Do I need a lot of GPU for trading like mining? And mining and trading is different right. So How will I learn buying a PC? because I only got my laptop here no desktop. Which is the easiest way to earn? Mine or trade?

they are apples and oranges!
mining is using your computer's power to mine cryptocurrencies and get paid the reward for finding a block.
trading is buying and selling altcoins. buying low and selling high!

for mining you obviously need equipment, either specific mining equipment like ASICs or a good and expensive GPU. and it will cost you, because of electricity cost,...

for trading you just need to find a way to buy and sell them. usually people do it on an exchange site like bitfinex, poloniex, bittrex, kraken,...

They are different things
You don't need GPU, ASIC Miner to trade, you just need fiat money/btc to buy coin and then sell it when you get profit. If a coin you buy still not profitable to sell you can keep it until coin hit profit

How about mining?
In simple words mining is activity to earn bitcoin/altcoin using hardware, you just need to point your hardware to miner pool and then you get reward.

I can trade with a smartphone. It doesn't take any special equipment to trade Bitcoins because you're just using an exchange just like you would trade stocks or mutual funds. You're using a third party site to do the trading.

If you want to mine, you probably can't make a profit with a basic laptop. You need the proper hardware and even then there is no guarantee that you can make money. Trading is simple, but profits are not easy with that either.

Mining and trading is two different thing, basically in trading, you need to read a lot of news about different altcoins that you are planning to purchase at the lowest price, and selling them away at a high price in order to gain some profits from the trades. If you plan to start mining bitcoin or altcoins, you need to purchase the proper equipment to start your own mining farm.

It's like these: Is working and sleeping same?
Of course not, but idea is same - Profit. You can buy equipment and mine coins or if you can to be a good trader, grow number of your coins by exchanging them (buy on low price, sell on high). In trading, mistake can cause loss but in mining you need good equipment, low electricity fees and good cooling system, that's all.

Mining and trading are not the same because mining needs more time in order to gain a profit from your capital while trading the capital can be hold and earn an income depending on what you buy and sell it and the most profitable way is trading that you can earn a money because of your knowledge and skills in trading.

You got 2 completely different things.

Mining = Using your computer to earn bitcoin.
Trading = Using already owned capital (bitcoins) to profit.

In the end, you can do both but they are completely different concepts and have very little correlation.

It's pretty much like saying, "What is the easiest way to earn? to be employed on this company, or to start my own business?". It will obviously be different for each person. If you're a good trader, then trade! If you have enough money for a good number of graphics card, then go mine! And guess what, you can do both! Deciding which is more profitable completely depends on you and your skills in probably calculating profitability taking into consideration the change in mining difficulty and the change in price, vs your trading skills.

It is totally different, both of them is the way to earn but each of them need different things

Mining : you need gpu, a good cpu to start mining it, the price depends on how willing you spend your money to mine, you don't need any skill

Trading: you need a good skill and able to read chart and to speculate, you need capital to start, the capital to start is depend on how much you want to earn, for beginner you need to learn a lot before you can get profit

The best way to earn for me is trading because there are no limit amount that you can get, but need time and dedication to earn

Since you only have a laptop (and even if you do have a desktop) then you can not do mining...except maybe with new cryptocurrencies really designed that way but as to Bitcoin and other well-known coins you must buy a set of equipment whose main purpose is to mine cryptos. And they are not really cheap so you must have some capital before you can get into mining seriously.

Yes, with a laptop you can do trading but here you also need some capital though you can start as small as you want just to test the waters, so to speak. Trading can also be a very risky venture if you don't know what you are doing so I suggest that you take things gradually and invest more on the things you need to know before challenging the trading world.

As long as you have that eagerness and the vision for a better future, I am sure you can find the right ways to arrive at your dreams. Good luck and have a nice day!

What came to your mind that mining is similar to trading? While in trading you are indulging on exchanging your handle alts on different coins and you can actually earn more profits if your coins gets a higher price by the time you exchange it and while in mining you don't have to do anything since you only wait for the profits to came on your wallet. Maybe its better for you to read more articles about it so that you can differentiate the both platforms.

Mining has a big different to trading, your so ridiculous comparing those two are the same of course not. Trade is more on adding assets to your portfolio and it gives you a lot of money or if luckily can make you a millionaires. while mining, you will just wait for the return of of your ROI.

if u have finance skill and forex u can try trade. but if u want safe so can mine. mine is ez. u can find some seller and tell them set up for u.

Trading and mining are different field in my opnion trading is very easy as you said much GPU i would suggest you that if you are trading it is mean that you are investing too while in my mining you need very hard work which is not that much easy what are you expecting so i would like to say that we should do everything with positive work.

Mining and trading is not the same because you can earn bigger amount of money in trading rather than mining because mining is not flexible in terms of profit because you are only depending on the hardwares and they only mining for almost fixed rate of amount of coins per day so it is not like trading that your profit is very flexible.

Well they are a complete different way of earning profits. They have the same goal but in a different manner.

Mining is the use of GPUs or sometimes CPUs of the computer to try to solve given problems to earn bitcoins in exchange. This is very different to trading. You do tradings when you want to earn profit to your current Coins. You try to buy coins as low as they can be and holding them as long as you can waiting for their prices to pump and then selling them. You do this every time and earn money from it.
Mining requires hardwares that needs to be use and some patience while trading requires skills, talent, experience, dedication and a lot of patience to be successful. Which of the two is good? Well for me, I would tell you that it is trading where you can get really big profits when done right and at the right timing.

To sum it all, they are completely different which has its own good and bad points in terms of getting BTC.

I think different, mining and trading have very much difference. mining is coin mining means we are looking for coins using VGA tools and also very many components to generate coins as revenue. while trading is just buying a coin then to be traded at a high price to generate profit.

Mining and trading are defenetively not the same. The main difference is, that you "create" coins and at trading you exchange them. The difference in result depends on the kind of trading. The aim of mining is on longterm profits, trading can result long or shortterm profits.

Trading and mining both are different but both related each other. if you are mining any coin then you should have knowledge about trading then only you can able to make a profit in mining. Mining is the easiest way to earn money, but the investment is very high the GPU cost is high remaining you will get it at normal

Mining is done using GPU and mining hardware built specially for mining but for trading you simply need a laptop or desktop. You can also trade in most of the platform with your smartphone on the go.

So for trading you don't need any sophisticated hardware or machine but you need to learn trading with your own experience and judgement. Also remember trading is passive earning and 90% of traders who try to earn from trading fails to make any profit.

Why trading is passive income?
I remember we need spend our time for work, learn knowledge, reseach and improve our skills, experience about trading everyday if want succeed in this field. ???

I don't believe it is.

