Why is Gamble gaining more fans than Bitcoin?

[Strongkored]

People are more interested in gambling than Bitcoin. Although gambling has more ricks than investing in bitcoins, people are developing a form of gambling addiction. If you are involved in gambling then you will have the possibility of both profit or loss but if you invest in bitcoin you will definitely have profit but you have to wait for long time to get that profit. Of course in gambling you don't have to wait long to get that profit but if you invest in gambling then your capital will likely be zero but in case of Bitcoin your worth will never be zero.

The two are not something that can be compared, because Bitcoin is a digital currency while gambling is our activity whether to get pleasure or also to be able to get profit, but because at this time Bitcoin is no longer considered just a digital currency but also an investment tool so there are risks attached to Bitcoin, so it can be seen that Bitcoin is the same as gambling which is a risk to lose, but as long as we only use Bitcoin as a means of payment or digital currency for online transactions, there is no risk that we will accept.
Apart from all that, because gambling is more general in nature, and almost all parts of life you can find about gambling, also gambling has existed before Bitcoin so gambling is far more famous than Bitcoin.
As well as many other factors that make gambling more popular than Bitcoin, but it will be difficult to beat the popularity of gambling because everyone on Earth knows about gambling, because there is nothing to learn because human instincts will understand about gambling.

One of the numerous reasons why gambling is getting more popularity than Bitcoin is because it has been around longer. Since gambling has been around for thousands of years, practically everyone in the world is aware of it. Additionally, since it is something that people do everywhere, whether online or off, learning about it is simple because of how frequently they engage in it today. Despite the significant risk of gambling, another reason why it is more popular than Bitcoin is that many nations have not recognized Bitcoin as legal cash.

Again, before investing in bitcoin and aiming for profits, one must go through a learning process; however, in gambling, the learning process is not the same as in bitcoin, where you must learn the buying process, where to buy to avoid scams, the type of wallet that will be beneficial for investing in bitcoin, and so on. However, a lot of people do not want to go through a difficult process to earn money because of human laziness.

And if we need to confirm, many people who are interested in gaining are also those who are anxious to earn money quickly. As a result, many people prefer to take the risk of gambling over that of Bitcoin, even though they are aware that the gambling risk is bigger.

Gambling is also easier understood by people in general than Bitcoin, because it's already part of their culture and tradition since a long ago, therefore people have contact with gambling probably since their childhood. And with contact with gambling I don't mean access to physical or online casinos, but to daily plays which involve betting on some events that may occur along the day and on determined situations. That gives people a good notion of gambling and get them familiarized with this, so when they grow older, it will be a piece of cake to join a casino and start playing.

With Bitcoin, on the other hand, people may get aware about it only during their adulthood, so they will have more difficulties familiarizing with this.

Yeah, gambling is not that complicated like Bitcoin can be to everyone. As a kid everyone has experienced gambling in one way or the other. Bitcoin came into existence a decade back and most of the humanity still doesn't know that Bitcoin exist.  Whereas if you ask about gambling to anyone on the street they would know about it. Although you wouldn't hear anything good about it. Comparing both doesn't make any sense for me. This is like comparing Bitcoin with gold wherein both are different entities.

I don't even know why the OP thought that bitcoin and gambling are comparable and it definitely makes no sense to compare it because it is completely a different thing.

Based on what is mentioned above, yes it's true that before bitcoin came into existence, gambling has been with us already since time immemorial and it is also the very same reason why there are a lot more gamblers in this world compared to the ones who actually bought and invested into bitcoin. I mean, there are some people who did both things, but if we are going to compare each other's figures, bitcoin investors doesn't even come close with how many gamblers there are.

Aside from that, and for obvious reasons, there are many gamblers than bitcoin holders because in gambling it is much more easier to make money compared to bitcoin where you need to gather your patience first before you can gain profit. Both doesn't guarantee it but with gambling, it's much easier.

