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.
Very right. Learning some knowledge regarding the flow of bitcoin can take you to a good level of trading. While gambling that is playing while using money in the game. Although they are almost the same there are some disadvantages in gambling.
