Trading or investing ..does Trading pay more than investing

Depends on if you're good at trading or not. If not then no you can make a loss too and more people might make a loss than a gain unless you're doing some "proper" analysis of what you're doing.

Investing is essentially slow trading so I'd start with that and see how you do (eg pick an altcoin to put a small investment in and see how it does - then repeat if it profits).

Yeah, that's what I thought. IMO, since investing are likely slow trading then I think it is perfect for newcomers since they don't need to make an in-depth analysis of the market because you could have just bought some good tier coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum then hold it for a time, doesn't need that much experience. Unlike in trading which is kinda more complicated than investing because you need actually to make TA every time. It does need experience and knowledge as well otherwise all of your trade will be a mess. They can be both profitable but it always depend on how you will handle them.

Really depends.

I'm doing investing and it's more fruitful and effective to me. Not every trader is profitable. You don't like to put much effort, investing is for you. But if you like adventures on a daily basis with the market, trading is for you.

Know where you're good at and to me, investing is a comfort.

Investing:

• Mostly a slow increase in profit in a long-term timescale, assuming you picked the right assets to invest in
• You do your research, and you mostly leave the investment and simply wait
• You'll have a lot more time to do other things like start businesses

Trading:

• You could earn money a lot faster if you actually win your trades
• Depending on what kind of trading you're going to do, it's going to take a lot of time looking at charts
• You're mostly going to have a lot less time to do other things

There is no definitive answer, it depends on; 
What kind of trading? Many people lose, especially if you don't know how to do it properly.
What kind of investing?
What is the object?
What is the strategy?
How long it takes?
If buying bitcoin now and waiting for a year to sell it, do you call it trading or investing?
Most people will refer to the time frame, in the short term is called trading and the long term is investing, but it kinda the same. How about the profit? Trading might offer to maximize profit but only if you buy and sell at the right time, otherwise investing is the right choice.

Firstly remember for trading you need invest first after that trading is your choice. But invest is must needed. Now its your choice how much you want to do. Now i come to your point if you think you have to made more profit in short time plus you want to calculate your profit in month to month then you can enter in trading but if you do not want this then just invest and wait that much time that you feels you got your profit. But in trading you can generate profit everyday if you can trade like a winner. Remember nor a trader can win or profit everyday. Every successful daily trader trade very less time but spend a huge time a day to understand the market. So firstly you have to learn about both before taking suggestion about what you should do. First you should learn. I hope all expert also suggest the same thing.

There's a twist on that, because if you're investing you must trade in order to take your gains. So, trading in the same way can be appreciated only as investments when holdings an asset for long term. Daily trading got only an advantage by accumulating the quantity of your asset, or making a compounding asset that grows eventually using buy and sell strategy.

Investing is naturally you are just waiting for your preferred price to reach and then sell, you can make some money by then plus less risk.

But trading, I see a high risk in this but if you are good at this job, you can generate profit more than the amount of what you possibly get from just investing.

But we should consider our situation and credibility. Not all traders succeed is that because of patience, knowledge, and skill. If you have these things, then go for trading.

Trading can be considered as investment but it seems you do differentiate them basing on  time frame.
Investing = Long term
Trading = Short term

On the question on which one does have an advantage then it would depend on you.Making profits is the most common target between the two, if you are doing well with trading then stick to it
but if not then long term aspect would be for you.It does depend on someones capability or capacity on how you do deal with the market.
Advantage for some people because it is really better to see profits in shorter time frame but this wont really be an easy one.

I think the two of them are related, both from investing and trading. Because both also have to analyze in advance both in terms of fundamentals and prospects that can be obtained in the long term.

If asked to choose I would prefer to trade by doing long term, so this can also be said to be trading with investments.

They have similarity in the fields of the trading and investing because it will same holding the coins that they bough to the crypto market. Also they are going to earn profit and losing money that depends to the project that they choose to put their money.

I'm a investor and also a trader and I will suggest to everyone to this also because it is a really good combination way to earn fast or grow your money bigger don't stick to only some way of earning just try another and learning about it to know how to handle to all of that .

Trading pay more than investing as long as you are good in predicting the market. So many traders have been making the regular profit from their daily trades and I can earn around $100 everyday from my trading activities.
that depends on how good you are to taking the opportunity in the market. When you are very good in analyzing the trend and how to enter in the market at the correct time and you can earn profit everyday.
This will be a very stressful activities consider you must always watch the market anytime.

Learning how to trade takes a real long time, energy and lots of losses.
I would say Investing is the way to go if you are new to trading. 
Even though the BTC, ETH and other altcoins have exploded in price, there are many more gems out there in which you can put your risk money.