If you want to trade, your laptop is enough for it.
just access the exchange,make a deposit to your account and start trading.

however, you need to learn about trading analysis.



depending on your interests, I prefer trading because I don't have more electric power to mining

For trading we don't need pc with high quality, but for mining, we need that. Because you only have laptop, I suggest trading not mining. Mining and trading is not the easy way to make profit, there's risk you must understand before start it. Search knowledge before doing something will help you survive. Have a nice day.
 

no no..mining and trading has lot defference for sure,..i know that trading is the bettter way for me..im doing trading

mining and trading are really really different things. but main thing is:
both need a lot of reading, studying and research ;)

Mining and trading, both are two absolutely different methods of earning bitcoin or any other crypto currency. However, you can't mine bitcoin with a high end PC because difficulty is really high. You need mining rigs to mine bitcoin. Mining rigs are really expensive and you will have to invest a lot of money before you can start with profitable mining.

Trading is a cheaper method to start with bitcoin because it requires only a small amount of initial investment. You can gradually increase the amount of investment which will increase the profit too. Also trading is unpredictable, so you can also make a big amount of profit from trading as well with a minimum investment.

It is a both source of Profits but in terms of knowledge its totally different in a way how will you able to figure out,
Of course GPU unit is needed but its not trading it is different, a trading is needing your skills to earn and mining is needing a pc and hardwares for you to mine.

Trading may be the best for coin that needs profesional preparation to get it, like Bitcoin.
Trading Bitcoin is the best t get it for common people.

Mining may be better for small value and small resource preparation.

It is different but I like both.

Trading requires an specific amount of investment to start on and just as you've said it requires professional preparations like studying the background and updates about a coin.
Mining is a GPU based way of earning free coins such as bitcoin, litecoin and any other coins that allows us to earn them by mining them but it requires a lot of time and a nice computer build to even start of.
You can do both where you use what you earn on mining to do trading so you can earn faster.

You are correct. Trading is no way a passive income, on other hand I would say mining is passive income as it only requires good hardware and you are all set. While for trading along with time you need to have knowledge of when to buy when to sell what to buy what to sell.. etc.

Trading & mining are not same.
Mining is the process of adding transaction records to Bitcoin's public ledger of past transactions but trading not like this.so totally different.

Definitely not! Mining and trading are whole different stories. Both professions are poles apart. Trading is all about buying and selling of an asset by predicting market values whereas mining does not include any sort of buying or selling of asset. Miners confirm transactions and without them, crypto world will be doomed.

It is totally different. if someone mining Bitcoin, that means the person is using a mining device. Can use CPU, GPU, FPGA, or ASIC. if someone trading it's just buy and sell no need a lot of GPU like mining

For me it is easier for us to be trading. trading is not a big investment to get started in mining. In trading you need more knowledge on your mining need more capital so you can get a lot of bitcoin or altcoin. disadvantage in mining when the market of bitcoin falls as your mining is the same as trading in your pocket as the falling price of bitcoin is still a profit while dumping bitcoin price. but if you have a lot of money just wishing for a headache, it's really a matter of what happens in the market open or later.

trading: indeed it’s very easy and doesn’t need much fund but the profit will be a bit difficult to gain, because you need a strategy where you buy coin at a low price and you sell it back at a high price and on the other hand you have a lot of trading competitors and you also have to choose a third party that you trust for your smooth trading with no obstacle.
Mining: you need to have a GPU, an ASIC miner to have a good mining and satisfying income if you have a laptop that you normally use, maybe it will be hard to use as an altcoin mining.

mining - long time for ROI back money but it safer than trading

No its not the same, But what they have in common is you both need to have capital to start either trading or bitcoin mining. Bitcoin mining requires electric consumption and it will really fires up your electricity bills depending on how strong your gpu but in return you gain more bitcoins. Trading needs capital and the higher your capital then same as the profit. Trading takes time to learn and its very risky, You need to think wisely on what coins your going to invest because sooner it might drop the price.

in my opinion mining and trading have different benefits and funds
Mining: if you want to have a great profit you must have fund and great cost as well to buy expensive hardware devices and surely you have to pay the electricity bill more expensive than usual

you can trade while mining

Still there are many similarities available in both the platform. These both platform will change accordingly when the bitcoin price changes in the marketplace. Profit always increases whenever the bitcoin value increases. In trading you need to have main fund in your wallet account and in mining you need to buy the hash power to increase the mining limit and speed.

You do still need to search up about bitcoin/altcoin mining and regarding with trading too.They are entirely different honestly speaking. You wont need to PC necessarily to mine since you would really need GPU on mining altcoins and ASIC miners on mining bitcoin. Regarding on profitability mining is good but if only the cost of electricity on your place is low then it would be ideal to mine but if not then better not to bother at all. Trading is on different story, from the word trading you would need to buy and sell coins depending on your choice.Its profitable if you do know on what you are doing.

Trading and mining is different and trading is way better than mining for me because when you mine you have to buy a lot of GPU and you have to maintain it plus you need to pay for your electricity bill. While in trading if you have the skills and money then you will surely make money and you don't have to pay anything all you have to put is time and effort.

Ya true. In mining you will get very huge profit than trading. In trading of bitcoin, time is very essential .If the price is reached maximum value and peak means, you should sell your holding bitcoin.If you check the price periodically means, the trading will be very fine.You will get good profit soon.

No... You do not need GPU to trade. You only need a good capital to start trading. Choosing an exchange to trade is important, it is the same as choosing a pool to mine, but you do not need GPU. And, you only need some basic knowledge about computer to start mining, but you need to learn a lot if you want to become a good trader

I don't think so. I think mining is quite different from trading. Mining involves creating wealth through generating profits through the use of the hashing power of your machines while trading is generating profit from buying low and selling high whatever assets you see fit. So that is totally a big difference and you can't really say they are the same.

Don't determine which one is superior between the two in terms of profits because your total profits depends on many factors. you just have to choose between

the two on what really suits you. examples are in terms of budget you'll be spending a lot more if you go with mining rather than trading. Both of them are

completely different but somewhat related because of cryptos

Mining and trading is not the easy way to make profit on the real market, those thing has risk and no one like it. For mining we need a lot of money to start ( equipment ) and don't using laptop for mine. you'll get nothing. Trading need knowledge and practice, but pc or laptop can be used. I suggest trade not mine, calculate everything before starting something. Thank you.

I think the same as you, but i dont know why there are so many people who doesnt understand a sh*t about how bitcoin works and they are still wanting to invest in it.
Trading an mining are so different things.. you can do that research in google in just 3 minutes instead of asking in here.. Also the word speaks for itself.. "mining & trading"...

