Can Betting on Crypto Be Addictive?

Yo, anyone else here get hooked on betting on crypto? Been using leverage instruments from sites like Binance and BitMEX, and it’s been a wild ride; up and down like a damn rollercoaster. But man, got my ass handed to me last night, lost a ton, and felt sick to my stomach. Like, what am I even doing? I know if I don’t get this under control, I’m in for a world of hurt. It’s crazy how addicting this stuff can be, right? It’s like gambling, but with more numbers and less fun. Anyone else feeling me on this? Or am I just losing my mind here? Maybe the real problem ain’t the crypto… maybe it’s us.

Man, I totally get where you’re coming from. I used to bet on stock options (like as recently as last friggin week) and got my ass handed to me more times than I can count. Betting on crypto with leverage? That’s a whole new level of crazy. Sites like Binance and BitMEX make it way too easy to get sucked in.

The ups and downs are brutal. You win big, then lose even bigger. It’s a straight up sickness that messes with your head. I remember nights feeling sick to my stomach, just like you. It’s easy to lose track of reality and think you can beat the system, but trust me, you’re in for a world of hurt if you don’t get a grip on this.

The market doesn’t care about you, and those sites sure as hell don’t. I’d pull money out and block them ASAP.

You’re not losing your mind. This shit is designed to suck you in.

Time to flip the script and take control before it gets even worse. Good luck broseph.

appreciate you, I dropped the trades, keeping the base I’ve got now and will dollar cost average anything from here. Trading crypto is brutal. My heart doesn’t have daily palpitations now is the good news.

Ya I would venture to say that crypto trading can be highly addictive and very similar to gambling in many aspects. The vast majority of “shit” coins and meme coins will be going to zero. If you remember how people went crazy for NFT’s a few years back, and virtually all of those are worthless now.

If you’re here seeking help you came to the right place. Crypto is gambling. Quit now, never look back, and start rebuilding!

Take it from someone who lost it all on stock options which is just as volatile if not more than Crypto.
