Trading is much better than gambling. Because you can lose a lot of money with gambling and that is all wasted and so bad.
But with trading you have it under control so you can know when to stop or just going further. You have also a higher chance to make some profit.
right, besides gambling also always rely on luck so you can not control it, as opposed to trading, you could be lucky and get a lot of bitcoin with good analytical skills

I think the bolded parts are the ways to get a lot of bitcoin in gambling too, so I think there is no difference between trading and gambling, even I think gambling is better because we playing games there.

but there is a big difference between gambling and trading.
you don't have any control on the bets you make and you have no way of predicting the result at all.
but in trading there is a lot of analysis going on to try and predict the result. so i see a huge difference here. trading is not completely chance.

Yes I consider trading as gambling because it has a lot of the same risks compared with gambling.
In the overall experience I'm thinking its also the same if you look at the fact is luck you need.

Trading only be a gamble if you do not know what you are doing. But if you have the right knowledge and skills, then it is not a gamble. If you lose, it is not because you are unlucky but because you made a mistake in your analysis.

Well in sportsbook especially in football (or soccer), we also need to analyze statistics of the teams that playing, and predicting the results before making a bet. Then, there is no difference right? Wink

But do you ever think that you can really earn a lot through gambling? I guess you can earn tons of bitcoin if you are lucky enough and hit some jackpot. Many people prefer trading because is is safer than gambling but compare to their profit gambling is have more payout rather than on trading

I hope that more money will trade and stop with gambling because you can be poor of gambling and that is very bad.

this's just then you will have good investors and bad investors.  End of the day you can make a case for all these words to be used in whatever context.  You cant really live life without gambling even by breathing you hope to get air and by crossing the street you hope to not get run over.

No I do not consider trading to be the same as gambling. With trading you get something back.
With gambling you are not sure if you get something at all. The risk is much higher with gambling.

Yes, if you do a day trading than mostly both gambling and trading will same because in day trading only need a luck to make profits and it is same for gambling. But if you trade for longer period of time than you will not lose all your money at one shot and you will get a chance to withdraw your money, in case if your investment not performing as per your selection. In gambling either make instant profit or instant loses so it is different.

Trading for long term perspective is much safer option to make money than gambling. In gambling either you make money or lose money instantly but in trading you will not lose all your money instantly but it will give you a chance to withdraw some potion of your money, if you monitor your investments. I make money in trading than gambling but I always go for long in trading.

Yeah, their is an option in trading that let's you stop the trade when it is going against you. This way you can control how much you lose in a trade. This tool is very useful so you can budget your money wisely while trading. Unlike in gambling, all the money will be lose instantly when your luck goes against you.

Trading is gambling if you do not know what you are doing exactly, The line of difference is then but mostly if you doing your work based on analysis and effort then it's trading, if you are picking randomly then it's gambling.

I dont think that is the similar thing. Gambling will give you much more profit but trading will give you some slow profit. And with some luck gambling will give you what you wont expect like suddenly hit jackpot or anything like that but with trading although we have luck or not the result will be the same your profit will slowly no matter what you do

Gambling have this kind of tool too for some particular site. I think there is some similarity between gambling and trading too but trading takes some time to earn some profit but with gambling people want to get fast money that is why they keep on playing it although you already lose so much. This is not because of anyone or anything but because of yourselves who can't control it

Yeah, people thinks trading is just throwing your bitcoins into short or long and go for hail mary. They treat trading as gambling with 50/50 chance of winning. But if they just go into analysis and read chart or watch news, they can easily predict where the price of a certain commodities will go. And trading is not a gamble anymore because you have a clear insight and more probable to succeed than lose.
