So the question is, can one becomes addicted to trading same way gambling can be addictive?
If yes what are the sign to know that one is becoming a trading addicts?
I honestly don’t understand why trading isn’t discussed in the Gambling board on Bitcointalk! For me, trading has always been just playing with money.
When I blow up my entire capital, the most painful part isn’t even losing the money itself, but the fact that there’s nothing left to trade with.
That’s probably what I’d call the main sign of addiction.
The same reason stock trading isn't falling under the category of gambling. But knowing how trading works it's much more complicated than just betting though, it requires certain degree of market knowledge although luck is still a big factor.
As for the newbie who just make trade based on gut feeling, maybe it might look like a gamble because there's no proper technical analysis.
If speaking frankly, I actually have the same opinion, it's just another form of speculation game with fancy words. Certainly people can have different opinion.