^ Besides being difficult to compare, I’m not so sure it’s even a true statement over a long enough time frame. Bitcoin has gone from nothing to being worth nearly a trillion dollars in just over a decade. Gambling has been around much longer and surely hasn’t kept up with the infinite growth of Bitcoin in the last 15 years. It is a question of metrics.

~ Aside from that, and for obvious reasons, there are many gamblers than bitcoin holders because in gambling it is much more easier to make money compared to bitcoin where you need to gather your patience first before you can gain profit.

If a person has a smart approach to investing in Bitcoin, one can get rich in the long run even with the strategy of "buy when the markets panic and sell when the markets are euphoric" and earn much more than in gambling. Many people do not realize the true value of Bitcoin, at the same time you can teach even a child to play slots, dice or other gambling game and they will love it. This is why so many people gamble.

Maybe the thing you said is real,because the both are popular in their demand.The common thing to compare is the popularity and the winning or profit from it.Profit only based the tactics on the both bitcoin and gambling.Bitcoin was the top of the cryptocurrency,So the demand of the coin was long sustain.So the people are ready to the buy the bitcoin for various price for the longer period of time.

Gambling had good number of supporters in the gaming field.Some are oath to loss some money because of the bad luck.But it's not the permanent one,the loss and profit are the common one in the gambling.People learn the gambling with the minimum budget to learn and create some tactics for the game.When compare to the profit from the bitcoin and the gambling,the Gambling will top the table.

There are many causes for choosing gambling. People are involving to gambling because gambling is one kinds of addiction. Some times people win fron gambling and getting profit double. But bitcoin is not gambling here profit and loss is small and long time process. On the other hand gambling is short time process and profit will double or will loss all fund which you will play. People getting gambling as a addiction. When people involved with gambling then he fall with addiction. But bitcoin is standard things not addiction. So adult people day by day involving with gambling.

[darewaller]

I don't worry about this anymore, I am glad there are still a few who can notice this.
Well, the sports industry combined with the gambling industry is growing which could be one of the factors on why it's more popular now.
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin on the other hand became an asset so there's not much to talk about it, unlike the daily changes in sports rosters, wins, losses, and more.
Then, there's also the growth of online gambling sites, easy access to every gambler, they don't need to ride to the casino because they can do it at home.
A continuous happening can make something popular while the idle one like Bitcoin is still popular although it only happens with big events such as the halving and the ETF case.

I just think that it is not that much of a big deal, too many people worry about this, but I feel like whatever happens happens. Yes there are a lot of people who lose money due to gambling becoming bigger, and yes we should help the addiction be done, there are people who lose their lives because of it, they just can't handle the situation and their psychology doesn't really carry it anymore, which causes a lot of trouble for them.

However, this is a free will type of situation, nobody forces anyone to gamble, so legally speaking, making gambling illegal would be terrible, it means that people can't make their own decisions so governments should make a decision for them, it just doesn't really sound reasonable to me at all.

Weird question. Gambling is an ancient reliable and simple business, just like baking bread. Even if there is a total adoption, gambling will still be more popular than bitcoin, and I'm talking not only about investing in bitcoin (there are always much fewer investors than ordinary users), but about all areas of application in general.

Yes, you are right that indeed the two are very difficult to compare because it is already seen that gambling is the fastest place to spend money if you are not lucky but bitcoin or bitcoin investment is a place to save money without losing everything as long as bitcoin does not drop in price to 0.
I think it's not only adults who are involved in gambling because the development of gambling at this time is very quickly understood by the whole community, especially the type of slot game betting in almost every city in my country there are young children under the age of betting in slot games and they gamble in the open without any restrictions. had any concerns and when I tried to approach them and asked them to bet using fiat or crypto they answered with the question what is crypto?
This proves that the development of gambling is very fast because it is known for instant and fast results so that people prefer something instant without thinking about the risks and they don't have thoughts of investing which is far less risky.

that's simple fact that we all know about. so there's no discussion here. gambling will always prevail no matter what currency we have, fiat, crypto or other type of currency. gambling has been with the humankind ever since. currency may evolve into different types, but gambling will always be gambling. so there's no surprise to why gambling is more popular than bitcoin. btc is just one currency that they can use for this type of entertainment.

