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.

To me, it has nothing to do with gambling.
In gambling, it's just you versus mathmatics. You have no chance to win in the longterm.
By trading, several skills must be used to achieve the best result; in gambling it makes almost no difference if you're experienced / skilled or not.

It differs with sports gambling which is pretty much the same as trading because you can set limits and control the way you loose or win a bet. I don't think you are not gambling as a trader also because the outcome of a trade can go either way too (profit or loss).