Trading takes more energy and time but could in turn gives you bigger profit if you could always get profit on your trade(which is kinda hard) on maybe consistent basis like daily or weekly meanwhile investing is like making your money work for you and you just get some profit without doing anything which also means lesser profit but in crypto considering how volatile it is, my statement above might become irrelevant, you can for example do a trade and get profit but sometimes lose then those bag holder could still make some good profit that exceeds yours despite doing nothing because crypto ROI has shown to be astronomically high, it all depends actually.

If you can win most of your trades, then yes. Investing is more of a long term plan for your money to create more money while reducing the risks of you losing it. It's basically the safer type of money makes money process. On the other hand, Trading is the riskier type BUT it can provide you with more profits. It's mostly short-term profits ofc, and you're basically going for high-risk high rewards type of gamble. Not to mention that most of your time would be invested in studying different charts and the like based on your investment. Basically, the bare minimum for trading is that you have time in your hands, and if not, then it'd probably be better to invest instead.

It is logical because you are liking it. What's logical to mw is by being both. Yes, if you can do both of it, that is much better.

I know investors and traders at the same time in real life. They invest in different assets while not forgetting their trades. It is a combination and profitable to those who can do both.

Depends on your knowledge since if you don't know about trading then go with investing but make sure to go on legit platforms, but expect to get a slow growth here since remember the legit ones give low returns and if somebody tell that they will give you a big return of investment then that is scam.

In trading you can earn depends on how knowledgeable you are in market flows so try to learn it now and don't waste your time to doubt.

Those are both profitable it depends on you how it works. In short term trading you can earn and set a daily quota but again don't trade that you cant afford. Recommend to use the Isolation trading, not in the cross (just a suggestion). An investment you need to have a lot of patience because it takes weeks... months.. to get your profit, but in my case, I prefer to do both not all the time we got lucky in trading still there is a chance you could earn and meet your daily expectation. If you are asking what coin, strategy, technique, time to make the trade I cannot answer you we have different ways to trade and earn.

It's better to use other people as inspiration but if you want to follow them there is nothing wrong with here but its better if you develop your own technique to earn a profit.

Trading is good choice if you have little nit knowledge of it.
Some time it give you 2x or even 4x. Its all about knowledge and experience.
Lack of experience can give big loss.

In my opinion yes but also there's a disadvantage about it. In trading you would be able to get profit from time to time or every hour if you are good enough to analyze the market but you could also lose if you are not good.

In investing you might be able to get profit but needed to wait for a long time and also there's no way to tell whether you would be able to gain profit in the future and lastly you might be able to missed some chance on earning if you don't do something about it.

Trading has the most advantage because as a trader you will not just be accumulating satoshis but also USD while you get busy analyzing the market. To me its really such a stressful job, it keeps you awake, and has to watch out for the news almost all the time. It's not pretty when the market goes against your position.  If you are just holding/investing you will only be seeing the value of your coins and just wait.

For me, I favor trading because we can always monitor the market performance thru trading analysis in which I usually applied the support and resistance scheme. ICO's today mostly are not successful anymore and a time wasting of waiting for their coins to be listed in exchange before we can trade them therefore I preferred the tokens that its already listed in the exchange as we can monitor them and do a trading environment.

Trading is more about calculation skills as well as momentum. whereas investment is more about how you can see an asset as an opportunity. In investing, analytical skills and vision are super needed. both are profitable depending on how suitable you are in trading or investing. and in my personal opinion trading requires more complex skills than investing

This the best answer although a cliché because we are different as a person. Personally, I would be on the investing side of things because I do not want to be on the computer 24/7 watching the market, I want to at the least do some other things that will help me make more money other than staring. Now, some will say that I can invest and trade at the same time but I do not feel like doing.

If you invest/trade the same item, trading will yield more profit. Because when investing, you cannot invest more than the money in your pocket. But in leverage trading, you can create orders up to 500x of your money. But is that that easy? Can you understand how risky this is? 500x will put you in a defeated situation in a short time. So you should start from your own experience for the answer you want.

The problem with trading is that you might lose all your capital within days because of a few bad decisions since most of the altcoins pump and dump and you might be trading them when a dump is about to happen.

Trade if you are good at:

1- Analyzing market and charts.
2- Good at using features like stop loss and take profit.
3- Have absolute control over your emotions.

Invest if you have:

1- Enough money to invest while not expecting quick returns.
2- Good at speculating long term projects.
3- Patience is must and ability to shrug off dips and bearish markets.

If you are a professional trader then it is more profitable compare to investing as the trader can easily take an advantage to whatever market we have, either we are in bull season or we are in bear market.

