Gambling has no basis as an analytical material because everything is controlled not because of the real conditions, but on unilateral or someone intervention. While trading, occurs due to supply and demand. That's the difference between gambling and trading, really thin. Different in basic.
I think all things involving assets or money taking with risk is considered as gambling. trading and gambling have both unpredicatable result only that gambling has fixed odd its a win or loss while trading eventhough its unpredictable on the market but it depends upon the strategy of how you manage trading for better profit. that is why in my point of view trading is also gambling with different story because they have same risk taking.
Well, that's right. If you lose the gamble, you will lose your money and can not return it at all. But if you lose your money in trading, you can still recover your losses by selling some of the currency you have. How is that possible ? Because the value of a currency will not go down to zero, whatever the reason.
Maybe trading can be said as a gambling because we do not know when the value or price of a currency will rise and fall. We just buy a currency and expect the price to go up, but if we can predict the value of a currency, it means we are already become a good trader.
Let's us just take a simple example, for example we buy Bitcoin .. but we do not know whether Bitcoin prices are up or down in a few months. That can be called as a gambling, because we are risking our money on luck. But, we all know that the price of Bitcoin is always going up.
