Well, if it was, maybe I would choose both, but now I am more interested in the trading of the gambling. the reason is, because trading is not particularly a great risk like gambling, other than that if you're good at trading, the risk that you receive may be just a little bit. I was still a little interested in gambling, but was limited to sports betting
Trading is better to gambling that's why people are more interested in trading. It has also a risk but not as the same risk of gambling, because in trading we can earn in a long run and gambling is not good for long run.
When I started trading, it's easier to be less risky compared to gambling that has higher risk and that could lead you to something terrible, like losing your bankroll. You could try to understand more and strategize what you're going to buy and sell in trading.

I prefer trading, because for me it's safer than gambling. In gambling, you can count only on getting pleasure, and in trade you need to make a deep analysis that leads to profit.
Its true that trading is most safer than gambling , In gambling you can win and lose very fast thats why its a very risky thing. Trading is more safer than gambling because even if you have a dump coin there is a possibility to pump it again for a long time.

   Gambling has a fixed odds system for all major games, while trading in the markets is truly unpredictable. What is safe or more risky is based on the strategy and investing style of the participants. I do
not see how can trading and gambling be compared, even thou they have many similarities, both need skills and money for start, they are different activities.
   What is better from this two is the one that brings you more profit. For someone that is trading for someone that is gambling, that can be only answer on this question. If you are able to exercise discipline, focus, patience, on your trading and gambling strategy, you can profit in both of them.

I don't think your discipline and strategies can bring you profit everytime you gamble because it needs another important thing is called luck. So if you're not lucky then you can't make a profit with only discipline and strategies. But in trading, you can make a profit if you're disciplined, focused, patience and got some good knowledge of trading.
Even in the game of poker where skill plays a role, luck is still very important, I have seen people that had the hand won and had 99% chances of winning losing the hand because they were unlucky and their rival got the out that he needed, that is gambling for you.

i think those people who called as a professional gambler or pro poker player practiced the disciplined strategy ,
and that was a success key for them for sure ,
so basically it's quite similar , just the matter about risk level ,
where gambling is of course so much risk , and a lot of people not recommend it.

Which is better?


Depends on how you judge which is better. At trading I do not get the bloodrush I get when I am about to bust but last bet hits. That just felt really good.

I have not experienced the same with trading.

I prefer to trade also when there are times that we need to do something about it. There are gamblers will justify that you can get pleasure plus the chance of profiting for each games but it's not enough though. Gambling is made for fun or entertainment purposes while trading is a good way to make money online.

Gambling is luck and luck is not reliable. Trading is more reliable and we can train ourselves to make better decisions on the altcoins that we choose to buy.
First you invest in altcoins then trade them. You could say short term trades are investments as well. Gambling is not an investment but a game of pure chance.

I think that depends on the person, the adrenaline I get when my prediction is right and I win a big trade is enormous, it is better than anything I have experimented on gambling, gambling is entertaining don’t get me wrong but trading is better for me.

The gambling will give us pressure and profit i agree but not every time and not for everyone. the pressure will be there in all games but the profit will come in very limited games. yes you are right the gambling is made for only entertainment purpose, not for money. In gambling, there is no loss for our enteratinment. But trading is not like that if will make us active and it will improve our market knowledge, and we learn so many new things, and it also give us profit.

But there are traders who are finding their adrenaline getting stimulated just for making money with right trading predictions. Yes, they are finding their entertainment even from trading along with making good profit from that.

I'm not trying to say that they are gambling with their trading but fortunately they got chances to do their trading in more entertainment way so that they are getting what they are actually focusing for. When there will be strong predicting capability for trading, believe it will be possible for any trader. But a gamblers could never find this possible as gambling will never let any gambler to make money.

I dont think that trading is the same as gambling. In gambling we can have fun but how can we have fun in trading? we cant have fun because the result in not instant so it is hard to have fun. I think that these are two different thing that is very different that is why it is very hard to compare these two thing

yes that is right that it is depending on the interest of the people. some time people are interested in bitcoin gambling and therefore they are giving more preference to gambling while some some people like trading and they do not have any experince in gmabling, such people have good expeirnce in trading altcoin and they do not feel relucting even investing any amount of oney, they also get good profiit from trading that the cannot get from gambling.

Good course and profitable classes. Trade and gambling. But there is very little in common in these classes. Yes, and income trading I think it brings a lot more and risks less, unlike gambling. Although some traders still have the passion for trading. It's already like a disease or an addiction. Here perhaps in my opinion this is the only thing that can hurt gambling with trade.

Each person is unique and have that level of preference and comfort. As long as you are comfortable with either gambling or trading and you are happy with what you are doing and somehow profitable in the process, then stick to it and if it is no longer fun anymore, better stop already.

That's why it will depend on the person type of characteristics if you are patient you can do trading because it requires a lot of speculation and seeing that you can provide profit for you, but if you want an instant profit, you should gamble all the way, that's just how it is.

But you can always mitigate your risks with bitcoin and another cryptocurrency trading by enhancing your skills to know when to buy and sell based on well-founded analysis and trading skills.

Yeah, I agree if you have really a good knowledge about trading you can earn in a long run, and if you trade for a long time you can also know when to buy or sell. Trading has a risk but it is risky if you don't know how to trade. But if you have enough knowledge you can earn for sure. Gambling is risky long or short term. You may not know when to win or lose.

Both are the same really, both lose you tons of cash. As far as I am concerned there is no difference. When you trade, you gamble that the price of the coin you are trading will move in a particular direction. If it does, fine, you win. If it goes against you, not good, you lose. How is this different from gambling?

If you analyze deeoky, the difference between this two is the risk involved and how to control them and how to minimize loses.   In gambling it is a win or lose, if you lose, you lose, if you win you win, it is like 1 or 2 no other option and is dependent on the internal setup of the game and mostly dependent on the chance.  While in trading, people can minimize loses thru cut loss method.  Others may nullify risk by simply researching and knowing the updates and trend of the stock.

Both are the same really, both lose you tons of cash. As far as I am concerned there is no difference. When you trade, you gamble that the price of the coin you are trading will move in a particular direction. If it does, fine, you win. If it goes against you, not good, you lose. How is this different from gambling?

Sorry to say i am disagree with you, Because in gambling vs trading both have a differences in my eyes. May be your experience is different by me and may be you are right. But i have done both, and now still i am continuously doing both of them. Then i realize in gambling, if we lose our bet then it is a clear result that we have a lost. But in trading if we lose a chance, when we get double profit from our coins, then it mean we have a lost but still our coins in our hand and also we have a chance to recover our lose. Than do you think that both are same? NO.
