Ever thought the stock market might be more than just numbers and trends? In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', comedian David Boyle takes a deep dive into the world of stocks and questions if it's become a modern-day addiction. Boyle shares his own rollercoaster experience with buying bitcoin during lockdown, only to watch its value plummet soon after.

With his usual blend of humor and raw honesty, he compares the frenzy of stock trading to gambling, drawing parallels to the Great Depression when many lost their fortunes betting on the market. Boyle doesn't just stop at his own story. He brings in conversations with friends who are equally engrossed in stocks, highlighting how easy it is to get sucked into the highs and lows of financial investments.

Is the thrill of watching your money grow—or crash—just another form of addiction? Boyle's reflections are both entertaining and eye-opening, making you ponder your own relationship with money and risk. This episode is perfect for anyone curious about the intersection of finance and addiction, or for those who simply enjoy Boyle's candid storytelling.

Whether you're a seasoned investor or someone who avoids the stock market altogether, Boyle's insights offer a fresh perspective on how we handle our money and our vices.
