Sometimes, making decisions based on excitement or emotions can lead to disappointment and regret. When people act without careful thinking, they often overlook the risks and consequences of their actions.

This is especially important in areas like trading and gambling. Although trading is different from gambling because it involves analysis, strategy and calculated risks, both can still lead to losses if they are driven by impatience or greed. The most important quality in trading is patience.

Because a patient trader will take time to study the market, plan properly and wait for the right opportunities instead of rushing into decisions. It helps one to avoid emotional mistakes, reduces unnecessary losses and promotes discipline. Without patience trading can easily turn into gambling and their actions will be guided by luck and impulse rather than strategy and knowledge.

Until a beginner learns how to trade and gets the proper experience for this, using risk management at the same time, his trading will continue to be comparable to a casino, where luck brings profit, and not the skills used by the trader.

I mean, for sure, there are a lot of similarities since both can lose you some money if you just dont handle it the right way, In my opinion the main difference was just about the chances of winning, when it comes to gambling the players are mostly just depending on luck what every happends, for some users's or traders that might others do if they just don't know what they are doing, but overall they just pray that they are going to make some profit on it without even making any kind of technical analysis or something that is going to make there chance of winning increase.

If you are going for a right way of trading for sure it is going to be different in my opinion because there are a lot of basis and factors for some veteran traders and they know what they are doing, but for traders that just do it without even doing the research I think it is just the same as gambling, I know a lot of people that is just constantly betting on meme tokens without even basis of investment but still they know and they are aware that it is some kind of bet because it is not guaranteed.

Short term trading is risky but long-term investment can be very profitable. Long term investment does not require much skill but you need to be skilled while trading. You need sufficient capital to trade. In long term investment even if you do not have capital you can build a large holding by accumulation only through discretionary income and can provide high returns.

Trading should be done to be profitable but you need to analysis the market for a long time to reach a profitable level and gain skills. Trading is not gambling, that is true but due to lack of awareness about risk management, traders put their capital at risk and get into risky situations like gambling.

Trading can never be considered as gambling, no way. Because trading processes so much or many characteristics or quality that gambling lacks. Trading involves skill, analysis, good experience, strategy, while gambling always relies on pure luck or chance. Trading requires proper research, good understanding, and analysis, including market trends. Traders have the ability to manage the risks involved in the markets by setting stop loss. A trader always make plans for the trades, set their entry and exit points, learn from their experiences or mistakes and correct them, target profits, and adapt to the changes that occur in the markets even if it is wins or losses. No one will describe a trader as an unemployed person, rather they will describe them as self-employed people, because a trader is equivalent to a businessman or woman. But it will be very easier for them to address a gambler as an unemployed person, most especially if the gambler is neglecting their responsibilities and addicted to gambling. People in their community will be seeing him as an irresponsible person, which is a great slap to humanity.

People should learn from the traders who are in the market for 2 to 3 years and they are trading and they are earning good from that . If you will trade at good price then it will be good for you . Many people are thinking that trading in Bitcoin is just like gambling but actually that is not correct because we can lose money by trading which is part of every business and it we see trading offline then there are also chances of lose in the market because market could go up or down and we saw many times when big investors gave prediction of market crash but  we saw all time high in the market. Investment should be on your mindset and your  concentration and if you will concentrate on your learning then you will be successful in the market .

This is very true. When a trader, especially the newbie traders fails to give himself to proper learning, gather as much experience and knowledge as possible, and have an effective risk management system in place, then their analysis and decision outcomes would be most driven by chance. And even when they make profits, it’s more or less due to luck than skill, and this is the exact reason why it feels more like gambling in the casino. It is only when a trader gives himself to consistent learning, discipline , risk control and patience can trading shift from gambling to more of a skill based activity.

Seriously. Anybody who join the market without the knowledge and understanding of what the market looks like, I mean the knowledge. I can tell you that person is just gambling with his or her money, because that person didn’t know what will happen next, that person did not the step to take when something happened.

So I think person like this is just gambling with his own money, because he don’t know what it look to trade, he believe in luck that’s is why he didn’t boarder to learn first before taking his money into it, think he can get money without knowledge and understanding which is not so.

Indeed, many people consider investing or trading to be gambling, because the risks are very high. In my opinion, anything carries risk, including real-world business, and there are certainly many differing opinions on this matter. However, I believe the most important thing is not to harm others, whether gambling or not. Whether we currently lose or profit, we won't harm others.

If you invest long-term in BTC, I don't think it's gambling, even though it's high risk. BTC is different from altcoins. I want to ask if you've ever heard of anyone who invested long-term in BTC losing money? If you invest in BTC for the long term, it's a good idea, and the risks aren't too high.

You have explained the matter correctly. Discipline and risk control are important for trading. Along with this, I am expressing my opinion on the use of funds. In my opinion, use the amount of funds that you are capable of losing. Trading with increasing skill makes you profitable but definitely does not keep you out of risk. To ensure this, it is recommended to use funds that you can afford to lose.