There is no problem asking it here since bitcointalk forum is trusted to ask any related in bitcoin..
trading is those people who can invest with less capital to start trading and if you are mining you need a large amount of money to mine a good amount of altcoin or bitcoin..
For me better to start in trading if you earn profit just save until you can buy your own mining rig..

I am sorry to say but it is like comparing petrol and water because both of them require electricity and electric pump/ motor when you want to fill them in a bottle. Come on are you silly? There is nothing same in trading and mining they both are far different from each other. Just because bitcoin price has influence on them doesn't make them identical. Trading is something could be started with a very little amount like buy alts according to your capacity while mining is a very expensive game the way it's been started.

Nope. You don't have to have a lot of GPU when you trade even a single GPU is enough. Trading isn't depending on the GPU's.


Exactly and good to know that you know it.


You can learn through tutorials, articles and threads here in forum. If you have laptop that would suffice your trading desire.


If you can invest for mining rigs, mining is easiest way. You just let your rig run and generate money for you.

But trading does not gives you a passive income like mining, of course not only GPU can mining. Today, Asic mining also good choice for newbie want become a miner, but this field always has high competition.

of course it's very different. minning requires equipment like a very sophisticated composter, and some expensive vga. well, while trading, you can even do that on an old computer if it supports firefox and google chrome

Well that is the advantage of mining if you hardware can stay running smooth and can live more for a long time to mine altcoin i think mining is more profitable but in order to make large profit in mining you need to invest huge amount of money before you can build or buy your own mining rig. .unlike trading even you start in small amount you can be make a large profit depends in the altcoin you holding ..

Mining is requirements VGA card. You should have many VGA cards as much as you can to mine a good quanlity coins. Mining doesn't need a desktop for real. Only need VGA cards.
Trading is suitable with guys have a business brain. Sometimes it need luck or timing but mostly it needs skills and the best thing is news.

You can start mining with only one graphics card but if you have multiple cards then probably it can gain more coins and the hash rate is also depending on the model. Now if you want to start trading you also need to invest money and the profit will be depending on the amount of your capital.

Mining and trading are different platform of earning money, Mining are quite expensive because you need powerful cpu's to extract puzzled blocks in the web, However trading are some kind of method that you have to buy alt coins and when the price is high , you sell it,
Both of them can generate money.

Of course not. Trading and mining are really different to each other. I prefer to you to do trading than mining because trading is more profitable than mining. In mining you need a high capital to buy a very good pc.

Trading and mining are 2 totally different things. Just as the name implies, Trading is exchanging in between 2 currencies and taking advantage of the margins to make profit, while mining is finding a block with some other processes and earning some coins in the process. however, mining requires more capital and technicality to setup while with just your PC and some skills, you can start trading right away.

Mining able to generate more coin so more profit , the problem only it's hash rate and electricity bill
Meanwhile , trading is more simple since you can do it in everywhere , anytime with less capital compare with Mining
Overall it's depend on each personal need whenever they want trade or mining with hardware, there are always the risk beneath them

If they are both to be analyzed, mining needs equipments, quality ones, which will cost a lot and for a little I have read of mining,  it can't be done by one person you will need a partner, cause to a point, it becomes too difficult to handle alone. But for trading, it is just buying and selling of Altcoins in some exchange sites like Bittrex, bitfinex etc. You can get your Altcoins by buying low and selling high, it's just the formula for trading.
So, it is more easier to trade than mine.

you are sure to minimize the cooling of beautiful devices so you can actually get over it. for different mining and trading. mining is a lonterm you have to get your profit or roi because every month you pay a bill. this is expenses you can not even say it's your profit until you get your capital in your mining rig. the trading simple capital or big capital trading pede in your trading capital grows in one day or weekly or maybe a month as long as you know about trading lesser losses in your capital. In trading with losses you also do not always have a profit.

Is Making child and Swapping same?

Its totally different, For me trading is more easy than mining because to learn trading we can learn it from google and youtube and actually simple way to do it just buy lower and sell high  but mining we need to understand hardware and other equipment also need cost high and very difficult to understant and learn it by self.

mining and trading is the same that is to get Bitcoin just a different way.
1. mining rely on GPU to mine Bitcoin.
2. Trading is buying and selling to produce Bitcoin.

Obviously, they're not the same actually.  Doing trade is much more Easier for us to earn bitcoin. it doesn't need any mining rig, asicminer, or ant miner for you to earn bitcoin.

No not even close there are same in return wise as both can only be estimated prior to time weather it will mine XX coins or generate XX profit we can't pre judge these factors. I would prefer trading more as mining requires lot of tools and capital to make it profitable for long term. On other hand trading is more easier way and less complicated than mining if you just follow the market you will make more profit

Mining and Trading are very different from each other. Trading is far better than mining because mining could consume lots of electricity and effort before getting coins while trading is simply go the exchange center and with just a few clicks your done trading.
 

Trading is better cause it's not as stressful as mining. Trading is about buying altcoins when their price is low and selling them when their price goes high and then you make out your profit, and no charges are  to be paid or made,  but for mining it cost alot of electricity bill and equipments that must be bought and maintained.

for mining seems very difficult because it requires a lot of equipment and also costs incurred to be routine per month. I think mining is only suitable for people who have very large capital and have expertise in the field of computer and network technicians.

they are obviously different as you can see trading does not need a gpu or hardware to get started instead youll just only need a capital or enough funds to get started and also a proper knowledge or trading skills because trading tends to be risky and a bit hard for a begginer to understand how stuff works. in mining you will need a dedicated mining hardware or a high quality gpu/cpu in order for it to work properly and efficiently and i think it also works on laptop unless your laptop has a great specs. overall these two are not the best choice if your looking for an easy way to earn bitcoins , i suggest that you do some other bitcoin jobs like joining on a bounty or social media campaign because it is a hell lot easier if your a beginner on bitcoin ecosystem.

But if you have a lot of money then you can dig a money for having that and although the maintenance cost is huge but I'm sure you can adjust with it so that your expenses and profits will meet prolonging to do the mining business for yourself. But if you don't have a budget to sustain this hardware's then trading is the best option for us since it can gives us a good profits but totally different on the profits we can get from hardware mining.

They are totally different. Trading is buying and selling basically to make a profit you need to buy low and sell high that is not just applicable to bitcoin, it can be through alt coins as well. While mining is using the computer to generate hash power which will process the data and in return you get rewarded with bitcoin.

Nope, you don't need to have a good GPU for trading. In trading, Specifications of the laptop or desktop is irrelevant. You could use a Core2duo w/ a low Video card to access a trading platform it would be slow but still accessible. And Yes you are right that they are different. Buying PC is I think not advisable if you are engaging in trading. Since you need to monitor your money from time to time and you can't carry your PC every time you go out.

Which is the easiest?

