I agree with you here. There is nothing more important than an investment that is risk-free and where emotions are not attached.
it's either one is ignorant of it or intentionally ignored the obvious signs of risk but basically in bitcoin investment we are only on a better angle of not gambling our investments but staking it for the future which we are guaranteed for with the four years circle that we know.
At Churchillvv, staking bitcoin on a centralized exchange is not a good practice for a long-term investor; you are already gambling with your bitcoin if you do so, and you can lose your bitcoin to a centralized exchange if something bad happens at the backend before your staking maturity period reaches because it's not your key, not your coin. It is only when you hold bitcoin in your self-custodial wallet that you are guaranteed that your bitcoin is safe because only you have access to it. I don't know why some investors who have spent so many years accumulating bitcoin will want to risk their bitcoin for a few dollars or rewards in return.
