Cryptocurrency trading addiction is a persistent or recurrent pathological compulsion and obsession to engage in the behavior of investing in or trading cryptocurrencies despite negative consequences to personal and/or professional areas such as financial loss, disruption to relationships, career problems, mental health issues, and other such negative consequences. The volatility of cryptocurrency coupled with the fact that it can be traded 24/7 can result in excessive and regular boosts of dopamine that make it much more addictive than trading other assets such as stocks. Those with frequent exposure to crypto, those who have experienced other addictions, or those who have had problematic gambling experiences are more susceptible to developing an addiction to cryptocurrency trading.