Trading, Why? In trading, you only need a minimal amount of capital to start. But a high percentage of return of only you have enough knowledge and information in you. Unlike in mining you need to invest for good mining rig which can cost you thousands of dollars to have at least a good one and In mining, the return that you could get would only be consumed by your electricity bill.

There is no doubt in this fact that mining and trading are poles apart and there is not even a single similarity in them except for that both are the ways of grabbing bitcoins or profits. Bitcoins are not easy to earn via mining than trading. Mining requires a lot of investments before you grab bitcoins.

Yep! They are totally different from each other, they are just like roses and violets both are beautiful and both are flowers but roses have an edge over violets, same is the case of mining and trading. Trading is much easier than mining of bitcoins and chances of profits are higher in trading than mining.

trading can make your account balance fall down to 0 but mining at least you have some graphic card to play game

If you say it is equally beneficial then of course it is obviously equally beneficial but if in this clear category of activity it is not the same. Trading is a trading activity where we should be able to continue to see the development of market share in altcoin yes of course this needs to have the expertise that we do not get losses in trading. while mining activities I think this is not too difficult as we do trading only we need to buy some tools necessary to be able to do mining. so in my opinion if seen from the activities undertaken between trading and mining is clearly very different.

Mining and Trading are very different. In trading you have to go the exchange site and fund your wallet to be able to buy currency that you wanted and when you get profit its time for selling. Mining you have to invest in mining rig and need to open the whole day to mined coins that consumes alot of electricity and that is additional expenses.

 Trading and mining are really different to each other. I prefer to you to do trading than mining because trading is more profitable than mining. In mining you need a high capital and it takes along time and little profit

That's right, most of the time your profit into mining goes into your electric bill because the electricity is too high, but it will be fine if you earnings more than the amount of your billing in the electricity. While in trading you can a lot of chance to get profit depending in the coin you buy of course.

They are not same, totally different. Trying is just buying when is bullish or rising then selling when the price is dropping. For mining, you need equipment and electricity is important

Nop, they are different,
Trading is like buying btc today and wait for the time has its good value then sell.
Mining you need equipment to dig btc just like powerful computers to obtain what you want.

Mining is a way using our computer  or any gadgets  to earn online
While trading is a way which you can buy and sell a pruduct

What product. i think they are talking about like exchanges if trade means exchange something valuable so i think there is no selling there you are trade or exchange this is much more understanding than you like selling product and getting commission from affiliate sites. .
Trade and mining are really different because you are just mine coins to make money unlike trading that you can make profit once the coin you are holding was increase its value. .

mining and trading are very different. you do not need a supercomputer to trade. trading requires only skill and experience as the most important part. you can trade from smatphone. many traders who also use the old CPU as a daily access to trade. this is proof that the most important in trading is making a decision and once again that you do not need to buy a sophisticated computer in order to be able to trade.

No it is all Different
Mining Is Easy Money Just You Pay in first for rig and electricity And gain your mining coins without any effort With Low Risk
Trading is Hard work ,Market  , News , Loss , Profit And More Risk

It is not exactly the same thing, two factors are important for mining. it can be estimated because it is not stressful and the price is not too stressful. but the trade holds hard to predict things.

I think mining and trading are obviously very different things. If your mining requires a lot of capital to buy equipment such as cpu, gpu, ghs and others. Moreover, we have to pay electricity bills every month to do the mining itself. Another case with trading, you can do it anywhere either on the computer or the most important gadget is always connected on the internet. For easier I think you can do from the simple thing first that is by way of trading.

You don't need a GPU when trading you can actually trade with you phone if you have the resources needed when trading.

hello, how about cloud mining?
is there a cloud mining that is legit?
I have join before but I got scammed.

Mining and trading are certainly not the same. You should really do your own research before you trade as it involves price prediction with real money. Mining helps verify and secure the network by receiving rewards from transactions and blocks.

                         I would advice you to look more references online, although some of the recommendations out there are not trusted, but at least try to look at it then try to compare, ask some guidance from professional and knows a lot about desktops, that was all for mining, but i think that is not recommendable for you, you should rather try trading instead, and same advice try to look references.

i only know genesis mining, hashnest,hashflare, eobot which is the oldest cloud mining that until now is still online but the only legit maybe hashnest because they have their own mining hardware. i am not sure that they will still operate because they live in china and now china wants to banning bitcoin in their country and it could mining company closed their office. i think its better you learn trading because you can make big profit than invest in cloud mining.

trading and mining are clearly different. both have a very significant difference. mining is doing block breaking on any cryptocurrency, while trading is doing business to be able to benefit from the results of buying and selling cryptocurrency that we have.

which is safer, cloud mining or gpu mining?

mining and trading are not the same for the reason that is totally see trading is rade some coin checks some development but you dont need to 24 hrs monitor it unlike mining you need to monitor it and the pc are open.

GPU mining is more safre than cloud mining but cloud mining is more efficiencier than GPU . Cloud mining like you are working in a pool and that's why it's not safer like you work at GPU for yourself.

You don't need a lot of gpu for trading. All you need is trading acumen and some mathematics to get through with it. Mining is technically AUDITING.  Trading is about maximum rewards or profits. You will learn both even without a desktop.  Mine other high yielding currencies and convert it into Bitcoins. This is like hitting two birds with one Bitcoin. Your trading and mining at the same time. And the easiest way to earn is mining. Because the mining software is automating the auditing process. You earn even while you sleep.

trading is much better than mining if you are looking for profits all you need to know is proper understanding about the trade or coin that you will going to support unlike with mining you needed good gpu in order for you get good numbers of rewards instead of using your money better to try first trading and if you already gain then start to build your mining rig.

Today, almost miners also are traders on the cryptocurrency market, they do not stupid to sell their coin with cheap price when those amount can increase more in future. No one want to earn small profit when they can earn a profit better.

Mining and trading are two different things and you have to look and think of mining as a traditional way of mine gold or other valuable solid mineral. All the bitcoin that we have in circulation are been mining by miners and they are also the one confirmed transaction of traders. Trading on the other hand is buying and selling of bitcoin and others cryptocurrency from the hold.

Whoever thought these are the same isn't paying too much attention. Mining is a passive way to accumulate bitcoins. Once you're able to set up ypur mining rig, you just wait for btcs to come in. Trading doesn't give you the luxury of sleeping on your trades since you might miss out on several good entry and exits

A huge difference with the both.
Mostly, those people who can provide some money for capital would choose the mining section. But this might take months before you will feel the profit and you will have to consider the electricity consumption too. It will be enormously high that you wont believe it is true.
If you are in a country which have a low billing with electricity then you are lucky.

Right who will take a loss to sell for a low price if they know it is more worth in future. You know nowadays the miners become good traders they can predict that which coin is good and which is going to dump and pump. So based on that they will mone coins. So both trading and mining are like 2 faces of one coin.

