Its crucial to remember that, globally, a significant proportion of Bitcoin mining still relies heavily on non-renewable energy sources, primarily coal. The carbon footprint of the Bitcoin network is reportedly similar to that of some countries! As a matter of fact, Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance estimates that Bitcoin uses more electricity per year than the entire country of Argentina.
While I appreciate your argument and the instances you've presented, they are perhaps not representative of the industry as a whole. That being said, these examples serve as an excellent reminder that the sector could and should make more efforts towards sustainable mining practices.

while you have an ongoing plan for your child, that's okay, it's your right as a parent to educate your child in any way, but I think getting used to giving gifts every time your child obeys you might become a bad habit going forward.
In my opinion, giving access to YouTube to children can also make children addicted to looking at cellphones. when my child was small I preferred to focus on training my child's motor skills by inviting him to play offline instead of watching videos online.
I will teach my child if he understands and understands finances.
Everyone should teach their children about what's right for them and what they need to know, but they need to do it according to their age, so please, let your children grow older first and then teach them about finances, cryptocurrencies, or anything else, and let them enjoy their childhood with things that they will remember for their whole life, spend as much time with them as you can, and make them do things that they enjoy which are not harmful or addictive for them. I totally understand that it's a good thing if kids get to learn about things that they will need in future from an early age, but that early age shouldn't be too early, I mean we should ruin their childhood just because we want them to know and learn about Bitcoin and other financial tools and activities. And everything would really be just on the right time and this is something that you should prioritize and dont rush up yourself in terms of teaching them because there's an exact time for it. Easy way? There's no such thing because explaining it to your children would be definitely not that easy because we know that on the time that we would be tending to explain out those things but our children isnt really that still prepared because we know that financial things turns out to be complicated basing up on their own understanding. On the time that you would really be able to see that they are accepting out those financial ideas then this is the time you would be considering on explaining to them about Bitcoin and try out if it would be caughting up their interest and make out some questions or simply having the curiousity. Not all children would really be accepting new ideas or things that had been able to encounter but since you as their parents been talking about it then it would be most likely be followed and would be absorbed. Just make it sure that those informations that you are saying wont really be that complicated or something that would be sticking with the basics for them to easily to understand. Introducing your children to Bitcoin or other complex ideas before they are ready may cause more confusion than understanding. Bitcoin is not a magic carpet ride through the financial sphere, and neither is the real world. One option to consider is teaching kids about currency first. Allow children to grasp the fundamentals of earning, saving, and spending with a straightforward introduction. You can then gradually introduce them to more advanced ideas like investing and cryptocurrency once they have a firm grasp on the fundamentals. Building a Lego tower is similar; you don't begin at the pinnacle. You should know that Bitcoin is merely the beginning of the cryptocurrency market. Then, when they're ready, you may expand their horizons by teaching them about blockchain, mining, and other cryptocurrencies. However, take your time! The same way that it took longer than a day to build Rome, it takes time to learn about money. |

Most of the countries of the world are economically backward, very few countries are economically developed. But if we focus on whether Bitcoin can improve the economy of any country, then I would definitely say yes. Because we have seen many countries use Bitcoin to advance their economic management. Especially in a country like EL Salvador where people were constantly forming different gangs and economically they were very backward. But since the time when the Salvadoran government recognized Bitcoin, their economic position has gradually improved. Where all transactions are done by Bitcoin, we can say that it is possible to improve the economic position of a country by Bitcoin. There are many other countries that have advanced economically by investing in Bitcoin and they have invested in Bitcoin to improve the country economically.
Due to Bitcoin, those in developing nations without bank accounts have access to opportunities they have never had before. People can utilize "digital cash" instead of going to a bank thanks to it. It is now simpler for people to participate in the global economy. But we also need to consider how technologically behind many of these nations are. Some people lack the necessities to use Bitcoin. This may widen the income gap, making it more difficult for those without access to advance in life. Bitcoin therefore has promise, but its use should be a part of a bigger strategy that also includes funding digital education and infrastructure. |

