I must prefer in trading because its much safer than in gambling you can control your coins in trading but you have to study and learn the altcoin you want to trade. Better in gambling you only base in your luck but if you feel that you have luck then better gamble what you can afford to lose.
I absolutely agree that trading is much better than gambling and you can a sure that you could earn and make a good income. In addition to that, it’s much risky in gambling and there is a possibility that you money or bitcoin will not come back but if you hit a jackpot you could be an instant millionaire. Lastly, trading is one of the best sources of income.

Gambling has one point in common, that is the risk that you are taking. We all know how we need to risk to win for a good profit, you really need to stake your money for a good earnings. So you can't say that trading is better than gambling just because you can ensure a profit or a earnings, trading is good because it is more on  earning than taking a risk unlike gambling.

Both gambling and trading has their own risks if you are an inexperienced to these two, but i think if you manage properly which side are you mostly winning then you can make a lot of profit to it. Not everyone has the chance to win the lottery since the ratio of winning is very very low unlike trading you could just watch the charts and everything is following according to your plan as long as you make a move.

I was not born to be gambler but I love to gamble anyway, I don't know why I have this kind of feeling ever since when I was a kid I really love to gamble. Although some would say gambling is just a waste of money but I do not believe on that, how can it be a waste of money if we are enjoying what we are doing. IMO, gambling is only for matured and responsible people because it's risky and can ruin lives.

No one is born to be a gambler and there will never be parents that want their kid to be a gambler. It is a matter of choice and everyone ought to make their own decision. No one force someone to gamble and everyone can stop anytime they like so if you feel that it is a waste of money then simply avoid it and warn the others
i dont think so,some professional gambler want their kid follow their line,follow what they do,and be a professional gambler not too bad at ll,its like a job and many people have try this,maybe i just see the professional gambler on movie,but i am pretty sure its also happen in real life,at least one of professional gambler want their kids follow his destiny. just my opinion.

The level of emotion generated from gambling is bigger than trade, I honestly love this challenge so I play more in gambling. You are right, gambling is not a bad choice and no coercion, all free to quit anytime, relative today, to what extent you can enjoy and rise from adversity.

You have to diversify trading vs gambling or vs skill based gambling. You can hardly compare trading with gambling solely based on luck like roulette, etc.. But trading and skill based gambling is similiar because you use your skills to gain an advantage and do not solely rely on luck.

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?
I dont think that they are easy to be compared. Both are good and we can earn money from both  of it. If only we are knowledgeable in both aspect i think we will gain and earn more money. But for my opinion i more preferred gambling. Because i think it is less risker than trading. And i also think that trading is gambling too.
I think the comparison is fair, but since the nature of both are so different then it can become difficult, for example the chances of being a winner in gambling in the long term is very low while the chances of being a winner in trading in the long term is about 10%.

I chose "Trade Only" since I prefer trading rather than Gambling. Actually, I don't gamble anymore these past few months and no plans of gambling again. In regards to trading, I don't trade too often, but I still find it better since the chance of earning and losing is, I think depends on my decision. I do trade if I think that I will earn, so luck is not much needed unlike in gambling. Well, it's just my opinion.
Actually, it’s better to trade than to play it in gambling. In addition to that, in trading you can a sure that you money or bitcoin will come back while in gambling there is no possibility that you can will come back. Gambling is too risky and gambling doesn’t make you rich and it will make sorrow if you lose a lot of bitcoin or money.

Gambling is just for the few people who are born to be gamblers. And not all of us will have a decent life with gambling. We need to understand on what will can be the possible result of gambling if we are not going to choose the right way of earning. Trading is there and easy to learn.
Born to be gamblers  Grin no-one is born to be gamblers apart from few off springs of casino owners and few rich gamblers.

Trading is not easy to learn, it require years of practice and you have to loss so much to learn from mistakes.

Well, before trading on live stock market/exchanges, you can practice trading on a demo/simulator site with real data. even with practice/testing there's still chances of losing, but it should prepare you to take minimal loss.

Yeaaa trading won't make your whole money burned.
Unless you are trading shitcoin that almost guaranteed to run scam which you can never predict it.
Trading are better as long as you do it properly without greedy feeling like gambling.

Yes of course trading has a bigger advantage rather than gambling and even you hold it for a long time,  but still you will benefit the whole idea of saving your coin. I had no good chances of gambling as it is very prone on losing your bets, well there's no certain assurance of winning the prize of game and all you hope for is a lucky winning that you will gain instantly.

It is a good idea since Trading is not easy, learning on demos is a good thing but it would be more exciting if you are really implementing what you will learn on demos. Trading could be like gambling if you are not going to be serious about this, you could lose too much money or capital on Trading if you're going to be a naive person which is always insisting what you want even though it is not correct.

