I read a news yesterday about a Spanish rehab center that is called 'The Balance', a Switzerland-founded wellness center, located in Spain. The Rehab center helps in treating of alcohol, drugs and behavioral health addictions. Recently it is adding trading addiction to its list and I was surprised to see that. You can read more about it:

Trading and gamble are different but the effect of losing money in trading and gambling are like the same. If you make more money in trading, your reward center in your brain will motivate you to trade more, just like in gambling. The result will be loss at the end because of trading or gambling more than necessary. In both, if you are losing, you will be chasing your losses.

Some people will become addicted just like in gambling because of how trading is.

Option trading is riskier and it is not spot trading but derivative trading. Even in spot trading, someone can be addicted. Derivatives trading are far riskier.

Yes, you wrote a rather important and interesting thing, which I have not thought about yet. This is that, unlike a casino, the market offers us different entry points: at the bottom, in the middle of the trend, as well as at any other part of it, while in a casino and betting there is absolutely no such concept.
And this is one of the very many factors in trading that a person has who is going to trade cryptocurrencies using money and his mind as a tools.
