More clinics are offering services to help crypto addiction. But how bad is this emerging problem? Not everyone can agree.
If you think that there is about 3% of the U.K. population addicted to gambling, then in my estimation, there is roughly 5% with a problem with crypto. It’s more volatile and exciting than gambling. We are seeing more and more people with a problem year on year.
