It's not 'at risk', it's been that way for years. There are also ways to make it a relatively safe long-term investment (DCA into only a handful of coins that aren't going away anytime soon). But it's definitely a terrible place for people prone to gambling addiction and probably helping to create new gamblers, sure. Just taking myself as an example, I never used to consider myself a gambler until I got into this space, and I eventually realized I've made much bigger and dumber bets in crypto than I've ever made in a casino (which I've only been when my friends or parents wanted to go, and usually don't spend more than $50). Thankfully in my case my bad habits in crypto are fairly small compared to my good habits (DCA).
