of someone who has found the right portion of financial management, namely investment.

As far as I know addicted has a broad meaning, not just being fat on one issue, indeed, by definition, addicted is always maladaptive with the economy or the rewards and benefits that each individual feels.

But if I define crypto investing, in my opinion it is not one of behavior or actions that lose control, investment is not based on hobbies, hobbies, fun and so on, In fact, investing is more directed towards full control over the consequences and risks that occur, the understanding of gambling, addiction to investing, in my opinion, is the opposite, When it comes to investing, people still think clearly in their actions, whereas gambling rarely makes people think clearly, especially if they are already addicted.
Example:
For now we can still think well to set aside as our economic income to invest in futures, controlled, regardless we still eat well, dress lavishly etc.

Any form of addiction could have a negative effect in our lives but as for me, getting addicted to investing is actually having the urge to prepare for our future in terms of finances. Compared to gambling addiction, being into investment is actually a good habit though it still has a risk but if we are investing in the right and potential projects, our sacrifices will still be worth it in the future.
Investing is actually beneficial since we could gain a good profit when the right time comes but we should still know our limits and just invest the funds that we could only afford to lose.

I don't think there is anything like investing addiction, investing addiction only applies when one repeatedly invests without ever seeing any returns. As long as profits are being made, investing should not be considered an addiction. Take the venture capitalists in the crypto space for example, it's difficult to find a new project with a solid background that they won't invest in. They pour all their money into start-ups in hopes of creating something valuable during the bull run, this is what they do, investing runs through their blood and this is not only in crypto, it happens in other places.

On the time that addiction turns out to be already that some sort of gambling addiction into your investing decision then this is where shit happens. You shouldnt really be making yourself that getting desperate on whatever you've been doing. Everything should be in balance but ofcourse there are really things which we are really that extremely dedicated on the sense that we are really that keeping on doing it
even it do crosses the line already.

Any addiction is leading into doing something into a certain degree where it is really that too much or something we called off balanced already which we know that it could potentially be compromising other things or
responsibilities which you would be still need to do so. When you are in an addiction whether on an investment or gambling, then of course the behavior would really be just the same.Although money making opportunities are really that different because we arent that dumb on not to distinguish in between investment and gambling in the first place. I do consider out investment addiction but of course
you should be still mindful about those important things around.

I can only say it’s a good addiction unless you’re not depriving yourself from eating healthy foods and buying yourself some basic needs that your body needs it. But definitely its a lot better than becoming addicted to gambling. At least, when you develop addiction in investing, you will do a lot of saving because you have a certain goal to fulfill in the future. And through investing like bitcoin, your money will generate more income that will pave way into achieving your goals in life.

Always take some money off the board, pay off bills and any long term debt.  That would be the easiest way to distance yourself from any extreme risk that could flip too easily from positive to negative.
   People mix up speculating, trading and investing because investing is like doing your homework and planting a seed for what will become a fully grown return over years its not a fast fix or result that would be compared to gambling normally.  The modern world we live in has mixed up these things so that investment is labelled onto things like crypto speculation or similar which are not really close to that slow steady consideration.

Hey buddy, I think you are confusing investing with trading. You can't get addicted to investing because it takes a lot of capital to invest, and you can't be investing every day. Even if you have a high income, say $200K in the US, the normal thing is that you invest if you do it in Bitcoin or in the stock market, a few thousand dollars a month, but once a month, or two at most.

On the other hand, with short term trading that tries to buy and sell hoping to know if the price is going to go up or down, we can talk about addiction similar to those who are addicted to gambling.


With short-term trading, rather, as I have just explained, which especially for retail investors with little knowledge and a lot of impulsivity is very similar to gambling.

I agree with your point. There just might be people out there who are a bit obsessed with the idea of investing. Always on the lookout for the next big thing probably so they could invest early and get maximum returns. And this crave would most likely lead the obsessed investor into investing in a so called new and promising investment scheme that would turn out to be a scammy one. Scammy investment opportunities are usually very enticing and appealing to anyone who might be interested in making a shit load of profit overnight.

All kinds of addiction is not good, if you are addicted it means you cant control your self emption on that particular thing or activities and it leads you to be loss, if you are a gamblers you will not save a money because if you win today you will save your earning and you will make it a capital in the next game and if you will loss you're capital money and your winnings will loss at the same time.

Too much of everything I called addiction. And when you are addicted it does not matter were you addicted, but once it is addiction, it is bad. I understand your ideology very well. There are people who are addicted to investment. And it is very bad. This set of people may have little or nothing in their emergency fund. They may not have good health care facility and plans for the family, yet all their mindset is in investment. And they could not even in their lifee enjoy those investments they made, but they keep investing for the future. If I may ask, when is the future?

It is not bad to invest, but do everything in moderation and take care of yourself at the immediate time.

Your words are absolutely right, investors invest to earn good money.  There are many investors who prefer to invest all their money.There is no shortage of people with these tendencies in trading sectors.  I know many friends who invest without spending money on themselves. We get more motivated when we see a small investment yielding a lot of profit.This is how we become addicted to time investing.  Many people think of investing as a gamble. That is why they avoid their necessary expenses and they think that investing will increase the amount of profit.

Regarding your post. I think it is important to make a clear distintion on gambling and investing.
Investor do not go out their way to put their money in a company and considering the possibility of losing the one hundred percent of their money, those who do are gamblers. Investors can cut losses.

The only thing we can consider if we talk about people over investing and saving as much money as possible to continue investing is greed and ambition. Gambling also mess with the greed of people but not much the ambition. In my personal opinion.

Going to a casino and expecting to earn a lot of money is greed and delusion. Not spending so one can buy more Amazon stocks during a dip and even selling one's car to buy more in the dip is greed and ambition.

The wellbeing of an adicted gambler must definately be affected negatively because what causes the addiction is either he is chasing looses or   seeking closure.
In the aspect of investment, the addiction of the investment should not affect your wellbeing. Any investment yeilds profit, a business owner who dont eat good food or wear good cloths is being stingy to him self. As an investor you have to be phyaically and mentally strong.
In gambling, the addiction affects your wellbeing negatively while in business or investment the addiction affects you positively.
Any investment that you want to invest in that will make you not to eat good food is not a good investment.

I never thought someone can be addicted to investing, that sounds really strange.
Although I feel this is possible since it all has to do with our desire and greed.
Just like gambling, investing on projects requires lots of money otherwise there is hardly anything you can do when there is no funds to invest.
Between gambling and investing addiction, I believe gambling is the most addictive in nature which is not good for the health

Well, you are right that gambling is way different than investing but, to be honest, you can only have an estimate for the profits that you can get from an investment and there can't be a specific amount or an exact target if you are trading cryptocurrencies, you can set a sell target and decide how much profit you want but no one always does that.

And, OP actually used gambling as an example to explain that sometimes you can get so obsessed with investing in a particular sector like cryptocurrencies that it is almost like an addiction that one can have in gambling which makes them wanna keep gambling no matter what.

