I've been a full-time crypto trader since 2018, and I seriously dislike when people compare trading to gambling or casino games. That comparison is overly simplistic and, frankly, inaccurate.
To me, trading especially in crypto is much more like poker. Why? Because, like in poker, you operate with incomplete information, but you can improve your odds through skill, experience, and decision-making.
You’re constantly analyzing charts, reading the market’s “body language,” adapting to shifting conditions. You can change your strategy mid-trade, scale in or out, use stop-losses. There’s technical analysis, sentiment analysis, macroeconomic trends tools that help you make informed decisions.
Yes, it’s incredibly difficult. Yes, most people lose. But that’s because most people don’t treat it like a profession.
Let’s not forget: the global economy runs on financial marketsstocks, bonds, futures. Crypto is just the latest extension of that. Is Wall Street a casino? No. It’s a system. And just like in poker, the edge comes from mastering that system, not luck.