Does cryptocurrency actually solve any problems?
Yes, it does. Bitcoin has served the purpose for which it was created and has even gone beyond that purpose. The architect of Bitcoin (Satoshi) looked at how monetary policy was only managed by centralised authorities like banks and other financial firms and how third parties were always involved in carrying out monetary transactions, so he designed Bitcoin so that every individual who decides to use it can handle their own financial management without the need for any centralised authority or any third party involved. If you have some knowledge about Bitcoin already, then you will know that Bitcoin is a decentralised asset. If you are using Bitcoin, you can make payments to anyone in any part of the world as long as the person accepts Bitcoin as payment. To do this, you don't need the help or agreement of a third party, and neither would your identity be divulged to anyone. You can carry out a crypto transaction right on your mobile device without visiting any organisation. So, Bitcoin has really solved a real problem, as I have explained to you. Secondly, Bitcoin has made some people millionaires. Its volatility feature is what some traders have really used to make some profit, and investors who buy and hold Bitcoin are also making profit. However, its strength and possible weakness stem from the same source: its decentralized character. You claim that it protects your privacy, but when people have felt alone, they have often acted badly. What occurred on the opposing side is too important to simply disregard. Its a convenient way to launder cash or pay for illegal activities. Furthermore, despite providing financial independence, the market is simple to play. Big swings in the price of Bitcoin can be caused by "whales," individuals or organizations with a large holdings of the cryptocurrency. So, while technology has liberated us free from the constraints of old banking methods, it has also introduced a whole new set of challenges. |

The reality is that for Bitcoin to become a ubiquitous technology and means of payment, it needs to be integrated into applications and accepted by various companies and institutions in the market. The development and actual adoption of Bitcoin plays an important role in determining its growth rate and spread.
Having a variety of applications and uses of Bitcoin can facilitate the fulfillment of user needs and the creation of real value. For example, the integration of Bitcoin into online payment applications, retail points, financial services and other areas can help expand its use. The spread of Bitcoin, its integration into real-life applications and uses, along with adoption from companies and institutions, is critical and will play an important role in defining the future. of Bitcoin.
We are already heading that way, more and more merchants are adding btc and other top alts in their payment system. It won't be easy, but as long as companies and online merchants are integrating btc, we have hope about this adoption. In order to have this kind of adoption, Bitcoin still needs the government to be open-minded about it. This way people who support Bitcoin and promote it do not need government approval in order to integrate BTC in their payment system or company as long as the government does not think Bitcoin as a negative thing. But it is better if the government acknowledges Bitcoin and its use case and welcomes Bitcoin adoption because it propels the speed of Bitcoin acceptance among its constituents, after all majority of people are still waiting for the government positive signal in order to engage in Bitcoin adoption. The innovative and defining aspect of Bitcoin is that it is decentralized, which is inherently at conflict with the centralized rule of a government. Waiting for official sanction, in fact, might slow Bitcoin's spread. It can cause people to stop thinking outside the box. Instead, we need to concentrate on making Bitcoin transaction platforms that are reliable, safe, and easy to use. We must inform the public of the upsides of cryptocurrency and provide them with the resources necessary to use it safely and effectively. Don't have the government push adoption on the people. |

Lately majority of people find theirselves within the crypto space, but many of them do not really understand the actual reasons for adopting crypto currency other than to make profit, what are your own reasons for adopting cryptocurrency?
I choose cryptocurrencies, specifically bitcoin, I could not compare this currency with the rest, especially for the purpose that it was created, this asset gives me the freedom to a world where you are not controlled by your assets, where you can use them without having to ask permission to withdraw an exact amount since it exceeds the limits established for said transaction, in addition to the fact that the security that bitcoin provides greatly exceeds that of banking entities. All these aspects are what make me choose it, and of course the possibility of saving and increasing those savings considerably... the profits obtained when using BTC cannot be ruled out, in this society money is what moves the world, if it not possible have a sum that allows for stability, we would have to live in constant anguish... can you imagine getting old and not even having a way to buy food, now that you have the opportunity to invest in this technology to be able to have life insurance when you can no longer work, you must make the most of it. I can tell you're putting your faith in Bitcoin due to the freedom and security it provides. However, the extreme volatility of Bitcoin should not be ignored. Its volatile price movements imply both enormous profit margins and the possibility of catastrophic losses. While Bitcoin transactions may bypass certain traditional financial oversight, they are nevertheless subject to audit by the appropriate authorities. As governments throughout the world maintain a closer check on Bitcoin transactions, this "freedom" you speak of may be threatened. Bitcoin provides a lot of security, but you should know that its not bulletproof. Bitcoin holders have previously been the target of hacking attempts, and private key loss is always a possibility. |

