Addiction to cryptocurrencies
The inclination towards cryptocurrencies is not currently considered a disease. However, some specialists think that an addiction to crypto could be generated, becoming a real problem, since it presents “the typical symptoms of these phenomena: anxiety, depression, irritability, passivity in social relationships, debt, abandonment of work or studies, among others.”
