As a trader, it is normal for us to encounter difficulties while engaging a lot of trading platforms and I know that it is not easy for us to overcome it.

There's the time where we almost lose all our money in trading and we only have a certain small amount of money. Some people are still risking it and some are saving it for future errands.

I remember when I chose to trade, I experienced a lot of struggle as I lose a certain transaction and regret it afterwards,
but I never stopped and instead I continue those transaction because I got a lot of profits sometimes.

But then I realized that it I want a long term source of profit then I switched and engaged with crypto investment. I found it really beneficial for me as I want to become more futuristic,
although the progress is not that fast but I think that it is much safer for me to invest here.

Do you think this is a good decision? I know that most of us are struggling in trading, could you give us more idea? And what are your thoughts about this?

Trading and investing - both are two different methods of making money and both are meant for different types of people. Traders are risk-takers while investors are most likely stays away from risk. So your decision depends on you and your outlook towards risk. There's no right and wrong decision involved. It's all about choosing a method which suits you better.

BTW, I have never seen a legit investment platform for cryptos. are you HODLING or investing your cryptos to a certain platform to get interest return? Can you name a few?

Traders are often thinking get quick rich mentality and we should avoid it, if you want to be a trader who will consistent earning in the market even if the trend is bearish then you should think long term goal. As a trader it is important that we should be aware that winning and losing is part of the game, we should be used to it because there are a lot of knowledge and information that we may get.

Disappointment is part of the trading, whenever you lose; it is better if you will remind yourself that losing is normal and it is part of the process. In that way you can be motivated. Experience is more important than money so forget earning in trading and focus on gaining knowledge first in order for you to be consistently earning in the market.

In fact, the answer to this question varies according to the person's own personality, not the amount of capital. For example, the capital that you consider as small capital may be large capital for someone else, or on the contrary, the capital that you consider as large capital may be small capital for someone else. For this reason, how this capital can be evaluated may vary according to the person's own structure. A risk-loving and constant money flower can evaluate this capital by trading, and a person with a low risk threshold and a pursuit of guaranteed earnings can evaluate it as a long-term investment. For this reason, you should decide based on your own personality and expectations, not on the amount of capital.

Many think that trading is easy and they often estimate too high their capabilities for it. Also, investing is not only a matter of choice , you need to know a lot of relevant information and dig real deep into some subject to make right decision.
So, I don't think that the right question is what is better option, trading or investment, but the right question is what is the right for each individual according to his capabilities, knowledge and risk management.

It doesn't matter if you will start trading and investment because still, the market is volatile no one is safe on this kind of movement of the market.

Also, it is better what kind of earning process would you prefer. If you are good at trading go with this if you want just to make investment go for it.  You don't need to listen to others because you just make an investment or trade once we enter into the world of crypto it is full of risk it depends on you how you handle the situation and avoid losing your funds.

By having a small amount of coin it depends on you how you will earn more profit regarding that in the investment you need to have to wait for your money to get more earning if you want to make more money and doubt this you can make it for trading and increase the leverage. Previously I made trading small amount in binance and within a day it doubles my money which is good but I made a 125x and 100x leverage still risky right? But still, if you want to make more income you will increase the leverage it's up to you how you handle the situation and one of the best thing you must need to do is avoid the liquidity because once it's hit the market limit you will now lose all of your funds.

There is a difference between trading and investing.

When you trade, you either win or lose on a short-term basis.
When you invest, you either win or lose on a long-term basis.

No matter which one will you choose, always be sure that you can only spend what you afford losing. Like what I told my mom a few years ago when she invest in a specific token, she understands and would have this kind of mentality that she can afford losing that amount.

Of course, do not trade if you aren’t educated about it. You may only knew about the “buy low, sell high” thingy, but it’s not enough for you to be a skilled trader. There are complete online courses that you can check out in the internet such as NewsCrypto, Udemy, Trading Heroes and Trading Cobb. Youtube is also helpful, but not in a complete way.

I suggest you should spend some time educating yourself first completely before deciding to do day trading. As for the investments, make sure that you are doing a lot of homework by checking the project’s history, strategic partners, roadmap, team members, use case, etc.

If you don't have any coin right now, then perhaps, you can buy bitcoin and hold it for a while. But if you already have the coins, and if your coin is one of the top coin lists, then I suggest you trade because that can help you to gain more profit as right now, we see that the market can move well. So you will have a chance to increase your asset while you can also hold some amount for the next bull run that can happen anytime. But if you are aware or afraid with the pump and dump that can occur at the market, then you can invest and hold for a while, so you don't have to risk your asset in trading. But that will be up to you, every decision that you make will have a risk, and you need to realize that.

Get to know yourself, adjust to your abilities. If you feel unable to trade then don't trade. If you feel more enjoy investing then do it. When everything starts with self-confidence that joints will also have a positive impact.

Its totally depends on your trading skill either you will invest or trade. I am assuming you are meaning hold by invest. Its could called long trade as well since you will hold some coins. I don't know about your capital, if your fund is quite low then your decision about investment likely correct. Trading with small amount is quite risky. Because if lose on a trade then it very difficult to recover. I am away from trading from six months almost if my memory serve me correctly. Its because I lost my funds from trading and currently I am holding some shitcoin. Although sometimes I had gained good amounts but eventually I am loser on the trading. That's why I have chosen to invest or hold with some coins. But remembers invest in crypto always risky since its always been volatile. So invest whatever you could afford loss. Dint take loan or borrow money to invest in crypto, otherwise you might get huge losses.

You have a point, But we can't really know if we don't try right? It's true that trading is not that easy especially if you are not used to charts and have no experience in every way how to do it or let's call it a pure newbie. As an experienced trader, I go through a lot of ready and fail trades before I get my momentum of winning a trade, I lost countless capital and it makes me want to stop but I continued. If you are really serious about trading and want to gather experience try trading on a non-capital trading platform that is a training place for trade and research more about trading it will help you a lot I promise.

Crypto has helped many people around the world who have decided to be a long term holders rather than being an active trader. Luckily you entered into this crypto space as an investor which must be the core reason it remained beneficial to you given than assuming most of the traders are failing to make use of fluctuations of all cryptocurrencies. Pro traders are loving fluctuations still it should be predictable through technical analysis. But, market fluctuations are not behaving similar hence even technical analysis also may fail time to time.

You can keep investing into bitcoins with up to 90% of your available capital and with remaining 10% you can into reputed altcoins. Trading is not recommended to anyone who are not capable of spending all their time in making themselves ready for generating signals about the turning points of crypto markets. I mean investing must be an easier way to make money in crypto space and trading is good if you are ready to risk.

Investing for future is a perfect idea in crypto world, it is a new system even if its ten years old these days, all other stuff have been around for hundreds of years, so crypto is considerably new compared to other stuff and in 20-30-40 years it will always be something a lot more profitable, definitely amazing.

But at the same time, we are talking about not having the patience to wait for 40 years when the coin we bought is basically non-existing right now, some things you invest in like bitcoin and ethereum could survive for tens of years, whereas some small ones can go so little that you would basically want to get out, look at Nano for these examples, it used to be over 30 dollars, now its under 1 dollars. So do the long term thing, but pick carefully.

^ Definitely in investment the return is slow not to be at the same rate as with trading for these two are different on how you will deal on it. Trading is more active than you need to pay much of your time in transacting with someone to earn a profit while with investing may need less action for your asset's value may earn depending on the outcome of exchanges though it may be a little or slow however the latter has a lesser rate of losing and your asset will be retained as your property no matter what happened on the market. Moreover, any of these two has the risk of losing it may still depend on the outcome of your transaction or the value of crypto at the end of the day. Nevertheless, just asking if this is a good decision? My answer will be yes but try to check which of these two suits your interest for it is everyone's foundation before going into any battle.

Both investment and trading has certain level of risks. But trading obviously has more potential profits which is accompanied by high risks as well. The main avenue for investing in crypto assets used to be via ICOs, STOs or more recently, IEOs. Other investment options staking/holding for a fixed percentage works too.

In all, whichever path to choose boils down to individual preference. So @OP, If you feel investing is the way for you, you should go for it.

Sometimes you need to become futuristic in order to have a point of view and have some ideas on what will you do on the next upcoming years. If you have plans, it will become more easier to you on what directions are you going to pursue with your money. Investment is quite good but trading will make you more flexible in any situation just like when the price in the market is high or low.

We need to consider a lot of things especially in choosing between trading or investments. Like many people said here, they are both different from each other and in terms of risks, trading is much risky compared to investments. But it really take courage for you to gain reasonable and huge amount of profits in trading.

You only need to have patience and self-discipline in order to attain what you're rooting for about your career. Hard work pays off you just need to grind and manipulate your assets properly as far as you can but limit yourself if it is necessary. It's really much good to invest in a long term source of profit not only in a short term because it can really make you lose your money.

If I had the chance, I'd opt to choose both. Of course, this gives the chance of me losing everything, hence I always hold the notion that whatever money I've invested or traded are not mine, at least, temporarily. I start thinking that they are already lost assets and aren't part of my bank account anymore, which makes it a lot easier in terms of controlling my finances. Both have their pros and cons and it honestly depends on how you yourself think. It'd be a lot better of course if your way of thinking aligns with either of the two since that makes your mind a lot easier to handle, making losses stay at the minimal amount.

In your case, Investment seems a lot better. Especially since your need is a long term investment, crypto would do you well. Especially since you've pretty much understood how trading works and want to avoid it, making your decision to be avoiding risk. If you started investing in crypto, there is still a risk, yes, but in the long term, you should be able to profit quite well imo.

In my opinion, having the small asset grow first is a priority because trading is very expensive and you will need a lot of funds for that to pull off, I am no expert but if I were to choose whether invest or trade, I would rather do investment because I find trading more safer for growing your assets, if you really want to trade then you can use investment as a bridge to make sure that you can last for a long time enough to profit big time in trading. Trading though is very risky and you will to learn if you want to go to that path, in short, you can learn about trading while you are still growing your investments. I am no financial expert but I personally believe that investing is much safer than trading.

