There is a HUGE difference between gambling and investment.
You invest to make a profit! In crypto, stocks, tomato, gambling, your skills... you always pay the price and you try to get the most of it! There's a difference between types of investment, but in the end, every time you risk your money to gain something you are investing... in the same time you are gambling because you can get what you wanted, or not!
In investment you do not have any type of "guarantee" to lose money at all. Whereas in gambling there is a guarantee that you will lose money.
I am not sure I understand this part! Look above, when you are trying something you can succeed, or not! There're no guarantees at all, it's why everything is a sort of gambling.
So the difference is that, if you buy this token then there is a chance you may make money or you may end up losing money, but if you gamble, as long as you keep gambling there is 100% guarantee that you will end up losing money, all because house edge, sure there could be some sort of luck involved which makes you win in the middle of the situation, but at the end of the day you are talking about something that is only good for a moment, then you will keep losing in the future.
There's a difference in games/types/sorts... There's a huge difference between chess and boxing, the same difference is between trading BTC/USDT and playing dice! But for all of them some things are similar, you need to have the knowledge and set of skills along with lots of practice to be good at something! In all of them, you compete against others and you can win or lose, more or less!
So long story short, a person who gambles here to make more chip right now, may end up not gambling and not risking and end up buying chips because it is less riskier method.
I can gamble my way through, you can try investing... in this specific case we both support Chips casino and we depend on Chip's casino success! Meanwhile, I had fun playing and mining, maybe I had big wins or losses, you just invested in tokens and you spend time on something else. Both of us invested some time and money, and we both gamble! We just do it in different ways!
Good luck!
