I think investing is more risky than gambling because most of investing websites are just scam, but in gambling you have better chances to make your bitcoin grow. How about you guys what do you think?
Today I think it's better to gamble than to invest because I haven't heard of a good legit investment site most are just Ponzi and HYIP and investing there will just lead to nothing specially if the site started to fold. And I would rather gamble with my BTC at least I know I'm gambling and it's fun.

I Prefer Investing, Why? It Is because You Can Choose Investment Sites That Could Give you a Better Future by asking some Persons Who are Professionals into it and is Respected and Trusted Like Campaign managers, you can Ask Them Where To Invest Safely.

Gambling can Give you a Thrill When you always Win But if You will not Be aware of Yourself you will become Greedy And Can bring you To your downfall.

For me It is Better to Invest than to Gamble.
nowadays it is rare to find a trusted investment sites, most of it usually is a Ponzi scheme site and if you asking someone referenced about it sometimes it biased you should stay away from this kind investment.you better invest in altcoins, research the altcoins on your own and I'm sure if you do it right you will get some profit.
That is why I don't recommend investment sites at all even if people will tell me then its paying them or whatsoever because we really don't know what will happen when no one will invest anymore. Its better to invest your money in crypto and put it in your offline wallet and hold it for long term.

I think its better to invest because you have assirance compare to gamble anytime you will lose.. i know somehow in investing, its not a sure ball though but at least its quiet safe than gambling. You dont base in luck but you make it sure whatever you invest it will work out and that you get something from it for sure. While in gambling you alreaddy know that maybe you will not gain anything if you lose.
You are right, Investing is more better than gambling, because if you know exactly when you invest and in what you invest, for sure you will make a good profit in the future, but when we talk about gambling, we talk moslty about luck, I think it's too risky compared to investing in any domain, because in gambling you can lose at any time, but for exemple if you invest in some financial market, you can control your orders.
True. At least we know what will happen to our money if we invest. We already have a heads up about the money we invest while if we gamble we are not pretty sure if the money will have profit or we lose right there and then. When we invest, it has different of type of investment or investing. Like we invest for a land or a jewelry. This kind of investment is a sure ball on the long run that we can re sell it. Or invest in a certain business that you already studied if it will be profitable. In gambling, you already accepted the fact that anytime you will lose the money. So thats a little scary.

There are pros and cons on both sides but for me, I think gambling is riskier than investing that's because in gambling you can just lose a lot of BTC in an instant with just one click but in investing you can choose right one so you don't get scammed or lose all of your BTC in an instant. I do believe that investing is much better than gambling because in investing you can really see that you will earn in the long term. There are still risks in investing and its not 100% that you will really earn but the chances are higher than gambling. In gambling it really depends on luck and I don't think that you'll always have the luck to win in every gambling game that you play. I think it is just a matter of the person preference on either he/she wants to gamble or invest but for me i'll always choose investing than gambling.

Of course the investment would be better than gambling.

In some point yes

But it would be better if we start all of it from gambling.

You totally got this mixed up

Because we will already understand what it means to "bet". I think, if we start trading, or investment it is certain we are faced with a big gamble.

Clearly you dont understand what you are typing. Investment is not really a gamble if you know what to invest, besides you should be aware of the risk already if you put your money in an investment


For example, when the BTC price reaches such a value, do we dare buy it for speculation that in the future it will rise?

Nope but it worth the risk because with every risk there is a reward as well

For me investment is better than gambling the reason is I am not that much lucky and the second reason is I have not that much experience to gamble. The gambler are very experienced person and they are entirely skilled related to gambling sometimes they fail but many times they win the games by their experience.

I could not say that investment is better than gambling, because it depends on where you are going to invest your money, but I think you are thinking about those HYIP sites out there which you think that are legit, well let me said this, they are not, they are just good in the first place, but once they have knew that there are lots of people who invested on their site already, then they are going to vanish in an instant.

So, it is not safe after all, but if you are going to put your money in bitcoin, then I could say yes, because you can guarantee yourself that you could something in return in the long run.
Yes absolutely agree. Gambling and investing have both posses risk in different manner, because we can't always predict the coming situation. Gambling is only better if you're seeking fun, leisure and have much money  that you can afford to lost because winning in gambling is not always a guarantee. Comparing to investment that the risk is not too high and its really depends on how will you going to manage the money to make it secure, only it takes time to make you profitable on the way of investment. As for me i will prefer to invest rather than to bet gambling.

For example, when the BTC price reaches such a value, do we dare buy it for speculation that in the future it will rise? It's almost similar to gambling, right? Indeed gambling is important for a lesson before we start trading or investment. The rest, it's better to start investing, and just leave the gambling.

Gambling to have fun is not at risk at all? I'm not sure about that. The risk remains, even if you gamble for money or to have fun, you will not be able to eliminate that risk. Risks are already part of the gamble. Gambling to have fun can lose a lot of money. Because the most important thing is self-control, not the purpose.

Let me ask you, what is the risk when you gamble just for fun? No matter how much you will lose on gambling, but if your main goal is to have fun then losing is not a risk at all because you notice it very well. When you gamble for fun, you have your limit already so you should not lose more than you cant afford to lose. But if you lose a lot of money and take it as a risk, it means that you are not gambling for fun but for profit.

both have risks. in gambling if you can't control the emotions, then it's the loss you will get. I think in investment risk can be reduced if you understand what you want to invest
The risk is common in both gamble and investment. we can be reduced our loss in gambling by limiting our capital and in investment, we can't predict when the loss will come.
Risk in investment is not equal to risk with gambling. If you invest in some promising ICO or just buy some promising altcoin at low price than you can easily make good profit by just holding them for few months. However in gambling you can either multiply your bet amount or you will loss all at one single roll if you turn out to be unlucky.