It becomes abnormal if you are addicted to investing to the detriment of your well-being. To everything in life, there is a limit and if care is not taken after this it will lead to abuse. Having investment sense is good because you know you have a better future but it should be at a percentage.

I think that using the term "addiction" to describe investment habits is not appropriate. We usually refer to the concept of addiction for every repeated behavior that causes harm, such as alcoholism, gambling, or even shopping. In investing, there are several strategies that the investor can choose one or some of them according to the types of investments that he makes. And if these investments achieve returns, then addiction becomes a healthy matter.
In very special cases, the investment lover may be neglecting the rest of his life, or he may not find time to do other tasks. In these cases, medical intervention is definitely required.

I would rather prefer having an investor addiction than having a gambling addiction which can be very risky if we don't know what we are doing. Those who have investing addiction are more likely to succeed in the future than those that prefer going into gambling.
 Those of the big billionaires and millionaires we know today are always investing there funds for the future so that they can earn money as an investor that been a spender. Investing could contribute to fast success if we know what we are doing and if we are investing our funds in the right place that would not vabish after sometime.

Why sacrifice good food and buy clothes when you Investing, well-being is not only measured at the level of eating and buying clothes, but well-being has a meaning according to your ability to spend money on something you need. Addiction in a positive sense I think is good and when people feel addicted to investing, then that means they have an awareness of financial considerations and stability that are much more focused.

Investing in bitcoins will bring us closer to the stage of financial consummation, regardless of how much capital they are ready to invest. To define addiction, I don't think it's all negative, as long as people understand the level of risk in their decision making and most importantly they don't push beyond their means.

If the reason addiction is not eating good food and not buying nice clothes and you prefer investing is completely harmless? Precisely what you do is much more useful and more optimal decisions that are taken.

Haha it's a good thing however can turn into dangerous addiction as well. Dangerous because, investment is done for the purpose of getting some amount saved for a rainy day or for some goal to fulfill in future. But if you stop materializing your goals and just keep on saving the money for even more future, in a way that, it's almost impossible to enjoy that money, this is dangerous. All you'll think of is growing money without fulfilling your desires using that money.

It's possible to become addicted on anything if that people finds the stuff they are doing are good for themselves and they could get benefit from it, even though in other people eyes it's really bad to overdo stuff that leads to  an addiction. Addiction is always a bad thing if they can't control it, just like you said if they neglect the needs of daily stuff like food just for the trading/investment and then they are doing something wrong. It's never a healthy way to invest like that, it just make them worse and if they fail because of that, I don't know what would happen next.

This is why you should only invest with your extra money, and not go all in.
I have a friend who invested a lot with Bitcoin and other project, and when the bear market begins his well being becomes more affected, it started from anxiety, depression and now he’s under therapy.

Investing addiction is good once you know what you are doing, especially you know how to balance your life and your finances. Don’t let your greed to take over your body and your mind, you have to stay composed and of course know how to diversify.

You are quite fluent in explaining the points in the discussion that will be presented. I agree with you, even the main point for achieving success for the future is investing early and making savings in inappropriate waste, for example buying a sophisticated cell phone or other things where the money we can use to invest for our future.

There are many ways to apply investment addiction to our hearts. The first is the belief to stop spending a lot of money in a context that is not meaningful for our future.  And the second is support from the family to make savings in an effort to make an investment.

This reminds of a story of an English tutor, who reportedly saved a greater percentage of this salary annually all because he had a dream of traveling overseas. He got so used to saving that he stopped buying any new thing for himself. He swore how hard it was for him initially until he had saved up enough to buy a plane ticket.
This story was aired on TV back then, and I could see the smile on his face when he was being interviewed by a journalist who got very facinated with his seriousness.
I would love such kind of addiction as it would help me become a billionaire quicker than I can predict.
Unless one is single, without family or relations who are dependent on you, own your own apartment or squat with someone who doesn't bother you for rentage, it would be quite difficult to be addicted to investment.
The inflation these days is so high, that one would require more than one stream of income inorder to become addicted to investing.

Interesting to see that even addiction can be put into a good use but it still has some effects so we should try to limit it. I agree that this story is easy to do if you are living alone and you have no prior duty or responsibilities to your family. Inflation is increasing and our purchasing power is decreasing, yet the wages are still the same making it not sustainable enough today. You really need to put a lot of effort to hustle other jobs just to get more income. My point here is that addiction to something is not good even though it is just a mere investment since we should never leave ourselves behind like our health, so never compromise it. You might achieve the money that you need but if you do not take care of yourself, all those will just be used in bills.

Having an investment plan is good, but I think investment addiction is not good, as hannahB4 said, as long as it affects health and causes troubles in life, it is no longer good. Everything has a limit and is within your control, nothing is good if you put it first and ignore the things around you.
I also invest a lot in bitcoin because I believe it is the only way to have a better life in my country. But I also have a plan b myself in case it fails. I will be fine, and my family will have no problem even if bitcoin fails.

Of course gambling never has a chance of winning and very few people can make money gambling. But I think that if you invest the amount of money that you gamble with, you can hope for something good in the future. Gambling becomes an addiction which can never be quitted and if there is no money at one time, even after taking a loan from various banks, if he gambles, then if he loses, then darkness will come in his life. So I think it's best to invest in crypto and keep it for a long time, the future will be bright

I agree that every so-called addiction is a bad thing that is done by humans, and it really affects mindsets, habits and gives more negative impressions that have more bad consequences than what is imagined.
although in a different context, the nature and orientation is the same as gambling, especially if the investments made always experience losses in their activities, like some of my neighbors who experienced losses but continue to invest until they sell what they have today, it really seems like gambling.

But this can be avoided by practicing investment methods and studying the fundamentals of self-management as an investor according to general rules or according to guidelines in the context of risk management, self-management, good financial management according to investment experts.

If you are addicted to investing then I think you are gambling, it is not investing anymore. Investing means we should only invest with what we can lose, but if you put all your wealth into investing and get addicted to it, that is gambling. Investing and gambling both have risks in common, so we need to have a plan and should know where to stop, we should not exceed our limits or else we will have to pay a heavy price.

Basically, investment is often associated with gambling because of the lack of knowledge of people in this modern era. From a psychological point of view, when you experience a loss, it is not much different from gambling, so curiosity arises which causes a person to experience addiction. We have to prepare many things to start investing, have the right mindset, build definite plans, study market habits, and how to minimize losses. In fact, some of these points show a very big difference, where gambling does not need all of this, gamblers only need some luck in their life.

I think I read a topic here in the forum where there are two people arguing that investing in cryptocurrency is just like gambling and the other says that investing in cryptocurrency is not like gambling.

It almost seems related to the topic you are talking about. Others say that if you are an investor, you should be a risk-taker. At this point, being a risk-taker does not mean you are a gambler. Because trading in cryptocurrency does not depend on luck to make money because there are tools used for trading to know when to buy or sell while gambling does not have such a system.

The importance of being managerial in doing something especially related to money because it will have an impact on the psychology of humans themselves, that is the basis for us to show maturity in taking risks and not exaggerating so as to cause destruction that everyone does not want.

