Trading is considered to be a gamble but the risk involved cannot be considered the same as risk in gambling. It is a gamble in a sense that you put an amount of money to it and picking a stock that you think will increase in price. In this point we are taking the gamble of either losing the investment or getting a profit from it. With the controlled risk, this difinitely make trading different from gambling games. So no, they are not the same.
You are wrong! This is not about money, but about skills! When we take a poker player with very high skills, he will do nothing with altcoin trading, and this same will happen with altcoin trader when he will start playing poker!
Everyone must find their place and use their skills in the right way!
I think you are the wrong guy here, he said it in a sense that he has a point, though we have different points and kind of thinking, we have our own idea about this. I guess saying this is not about money is wrong, if you are not trading and gambling why are you doing it? Yes I do gambling for fun and things but I also hope I win some. Even trading aims to have a profit from it that is why it is about money.
Skills are needed to gamble and to trade, but it is not all about it.
