I'm awful at investing and trading, but I enjoy writing and being on steemit has provided lots of inspiration for writing for me personally.
Gains through gambling can be controlled to an extent also. I love to play craps, but I learned a long time ago that to have success, I had to set limits. When I would go to the casino, I'd determine how much money I was prepared to lose, and if I hit that, I would quit and leave. But I also determined how much I wanted to win, and if I hit that, I would also leave the casino. It has worked quite well for me overall. Setting limits and sticking to them, for both winning and losing are key.
The fundamentals of self control, limits, emotion and greed is like identical between crypto and gambling LOL
Your strategy for playing craps is also identical to my crypto "investing" strategy! I guess there's good reason many of my friends tell me I'm not investing, I'm just gambling haha
Yes, they do run in close proximity! 😉
