Crypto has been through some serious highs and serious lows over the past decade.
And so have its enthusiasts.
Some are even so hooked that they’re dealing with crypto addiction. And to cater to their needs, crypto addiction luxury rehab centers have popped up – because, of course.
Addiction to crypto is treated like addiction to gambling, and those suffering from crypto addiction display six criteria:
- Salience: Crypto-trading becomes the most important thing in their life and they are utterly preoccupied by it.
- Conflict: Their preoccupation with crypto conflicts with other important things in their life, such as relationships, work or education.
- Withdrawal: They experience withdrawal symptoms when they can’t engage with crypto trading.
- Mood modification: They use crypto trading to change their mood. I.e. if they’ve had a bad day, they use it to feel better.
- Tolerance: Over time, they have to increase how much time a day they spend trading to feel better.
- Relapse: If they give up trading, when they do it again they go back into bad habits.
