What are your thoughts?
Depends. If the goal you set yourself is realistic, you won't have any problems. However, if you go to the casino with $100 and you expect to walk out with $100,000 because you think it's the only solution to your miserable life, it's easier when you lose the $100 to take out another $100, or $1,000 or borrow it or whatever.
$100 invested in Kaspa months ago is now six figures, I am not saying that all crypto investment are like this but I will rather take my chances with something that's likely to happen than gambling, $100 is too high for gambling even if I am making thousands in a month, this is just common sense, gambling is wired to be unfair to gamblers.
My advice is it is better not to have your mind on hitting the jackpot as a gambler, you will start misbehaving sooner or later, expectations over expectations, winning is not a must in gambling, lower your expectations, risk very little amount.