No one has the full knowledge of bitcoin, talk more to having an institute that issues out certificate on bitcoin course. Bitcoin is very broad that it can't be learnt for three years. Nobody will care of your certificate if you want to be employed to a company because the employer believes on what you gat in you as bitcoin is not theory but practical especially the programmers and dev. Certificate is only paper and anyone can come up with a certificate on blockchain claiming to be a professional which might not be true. The only one that can have an institute on bitcoin that will be recognized by the world is Satoshi but this is impossible. I will prefer to learn in this forum gradually for a very long time than going to pay for some paper that I don't know if I can grab a lot of knowledge on bitcoin from them.
Given its complexity and ongoing change, understanding Bitcoin is a lifetime journey. Instead, certifications formalize knowledge. Yes, real-world application matters, especially in bitcoin and blockchain. Cant other disciplines say the same? Self-taught programmers can outperform computer science graduates. Isnt the degree merely paper in this context? They offer organized information, networking, and recognition. Satoshi's engagement in a Bitcoin institute would be impressive, but the community's expertise drives Bitcoin. Wouldnt an institute funded by the world's leading Bitcoin engineers, influencers, and thought leaders be just as powerful? |

When BTC reached $69000. I didn't choose to sell it. but the current price of Bitcoin dropped to less than $30000. Is it the most reasonable choice to sell BTC now and turn your attention to other investments? I hope to get some good suggestions. What do your good reasonings tell you? Remember, one principle that guides bitcoin investments or trading at most of that; You buy when the market is low or rising and sell when it's high. Considering where the market is now and that be $29.k from an ATH at $69k, if your to go by that principle, you would find the idea of selling now to be out of place. Bitcoin is down now from the current ATH, yigvemissed the chance to sell and what you supikd be doing now is buying with DCA strategy rather than selling. Selling would mean your losing even though you would be selling to invest in a different commodity. No investment is promising and as such, you could still get to lose. The best for you would be to stick with what you know, what's at hand and before come next bullrun, you might get that chnace to sell if that be your plan towards your hodlings. Always stick into that principle then you should really be just fine but if you do the other way around then you would really be finding yourself on doing the wrong move which is to buy high and sell low. In terms of trading then it would really be just that sensible that you should really be sticking on something that would really be beneficial and not something that would really be giving out some disadvantage. If you have made yourself get caught on the dump then it would really be just that normal that you should really be holding up your position and never ever make yourself make out some cut loss. We know about Bitcoins potential, it might be able to drop which it is really normal for a market to do such thing which time will come that there would really be a recovery. It might be a couple years of waiting but doesnt mean that it wont really be able to reach out those entry point of yours. This is why DCA would be the best or wise thing to be done. Although there are really people who would really be skeptical on doing action because they have already experienced about being that losing their investment initially on which it would really be that surprising that you wont really be making out some further step for you add up your investment. No matter what the price of Bitcoin is, you continue to buy it. With time, you can reduce your investment's sensitivity to market fluctuations. You made a good point by mentioning that. You're right; it takes bravery to hold on during a market decline. However, it is important to remember that Bitcoin has proven its durability on multiple occasions. It can always pick itself up after a fall and clean itself off. There is no reward without pain. The market is a jungle and not for the faint of heart. Even if others cast doubt on you after a setback, remember that the genuine champions are the ones who recover stronger than before. Those who give in to their fears are the ones that end up on the losing end. Remember that its not about trying to time the market, but rather spending time IN the market, and act accordingly. |

I've been where you are - in the trenches of business - and I can tell you that nothing beats having cash on hand. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile, so borrowing money to invest in them is like playing Russian roulette with your money. Lets figure this out. Borrowing $400 at $2 per week in interest for 3 years results in a total interest payment of $312. Now, if Bitcoin's value doesnt soar as you anticipate, all you have left to do is repay a sizable loan. Its all agony and no reward.
There's also the nagging worry of being indebted and the anger at watching your hard-earned cash go into interest rather than a nest egg. Woah, this is perilous! Financial strategy calls for cold hard facts, not wishful thinking. The cryptocurrency exchange is not a game, but rather a war zone. Stay away from the debt trap unless you've thought it through and have a safety net in place.
In finance, as in life, you cant expect anything for nothing. You should always be willing to incur a loss if you want to invest with your own money. If you need to borrow money to invest, don't do it, especially in something as volatile as Bitcoin. Dont be a dunce; use your brain.

