Trading shitcoins might be completely risky and can end up with losing all your investment. So does gambling as well, it might provide us higher yield of investments or can make us lose everything.

Only a very few of us consider gambling as a form of game or entertainment while majority of them play for immediate profits which are quite risky and can end up losing all over money...
