Gambling is not bad as long as you can use it well. But gambling is different from trading. In trading, you need the ability to analyze to enter the market and exit with a profit. But even if you can't make a profit, that's okay if you still want to learn more about trading.
Gambling is way better than trading
IF a person happens to be very lucky and hit the jackpot or max win of a certain game. It is way faster than trading, faster to win if one is lucky and faster to lose all the BTC funds if one is unlucky.
No doubt. But the problem is that not many can be lucky and get the jackpot or maximum win. They can only try many times and hope that luck will come. Well, everything has consequences, especially between trading and gambling. So @OP should already know about it.
And if today you lose in trading, maybe tomorrow you can make a profit from trading, but you have to be able to find the right moment to trade. The important thing is that you keep learning more about trading so that your chance to make a profit can be even better.
If one is knowledgeable on how to know the entry and exit point of trade, he is more likely to avoid losses. A trader can also use stop loss option to prevent himself from losing too much or preserve his profit percentage.
And if he only trades coins with high potential, such as Bitcoin, he can make a profit later even though he is still at a loss now. The coin will reverse course and increase past its purchase price. Using the stop loss option is a way to reduce losses if the market is bearish to avoid large losses when the price drops drastically.
And don't give up if you can't make a profit. You still have time to learn to trade so use it to improve your skills.
Learning is continuous and I agree that we should strive and persevere even though we have experienced losses, the good part is we accumulate knowledge on those experiences that can serve as our stepping stone to understanding the market and start profiting after learning the curves of trading.
By continuing to learn about trading, a person can improve their ability to analyze so that their chances of making a profit can be better than before. Use previous losses as lessons to learn where the mistakes were so that we can correct them in the next trade. And becoming a professional trader requires continuous learning.
