As a former gambling addict I can categorically guarantee that BTC is not gambling.
In gambling almost always the house is the winner not you and/or me.
The only way I would lose (and even then it would be minimal losses) is if BTC drops below the price I bought in.
That was 3 digits.
I think the chances of THAT happening are less than 10,000 to 1.
I like how you put it and if Bitcoin were a brand, you would be one of the ideal ambassador to represent it. Your comment above counters the misguided critiques and excuses from Bitcoin skeptics. With Bitcoin the only true losers are those who given in to fear and sell below the price they bought it at due to FOMO and FUD.
