This article looks at the potential for substance abuse among crypto traders. Crypto trading has grown in popularity rapidly over the last several years and, with that, many have become addicted to its fast-paced, high risk environment. According to a study by the UK National Health Service, as many as one in three traders use drugs like cocaine and amphetamines to help them stay "in the zone" while trading. This focus can also lead people to perform poorly in the long run, cut corners, and act recklessly in a number of situations. The article mentions that some traders become "addicted" to the trade itself, while others may find themselves in debt due to risky trades. The article calls for more education on the aspects of mental health and risk assessment that come with crypto trading to help people better understand their decisions and better position them for future success.
