Addiction to Bitcoin is never too much

[Chinesebaby]

The second image makes no sense, not like the first does, but the second takes the cake for me. It is a stupid thing to try to make people feel 'guilty' for spending their own money, money you think they should have used to buy BTC. To think that gas is on the list, lol, how am i to get to work if i have to use my money for gas to buy BTC, guess whoever is behind that image is jobless.

Yes, you equally have a point about what you said regarding O.P putting gas on the second image above, because how does he expect people who don't have electricity to cook or likewise travel from one place to another if they refuse to buy gas that was meant to be put into their vehicle in investing in Bitcoin. Because inasmuch as investing in Bitcoin is important, we should never deprived ourselves of the basic fundamental needs.  And secondly, apart from gas, there are two other items that ought not to be on that list, namely "Lunch and snacks". Because whoever you think you may be, eating launch daily is very important to keep an individual energized for more work.

I don't think an investor in Bitcoin can be truly addicted to Bitcoin. Where the addiction feel of Bitcoin comes in, is when it is treated like a high leverage casino, instead of it being treated as a currency of value for commerce of hedge against inflation.
When an old Bitcoiner gets so used to the decentralized network and code and system in its entirety and takes advantage of it for everyday transactions and earning, it can't be called addiction.

It's not responsibility of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is only Bitcoin, and it is itself, nothing more nothing less than what Bitcoin is.
But in life and reality, people are very diversifying from their personal traits, knowledge, and practice so some people will choose investment, some others will choose trading. While in either investment or trading, there are people who practice carefully and safely with good risk management while there are the others who do those things very bad and dangerous.

With business, there are legit and trusted companies that can have their services and products around Bitcoin while there are other business that are bad, even scam but again let's emphasize, it's their business and founder responsibility, not Bitcoin's.

You don't need to be addicted to Bitcoin, but all you need is to understand Bitcoin. When you are addicted to something, you will definitely approach it in a way that will affect you, making it difficult for you to handle or achieve good results. I believe getting addicted to Bitcoin means buying Bitcoin without planning, using all your income to buy; this manner of buying is not the right way.

 Understanding is the key that is expected from those who are interested in Bitcoin. Buy and achieve good results from Bitcoin investment because the understanding is there on how one should manage income and the buying of Bitcoin. So, for me, I think addiction means abuse, which brings nothing good when something is being abused.

[Moreno233]

I have a problem with be word "addiction" because in my psyche, it connotes problem, stress and problem and individual must make effort to solve. I have been actively advocating for people to avoid getting addicted to things like gambling, drugs, alcohol and others and this is why I generally see addiction as bad. Even though it may sound good to be addicted to Bitcoin, I still feel it's better to be normal and  and sane when approaching Bitcoin as there is nothing specially addiction will do to a committed and passionate investor.

[Agbe]

There is no need for anyone to be addicted to bitcoin investment and the investor can't even meet up his or her addiction desires of bitcoin because the person needs enough funds to purchase at all time and that is not possible because even the Whales in bitcoin investment are not addicted to it. But they understand the important of bitcoin and invest whenever they have funds for it.

[Somegory]

Even if you can hold Bitcoin for 100 years it's still not any form of abuse, so therefore you can't abuse Bitcoin, sorry.
All you can do with Bitcoin is hold, till your last breath and that's Bitcoin even helping you, not you helping Bitcoin.

You can only abuse yourself, for example if you can't afford to invest in Bitcoin and you force yourself, you are the one feeling the pain and heat, you are the one facing the punishment.

That is you doing too much all because you want to buy Bitcoin, it has nothing to do with. Bitcoin but everything to do with you.

[Felicity_Tide]

Here it is again, Bitcoin, being the only addiction everyone is permitted to have, because it gives you freedom and profitability at the end.

Freedom and profitability are two words that completely oppose the meaning of addiction. You might want to look up the meaning of addiction. I think the idea of addiction is a bit over exaggerated for something like Bitcoin especially when you're looking to make profits and gain the financial freedom like you said. Cars makes transportation a bit convenient, so having it doesn't make it an addiction.

