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?
I asked them to show me prove that they make more from gambling than they lose, none of them showed me, but I prove to them that I hardly have losses investing in Bitcoin lol .
Famz, drop your opinion on this, would you categorize these two as gambling? Because the only winning factor from Bitcoin investment is to just buy low and wait for a high price, it's not the same with casinos. Am I not making sense? I will like to hear from you.
Just yourself elaborated it clearly what is the difference, if you still want to categorise then I would like to say day trading is more related to gambling but not entirely similar with playing a casino game but we can resemble it with sport betting and day trading cause both involves analysis, research, decision making ability at the right time.
Apart from this long term investment is purely different from gambling cause the reason is different and if someone is doing gambling to make money then they are doing it wrong and blame others for their mistakes which shouldn't be taken into consideration at all, just let them realise with the profits you make from investing on Bitcoin.
