bitcoin trading is still pseudo, whether it includes gambling or not.

In my opinion, whether Bitcoin trading is considered gambling or not depends more on how one approaches it. If one relies solely on luck, emotion, or speculation without analysis and risk management, the activity can indeed resemble gambling.

BTC trading cannot be equated with gambling.

I agree that Bitcoin trading cannot be directly equated with gambling. In trading, decisions are ideally based on market analysis, risk management, and a well-planned strategy, whereas gambling relies more on random outcomes. However, if someone trades solely based on speculation without analysis, using all their capital, or simply chasing instant profits, these activities can resemble gambling.

bitcoin trading is still doubtful.

Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset, often raising doubts, both due to sharp price fluctuations and the inherent risks of trading. However, these doubts don't mean that Bitcoin trading isn't worth pursuing.

gambling or not clear if trading instruments require traders to have skills, then trading coins is not gambling, otherwise if it cannot be analyzed with various tools it can be included in the gambling category.

I agree that trading requires skill, analysis, and risk management. However, in my view, the ability to use various analytical tools is not enough to distinguish trading from gambling. Gambling can also involve strategy, statistics, and probability analysis. The difference lies more in the structure of the activity itself.

BTC and forex trading and even other instruments are not gambling except binary.

In my opinion, Forex or Bitcoin can turn into gambling if someone enters the market without analysis, uses excessive leverage, constantly chases losses, or opens positions based solely on gut feeling and luck. Therefore, the instrument itself is not the only factor; the trader's behavior is also crucial.

it depends on what business or program we enter, if it's a spin, casino whatever that means gambling,

I agree; it really comes down to the type of business or program involved. If a program utilizes a spin system, casino-style mechanics, or other mechanisms where the outcome relies primarily on luck, then it is more accurately categorized as gambling rather than investment or trading.

Is Bitcoin trading a gamble?
From my understanding, bitcoin is an asset, so bitcoin is not gambling and belongs to categories such as stocks and currencies.

Bitcoin is a tradable digital asset; therefore, BTC trading activity is not inherently equivalent to gambling. However, the manner in which one trades largely determines the nature of the activity. If decisions are based on analysis, risk management, strategy, and clear objectives, BTC trading is more accurately viewed as an investment or asset trading activity.