I wouldn't say investors are risk averse. There are safe investments (certificates of deposit, low yield bonds) and then there are risky investments (penny stocks, altcoins, and so on). And there is a whole spectrum in between.

The trader vs. investor distinction is more about time preference. Traders operate on shorter time frames with the hope of greater and compounded gains. They however risk getting chopped out of positions and missing out on larger bull trends. Investors avoid the short term noise but they also take on the risk of bigger drawdowns over longer periods.

In my opinion the best decision to choose crypto investment compared to crypto trading. Because it is safer and more profitable if
our capital is small, we must be patient with using small capital if we want to profit. Trade if you use small capital will run out,
because the risk of trading is very high.

But, I believe all traders can be a successful investors still the vice versa case is not true for most people. This is the reason we do assume like investing and trading are meant for different people. Investing is possible for most people as usually all commodities do gain value over the time but here in crypto space, most altcoins do get delisted from exchanges which again makes investing too hard for anyone.

When we simply choose coins which may not face worst of scenarios then we cab make good profits in long term investing. Bitcoin must be the best for this case. It will never get delisted from anywhere hence making investments will get best ROI over the time.

Investing and trading are different things. It is a bit risky to trade with small funds, because being a small fund, if there is no big change in the market, the amount of profit is less which cannot satisfy the trader. This makes the trader more willing to take risks and the results come out worse. If you have trading skills, it doesn't matter if the amount of the fund is big or small, you can make a profit by trading.

To invest, you need to know how to invest. Here too, you may face huge losses due to wrong decisions. So there are risks in both trading and investing, if you don't know about it.

Whatever you do that would result you to be profitable, then that is the good decision.

Trading or investing, both are good actually if you do things right.
When you are trading and investing at the same time, it's possible and you could also be profitable if you are good in trading.

For me, investing is easy as you can hold it for longer term, every time the market dump, I just think of the word "HODL" and it eases me out.
Anyway, just be smart, believe in bitcoin and hold and try to learn how to be a consistent trader so you can also make profit in short term.

I agree especially when you have only small money to trade and you lack the experience. Anyways if you put your money on the right Cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin then in long term perspective you dont have to worry because you'll definitely profit unlike in day trading where you could loss everything in one single day.

You are right we need to try it first, there are several solutions such as a demo account for trading Meta Trader. In practice it is always different from demo and some are not able. Apart from that some people may not like you, funds and their knowledge may be limited and they always fail.

As long as you have good patience you will be fine if you choose as a trader and investor, you can do those simultaneously. I mean, you can use your money to buy some coins for trading first, but when your prediction was wrong and you got a lot of loss if you sell them then you can be an investor at that time as long as you didn't set a stop-loss feature.

Trading spot only has one way, its concept is simple you will get profit when you buy at the lower price and sell at the high price and you will be fine when its price is decreased and you decide to hold because the amount of the coin will never be reduced it will remain same, it just falls in price. Trading will help you to give another income, you may get a consistent profit at least per week. However, it depends on your intention if you need for long term profit then you can just hold it and store it in a safe place like a cold wallet never try to store it in exchange.

in my opinion if you have a small capital it's better to trade, because you can get up to 2x profit, if you invest with a small capital it will be in vain, because it will take a long time so you can feel the benefits

Risk takers will always profit more if they are right, but lose more if they are wrong, that is why its called risk and not secure. If I only want to invest into bitcoin, wait 10 years and cash out, I am 99.99% going to profit, there is no way I won't, sure along the way there will be times when I am going to see lows but at the same time I will see many highs as well, and eventually I will profit.

Will I profit as much as someone who invests and even trades constantly on small coins? Maybe? Maybe I will profit more, maybe I will profit less, it all depends on that person and how well of a trader they are. That is why risk takers are who they are, they are not saying enough with the profits they could make, they want to risk to make more profits than all of us.

 You can do trading and investing simultaneously, in fact that is what I'm doing right now with my asset in binance and local wallet. Both have weighted risk depends on what type of trading or investing you are doing since we have plenty of those, in trading you can do swing trades, day trade, marginal trading etc. while with investing you can do short or long term investment, also the risks depends on the asset like bitcoin that has too much risk or gold that has less otherwise. But for me, if you are active engager to the market maybe you'll benefit most with trading.

Yeah, you can do both if you have the capability of doing it. Maybe you could consider yourself for it but actually, not everyone could make it. But if you only have small assets, it rather chooses one and that is the most preferable and convenient for you. And for me, I'd rather have to invest only. Trading is very risky and its vulnerability to losing is quite high especially when we are not having a good skill in this particular. But if they have that guts and trust themselves, then that's their choice.

I can't say trade is a good decision or investment is a better decision, it all depends on your needs. if you don't want to be complicated in learning to read chart, analysis and so on you should choose investment because your trading skills are low

I prefer investment, I buy a coin and then sell if it reaches the price I set, I do not like trading because I do not have the patience to read charts, and analyze daily

This is what exactly I am doing for more than a year after losing a big capital in altcoin trading. Now, my investments in bitcoin is recovering my losses and I guess when bitcoin will be testing some $15k levels, I might have achieved 2x growth along with recovering my trading losses. Definitely I might not have done the same with trading given that the level of confident on my own trading skills.

A timely guidelines from this community made a changes in my life. I guess bitcoin investment might have transformed many people's life how I have experienced. I guess it would be definitely impress new people here when early adopters share their success stories. I guess if there would be any such topic then it might be easier for people to share rather than discussing under trading board.

Small assets?

With that particular limitation, I'd rather put my money in an investment. Trading is such a high risk that I don't have any assurance to have a good return knowing that our funds are not big enough to roll the market. I was considering/presume that the market will soon surge high and that investing today is a good idea and less risk. But if I have an enough money to start, I have to take them both.

Yes, it is better to try to trade, but you should have some skills in trading, especially to analyze the market to get the right time to enter the market. But you don't have to try to chase the profit if the market is not moving good because that can lead you to make a wrong decision. It is better to wait for a while and see what will go to happen in the market.

Investing will be a good decision, as long as you have a good coin list, and you don't panic if the price is down. You have so many coins that can be your investment, but you need to have the patience to hold the coin for a long time.

I think as a trader, you do not have to sustain trades on so many trade platforms, just pick 1 or 2 from the top exchanges and stick to it.
Switching, changing and using more than 3 exchanges for trading will limit the profits, and make it even more tedious reading charts and trade emotions.

Do your own research,
pick the best of exchange platforms you understand well,
trade the best token you have knowledge of and use your best strategy.

You will never know until you see the result.

Since you already put yourself into crypto-investment, just make sure you are doing your best to maintain a good profit in the long-run. Learn from mistakes and take notes of all your errors along the way.

We have different views about investment as I tend to choose those investments that are stable as the normal business in the real world. Crypto-investment is highly profitable but I can't consider it as my main investment.

It would really be a trial and error game but never ever consider this as a gambling field because you would surely messed up.We do have our own ways on making profits and to compare with our own methods
doesnt mean that it would work for other people and same goes on the other side.We do actually have the same level of priority in terms of investment which i dont really put that much here on cryptospace
yet we know that this market is always been unpredictable even though crypto is slowly being adopted but talking in long term aspect then traditional physical businesses would always be a better option
but having this as a side income or investment isnt really bad either.

We all experienced that loss in trading. There were times before that I wanted to give up trading but it hit me after realizing that giving up is not an answer if we wanted to achieve something.
 
 Good thing that at the same time I invested some crypto coins as a holder so there is some alternative way to get some profits aside from trading. It is best to go both, trading and being a crypto investor. More options will give us more chance to become successful.

I agree with both of you. If the trader can survive and work hard in trading by learning more about analyzing the market, I am sure that he will be a success to get the right time to trade. It is only a matter of time before he can achieve success and make much profit from trading, and I think he will not realize that his skills are already improving. He only amazes what he can do in trading.

I think both are good decision when you will trade in right way or invest your asset in right place. Otherwise both are bad decision. Before your trading you have to ensure that you have chosen a right coin and before investment also your plan have to accurate to right place. So for your best trade or investment you have to study more and more in this sector then you will reach your goal.

thanks.

I think thats a good decision. There is probably a reason why you choose the long term goal. Time can affect our responsibility and as a trader we must be good on analysis and time management for monitoring the market. For me if you have problem coping up with trading parameters, its wise to expand your knowledge to more terms and do it on actual practice. There are trading demo that can be used online and there you can practice more your in depth analysis on trading.

Choosing a more long term perspective can be more relaxing but there is always room for short trading if you really wanna learn. No problem with starting using small funds cause everyone started with it too.

It seems to me that the main feature of the fact that many traders are engaged in day trading is the ability to receive quick income with which you can pay bills. Of course, this requires not only certain knowledge and determination, but also a lot of free time. And if you prefer long-term trading or long-term investments, then you will have to wait for your profit from several weeks to several months.

small possibility to find again crypto coin like Bitcoin...  :D
I personally prefer trading as a good choice because I understand how to trade and have little experience. trading is the thing you have to do if you don't have another job and my experience, trading is not much different from other jobs, it is difficult at the beginning but if learned patiently it will be easy to master it.

With small amounts any decision can be good, to learn trading and maybe make some profit, or that small amount can be a good for creating a wallet and buying your first coins and start holding. Of course you can't stop there, what ever you choose, to learn trading or holding you will have to add more money eventually, from other jobs or you will try to make some crypto (now there're many ways for earning various coins and tokens).
You have to make your own decision based on your situation and skills, each of us is different in many ways, find what works for you and try investing in that more of your money and time, or both.