So before we enter some places in this Crypto World, we must consider first the facts and the risk that we must know to avoid this capital lost.

trading have similar risk to gamble when you have no knowledge doing it. trading would be more profitable when you have become an expert , i just think those people who still learning to trade would have same risk compared to those people who just get started to gamble , both have similar risk and worth it.

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.

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.

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.

Gambling is just for the few people who are born to be gamblers. And not all of us will have a decent life with gambling. We need to understand on what will can be the possible result of gambling if we are not going to choose the right way of earning. Trading is there and easy to learn.

IMO, gambling is only for matured and responsible people because it's risky and can ruin lives.
Okay there were some that are not born to be a gambler but they chose their path to be inline to gambling. If you have a feeling that you are intact with gambling then there's no doubt with it that you are totally born to be a gambler. So make sure that you are doing everything and do things right when you gamble, trading is just there if you want to migrate.

If you do not know how to trade I would say that your chances of losing money are even greater than when you are gambling in gambling your odds are fixed, there is nothing you can do to change them, but in trading your odds fluctuate due to different factors.

Depends on the game/way of gambling. If it is Dice, you can always adjust the odds.

In trading, everybody would start from something. And I believe traders who started from a loss will be more picky to which they will trade. So they'll be likely to have better trades compared to others.

same to me, i prefer trade rather than gambling. In trading, when we lose, we still get "some" money left, different story if we are gamble, when you lost, you can lost all your money.

If a person is a skilled trader, he can even get a good profit even though his holdings value is decreasing.  Unlike in gambling if a person lost his bet, he already lost them and need to bet again if he wanted to regain his loses.  Which often times resulted in chasing loses and lose even more.  So I agree that in trading, people can recover even part of the money they invested unlike in gambling where they lost the money they bet when the roll is favorable to house.

I chose "Trade Only" since I prefer trading rather than Gambling. Actually, I don't gamble anymore these past few months and no plans of gambling again. In regards to trading, I don't trade too often, but I still find it better since the chance of earning and losing is, I think depends on my decision. I do trade if I think that I will earn, so luck is not much needed unlike in gambling. Well, it's just my opinion.
same to me, i prefer trade rather than gambling. In trading, when we lose, we still get "some" money left, different story if we are gamble, when you lost, you can lost all your money.

If a person is a skilled trader, he can even get a good profit even though his holdings value is decreasing.  Unlike in gambling if a person lost his bet, he already lost them and need to bet again if he wanted to regain his loses.  Which often times resulted in chasing loses and lose even more.  So I agree that in trading, people can recover even part of the money they invested unlike in gambling where they lost the money they bet when the roll is favorable to house.

Trading is indeed more safe, but if you don't know what you are doing, trading will be much more riskier than gambling. Since if you don't know how to trade you are like gambling under lower chances of winning than if you just bet on a 50-50 game of dice. That is why there are a lot of horror stories in trading and investing, it is because they know nothing.

Gambling is just for the few people who are born to be gamblers. And not all of us will have a decent life with gambling. We need to understand on what will can be the possible result of gambling if we are not going to choose the right way of earning. Trading is there and easy to learn.
Born to be gamblers  Grin no-one is born to be gamblers apart from few off springs of casino owners and few rich gamblers.

Trading is not easy to learn, it require years of practice and you have to loss so much to learn from mistakes.
Well, before trading on live stock market/exchanges, you can practice trading on a demo/simulator site with real data. even with practice/testing there's still chances of losing, but it should prepare you to take minimal loss.

It is a good idea since Trading is not easy, learning on demos is a good thing but it would be more exciting if you are really implementing what you will learn on demos. Trading could be like gambling if you are not going to be serious about this, you could lose too much money or capital on Trading if you're going to be a naive person which is always insisting what you want even though it is not correct.

So before we enter some places in this Crypto World, we must consider first the facts and the risk that we must know to avoid this capital lost.
trading have similar risk to gamble when you have no knowledge doing it. trading would be more profitable when you have become an expert , i just think those people who still learning to trade would have same risk compared to those people who just get started to gamble , both have similar risk and worth it.
If you do not know how to trade I would say that your chances of losing money are even greater than when you are gambling in gambling your odds are fixed, there is nothing you can do to change them, but in trading your odds fluctuate due to different factors.
yes that is a fact, i think there is no doubt that if  a person do not have any experience in trading then trading is more risky and i think we can even consider it as gambling, because in most of the gambling format we do not need for any experience and skill. but we mostly depend on our luck. and if we are luck then our chances to make money in gambling are more.only in few formats we have the facilities to use our experience.