It is really different. Mining and trading are not same. But both of them are risky because you need to start big capital in order to do trading and mining. I prefer to you just try to trade.

Trading is preferable to people who is unable to invest big fund because if you wish to buy ASIC miner it will definitely cost more than 1200$ and then you need to skilled to be get the profit.
Mining and trading are do not have any comparison because investment plays all the time in trading but mining is only initial investment and can gain everytime.

Mining and Trading are two different thing.
To perform mining you have to use GPU rig but it is expensive to set up and it would use a lot of electricity.
While Trading is you only need to go to exchange sites like bittrex, poloniex and other exchange site to perform trading. The two are incomparable but using both do have the chance to earn profits.

Yes,indeed which mining is rather costly knowing that asic miners are expensive and when it comes to trading you can already engage with it with smaller amounts compared on the venture of mining.They arent the same since they are on different field.Mining bitcoin isnt consider as trading but rather an investment and at the same time you can make it as a hobby which is really costly but profitable if you do have cheap electricity prices but if not and you dont have any idea on what you are doing then its better not to risk at all and its better to make some trading its really complicated but you can really deal with the money you have put in.

Both have chance to give you profits but overall, it is cheaper to try trading rather than mining because you can see that mining cost too much money and you need to buy different hardware and assemble them and earn profit without any fixed amount while in trading you don't need to waste time getting hardware and anything like that because you just need to create an account and start earning.

If you choose mining, you can mine some altcoins on PC. Not the BTC. For trading you need a regular PC - laptop would be also fine. But bare this in mind, both have specific set of problems which need to be addressed if you want to be successful. If you don't have any experience in trading, it's better to try to mine with what you have since trading without knowing what you're doing is a sure way to lose your funds. Mining with laptop or regular pc will not earn you much.

The more chances to profit if your referring to both. So it's trading is the easiest way for it doesn't need much requirement and you don't have to wait but it is more risky. Being weak hands won't be a good thing here. If you want to earn on fixed basis/daily without doing much is Mining. But you must have bigger capital for a bigger mine. So if I were you, think about what is your needs and balance it's consequences.

In comparison between both trading and mining, I think trading is the best option where we can make more compared with mining. For mining, we need a lot of expenses to buy the equipment and setups but for trading, we need little expenses to make big profits.

You are comparing a cherry with a tomato!
Mining has nothing to do with trading, mining with GPU in today's world is impossible and you will need some expensive stuff like ASIC miners or others to mine Bitcoins or different altcoins. Trading coins is a completely different subject and needs charting knowledge as well as basic idea about how to read them through the support and resistance levels and decide when to enter and where to exit. Trading is better compared to mining but is the riskiest way. I saw D3 allowing users to get their ROI in just a month after mining DASH coin so if you managed to get a D3 while roaming around, you must be in profit already atm.

I agree. Since before, someone had referred me to try mining instead rather than trading. Someone also told me how much highly it will cost to build some mining rigs, and yes some of the miners are now traders also. They wouldn't sell for lower price, and I have witnessed one also. To think how much cost just to mine specific coin, along with those maintenance and patience you need in order to get a coin you've mined.

No no no, you are seeing trading very wrong it is very different with mining. About mining yes as you said if you are going with GPU mining you would need equipments to set up your own rig so you would have to invest a big money for expensive high ends GPU, so as it comes with a big electricity consumption. In mining you will really need a cheap electricity for your rig to get profits. You can use calculators made for mining if you would​ want to compute your electricity consumption before setting up a rig.
 So next is trading, in trading you will not be needing expensive equipments. Just a capital and the most important thing which is Skill. Skill comes with experience, knowledge about Altcoins, familiarity with it, patience, and more.

So if you would want to choose from those two. You might wanna check your ability and capabilities.

Mining --> Big Capital & Cheap electricity --> difficulty? Easy
Trading --> skills, experience, knowledge, patience, capital -- difficulty? Insane

Here both of them are totally different from each other , if the electricity cost in your city is low then you should make mining but if high then you should make trading Because trading is better way of making earnings , and here we need to do work in better way because trading has both type of results ( including profit and also loss ) but still we can change every loss in this field , we need only a perfect tricks to do work .
But still you can try to mine some altcoins which are having low value in the cryptocurrency field , Because if you will mine ( pc mining ) those low valued coin than there will remain chances to increase the price and that wil results into much profit.
So change your work according to circumstances , and Accordingly try to make analysis that what will happen in the future.

Nice one buddy. Mining is different and trading is entirely different. If you want to sell or buy a bunch of bitcoin means,you can use the trading. But in mining, the bitcoin or any other altcoin will be generated with that mining. Bitcoin mining is the best of any other altcoin mining. You can choose that.

No way there are some big differences between mining and trading.Mining needs Greater hardwork and good equipments like ASIC or some powerful GPU which you cannot expect at cheap prices.whereas trading needs only a laptop with internet connection and you just need to take care of trades nothing else. Mining is little bit complex and tough comparing to trading. You need strong backup of heavy electricity which will again cost you some dollars and the environment must be good for Mining business .whereas trading can be done in your regular office or even in your home.

For me Trading is best way to earn than Mining, but you cant say it as easy because even trading requires some effort and time from your side.

My words won't be much different than you people but I would also like to share my knowledge for the sake of OP.
Mining is the process of verifying transaction while it is also used for releasing new digital coins. For this, miners need powerful hardware’s and they earn by transactions fees.
Trading is about buying and selling any asset. Traders are not paid any kind of dues and they don't offer any services.

Really? Do you even have an idea of the kind of trading the OP was referring to? Moreover, it seems you have no idea of what you are even saying with the 2 things you are talking about on this forum. If we can all mine with just our systems, do you think we won't all be happily smiling today? Also, trading cryptocurrencies is what OP referred to which you obviously need your system or a good smartphone to achieve that, and it is not the regular buying of tomatoes and pepper.

That's really very complex situation that you are in! They are completely stuff and do not mix them in the first place. Trading is process of exchanging the goods/assets/things/commodities/valuables at desired prices and then later on reselling or buying back at higher rates to earn the profits on it. Now that's the trade we can call it.


When we speak about the mining, then there comes hardwares, electricity, block logic solving, hash rates, internet and much more! The heat and noise don't forget it when you say mining, because that's a lot of it there. :-) The mining operation actually consist of solving the blocks with the help of hardware capable of doing that. This is done from the pool who send you request for the same and once you solve any transaction you get rewarded for it. Obviously that's the really thought explain in one para here but that's what it is.

To get BTC mining is a good move, but it requires huge capital to buy VGA and other equipment. after you have BTC then you will automatically become a trader.
this is different but interrelated.

