So you're one of those noob's who simply think that they can get huge amount of money here. You thought that this is a get rich quick scheme. Its a hard and expensive lesson to learn, isn't it? For sure you FOMO as well at the end of the year, sadly though the sentiments have changed. And now you realized what you have done, but its not too late.

Exactly, you need to work very hard here. There's no magic or secret here, everything is written on the board. Work your ass off and get the rewards and learn through your mistakes and let experience be your best teacher.

Depending on how you trade it is still gambling.

You are like betting the price will move on the direction you bet.

Would you also call trading with TA gambling too? I thought once a trade placed is a product of some analyses, then it isn't gambling. In gambling it's either head or tail and you're definitely on one side of the bargain, but in trading, you're on both sides technically as you set TP prices and SL prices should things not go as planned and you're taken out of the trade.

No it is analyzing where price moves finding probability of next move and trading with good risk reward

it is not betting ,

betting does not involves any analysis or money management

I don't agree with that.
When you bet in a sport team, or a fighter, you are able to analysis who are betting and his opponent, and decide based on probability and statistics.

Ta is somehow statistic as well, and may be less precise than this sport analysis

I totally agree with your opinion. Because I've had the same mistake. I was stupid to invest all my money and not have to spend my life and some other money to solve. It made me very depressed and so I had to sell it for a low price. Know how to manage your finances before investing. That is a very important skill.

I agree with you and learning process in trading is very expensive.  If you really want to trade the first thing to do is to spend quality time demo trade or fund your trading account with little fund and trade with it.  The process of learning is the most important time of all. If you have no idea on how cryptocurrencies market work there is no need of going into trading and whatever you do you are actually gambling.

Rushing your self into things directly without even knowing or doesn't have any plan or idea will really put you into trouble or simply you would really lose up money.
Trading can really be like gambling but in those times where you are putting or carelessly making trade orders without any basis. Even we know trading is better than gambling these kind of times
that we can actually tell that they are the same on that exact situation. Therefore, don't rush things up because trading cant really be learn overnight.

Gambling is not for me. You can become addictive to it, forget about real life and finally, even lose all of your money. Trading is something that gives me not only the profit but a lot of confidence, man.

If you’re inexperienced and trade based on emotion, it is entirely possible that trading can be gambling. Like anything else, trading requires experience more than anything, and that’s something you can only gain with time. I agree with most of your tips, but it’s okay to start with a small amount of money you can afford to lose at first. It’ll help you trade realistically and you’ll gain experience with actual trading by doing so. Some sites also offer demo trading accounts where you can learn to trade on your own without investing any money.

All the beginners are cross the same story but no one is said openly because they are all gain some knowledge in next trading so they will never loose the hope in trading platform. Most of the investors are trying to improve our knowledge each investment so everything is a good experience in crypto platform.

Trading is partly gambling IMO as you're betting with the choices you made without any assurance that you'll profit in the end. Also, knowing that the markets are places of extreme dynamism, you must always be ready to face losses and move on with a better plan. I learned this in the hard way when I lost a significant amount of trading money in a coin that's performing pretty well for a month only to have its numbers brought down without any form of warning or hint that it will crash.

Oh and as always, never try to invest what you can't afford to lose.

Of course, it's not easy to do that.
Trading will always require time or process to get decent profits according to how much we try to keep learning until we reach the next stage in trading.

Trading is surely much safer than gambling and a lot better. But as you noticed in your topic, the knowledge is highly required before starting with this field, because even trading includes a level of risk, and without a good knowledge you risk losing your hard earned money.

What about another opinion that practice is essential to learn? If you don't make mistakes in investments, you will not know how to make things otherwise. Both gabling and trading are really mostly leading to losses of funds. Of course, both have exceptions like professional poker players or traders. If you want to earn money, it's better to find a stable job. The market's bearish, people are dumping it regularly, so it's not the best time to try trading. What you could try is invest your money long-term while earning from working. If you want to connect your life with cryptos, start from bounties, try translating documents and writing articles. Good luck!

It may be the hardest lessons that you learned from life but the essence of it all is to let you learn from it and now you just learn from it. Now, for the gambling you might learn another lesson again if you made a big mistakes while in gambling because most people under in it without the control of their self will also suffer the great cause of their actions.

Yes when first jump in to trading, we should be more focus to learn about management of risk and money and dont set the target profit first, the more important thing how to minimize the risk first. And after we have some strategies to minimize the risk and then we can set the target monthly profit. So make risk management is very important first.
