Gambling depends on dumb luck to win.
Crypto is not comparable that way. If you do your research in crypto, the odds are in your favor to win. Try "researching" a slot maching or RNG lootbox... yeah, not going to happen, and probably will get you kicked out of the Casino.
As said, you are very late to the crypto bashing party. The fact that your comment has upvotes shows how frothing at the mouth can be quite endearing to people who hate something, however.
Sorry, but just as with any type of financial investment, in the end it's all gambling. Sure, research can mitigate risk to a certain extent, but in the end there's no difference between betting on red at a craps table, investing in stock, or buying crypto - in each case the outcome is decided by forces entirely outside of your control. As such, it's gambling, plain and simple. Learning to analyze the patterns and systems that endure in various forms of gambling to win doesn't make it any less gambling, just higher effort and (slightly) lower risk. Buying lottery tickets is still gambling even if you buy every single possible combination of numbers.
Most people today seem to be in the "crypto is only viable for investment, not mining" boat, which makes crypto for all intents and purposes no different whatsoever than buying stock or bonds or any other item with a mutually agreed-upon value. And, again, considering that this immediately means the "market" will be controlled by risk-averse, greedy, gambling addicted financiers (seriously, you know of shorting and all the other
actual, indisputable bets they rely on to make money, right?), which again means that you have
zero control. Again: this is gambling.
Oh, and then there are the bazillion scams out there, from fraudulent ICOs to exchanges shutting down and all that jazz. Alongside this you have the fact that most of the crypto community is ideologically tilted
agianst regulation and oversight, which means scams, theft and bluffs are an intrinsic part of the game, that apparently has to be accepted.
As for my comment, it was mostly pointing towards crypto proponents evangelizing "Blockchain is the future" without showing a single
actually useful example of blockchain tech outside of cryptocurrency - at least from what I've seen. There
are potential use cases, but given that people can barely agree on what "blockchain" even means, the whole discussion smacks of snake oil. If we agree that a distributed ledger system is a necessity for something to be blockchain-related, then we have to exclude a
lot of "blockchain based" tech that doesn't have that. And if it doesn't then it's not really any different from just using encryption for whatever, which has been done for decades - and thus, relating it to cryptocurrency really only serves as a rhetorical tactic to make cryptocurrency look good. Then, of course, there are a lot of situations where a distributed ledger won't be feasible for various reasons - data security, privacy, countering industrial espionage, and the cost of maintaining a distributed network of nodes to keep the ledgers running, to mention a few. The main argument for distributed ledger tech is "security through transparency", which would give most companies and governmets the heebie jeebies from a mile off. I'm all for transparency in business, but it's not realistic in a traditional capitalist system, especially in a decentralized and voluntary system. And the whole point of maintaining a distributed ledger system collapses if access to the ledger is limited. Sure, it'll make it somewhat more difficult to screw with the ledger than if there was a single copy in one place, but that's already standard operating procedure pretty much anywhere: keep your records in multiple places and compare them to screen for errors and fraud. Adding a requirement that entries be cryptographically signed doesn't really bring much new to the table.
I'm not "foaming at the mouth". If you see reasonable skepticism towards a largely untested tech that has yet to show any real potential outside of grandiose on-paper ideas or money games as "foaming at the mouth", you really ought to take a hard look at your own beliefs.