I don't agree that investing addiction is a good thing, that's a word that doesn't suit me, I prefer discipline in investing or investment consistency, that sounds better to my ears, because what addiction means is a bad thing even the object is Good.

Don't mix up the sentence addiction with need, even though basically, yes, people who have addiction really need things that make them addicted so they don't feel bad. because that's why addiction is a bad thing, where people no longer care about their surroundings and have the mindset that they can treat their addiction. Whose intention is for the future instead he himself killed him earlier.

People who identify as Serial investors fall into the category of those addicted to gambling. For them, it is a sport, a kind of game they enjoy. It gives them thrills and pumps their blood. They look for new ventures and ask for some equity. They invest, build it , and sell and repeat. I don't know if it affects their well being but what I can tell is that it makes them happy.

Even we do say that investing is good but on the sense that we are already that addicted to it which means that it is really out as usual stuffs or must thing to be done on investing. Everything should really be that balanced because if we do make out things out of standard then it would be always that a bad thing. Just like the rest been saying that having that balanced approach on things in life is really that something
we should really be minding on. We know that when you are addicted into a particular thing doesnt matter if its on investment or other forms of addiction then it isnt  something healthy to be done.

When you do come into a point that your an investment addict then it would be really out of borders of a usual investor which you might be making some extreme measures or actions
which arent supposed to be done on which it might really be that close on making some actions which is like or close to gambling which is really that bad.

When there's purpose and target in life, you will find yourself doing things over and over again without stopping until you see your dream comes to fulfillment.

Investment addictions can be good if am to say. I have a friend who does spend money on irrelevant things without thinking of tomorrow but ever since I told him about bitcoin and the upcoming bull run that will happen next year, he has curtailed his irrelevant spending on unnecessary things. Any little money that comes into his hand, he will rush to invest in bitcoin, denying himself some important things to do with money.

But when you are addicted to investing, you are no different from a gambling addict. Everything in life has a limit and if you exceed the limit, everything will have a bad ending. For me, financial investment is no different from gambling because there is no guarantee you will win 100%. If you get addicted to it and invest with borrowed money, you will end up as tragic as gambling.

Your friend is not an addict, and addiction is never good. If you are addicted to investing, that means you will not only invest with the money you can lose, but you will invest all the money you have, including money for urgent work and daily expenses…You ignore everything in life and just focus 100% on investing. It's called addiction, and it's not good at all.
In your friend's case, he is only passionate because he has found what he is looking for and is willing to give up other interests to focus on his passion. He is not addicted to investing.

In my opinion, the factors that influence a person's addiction to crypto or not are because he has experienced getting big profits and now he is in a difficult condition so he loses money, when he loses, he imagines the big profits he has earned so he looks like an addiction.

It is not right to be overly addicted to anything. It is good to have an interest in investing but that interest should not turn into an addiction. We will invest and earn profit from the investment as long as everything is within limits. Investment decisions should not be made in such a way that you spend that money on investments leaving out eating and drinking or purchasing daily necessities.

One should give priority to one's own needs first in life.  Because people earn money to live a little better or to change their condition a little. Now if we become addicted to money income and forget our own needs then that money will be of no use.

Anything that's overdone isn't good for the human health and can be very dangerous, eating food more than your body needs can kill you and so is investing. I know people that have invested everything they had because they believe very much in a platform without knowing they were investing in fraud and when it collapse it became an issue for them and they haven't still recovered.

It doesn't matter how good you think an opportunity is to pass without investing but you shouldn't be investing in everything you see or you'll have nothing left and mightn't still make a profit due to reasons beyond your control like the project dumping or getting seized by government for misconducts.

Most of the people are aware about the risks when they are investing their money on something else but majority of them do not know what is it means to fully accept and take the risks. You can considered as a risk taker once you decided to make an investment but most of them do not consider how much money they will lose once their investment become fail. It is all about probability, that is why we should have different scenarios in our head, do not just put winning scenario because for sure you will experience negative emotions like stress, anxiety, regret, sadness, depression and many more once you have different outcome to what you've been expected.

The important thing is we should be aware to the potential losses that we may incur and the potential rewards that we can get, in that way we can know how much money we will put in a specific asset. if you have $1000, you cannot just put it all in a single asset, you need to diversify it in order to protect your capital and minimize the losses that you may incur. Remember that it is not about the money that we make, it is about the money that we didn't lose.

There might be some good addictions like being addicted to be motivated and reach your goals ( the good one only) like finishing studies. Drinking alcohol is not bad but there are better beverage to drink than it and it's okay to be addicted with them like drinking a water as it only cleanse our body and we all know that many people forgot to drink more water.

Investing is good, only if the assets that you invest in are also good. Using little money is advisable than using big sums as there are still risks here. Many of us here are addicted on investing, that we do DCA to fill our bags because this is the only way to earn massive profits when the bull run arrives.

Investing addiction can manifest in various ways, such as constantly monitoring the stock market, compulsively buying and selling stocks or other assets, and taking on high levels of risk with investments. This type of behavior can lead to financial losses, stress, anxiety, and even physical health problems.

Well I used to think I have a addiction because I really like Bitcoin. It is a big part of my life and I talk about it with most people that I know and sometimes I talk about it even too much I think.
And Bitcoin is a investment we can all agree on that. We all want Bitcoin because we all think and are holding so it can show up big profits in the future.
We earn profit and lose profits and keep on hodling the investment. I think we all have a small addiction if we have Bitcoin and we hodl it for long term profits.

Everything that is done overly, that may lead to addiction will definitely affect our whole well-being. That is the reason why we should do things within our control, otherwise we will be force to do things that are not right and aren’t just. However, with investing addiction, provided that you are totally aware of its risks and you will only invest an amount that you can afford to lose, I think that is valid and reasonable as investing all in will be detrimental to your health if ever you lose them all in the end.

It is not investing which is addictive but the desire to earn profit and to be rich in a quicker way possible than with earning it through a regular job. In this industry, it is possible to be in such state but to expect that it would be with ease, is the misconception about this industry. We are all aware of how inconsistent and how unpredictable prices move. One wrong decision could result into huge loss. Patience would play a key role but there are other factors such as TA, DCAs, and luck as well. It just happens that many people are disregarding negative side of investments and are only concerned with the potential profit. In any field of investment, things does not work that way.

Addiction is actually bad things for everywhere be it gambling or any drugs or in trading . I have seen many peoples around me that those doesn't know properly about trading and even they don't study any analysis for investment so without any technical or fundamental analysis they do trading only depends on some pumps and rising so at the end of the day they face losses. And they invest extra money again to avoid this loss and in this case too they suffer from the same situation, many times I have heard from their mouths that it has become like an addiction to them. So I think doing trading or addicted to trade like this is one kind of gambling which can never bring profit.

Investment addiction is not good because you keep increasing investment all the time even though you are willing to afford to lose, you may prioritize investment assets over real world assets and spend less on your needs, so it is not recommended in investing because you have to invest at a lower value reasonable and not excessive investing in fluctuating markets.

yes it is possible that you may be addicted to it, we all know how much it is to have a good trading every profit is worth to be posted in different social media platform. But all things that are not in the right timing and it makes you drain and too much will bring problem to you as time passes by. Trading is good, but oust like gambling it should be in moderation and just be prepared when something goes wrong.