Trading and investing are both profitable if we do it in the right way. I understand that we have different capabilities and skills in life so whatever choices we made are greatly dependent on them. If we love risk taking, trading is a good option while if we chose to take less risk, investing is also profitable too. Both are different but in the end, we still see ourselves taking risk.

Both trading and investing are risky so when just starting and if you don't have any experience the best decision is to start with small assets. Thus you will minimise the loss if happens and still you'll have the chance to learn and "get the feeling".
Just always obey the rule not to invest more than you can afford to lose. With time you can eventualy enlarge the sum and get better chances for bigger profit but don't rush with such decisions and first try to figure out what suits you the best.

Common mistakes for those people who do just recently starts to invest is that they do put up to their minds that they do already easily grasp into things which they have just recently experience or involved into.

We should start from small and dont really rush up into things because this will just really result into loss.Its unavoidable though even we are already experienced or veteran but due to knowledge and skills

we would certainly lessen those risk.It would really takes time and people shouldnt really rush up. Trading and other investment are worth if you do know on what you're doing.

It will depend on your qualifications and skills you will invest or trade. Both are exactly if you can choose the right currency at the right time before investing. Otherwise you will lose your assets. I trade myself. In my experience investing in shitcoins is very risky. But I think it's safer to invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

I also think investment can be more beneficial option than trading if we could successful find out the right and suitable altcoin for investment but it may take some time to achieve benefits with it but those people who are capable in trading, they shouldn't lose their focus from trading just for investment options basically It's all depends on in which part we find ourselves prefect.

Regardless of whether you choose to trade or invest, the main thing is that they bring you profit. Both investing and trading are profitable activities. But despite the fact that trading brings more profit, it is also more risky than investing. И здecь oт вac oчeнь мнoгoe зaвиcит, чтo вaм бyдeт yдoбнee дeлaть. And here a lot depends on you, what you will be more comfortable to do.

I don't think about qualifications but most important is that we have knowledge of crypto. It won't be hard for you to decide which one but must have to think deeply considering that your capital is not big enough to cope with both trading and investing. We understand the higher risk in trading and if you are afraid to take the risk, investing will the right choice for you. But don't think that it will give you an easy and quick return, of course, it also depends on the market situation and on how you manage your funds.

This got me confused. What kind of crypto investment are you pertaining to? Is it investing in IEO or ICO? Holding Bitcoin and other top alts? Or investing into a certain project/crypto casinos bank roll and receive profit annually? Actually, there are several forms of investments in crypto space and what I have mentioned above are the most common ones. If you try to be specific with your desired investment, then I guess people will give you  a clear and concise answer to your question.

By having knowledge about what we are doing, we can have advantages which is lessen the risk and increase the chances of making money from the money that we invested. The ideal investment that we should make is something that we should full understand. Before we put money, the best thing that we should do is to have information first about the investment that we will make. Most of the investors or traders are losing money not because of the risks but because of their lack of knowledge and experiences.

We need adequate knowledge of both trade and investment Without knowledge and skills we cannot achieve any endeavor But I feel it's better to trade with a little number of resources. By trading a day we will earn some money and save for the longer term Before investing, you would like capital so you've got to trade then invest The market is going to be well analyzed and it's possible to scale back risk by investing However long-term investment is best in terms of investment. we will make tons of profit if the worth goes up.

In the long term trade is a good decision, it has many advantages:

1.- You can react to the market more efficiently.
2.- You have more rest, you do not have to be stuck to the charts.
3.- In the long term the gains are usually much greater than in the short term.

Because of this, I think that medium and long-term trade has been the best. Also as an additional resource, it is good to make a maximum of 3 Trades, so you have more control in your trade.

most people will choose to trade because that is the fastest way to increase our assets. however, if it is a valuable asset for you, then choose an investment, and invest in a sure thing. if I have that choice, I will choose an investment. I prefer to do it slowly and not in a hurry.

Small assets better to trade than you have to invest and waiting for long term to get much profit depend with situation at the future how going on with your coin investment, will have good price or not. I most recommended with small fund to trade and you can increase your profit in daily day.

By investing or trading or even all together is good choice to make profits but it depends on the one who is going to invent their capital and how much risk they wanted to take.IMHO trading will all of your capital will put you in more risk so even if you have small capital then try to split them for long term investing and short term trading.

That sounds like more realistic suggestion still I will suggest to go for trading only with the least possible capital and all rest should go for investing in long-term objectives. Splitting the capital is the thing most people never think about; but if we try to follow the basic principles of investments then diversification must be the very big rule every investor must need to follow. Unfortunately most people are learning this by experience.

But the right approach must be, you should have stopped your trading for sometimes and you must have gone for learning from the mistakes which led you to losses. If you are trying to focus on not repeating same kind of mistakes then I'm sure all your trades will be profitable and you might be having very less number of losses. There will be no meaning of continuing when 1 or 2 trades alone getting us profits; profitable trades must be in greater number compared to occurrences of losses.

The realistic thing is, if you do nothing, you gain nothing, if you do something there is a "chance" of you making a profit. Here we are not discussing the theoretic of trading and what it means to human economy, we are talking about already deciding to trade and how it will affect. The thing is trading is never a sure thing, you could make a lot of profit, or you could lose most of your money.

There has been a lot of people who lost over 80% of their portfolio in the 2018 crash for example, most of the altcoins haven't recovered from that period. But, there has been a lot of people who invested in small stuff and made 50x of what they got in as well. We can't tell you which one will happen because it is not something we can see neither, if we could we would have been super rich and not be here.

There is a big difference between trading and investing but yet each brings its own profit when done appropriately, also both has their own risks.  In the case of trading, it requires a good level of knowledge so as to understand the market and so on, while for investing, understanding the project will lead to making the best decision. If you are thinking of investing be ready to know how to study projects so that you can pinpoint the good ones since there are many scam projects today. Also, know that just like trading, investing comes with its own risks, however it is also a good decision so far you are ready to follow the right way and not following hype.

Me trading, I want recommend you can start trading even if you have to good skills. as we know trade one of the best way for making profits in short time. Basically if you're not professional trader then you can investing in top currency.

I suppose the answer you give depends on whether you're a trader an investor or an asset collector. AS it is, in my case I prefer some asset investment followed by a little trade - I actually got burned recently by investing so I'm keeping my distance for a while - at least until i can recoup the money lost. However, each in their own way are good avenues to make enough profit if one knew them well enough!

I am also trade few coins which are sometime gives us much profit and sometime gives me regret and sorrow. but if we want to good trader than we should be much knowledge which cryptoes are invest and then it is good for anyone.

It's so dang true! You can't search for rewards if you don't actually earn them. Personally, I would choose to trade. Trading can bring you profits in the short-term periods while investing in a coin takes you a lot of time to do research and wait. Consider that you only have a small amount of money, you should choose to trade with altcoins since they don't cost a lot of money. It's just my opinion, hope you found it helpful.

If you can learn more about trading, I think you will have the opportunity to make a profit, and you can prevent to get loss. But that will also depend on how good the market move, and if you analyze where the price will move in a few hours later, you will see a good time to enter the market so you can buy the coin at a low price. But that will not be easy as you will see, the price will change every minute, so you need to be careful to analyze, and don't be greedy to make a profit.

I think the same trade and investment requires the right strategy to be applied, but with a small amount of funds of course trading daily then it can be done very simply and the analysis that you have learned, pergerkan market is quite unknown but at least we reach the target that has been set or in order to sell the skill has been done a lot so I think there must be instincts and the latest news and usually make the coins go up.

As it is now like Matic coins which are holding a trading competition and mainnet launch, I think this is something that needs to be noticed and will definitely go up.

Hello

I do think for small assets you should go for trading .

I think you should consider answer two questions first.
 1. Do you have time and energy to check the market value after every significant amount of time ?
 2. Can you take risk ? Can you make sure you consider risk management and invest in it without any negative effect on your own economic situation.
_________________________________________________________

If the answer to both of the questions is Yes , then I would suggest you to consider opting for an online course for trading first. Try it with a short investment then go for bigger operations.

_________________________________________________________
Trading is an art and you need hardwork, practice, patience and a lot of effort. It's not something which people can be successful in because of luck . I do hope you are able to successfully go though this experience and learn a lot .

If you don't have good knowledge about trading do more research before you start. Don't start with high investment when you are not confident. First try for short investment so that if you lose also you won't worry much. So that you gain experience also.

All choices depend on how well the skills you have in the chosen field, but when we do not have the skills then something we must realize to take precedence is about how much we understand about the industry and or the project, because even many people fail at the beginning because they don't understand and they only start by following the trends that occur so that they easily panic and sell even when the situation is losing money. So in these simple cases at least it can be a lesson even for myself, so it's not about investing or trading that must be chosen when we are confused making choices, move forward in accordance with the skills and high self-confidence that has, then whatever the choice whether it's investment or trading will at least make a profit even though it's not big.

I Don't Understand your Question,  Small Asset meain how many Amonunt, i don’tknow. I think Trade is Better option. Invest not for Small asset, Also it is Risky.

It seems you are still a avarge trader.if so, then shouldn't trade with those small assets. Rather try to gather more knowledge about treading from website article, youtube, free online course. I believe, thus you can best use of your assests. And Investment is also quite risky now

I believe you've come in at the right time. I said "right time" because BTC is going to stabilize a bit and we might have an alt season coming back to us (many alts already doing 5-10x where tfuel has set a big example). If you're patient enough to hodl your investment (not) for a very long time these days, if you've a goal set and you understand that greed can only sink your capital, then you can definitely make good returns.

If you have enough treading skill, patient, have ability to take risk, then treading will be a good choice as market condition is good now. If not, then you had better to hold crypto currency. This is good time to buy & hodl. Hope, altcoins will start increasing soon with bitcoin

Even without trading skills a man should be free enough to try new thing and maybe make some profit, that happens. We can't make decisions for others, you know what you have (little or not, can you add more later or not, your income and your goals) and it's on you to try different things and find what's best for you! Of course, you can lose some, or win some, depending on many factors, but whatever happens it's learning process and it's better to go trough that and to make some experience for later.

