When I first came across is particularly statement (crypto is just like gambling) i was like those this person really know what he or she is saying. But after given that statement some thought I came to understand that there is truth in the statement. Because if not for the money that we can earn from cryptocurrency investment I don't think many us would want to use it for transactions which is the primary use that was first mentioned by Satoshi Nakamoto the one who invented it in 2009, nor even invest money in it. So Less face reality because many of us are into crypto ( bitcoin) because of the money we can earn from it after a long term holding, we are not into crypto for the primary purpose it was invented for which is transacting with it.
This first paragraph of yours the more I give efforts to comprehend it the more you get me more confused. Are you talking about bitcoin in this post or it's about cryptocurrencies? Because you talk cryptocurrency and same time mention Satoshi Nakamoto, meanwhile cryptocurrency could mean all crypto coins including bitcoin. Is your post about bitcoin particularly as been referred to as just like gambling or about cryptocurrencies as gambling. Because that's exactly what altcoins are like but not bitcoin. So bro, there is a difference.
