Are options and event contracts in the cryptocurrency world gambling?

Of course they are, it's all about going long or short, right? If you don't know how to do it, isn't it just a guessing game? Going long is big, going short is small, isn't that just like gambling? It's exactly the same, right? If you don't know how to do it, it's gambling; if you do, then it's just a tool for you to quickly make money and hedge risks. #交易认知
