Greed arises after winning the first time and thinking, I could win more if I gamble more. In the end, gambling is a trap for those who want more, a trap for people who are not using smart of their winnings, it goes back to the casino where it comes.

I've heard a story about our country that won the jackpot prize, it is a huge money but after a few months, all of it was gone including his assets and it is because of a wrong spending habit. And this will certainly happen to all the winners if mismanaged, it will turn to dust too quickly. Easy money, easy to lose as well.

It doesn't matter to know the exact number of holders, the most important is that the number of investors/holders is quite growing fast. It means that there is a huge market appreciation happening already and people see the benefits from Bitcoin. In the next couple of years from now, it possibly tripled (or more) its numbers.

We're not sure someday we'll get accurate data or that is still impossible because a single person can create multiple wallet addresses. Perhaps, they are anonymous, we never owe them to let us know.

I can go off gambling even if I don't win and any time. Those who can't make it are those gamblers who are already addicted but if you are a responsible gambler, there is no such thing as "retirement", we can stop whenever we want.

We have to note that gambling is not a job that we have to stay long. If we just wait to hit the jackpot prize before leaving gambling, we possibly spend our whole life in gambling and I can't really imagine doing that --maybe you?

Perhaps, it was normal because that is what they heard from social media influencers and think that they could make a profit too easily. That is how they brainwash beginners and a pretty working strategy. In fact, that is what I thought before until I experienced how difficult to become a trader in real life.
As we have been brag by some people showing huge income from trading (which was not their money), the more we become aggressive to trade and even the lack of knowledge, we still push ourselves to do it.

Somehow we realized that not all we see on social media are true, most of them are fake. That is why we have to help ourselves not to fall into greed or else, we are like those people who suffer losses first before knowing the truth.

Once we fall into addiction, that eventually ruins our reputation and relationship with others. The common reason is unsettled debts. This very shameful act by most gamblers who have not thought anymore to recall their promises.

Addiction has a huge impact on mental and physical which is why notice sudden changes in their behavior and the way they talk, and usually have a high temper. Because a gambler who have fallen into addiction can no longer determine who they are as in their mind is to gamble.

To avoid losing a lot, one must have to go deeper and understand the market behavior.
Upon trying to trade with ZERO knowledge we are just like going to gamble and hoping for luck, not a chance. With the unpredictable trend of the market, one simply it needs to have deep knowledge and it is highly required in trading, or else, better not to pursue it because it only leads to sad ends. 

Knowing to buy and knowing to sell is not enough for me. TA and other trading tools are somewhat important because this is the way it help to improve our profitable chances.

We still have time, take this chance to fully prepare before the bullish finally started to buy accumulating and only hold potential coins, not shitcoins. It is not the number of coins we have held but the quantity and quality they have because this is the ticket to a successful investment. Diversifying not growing coins to more valuable ones like in BTC, ETH, and BNB would be the right decision.

In fact, I already did this before the end of 2023 while the price of these coins I've mentioned are still cheap and I keep doing this before the bull season comes.

The only way to avoid these scammers is not to communicate with strangers especially on social media platforms. Because these scammers will target our weakness and they are known to have such skills. With the use of their communication skills, many will surely fall into their traps.
That is why we have to analyze the situation first before making a decision and keeping in mind that scammers are around us, they will do their best as well to have a victim. Trust no one aside from yourself. We can't fall into scams if we keep ourselves aware of the situation and consider everyone as a scammer.

Preparation - that is all that we need in order to succeed. And I hope that OP is also patient enough because success doesn't come instantly.
Indeed, trading is profitable when the market price is moving or during the bull season and this year seems to be a good day to start building a trading career. Having adequate knowledge and huge capital, not too far from gaining success especially when he is focused on his goal. 
 - with the right timing and a positive mindset certainly, it all went so well. But just as I said, OP must not on a hurry to earn such recognization as it comes with time and hard work.

Every time I withdraw my income in crypto, it always pops up and gives a warning about the fees I use  --50% higher, 40% higher. Frustrating is really what we feel but should we have another option if layer 2 is not supported on our receiving wallet? We don't aside from waiting for it when it drops a little, at least we save some.

Good thing that congestion these days isn't as bad as in the past days, we can transfer our funds at $3-4, which seems acceptable for now. But still, the majority, especially for small investors want to get back to normal where can just spend less than $1 on its top priority.