Everyone has different directions, but I think your plan is pretty good. I have also failed to trade and turned to long-term investments. It is one of those things that helps us save more time and not having to look at the computer screen every minute. trade makes me tired and I understand you feel the same way. so I support you to do this, you already have TA knowledge, this job will be much easier.

The capital is not the matter, when we need returns decides whether we have to trade or invest.But in my opinion investing is much safer compared to trading since the capital is small so we don't have much to risk with short term goals.

If you choose to invest long-term, you need to be strategic and stay calm when the market suddenly collapses. I think one way or another, you still have to find a way to ensure your profit when participating in the market because crypto is considered a very volatile place.

Currently, I have considered buying some coins that are available in this market and will keep until it is profitable.

If we take bitcoin as an investment then it is almost profitable since it was launched, only way to loss your money is if you invest at the end of bullish trend and sell them at the end of bearish trend which is like a cycle in crypto market so we can't consider this as really a long term investment.If we consider long term as three or more the bitcoin is still a profitable asset for the investor.

That's right. Its better to choose holding if you have enough knowledge about trading.  It will be very risky to trade if you have enough background about it. You will easily lose it if you trade it. You must choose the right coins you will invest to be better you should choose 1 to 2 coins in the market. Don't hesitate to invest then just hold. Its safer and must required patience.

Investing is in the exchange or buy to your wallet. I don't think here is for crypto investment but to learn about it and have better knowledge of it.
About being futuristic you have to be ready to be patient as buying and hodling is really a patient game but trading is fast to get gain.

I think that trading crypto assets (tokens) that have very low trading volume is extremly risky because there are moves around hundreds of percents up or down pretty normal - due to low liquidity.

After experiencing repeated losses, and losing a lot of capital. Therefore I strongly agree with your decision, to choose investments in crypto
compared trading again. That's the safest way to make a profit, with a little capital remaining. Although the profit that will be generated is
likely to take longer than trading. But your decision is good.

Yeah, you can make some good profit trading small amount of assets/cryptocurrencies. But, you will have to know what you are doing. Quick good profit, but the risks are high. One mistake, and you might end up making a disastrous loss.
On other hand, if you invest on known and well used crypto currencies for long time investment, then there is a high chance you will be making profit. The risk over here is less, since as long as crypto currencies live, the price will increase on the long run. These are just suggestions from me. Take them lightly, and do your own research.

I don’t know, I can’t completely agree with you. Crypto market is one of the most dangerous places to invest.

It offers very good prospects, but they are not stable and involve extremely high risks that few people realize and few can afford such risks. 90% of people over the past 3 years have lost from 50% to 99% of their deposit.

I am sure they, like you, were thinking that the crypto market is a great alternative to other investment environments.

The Ans to this: it is normal to encounter because:

1. You haven't settled down to research

2. You will be confused where you definitely put in your money or let's say you will be more confused when you dont know the particular trading platform you might leave huge amount of money in some cases due to password difficulty login.

I might choose to hold it. however, small assets only make small profits in trading, and so do investments. you should gather your assets into lots, and decide what you will take. however, we must be careful in this matter, because after all, all decisions cannot be reset.

Trading is all about your intelligence. Know when or how to invest and when to trade. Don't put all hopes in the coin you invested in, that it's going to make you rich soonest. Invest in what you can afford loosing and don't be over dependant on crypto investment, try and diversify your investment strategies in other angles

but now investment in cryptocurrency is worth it, compared to others when pandemic is on going the crypto and gold is becoming an option by investors, hopefully even if the pandemic ends crypto currency will be the choice

They are both good and you can even do the both of them if you're good at it. Day trading requires a lot of work, while HODL or long term investment requires just being able to predict the right time and invest, after you have invested you can then wait till things are in your favor.

I trade and I invest and they have both been working for me. I have my main job that I do, so I have not been able to give much of my attention to day trading. For now investment is the right thing for me. I have also been looking into other things as well.

Actually, pandemic has slowed down the growth of cryptocurerencies and at the same time we may assume like pandemic helped institutional investors to think about cryptocurrencies as stocks and bonds are not performing good right now. In my opinion anything other than bitcoin is good only for trade and bitcoin is always good for investments.

For people who do just jumped in just because they do saw from other that they do earn 10-100x-1000x back in the past doesnt even know on what are the risk involved here on crypto space on which they do just throw up their money without even knowing or making up some research on how thing works until they do bust out and loss almost their capital entirely.Mistakes are common though but we should always make our own research first before making any step because it would surely cost you if you do directly move without even thinking carefully. Small assets can somewhat do make profits depending if you do know on how to trade actively and effeciently
but if it doesnt work then try other investment options.Its just a matter of trial and error.

Indeed it depends on the knowledge and capability of the crypto user.
Whether trading or investing, someone should know what's going on before jumping in any one of them.
Some crypto users go to trading doing short term strategy and gaining profit rather than investing their portfolio where you need to wait for certain period of time.
So for the OP, it doesn't matter if he goes to investing, as long as he is comfortable on his decision and he knows very well about the market that he is into, there's no problem with that.

Both trading and investing are two different methods of making profits in the crypto space which certain requires different skills. I think not everyone is really good with trading and as such, such people do tends to look out for quality projects and invest their money in it with the hope of selling off when the price appreciate. Trading requires more of a technical skill as who have to understand charts movements and TAs. The best is to go for the one that suite u the best

Better to trade than you must invest on hold for long term with your small assets, but with trading you get profit in daily day although little but you push more after getting several time profit your your small assets for trading, many success people from trading start with small assets and push little by little and get more profit in trading way.

It will depend on how well you will manage your trading, small traders who are keen to succeed from this venture always
find ways to improve and enhanced their chances.
In order to be successful in trading, you should start small and learning the ropes first, doing the basics, familiarize your-
self with the ups and downs and just focusing on your goal.

---

And once you're done with the basics, you can take your trading to the next level just do it one step at a time. And before
you know it, you are already rolling big or taking higher chances.

Trading will give him the way to make money, and he can increase his assets in bitcoin or usdt. Before he starts trading, make sure he knows about the basic lesson of trading, and it's better if he knows how to analyze the market so he will have a big chance to make a profit. But we can not say that with trading, we will make a lot of money because trading is not as simple as we think. We need to learn and practice to have more experience that will help us to make a profit.

I think this is why it is important for us as traders to have a short list of exchange platforms that we use for trading.
And the short list of exchanges should be from the top exchanges existing in today crypto currency world.

Huge profits is not dependent on just long term investments; because trading can also give you that type of broad profits.

What you guys are forgetting that we are talking about small amounts here. If you invest into something with just 20 dollars and hodl, you are not going to make too much money out of it. How many times something you bought made 1000x type of return? It has to be rare unless you are very very lucky person. Most of the coins rarely ever do that type of return and that is why holding with small amount means nothing.

Definitely if you have a lot of money holding would mean something, or if you have a constant stream of income that you put into bitcoin it could mean a good amount of money, even yearly 30% or so is a good income when you can invest a decent amount but when we are talking about anything under 100 dollars trading is the way to go because that is the only way you can turn that money into something valuable.

Yes, absolutely you had taken a good decision, Because after losing a huge amount in trading when you only left with a certain amount then you have to stop it and looking for long term investment. Because it has fewer risks as compared to trading, so it is a beneficial move toward great future investment.

I think small capital is better to trade futures or options, because small capital can be a lot,
but if you invest in a spot market, small capital will not make a lot of money

When i trade i tend to keep a open mind on what's happening. because the crypto market is way more volatile than stocks. Which can be both bad and good at the same time. But if you have the time and patience i would suggest you to try and learn about trading. Whilst when you invest you are dependent on the coin/project you invested on. Which can go both ways. So i would recommend just do your research before investing on something even if it's just a small amount.

The most important of crypto short-term investments are safety, liquidity, and returns, and money market accounts have these characteristics. While you can buy any number of shares, if you're investing to make money, you'll probably want to try to buy at least of investment of market.

There are too many unknown factors on the market that can seriously affect the entire market.

Ignorance of these factors or the absence of assumptions about them introduce a very strong error in calculating potential profits.

When buying cryptocurrency at the highest levels in 2017-2018, the majority did not expect what would happen next, everyone was sure of further success.

Main mistake for most people when they being dragged with FOMO and its not a new thing because this market is unpredictable

but if we do think up carefully we can always take out and securing our profits when a certain peak hits up.Due to greed then we do

decide to held even more longer and thats why we do end up on bagholding and still waiting for the right time to sell for us to break even.

Market movement nowadays is too damn slow and for those who do held up up to these days would really have that kind of upset feeling.

I have a small asset too, I prefer investing than trading. On trading, if you have small capital your gains are small too. Unless you hit a jackpot with x100 leverage. Worst scenario you have trading losses and your small capital is getting lower and some are just being played by whales. I guess you are doing the right thing.

There is some gambling site that accepts investment and they give some returns, you can find that on gambling discussion posted by Yatsan. Also, Staking is a good option too, you are just leaving your crypto on a certain wallet and it grows but the profit is not that high. Some give only 10% APR.

Found the thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5239794.0

I think there will be no wrong desicion for that. Both have different ways to earn, It depends, if you have the ability to trade then trading is good for you but if not, much better to invest it.

It's easy to talk about things and events after the fact.
Over the past two years, Bitmex has eliminated hundreds of millions of dollars in every major Bitcoin movement.

These are deposits of large players with fairly extensive experience over the years.
However, why are so many of them still not taking profits and suffering losses?

Because there are a lot of factors that need to be predicted, and most even experienced traders cannot cope with this.

