Trading and Gambling are both same for me, as both are risky and waste of time, both involves risk of your money, which you can loose at any stage, so its better to stay away from both.
There are both the same kind of investment, but there are not the same giving way of profit in terms of a short term and long term investment. Because gambling always gives losses of money most of the time.
Well Gambling cannot be linked to trading . In Gambling its more of the luck on the games like slot machine, roulette etc where you play on something and either you win or you lose nothing else. While in trading there are so many things you should be aware of like knowledge, global economy, which coin is the best for trading , different exchanges etc to get the best deal.