Let us put into this situation...
There is a rich person who gambles $10,000 while there is a poor person who just gambles $1,000. Let us assume if they all had lost their bets, who do you think had lost a lot? It is the rich person, right?

Rich people can gamble more without worrying whether they lose or not but poor people can't, they are pursuing to win and chasing their losses. That is why these poor people are usually seen gambling because they can't afford to lose, yet they are just spending a small amount which is still small compared to rich people who gamble once a week with the amount of $10,000. How much more if they are gambling every day?

Then I would say that you should be careful on those sites that offer such a thing because most of them are totally scams, you will just find it out later when already trust them. Of course, they will offer attractive wins to catch the attention of the gamblers while established casinos no longer look for new gamblers instead, they will protect their old gamblers and remain using their platform.

For me, it doesn't matter if the reward is not huge at least, I was into the platform that offers a fair game.

Not just most of the time but always, when the distribution of rewards happens, it dumps after because all participants are in a hurry and dumping their tokens as they are aware that the next thing happens the value of their tokens will turn $0. Not just panic selling but they are in the race not to get caught from low value after a couple of days of release.

If we think holding them is the best option, we are only wasting our time for them because these shitcoins can no longer be valuable in the future .

That is very common and human nature, only a few people blame themselves compared to blaming others.
All things that happen to us are the result of our doings and decisions, and if lose our money as we are gambling, it is because we do it in the wrong way. In fact, nobody urges us to gamble but it is our willingness and desire that pushes us to spend money. Whether we lose or not, it is our decision, nobody is involved.

Blaming always happens when we lose but if we win, never even say thank you.

We'd rather not gamble if we think about how much we lose as I believe we are not desperate enough but rather think of a way to win.

Gambling responsibly is very important not just to avoid big losses but also, we are controlling ourselves from being greedy. Many gamblers think that if we gamble more, we are increasing our chance of winning. Well, that can be true but not all the time because this will also increase our chance of losing. That is why we should stick to our plan and the said limitations.

 - Have a reason and main goal. Reaching the finish line is not impossible.
These are probably the reasons why most traders fail --doubtful, lack of self-confidence, and knowledge.

That is why we have to ask ourselves what we want to achieve. Because our actions will also lie on what we want to reach. Now, if we don't have a clear target or goal, we certainly go in the wrong direction and fail.

However, it was not just knowing the simple tips but also, it is how we work on our goal. Many are aiming to become successful in trading but guess what, they are impatient and lazy to learn new things.

Do the odds really matter in betting? I may not and I don't weigh that much as a bettor, I'd choose the team that likely wins the game, it doesn't matter to me if the odds are high or low as I still vouch for the team I like the most. Or maybe I'm wrong but this is what I did for my best otherwise, I have to experiment with another strategy.

But yeah, doesn't all the time we win, losses still happen. However, I don't think it was regrettable in the sense that I enjoy watching the game and betting at the same time on my favorite team.

Tried to keep calm and never check your portfolio every day. I will tell you OP that emotions can be triggered if you keep checking your investment, it will bother you too much and make you think negatively instead, of focusing on holding. The market is naturally will pump and pump, don't get too attached within and stop being too emotional because that will lead to making wrong decisions and panic selling. That is why investing in crypto needs patience, courage, and of course, trust. If we are investing in usable projects then we have nothing to worry about, might it dump today but certainly be rising back again.

Well, forget about earning money from airdrops, they couldn't help you.

I'm gonna tell you OP that investment needs money, there is no free for now. To pursue your dreams, what you gonna do is to find a job and use your salary to invest. As you can see, rich people become richer because they have money already to make more investments, that is the advantage but if you just think the airdrops will give you that chance, it is very impossible.

Sometimes we blame ourselves as we were born poor but if we work hard, we can still improve our living. There are a lot of jobs online, in fact, a lot of people are doing this, and you can try them.

Honestly, I couldn't believe it --nothing happens in real life and I believe that there are no mathematical calculations that support it other than luck. In order to increase your winning chance in the lottery, you will also buy more tickets but if we think it is because of the said calculation, that is somewhat unbelievable.

In fact, so many people got into the lottery and even spent thousands every day but still got unlucky. Some people will say that their manipulation lottery especially when managed by the government.