Bitcoin has been part of our daily activities in such a way that a day will not pass without us getting engaged in Bitcoin in one Way of the other, for sure we all know that this is not time wasted because there is always a profiting aspect of it that we all stand to benefit at the end, this is where each day everyone of us has something to do regarding the use of Bitcoin.

It's still kind of weird to generalize it, considering the fact that most people don't interact with Bitcoin the way others do. And, in this particular context, I would prefer to use 'culture', rather than 'addiction'. But how about we just leave Bitcoin the way it is?. imo, it's not something we can get addicted to... Bitcoin is just Bitcoin.

[Majestic-milf]

 So let's assume you're saying being addicted to holding Bitcoin isn't too much, then it's true. Using Michael Saylor and others who are literally obsessed with it even though it has its drawbacks, as an instance, but then again, what profitable investment won't come with risks?
 Although there hasn't being any medical or public health report that has placed Bitcoin as an addiction, but those who trade with it without a certain limit of control can find themselves getting addicted. Bitcoin has the potential to make one rich but can be a mean SOB if you don't know what you're doing or haven't made a proper finding about it.

Haha, addiction of Bitcoin ( DCA ) is the only one i could approve and be okay with. As we know addiction of any thing or any kind is bad but I dont see anything bad with Bitcoin’s addiction unless someone only invests and doesn’t use that money even after many surges. Apart from that DCA is the only addiction we should have as it brings enormous financial perks, saves up your money and gives you profits on it if you wait long enough. This is a meme that says the ultimate truth.

I always think that all forms of addiction is certainly bad, especially when our finances are involved, and bitcoin is never an exception.

Yes, it can make you highly profitable in the long run, but before reaching that point, I'm sure you also pay the price first, like taking a loan to sustain consistent bitcoin accumulation, working overtime to have extra pay for bitcoin, and most probably setting aside your basic needs so you can spend it instead into bitcoin.

In the long run, you end up profitable, but you also compromised your time, energy, and personal allowance, and even ruin your mental and emotional health just to be successful with bitcoin investment. So for me, bitcoin addiction is still not worth it, and shouldn't be tolerated.

Here it is again, Bitcoin, being the only addiction everyone is permitted to have, because it gives you freedom and profitability at the end.

Freedom and dependence don't go well together. And this dependence is officially permitted in few countries.

I like the deep (up to the nostrils) message of this picture. Does this remind of someone? Isn't this the famous guy who likes to accumulate bitcoins using borrowed money?

Bitcoin has been part of our daily activities in such a way that a day will not pass without us getting engaged in Bitcoin in one Way of the other, for sure we all know that this is not time wasted because there is always a profiting aspect of it that we all stand to benefit at the end, this is where each day everyone of us has something to do regarding the use of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin should never be the meaning of life, as it's merely a tool (financial) that can help improve your life and achieve your goals. Stop praying to bitcoin as if it were a deity.

[AprilioMP]

I believe the owner of account x, who was used as the subject of this topic, is simply their own opinion, even though their account has a blue checkmark.
Addiction, in general, is a dependency that requires something to exist. Otherwise, it becomes a serious problem. Bitcoin, as electronic cash for transactions, may not reach that point. Even if Bitcoin is used as a long-term investment asset, it could still reach the point of not having to exist, depending on one's financial capabilities.

[Orpichukwu]

You might not see addiction in bitcoin, but to me, there is a limit to which one can be investing in bitcoin. If it got to the point where you no longer care about yourself and family, that's abuse, and I consider it an addiction. Buying bitcoin aggressively to some extent is good; just overdoing it is what I can't support.

[Finestream]

Addiction to bitcoin is not all an advantage after all. In fact, it can be highly detrimental and can still lead to financial, physical and psychological harm. However, I understand the fact that it could also create a deeper motivation for us to seriously acquire, trade or hold bitcoin until future profits become visible, but tolerating such addiction can also lead to emotional, impulsive decisions that could result in significant financial loss.

I still prefer to treat bitcoin normally like what other discipline bitcoiners are doing. After all, there is no competition with bitcoin, we can still be profitable and even get rich with bitcoin if we are responsible enough in managing our time and finances to maximize positive bitcoin results.

