It’s not even about religion or anything. It’s mostly a waste of time and money, just like any other addiction. The same thing can be said about any addiction - drugs, alcohol, hookers, whatever it is. Spending money on it all is just a short term pleasure and nothing else, while others enjoy your money. The question is are you willing to give something up for BTC? I wouldn’t give my beer up for a BTC because I drink it occasionally just for enjoyment. I just know that by giving up some of the stuff I most often consume, I won’t feel life as enjoyable anymore. You could also give up eating the things you like, driving the car you want, drinking soda, going to the pool, going in vacantion etc. But while your BTC wallet grows, how will you feel?