It’s certain that as long as there are profits involved, people will be eventually get attached to it and more likely become addicted to it. But investing addiction is not that bad at all as long as you know your investment well and you’re aware on how to make profits from it and eventually make it prosper. But depriving the good things in your life just to save to invest is actually out of the picture. That is not a good mindset as one should also invest in one’s health and body before we take part in investing for profits.

Investing and gambling had some of the unique same features.When you keep do them for the positive, it's will the addition. After that, don't buy crypto when the market is green.Most of the traders do this mistake of gambling addiction and buy coin at the bull market instead of bear market.Because the profit from coin brought in bull gives less profit to the coin which we brought in it in bear market.When the trader had earned some good money from the trading,he will not leave the trading till he get equal amount of money as loss.Actually the trader become the investing addicted to get the next high profit from the same trading.

Abuse, addictions, and over-spending habits - all of these things result in no good.
But it seems not a very usual thing to happen in investing because investors are smart as I think. They put money for the reason that it grom more, unlike gambling which leads to losing more. Though we can say it was not right from getting into investment addiction, however, thinking that it multiply our money in the future, is somewhat of a great addiction happening to us.

Buying when the market is green isn't a bad choice neither, because we aren't sure of the market tomorrow. The profitability varies along with the holding time period. Investing at the highest price lets you to hodl more than investing at the bottom price. The addiction of gambling differs from that of investing addiction. This is very rare, maybe 1 in 1000 will have such mentality. With gambling one in hundred used to have the addiction. To gamble people easily borrow and does it whereas for investing very few borrow money.

this is a necessity of life so it must be met no matter how expensive the food is if it is healthy it is not a problem, my principle is to invest if the problems of daily life have been fulfilled and new enough to invest, why have a lot of investment property, if we who have bodies accept mental stress and poor health unstable for a long time, our investment will run out for treatment
so enjoy your life, don't hoard wealth because there's no use being rich but not enjoying

You are right, anything in excess will not be good for the final result, so investing addiction must be reduced because any investment will always have a losing impact even if you have invested in top coins, a simple case for example that you have bought buy bitcoin at $ 50k the previous ATH price moment, so surely your investment interest will decrease after your assets are reduced, so don't be addicted to investing but prioritize analysis to invest at low prices and it will take a long time to wait for a market bearish moment.

Investing is good but over-addiction will lead to losses like gambling no one can tell when a currency will rise, just as gambling addiction can lead to exhaustion in investment addiction. That's why first you need to know about the crypto market which currency gives good profit and buy cryptocurrency by verifying them. Since cryptos are very volatile, no one will be able to accurately predict their value. Research the market and if you think a certain crypto is underpriced, buy it or if you think it's overvalued now sell it.

Investing is not considered as an addiction, but it is possible for some people to become overly obsessed with it. This can lead to risk taking or neglecting other important areas of life that we need to prioritize. Investing itself is not dangerous if done responsibly and with a clear understanding with the risk involve. Investing can be a way to grow our wealth and achieve our financial goals. It is important to educate ourselves with investing to be aware of the risk that we are going to face.

all of that aims to make a profit, addicted to investing because they already have knowledge and experience or have been able to achieve profits in several previous investments so that it makes someone addicted to seeking profits in investing, I think that's a natural thing and everyone will do it when the investment goes well .
but regarding risks and all possibilities, of course, they can be minimized, especially for people who already have knowledge and experience in investing.

Investment can be never considered as addiction as investment requires you to be financially stable to that extent so that you can use your extra money in any profitable venture and in today's time where poverty is increasing with everyday increasing inflation people are having hard time in meeting both ends meet .
They can hardly manage their monthly expenses within their pays so investment is for rich only .

I agree, we all have a bit of an addiction when it comes to investing in bitcoin because we all prioritize it over any other asset. But don't let it become a bad addiction.
After all, bitcoin is just money, but many people become addicted and crazy about bitcoin. They propagate bitcoin like god can save them from earthquakes, from war, and recently, there was a thread about bitcoin that saved them when they were in the middle of the desert...Too much exaggeration revolves around bitcoin. Bitcoin is really good, but it is not a god that can save or benefit us in all cases. I think they got too addicted and gave birth to hallucinations, which is really not good at all.

Will we really call this threats addiction for investors?. To me i will regard them as opportunist. The are setting out their priorities right. One can decide to neglect their personal needs just to make sure they have secured enough for the future and in real sense it can't be seen as addiction. Addiction is more common amongst traders and gamblers because this two processes requires instant profit and loss.

In my opinion, investing is like gambling because it can create addiction, someone who has invested in cryptocurrencies and has experienced profits of up to thousands of percent in a short time will of course continue to try new luck, they will continue to watch prices so they can sell or buy at a target price that has been thought of.

what's addiction??
An inability to do without or stop doing something even when it poses to be a threat to you or the people around you.
Now, would you advice that one gets too used to trading or investing that they have to starve themselves of other opportunities or make the people around them feel you do not value them???

In everything, try to ensure that you balance up your game, the people around us deserve to know they're important and money must be made too.

I think any addiction carries a level of unhealthiness even if it's something like an addiction to working out, there are negative consequences to that too. 

Now what type of investing addiction is a bit different of a story.  There's a big difference between being addicted to investing for the long term versus investing for short term.  When investing for short term, typically investors are investing in a more risky manner, which can certainly get you in to trouble.  Day trading has lead many to become addicted to investing and that's a good way to lose a lot of money quickly. 

Everything in moderation!

It's the different perspective that one can say about gambling and investing and instead of telling about addiction as comparison, it's about the risk that it gives.

There's some luck given in investing but it's not always the case. Those that have managed to profit from their investments have greater take now in risk and that's why they'll continue.

It always comes down to how you see things. As how you explained it? there is nothing wrong. But when share your insight how you see it, it gets worse. If you see investing in that way, you will absolutely lose money because you will fight your own belief about investing that you won't be able to follow your plan.

I advise that if you would invest, make sure that it won't affect or downgrade your day-to-day life. It should be something that gives you assurance that in the long run, it will serve as your safety net as you hedge on an asset over inflation. It just falls into your mindset and how you see it.

Investment is good if you use it wisely. And you can only use it wisely if you see it as a good thing and not as a form of addiction.

It can be said that there are many similarities between crypto gambling and investing, the huge profit or loss opportunities make anyone interested in investing in crypto, and we have to be wise when we want to invest, make sure to do a detailed analysis so we don't regret it if bad things happen.

Not only is investing and gambling addictive, but anything, when you are too passionate or crazy about it, can make you addicted. But to say that investing is like gambling is not entirely true. Although the purpose of both is to make a profit and there is a risk of losing money. To win in investment is not only based on luck like gambling, but you need to have knowledge, experience, skills ... many new factors can make a profit. Therefore, investing cannot be said to be gambling, they are entirely different.

