So the question is if Bitcoin Trading is a Gamble or not?
I will express my views here and would love to know what you guys think.

It's investing. Buying and selling Bitcoin is an investment. Now, Is it Gambling?
There's a difference between Trading and Investing. Trading involves capital inhand kept for short period, typically for a few days, hours or even minutes. Investments on the other hand tend to be in months, years or even decades.

Bitcoin Trading isn't Gambling but Buying Bitcoin is gambling, in the sense that its an investment that could price crash at any time.

We surely does different key points on this thing. In my own point of view, trading is a gamble in a classy way. It's not that you are really gambling but the mindset was changed due to the word "trade".

But what we are doing there is totally the same as binaries, it has a win and lose result so that will be like the same as gambling.

Other traders/gamblers will say like this, "it's not a typical gamble but it's quite a gamble." Shaking my head. Huh

Well, in my own point of view also bitcoin is trading gambling because you have the right if you want too, to sell it at your goal price as long as you want to sell it in your own goal of price while it is also investment gambling because you can also keep holding it for atleast months or atleast years or let's just say a decades but this is very dangerous if it's keep in decades because we don't know the future of bitcoin weather it will grow more or wil going to crash sooner or later.

Just like what I'd said that it was quite a gamble but that's not totally a gamble. It's confusing right? But we are playing differently the usual way of gambling is.

There are some sort of similarity with binary trading which is also a trading that you will predict a price but it's totally different. I know you are confused the way I'm explaining but it all goes depending on how you will take a look at bitcoin trading.

To make it short, things that has risk is surely a gamble.

Gamble is always there because we risk something and talking about binary options i would consider it to be more a gambling thing than on those traditional trading ways on bitcoins price.If you just put up some orders without any preparations then most of the time you will lose up some funds or this kind of step isnt really different from gambling at all.

I'm just comparing binary trading with the normal or usual way of trading. I'm giving it as an example as others are calling it a way to trade and some treat it as completely way of gambling.

Okay let's set it here.

Trading does have risk, gambling does have risk. You can gamble without thinking and you can trade even without thinking.

You can recover easily with trading and you can't with gambling but it all depends on the situation as there are gamblers who can recover their losses luckily and it's easy to them.

Okay, I'll stop here as we are getting far.