I think it depends on you if you want to trade with a high risk or you invest with a long period of profit but low risk. Trade may risk but there is a possibility that you can earn a fast and high profits but also theres a risk that you may lose your money too. Investment is good if you choose a good cryptocurrencies but if you choose the wrong one you may also lose you investments. In conclusion it depends on you wether you trade or invest.

When you are dealing with too little amount the best way to deal with it is to find a way to make more of it. The best case is staking and I know that for staking you would need a lot of money to make it worth something but there are coins/tokens out there where you can stake to earn a lot more of it.

Usually they do not worth much and while you are staking the price goes down as well so it looks like it is not worth it and it is true that if you have a decent amount it is not worth it since you could destroy the market. However when you have a small amount of it you could totally make it happen since the small assets you sell will not destroy the market in that case. You can grow it like that and keep reinvesting with the money you save every month, that way you can move to more serious coins/tokens.

Cryptocurrency is a good investment, there is no need to ask, though it depends on the cryptocurrency you bought. Judging from your headline you said small assets, are you referring to the altcoins?

I usually go for BTC or ETH. Other coins are usually a disappointment. And one thing I don't do is to rely fully on trading just like some traders would come out to say that they are full-time traders. I wonder how they manage to cope with that because I know for sure it's a hard thing to do, because profit doesn't come from trade or investment every minute of the day.

Let us get the things clear here. Trading and Investing both are some different means of generating profit/loss.
Cryptocurrency is a good trade/invest asset based on which coin you are putting your money in.

If you are trading then it involves you to constantly keep an eye on the market or may be short term depending on your interest.
Bitcoin and some potential altcoins will be a good choice if you want to trade since these cryptocurrencies have good volatility.
This involves more risk though since the market can go against you anytime.

If you are planning to invest your money for long term then bitcoin or ethereum should be your choice since these are the most potential cryptocurrency investments. This involves less risk than trading but will require you to be patient.

In many cases, and largely determined by your needs, it is therefore not correct to say that a small deposit size is not effective.
In trading, the value of the growth of your deposit in% set is important.

If you manage to systematically increase the deposit every month or every year, then at some point you will reach the point where your earnings will suit you completely.

But this is a path to which not everyone is ready, it is too difficult, and mistakes on it are sometimes very expensive.

Talking about small assets I think he is indeed heading towards Altcoin. however, if you have $ 100, then it's too small for bitcoin, even for the fee it's big enough. because of this, I also think that ethereum is an alternative if bitcoin is not an option.
is this the right decision? Well, it all depends on how you use the assets you have.

As a newbie, I like investing more than trading, because investing only needs to choose the right coins to buy. After that we only need
to wait until the price rises, in contrast to trading we must always monitor the market and must be able to read trading chart. The risk
is even greater than investment, especially if we are small capital is better invested more than trading.

Always remember that once we enter into trading methods in different exchange, expect the unexpected things.
This maybe the reason why most of the traders who got loss most often in doing trade, aside from that, lack of knowledge
was also one of the factor of facing loss of our coins as well. That's why trading required skills and knowledge.

Investments has better returns than trading but it should be on right asset and for the long term.Because most of the millionaires in 2020,started their career with less capital but they managed to keep investing on the returns again made them to be a millionaire.

I think it depends on the situation. If he wants to gain his profit in a minimum amoun of time, he can choose trading, he can do day trading if he want some scalping can give him more money if he knows how to trade efficiently. But if he wants to make it longer invest it , I think investment has its own lock out period. But i think both tradind and investment are same thing, but with different risk.

depends on what you think small amount is because to me small amount is lower than 10 or 5 dollars  .

i wont trade that because its hard to make it big but id rather save it  and form a reasonable capital and that would be the time to comeback and engage on trading activity . on your case both trading and investing are equal  . why not do both ? if you only need one then you need to choose even if its hard

You have good decisions regarding trading and investing and I support you, I think what you are doing is very good. I don't like long-term investments in cryptocurrency, because I think it is very risky even though it can make a lot of profit. For an investment let alone the long term I am more interested in its value security because I am a little afraid of the fast fluctuations in crypto. Whereas my own opinion regarding small assets has no effect on investment or trading choices, because our initial goal is to make as much profit as possible and what the owner will choose is the decision of the owner himself who understands cryptocurrency.

It always matter on your own preference and your strategies.It doesnt need for you to go along on whats majority been doing if you do find out that dealing with prices on active manner
do give you the outmost profits then stick to it and if not then simply just held of for long term.
Good decision making is somewhat like a gamble on where good calls and bad ones would only be the outcome.Since we do talk about small assets then letting it big would be more
faster if we do deal on trading actively compared if we do just stick on passives.
Whats the most important is you do know how to manage risk and always make some back up plans if one plan doesnt come on what you had anticipated.

The quantity of small assets varies from person to person. Yet, it is difficult to say which investment or trading is better. Investment or trading should be accomplished by peeking at the market stance. However, I assume it is convenient to render small assets through trading.

For me trade with small amonut of money is too risky. I prefer to choose invest in the some good projects with good idea,unique and good development. Make sure to research projects first before start investing to avoid scam projects.

I don't think investing is better than trading but it doesn't matter.

It is better if you can do both. Investing is not always as good, trading is the same as there are higher risks but if you can do both, you can maximize the profit you are getting. Hold Bitcoin for a period of time and then use it to trade with other altcoins, if you want to you can just sell it and reinvest again if it is a favorable price.

The strategy that we should depends on the extent of our skills, what do I mean by that? If our skills are more suitable on holding or what they call long term investing then why we will force our self to do trading. If we force ourself then the outcome will be obvious which is bad because we can lose huge amount of money. I'm a trader and long term investing is not suitable to me because I do not have the patience like most of the investors have.

Making investment is good but before putting money, we should aware and consider the risks that we are taking. We want to invest or trade because of the profit that we may get but still we should always be prepared to the losses that we may encounter. There is no perfect strategy after all so learn how to manage risks very well.

Initially when people have no idea of trading, they just invest only in the btc or some altcoins. This will help them to make some money and then later once they know some trading as well then can trade with those profits makes by investing in the coins. So, start with investing and move on to trading.

I believe that today you need to take advantage of the moment by controlling the cryptocurrency market and new projects in order to profitably invest your funds. Due to the interest of investors in projects such as Cartesi and Idena, there are great chances to increase their capital in a short time, because along with the interest in these projects, their price also grows.

It would be better to invest than to trade with small assets. If you have no idea how to trade, you are more likely to lose in that case you will be able to lose all your money. The crypto market is improving a lot and the prices of currencies are rising. In that case if we invest and hold on, then if the price goes up it is possible to achieve double profit. before investing the market should be well checked and the currency should be selected.

That is why it is better to do both.

I know that trading is not that easy but it will give more profit if you can utilize these two correctly. Holding is great but you won't be able to take advantage of the price movements happening since you will be stuck holding unto one. I know it is hard but there are ways for us to minimize risks like for example diversifying our portfolio.

Whether this is a good decision or not depends entirely on who you are as a person and what are the characteristics of your personality, for example on the surface investing may seem to be easier than it is to trade but the truth is that you require different skills and abilities, in the case of investing you need to be very resistant to the volatility of the market especially when it goes against you otherwise you're going to panic at the first sign of trouble and sell your coins for a loss.

For small capital i will invest in the currency of my choice. For this I will wait until the price of bitcoin ethereum goes down then i will invest. You need to be efficient and set the right time because you need to know which time is right for you to buy. The right time for your purchase will help you succeed. Holding should always be done in the long run because one cannot be rich in a short time. One step of every investment has to be patient.

Trading or investing is a choice that depends solely on the individual.
It depends on whether or not the individual is willing to take risks. Trading involves taking risk simply because no one can accurately predict the move of the market, at least not always.
Besides, one is required to do a lot of assignments before one can start trading. You have all required knowledge and skills so as not to get your hands burnt.
Investing on the other hand is simply holding your investments for a long time.

Moreover small amount big risky in trading for me so i want investing in eth, xrp, tron, btc, eos etc totally one in top altcoins. Even small assets investment not more profitable i know but safe is more important to me. I can increase my investment assets when i will got more skills about control profits planing. I would like suggest you can learned about trading/invest then you can start.

And investing itself is a part of trading because when we talk of trading it consists of two parts.

Invest/Buy: Make sure you buy at the right time and there is scope for growth in coming time.

Divest/Sell: Sell the tokens at the right time because altcoins market is so risky and volatile that you can lose everything in greed of earning more.

Once you master these 2 skills you become a good trader so investing is not different from trading, in fact it is part of the trading.

Very well said and actually I believe one should invest if they are looking to invest in projects that have a solid plan and looks like a visionary product rather than a pump and dump scheme. A lot of people think pump and dump is bad and it actually is, but being smart you can benefit from a pump and dump project by investing at the right time but making sure to divest during the peak or near about it.

Yeah trading can be problematic specially since you already lost in trading and have small amount left because of that it won't pump any confidence into your trading either so better to use that money and go full-in with a good project which has long term vision.

There are traders who are able to get rich thru trading in a short time, during DeFi hype many were able to do it, it will depends on how well we are in trading and analysing projects. It is much safer to invest in BTC but it will be better if we try to explore other projects by studying them first, Holding will depend on what coin we are having mostly it only works now in BTC and top altcoins so we should also be careful once we invest and thinks it good for long term since crypto is too volatile, it can be good now but not for long as there are many coins appearing or improving. Just see the defi projects who are in top list of coinmarketcap now that was not there before. Better set stop loss in trading and be updated always.

Exchanging however is extremely unsafe and you will to learn on the off chance that you need to go to that way, to put it plainly, you can find out about exchanging while you are as yet developing your ventures. A danger cherishing and steady cash blossom can assess this capital by exchanging, and an individual with an okay limit and a quest for ensured profit can assess it as a drawn out venture.

