Holding $,€,£ etc. is gambling even if you don't realize it.
The euro/USD exchange rate has varied between roughly 1 and 1.6 over the past 10 years. That's including the 2008 crisis.
Meanwhile over the last year alone the BTC/USD exchange rate varied between about 500 to 3400.
My 10 euro bill is extremely unlikely to suddenly massively increase or lose in value. That's the difference.
This low range variation is only possible because of government monetary intervention that doesn't exist on CryptoCurrency.
