If You’re Under 25, Crypto Might Ruin Your Mental Health – Here’s Why!
Hi Binance Family!
Today I want to talk about something that shook me while scrolling through crypto forums late at night. I came across stories of young people—teenagers, even college dropouts—who started their crypto journey with dreams of Lambos and financial freedom, but ended up depressed, broke, and worse… completely lost in life.
Let me share the brutal truth: **if you’re under 25 and diving deep into crypto without control—**you’re walking on a mental health landmine.
1. Constant Dopamine Triggers
Trading gives instant highs and devastating crashes. Your brain gets addicted to those green candles. And when the market turns red, so does your mood. Studies show 74% of young traders experience symptoms of anxiety or sleeplessness during high-volatility periods (Source: CoinTelegraph Psychology Report 2023).
2. False Sense of Identity
Many young people tie their self-worth to their portfolio. They stop living in the real world. One Reddit user wrote: “I lost my first $10k and started hating myself—like I was worthless without a winning wallet.”
3. Isolation and Burnout
Spending hours tracking charts, avoiding social life, rejecting job opportunities because “crypto will make me rich”—it all leads to loneliness and burnout. Some users on X have even admitted to suicidal thoughts after rug pulls.
Crypto is powerful. But without emotional balance, it’ll consume you.
If you’re under 25, build a life first. Let crypto be part of your journey—not the whole ride.
