Investment here in my opinion is more directed to trade. While holding btc or alt, most of us also use it to make profit whether for long term or short term. Trading is always said to be better, but the risk is same as gambling that's losing even some altcoin now experience a significant fall in prices. However, sometimes i do gambling to fill the saturation only.
Gambling is unpredictable game. here we can not guess which bet we will win or which bet we will lose. But it will give us a sudden profit and many times and we end up with the suddenly loss. While investment risk can be mitigated by research. Researching if the company is legit and if the venture is really profitable or not.
Agree, the risk in gambling is higher than investing, in gambling we just rely on luck, and luck is randomness, only the experience gambler could make a good profit because they had good emotion control and not greedy except skill-based gambling, you can research and analyse for it so it should help you to make good profits. in another hand, investing, the lost can be prevented if we carefully analyze the market, we should react earlier if a thing doesn't go right.
Well, we should improve ourselves in order to be profitable in gambling, nothing is impossible, if others were able to get the success then
for sure we also have a chance, we just need to show our dedication and make gambling as our passion.
I know it's not that easy therefore you have to work hard in order to make it happen, if you fail you can still look for other way, keep trying.
