True. But this is a more accurate analogy.
Instead of being gambling, like you walk into a casino and sit down at a backjack table with $1000, and where the house has a slight edge over you, therefore over a long enough amount of time of playing you're assured of losing, with the odds of winning being roughly 50/50 in the shot term, this is more what investing in crypto is like right now...
You walk into a casino and sit down at the blackjack table. Once every 4 years there is a period of about 6 - 12 months where when you play blackjack, as long as you keep playing for the whole 6 - 12 months, you're almost guaranteed to win, and not just win, but win 5 - 20 times your investment on average.
Now while you don't know that this golden period of winning is definitely going to happen this time around, it has done every 4 years prior like clockwork, and not only that, the reason for this winning period isn't just a random thing - it's the result of a mechanism of how the casino fundamentally operates.
Sure, you're sitting down to a blackjack table in a casino still, but right now you're sitting down to a table where for once you actually have a significant edge over the house.
Cling on to your fiat currency instead of heavily investing into crypto over the coming 12 months at your peril. Only one of them is under tremendous structural strain globally in 2020/2021 and it's not the one that has a finite supply that has the amount given out to users cut in half every 4 years, it's the one that just got mass produced on an unfathomable level and thrown into the general population indiscriminately.
Don't get stuck in the status quo mindset.. the USD, and by proxy the mainstream global financial market, is in serous fucking trouble.
