I am not a gambling addict but some friends are making me look like one because I gamble less and they gamble more, it all started when we got into an argument that investing in Bitcoin is not the same as gambling, my friends who are gamblers, not full-time but more of a gambler than I am, are claiming that there is no difference between investing and gambling, they said if all you doing is investing money on Bitcoin you are no different to those who are gambling in a casino.
Still, I refuse this because I believe they are wrong, Bitcoin market has charts and I am playing with charts even if I am a full-time Bitcoin trader, all I need to do is read charts, and if I am good at it I will win vs gambling, where it's you vs a company which we can never tell if their games are completely fair or not.
Furthermore, I told them that Bitcoin investors tend to get positive results, while online casino gamblers tend to get negative results more than positive result, true or false?
Since it is own perception, you don't need to make it too serious. If they believe that investing in Bitcoin is like gambling, let them trust their assumptions. You just need to tell them the truth once. If they refuse it, then you don't need to argue about it anymore. It is difficult to argue with people who are not open-minded, you will get nothing.
They won't accept that playing gambling may end up with negative results. They are not aware that they are addicts, which that proves they don't realize the negative results/impacts. Even if you explain with any reason, I doubt you will make them understand the difference.
My suggestion, you just need to stop arguing with them.
Bitcoin versus Gambling. They're like competing roller coasters at a theme park, each offering its own spine-tingling excitement, its unique potential for winning the stuffed animal prize or losing your lunch. Isn't it all a grand juggling act of personal choice and responsibility when the park closes? Consider Bitcoin, the proverbial 'one-armed bandit' of finance. For some, it's a shining beacon of the future; for others, it's a rickety raft on a turbulent sea. But, hey, isn't every investment a bit like playing darts blindfolded?
And then we have our old friend Gambling, a greased pole if there ever was one. Some climb for the sheer thrill, some for a mental vacation, and some, unfortunately, can't let go. But isn't this the same song and dance with any guilty pleasure? Here's a left-field pitch. Picture schools cranking out lessons on financial literacy, risk-taking, and spotting the gold at the end of the rainbow! Can you envision a world where young minds are molded to invest with precision, be it in crypto or elsewhere?
