I don't necessarily dispute most of this but I'll dispute this thought at least to some degree. It just takes time and discipline, as in many years, and many younger people simply don't have the patience for it.

Flip side of that is if they think the whole thing is going to come crashing down anyway so why throw money at a system that is going to crash in their lifetime. Hard to argue against that if that is someone's reasoning.

Sports gambling and frivolous gambling in general has never appealed to me or entertained me.

Bitcoin is not gambling. I've made about $350k off of Bitcoin in the last couple of years.


Congrats on winning. Since that $350K that went into your pocket came from somebody's else pocket as Bitcoin's market value in cash heavily relies on speculation ( new cash inflow), maybe somebody who has been on the wrong end of a crypto wealth transfer exchange will also post here to provide perspective on that other side of the story

I am always conflicted between investing and gambling. Sometimes they feel the same to me.
