Why can gamblers never quit gambling?
In the early morning, I took Didi with two female passengers—she was just heading home after staying up all night gambling. One woman said that last night she lost six or seven thousand.
She said that at first she only bet a hundred or two hundred, but she kept losing. Then she started betting three or five hundred, and she was still losing. So she began betting a thousand at a time—she ended up losing six or seven thousand in a single night. After thinking it over, she said that it’s because you bet too little that you lose; if you bet big enough, you can win back a little in one win.
She also said she came specifically by taxi from the neighboring town to gamble. In 2024, she had already lost 10w. Then she talked at length about mahjong. I watched her look at gambling, and I guess she won’t be long before she goes into worse things.
Betting too little is why she loses; as long as you bet big enough, you can win back a little in one win. There’s already no saving her.

Liquidity above 2350 was tapped before a sharp sell-off, confirming distribution and continuation lower. Weak bounces and consistent lower highs suggest sustained sell pressure unless price reclaims broken resistance.

These days, altcoins in the crypto world can be described as wildly volatile, with occasional tenfold increases. RAVE, manipulated by the whales, saw its price surge dozens of times over a few days. Although most of these rises end in crashes, such momentum still attracts many aggressive investors hoping for the next "RAVE."
Taking advantage of this hype, some project teams are frantically harvesting profits. FF started at $0.07 on the early morning of the 11th, surged to $0.18 within an hour, then plummeted. The current price is only $0.07786, leaving late buyers trapped.
INX is even more outrageous. After doubling in price, the team directly sold $400k worth of tokens to unlock more, causing the price to halve. And they didn't even bother to hide it; on-chain data clearly shows the project team dumped tokens.
Both of these are "star projects" that previously raised huge amounts of funding—FF raised $20 million, and INX secured $65.3 million.
They should be focusing on building a solid ecosystem, but instead, they rely on scams and dumping to drain liquidity, which is truly disgusting.
Retail investors, stop betting on catching the next RAVE. Tokens that are deliberately pumped are all traps. Only by protecting your principal and staying away from altcoins can you survive in the crypto space.

(FSA) Previously regulated cryptocurrencies under the "Funds Settlement Act," using payment methods as the basis for supervision.
As the investment purposes of cryptocurrencies continue to expand, the proportion of users holding them for profit has significantly increased, and the current regulatory framework can no longer effectively protect investors' rights and interests.
Against this background, the Financial Services Agency has decided to transfer the regulatory framework to the "Financial Instruments and Exchange Act," placing cryptocurrencies on equal legal footing with stocks, bonds, and other traditional financial products, and related industry players will also face compliance standards similar to traditional financial institutions.
This transition also brings Japan's cryptocurrency regulatory structure closer to the mainstream financial regulations of major G7 economies.
Core provisions of the amendment: strengthened obligations and upgraded penalties
Main changes in this amendment include:
Insider trading ban: Explicitly prohibit the use of material non-public information for cryptocurrency trading, filling gaps in current law.
Annual information disclosure obligation: Cryptocurrency issuers must regularly disclose financial and business information to regulators and investors.
Change of operator name: Registered operators are officially renamed from "Cryptocurrency Exchange Operators" to "Cryptocurrency Trading Operators."
Enhanced criminal penalties: The maximum prison term for unlicensed operators is increased from 3 years to 10 years, and the maximum fine is raised from 3 million yen to 10 million yen.
