Your profit came at someone else's loss, though. Gambling at a casino and winning means the casino loses money. Gambling on crypto is essentially taking money from other people, who may be gambling addicts, or suckers that have been fooled into buying crypto "because it's a good way to hedge inflation".

In both cases, the money comes from someone else’s loss. The casino’s money, is money from someone else’s loss. It just has a middleman (the casino).

I guess I just think it’s weird to suggest that the casino is somehow more moral… when they’re the same.

A pig with lipstick on, is still a pig.


Casinos aren't legally allowed to tell anyone they're "investing" their money with them. When you are at a casino, you know you're gambling your money.

Neither are moral, but the casino is regulated.
