Are people who get addicted to trading cryptocurrencies still able to return to normal life?

Here's a harsh truth: it's very difficult.
A friend of mine initially just played with contracts out of curiosity.
$1,500 turned into $40k in two days.
The huge profit made him think he saw through the market, that making money was too easy.
And then, it all went downhill.
He went all-in, held on through losses, and everything caught up with him.
Not long after, he lost the $40k and was back to a few hundred dollars.
Losing money isn't the worst; the worst is that he became completely addicted.
Since then, he’s been watching the charts day and night, never leaving his phone, eating and sleeping while staring at the candlestick charts.
He tells others not to touch contracts, but whenever there's a fluctuation, he can't help but jump in again.
The most dangerous thing about high leverage is how quickly you can make money.
A few percentage points in a day, assets doubling—this kind of thrill is more intoxicating than anything else.
Once you've tasted big gains, your brain will stubbornly remember that feeling.
People caught in losses have a persistent obsession: just one more trade to recover everything.
But before the market moves, their principal is already wiped out.
What destroys people is never the market itself, but the addiction to quick profits.
The easier it looks to get rich, the more brutal the price.
Controlling your impulses and quitting greed are the hardest parts of the crypto world.
If you also notice signs of getting hooked, exit early—don't wait until you can't turn back.
