As I said, the risks of both have different portions. Trading can at least anticipate losses. While gambling is not. Even gambling can become an all-consuming addiction. Despite all that, if you look at the facts of trading on the ground lately, the trading theme turns into gambling. Not a few beginners feel that trading is an act, but instead, they gamble with their shitcoins.
Even though both are different use cases but have the same risk if there is no knowledge to be involved in one of the two cases, many beginners will lose their investment due to investing in shitcoins and many gamblers lose because they cannot control their greed. To get the jackpot, knowledge must be prioritized in all matters related to finance.
