I think bitcoin trading is not gambling. And investment is not gambling. Each person wants to fulfil the needs of their life, that is by trading or investing bitcoin. For me it is not a bad thing and it won't be harmful to each other

Bitcoin trading is also like gambling that you need to invest, but the percentage you earn income using trading is much higher than gambling. In terms of gambling you may earn a lot of income but you can possibly lost high amount. However, in terms of trading you can possibly earn high amount of income without any losing of investment.
What load of BS? Either you don't have an idea about crypto-trading, or you are just posting rubbish to increase your post-count. Who told you that there is no chance of losing your investment in trading? A lot of people have lost their entire investments in trading alts and Bitcoin. There is always a risk associated with trading. If there was none, then everybody in the world would be trading crypto.
Trading is somehow a bit of gambling , but at the end , and in the case of a loss , your loss won't depend on random parameters or just luck . Trading can go as smooth as possible according to research and how much effort and thought you've put too , it is much more safer and you got the upper hand on your money , whether with gambling , you got no hand at all and the fate of your money is a random output that you can't control by any means on earth .

So the question is if Bitcoin Trading is a Gamble or not?
I will express my views here and would love to know what you guys think.
It's investing. Buying and selling Bitcoin is an investment. Now, Is it Gambling?
There's a difference between Trading and Investing. Trading involves capital inhand kept for short period, typically for a few days, hours or even minutes. Investments on the other hand tend to be in months, years or even decades.
Bitcoin Trading isn't Gambling but Buying Bitcoin is “gambling”, in the sense that its an investment that could price crash at any time.

have deferrence trading and gambling for my opinion in the trading job you need a patience and time to wait the price raised up or you need to monitor the price when up or down that is the very important for the traders, in the gambling need a luck and skills but very risky almost 100% of you money become lost if have can't control self.
if you analyst almost the same have a risk trading and gambling both are a skills and knowledge control itself to avoid losses on that both activities
but for me trading is profitable and gambling are only for relaxation and fun not to get profits is only game.
Bitcoin trading is definitely trading as you bet on an uncertain outcome and if you take a look at the price chart, you will see its huge swings of $ thousands. If you have invested, I do not consider it as gambing, because the price continuously increased over the time.
OP It's both risky but it's different in many ways like if you trade it base on the coin if you can earn and in gambling with pure luck.I think you need to read and be careful what you post also or you create a topic here because your subject is double meaning so i say do it properly,Moreover you already create a topic then we answer your question base on what we understand in your post.
All trading is gambling in its core. You can lose your investment or you can make more money. Is is the very basic of gambling.
I don't agree with you because in trading if we have the skill to analyze the coins, we can make a profit. I think even if you are lost in trading, you still could make a profit if you have the patience to wait for the price increase back and not all people have this. and if they cannot wait the price is back, then they might be selling the coins at a low price and they lose their money. it is different from gambling which we cannot recover our money once we are a loss because the chance to make a profit is too low if we compare the trading itself.
trading is still the same as gambling because there is still a risk and your putting on your money as a form of investment to buy the specific coin in order to trade them but in the case of gambling your putting your own money as a form of bets in order to start playing.

of course yes we can still recover our money if we loose as long as we still have a balance to bet for another round. although the chances are pretty small because gambling depends on pure luck and not on skill or patience. but overall if i were to choose on both of them , id still prefer to trade rather than gambling as it is more profitable and have a lesser risk. hero member

We surely does different key points on this thing. In my own point of view, trading is a gamble in a classy way. It's not that you are really gambling but the mindset was changed due to the word "trade".I will express my views here and would love to know what you guys think.

But what we are doing there is totally the same as binaries, it has a win and lose result so that will be like the same as gambling.
Other traders/gamblers will say like this, "it's not a typical gamble but it's quite a gamble." Shaking my head.
There are some sort of similarity with binary trading which is also a trading that you will predict a price but it's totally different. I know you are confused the way I'm explaining but it all goes depending on how you will take a look at bitcoin trading.
To make it short, things that has risk is surely a gamble.
Okay let's set it here.
Trading does have risk, gambling does have risk. You can gamble without thinking and you can trade even without thinking.
You can recover easily with trading and you can't with gambling but it all depends on the situation as there are gamblers who can recover their losses luckily and it's easy to them.
Okay, I'll stop here as we are getting far.
Bitcoin Trading isn't Gambling but Buying Bitcoin is “gambling”, in the sense that its an investment that could price crash at any time.
I got your points because of the unknowm future after buying bitcoin but, I believe buying Bitcoin is far from gambling. The reason for this is that we can research early, before buying Bitcoin, we have control on when we will enter the market which is pretty logical. Even after buying Bitcoins, there are lots of option to minimize the risk and or completely nullify it. Unlike gambling that we all have only one option but to wait for the result of the "roll" after betting.

It's a gamble and by buying a coin that doesn't have an idea if it will grow or not in the future is certainly a gamble. I'll compare it to sports bet, many sports bettors are studying first the match before it comes and that's what we call analysis before betting. The same goes with trading, whether that altcoin will grow or not we need to study it first before buying it. And other traders are just gambling it that they want to buy that altcoin because they just feel it.

The hability of each "player" is based on the fact that you need to make money or, in other hand, you have to make money. The view point to face this specially new modality of investment as a gambling game, at this moment, is old-fashioned. Bitcoin has already stabilised in the world as an investment currency for the ones who do not play with cards or dices but for those who deals with economic information sources. Gambling bitcoins may be an irresponsible form of investment.

Even those who do it on Forex is also a gamble.
You risk a money and bet it on one item. That is already gambling.
They just made it a little good with names calling it "investing". But the truth is deep within it. You bet on one side thinking it will make you rich but there will always be a possibility for it to sink.

I don't see trading with cryptos including bitcoin and even alt coins gambling.
You hold those in your wallets on the exchanges you choose.
So you are not losing them but trying to leverage with them.
So you are not gambling with them necessarily but just on the pumping and dumping of the markets that you are putting them towards.

The word gamble has more than one meaning if you google up the word it could either be playing a game with stakes involved or going for a risky move that could result in a better outcome. Bitcoin trading is indeed gambling because traders want to profit and at the same time lose money. It fits with the other meaning of the word but I know that there are other people that would disagree to this.