It depends on what coin your trade or what project you will invested because even you have a small assets that you will invest as long is the project is legit and will grow you will gain money also depends to the coins on how many times will rise the value. There is a certain technique that other people do so the assets they have will grow or become bigger their funds but patient and hardwork is needed also that.

First of all, we should understand what small amounts mean. For somy people, 100 dollars is a big sum, whether other guys think that there is no sense to trade with it — too small. If a trader is a beginning guy, he needs experience, and trading smaller sums is better for him.

Investing for the short term at least the returns that can be obtained are higher than trading, but that depends on your own goals because for me it is useless to hold it for the long term because it is just a small asset. But if you have the skills to turn a small asset in trading into a big asset, then I think that is a great decision and if you are ready to go through each process I am sure you will succeed in both.

I agree with that. If you have the time and are willing to trade with small asset then that's not too bad of a strategy after all, as you will sure get to learn a lot.

The challenge with this though is being able to select a coin which is going to do well, often once you do well in one you're tempted to broaden into other projects that look good at the time, then only to find out that you stretched too much.

I've seen this happens lots of times, where people get confident when they got lucky with one small asset and used their profit to diversify a little only to get burnt.

Because of these challenges you don't often find people who'd go for this strategy, so if you think you can do it then you'd be having a firm stand.

It's tough but having that firmstand believing that with your own understanding you can changed things up,
it's risky though but f you already familiriazesd yourself it will be easy for you.

Not in terms of reaching your goals as quick as you think but to handle different situations and diffrent outcomes, if you have
the guts to move forward.

Making a huge profits from your small assets is very possible, it takes to belive and start moving
slowly and not rush everythignout to avoid burning all your invested money.

Common mistake of people is that they do rush up on  making out decisions where they do hurry up on making profits which would really be in result in certain mistakes.
Everything would really be needed up some time for you to grasp because it cant really be learn in a short span of time and this is where mistakes do happen because
people are too impatient.

When it comes to investment decisions then this will particularly depend into your own experience and getting experience is on to face and engage with the market.
neither you do have small assets but doesnt mean that you cant earn that big.Its a matter on how you do make use of your own skills and understanding.

In my opinion, if we have a small capital, it is better to invest than trade. Because the risk of trading is much greater than investing,
even if we do not have good knowledge and skills in trading, the capital we have can run out. Especially if we are not in a hurry to
generate profits, we can choose long-term investments. So we only need to be patient to wait a few years until finally the price of
the coins we buy increases in price. Compared we must struggling in trading.

Well if he only have a small amount, he can generate more profit through trading. As long as you're aware of what to expect and has knowledge about it then he can try trading. It is risky compared to holding for long period but I think there's a high chance to make your capital grow compared to hodling wherein you have to wait because it takes time. Plus he only have a small amount which I think if you chose to be a holdler much better if you have an above average capital since it might take months or years before you can see the result or if the bullrun occur.

in my opinion if you only have a little capital, it's better to trade in futures trading,
because with just $ 100 you can get $ 1- $ 5 every day, if you are able to read and analyze charts of course trading is the right choice.
if you investment can also, but it is very unfortunate if you only have a small capital

Do not ever skip the learning part, as a newbie you should have determination to focus in your education in order for you to have better trading journey. It is all about mindset in trading, you do not need to put huge money at the beginning of your trading journey. Small amount of money is really preferable especially if you are new in the market because it serves as experience portfolio where you gain experiences as you trade and trade. But that portfolio can grow up fast if you have good education where you know what are the cryptocurrencies are good to buy or what should be ignore. By believing in ourselves, we can become a better trader. Mindset is everything, if you think that you are not going to be a good trader then you are really not become a good trader but if you think that you are going to be profitable trader then you can really become a profitable trader.

I think investing in new quality projects is still better, it is important not to be manipulated by fraudulent projects. Investing in the right projects with the current bull market, he can double small assets more quickly.

It takes patience and stays consistent if you want to be a trader or in any job it is. Moreover, we know to trade and investing in crypto will be very risky to lose. Conceptually bitcoin business sounds easy, but in fact, requires good analysis and strategy to minimize losses incurred.
You’re one who doesn’t give up easily, even if you’ve lost. Trading and investing are two options by which you yourself have to choose.
The most important thing is to determine strategic steps to minimize losses and optimize profits.

You are correct, a lot of money to lose when trading without full knowledge on how to trade wisely. I already experienced it many times because I really want to win on trading but unlucky I am losing my money but I never stop learning and studying trading crypto coins. One thing I want to apply to myself is that to be humble and not to be greedy. In trading we need a lot of patience and having this attitude can make you win. One thing if you want to earn without any hassle, just invest on coins that has good value in the future.

There are many such platforms, and this is often called staking.
Trading and investing are similar to each other. Both of these strategies are aimed at reducing risks. The lower the risks, the higher the profit.
In trading, you are obliged to notice traps and risky situations in time and bypass them whenever possible, in investing you ignore everything, there it is important for you to maintain a long time pause before putting your assets in motion.

I think with the small investment we cannot get the good return of profits, we should try to find a good forex trader with the PAMM account, we can take risk to invest little amount there, In cyrpto if you are a good trader then you can buy any coin with the low rate and when rate start increasing you can sell it, but first check the project details and see the history of that coin on CMC or coingeeko as well.

Small amount better for future trading because faster to increase profit and you can take profit although bitcoin or altcoin have lower or higher price, with small amount I think need long time to get profit with spot trading or try to invest and you have looking for potential coin to buy or hold, but with future trading when price down or up above $2 you can get enough profit and use leverage just 10x, not use bigger lev will make you too close with liquid, now the moment where many altcoin have lower price and give chance to you for short on future trading and waiting how dump altcoin to take profit for your future trading.

The price of bitcoin is increasing and the prices of other altcoins are dumping but if you analyze the market well it is possible to find the right currency both trade and investment are good but it is related to the situation of the market. It is better to invest if you do not know anything about trade long term investments have to wait a long time. You can trade every day if you have less patience but it requires experience trade charts must be well understood.

The difference between investing in bitcoin or trading altcoins depends on the time frame. Although the return for investment requires a long time, but it still worth the time compared to short-term trading which has a high risk and takes time to analyze and observe market movements every day. That's why Op's decision is a good choice because investing in bitcoin doesn't take too long either, simply 1-2 months waiting for bitcoin reach a higher price, then the profit is quite good.

I dont think so. Trading is a good option but you need to have efforts to learn trading. It is a hard process and can make you frustrated. Investing is somehow better for people with less time. Just choose a right coin and then you just have to wait for them to go up. It may take more than a month but it is worth

I have been trading for many years and everything is still very struggle. And in my knowledge, Forex trading is tough and you cant learn it in a couple of days. Experience is very important. Emotional control is also a factor determine your win

Small investments according to me is good if you say in safety purpose.
If you invest big, then there is huge chances to face big losses also.
Moreover big investments can yield you big profits, but who wants to take risks.
So according to me it's good to trade small assets, these have less risks and can yield little Profit to you by taking long time.

In the crypto market, we really shouldn't invest too safely. As you can see, the ICO trend in 2017 helped a lot of people get rich by investing recklessly.
Therefore, with small capital, we should carry out more serious analysis in the selection of projects to invest in, and especially be one of the trend leaders. Try looking back at Defi trend, if your account has about $ 1000 and you choose to buy tokens of YFI or Compound, now you have a large fortune on hand. So why don't we try to take risk with a small amount but get a big reward? :D

Dealers are daring individuals while financial specialists are undoubtedly avoids hazard. So your choice relies upon you and your viewpoint towards hazard. On the off chance that you are acceptable at exchanging go with this in the event that you need just to cause venture to pull out all the stops. You don't have to tune in to others since you simply make a venture or exchange once we go into the universe of crypto it is loaded with hazard it relies upon you how you handle the circumstance and try not to lose your assets.

Trade or invest how this capital can be assessed may change as indicated by the individual's own structure. A danger adoring and consistent cash bloom can assess this capital by exchanging, and an individual with a generally safe limit and a quest for ensured profit can assess it as a drawn out venture.

Well from your experience, it is clear that you discovered what many traders do not, which is, to see trading as a business and not as a way to become a millionaire overnight. I have seen many gambling in trading, some do well and win, but that luck runs out and they lose everything in the end.

When trading is seen as a business, you begin to mature commercially, in a traditional business the return on investment is calculated for 3 years, the difference with trading and the Bitcoin market is that this profitability can be seen much earlier, there are some that They are looking for 1% daily, which is difficult, the market does not move mathematically perfect, the market is moved by emotions, and there is no exact indicator to measure it.

I think that by looking at trading as a business, you start to see long-term profits and at the same time you gain experience and learn when you lose and when you win.

That's the thing, trading isn't gambling! Why is that, this is because, trading comes with definite signals that if understood or read correctly, one can predict where the direction of the trade is to be headed in the next set of pips and this is what gambling doesn't offer. So, when you gamble over a trade, your bound to pick a few bets that would drive you to where you would have hoped not to be.

For OP, there is nothing wrong with going long and safe. It's always about finding what suits you or puts your mind at ease. If going long and safe does that, then your good but then, it is the risk taking that becomes more rewarding. I'm sure you realize that but, if you are actually not riding but sinking into the risk due to no proper experience, then you should learn the trade of move to a more substitute strategy as you have adopted to benefit from Cryptos.

Agreed. Trading vs investing can both make you profit if you know how to utilize the strategies to your best interest.

Nonetheless, either of the methods present their own risks and a fair amount of research needs to be done before hand but you'd need to do that anyway irrespective of which way you decide to make a return, crypto or not.

I'd be more interested to hear more about investment options that either you or other people are doing i.e. yield farming, staking, liquidity mining? It would be great to see your thoughts.

