Cryptocurrency, while far from a safe bet, is still better than actual gambling.
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>So I’m in Vegas for the first time being old enough to gamble, and I thought the slot machines would be at least be as fun as arcade games that spit out tickets or coins. I walked around for a half hour trying to pick one that made any sense (they don’t), and decided to only spend the $4 in cash I had with me at the time. It’s gone. I didn’t have fun. I demand Dave and Busters style gambling! </p> <p>While I have been told many times that cryptocurrency is a very unsafe bet, and that I might as well just straight up gamble. My total return went up $10 last night as I slept. </p> <p>I enjoy being part of they crypto community, I don’t sell at a loss, and while I have made some poor decisions, I ultimately feel well informed and that over time I can at least break even or continue to make small gains.</p> <p>I just wanted to share my perspective. However, I am certainly not providing financial advice. There are worse ways to invest your time and money. And if I somehow hit the jackpot, it still won’t compare to the vast complexities of crypto and all that it offers outside of financial benefits alone.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/QuicklyThisWay"> /u/QuicklyThisWay </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/qz01jj/cryptocurrency_while_far_from_a_safe_bet_is_still/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/qz01jj/cryptocurrency_while_far_from_a_safe_bet_is_still/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