By safer? I meant you are referring to which one will give you the best return without you wasting your money right ?
Both of them (depending)… With cloud mining, most of them are scammers and as far as I am concerned I have not been able to find any legit one that can get you what you invested back (not like it is even that easy realistically)... GPU mining on the other hand is no longer for bitcoin mining unless you want to be generating dust.

For some altcoins though, you can still give it a try and then convert to bitcoins. So, maybe you'd want to try that instead.

Better you trade first, while knowing which coin is good for the mining, with your trading income can be faster spin and for the short term.

Ya Both Mining and trading is different. The amount of dollars, you get from both is purely based on the knowledge you have in both.If you wise knowledge in mining so you can involve in the Mining. You will get the very huge profit from it.If you want to get more bitcoin means, better go for the trading. But in trading. You should not get panic by seeing the price.

Mining and trading are poles apart and I think there is no similarity between both except for one that both are ways of earning bitcoins. Trading is done on exchanges when you make deals of buying or selling bitcoins or other coins as well whereas in case of mining, you need to have good electricity connection along with good hardware for carrying out mining process.

Mining and trading are very different.
Mining is earn Bitcoin by using tools Like GPU miner or antminer.
Trading is earn Bitcoin from buying and selling Altcoin to Bitcoin or Bitcoin to altcoin and you can use your laptop or PC.

You are not far from the truth brother! Mining is more of a way to keep having steady income over time with your rigs which can take a whole lot to setup, however once set up, the rest is easy. With treading on the other hand, your capital is all you need to keep running your trade and keep multiplying it and still being able to have back what you started investing with in the first place.

It comes with its own stress too as you need a whole lot of learning, dedication, and drive to trade well so you don't end up loosing what you have built. With what we have today, mining is a no go area for someone who doesn't really have much.

But the cost you have to afford for mining is hard and more than trading. After your investment you does not need to put your more efforts in mining always and that will automatically manage the mining process.
In trading you have to monitor the price value 24/7 and you need to set the trade value according to the price dump and bump.

Mining and Trading are very different though i am not used to it to mining but in Trading all you need to do is to go to exchange sites and fund your account to be able to buy and sell coins. What i know about mining is you have to buy GPU to start working and it is costly it can consume as well lots of electricity.

Straight and direct to the point on comparing both things which is actually right. Mining is really different on trading since theres no apparatus involve or any operations have been done when you are trading on which being said mining does really need asic for you to mine bitcoin and gpu for mining altcoins which at the same time they do earn too on processing transactions.Trading is just like simply trading up a certain coin for a profits,exchanging them into other coins which you would able to buy and sell and possibly earn income on it which is basically doesnt involve any operations or on the need of something in able to do it.

He's very newbie I guess. Mining and trading are certainly different things. For mining, one needs only electricity, software and suitable hardware to start. For tradin, it requires knowledge about altcoins.

Most of them are pure scammers and even if you find one that isn't scam, it is best you just leave your funds in your wallet cause you won't even really get your R.O.I. (correct me if I am wrong though)… I guess since you have had an experience yourself from being scammed, there is no point saying too much. Find other best ways you can earn online. Mining is not for everyone.

You are right. The Antminer D3 from Bitmain is like the most sorted after ASIC miner for Dash right now due to its efficiency and I cannot even wait to lay my hands on one once the next batch comes out. I recently told someone that over time, mining devices will keep coming out even at very good prices to make the mining industry more of a better place to want to delve into. With Dash mining, and the present difficulty level and as long as Dash doesn't get dashed in value, having my ROI in a very short period, how better can it be?

There is no way that anyone can compare Mining and trading. Mighty make it you that initial bit of money in the beginning that you could use for training but my name is never made money for anyone in the past year and trading has trading has the ability to make a lot of money very quickly and Mining has the ability to lose a lot of money for you over a long period of time.

Let me explain because it seems that you don't have an idea of trading and mining.
Mining is process of adding transactions on the public ledger of bitcoin (blockchain) after verifying it. This needs a proper setup of specific hardware and software, you can search it on by yourself too.
Trading is just is simple trading of currencies, buy cheap bitcoins or altcoins and sell them when the price is grown up. It doesn't need any special equipment (i.e hardware), your laptop or computer is enough for this.

Mining and trading has its own characteristics as well profitability. Importantly both needs capital investment and depending on the investment made will be the earning. Mining becomes effective depending upon the system in which the mining gets incorporated, whereas with trading the market prediction about different asset with time variations help profit big.

Mining coins and trading coins is a different thing entirely. In mining you will need to make use of hardware like GPU with constant electricity. While trading is all about buying different altcoins or bitcoin at a lower price and sell at a high price, which require experience and constant practice.

The fact is that the works can be learned and practice will come with time, and it's a little more difficult to earn a crypto currency in the financial plan, because the investment requires huge funds.

uh what do you mean? of course you can compare them but they are not very alike, they are entirely different thing in fact. But you can lose or gain money on both of them so i

don't agree on what you've said that trading is greater than mining as both of them stands out based on someones situation. for example if your country has a low electricity rate

then you'll likely be earning decent profits.

They are very different. Mining I would say is the easier way to earn but you need to have the right hardware. Trading 'actively' is more profitably probably but has more risk attached to it, however simply investing is probably the easiest and will likely net you a modest return over a period.

Mining and trading are very different. In mining, you are using your computing power to "create" bitcoins. In trading, you are simply exchanging one cryptocurrency for another (think Forex/The Stock Market). The results of each will depend on your mining equipment and your level of skill at trading. The goal of mining is to create "guaranteed" long-term profits, while the goal of trading is to create "risky" short, mid, or long-term profits.

Good luck!  :P

Mining and trading are not only not the same, but they are entirely different altogether. Mining involves buying expensive hardware to run algorithms to product Bitcoin, and trading involves signing up to an exchange and essentially day trading cryptos to try to make a profit.

Trading and Mining are different. Trading is worth the Altcoins. And Mining is also using your computers to mine the BTC and other Altcoins. In trading as you buy it so that when its price increases you can sell it. And in the mining you use your computers to minimize this need to open 24/7 so you should have the high end computer you need

I don’t think so that trading and mining are same thing in anyway. Both of them are entirely different from one other. Mining is just like holding of Bitcoins or any other coin in the world of digital currency. Whereas, trading is just like buying and selling of different coins. There is no similarity in between the two.

both are different thing but both are profitable in their own expects. mining is little bit need efford to start and you need to put a proper setup for it to start but in the end it is very much profitable if the electricity bill of your country suits you. trading is mind game and you need to analyse the chart of crypto and choose good crypto to invest and make profit through it.

