Its similar to casino.
Its Same like You lose some% and win some%
It may be true in some cases, but it is not exactly like that.
Lose or win will depend on how we make or do with the coins.
If we only trade for getting the profits and following any hype without any analysis both fundamental and also technicals, it will be the same, like gambling, only putting lucks on what we bought and get profits.
But it is different if we have been analyzing it, fundamentally and technically at least. Although there will not be a 100% correct analysis, at least, we have done our best analysis to minimize losing.
Actually, losing means you sell the coins under the price that we bought, or when we cut loss to get another jump to other coins.
However, as long as we still have the coins, we don't lose them. There will be several stages for it. And also, we can use it for a short or long-term holds.
Different from gambling, we will lose the funds at the time after we really don't win, we cannot hold the coins again if they have been lost from the game.