Comparing who is most fond of Bitcoin or gambling actually doesn't match. Bitcoin is a digital currency which, like Fiat, is used for transactions and gambling is where people place bets. Bitcoins will be used in crypto-enabled gambling as an optional payment from Fiat. it will be suitable if we compare trading instruments such as Futures and gambling, both of them use several opportunities to win.

People anticipates in gambling because it's easier than Bitcoin trading which most people finds to be too complex and complicated. Bitcoin is a digital fiat currency, most governments placed prohibition rules on it simply because they don't want to to entertain any competition with their general currency. Funny as it sounds to watch bitcoin surpassed a country legal tender. While Gambling is common in every country, we just have to stick to the popular ones. Bitcoin is advancing to the next stage but we ate all in got a grab, ready to possessed the solid foundations of the projects.

And gambling will remain while bitcoin is the currency people use to gamble in addition to using fiat. And because bitcoins are more popular than they were a few years ago, people are starting to use them because of the many benefits they can get. Meanwhile, they still gamble in many gambling games and only change the payment type to bitcoin so that bitcoin is also known as a currency for gambling. And gambling is indeed better known than bitcoin. Even long before bitcoin was created, gambling already existed. Even in the past, people gambled on various things so they didn't just stick to currency.

Even if it's real we know that there are some people that are already been fans of traditional gambling that find it convenient to play online as well. As you said we don't have the total statistic but obviously that doesn't really need because we know that gamblers are already there before the invention of bitcoins and most likely they have already been there and are probably already huge in numbers. But bitcoins are making slow progress towards adoption by other countries and surely it will be different stories and bitcoins will show positive news in the future.

Bitcoin versus gold is still a better comparison since both of them can at least be considered assets that can be owned by a person and they both require investment and can provide profits on the investments, but comparing Bitcoin with gambling is something totally out of context and isn't really understandable. Even if we are talking about the number of fans both have, they are totally different things and will surely have different amounts of fans as well.

As you said, gambling has been around for centuries, while Bitcoin is barely a decade and a half old, and gambling is an addictive activity that lures people in since it has the potential to provide significant profits while Bitcoin might be volatile but it doesn't guarantee very high returns on investments.

Yes, I mean gambling is something that can be done even without money as you could bet with your friends that you will do something they want if they win or they can do something you want if you are the one to wins, and when something goes way beyond the realm of money and it can be done with such ease then it is not surprising that gambling is way more popular than bitcoin, especially when gambling in this manner is probably as old as humanity itself and bitcoin has only been around until recently.

That is why such questions are not just incorrect, but one might say manipulative. It will always be possible to say "despite the efforts of the community, even after 20 (30, 40, etc.) years, bitcoin is still much less popular than eating meat" 
If you talk about gambling and bitcoin, then you can talk about the share of bitcoin in gambling (this share always remains very large despite the fact that altcoins have many advantages in some senses).

One reason why he may have said Gambling is gaining vs Bitcoin is that BTC users are getting into casinos after investing. Some of them who had been holding coins for a long time and misses to dump their BTC during the bull run are turning to casinos hoping to profit in gambling instead of trading.

There were articles in the past that BTC was created for gambling which will not last and the hype of BTC will be gone soon. But this conclusion is said by those guys who had not learned the blockchain tech yet.

Yes and some people more prefer to play using traditional casinos because they are comfortable it, also if you will notice most of the traditional gamblers are at the range of old people so it means it is kinda hard for them to get used to gambling in crypto and they are at risk unless they are so techy and they have someone to teach them some things that can help them to understand things.
