Trading and gambling are connected with its risk and thats why it is sometimes mistakenly as the same. Trading requires more time, skill, experience, knowledge before doing it and gambling is just a matter of luck. In trading you have a more probability of earning while gambling is most completely 20/100 most of the time. Trading focuses on what the investments project based on its history while gambling well, not.
If generalized, then yes its been a mistake thinking that trading just because there's some risk behind has been labelled as gambling, where more people start being curios and start investing and tried to earn from this business, you are just act like gambling when you don't have enough knowledge to analyze which project to support with and place your investment. but if you already have all the knowledge that you need then you have some a good edge to invest with any project you take, while in gambling, you are just relying with luck alone. |

The answer would be definitely a big YES, trading is quite similar to gambling in some way, because traders could never know when is the lowest price to buy or sell bitcoin for certain week, the price of bitcoin could rise a lot in one week but drops hard in just a few days due to negative news.

Bitcoin trading is not gambling because while trading we will look for smaller margins of returns and it will be in our control whether to sell or buy. If we are happy with the returns we got we can sell them at the price if we are not satisfied we can wait for some trades to increase its price.

Bitcoin Trading isn't Gambling but Buying Bitcoin is “gambling”, in the sense that its an investment that could price crash at any time.
It is like gambling, but not as risky. When you gamble and lose all your money it is impossible to receive any kind of refund, it could happen while trading, though, but the probability is lower, you can track the price changes at least. Also trading isn't addictive, so you don't feel like you have to put all in because of a chance to gain a lot more. |

Trading and gambling both have capitals or the amount of money needed to start. Trading taking risk on a crypto and usually for a long time and has lower risk. Gambling bets on a game and within a second, your luck will tell you to win or not. Cryptocurrencies volatility is affected by different aspects on the market while gambling depends only at the speed of spin.

Trading is way better than gambling because in trading we can analyze the market while in gambling it is depend on just luck. Just so happen that people took too much greed and that is the time when trading becomes gambling which is really not good specially using bitcoin. Short term trading can also be consider gambling, so if you hate gambling or what better to hold it for a long time so it can be consider as investing. |

You could also analyze in gambling like what strategies to use, whether you would bet it or not, it's something like that so it needs to be sure. It's fun to think about because if you win, you get to have lots of money but the downside is, you can get greedy because if you have done it once, you can do it again mentality, and that's what is going to get your balance. |

Choices or decision doesnt really involves analysis because most of the time intuition is the thing which do make those moments on where we do think of if we would proceed or not.This is only applicable into some games but not to those who totally dependent on luck games. Trading can be learned up and its way more better to engage to it than on gambling alone.It might not give fast profits but it is sustainable for long term. |

So the question is if Bitcoin Trading is a Gamble or not?
I will express my views here and would love to know what you guys think.
It's investing. Buying and selling Bitcoin is an investment. Now, Is it Gambling?
There's a difference between Trading and Investing. Trading involves capital inhand kept for short period, typically for a few days, hours or even minutes. Investments on the other hand tend to be in months, years or even decades.
Bitcoin Trading isn't Gambling but Buying Bitcoin is “gambling”, in the sense that its an investment that could price crash at any time.
Gambling is based on chance, on putting a faith or betting something to gain while knowing that the odds are not always in favor. Trading has some similarities to it especially with how volatile the market is for bitcoin trading is essentially like gambling. Except that in trading you try your best to study every flow and evb of the value and try to make predictions off it. |

I think Bitcin trading and gambling are quite similar, but the are no the same. Both activities are risky and unpredictable. Success largely depends on luck. But the difference is that gambling doesn`t require special specific knowledge, skills and experience, while Bitcoin trading does. A person who does not know anything about crypto-currencies will hardly be able to successfully trade.

Bitcoin trading at times termed to be similar to gambling. Here with trading at time people get lucky to profit big same as that happens with gambling on selection of teams or players on a random manner. Gambling and trading needs the skills to predict without which however winning is a tedious fact.

We can consider than buying bitcoin is Gambling. Well we know that it is decentralized, no ones control the price and we don't know when is the moon or when is the down, sometimes it is stable but sometimes the price is like zigzag. So, when we are buying it will going to be a great doubt sometimes and the half is great expectation also. It is also Trading because we can sell if we want and we can also buy if we want, buy low sell high.

Gambling is something that is fully based on luck, while bitcoin trading may count as gambling because the high risk that is being involved, but bitcoin trading also involves skills, the outcome is not based on luck, and also it is legal by law.
Bitcoin trading is the same as stock market trading, but involves higher risk.
The difference between trader and gambler is slim. Not all traders are willing and able to perform in-depth analysis before they plunge into the world of trading. It's easy to find traders who rely on luck only. And yes, trading is legal in most countries while gambling is the opposite. I believe so.Bitcoin trading is definitely not gambling because you have to think first before you trade,and for sure you will not trade when the price is still low.The best time for it is when you see the price really gets higher so you can also make a profit out from your capital.But on the contrary gambling,you can make make it anytime you want.Yes it is mainly based on luck.And if you're not lucky enough,you will totally lose the game. Trading it's all about making predictions based on the market data where gambling predict things without anything to look at just you and your feeling to play certain games expect to have some profit. If you know how to trade properly you won't consider trading as gambling at all , it's different clearly. It is different only for the people who know how to gamble and how to trade. But, some traders are not ready to make proper predictions for their trading and they test their luck with trading in a manner they are supposed to do with gambling. When both trading and gambling are based on predictions, I believe they are getting confused about each other. When gambling is being conducted in trading way then we can expect positive results. But when trading is being conducted in gambling way, we cannot expect positive results. |

Trading is sort of gambling if you don't take time to study the market and read news.
But if you are skilled enough and take the time to properly study every piece of news that could have an effect on the market, then you can earn more with trading.

Yes, if we think logically bitcoin trading is gambling. we purchase bitcoins at a low price and predict its future price waiting for bitcoins to reach that point and we willingly wait for bitcoins to reach that point but sometimes bitcoins are unable to reach that point and even they go oppositely down which will indeed give us loss again. So it can be compared to gambling but the money ones lost in gambling can't be recovered but the money invested in bitcoins can be recovered as well as multiplied with the increasing price in bitcoins so bitcoin trading is more preferred than gambling. Gambling has comparatively high loss as compared to bitcoin trading. |

However much i would hate to admit it, the lurking feeling that the whole cryptocurrency market is right now the world's largest gambling platform in itself, doesnt wear off. Wonder why i feel that, hmmm....  |

There is a very thin line between bitcoin trading and gambling. However, if you bet on bitcoin without knowing what it is and just for the sake of people doing it then definitely its gambling. As long as u know the steps your are taking and the risks involved and calculate the profits, its a trading. It depends.
