yeah i think so you can risk your money in trade because you don't know what the price will grow or not that is why it can be gambling there is no way you will have 100% chance to make profit even if it is 99% so it is gambling.

Trading is NOT gambling. There is no house edge in trading and you have a decent chance of Making money in the long run

Just like what I said here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15453353

Trading is one example of gambling. Why?
Because gambling is basically putting your money to risk.
You may lose your money if you did not predicted nicely.
This might be the reason of approaching your trading to test your luck. You need to have some skills to make profits from trading. Other wise, you will end up in finding your trading similar to gambling. I am not ready to accept trading as gambling.

There is no difference in trading and gambling both works same way.You can not predict or can not influence the result.You trade in hope of getting profit and many times fail to read the market.Gambling works same where we play to get money but lot of times thing go vise versa and we loose money in both.Nothing is safer neither trading nor gambling.

Gambling and trading is not the same in trading you'll just need learning and patient to make profit if you'll not study first before entering trading you will end up loosing not like gambling its all about luck ,
It would be stupidity to consider trading as gambling. Trading is a business where you need to have knowledge and some skill to make money. It mostly depends on you effort and hard work. But gambling is a complete different story you are just using your money to check your luck. You can easily win or lose in gambling unlike trading.

yes, knowledge is very important when trading and you also need patience, because if you don't have patience I think you can also lose a lot of money in trading. And in gambling you can also lose money if you are out of control in betting.   Sad

i think trading is consider gambling too, you are playing against the market, you don't really control what the result will be and all traders are looking for the right time to exchange for them to profit.

Of course you don't control what will be the result of your trades. But you have the control when to exit a trade. You can guess wrong, and the price goes opposite your prediction, but if you don't exit the trade it is just paper loss. All you have to do is.wait until the price goes your way, and it will. Just wait for the right time to.exit and you are profit.

yeah, knowing what's gonna happen will require the ability to see the future. but not having control doesn't mean you can't predict and speculate about the results either. you can read charts and analyze them to make a good decision.

Trading is much more of a speculations of the price in the market.

It is still have some parts and ways of gambling in it, But it is not considered to be a gambling, as you have the control on when to bail out.

Gambling is mostly run under an percentage of winning and losing while in trading it is run based on your own speculations and when are you going to come out of the trade.

Trading and gambling are both risky I think that is the only similarity that they have and the rest are too much different with each other I guess , in trading you need to wait until the price of the coin that your holding goes up before you can have a profit and even if the price of that coin is dumped or became lower you can still pull out your coin but not the same exact amount of what you have invested before . And in gambling the most possible to happen is to lose all your deposits it is more risky than trading I guess because even you have put a higher bet still there will be a chance to lose it all .

In fact trading required much patience to make very good amount in long term and on other side gambling is delivering very quick result, but I would like to say this both are looking same when we make invest into wrong item than it is like gambling than both have some similarity.

yeah.

Trading and gambling are similar to each other,

but gambling do pose more risk of losing you money when in compare to trading where the risk is not that much.

But gambling advancement over trading is that you can win money more faster (consider the high risk also), you get a lot of excitement, fun and also challenges.

but for me I prefer trading than gambling.

I think that a different trading with gambling. trading is safer investments. while gambling is so risky investment. gambling is a game that does not need a brain drain. we learn to be patient and tries grabbing a bit of luck in a game.

Well I think that trading is also risky and not safe at all, I really think you can compare gambling to it without any doubts.
And the fact is that for gambling you still need to be smart its all depending on the game and strategy.

when talking about risk, both have a high risk. I agree both are dependent on the strategies and knowledge.
gambling seem easier, if you have the knowledge only a matter of luck.
but if trade you must full research of the coin. but the risk is not very high, because you will not lose all in an instant like gambling.

i think it is much different to each other because in gambling you are risking your money for some games such as dice, poker or etc . and if you have lost you will not be able to get some of it . and when we say trading there's only a chance from risking your money maybe you will earn more from it if you are watching and monitoring the coin's price but if you didn't do that you will actually lose but you will never get bankrupt you'll just lost many of your stakes .

Nope i think both are same, when someone trade, he dont know what will going to happen in next few minutes or hours same like gambling, when someone bet he dont know what will happen with his bet. so in this contest they are same, but if we talk about loosing the money, depends on how muc you invest, if you invest large money in trading its same as playing on gambling site because you loose much if the price went down. But i think if we talk about loosing % yes in gambling you loose more than in trading.

Not entirely like gambling because you don't lose everything at least but you do take chances and it is risky but anything that makes money is risky and I believe with trading the risk is vastly decreased. Also it is fair, no worrying about odds or if the house is cheating you. You also get paid  out instantly and wont have issues making a withdraw.
