Scottish hospital started to treat people that are addicted to cryptocurrency trading. The special course of treatment was created by the Castle Craig Hospital in Peebleshire for those who are experiencing addiction, while trading crypto.

It is not new that crypto trading can become a highly addictive form of procedure. In those cases traders are constantly looking at the screen to chase even the slightest market manipulation. The course of treatment implements the same methods used to treating gambling addicts.

As noted by Tony Marini, a former cocaine and gambling addict, for some people cryptocurrency trading can be an escape from the realities of the world we are living in these days. They simple prefer numbers and graphs to socializing and living the normal lifestyle.

Currently there is no particular figure that can name the number of trading addicts. However, around 13 mln people are engaged into trading cryptocurrencies.

There has been some discussions in the UK, weather declaring crypto trading may help to dodge the taxes, as in most cases profits from trading are considered a subject to the taxed income.
