Day trading & gambling do have similar features. Short term investing in blockchain does trump both of the latter I believe.
Indeed I will agree with you on this because short term trading is way risky as same as gambling and believe me I have had a taste of both and the results that yeilded from both field are the particular ones am not too proud of and I wouldn't ever advice anyone who is not an expert in trading to ever even venture into it. It's more preferable to just buy little coins and save and hope for the market to boom once more
Gambling to tradititonal casino games or in general games of chances is not like playing stocks and shares, however, you can actually make them the same thing if you simply ignore any basic trading rule or you are not into the deal of trading. In any case, for most people this is true, as trading requires an understanding that starts with believing that it is actually not a game of chance.