It's not about the addiction here on this context provided that you realized that you're not gambling but rather making an investment, if your addiction on the kind of investment you're making is profitable to you and you make some good return from such addicted investment then there's no problem with that because it's not a waste of time and effort and you can behold the results evident in you, but getting addicted to what gives no results could be discouraging and serve a waste of time and money, therefore to this fact, if we are being served well in our addiction on the kind of investment we do, then that's a better way of being busy on something tangible than waste of time on what has no result.

The best way to get addicted to gambling is to invest into ga minimum gambling reward or you can buy high amount of sites that have minimum reward but in many gamblers in their gambling site or website they will lose big money because in gambling they find that they can't afford to lose some money. Even at a casino site, one can easily lose big amount of money but in gambling you just can not see that it is possible because gambling is a game that is not really on the way we do gambling but for sure if is only for those gambling sites you can't earn much in your casino site but you have to get your gambling sites from the casino which will not be able to earn much money from gambling.

Most people who are addicted to investing because they can already take profits have no other intention and purpose in investing other than to make a profit and in my opinion someone can be addicted to investing because he can already get profits or already knows the right way to be able to get profits.
and the problem of gambling with investing is of course different, in investing there are many techniques that can be used to get profits, be it long-term or short-term investments.

I doubt if anyone gets addicted to investment, because if one tries to get such an addiction, they may still sell off their asset (Bitcoin) just to keep up with their needs when it becomes too pressing on them. If anyone does that, there's always a disadvantage that follows. For example, someone bought Bitcoin worth $800 when the price was at $29k, and after one week, a need for $300 arises on his side. By then, the price of Bitcoin had dropped to $27k, and because he really needed the money, he just had to sell at a loss. Even if the investment is in other things from which they can't just withdraw their money at any time, they end up borrowing from others to solve their problems.

It's true that some people are so self-determined to save up and invest, but I have not seen someone who is so determined to the extent that they refuse to buy food and eat healthy, but rather they only limit their lavish spending and also manage what they have, like the clothes you mentioned. If they still have some good clothes to wear, they don't bother buying new ones when they see one, but that doesn't mean they wear rags.

@OP, if it's in the way you meant it, I haven't seen any case where someone gets so addicted to investment, just like gambling, that they end up not spending on other important things.

It's good to be addicted on something we're being propitable atleast our efforts will be efficient. Though crypto is risky we should manage or monitor our investment effectively as well give time to study the market. Addiction in studying it and investing on it once we knew the pros and cons can lessen losses that usually happens in gamblers since it's hard to study what the outcome of their bets can be, atleast in investing we can study it and analyze it thru datas and news and the fact that we only loss when we sells it.


I knew workers who is not rich but able to manage their finances thru having multiple sidelines and able to pay properties in monthly terms payment for their investments as well buy some stocks. It's a matter of management and budgeting.

Anything can be addictive, crypto investments that provide huge profit opportunities compared to stocks, gold, property or anything else of course make anyone look addicted, but in my opinion this is good because it can make many people rich, it's proven that when there is a price increase it will appear new rich people.

While it may be easier to think that having an addiction towards something that is positive or productive is better than having one's self addicted to detrimental or bad things, we cannot rule out the fact that anything that is too much is never good for anyone. Regardless of how much of a great thing a productive addiction provides, if it hinders a person from living a well-balanced and fulfilling life, it will never be a good thing. Thus, we can say that the kind of addiction you are talking about along with all the other addictions out there are dangerous and not good for anyone.

   -  Having an addiction does not mean that it is immediately bad, of course it is not. Because there is an addiction that is good and helps us. For example, you have an addiction to saving Bitcoin, so you will not allow yourself to not have it when the bull run comes, you will do all the opportunities to buy it from time to time. It just means that it will give us good results in the future.

There are also bad results when the implementation of addiction is not correct, such as having a gambling addiction, most people know that gambling is not really good because most people have seen what it causes to an individual person. Although, there are other gamblers who are responsible for being gamblers but are not addicted to gambling.

Investment does make addiction and in my opinion it is natural, if someone ever gets a big profit from Crypto investment then he will try to try again, when it fails or is hit by a scam it will make me curious so that it will continue to invest, investment is addicted but we must be able to control the mind so that it is not Loss of everything for example selling assets or taking a debt.

That is the reason it is highly not recommended to invest using money that is a basic need or to finance daily life. Using the example of a gambler's addiction and an investment addiction there is no close connection between the two, the adrenaline rush produced from these two addictions is very different.

Gambling addicts can sometimes be at gambling venues for hours just hoping for a win. Gambling will not drain a person's well-being as long as they can control themselves. Addicted to investing because often get profit. IMO
Someone will not invest all of their money under any circumstances, they will leave some of their money to buy things that are considered necessities of life.

If there is an investment addict, this investor has probably experienced a good return from his capital several times in his life.
Apparently, it's natural for him to invest because he knows what it brings when he invests in the right thing. So I can say that it is not a bad thing if it helps us in terms of finances. The bad thing is if it doesn't help or you become a victim of other investment scams, that's the hard part.

You can't run into a dipshit when you follow due process but of course, the unexpected does happen that is why risk management is very essential in every business. In any investment, as long as profit is made, that is not considered as an addiction. Even in gambling, they don't see the addiction of players until they start seeing losses in their games, that is the time you see frustrations, and inner pain becomes physical and the same goes with investments. Look at Tesla for example, they are not only into cars but other also into energy like solar energy and also space satellite as they now provide internet across the world and they are still investing in other sectors.

The essence of investment priority should be profit-driven whether they are investing annually, monthly, or weekly, as long as the money that is put into business yields profits at the end of the day, I don't see that as addiction, that is what the business was designed to do.

I believe having an addition is immediately bad. Addictions are not good and I don’t know if any addiction that is good and actually helps us. Is there a thing like having an addiction to saving bitcoin? I don’t think that’s an addiction as you’ve either got the discipline for holding onto your savings judiciously or you don’t.
I haven’t seen nor heard a case of someone with an addiction of holding onto bitcoin without spending. There may very well be folks out there who do this.
Whatever the case, an addiction is never good as an addict is controlled by the addiction.

Yes addiction of everything is bad no matter what it is. We can say there is no good nor bad addiction, they are just bad. If we talk about investing, then best way to invest (without getting addicted) is to invest some part of your savings weekly or monthly into bitcoin. Just follow the DCA strategy then everything will be fine. Investing unlike gambling should be a good habit not an addiction.

Investment addiction can take a toll on your health, especially your mental and financial health. because according to my understanding, investment addiction has the same impact as gambling, because they have something in common when it comes to the goal of greater financial returns. When you are addicted to investing, you can lose control over your actions and thoughts and tend to ignore the risks and negative consequences associated with unwise investments. This can lead to significant financial loss, and even lead to stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health problems.

Therefore, it is very important to follow the basic principles of sound investment and always follow the financial plan that has been made, and always monitor the risks and potential benefits of investment in a balanced manner.

