Really it will become just like gambling, addictive and manipulative, it's very much like poker only if you are an expert you can accomplish something
This is also a remind for myself, sometime I would like to trade again but I remember the bad experiences I had with it and stop
Cryptocurrency trading is unpredictable and mostly technical analysis while gambling has fixed odd system for all major games and I believe that crypto trading is not another kind of gambling.
Bad experiences are part of trader's education and those mistakes you've made will make you wiser in the future. If you really want to become a successful trader then accept every bad experience, learn from it and continue trading.
