@Baron @johnarb You know who you are... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-64245669 Excerpt: "The treatment for crypto addiction is similar to other addictions," says Anna Lembke, a psychiatry professor at Stanford University and chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. "It's a biopsychosocial disease so it requires a biopsychosocial intervention: medications in some cases, individual and group psychotherapy, changing habits and environment, (or) implementing healthier replacement activities." But, she adds, the cost is not always justified. Experts like her argue that it's akin to gambling and should be treated as such. "They are making money off desperate people," says Lia Nower, director at the Centre for Gambling Studies in Rutgers School of Social Work. "Whether you're 'addicted' to trading crypto, betting on sports, or playing the lottery, your symptoms and treatment will be largely the same." Like other addictions, treatment for crypto addiction should begin with abstinence and managing withdrawal symptoms - which could include anxiety, irritability and insomnia, Ms Lembke said. "No crypto trading or viewing for at least four weeks, which gives the brain a chance to reset reward pathways. The [withdrawal] symptoms are usually time-limited and can be managed with emotional support and reassurance that they will eventually go away."
lol, same could probably be said for those constantly reposting from the subreddit buttcoin. Enjoy your yuks now, maybe crypto dies, maybe it becomes the landscape of zombie coins, maybe btc goes to zero, maybe btc rules them all. The show is hardly over and the fat lady has yet to sing. Frankly, addiction has more to do with an individual than any means to fuel the addiction.
That's the beauty of crypto, it's virtual, it doesn't really exist, so you can't actually step in it.
