The truth that newcomers to the crypto market do not want to hear
Trading is a financial strategy. But for many, it has long become a game of chance, where adrenaline is more important than analysis, and the hope for 'multipliers' is stronger than logic.
The resemblance to gambling is not a fantasy. The market promises quick profits but often delivers debts, sleepless nights, and the false belief: 'One more trade — and I'll recover my losses.'
Let's recall at least three loud examples:
• $LUNA — from soaring to crashing in a matter of days. Thousands of players held positions even when everything was plummeting. Why? Because 'it has to bounce back!'.
• $PEPE — a meme coin that made millionaires… and bankrupted even more. Some entered at the right time, but most did so at the peak, hoping for another surge.
• $SOL (Solana) — from $250 to $8 and back to growth. Speculators entered at the highs, caught the lows, flipped, burned… and entered again.
Trading ceases to be an investment when decisions are made based on emotions rather than strategy. When a player chases profit while ignoring risks. When every candle is a blow to the nervous system.
The line between trading and gambling is thin. A true professional is not one who 'caught the trend,' but one who knows when to stop.
Are you still a trader — or already a player?
The answer lies in the mirror. And in your portfolio.
