Your argument is that once it's high risk, it's gambling. Sorry but that is just not the case. It's a ratio. If you don't understand this, then I agree that you should stay away from anything that involves risk management.

Let's say we play a game where you throw a coin 3 times in the air. If it's not 3 times head, I'll pay you $1. If it's 3 times head, you pay me $10.

Your chance of winning is pretty high, while my chance is low. Yet, I would love to play this game.

No, my argument is that once it's a matter of "you could lose everything or make it big!" is gambling.

With totally unknown values.

This is exactly what the people who currently hold bitcoin are suggesting to those who don't.

I never suggested this, as you could see a few replies up:

> Right now, you came late to the game, so don't expect a x100. The risk is probably still the same, but the upside way lower. But when Bitcoin was still young, the upside was definitely worth the risk.

Nevermind, this conversation is clearly going nowhere.
