I have outperformed bitcoin by 10,000% by daytrading and these increases have been steady since 2013. Daytrading is not gambling. It is a simple system where you learn to buy high volume dips and crashes, and breakouts.
what you explained here is no doubt gambling!
You don't just buy when there is a high volume dip or crash, you basically gambling and hoping that the market recovers to what it was or even better and this kind of crypto buying ( day trading) is not always a smooth ride as market could further crash as was the case when bitcoin rose to as high as $19k and has not recovered since...