Ofcourse mining and trading is not the same. Mining is like investing, it takes very long time to earn big profit in mining, in trading, it is a reciprocal process, you exchange your asset to someone's asset. I think it is easier to earn in mining because you will only need to wait for the profit unlike in trading, you gonna need some skills like, timing and you need not to let your emotion dictate you what to do, but the good thing in tradig is that you can have bigger profit in shorter time of period.

Trading is a good way of earning bitcoin though it require skills and knowledge of how trading in crypto currency works. Mining is also profitable but it require huge capital to buy the equipment and the cost of electricity is another major challenges.

Summing up, yeah mining and trading are two different things that work too much opposite. Mining is actually producing bitcoins and keeping the transaction records while trading is buying and selling of coins. In addition, yes if you are not from technical area and you want money, trading is much better for you than mining.

Different and similar risk.

If price dropping then the risk of loosing is ahead.
But different as operation cost in different side.
I m mining some, just cool

If you have the right equipment, you can earn with mining, it is only necessary equipments. But trading, you have to have as much information as a stockbroker.

Yeah your right! And also in trading your profit is depends on the price of the altcoin that you want to convert. It is also need more patience, controlling emotoins and ofcourse investments/capital. While in mining it needs more strategy and equipments to produce more profit, and also on these there some mining that do need an investments and i think mining is safier than trading and also it less work than trading.

Anyone can have the equipment in hands, if the user has the required amount for buying the equipments. With mining can get sustained earning, but with trading the market moves need to be observed very closely and based on the capital as well based on the closer prediction the user gets profited.

Actually if I have enough money to buy a mining rig then I would rather risk in it on trading or altcoins since I can earn somehow faster there with enough knowledge. For example, I would invest in different altcoins with popular demand such as those newly ended ICO that end up to be a success especially those that hit there max cap. Buying after hitting exchange and distribution of bounty pool will surely make a dump on first and end up going on a hard pump.

Mining ≠ Trading both are entirely different thing. Both do generate profit but don't assume they are the same. Why? Mining (Crytocurrency) is like any other mining wherein you need equipments, gears and location but in terms of cryptocurrency what you will need is a system (ubuntu or windows), gpu, and what coin will you mine (eth,zcash,et al). On the other hand, trading is a term used for exchanging different tokens, altcoin and bitcoin in general which can generate huge profit it done right. Keep in mind that both has risk and generate profit but don't ever assume that they are the same because they are totally not.

If you do have the money to spent on mining rigs then we are capable on doing mining operations which is entirely different on trading itself on which we would manually trade up coins basing on markets movements and talking on the risk i would say it is more riskier than on mining itself but when it comes to mining ROI would really be much longer considering on the mining difficulty do rise over time.

mining are for those people who possess technical skills when it comes to computer so if you do not know that much regarding mining better stay out of it or else you will make your equipments get toast, even though there are lot of tutorials there and you are eager to start one better to have some expert regarding mining so he/she can assist you. as of trading it is the best possible way to earn bitcoin, all you need is to buy at a low price and wait it to boom and then sell just a pump and dump situation.

Mining and trading are risky to do but mining is much more riskier because mining can cause you a fortune and it's not actually profitable like even miners can advise you not to do so.
While trading is less riskier because all you just need here is skills and knowledge and at least a little profit then you're good to go.

Mining for who can actually can do that are limited unlike in trading anyone can anyone are approve to trade mining needs some equipment and also time and effort also the usage of the electricity are not easy as we know it is differently in trading.  

Mining and Trading is totally not the same, if you do mining you will need high power computer for you to mine if you do trading you will only need basic computer and the skills to trade.

Trading and Mining are very different because in trading you have to go to an exchange sites to be able to buy and sell crypto currency while mining needs a computer hardware to be able to mine and it consumes lots of electricity that would be a bit expensive for daily mining.

-Mining: There are various ways to get into Mining without the requirement to purchase the hardware and this can be done through companies that offer you the facility without the maintenance and running costs and is built into a contractual cost with a notional return on the sums invested.
-Trading :Trading requires skills and practice to know the entry and exit points and one cannot simply think that Bitcoin or whichever coin you select is going to rise in a straight upward climb, there will be twists in the road.
So after i tell you what is mining and trading you can completely know they are different.

It depends on the level you want to go. And moreover, trading can be extremely hectic more than mining and all you have to do is trade your capital and earn something on it. For mining, all you have to do is purchase mining gadgets to mine coins, either bitcoin or alts and rely on the roi.

Mining ties down your capital, you should know that. However, with your last statement, I doubt if you even have an idea what you are saying. What does card and game have to do with mining? Someone please help in case I am the one seeing wrongly here. ;D

There is a lot of difference in between both of them. Trading is just like give and take of one coin and another. Trading requires you too very much wise and well educated. On the other hand, mining requires you to have high quality computer like you said. There is no real resemblance in both of them. But both of them are very much profitable.

It depends to your location if your country have cheap electricity bill you can mine and for sure you will earn profit. But if your country have expensive electricity like my country mining is not porfitable. You can trade altcoin while you mining. In trading you can buy altcoin and wait the price to increase after that you can sell it. In mining you mine a coin and you need computer and miner .

These 2 terms are too far to be compared. Mining is where you let your expensive rig do the work while trading is where you are the one who needs to do the work.

So we can say they are totally two different things. With the scheme of work and with strategies, these both doesn’t come along one another. Like you said, trading involve emotions and control and many other things but mining is just opposite to it. We can call it hardware aspect of crypto world that mainly deals in technical assistance.

No, they are not the same instead they're both differ to one another. In mining, you will invest in the pool its up to you in which altcoin you like to mine then once you did it,  all you need to do is to wait to your ROI and profit after months while in trading you will do Buy and sell system depending on how you are going to do in the platform, but you can minimize your risk in trading unlike in mining its too risky compare into trading.

Just say that both are different things from each other. They are way lot different and do not even resemble i the way they give us profits. Mining is just solve the blocks and get rewarded for the same while in case of trading you buy the mined coins or the coins which are already out there in the circulation. You buy those coins and then again go for swing trading so that you can buy low and sell high. There is no such relation between mining. It's all about the hardware and smart computer working out the math. While in the trading you scratching head and making the investment.

Mining requires setting up physical hardwares and it also requires availability of cheap, regular electricity which invariably makes it to be capital intensive, in the other hand trading requires compulsory training on buying and selling of cryptocurrencies and it usually requires huge capital so as make significant profit, be as it may trading and mining are not the same.

The equation is that mining products are also traded, only the process makes them different. Some miners keep the coins from mining and then use them as capital for trading in various exchangers.

