Trading can be much better than gambling, because the chance is also higher to earn money with trading than with gambling so that is also very good for you if you are trading.
Gambling gives you fun and the reason that you are trading is to earn some money with it.

Gambling to me is totally different from trading. In gambling, you are making a choice and the result you have no control. Just like you gambling in table games and randomly buying in stock, the ups and downs you have no control over it. So in this case, trading without any knowledge is just like gambling. However, if you do your research and find out that the stock has an upward trend and the business system has edge competitive, you can say that it is a real deal to trade and your chance of getting more money out of it is hugely increase.

Trading and Gambling are both same for me, as both are risky and waste of time, both involves risk of your money, which you can loose at any stage, so its better to stay away from both.
Both are risky but with trading you somewhat know that you get something back for it but with gambling you are just taking a wild guess.
But both of them are not the best ways to make some extra money.

Trading is a gamble but it is not gambling, that is a very simple definition to that. With trading we can have as many reference as we can to be able to make the right decision to be profitable but in gambling most of our method relies on luck to win, that is the big difference between the two.

of course, different. trading is a form that requires skill. while gambling more rely on luck. many people fail to play gambling, because they were unlucky. You must be willing to take risks in view of all the action.

Trading require some skills but not a lot in my eyes because it also requires luck so I think that due to the fact its looking as gambling it is almost the same these days...

Trading does need both of it unlike in gambling you only need capital and luck. But for me, I would consider trading as gambling if it were for the risk, because trading is also risky and all types of investments are risky and that is just like you are gambling for money. And there is no assurance that you are going to get profit.

They are both the same  in the terms of risk because  on both ways you could  able to lose your money as  you said there  are no investments without  any risk and  all of them has. Because  if you  risk money you would  also get  money. The edge of trading  upon gambling  is   you could able to be profitable if you  trade smartly.
But if you are wiser, you will choose trading over gambling, the point here is that there are more people being successful in trading while only few people are successful in gambling, there is a big difference and our aim is to make money so trading is the answer.

Gambling users luck to win in the game but trading needs your skills and knowledge to succeed in trading, your win in gambling is no question just a temporary one but in trading you will mature as you stay longer which will give you a chance to be an expert in trading and make money consistently.

But we can not erase of the fact that in both gambling and trading we are risking money, so trading can be called as gambling too. Chances of losing is possible in both.

If in trading there's no such thing as money loss then that is not a gamble anymore but it's impossible people will not experienced loss.

Correct, trading  is  somehow  like to gambling because we are risking our  money to earn money and the  probability and  chances  of  lossing  money is still there thats  why they are the same on the risk  but  in trading you could  possibly lessen it  with proper knowledge and skills  unlike on gambling that  you are just risking blindly.

Yes because theres a risk also in trading maybe you can lose your money like gambling so i consider that trading as gambling. But in trading if you lose somd you can recover it fast if you have a capital try to buy 3-4 different altcoins then you keep it in a long term. That is the best in trading if you lose somd you can get recover it fast.
the actual gambling and trading are different, even very different. losses in trading, you can still be minimized if you have a good analysis. so you sell the coins that you have before the price is really down, so you're not too lose in this case. but in gambling, you will not be able to minimize the risk that you have, because when you lose in a casino, then bet all the money you would have spent. so, perhaps in terms of making BTC become more in a short time with minimum risk, trading may still be better
In trading you can improve your chances to make a profit with the right skill, knowledge and tools, while in gambling most of the time there is nothing you can do to change the odds of winning.
But, with gambling also we will be able to have different strategies and different settings to test our luck.
You may use your knowledge in some particular gambling but overall gambling is all about being lucky for that day.
But in trading, even having all the option to use knowledge, still our luck is also needed to make profits from trading. So, trading is also has the chances to be performed similar to gambling, like taking blind shot to test our luck while trading.
Investing and gambling can be similar if you treat them the same way, but while in gambling most of the time luck is everything }, in investing you can improve your chances of earning a profit with the right knowledge.
For me they are still not the same because gambling is for fun not for source of income unlike you are investing in trading that we can say that you have business buying and selling worth altcoin that you can hold for a long term an you can sell in  the right time..

Not all gambling games are purely
based on luck.

There are games like poker where you also needs skills
and by most of the time you will learn a lot after a long
time of playing it.

Which you can use as your advantage in the future.

no investment and trading are not the same thing. there is a big difference between the two. i think trading is legal everywhere, where as  gambling is banned in most of the area.

no i do not consider trading as gambling although both are risky but still trading is a little safe than gambling, in gambling you never a chance to return your money back.

Me too I don't consider trading as gambling for they have different ways and they are completely different. Maybe they are just becoming the same for the risk that you are going to take in. But in trading, it has a lesser risk and when you lose some trade you can be confident that you are going to recover the losses that you had made.
The thing they have different purpose in reality, because trading is not for fun but it is solely for a trader to make money as his goal but in gambling it is advisable that we just do it for fun and nothing more and less.
good point mate, in trading everything is about money while in gambling most of us just play completely to have some fun.

Yes somehow trading is also gambling because in terms of wagering a certain amount of money for an uncertain outcome in expectation of a reward is applicable to both. The difference is that in trading, there is a probable chance of winning than gambling because in trading, you have a basis on your actions or trades like you study the market first and analyze if its time for you to make a trade while in gambling, it will just depend if you are lucky or not and it would depend if you are in the right timing.

As long as you go for longer term trading then it is more safer than gambling but if you want to make a quick bucks from trading like day trading then it is almost equal to gambling. So if you want to earn money from trading then don't ever go for day trading.
yes that can be right, as long term investment is less risky as compare to long term investment, in short term investment you can lose money in a very very short time if the price start a downward flow you will really come in pressure and will start panic selling and you will book lost.
Trading needs more patience to learn the market, and you keep on checking the new updates of the market. But gambling is easy to compare trading. In gambling making profit is tough but in trading making profit is easy it will take some time. So according to me, both are different. And both have equal risk.
