The economic consequences are often and most pronounced. Due to frequent losses of large amounts of money, constant loans from family, friends and at the end of taking money from the loaner, the gambler, and his family are beginning to suffer on the financial plan as well.
This is what I saw with my friend, he asked loan to me a couple of times and did pay back most of them but the last one he couldn't pay back because he doesn't have any source of income. I did remind my friend multiple times to quit gambling before giving him another loan because I know he would lose the money quickly. I felt guilty for him because I taught him how to gamble with btc because I always chat him together with my other friends when I brag about my huge wins.