It is about mastering a specific method, if you are good in trading then focus on trading but if you good in investing then focus in investing, the capital is not matter because if you like what you are doing where your skills are suitable to you then profit will eventually come to you. When I first make investment, I focus on investing first because I'm not yet used to buying and selling consecutively but as time passes by; I became interested to trading where for me my skills improved and my knowledge are also enough to start trading. Both of them are profitable because I tried both of the methods but choosing one can help us to master it.

If i am the one who wanted to start trading or investing in bitcoin first and foremost the budget or the amount of my capital matters most. Personally i'm still not that good enough in trading and currently becoming a keen observant on how market goes up and down, doing a deep research about technical analysis that's why if i have a small assets i would rather to invest it while im just on my stage where i am educating myself on how i can generate profit from this small amount.

If anyone has small assets then it will better for him or her to trade with good knowledge. But remember one thing before going trade that you must have the proper knowledge about trading and need to give enough time to research. Then you will be able to make successful trade by which you can make able to increase your deposited funds very soon and then you can go for invest with a good amount of money. That's all about my thinking regarding this.

I recently read the tweet of Steve burns who is also a popular trader where he mentioned that "more capital doesn't make people better traders, it just make losses bigger and emotions louder". I really love what he just said and I actually understand when I first read it. It is not about having huge capital in trading, it is all about skills that you can use in order to make profit. Even though your capital is still small then be proud and you can multiply it depends on the skills that you have. There is compounding in trading and you can easily increase your capital through compounding. With small amount of money, we can get a lot of experiences that are matter and can help us to achieve what we want. Do not start with huge capital because like what Steve said where you will only make your losses so big that you cannot manage your emotions anymore.

What you have mentioned is right, which it is impossible for some people to take profits with smaller asset, they need to rethink twice before investing any amount in trading whether they have the ability to find out the best possible coin in the market for profit-making.

Trading and investing are differ to one another, but both are helpful to us, because without investing We can't able to trade in any of the exchange site platform. Meaning, if we are going combine them as a good tandem, perhaps in the end it could give a nice profit to us for sure. However, there there is a right timing for selling and buying, then we should know how to manage properly when we are in the actual trading of course.

If in case that the small asset you have is all what you have of course you should be very careful of where will you gonna put it. A better knowledge and a wise decision making will surely gonna help you out to make a profit from this. Better be knowledgeable enough about the crypto market before youre going to risk to put your small assets either in investment or even in trading because both are also required a good analization and tactics on how you can make a profit from it.

Smaller assets are better than they should be, and you may not need to wait long-term to make a lot of profit. It depends on whether your coin investment will have a good price.

If a person have small assets it depends on them what they choose , if they choosing trading they need to trade a coin who is shorterm first and after they earn grow their capital that is the time that they need to invest to the longterm investment for the huge profit.

Investing to the project with small capital is good but if the project and legit and if it will grow the good profit you will get.

Note that if u don’t have huge amount of money worth coin or token, that can be used for high risk full trading. Kindda like what i m talking is u can use this funds for 25x leverage on futures trading. You will learn that u need to go to that way for high risk. It's not a financial advice. DYOR

That is right so maybe it is best to buy Bitcoins with that amount and who knows in 10 years time you might have 100x your money which would then be very useful and worth. Identifying good coins is as hard as diamond in a coal mine so not everyone has that ability and having the ability to read and understand whitepaper is one thing but there are many aspects like the team behind the project, the technical details and how the sustainability of the project looks.

I would have bought BTC with the amount no matter how small because one day even a satoshi might be worth saving and it feels like a bad joke right now, I know, but so it felt when someone purchased a pizza for 10000 BTC!

With trading you can increase your money day by day if you get much profit from trading than you wanna invest with small amount take long time for earn profit, better you can get chance with trading and I think you can get profit one day above 10% and use your profit to trade again after your small money become bigger, than after have much profit from trading you can use for investing in long time, just take good decision coin have potential to higher price at the future like eth, bch and ltc, never get risk with new coin listed on uniswap or Y coin where very hit and run right now because could make you loss all your money, there are not specific about how much coin supply and what the feature of coin is not clearly.

I would say one should actually decide based on the amount, if the amount is enough is enough for you to trade such that you can buy and sell coins and make profit then you must use the funds for trading. If the left over amount is so small that you cannot trade with it then better to find a project that looks promising and the coin value is cheap, invest all your small amount there and forget about it. By forgetting I mean don't check it's price daily maybe once a month is fine because you would want huge profits from that instead of selling it at a 10-20% profit.

It is a good question because often at times we trade and face losses and are left with small amount and unsure what to do with the money. Some would get frustrated and gamble it away but the smarter choice is to keep the head calm and either invest or if it is significant enough then start trading again with that.

Merchants are daring individuals while financial specialists are no doubt avoids hazard. So your choice relies upon you and your viewpoint towards hazard. There's no good and bad choice included. I propose you exchange since that can assist you with increasing more benefit as the present moment, we see that the market can move well. So you will get an opportunity to expand your resource while you can likewise hold some sum for the following bull run that can happen whenever.

I think most people will think to choose but it is better to do all of the decision because in reality we could definitely do all the option. Why not start small and trade then invest what we earn and gain more by having small assets to have an opportunity to earn more in the future.

You have a chance to do it but not all of the times it will work because we are not intelligent enough to know what will happen to the price in the next hours or days. I prefer to just invest small amount of money first wherein the amount will depends on how you treat your money for example if you see $1k is too big then try to make investment with $300 or below. Trading is not a gambling so you can increase your win rate here and there is also proper diversification wherein you will not use all of your money just to buy a specific coin. I will give example for those who do not get the diversification, for example your first investment is $300, then the ideal diversification is 20% per each which is the $60 wherein every coin should have a maximum allocation of $60. You can learn proper diversification through experience and through researching online.

Crypto investment is really a good choice. I've started invested on this last 7 years ago and I didn't regret doing it till now. Though it is very volatile, there are many potential cryptocurrencies that are worth investing if you research very well. Now that we are on bullish market, I can see my gains over the past few years of just hodling. It depends on you if you also want to trade, since I have a weak emotion I prefer as a long term investor.

It depends upon your capability if you are wiser enough in trading, yes you can trade the money that you have although this is small amount but if you are not good in trading, do not waste your time and money for this. Trading is not easy and a lot of time, money and effort to spend before you can say you are wise on it. If you plan to invest that money that you have now just choose investments that has good potential do not invest on a high yield investment program if you don't want to lose your money. Do not be greedy.

And you need to be good in choosing the coin you're about to invest and buy. In short term, they are lucrative but you can't always rely on them. Most of the those that you're finding as a gem and it's not part of the most popular coins, you'll likely to see it pump and dump most of the time.

It is best to avoid those types if you're for long term but as a short term trader, you can enjoy the ride on it.

In trading, you need to have a stronger feeling and you shouldn't have a weakness in heart when you profit. You shouldn't regret if you took already the profit.

That's exactly why it's better to invest long-term if you have lower amount of funds that can not possibly give you that much returns so that you don't get stuck in a loop of constantly getting into trades with high amount of risk solely to get the return that you are okay with.

It's crucial that you think reasonably in that situation and don't compare your profits with traders that trade with higher amount of money and only compare the percentage that you got out of a trade, when you don't got too much money in trading you kind of have to take more risks so that you can get decent amount of profit at the end of the trade but it's not a very good long-term strategy to take higher risk trades or get into leveraged trading since crypto market is highly volatile and sooner or later you will lose most or all of your money if you take too much risk and buy coins that are pump and dump or use high leverage(more than 3x).

It all depends on where you are comfortable with. Both trading and investment can profitable in their ways so I think it is better to choose according to your skill or will suit your time.
In my case, I have a lot of stuff to work on and I do only have a bear time to make any trade that is why I choose to change into investment.
I would say that crypto investment was safe though but if you know you were doing and know where coin to invest I think you'll be fine. Regarding the speed, crypto is volatile so the ROI wouldn't be that slow.

I resonate with you here. Trading and especially when you're doing it intra-day requires quite some time and a lot of your mental resources. It gets pretty rough when you have to pay attention to multiple indicators and timeframes, keep an eye on other assets and integrate a robust risk management system. If you have another full-time job and business that you want to take care off, its quite an overkill to trade on top of it. I don't say that it can't be done, but it requires certain sacrifices.

Since you are just having a small asset I believe investing it will be better you are just invest it and leave it for maybe 1 year and see how your money will have grow.

Your decision is good. Long time investment give you high profit. Trading and investment two deferent methods. You need every day for trading profit or loss. But you can invest for long time. You tell that have small assets. Small assets can be high profit with trade. Regularly trade you can increase your assets then you can invest for long time. But i think first better trade for you.

Many people already clarified the difference between investing and trading. They've explained that they two different methods of making money. Investing is less risky as compared to trading.
Investing small assets or resources is great idea. You just have to consider your ROI and the time frame. The returns on your investment after particular period of time is worth considering before making any investment. Making an investment of $100 for a year and yielding only 10% isn't a great investment for me. I'm sure you'd agree with me that yielding 10% every month is great investment.
I think trading with small assets is better compared to investing them. If you're very good in trading, then it is advisable you trade your small assets as you're sure to make profits especially if you use leverage. They might be small at first but with time, you'd realize you've made much already.

Trading or investing ? Both of them are profitable if the user is wise. For me, if I only have a small assets then I will just invest it on new project/s instead of trading, for the reason that investing small funds into project/s which having IEO, ICO or etc. is more profitable because of the big discounts in their tokensale and when the project turns out to be successful.

Trading and investing are actually two different ways of achieving the same goal--which is to make money. Trading is not meant for everyone. It's meant for those who are ready to take risks and are ready to take time out to learn the necessary skills and knowledge required for trading. Trading isn't meant for those who are not ready to put in the required effort.
Investing on the other hand is just meant to make money passively. You don't have to take the risks or take time to learn about trading and all. You just need to buy a coin and hodl it for a while, it increases in price and then you make profits

We can easily trade with small amounts.

