"A treatment centre is opening in the Scottish Borders to treat people who are addicted to trading cryptocurrencies."

Don't know why I found this article amusing! Apparently people have become addicted to trading cryptocurrencies..... So much so that there actually exists a rehab for them. They've classed it in the same bracket as drug and gambling addiction.

So after reading the article, enjoy a few meme I found and thought were funny.

Cool dragon. I bought a bunch of the 2oz red dragon coins and when I traded them up for gold, my bullion guy had never seen them.

You have good taste... Can't go wrong with a Welsh dragon.

The one at the beginning on why they think the paper crap in their pocket is legit, but crypto isn’t sure is great. Trying to explain it to those people is a horrible experience. They just don’t get it.

Unless they want to hear, they won't.... What's the old saying? "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink"

A time will come where they will become mainstream.

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

LOL totally enjoyed this @welshstacker!! Doesn't surprise me because trading crypto and gambling are very similar and probably produce the same behaviors in individuals. All it takes is for a person to get hooked and boom just like gambling away the kids college money.
Although, I always viewed crypto like fiat because both are all based on faith. I am different in that way I guess. Thanks for the great post brother!!

Cryptocurrency for me is purely a way to buy more silver. Ive never had an addictive personality so I think I should be ok

Well if you need an intervention, I would gladly take a little steem off your hands. I'm here for you brother. LOL seriously though I can see where is the problem could occur but most stackers are pretty disciplined. We have to rationally know why we're doing something hence the reason we prepped for future events. Thanks again buddy @welshstacker

@welshstacker It is great to hear thats how you see cryptos because I have always considered them that way. I try to let people know that all the reasons people tout about crypto such as decentralization and ownership can be taken away a lot quicker than they think. Either way buddy I am just happy that we have some great platforms to connect with each other. Thanks again buddy!!

I think the picture below would be great for a meme like this.
