I do both. Invest bitcoin is so called gambling where you want to increase the amount of it.

It's true that investing is similar to gambling but they're not quite the same. The only similarities they have is that you take risks in both actions. However, their differences is what matter.

Investing money on a coin requires several process in order to become successful .You have to do some research about the coin you want to invest on, read the whitepaper, look at their roadmap, study their goals. Unlike gambling which depends mostly in pure luck, either you win or you lose. The latter is a very risky choice. It's better to take some risk on investments rather than on your luck.

I think both of this are the same , once you invest , you already a gambler. In investing , you will be able to double or triple your profit if the ICO succeeded and the coin value goes high , its a high risk just like when you gamble. In gambling you will win or loose all what you have its a matter of luck and this is also too risky to do. Inveating ang gambling have the same aspects in earning profits.
Even at first glance it´s distinguished that betting is much riskier because you can lose everything in the blink of an eye,that's why it is not recommended and especially if you have little luck or talent in betting,however there will be some winners who are very lucky and know how to bet,but for those who are not like that should be much safer risk in investing I could suppose,which also carries risk but has more chance to exit when your investment does not go well,and if everything goes wrong you may have the opportunity not to lose everything which would be much worse.

Crypto market investment is also a safe gambling. In gambling we loose our all the investment or gain multiple times. But in Crypto market either we loose half or make it double.

Hi,

I see a lot of gamblers..
I gamble with small money..
But I made MORE money with long terms.. (2014)

What kind of research do you do?
- do you read the White Paper?
- research the team
- product of not


I'm more than an investor and less than a gambler as a risk taker from having and doing both.
In everything that we do there's always a risk and we only have the courage to face it as we knew that in the end of the day all our hard works will be pays off.
That's why investing in an ICO needs a lot of research and money isn't the only one at risk here but as well as your time and effort that you put into it.

I think it doesn't matter whether you keep it long term or you do trading, you are still a gambler cause all this crypto market now ... nobody knows what will happen. There should be a correction even for BTC and nobody knows how hard it would be: 7k, 5k, 3k, 1k? So it is just a gambling that will come to an investing some day

Investing in altcoin seem to be more gambling nowadays.
Though I may have increased my worth upto x5 from trading in a year, I would have gained more (x13) if I did just hold the bitcoins.

I am both a gambler and an investor because I do most of my actions and activities both ways. Sometimes and trade fast, sometimes I invest for the long run.

Gambling and investing is very different, but gambling can give you shocking profits but has extremely risks. On investments, you kinda study and research the background of a project for you to be more confident investing your money to them. Investing is recommendable but gambling is only for your decision if you're gonna risk it or not.

Personally i am an investor. I always do research on projects do the investment. White paper is more important. And be alert on market

Previous times i lost 2000$ due non alert on markets.

Gambling means daily trading in my view point. Sometimes i do , but its too risky.

Example i had i put 480 usd to a coin the. I lost 180$ , then agin i put another coin 100$ got.. Summery is i lost 80$.

I am read White Paper before I invest my money, I am researching the team and the project and compare between the other projects and if they offer to release the product then I will try to find out too. maybe its like a gamble for me but if I am sure about the project then I will invest my money and so far, I think I made money too like you and I still want to make money for a long term.

I choose investors because the way you invest your money you have the possibility to earn more but in gambling for me, you have the big possibility to loss your money.

Before I invest my money first I read the white paper  to know their plans.

we who are investing in bitcoin can be called and gambler because it too much depends on the market, but it can also be called investors because we use our head to predict the future of cryptocurrencies whether it will rise or drop to make decision sell or keep.