Whatever form it takes, addiction is a bad habit. especially when it comes to money will make our lives financially destroyed. Most people who are new to investing or trading think that this is a shortcut to multiplying money, without having enough knowledge they are determined to do it, and the results are not what they expected, then after that, there is disagreement and curiosity. from their minds and indirectly they are not aware that they have lost a lot of money here. It all starts with addiction when you win and curiosity when you lose, so how is this different from gambling? I think most people these days are always tempted by the results without them knowing how the process.

I can't picture anyone getting addicted in the medical sense over investing. Shit's stressful as hell and if I have a cchoice (which is a million dollars getting handed to me with no conditions) I'd pick the latter. You could argue that this could get into people who are considered as workaholic but I wouldn't agree over the simple fact that these type of people would always choose the most difficult tasks (correct me if I'm wrong) over monotonous and stressful ones.

In any case, Do all things in moderation. If you think you're becoming more and more prone to addiction, steer away from what you're currently leading into and do your best to seek hell and assistance so you can get back on the right track. 

Investing is like addiction, those who are profitable will try to repeat it again and vice versa those who lose or get scammed will try to get money again, this is like a circle and it is difficult to stop, and in my opinion the most important thing when investing in crypto is understanding the risks that can experienced.

Investing is something we need to try as much to be addicted to which is going to help us in a long if we have the addiction of investing continually. Those who do not like investing are the ones that will always complain about several mistakes that they have made. I am the kind of person that like investing in something that may not have the value now but in the future it will have strong value. This is the way many people do go about there investment and it had helped many especially the early adopters of Bitcoin when the price was low.

Addiction to investing in crypto must be considered price analysis because now there are many choices of coins and relatively market conditions are in recovery so we have to be patient waiting for the next market correction to add coin assets to the portfolio, so it's different if someone is addicted to gold and property investment because they can invest whatever and anytime for low risk when they have income/salary from their work, but invest in crypto there must be patience to wait for the right moment to buy for low price.

It is always good to invest  but investing should stop us to the right things that are necessary to our Health. Health should be the most important investment every individual should look into,  because when their is Health it is easy to gain  wealth. If we only consider to make profit in investment and neglect Health it can turn into serious problems that we warrant the money that have been on investment to solve the problem.  Investing is a good thing but should never be a reason not to give serious attention to health.

Actually my guess is that those who invest at first get addicted to it for a few days. Today's top investors are never so much addicts but trust their investments with special intelligence and knowledge. Investing is actually best for bettering a person's future but there are some investors who are most addicted to investing without thinking about their future. But think about the people who are currently involved in cryptocurrency and investing are the most intelligent people and I think they never get addicted to it. and investors will always have their future so investment is not their addiction but their addiction to spend for future good.

Now let's come to people who gamble regularly, I think gambling is a mental addiction. once a person indulges in gambling, it carries a grim future for him. Most people spend their money on gambling and gamblers spend a lot of money on gambling without thinking about their families. and once those who chase this tide are the most affected and addicted to it. Gambling addiction is the worst type of gambling addiction. So I think gambling is one of the most addictive sites but investing is not so addictive.

Once called addiction, nothing can be called good, bitcoin is no exception, it's surprising how many people are defending bitcoin. Once addicted, it not only destroys our finances, but the consequences will be much more dangerous. It will affect our health as well as all our relationships in society. No matter how much we love bitcoin, we should balance our lives, don't let it make us addicted. Life is full of exciting things and needs attention, not just bitcoin, and money is everything.

Investing is like addiction and in my opinion this is not a problem, as long as we can control our emotions then we can continue to profit, but sometimes we also have to think realistically that investing takes a long time to make a profit and sometimes even loses, if we are not ready for bad things to happen then it will stress and depression.

Gambling and investment have little in common in their addiction, gambling can make people addicted if it is started by winning in the game. while addicted to investing if someone gets a big profit in the investment value.
but keep in mind that addiction to gambling cannot provide welfare even though he wins a lot, but if the big profits are obtained in investment, in my opinion, it can give someone maximum welfare.

this is like a businessman who is also addicted in putting up more businesses because once you get acquainted with running your own business, you will think of other business that you can also explore. there's nothing wrong with such mindset. so long as you said, you are ready emotionally, financially on this endeavour.
this path is not for all people. for one, not all have their spare money to venture in this kind of investment. but if you are capable of, some are lacking of the skills needed to sustain such path.

How it can be called "bad" while it gives you many advantages and less of disadvantage.  You can see that addiction in investing will give you some profit from your investment. although as you all said that every things that was done with addiction called as bad.

There are many other activities that can be considered active addictions, such as reading, learning a new skill, or pursuing a hobby. These activities can provide many benefits, such as personal growth, intellectual stimulation, and a sense of accomplishment.

However, even when viewed as positive, it can be addictive if it begins to negatively impact other areas of life or if it is pursued to the point of obsession. It's important to maintain a balanced approach and prioritize other important aspects of life, such as health, relationships, and personal growth, while pursuing your passions and interests.

Once addicted, you will put all your money and time into it. You don't care about your health, don't care about your children, your family. You will even use living money, the whole family's savings, to invest. In your opinion, is it good or bad?

If you think investment addiction is good, and the benefits outweigh the risks. Why don't you sell your house, sell off your assets to invest in bitcoin, and expect a great outcome? Everything needs a limit and moderation, if it is exceeded and addicted, it will never be good.

By the way, I would like to know what is your definition of addiction, why you think addiction is good?

Too much is always bad, which is also addicting. If, let's say, the person is addicted to investment and he spends most of his money on investment, let's say 90% of his salary, with nothing more left for his needs, and then his investments have still made no profit for months, then that is the problem. But if he has already seen the returns and as long as it isn't affecting him or his family, then I think that addiction is somewhat good. But again, when it is about addiction, there are still negative aspects to it, not financially but for sure for health or relationships with others.

Undoubtedly we should have interest or addiction towards learning or learning something new. We should be addicted to those things which addiction will bring benefits to life. By addiction we mean something bad but can be addicted to something good. And we have to be addicted to that good thing.
If we become overly addicted to investments or financial income, that addiction can have a very negative impact on our lives. Because addiction to money income changes people a lot. Then the small wants of life will have no value.  Then this addiction will become more important than your own family. So we should not be so addicted to these online investment platforms.

Let's not talk about investment, let's say when a child learns and when he learns so much that his health is affected, it is not a good thing, although education is always called a good thing.
Once it is called an addiction, it means that it is causing consequences, not bringing positive results, if it only brings benefits, then no one will call it an addiction. It seems that people are confusing passion with addiction, they are entirely different.
If you are passionate about investing and get rid of the habit of spending money in vain, then it is the right thing to do. But when you give up everything, including family, health... to focus on investing, it's no longer a passion but an addiction.

In my personal view, if the investment always has a good return for each individual, this is the reason why or maybe an investor develops an addiction. Of course, he experienced a big return on his investment that he probably didn't expect.

That's why because of that addiction, maybe other investors don't notice that with every investment they lose a lot of capital, they don't see it anymore and they can't think properly because what they always see is the positive. that they will earn from the capital they release.