It is risky in both side but with investment we could get money in the long term although it may not be that much. If it is gambling then we could get alot more but remember that gambling is supposed to make us lose. I wouldnt really gamble high amount of money because it is the same as wasting all the money that you could have use as investment
what makes people choose to gamble are when they never be patient to get profit and just straight go to casino for instant money , they thought they would always get that but it's just a dream to having profit everytime you place a bet. investment much more better and secure . you won't feel too much regret , but in gambling it's full of regret believe me.

The idea about those people who has short patience on their profit is they really wanted a fast profit and not on a expectations that on investments there is always a good future. Many situations can prove that not just gambling as an easy money to think of, but you cannot expect that in gambling you can have a better assurance to win lucky profit always, but reality happens and losing from your bets might be a recurring activity. My advice to those who were into trap of this idea about gambling is they better be back on investments and bitcoin is the only way to give them better profit in the future.
gambling are for luck seeker , if you looking for steady profit here then you are in the wrong place , i wouldn't say gambling for entertainment as it won't make you happy whenever you get lost and you did lost most of the times by the way. investment more legit and reliable for sure , you don't have to think twice or consult to an expert.

Gambling is also for fun seeker. Some people like me gamble not to get more money but only to have fun. I do admit that it is my addiction that caused me to keep playing but at the same time , I am really having fun. The choice between to gamble or to invest however will still be to invest because it is the best option to get money
lol there's no difference right? when you looking for luck by gamble you won't care much about money , you would only having fun in the game. i just think when you have got addicted in gambling that's mean you were gambling for money. at least that was what i'm experienced so far. don't be naive , fun doesn't make you addicted in gambling but money yeah it is.
I think that investing your money in some useful work is far better than being a so called addicted gambler. Gambling for the sake of fun has no risk at all but when it comes to the consideration of gambling as a way to earn money or a better supplication for your jobs, then this is somewhat nothing than a loss of your already earned capital. So anyone who wants to have a safe side of earning must choose investment as a better choice.

Gambling to have fun is not at risk at all? I'm not sure about that. The risk remains, even if you gamble for money or to have fun, you will not be able to eliminate that risk. Risks are already part of the gamble. Gambling to have fun can lose a lot of money. Because the most important thing is self-control, not the purpose.

You must be very lucky when someone help you in the internet world without anything in return. Sometimes those who are teaching us are not sure why they want to teach us a site to invest, most probably because of referrals or incentives everytime they invite another prey.

I'd rather gamble than invest in investment sites with no real road map, or those with "too good to be true" ROI. They are the worst, much worst than gambling since in gambling you atleast enjoy your bets before losing and if you are lucky, well you know the result.

agree, to earn from an uncertain source of income is a bad idea because we didn't know how much will we earned, so we need a steady and predictable source of income like an investment.

if compared both gambling and invest, yes is better to invest
but invest in the website trusted dont invest your money in HYIP or ponzy scheme

Its not possible that you invest in a ponzi scheme most sites are transperant in terms of the profit earned and each and every bet placed is showed live if you do end up investing in a ponzi well that's your fault because you can easily find out legit sites

People are misleading themselves for understanding investment is equal to HYIP or ponzi. These investments are really scams and people thinks that this is the only way to invest in crypto, they are not aware about trading, mining, joining an ICO and other legit investments. It's better to gamble than to invest on these scams if I were to choose. But comparing to real and legit investments, they are better.
that would be your fault most gsmbling sites are transperant about their investment , bankroll amount , interest of profit if that's not there then it is obvious that the site is a scam if you invest in any such site that is purely your problem you can't blame it on anyone
Being an investor you have to be smart because you are gambling your money, we always aim to be profitable but if we will not educate
ourselves our chances of success is very low. This forum is more than enough to get relevant information in investing, we just need to focus and spend time.

Probably investing is better for the long term, gambling only for short. You should only risk what you can affird to lose.

I sometimes collect some LTC from faucets and gamble on bitsler.com with them. Bigger amounts will be invested in BTC and promusing Alts or ICO's then.

Investment is indeed better than gambling in the long run because the chances of you getting some profits in return is higher than the chances of winning that you could have in gambling. It is all about realizing or finding where you are good at in order to be successful, if you are lucky in gambling then do it, and if you are good at investing then do it, simple as that, you don't have to push yourself to do something that you don't even know what you might lose if you are going to do it.
Luck is randomness we can't predict it, it's an uncertainty. just because you feeling today is your lucky day doesn't mean everything will go according to plan. We need self-control if we want to be profitable at gambling.

It sounds like that you are more into gambling than investing money. But my practice is someone different from yours. I do  gamble sometimes and  if I really  earn a big profit in return obviously my next step is to use most of it for the sake of investment as  it is much less risky than using the  profits again for the sake of trying my luck. In this way I'll make some more money and use it again to have fun through gambling even in online Casinos.

I believe some people consider gambling as a way of investing except its high risk and we all know that the house always wins which puts us at a disadvantage, unlike actual investing which is low risk and profits grow slowly...its the safest and better option.
I could yelling at your face if you're saying gambling is better than investing. Gambling is too easy to falling down, trust me. I saw a guy won a fucking huge bet today and in the next day, he lost everything.
From the name alone, we already know that investment will be better than gambling. And unlike investment, gambling should not be classified as a way to get profit. Gambling is just a way to get fun.
The earlier we understand that gambling is fun based it will save us from making any regrets and losing huge sums of money