Investment in meme coins continues to be very risky. A lot depends when you invested in shiba inu. If you invested on the top of the market you lose your money.
there is nothing wrong with trying to invest in meme coin, because it has been supported by binance, and I'm sure meme coin will have their time back to glory, if you don't dare to try it will be difficult to achieve success. there will always be likes and dislikes, to be able to solve problems with meme coins where there is a shiba inu inside. actually shiba inu has given a very positive thing at first. but with the passage of time, it is not clear that shiba inu, who have a good enough community, can carry out sustainable development. for me whether or not to invest in shiba inu, it must be based on good analysis. because the possibility of getting worse could happen but it could also indeed achieve success. so now it is up to the individual to determine whether they really want to continue investing in shiba inu. while I have invested but not much because I always try to avoid the worst risks later. To answer the question "What defines the success of a crypto?" we need to look at what factors contribute to the success of a crypto. Is it because its a cryptocurrency or because of the prevalence of memes? The story, however, moves forward. The ultimate success of a cryptocurrency is determined by its feasibility, potential for adoption, and capacity to meet market demand. The outlook for the Shiba Inu is gloomy when these issues are considered. The group's spirit of cooperation is admirable. Is there really that much need for it, though? Is its widespread adoption likely? There are now more questions than solutions. Investment decisions, even seemingly frivolous ones like buying a few Shiba Inus, should be grounded in rigorous thought and study. |

I have different vision. I think that NFT hype is over. Like every hype in crypto industry - it lasts for a year, maybe a bit longer maximum. Why do you think that hype isnt over? I see no loud articles in media about NFT, I see no scandals or scams connected with NFTs. People tried to restart NFT hype, when we had news that NFT now are on Bitcoin blockchain. This fact indeed worried a lot of people, as it made blockchain transactions cost more, but right now, one or two month has already passed and only few people remember about it.
The problem of NFTs was that it is easy to buy it, but it is hard to find a buyer. Now people have bought NFTs, and dont know how to sell it. They froze their money and have to wait and observe how values of their NFT go down (and yes, NFT prices went down heavily) or how inflation slowly kills their investment.
NFTs have no real utility other than being purely-speculative assets. Only a small fraction are actually useful. It's hard to turn a profit with your NFT, especially when people quickly move on to the next big thing in crypto. I see NFTs as a passing trend meant to enrich those who get early into the game. Whales and NFT creators are the lucky ones, while the rest are left behind in the dust. The hype will revive itself once BTC turns bullish for an extended period of time. I'm yet to see whenever existing NFTs will become a big hit by the time this happens. I wouldn't suggest you go all in NFTs to help avoid huge losses in the long run. Who knows what will be the next thing to take the crypto world by storm? Just my thoughts  NFTs have value based on ownership and origin, even if they are based on assumption. They made checking, finding, and proving digital differences easier. Speculation drives markets, not just NFTs. Bitcoin and altcoins are mostly dependent on guessing. Not going "all in" applies to all purchases, not only NFTs. NFTs may lead to more blockchain application in art, music, and real estate. NFTs may become more than a fad, however the future is uncertain |

Don't think it is a good idea investing in meme coins rather you can find other altcoins that have very good concepts and invest in them. Although many have made thousands and more from meme coins there are just based on hype most don't have any good concept or a working product.Just don't invest what you cannot afford to lose on meme coins cause anything can happen you can make lots of profits or lose lots of money.
there are so many people who think like what you said, that not to make any investment in meme coins. because meme coins always don't provide benefits or it can't be predicted that it will continue to be successful, it will still be on the stock market later. most coin memes are big because of hype, like doge because of the influence of elon musk, not because of the development that was carried out. but it must also be remembered that doge is indeed an exception, because there are still many who hope that later it will be able to increase during a bull market. even though they also know that they might lose their funds later, they are always willing to speculate for the doges. The value of a meme currency might vary widely. You brought up Dogecoin, which is an excellent illustration of a meme coin that has matured beyond its parody roots. Doge has established itself in the cryptocurrency market thanks to support from Elon Musk and the efforts of its committed community. Dogecoin is an outlier, so keep that in mind. If you're hoping to locate the next Dogecoin in the pool of meme currencies, resist the urge to do so. The crypto world is a jungle, and you'll need to use your wits to survive. |

The speculation, however, seems more rooted in Musk's unpredictable nature than any concrete plans. Until there's an official announcement, all this speculation is just... speculation.
Now about Bakac Coin, the surge of interest its received is not unlike what we've seen with other coins. The early adoption in Russia and subsequent attention in China... it might seem promising. But remember, just because its becoming popular does not guarantee it will become valuable.
My personal opinion? Stick with the proven coins. These new, exotic coins might seem exciting, but investing in them can often turn out to be akin to throwing money into the wind.

