The biggest lesson I've learned while investing in crypto (bitcoin to be specific) is somehow related to what you've mentioned — that in life, you must learn to gamble. I learned how to risk something for a possible exchamge of something better . I realized that always playing safe and staying in your comfort zones won't give you sigmificant changes. Yes! You are moving but not as fast as it seems. It also teach me that failure js normal and you should nver be afraid of because the important thing is you stand up and fight again .
