I base my question about whether a gambler can become a good bitcoin trader, because both of them share one factor which is risk.
Risk is not the only requirement to be a good bitcoin trader. If it were everybody who has started a business and built it from the ground up make a good bitcoin trader because they have been able to manage the risk that is inherent in running a business.
A gambler is a risk taker, he stakes his money without knowing the outcome of the game that he is about to play. There is no guarantee that he will win, yet he goes ahead to play, knowing fully well that he can lose his bet. Same thing with a bitcoin trader, he goes ahead to engage in trading knowing fully well that the market can turn around negatively for him, making him to lose his bitcoin. Yet he goes ahead to trade in the hope of making profit.
So does every other human being and not only gamblers and bitcoin traders.
So if a gambler where to go into bitcoin trading, do you think that the experience of taking risk in gambling will be an added advantage to face the risk of bitcoin trading?
If a gambler fulfils the requirements needed to be a trader, why not. All our experiences are transferrable. Therefore, if the risk taking is developed in the context of trading and other skills are developed as well, then they will be at an advantaged.