But when it starts to grow, we're becoming careful of trading it because if it's already in profit.

We will not going to allow it to lose as we trade that's why it's a transition of holding and reinvesting it if you want.

In my conclusion, having the little resource develop to begin with may be a priority because exchanging is exceptionally costly and you'll require a part of stores for that to drag off, I am no master but in case I were to select whether contribute or exchange, I would or maybe do speculation since I discover exchanging more more secure for growing your resources, on the off chance that you truly need to trade at that point you'll be able utilize venture as a bridge to form beyond any doubt simply can final for a long time sufficient to benefit huge time in exchanging.

We must understand that trading is easily accessible to us, it will also easily be over for us, especially when we start with small assets, what we need most will be perfect wins, we are not allowed to make small mistakes in trading when we are too poor, chances are we are only a few times, that's what I can say, fast but unstable growth has never been my goal. Investing and holding is the better decision when we just need to look at the bright spots in the market, not too hard to see them, be patient with them and the result is absolutely good and safe.

You have to remember that if you want to do business, you have to lose something. If you want to get something, you have to give something. When you have learned a subject completely, you have to lose it.
Thank
you

It is very usual to take steps that will make you do mistakes. Don't say that we're not allowed to make mistakes.

Because the reality is that we usually make mistakes with our trades even the experienced ones, they have close calls and decisions but in the ending, they still have those mistakes.

It's not about being poor or rich but it's about how determined and careful you are.

you should define, how small is small?  ;D
take a look at this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5321029.msg56477603#msg56477603
the OP got $100K from his $14K of trading capital and decide to quit his regular job.
IMO, it's better to accumulate your assets first and hold it when you reach your goal.
so, first set your goal, set the expected return of your investment, then you would know how many you should earn before hold it.
set your target price too, because I believe you don't want to miss the perfect time to sell.

Straight and precise it's a matter of decisioning your next move. Inside this kind of investment, you need to be precise. There are many factors that you needed to work on when letting go with your assets.

Things that you'll learn along the way, you need to keep those valuable that you believe will give you more and you need to let

go of those that you see you already got enough. Be contented and keep moving forward there are so many things that you'll going to experienced along the way.

Every one had a different experience in trading.Most of the beginners will had a negative experience. Because they may get into platform by seeing the pump to make some profit. When the fluctuations happened, he should wait till the positive fluctuations.
But mostly the beginner will sold by the panic selling. By that the price will further reduced.To overcome such things, he should hold it.

Yes, don't force yourself to trade if you are likely hard to trade. But if having sufficient skills in trading or you already decide to learn seriously in trading, then consider choosing both trading and investing is okay. Trading and investing require different skills and knowledge, so it shouldn't be so easy to manage both if having a lack of motivation and bad skills. Especially about motivation, it should be strong enough, skills can be learned if having serious motivation.

There's no instant success in trading, you have to be patient and trading even without less knowledge is okay as everyone of us starts from being a newbie, we continue to study while learning from our mistakes, I think that's what only matters.

We shouldn't be afraid, we can always try and put some limitations and targets, if time comes that we realized trading is not really for us, THEN WE STOP!.. it's very simple as that.

Small assets will best for Daily trading and i think you can increase  2x your portfolio from trading becouse i believe that if you use your small amount on investment then it will not more profitable for you.     

So let's always stick with only 1% of our capital in every trade so that we can have more opportunity to make and have risk management in trading. We should not frustrating when we can't get profit in the beginning, we should also grateful to earn 5%-10% in every trade and we should not be greedy. Small amount of capital is not bad in the start of trading. It's all about how you will earn throughout the whole process.

Some people always find it hard to trade with small capital which usually cause loses for them. Its one of the trading issues which is why investing for longer term is more advisable as long as the individual have the patience to wait for as long as it is ripe for harvest.

I think invest will be the best option if you want to start with small amount. Because trading is one kind of risky if you aren't expert it has a 10/90 chance to win or loss. Because expert are friendly to graph and they know how to take profit. So if you want to start with small amount then doing a spot trade like invest. Choose a best project. And invest on it then wait some time then when you get profit. Just take profit. And then when your small amout becomes a average amount then start your trading journey.  It takes a little bit time but it is the safest method.

Most of those who keep losing their investment are people/trader  who practice trading like gambling, small capital easily break them down with a small mistake from their place.

Is really far better to take the long-term as you can maximize your profits without worrying that much,  you just simply hold your assets till it reached the peak that you are waiting.

It's not also easy but if you have the right point of view and enough patience to wait for your success, everything is possible.

It doesn't matter if you want to just invest in this crypto industry if indeed you have constraints in trading. Investing will indeed make you more relaxed,
you just need to choose a potential altcoin for your investment, or you will switch to bitcoin investment both are also good at the moment.
Short trading sometimes takes extra time and analysis, but short trades this time look more promising with the current bullish market conditions.
But it all depends on each other's choice.

With small assets better for trading and take daily days profit so you can increase your money day by day and get much later, if you want to invest you have looking for with altcoin still have lower price and potential back to higher price few months later and could be pump above 400%, but its not easy right now getting with potential coin can pump more than 400%.

I agree on that small asset is for trading if you have big asset it is for holding, but it depends on the holder, if they are comportable on holding they can still hold on it since we dont know when the price rise or fall it depend on the market, it doesnt matter if it is small asset or big the important thing is you know how to make profit.

On the bolded part where I do heavily agree into this line where it doesn't matter if you do have small or big, the main focus is to make profits even though the difference is clear but
that's better rather than losing at all.

Trade or Invest? They are just basically the same because you have been putting some money for you to earn money.It is just varying or different on how its been done
or on the time you've been spending some effort.

As long you do know the risk of investment then I don't see anything wrong with it for you not to engage.

No matter the options will be, the decision is still depends on the user itself whethee he trade or just invest. If I am thw one to decide then I will go to invest if I have small assets and I don't have enought to time to monitor my trading activities. Being a pre-sale investor usually do much higher profits if the project/s become succesful with it's tokensale.

Well that's absolutely true. If you say small assets for long-term investments it's a wise choice. from 100% of the assets on the exchange use 70% for daily trading and 30% for long-term investments. Long-term investment will be profitable if the project is good. otherwise we will regret our such project is an exit scam.

It's a good allocation of assets, you'll be more aggressive with daily trading if you think you can be profitable and you have that consistency though. Short term trading is too risky with lack of knowledge, if you are not that educated yet and you don't have the right experience, I'd recommend buying and just hold then wait.

if you want to invest a minimum of your capital is $ 1000, for me, but if you are less than $ 1000 better trade,
because with just $ 500 you can get profit almost $ 10 a day, even 20% - 50% per month, depending on what coins you buy,
because in a bullish situation you can get profits easily.

We should choose correct strategy to grow our wealth. I personally divide my investment fund into some type of investment. I only use 20% of my wealth for some cryptocurrencies. Usually I shifts between btc and altcoin, when btc price seems like to increase then I sell some altcoin to buy btc, usually it happen when it is near to halving time. When btc price reach top of the price at that moment then I buy some altcoin. Last time I bought TRX and i get 50% profit aproximately then I sold it to buy btc to join the bullish market, now I already get 400% profit aproximately. My strategy is depend on timing, I don't do trading frequently. I am sorry but I don't like daily trading but I get enough profit by that way. Daily trading spend my time and energy and also has big risk. If you want steady income I think when you have enough capital then you can start minning.

small assets are indeed very suitable for trading in futures,
when you always get profit and start going to the spot market to invest to buy cheap altcoins, yes in my opinion that's the best strategy for now,
don't give up if you lose in the futures market, because from mistakes will make you smarter and stronger.

In my opinion investment always have upper hand on trading. If you are opting for both investment and trading then it should be 80/20 ratio. See the stats, traders mostly end up in loss while long term investors are always in profit. You need to study this to understand the phenomena.

Investment take more longer time than trade and your profit will worth higher than you trade, but I like and interested only with trading and try to earn profit every day without have to hold few week or month, I need money every day for my family and try how to get much profit as soon possible and always try to short term trading.

At the end it comes to that, do you need money now or you can wait. Investment can pay off better but it takes time and also trading is really hard to be good at.

I think even when spotting and investing in good coins one should always cash their profits because being virtually rich is easy but not useful. I have at times felt like I am a millionaire because the coins I bought were rising nicely and constantly but then a drop happened and all the plans and dreams shattered. A lot of investors who bought dogecoin at $0.002 might be thinking the same but if they aren't able to sell them within the bull run, they will feel the same.

Just invest in Bitcoin if you are considering buying for longer period, yeah it sounds stubborn and common but that's the truth and hence so commonly heard and suggested.

That is an excellent point because having regrets will make you greedy next time and being greedy will eventually only prove fatal.

Ever you try trade on pancake swap exchange? I think small assets is bet way to get much profit but always have bigger risk when buying coin on pancake exactly with new coin have ready listing. But I like with new coin on pancake because we can earn profit bigger just few hours after listing, with small amount maybe w can get more than 10x profit but ever have coin not have value any more or become scam on pancake swap exchange.

They have both their advantages depending to the person who do it.

In my experience as an investor, it's profitable but you need to control your emotion as you take profit or you cut loss.

Just as the traders, it's more of the emotion control and battle.

Trader want to get faster profit and investor want to get much profit although need waiting more than one year or more, depend how kind of some one with profit, but  I like with faster way because I need more income every time without waiting one year or two year. But if I have saving money better use for investing than trading by looking good coin to hold.

If you believed that it will really help you in the future since you are futuristic, I think it is a good decision of course.
But whatever happens every time we do trade in any of the exchange platform struggle and risk will never be gone instead,
it will always be a part to all traders who most often do trade in cryptocurrency anyway.
