Traders who switched to investing

Traders turned investors, how do you feel about your switch? Any regrets or maybe it’s been worthwhile and DCAing gives less headaches?

I currently leverage trade and whilst I at one point quintupled my investment, I then lost it all in a series of bad trades and poor practices. I then took all my money in BTC ETF which was doing decently and traded it. I’m now currently in the negative again and learning the house really does win and this is all gambling when you’re up against crypto whales and companies.