It is very easy for new traders to make trading mistakes because they want to get rich in a very short time during the learning period and are not aware of risk management. They conduct trading like gambling but they should have been patient and applied effective methods to control risk.

We are not Gambler, But Traders and Investors

I know some of us might have come across this maybe on the internet, but maybe we could just take a time and ask ourselves that same question and provided an answer to it.

If it's not gambling, then what is it? High risk investment?

As for me, in either trading or investment, I will prefer taking out the high risk and made an investment with Bitcoin for a long time and have no risk in it.

Maybe you also don't want to be a trader that will gamble away his trading fund, learn some additional skills, strategies and improve your competence and take away the high risk attached and trade to profit and not on losses.

trading is way different from gambling, but yet people still compare both and say there the same.trading and investing are high income financial skills, that takes time to master before you could start making money. But gambling wins are mainly based on luck, no skill truly required, just experience and knowledge them mainly luck.
          So the statement is true and should be really hold up , "we are not gamblers but traders and investors ".

[nelson4lov]

Imo, Trading has to do with calculated risks by following a trading plan, applying patience and a couple of other virtues that are needed in traders. But for gamblers, taking calculated risks is optional and not being a requirement at all mean that you can easily ape into bets without doing adequate research or analysis. It's not always obvious but gambling is more about YOLOing into bets.

Similarly, both trading and gambling are risky, but one is completely dependent on luck, while the other is dependent on analysis and skill. So there is no room for thinking of trading and gambling as the same. Those who invest in Bitcoin may temporarily reduce their investment returns due to high volatility, but if it is held for a long time, the chances of loss also decrease. On the other hand, when someone joins gambling, if he can benefit from luck.

There are some altcoins in trading that make a hype in the market and then withdraw. In the case of such coins, it can be compared to gambling, but Bitcoin is completely different where there is no possibility of long-term loss. Especially if you look at a trend of the past few years, you can get a clear idea about it.

Trading has been attributed more to gambling not because they’re the same thing but the pattern to which people trade makes it wanna look like one. When you’re trading with the right knowledge of the market, applying proper risk management to your trades and risking only what you can afford to lose, exercising patient, executing trades when you get a good confirmation, exiting trades when it is no more in your favor, and taken profits without being greedy after reaching your take profit target. The market is very big and volatile and only your knowledge can see you through not trading like a gambler and be seen as one. Take everything seriously and with caution, only with them can you win over in trading.

These are te main things that you should consider out or simply the main important thing on which you do need up to do so when dealing up with trading and investing. Yes, it do also need up some luck though but most of the time it will be that determining whether you do put up the hard work or you had just that simply make out some investing or trading without putting up any analysis or hard work and just that believing that you can make money with it already, on which this is that very wrong. On the time that you've been doing up some steps or actions on which it is outside of the usual approach when dealing up with trading or investing then it do basically shows that you are already that doing gambling on which we know that this isnt recommended because you would be easily busting up all the capital that you've been trying out to raise or make profit into.

Its also talks about mentality because once you do put up yourself on having fixating about making money without doing much effort then this would be resulting into those common errors and mistakes.

For altcoin has similar with gambling purely about luckiness exactly with shit coin but trade at bitcoin exactly for long term its not the same with gambling. Long term investment in bitcoin always has chance get recovery if price drop but in gambling your prediction not correct you loss money with nothing left. So not fully wrong between gambler and trader but depend which one coins trade if some one trade at shit or high volatile altcoin exactly the same with gambling but when trading at top coins and investing in bitcoin is difference concept with gambling.

In trading you can minimalize risk management has chance to stop loss but you can't do at gambling, after placing the games purely depend on your luckiness will win or get loss.

Gambling is not defined by the type of cryptocurrency or asset, but largely by your behavior. If you lack knowledge, risk management skill, and a clear plan. You are trading entirely based on emotion, with a mindset of getting rich quick by using high leverage. Even if you choose to trade using bitcoin or gold, your action are still considered gambling. The reputation and security of Bitcoin will not save you from being labeled a gambler if you trade in that way.

In time of trading investment it's all depends the side you are going into , trading is also go a long way of life if you are keeping your efforts in a place till when you will begin to see money in future that's is also a nice one ,but many do gambling instead of trading they will gamble it and tomorrow they will not see anything their be complaining about Bitcoin investment how it fails them ,but they have forgotten that they are the once that failed themselves,so if you are trading just trade not to gamble.

Trading is always risky, whether short or long-term, but short-term trading is riskier because if you buy a coin and it starts going down, you may not be able to quite of that trade quickly. But there is no reason to be disappointed if the price decreases after you have invested in a coin for the long term. Because you will be holding it long term, you can close this investment at a significant profit when the market goes up. But in both cases, skill is required: if you are not skilled or experienced enough, you can pick the wrong coin, and you can lose even a long-term investment. So you need good research to start trading.
