Just curious since the last discussion I had was about gambling vs trading. I know trading can seem to be a bit of a gamble as well, but I see it a little bit like poker. It's a combination of math and psychology. Maybe not the same ratio though, just generalizing Tongue

Indeed, but in the choices I much prefer to trade rathet than to gamble. Yes both of them are risky but trading is more better because gambling is all about luck while trading is also luck but more on experience and skill. Gambling can make you a rich instantly but there's a low probability for you to win. Trading can be consider as gambling but ther's a lot of difference between the two.

Trading is better than gambling.

Companies make money off of gambling because the odds are stacked against you. Every time you bet the chances of you winning are always negative. Just understand this and you'll see why it's better to trade.

Trading is an opportunity to make big money.

Trading is much more profitable than gambling, because you are not just losing everything at once, but it is true that if you are gambling you can easily make much more money than just by doing little trades.

But you need to know what you are doing, if you do not have any experience about trading, then it is a waste of time because you are going to have more losses than earnings.

So if you do not know anything about it, it is simple, just do not trade if you do not want to lose more money.

Gambling has quickly profits, but if you are unlucky, you are going to lose it all anyways.

both trading and gambling has only a thin difference. but one shouldn't invest on any of these if they cannot afford to lose the money they are investing.

Well investment is a bit mild and you can set certain parameters to control it if you know your ways around it very well but gambling can be harsh and i would opt for trading any day if i was new to gambling.

Investing is crypto is good because you will never lose if you choose a good coin as long as you know how to hold.
Those coins that has great vision will give you better profit, of course when under development the price won't pump that hard but
eventually it will rise when progress will be seen by investors.

We have to choose under development coins then only we will get those coins for a cheap price, but you must study there project thoroughly before buying any coins.
Including bitcoins, all coins will fall one time but you control your feelings and hold your coins means then you can make a profit.
Gambling is about to get fun here making money is not easy.

trading is a good choice than gambling, gambling basen on luck and it depends on your luck to playing
but trading is the best investment for the shorterm or the longterms, it depends of your analisys or a skill to traded.

They are both risky, learn what you are investing so that you won't be scared on what's happening to your investment when it's chart is negative. And in gambling, you should know what you are playing so that you are aware that you know what you are taking in and you have bigger chance of winning but still you have to invest and gamble only what you afford to lose.

They are not risky but depending on the individual i guess you can opt for trading if you can't afford to loose everything at once else go get gambling and make huge profit in a short while. There isn't much difference though as they are both risky and profitable.

Trading was not really very profitable, but because of the speculative movements, the coins were seen as an opportunity to win, and only those who speculate gain. Ordinary people earn very little.
Bet is a matter of expertise. If the person is able to earn enough regular experience regularly.

If you go for quick profits in trading then you may not be successful every time you trade because it is not so easy to guess or predict prices for the short term. So if you can't succeed in short-term trade then the best option for you is go for investments means to buy and hold the coins then surely you will make a profit. Also, remember to buy only good altcoins for holding long to make a profit.

That's how trading works in my personal experienced, chasing a coin in a daily basis won't maximized real potential earnings its really better to hold for some time and expect fluctuations and corrections but if you practice and learn to patiently waiting then the earnings would be great.
Then talking about gambling I'm not an expert so I can't really say how it works its a matter of chances and mostly a luck based industry where people got engaged to much and loses a lot because there's no such thing as waiting unlike trading where you can just hold and wait for the time where the value will jumped high.

Then its the same as buying and letting it sit in your wallet and hoping for it to rise so that you can make some profits. Trading bitcoins is almost the same as forex trading because you buy low and sell high when it rises.

I 100% agree with you mate - you have good earning potential if you go for a long-term investment with altcoins. Just make it sure that you are in a good altcoins and at the same time try to buy at low price and hold.

However, if you are good at short-term crypto trading, that is really nice way to earn quick profit.

I believe that it is necessary to use both directions if they are of interest to a person, but for trading you need more time and analysis to make a profit, and in gambling you can just enjoy the game.

You spend time in trading you can able to earn money after spending some time. But you can spend n number of time in gambling you will get only fun not gain any knowledge that helps to your life. Trading will improve your skill set as well as it will give profit. Gambling always gives you profit, but rarely you can make a profit. Both have their own qualities.

That's true, trading and gambling have their own qualities and maybe it is also depend on a person who trades and who plays gambling, sometimes we really need to be lucky enough to gain profit but some other people doesn't believe in luck and it depend on a matter of the roll of the game in terms of gambling. In trading we really need some skills/good skills to gain good profit.

Well for me, I must go with the trading. Because it more easy than gambling. And its more handable than gambling. Because in trading you can acquire knowledge on how you could be an expert traders. You can gain knowledge , then apply it in trading so that you could have more profit than other. You also have a choice weather your going to sell or not. Unlike in gambling it was just all luck. What if you dont have luck, then the tendencies your going to loose. Yes you could also acquire skills, but it is not applicable to all game in gambling.

I could not agree more with you mate. Trading is really good especially when you already acquire the required knowledge and skills to execute a good trading strategy. In trading, as long as you are not selling the altcoins yet, you are not yet a loser or a winner, you decide when to become one compared to gambling where the turnout is based on pure luck. Of course, except to gambling games that require skills like poker and sports betting.

Trading or gambling are having advantages and disadvantages.But looks like trading is much more safer than gambling.

That is the simple way on how to explain Trading between Gambling. Trading might be boring because it is demanding when it comes to time and you must be serious on Trading, unlike in gambling that you could chill or whatsoever. Trading is a sure profit than gambling, gambling will just make your money disappear while in Trading, your money will just disappear because you bought some coins but after a long run, it will turn into a big profit.

Actually there is no sure profit in both, they are both risky but it will be depending on your skills and your interest because if you put your passion in whatever you do you have a greater chance to be successful. For me, I choose trading because I believe I can grow my skills as this is based on real event and news where I can analyze clearly unlike in gambling where you need to rely solely on your luck.

nothing has a sure profit indeed in trading and gambling , you need to put a lot effort first.

and then the result will come , trading for most people be more reliable because it is not about only luck but more to how you see the market and go for it , while gambling completely about luck and nothing else and actually both are money gaming .

That is true. There are really good traders who have a good system and criteria on what coins to invest and almost always win the trades more than losing trades. I am having good and bad trades for now and not have much of a good trade but keep on learning in the process.

yes but based on the statistics , those people who really success through trading are still few .

just like gambling case where mostly did not happy also did not have a good story . trading still a risky thing to do when it comes to making money continuously , consistency are the key and being so consistent are not an easy job for sure.
