Are you a crypto gambler? Here are 10 questions.

Please answer honestly with “Yes” or “No”. If you have 4 or more “Yes” answers, then bad news: you are not a trader, but a gambler.

Do you often spend more time or money on crypto trading than planned, or find yourself needing to bet bigger to get the same excitement?

Have you ever tried to reduce or stop trading crypto but couldn’t, and felt restless or irritable when attempting to quit?

Are you overly obsessed with the crypto market? Even late at night, during work hours, or while with family, do you constantly check prices, plan trades, or dwell on past profits and losses?

Is your crypto trading a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions?

After a loss, do you trade more to “recoup” or quickly recover your losses, chasing trades?

Have you ever hidden your trading limits from family, friends, or others, or concealed your trading activities?

Has crypto trading caused problems in your social relationships, work, studies, or financial situation (e.g., leading to debt, borrowing money, or being unable to pay bills)?

To focus on trading, have you neglected hobbies, social activities, or self-care?

Have you taken bigger risks without proper research, or misappropriated funds meant for living expenses (like household bills) to trade?

Despite knowing it is harming your mental health (such as increasing anxiety, mood swings) or causing physical issues (like insomnia), do you continue trading?
