Addicted to Bitcoin: The Cryptocurrency Rehab Center




Ever since the bitcoin boom of late 2017, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Ripple, and even DogeCoin have made their way into the mainstream. But for some predisposed to addiction, the volatility of trading cryptocurrency can sometimes become a dangerous obsession.

In this episode of Transmissions, Motherboard goes to Castle Craig Hospital in Scotland, a rehabilitation facility that recently added treatment for cryptocurrency addiction to its gambling rehabilitation program intended to help those struggling with betting specifically on (unstable) digital currencies.

  1. you get addicted when your manager is good,just like mine Mr Adams you can trade with him as low as $200 and get a minimum of $1300

  2. Interesting, although where does the border lie between simply being "a good trader" (who can make his/her living off of btc / market trading) and gambling/ addiction… if you are able to trade profitably with little effort and are making "free money" off trades wouldn't that be quite logical if you had the skills to do it unemotionally?

  3. We don't need any indicator to trade Cryptocurrencies. All you need is to meet contact the best trade analyst, like Mr. Darren Allan because he provides a high level insight you can't get elsewhere. He sees thing on a whole another level to the vast majority of commentators, ( lots of people out there ) and conveys the big picture behind Cryptocurrency revolution and how it is unfolding giving the every trader the opportunity to take maximum advantage of the Market especially at this time the market seems to be dwindling. Although I have seen some of his videos but they are not as informative as talking to him directly through his email: << darrenallan82@gmail .com >> .The strategy he provided has earned me $15,500 in just two weeks despite Cryptocurrency market fluctuations. If you are earning less I advice you talk to him and if you are earning higher please share your strategy with me. Thanks.

  10. Nice video, should i say i was once addicted to bitcoin, that was when i started bitcoin trading as a newbie.. i lost almost everything trading bitcoin falling into bull traps consistently, but not until i met Mr Graham Robinson, the best trade manger in bitcoin trading, he started handling all my trades and within 1 month i regained all my previous losses added with some extra wins.. ever since he has been trading on my behalf.. i am so happy i met him and also all thanks to Mrs Helen for referring him.

  11. As a compulsive gambler I crashed and burned after blowing a large 401k cashout and was up for 4 days straight gambling the whole time and trying to hide it from my family. I spent 2 months in a facility not wildly unlike what’s pictured here. I think the reality of gambling addiction is harsh for those who haven’t gone that deep. I can relate to a lot of this. And I used to use bitcoin as an alternative to being in a casino or being in front of a video lottery machine. Thanks for doing this segment.

  12. This is not a Bitcoin addiction, this is a gambling addiction, do you specify what type of fruit machines other compulsive gamblers play, using Bitcoin to sensationalise it is weak to say the least.
