Cryptocurrencies are not only technologies and investments, but also a high-risk environment where emotional decisions often lead to losses. Analytical surveys show that about 84% of retail crypto traders lose money in their first year of trading. Moreover, around 58% of newcomers lose almost all their capital within the first 12 months due to a lack of preparation, poor analysis, and 'FOMO' – the fear of missing out on price increases.

📉 Overall in the market, up to 80% of investors are recording losses, facing psychological traps, emotional trades, and a lack of discipline in risk management.

⚠️ This doesn’t necessarily make crypto a ‘game’ in the classical sense, but for many participants, it indeed resembles gambling: quick entries and exits, leverage, hype signals from social media, and a lack of strategy exacerbate the situation.

🚨 Conclusion: crypto can be profitable, but more often it requires knowledge, patience, and risk management — without these fundamental skills, most beginners find themselves in the red within the first year.
