That\u2019s my view, and you may disagree, but here\u2019s why I think so.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-bitcoin-is-closer-to-gambling-than-investing-3\">Why Bitcoin is closer to gambling than investing<\/h2>\n<p>When you invest in the stock market or in commodities you can at least do some research to help inform your decision. How has this fund manager performed? What is this company\u2019s growth plans? Or, what do experts think will happen to the price of gold?<\/p>\n<p>These are all questions you can answer using research to help inform you of potential outcomes. You can also get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kiplinger.com\/personal-finance\/when-should-you-call-your-financial-adviser\"><u>financial advice from experts<\/u><\/a> who know the markets and the system.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Of course, most investors know that there is always the risk of their investment tanking due to big world events such as COVID-19, or due to more localized or company-specific issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet few stocks or commodities have experienced the white-knuckle ride of Bitcoin, and that propensity for it to move suddenly, sometimes seemingly with no warning, is why it is so much harder to predict, and why it is closer to gambling than investing in my view.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One reason Bitcoin is hard to predict is because the mechanics behind it are so complex that most people don\u2019t understand them and therefore don\u2019t have the same knowledge they have of more traditional investments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I suspect die-hard crypto experts who do nothing but study Bitcoin and other similar currencies such as Ethereum will disagree with me, but this article isn\u2019t aimed at them, but at the less-well-informed majority.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"my-bitcoin-loss-3\">My Bitcoin loss<\/h2>\n<p>A few years ago when everyone seemed to be talking Bitcoin up during one of its highs, I bought $300 of it. \u00a0I saw it rise to about $500, then drop suddenly, only to go back up again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After a few months later, I withdrew it all at a loss of $50. I could swallow a $50 hit and I saw the experience as a bit of fun to see what would happen to the $300.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is, I had no idea why it was going up or down and saw no way to even remotely forecast which way it would go. I didn\u2019t like the feeling that I had no control at all.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"don-x2019-t-get-into-bitcoin-unless-you-understand-the-risks-xa0-3\">Don\u2019t get into Bitcoin unless you understand the risks\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Bitcoin is having a good 2023, with its value up 75% year-to-date. That may encourage some people to try their luck.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I say go for it if you want to have some fun, but only with money you can afford to lose, unless you really consider yourself a cryptocurrency expert.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But please beware the many companies out there trying to sell you a Bitcoin \u201cinvestment\u201d as a sure-fire way to make money.
