I base my question about whether a gambler can become a good bitcoin trader, because both of them share one factor which is risk. A gambler is a risk taker, he stakes his money without knowing the outcome of the game that he is about to play. There is no guarantee that he will win, yet he goes ahead to play, knowing fully well that he can lose his bet. Same thing with a bitcoin trader, he goes ahead to engage in trading knowing fully well that the market can turn around negatively for him, making him to lose his bitcoin. Yet he goes ahead to trade in the hope of making profit.
Just because both of them involve risk doesn’t mean that they the same. And because a gambler takes upon more risk (because if he lose he loses everything) doesn’t mean that he or she will be able to make money with Bitcoin trading, instead, the gambler will be able to bear any form of price drop. Gambling is more of luck than Bitcoin is, that is why you can get rich quick with gambling cause it can happen quick and instant. Bitcoin on the other hand won’t reduce in quantity but in value which can always go back up (even higher than your entry price). Both of them need different experiences aside risk management.