Addiction in investing is very different from gambling because in investing we have great hopes to get profits but in a time that we cannot determine, while gambling is just a lure that we always hope for and only some people can get winnings, and many gamblers they are very wasteful if they have received large bonuses, but for investors they can always manage their finances both in spending and for capital  Invest, and they usually will have a certain time to spend their money on luxury shopping and this is very often I find, but all this depends on each of us.

Life is a gradual process and it has to be balance to an extent in every ramifications we have to consider other aspects such like health, social needs, food, and other materials needed, then after considering some of this basic and put into consideration, then we invest again with wisdom leading. Still look around to see what is important again after some time, then solve it.

It is not advisable to keep saving while in serious health condition or starving, we should also take care of our other need because death may appear anytime and all the investment has never serve at any area. We should try to balance life and apply knowledge and deep thoughts how we suffer our self and our body system entirely.

Profit is the main purpose of investments, but investment addiction can still happen even when one is making a profit. Wait, don't think that's a good thing because once you focus too much on it, it will greatly affect your daily life as well as the relationships around you. Even for a long time, they will be so obsessed with making money through investing that they ignore other aspects of life. In my opinion, I am the master of myself, not the money that governs me. So you have to know how to balance everything around so you can enjoy a lifetime in this life.

Well, addiction is not good but in the case of investment addiction, I would consider this as a different story. It is good if we are addicted to something that gives us more money, whether we are spending it too much but actually, the results are great compared to gambling addiction where our money is flowing out.
In this case, this person is not doing his job as an investor because if he does, he would never invest in something that he never know. Because for me, why I should be doing that when the purpose of my investment is to earn money, not lose them.
Maybe this would happen to newbies but this is impossible for old-timers.

If I understand your illustration and explanation correctly, not every addict is a bad one. Gambling addicts are the worst addicts ever. Investment addicts, to some point, are also very good, but to the point where the OP explained it, it's really bad. Like, what's the point of investing in something when you are not leaving a healthy life? All the investments that we make are for the preparation of our future, for our future to be better than how it is right now, on a financial level, I mean. But what if we keep leaving the investment addict's life and the person never has to meet those futures because of bad health? What then is the importance of the investment?

It's always good to invest, but why do we do that? We should always do it and apply wisdom to it. If you are in need of some pressing needs, those saved funds that are invested somewhere are to be used to get a better life for the individual, feed well, etc. But when it comes to dressing well, one can actually minimize that, just like they can minimize the amount they spend on buying expensive clothes since those are not part of the essential things that keep their life going.

I think gambling and investing are two things that are almost the same even though investment is the result of decisions from various mature predictions, but both are the same as being used to take luck that is uncertain whether to gain or lose. even some people who immediately jump into the world of fast investments like crypto must think that this is gambling not investment.

Trading in the financial markets is stimulating, exciting, and engrossing. But you can become addicted, just like with actual casino gambling or using drugs. like any addiction, trading addiction can you socially and economically. If you have enough control to your mind then, you can balance life and your finance. The way we use knife, it helps us in kitchen but same knife can take someone's life as well, if we are not using in right way. This is why if we are investing our extra money or in sudden limit then addiction to investment is good.

I think it's more about what you do about investment. Like for example, I could invest my money into just bitcoin and hold it for many years and check the price maybe once or twice a month, that would be an investment that is not addictive. Or you could invest and check the price every 5 minutes to see how it is doing, that would be considered addiction.

So, it's not about the investment itself but HOW you invest, if you invest like an addicted person and constantly try to do something about then it is going to be a trouble. Many people who are new start like that, and should not be considering that situation as normal. I feel like the best thing to do in this case is to invest and let your investment be until it reaches low or high enough for you to stop.

You could consider anything to addiction if you couldn't stop yourself or limit yourself by doing such certain things. For example in gambling addiction, despite losing a lot of money still you're trying to have a loan just to have the funds for gambling which can be consider in investment. Investment still has the risk especially when it comes to crypto industry where volatility is present to it's currency. Greed and addiction to have a stable financial status from investing could still be consider addiction, to point where you forgotten to enjoy yourself as you focus on making money sources.

Investing addiction could be possible, there are people who neglect their basic needs and other financial needs in order to invest more money to their chosen investment. And i think this kind of addiction  is dangerous if it leads to a person neglecting their basic needs, such as good food, clothing and other important expenses. Neglecting these needs can have a negative impact on a person's physical and mental health. However, investing can also be a positive thing when done in moderation and with careful consideration of ones financial situation and priorities. It is important to maintain a balance and not let investing consume ones life to the detriment of other important expenses.

It's normal if we invest and profit then we will look like addiction, many people think that investing is like gambling, but actually gambling and investing are different things, if we gamble then there is a chance of losing and losing all the money, but when we invest and the price is down but we can be patient to hold then there is still a chance to profit again.

Yes, you definitely can get addicted to investing, i did. At first it's understandable that you can't making money without putting some of it to investing. Put at some point you have enough and just keep rising the amount. You start to lose reality when it stops being money and its just numbers, and those numbers are never high enough. I had money to spend definitely, but i was always looking at the next level. Can i buy a car? A house? Can i live year with this? Can i live rest of my life? Can i live a luxury life? Are my children going to be able to live with this after i die?

Nothing is enough. Gladly i have also started to invest myself. I don't even mind where we are on the bull run or bear run. I can't ever sell the absolute top anyway. But if i need to invest to myself, my health or to my kids. I am not looking at the charts at that point. It's no use to invest your money if you don't use it when you have it.

Yeah I think in some way its very possible to be affected by too much investment as this act can make you very stingy on yourself and others just because you are trying to invest more and it can affect your social life too because this kind of addiction comes with another companion together which is that feeling of spending too much money so instead of getting yourself a outfit ,one will split the money for the clothes and invest the other part because his addicted to the act which better than gambling because you can use the money for something else that is tangible when the investment actually reaches the limit on it.

But there is also no 100% guarantee that when you invest in a bear market and hold, you will make a profit. Everything is risky, just more or less, and you don't have a crystal ball to know about the future, so don't be sure of anything.
If talking about addiction, once addicted, it can never be called good. Addiction is a disease that harms us, so whether it's investment addiction, work addiction, study addiction...In general, once the limit is exceeded and affects health and society, it is not good.

In my religion, there is always this teaching from the Bible that says, "Too much of every good thing is bad for you." Generally, addiction is not a good thing. While investing, we should also be aware that investments have some risk attached to them, whether small or large. So that the person investing can always be prepared for whatever comes from their investment, whether it fails or brings fruitful results, and in some cases, investing in a place where you cannot easily take out your money when you really have a pressing need, One of my friends said that he is fond of spending unnecessarily, so he decided to start investing with piggyback fixed savings. He always puts his money on that platform and only keeps a little cash with him to pay his bills for that week before she gets another paycheck. So one day, when he was really sick and had not enough money to foot his hospital bill, he tried to collect his money from the piggy bank but was told that his agreement for the specific period of fixed savings had not yet been reached. According to him, he had to borrow money that incurred a lot of interest before he could pay his hospital bills.

