Generally speaking and without strictly confining the word 'gambling', I would say traders are also gamblers. It is because as you have earlier said, when you trade, you are against your own because you are in control. But you know, let me strike that one down because you really do not fully control the effects of trading. What you can only control is when to trade but other than that, you are already subjected to the inevitable. Hence, that to me is already gambling- gambling in the hopes of multiplying your wealth.

While you are correct when you say that gambling games have a negative expectation because the house gives itself an edge, professional trading does not give you a positive expectation, you can earn money that is true but you are not always going to earn money, this is very easy to verify because there is no trader alive that has won every singl trade.

In coin trading, you are your only enemy. There are no rules in this arena, only you facing you, and you are both winner and loser.
People may think that they are fighting with the market, other investors, or those scammers shark that always have their eyes on your money. In fact, you are fighting against yourself. You are the one who made the decision. You can decide yourself to lose or win, trust me.

As human nature, we all want to make a bunches and make it fast; too much temptation that incites us to gamble with our account.
In the end, only you can chase off the temptation to follow the plan.
Trading and gambling are both extremely risky job because you need skills for you to grow your investment. I prefer to you to just make small amount of investment for you to gain experience. You can invest big amount of money if you have now a lot of experience and knowledge.

i think trading is the best form gambling in trade you handle your self of your money if you are in profit you can iut from trade and if the lost are coming then for decrease the lost you sell your coins. in trade low risk and low profit appear in compete of gambling. but in gambling it depend on your luck you can loss all your capital in some second and if the luck is alive you can get high profit here is high risk and high profit. but trade is better from gambling.
This question has been asked so many times. Like even more than hundred times here and been replied with amazing logics and solid answers as well. But still this comes here again. But don’t worry we are here to guide and talk to those questioners. Actually these two are different just because of luck and lack of skill. This one thing is the only reason for this big difference between two.

If I need to have gambling then I would do that with my surplus btcs not with the real investments like stocks
There are no surplus bitcoin because the aim of investment is to earn more and more money and if you made some money from bitcoin investment you cannot say it surplus. Anyhow you can use this surplus for the betterment of your family and can upgrade their life style with big money besides losing in gambling. I will never vote to gambling.

Trading and gambling may almost look as if they are the same,  the truth however is that both trading and gambling are totally different.  Trading rely on skills and gambling require the same.  But the skill set are different and it's ever changing particularly for trading.
Yes trading and gambling is almost look alike so even if we say that we don't gambling hence trading is somewhat like gambling where you are playing a game that you don't know if you're gonna win or lose. But this two become different from each other in a sense of a purpose of a person who choose to trade or gamble.

Absolutely right dude trading is also another form of gambling which is you put your money with altcoin that dont have any assurance that this coin will take profit but between this two Im must prefer to do trading why?because it can give me a good profit for only short period of time.

I prefer trading and the buy only on spot market, not futures or trading with laverage. Cryptocurrencies it self is very high risk market. Why we need laverage and futures. Futures will only make you lose. And laveraging is just like gambling. I am investing in crypto not gambling. No one on earth will win in gambling for long term. If you ever win its only your lucky day.

I much prefer the trading too because that is much safer and muchbgreat because gambling is addictive even if yes they are profitable but then again that is just a game and leisure that is not a job there is no one living and sustaining his or her life by doing gambling. Just focus on trading. Gambling can lose your money in one round but in trading if you lose you can find a way to figure things out and regain that lose. But they are much more the same.
Trading has its own importance and advantage while gambling has its own; trading is more secure while gambling is less secure. On the basis of profit, gambling gives you instant huge profit while trading does not give you instant output but will take your time. If you want to keep your coins on a safe side then proceed for trading and if you went to get instant profit then proceed for gambling but the chances of losing and wining are equal here.
being a gambler really has a huge risk. we do not know it will be an advantage, or it could even be the thing that makes us bankrupt. well, i prefer to be a trader in comparison with gambler. so many advantages of being a trader, and the risk that we have smaller.

When gambling, you have a lot of chances to lose everything that you have. Trading, especially long-term trading and holding will bring you some money.

I prefer trading versus gambling because in trading you can taught your self to know how to trade and you can see if you will earn in that certain trade while in gambling, you will bet your money without the assurance if you will win.

Trading is definitely different from gambling.  Gambling has to do with luck and uncertainty event that may help or destroy.  Trading is more rational, intentional activities that trader engage in!

I think trading is more like similar to gambling but not in a manner that you lose it all if you sold your assets in wrong timing. But if you're doing gambling its a huge difference between doing the trading job. That makes the difference. This one factor is dominant over all the other factors that you are talking about. Like you have said, this lucky thing effects so amazing when we talk about gambling but if you are unlucky someday

Being a gambler is a choice in life, but for me personally i prefer to be a trader because there is a bigger chance to become rich, if a person decides to be a trader, meaning he is ready technically and emotionally, if there are times of losing it is only normal to encounter loses also but definitely you will learn from the wrong moves and calculation, but at least in trading there is at least a pattern and calculations to be realized, while in gambling it is more on luck only, sometimes mathematics is applicable too but it is really more in relying luck

I personnaly suggest you to go with trading. Because trading side risk is very low comparing with gambling. In gambling if we invest we may get profit or we loose. But trading is not like that. If the price not raised we can hold until the price are up.

Trading and gambling are the most hardest way for you to grow your investment. You should have skills that you can use in order to win in trading and gambling. Try to gather more techniques and strategies that can help you to become successful trader and gambler.

well for me i prefer trading because it's not that risky and i think i can more then the gambling is to risky but you can gain a lot.
Gambling is surely more risky because in reality more people are losing their money compared to trading.
They are both risk taking but at least in trading you can improve because you are making an educated guess which you can rely on your knowledge.

I agree that trading is a kind of game!
When I lose, I always remember the proverb: "Failure does not mean I don't have it; It does mean I have something to do in a different way".
But there is solid difference between trading and gambling. What I have perceived here about trading is, it is all based on your skills and matter of handling it with cool mind. While gambling doesn’t require you any sort of skill, rather it is based on luck. Someday if you are lucky, you might get amazing results but the very next moment if luck flew away, you might be facing giant losses.

Yes  you were right, its for us if we want to win or lose in trading. We can decide when to stop in trading, we have our knowledge if we pursue trading or not while gambling we have two fates to win or lose so between these two I prefer trading for my coins can be secure depending on what technique I can provide.

if in my opinion better trade than gamble. because trading it has a slight risk of gambling, although the result of trading is very small but it is very safe and does not violate the rules of the state and religion

Nope, the result of trading is depend how much money that you can put as a funds and also what kniwledge that you have to handle and win that game, and gambling and trading have the same risk, i mean if you know how to read the candlestick and technical analysis works the risk is totally big its likr in gambling, if you know what your doing you win that game also, so my point is, risk is depend the person what knowledge that they have.

Gambling has no comparison with trading. Indeed both are methods of making money but the former one is totally luck based whereas other one is based on your skills, experience and luck. In the latter, you have maximum chances of making money and doing things according to you. Moreover in most states, gambling is not legal. It is highly immoral since it leads to destruction of personality and money.