[Rruchi man]

Here it is again, Bitcoin, being the only addiction everyone is permitted to have, because it gives you freedom and profitability at the end.

I don't think it is worth it to endanger your health for an investment in bitcoins. For instance, being malnourished because you are trying to keep up your investment in bitcoins or skipping proper medical care because you don't want to spend money on it as you are focused on investing in bitcoins even if it will cost you your life. That is an unhealthy addiction to bitcoin to have because if you die, all the bitcoins you are accumulating become useless and possibly lost if you did not plan for it, or even squandered by your next of kin if you made plans for them to have your bitcoins after your death.

[Z-tight]

And secondly, apart from gas, there are two other items that ought not to be on that list, namely "Lunch and snacks".

I only used 'gas' to support my points, nothing at all should be on the list. As a matter of fact, there should be no such list. It is stupid to tell people 'hey, you shouldn't have bought that, you should have spent the funds on BTC', next you'd be telling them to spend their kids tuition on BTC, because they are addicts, lol.

[leonair]

We can easily understand what you are trying to talk about, but bitcoin is not what someone can abuse, so it is not an addiction if you are using bitcoin to trade or if you hold it. I am not talking about bitcoin or crypto trading using bitcoin as pairs, I mean if you are using it to buy things and also accepting it from people that want to buy something from you. But it is very distinct that if you hold bitcoin, you will make profit from it.

When someone takes something seriously, they become addicted to it. Meanwhile, I don't think it's bad to take Bitcoin seriously. If a person is addicted to Bitcoin and keeps buying and holding Bitcoin, I will appreciate his addiction. Holding Bitcoin will never cause a loss, it is a good investment, so if someone takes Bitcoin seriously, it will give him a much better future. However, there is a risk here if someone trades with high leverage without holding Bitcoin with a small amount of money. In this case, since the price of Bitcoin is not stable and its price goes up as well as down due to correction, if he cannot do good analysis, he will lose. If he has such an addiction, then it will definitely be bad for him and it will cause his financial loss.

Is there anyone that people would say they're addicted to money? Everyone needs money, is looking for money, and wants to earn money on a daily basis. That's how you can see Bitcoin, but not addiction to Bitcoin in its actual sense or real meaning. Since we need money and cannot reject it because of its roles, this is undoubtedly how Bitcoin is important: we are attached to it, and in this 21st century, any Bitcoin enthusiasts who understood Bitcoin barely will live outside Bitcoin.

[Obim34]

There is no need for anyone to be addicted to bitcoin investment and the investor can't even meet up his or her addiction desires of bitcoin because the person needs enough funds to purchase at all time and that is not possible because even the Whales in bitcoin investment are not addicted to it. But they understand the important of bitcoin and invest whenever they have funds for it.

I don't see the need to be addicted to Bitcoin, even nature condemns overfeeding, even while food and drinks are good for the body. Invest in Bitcoin with an available/affordable amount, secure and protect your investment, pick the right cash out date, and stay true to holding, no doubt your investment will produce very good return, I don't need the whole Bitcoin in the world for me to be satisfied.

[BABY SHOES]

I wouldn't subscribe to looking at any form of investment in bitcoin to be associated with addiction because addiction generally depicts something negative that posses harm to an investor and so, bitcoin isn't one of an addictive thing.

Investment is a must to increase the value of our wealth in the future... about bitcoin addiction, this is indeed an inappropriate word, for me the definition of addiction is something that leads to danger.

To better put it, we can say that investing in bitcoin is never too much because there's no amount of bitcoin that an investor possesses that's too much for a single investor to hold. And again, being Hungery to hold more bitcoin only suggest that you're eager to grow and not that you're doing to much. As long as You're not investing without a proper plan in place, investing much in bitcoin is more of a good to the investor than anything bad.

I also do not overestimate bitcoin even though I have received many benefits, especially the benefits that can be obtained, bitcoin is an investment asset that is worth fighting for in the sense that for me this asset will continue to grow so it needs sufficient or large investment as long as it does not become a burden for you.