Based on my knowledge, Mining have three options.
First, mining by using mining hardware like Antminer and other.
Second, mining by using your PC or laptop with high performance.
And last is Cloud mining, you must spend money to buy  few GHs power in cloud mining website like Cex.io, genesis mining, hashflare, and etc to earn some btc. Choose your favourite options

Your logic is absurd. It is true that Bitcoin mining needs a lot of initial investment. You need to set up mining rigs, electricity connection, cooling systems and such. And even after all this, there is no guarantee that your venture will be profitable. But trading is also a very risky thing to do. You need a large initial investment for trading as well.

trading can easily be done aa long as we have coins and idea to do trading unlike in mining to be able to earn we need to invest first on expensive computers to do so,but both surely worth doing.

Trading may be preferable
it does not take high computing power and electricity but
it require high risk,
there is no guarantee that you ll get more coin :)

I though base on my reading in article here.. you can mine if you have strong gpu and low cost of electricity. if you use a laptop its better to take a trade beacause part of computer to use mining is expensive..unless you are in trading you can investment with effort strategy and 250$ to have a profit...

Its different than you think, You do not need a GPU or a PC as your laptop is enough for trading but if want to mine you need many things to learn first it is not to easy to build. There is no easy way to earn you need to seek knowledge.

Very great effort! You have nicely differentiated between trading and mining. Your definitions really increased my knowledge about mining because I did not know that some companies offer you mining jobs. Mining is a great way of making money but mostly people refrain from getting into mining just because it demands expensive hardware. Trading as you mentioned is totally based on skills.

You are right that mining of bitcoin requires huge capital, heavy computer systems and more electricity and if you go to mine a bitcoin so at the end it might be very much costly as compare to your expenses with bitcoin price. While in trading you buy or earn a readymade bitcoin for your business so both are of very much different nature at all. Both are beneficial ways but trading is a shortcut.

Not the same.
Trading may be better:
Low power;
Fast to get coin :)

Diadvantage:
No guarantee to get coin :(

Mining is a process which indirectly means electricity consumption in abundance but I consider it as a good way of making bitcoin. We need to invest our capital for the first time and then it will become a source of income but if electricity is expensive in someone's area, he must not choose this method. Trading also needs to invest with time if a person makes wrong decisions.

mining and trading are not the same. because if you going to mining you need a computer or device like for example "ANTminer"  to making a bitcoin per second and per minute.
For trading you are buying a crypto currency in a low price then you sell it in a high price.

no not at all we can compare it to passive income and active income, when we do mining at first you need to setup the rig for it to mine for you depending only on electricity, in trading you need time, knowledge and experience for you to eliminate the emotions which hinders your decision making and minimize the risk using some indicators all of this cannot be learn fast and it needs experience so we can classify it as active income

Right. Exactly with your definition, they're nothing like each other though they both deal with btc and crypto. Mining is a passive way to earn btc though it takes time and a good capital to set up a decent rig. Trading requires less but if done with experience, would make more profits in lesser amount of time

Mining is truly very costly. It is not cost effective at all. You need to buy a lot of expensive equipment just to be a miner. A lot of investment is required at first for carrying on mining. This is the reason there is very less number of miners.

Mining is obviously different and difficult as compared to trading. Trading just needs skills and practice for making money. Investment in trading is not big.

Trading easier than mine.


Trade can use Smartphones and capital were not as big as mine. Advantages it brings also more than mine. However, the trade must have a strategy that is ripe for without the same strategy you choose to lose some of your money. Mine doesn't have any risks. But must know about algorithms and has a lot of capital.

Mining and trading are obviously different things in thread already read many things mentioned but as per my view

Mining and trading both are ways to get BTC where in mining Bitcoins are produced and in trading Bitcoins can be earned. Both need capital for investment, but I think for ROI which gives me returns on my investment weather it is on mining or trading.

So as in question asked Is Mining and Trading same then final answer is yes both are ways to get Bitcoins.

But both are very different ways which needs more knowledge and capital to test them.

In my own perception mining is different for trading but they  are both branches of  bitcoins .they have a separate ways of  producing and earning btc.mining  is need of laptop and strong internet connection to produce  bitcoin.while trading is earning in the process of buying and exchange kind of altcoins.

In terms of profit they are very different from each other because mining has an obvious lower rate of income and it is not like in trading that you can reach to an income that you didn't expect while mining is just ranging from small gaps of the income so it is not exciting for me to do mining, instead i do trading.

i think it is really silly to say things like that they are same things. i thing there is a huge difference between both of them. .Mining needs Greater hardwork and good equipments like ASIC or some powerful GPU which you cannot expect at cheap prices.whereas trading needs only a laptop with internet connection and you just need to take care of trades nothing else. Mining is little bit complex and tough comparing to trading. You need strong backup of heavy electricity which will again cost you some dollars and the environment must be good for Mining business but i think in comparison of profit i think mining is much more profitable than trading but it need more effort to do.

We can't mine bitcoin with a laptop and also GPU. To mine bitcoins, we have to buy antminer and other dedicated bitcoins mining machines. Mining and Trading both are different but both are having interrelationship. If you just mine coins and don't have knowledge in trading, then it is a waste.

Yes they are the branches of the bitcoin and the future of the bitcoin is better than the bitcoin income, I hold the amount of the money for the better future I hold the wealth of the bitcoin, because I like to have the bitcoin and I want to make the money from it, I am using the bitcoin as the investing, I like trading but not so much because it is risky as compare to the other bitcoin branches and the features of the bitcoin.

In the past, we can did that, Bitcoin was mined through cpu but it was the time since Bitcoin still young, ~ 2009 - 2010. GPU also can mining Bitcoin but today, we can not do that because the difficult mining of Bitcoin had increased a huge numbers and you can not use device normal to mining it.

No I think mining and trading are two different things in all aspects. Mining means producing bitcoins and trading everyone knows about trading. Mining needs a lot of experience and it is also very expensive due to huge consumption of electricity while trading is much easier job and the reward is high than mining. For me trading is far better than mining. I want more money in less time.

If the miner also holding their crypto mined to wait the price of crypto increases more, I think they are also trading like other traders because it has nature like trading. And actually, most of the miners all want to sell their crypto with high price, no one wants to sell at low price and get loss ;D

Well they are different each other you do not need GPU for trading while you don't need exchanges for mining.

Exactly, they are entirely a different thing, think of it like coal for example, you can mine it using a pickaxe or you can trade it on derivatives markets. Mining you are gaining coins for investing your time and effort whereas trading you are buying and selling those already mined coins.

They're not even related with each other. If you're a miner, you have two options. You will sell what you mined directly on the market, or you will keep them for next times. If you're directly selling them, you're somehow a trader and we can create a connection between mining and trading.

A wise miner will always find ways to sell its coin at high price, no one wants to sell its coin at low price with small profits and pay the electric fee every month. So, mining and trading people have same purpose are make money and earn high profits. But there are a little of people also sell their coin after mined every day or every cycle.
