Are gambling and trading really the same?

[Crwth]

I believe other people are trying to say that there is a risk, and the risk you are willing to take is like when you are gambling. That's pretty much the resemblance between the two. They are definitely different, but in terms of risk, they are the same.

I prefer trading to gambling because you have more control over risk management, stop losses, and take profits intact compared to gaming, where you depend on yourself. Sometimes, if you are in the moment, you have difficulty controlling yourself and should be honest.

I still hear from many people that gambling and trading are the same. They are just saying that since there is profit and loss in trading, there is also profit and loss in gambling. But I think that gambling depends only on luck or there is no strategy that we can use that we can guess that we will be able to profit from here. But in trading, there is a complete difference, yes, although there is profit and loss here, if you know your personal knowledge or the principles of trading, it can be easily observed that what can happen in the future or how we can profit here.

Although I know this, I would like to get some more ideas from you that will help me easily explain to those people that gambling and trading are not the same.

          Express it with your knowledge and help make it easy to understand.

I think this is completely different because gambling is dependent on your luck, otherwise you can never predict the outcome of gambling. You can lose money from your fund due to gambling. On the other hand, being a businessman, although he faces some risks, if he adopts strategies in a wise way, he can move forward step by step. He can make his path easy. If he focuses on business, he will be able to accumulate a lot of profit from there. So I think it is very important and necessary to be a businessman rather than a gambler.

Yes you are right but I still see many people saying that gambling and trading both work the same or in the same way. I basically opened this topic just to make them understand better so that I can easily explain to them that they are not the same and there are many differences.

The difference is that gambling is a place of entertainment, and many young people come here to gamble so that they can get rich quickly, but they may not know that this is not a place to get rich, but rather a place to destroy people, once you are addicted to gambling, it is difficult to get out of there, so you should never step foot on these sites, there is a possibility of losing your money every day, and on the other hand, if a trader starts investing with his knowledge and experience, he will be successful properly, it is better to have a long-term investment, then you can retain your capital and be able to accumulate profits in your fund,

While in Trading it is the opposite, although they both need to deposit money but not to play, but to invest in assets or Fiat that they will buy at a low price and sell when its price increases from the price they bought.

And if the price goes lower, it's like betting on Barcelona, you get wiped out.
It's so damn obvious everything is in both cases just luck and intuition and can go wrong at any time and still some deny that traders are just the same as gambling additcs.

Bruh, if trading would be not just luck and simple as you say why is everyone losing their shit in trading?

Everyone here says you can make money in trading because mainly the entire market is moving up, so your chances of losing money in a constant bull run are close to zero, the moment I can just buy and hold and make profits you don't have to be a genius to make money in trading you need to be an idiot in losing it.

The thing is, when the market isn't moving or when you have a less volatile market, the number of people making money drops like stone and the ones losing goes like a rocket.

Trading is gambling, get over it, there is no way of knowing the future, you can't predict the next price of BTC, you can't predict the next winner of Premier league, you can just guess it.