Centralization and a public ledger seem at odds in the context of crypto. The absence of a governing body, or "centralization," is crypto's key selling point. Therefore, there may be less demand for a centralized token. Still, the answer is conditional on the nature of centralization and the degree of control exercised.
Distributing tokens by sending them at random to users' existing wallets? Interesting, however fairness issues may arise if tokens are distributed at random, especially if those with larger wallets wind up with a disproportionate share. Perhaps an algorithmic method would work better.
Again, flat transaction fees can have both positive and negative effects. While they may make computations easier, they may also put off customers who rely on little purchases to advance their game.
Last but not least, persistent inflation can discourage long-term investment in the coin by causing its value to gradually decrease. Keep in mind that a cryptocurrency's (or any currency's) stability is essential to its widespread use.

Its the process of permanently rendering tokens worthless by removing them from circulation. Do I have your attention yet? I cant imagine somebody voluntarily doing it.
In a counterintuitive turn of events, token burning can boost the value of unspent tokens. As the quantity of tokens diminishes (through tokens being burned), the value of the remaining tokens may increase, assuming demand remains constant or grows.
Aggressive burning can be used to keep or improve the value of Shiba Inu or any other token. However, keep in mind that this is merely one tactic among several used in projects. Success or failure depends on many other variables, such as the state of the market, the strength of the project's foundations, the level of community support, etc.

Huge. Crypto is still in its infancy in terms of tapping into what it can provide. The future is bright and that should only bode well for the crypto market as a whole. I expect as we get through some of the growing pains the crypto fads will slowly fade as the mainstream shift into things like bitcoin/eth etc.
Crypto has proven as a lot through the years and potential coins have also shown us how it could help us generate promising profit. Even if its on trend or not, most of us have a positive outlook towards it especially top coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum and other potential coins. Of course, there will be ups and downs because of the market's volatilty but it shouldn't be a reason for us to doubt the potential of crypto and see these occurences as a negative thing. We shouldn't just be optimistic when the market is in bullish trend but rather stay positive in any type of market situation. The argument that "crypto is always a good investment" wouldnt sway me one way or the other. The ups and downs of life are not merely obstacles to be overcome on the way to financial success; they may also be steep cliffs off of which your hard-earned cash can plummet. Those who arent prepared can have a tough time in the pandemonium you've witnessed, and you're absolutely right about that. Positive thinking doesnt need blocking out the negative. You need just be alert to their presence. Know the consequences of your actions before you take them. You should not count on getting your money back. Its an exciting endeavor, to be sure, but also one that calls for intelligence, insight, and tolerance. |

No one will exact answer to any coin that has good potentials and besides projects might have all the quality that it needs but yet doesn't do well in the market even after haven listed in exchange, looking at the coinmarketcap today you would see there are some of them that has been delisted due not meeting up to their standard. Why are you even having attention for altcoin while bitcoin is there for you to invest and peace of mind without having to think about the process of development or how the team would implement some nicer feature to attract more investors that may possibly leads to price increase during the bull run.
It may be argued that the challenge and potential payoffs of finding one's way through this labyrinth are part of the appeal. Different altcoins provide novel ideas about how to put the blockchain to work. While some of these initiatives may fail, others have the potential to radically alter how we see banking, government, and even human contact. As for Bitcoin, it is true that it is the pioneer and most well-known digital currency. Its an anchorage amid the rough sea of cryptocurrencies. Isnt it also true that the excitement of sailing and the chance to make new discoveries are things that you wont find in most safe harbors? |

