Definitely I see them as one in the same, trading perhaps a bit more skilled as in you can do your research on the coin and identify possible uplifts and so on but at the end of the day it is a gamble, you can win big and you can lose everything so I would say to me anyway they are the same.
Most people (especially trader) now feel desperate by calling trading same as gambling.
I totally disagree with this, trading truly need a specific skills. Everybody can be a trader ok but without specific skills then it can be called as gambler.