I'm never really sure you'll find one of those, even if it does, then I think the 1 in 1000 chance is still too low to be said to be the number of occurrences. It makes no sense to get someone to invest aggressively like that, it's too extreme to do even if they are confident about the potential return over a certain time frame.

In fact, meeting the needs for clothing, food and shelter is necessary instead of prioritizing investment plans and interests. The most valuable health instead of the value of the investment. The stomach needs food to supply nutrients throughout the body, the brain needs refreshing and the body needs a comfortable place to live so that all of that becomes a priority.

Investing is a fun thing because by investing we can make a profit, the trend of investing is increasing because many people think that investing is a smart way to earn passive income, it makes someone look like an addiction and I think this is fine as long as we don't sell anything or debt when investing.

Many people have the ambition to get big profits in a fast way, unfortunately when they know cryptocurrencies they do everything to invest, they hope to follow the success stories of investors who can profit 100x even 1000x so they sell houses or go into debt to be able to buy crypto so it looks like addiction .

Greed usually works in them, so because of getting more, they become addicted and lose everything and become destitute. The crypto market does not stay in one place. For investing here, the market must be analyzed well and wait patiently. It is possible to avoid the possibility of loss if one invests according to one's ability without becoming an almighty. When you start an online investment the revenue may not be immediate but after consistent effort you will see some small income.

I agree with you, success can be achieved by investing in all projects, it can never be guaranteed. Many of us invest in some online projects, lose capital and end up in debt. The latter is seen to recover lost capital. Regardless of the direction, investing becomes addictive by becoming impatient. It is not unusual to have more or less risk in investing. But I think, to avoid this risk without becoming addicted to investment. It is wise to do thorough research and exercise your patience. But it must be accepted. Anything with addiction never has good results.

Someone becomes addicted to something by doing it every day and time they're people who can't skip a day without investing so these kind of people may not experience financial difficulties in the future because I believe one day they will make a profit the same thing if someone is addicted to investing to the extent that they won't reach out there needs any amount of money they have they use it for investment I consider these a psychological problem at the moment

When you have money but can't afford what you want right away, especially when it comes to eating healthy meals, I wonder how you can feel free and have balance in your life. This, in my opinion, is what will ensure that you live a long and healthy life and that you love your life without sickness.
Since I think that not eating healthy meals may cause someone to experience health issues in life, how could someone expect to manage their Investments and stay healthy without eating nutritious meals.

To much is not good in anything like if we are taking medicine, we know it is good and I will become well after taking this but if we take too much then obviously there will be negative effect on my body like wise if you addicted in investing addiction then it can ruin your life if you don't have idea of trading. If you are investing in some assets, small portion from your income then it is appreciable and it may impact positively in your life. whenever you feel like you are loosing then you must have self control to stop before you loose everything.

I think not all projects, a two to four project with strong potential and plans are good to be invest with. I used to invest in new projects last last year and end up losing more than winning, I learned that it is good to have a limited number of projects only with good marketing and strategic plans rather than inevsting because it is only hype or because someone influenced us to bought it. It is addicted yes to invest and invest but the more you invest the more risk you will give.

One that has investing addiction would not miss there way because investing is one of the things that is necessary for us to earn bug from the market with good profits. The problem 9fnmnay traders and investors isbthqh they Don't make the right investment or ready to invest in the market consecutively. A person that has investing addiction and that knownhownti find there way to the market without making the wrong steps would also earn big from the market without stress because they are already addicted to investing and would be making consistent profits from the market.

I think investment addiction is something that will lead a person to progress. lIt is better to invest than to waste money in the wrong place. Because of the investment addiction, you can make more money than your assets. Losing money by investing in the wrong place will be considered a waste. Before investing, one should know carefully about the investment and know how much potential for the investment. Do your research and invest which can make you wealthy.

Everything that falls for addiction is not healthy anymore. Even in bitcoin investing, if you don’t know how to control and discipline yourself when it comes to your finances, you will not end up a successful one. The thing is bitcoin investment is never bad but if you invest without managing your risk and invest without caution, you will only invest at a loss rather than investing for good profits in the future.

There are good and bad problems and I think if someone who's investing too much and forget the wellbeing of his own is on the bad side.

It's a good problem that he's thinking about investing at most times and spends his money on it. But remember that everything that's excess is also bad.

There should be an equal distribution of your time and money for everything so that you won't forget your own welfare.

Having an addiction is not that bad in my opinion. It only becomes bad if what you use it for is not right, like gambling, we know very well that many lives and families are ruined by gambling.

There is nothing wrong with applying it to the investment opportunity as long as it helps why should we stop, it's just that simple to understand. Just like you mentioned about food, there are people who are addicted to eating vegetables or love it, there is nothing wrong with it, instead it can lead to a good condition of our health and away from disease. But it is said that we must be balanced in everything we do because everything that is too much is not good and causes harm.

Any kind or form of addiction is bad. Why? You are really that doing things excessively even though this would really be pertaining about investment but still considered to be bad if things turns out to be uncontrolled or something that do talks about excessive manner. We do know that everything should be handled up not excessively because if you do then you would really be risking out something
which would be mainly on your fund since we are talking about investment. Investment should really be taken seriously but not on that excessive manner because once things turns out to be salty or bitter
then losses would be huge.

This is why risks management is really something that recommendable and be wary towards your actions because if you dont, then you would definitely be facing up huge problems later on.
Its okay to invest because we do have those kind of goals on making profit but everything should really be that in controlled manner if you dont like things to be messy afterwards.

If you are good at it, and you are doing well by getting good results from your investment, then this addiction is not bad. Addiction of bad things are bad. Do you consider the addiction of reading books to be a bad one? Of course not. So when you are investing in order to make your asset grow and getting profits from them, how can it be a bad thing?
The fact about eating less or saving money to invest rather than doing the important thing that is necessary could be avoided by just making a good plan for your expenses. Save what you can and spend wisely on goods so that you can save up as much as you can while keeping your life to a proper flow. Money brings money and if someone is doing it for their own good, then it's not so bad.

But if you are suffering from something like this, and it is affecting your life so much so that you are unable to lead a healthy life, then you should seek for help immediately. Everyone has their own different opinions. So, one thing that is good for someone could be the worst thing to someone else. Keeping that in mind, if you feel like you are getting addicted, and it is bad for you, then seek for help.

This means that you also emphasize a much better place in investment, right? So you should also recommend the place to everyone even though most people who are very experienced with investing always prefer research before committing to any place. Because investment still has the potential for loss if the place is not very proper or wrong, besides all investors who often make these investments also have quite wise goals. Namely expecting profits in the end so they certainly won't put money carelessly in a place that doesn't give them full profits.

Well, everything that you overdo makes you become uncontrollable and undisciplined regardless if your intention is to make you profitable. There is a certain time when to best enter and best exit from the market so we should only focus to that, and not resorting into investing addiction as it’s not healthy anymore. Though investing is a good and profitable mindset, but somehow it could also ruin our life with its life changing mistakes and losses.