I have never heard,seen or thought about gambling being something that people can use to self-harm. I have met self-harmers but they were usually the physical kind. If a person becomes so clinically depressed that they decide to harm themselves by harming their finances, they could definitely go to a casino and just bet it all on a single game. I have once felt something similar when I lost a lot of money in one bet. I bet a large sum of money again out of a "vengeful" feeling towards myself for losing.
But what kind of prevention help could that person receive before he decided to waste away his life's savings because it was one of the worst days in his life and he was emotionally compromised?
Many forms of self-harm exist. You know, mental and emotional distress can lead to poor behavior like gaming too much. Even if they don't injure themselves directly, financial ruin and worry are self-harm. How to halt anything is complicated. It may require several steps. We need better mental health care. People would act less if they had better access to therapy, counseling, and medicine. Self-exclusion schemes in real-world and online casinos can also prevent excessive gaming. Finally, game addiction has to be better understood. After all, the first step to tackling an issue is recognizing it, right? |

no child will go too far to gamble if their parents pay attention to all the activities that the child does.. for 24 hours, as parents we can't occasionally see the progress of the child and ask him about the days he has been through!!
Every parents will feel bad to see their children gamble at their very young age, but you shouldn’t blaming the parents for not paying attention to their children, I don’t think it’s possibly for a parent to monitor their children’s affairs 24 hours, no matter how strict a parent is, children are always having their own personal life which you will definitely find it very difficult to know. According to the OP the boy is already 22 years old is no longer a kid which you can be monitoring, maybe he is in higher institution and he is not even staying with his parents, so how will he be monitored 24 hours? Seriously both the child and the parents have to be blamed and not only the parents. Still a kid to me even if he was already 22 years old at the time when he decided to end his own life, most kids will mature and will be called men after the age of 25 years old because by that time, they can already feel the responsibility and that their time to play games is already over. Gambling will be their specially if they picked up a habit during their early years but at that same time, they could already tell which is better and how to weight things before they make a decision and most of the time in that age, they will not have the time to think about suicides as they will be busy on something else. Being on age 22 is not really that a kid anymore on which i could say that you are already on the mature side. Even to those who do age 30 or even 40+ do make out some childish acts for sometimes or even doing something which doesnt suit out on their age. As for suicide kind of decision then it is really that having no exemption whether you would be that old or young because on the time that you are on deep stress and being scared on some possible consequence and this is why on the time that they would be seeing that they are on a tight situation and it seems that there's no solution to it, then this is where a certain person would really be deciding on having that decision on taking his own life on which its never been that a good option to do so on which getting yourself killed or suicide because of debt and addiction problem. This is why it would be always recommended that you should really be that avoiding on dealing up with gambling if you do find yourself not really that good when it comes on handling your emotion because on the time that problems would pop out then for sure you would really be ending up on having this situation on which its never been that recommendable because life is valuable and not something that you could just simply suicide because of this. Age is a measure of how much time has passed, but maturity evaluates how much a person has developed. Age is not a reliable proxy for maturity. A 22-year-old can show more maturity and discernment than many people twice their age. Wisdom and maturity are not guaranteed by advancing years. Suicide is a really sad issue to discuss. It is ageless because it has its origins in universal psychological challenges that can affect anyone at any time. Depression and hopelessness are powerful emotions that can force people to make life-altering choices. You make a good case for advising against gambling if one struggles to control their feelings. Its a dangerous hobby with the potential to become addictive and lead to negative results. Doing things that improve your mental health and happiness is always a good idea. |

`
Cheating is the first thing any addict does, whether it's gambling addiction, or alcohol and drugs. And you didn't know that those who can't control their desire to play gambling are being treated in the SAME clinics where drug addicts are put. It is so! From this, a game addict cannot understand at all what he is doing here. He believes that he has nothing to do with all these people, because he is not like that - I write this from the words of gamblers who gave interviews about their treatment. And unfortunately for the first time they are never truthful in their treatment. They cheat and pretend that they want to get well, but in fact they still want to leave here and continue betting. And only by the 3rd time (according to statistics) they REALIZE their problem and realize that "this game is stronger than them." And then comes an absolutely honest treatment and a desire to change. Its true that many addicts, particularly gamblers, are often in denial of their problems. They believe they are different, that they can control their desires - until reality proves otherwise. The science of addiction tells us that addictive behaviors - whether they involve drugs, alcohol, or gambling - trigger the same areas in the brain, giving a reward that leads to a cycle of compulsive behavior. Acknowledging this similarity is important because it shifts the perception of addiction from a moral failing to a health issue. Your point about honesty in treatment is well-taken. True recovery is only possible when the person recognizes the extent of their problem and genuinely wishes to change. This often takes time, and indeed, multiple attempts, but it is possible with the right support and treatment approach. |