For investors, bear market is not an option for them to hold in short their profit will stop but it is their time to grab some stocks if they fully believe that the market will recover again but for trader especially the short term trader, they can still profit even in bear season as they can easily predict the right time to buy and right time to sell which is the big advantage of professional trader compare to investing.

Trading has a few advantages over investing but it also requires you to have a keen eye and sharp reflexes specially in the crypto market where the market can swing in any direction within moments.  Trading is better because you can earn recurring profits while in investing you have to wait long periods before you get the expected profits, but that said there are risks in trading if you are inexperienced while if you invest, all you have to do is to wait and believe in the product.

Both have their own advantages and drawbacks but personally I love trading and in times like now when the bull run is going on, you can easily make profits even when you are not so good at trading.

Trading pay more but you need more knowledge to be able to trade is not something you read on the news and jump into it, on the other hand investment profit is always very low but steady, the amount of lost is low compared to that of trading and it does not require any special skills, you see a project you study about it invest and stay hopeful. I prefer trading it's a big risk but worth it.

Trading seems more active than investing, but for me they are still the same because your profit will still depend on what you hold and on how you trade. Investing is also a trading, don't be confused with this one because its just a matter of time and you will sell your holdings. Investing can be short or long, but as long as you buy and sell, that's trading. Having the right knowledge can pay you more, so keep on learning.

Thinking up logically then its just really the same if you do look up on how things being done and as mentioned where investing does involved selling and buying which means you are simply doing trading.

When it comes to making money then it is a matter of time on when you would be selling up.It doesnt matter on when as long you do make profits or gains and that what matter most.

Advantage will be always talking on the positive side it doesnt matter on where you do get involved on as long you do benefit out then that what counts.

Trading was best option then investment.The profit of investment is based on the project.If the project is scam or bad,surely your investment will get into vein. But in trading,you can hold at the dump time and sell at the good time.Surely you get profit from it.You can learn trading by practice.

I can't be sure which is more profitable because I think if both are done in the right way then of course, it will give good results from both ways mentioned. Everyone will do something beneficial, especially for themselves first, so it's no wonder trading and investing are always done because these two methods are profitable if they are done correctly. So in this matter, I don't think it's about which one is more profitable, but what we have to realize is about what kind of way will make the trades and investments we make give good returns.

Isn't that without investing we cannot do trade? unless, your coin coming from the bounty rewards you participate in.
Then, once you do trade there is a high chance to everyone to earn a lot especially if you one of the good traders who knows
how to make trade in a proper way once you are involve inside the platform.

Investing could be a lot better, but we have to take a look at it on periods as well. On day trading you probably make money on a single day than a regular long term investor, but a long term investor could also make a bigger profit in the long term as well.

So, I believe the best case would be working towards a goal, if you have a goal, let's say 1 million dollars, and you want to make a profit enough to never work again, I think the quickest way to reach there would be trading but only if you are very good at it, I remember there was a guy who did futures and turned like 70k into 1 million just this year, so it is definitely a quicker way HOWEVER the best way that is guaranteed and not require skill or time or effort would be putting money in every single month. Get your salary at the first day of the month, put 10% on it to crypto, and do this for 10 years, you will retire 100% guaranteed (hopefully :D).

Its depend on the person.for example, most probably newbie can't do well in both of those sector but an exprience Person possibly can manage both of those feild perfectly.money making is possible from any of those but trading is quiet hard than investment.cause need to learn a lots of things & therefore people face loss.on the other hand, you can investment anywhere you want without knowing anything.but i suggest you to learn first, otherwise you there will bedilemma for you

The advantage whether you will have it on investing or trading depends on the certain individual depending on which field he excels more because some maybe good on investing alone and some are good trading alone or if you are that good, you can have both excel on those two fields mentioned. The result or outcome of whether you can gain more by doing investment or trading relies on your capacity as an individual if you find investing much easier compared to trading and the same thing applies on the other way around. Actually both are beneficial. You just have to find which of those suits you or better yet maybe both can be your advantage doing investing and trading all at the same time.

I think investing is more suitable for people who don't have free time and but want to earn an income. Because most investing to get long-term
income, so if we have extra money than deposited in the bank. It's better to invest in popular cryptocurrencies, definitely more profitable. While
the usual trading is buying and selling coins to be able to get profit from the difference in price between coins.

But people trading must always monitor the price movements of coins that have been purchased, so when it is profitable, it must be sold
immediately before the price drops. So trading is not necessarily more profitable than investing, so depending on the ability of each person.
But if we doing both is also very good, the most important thing is to be able to choose the right projects.

Well, for me it is because with trading, one can stop or get out while if we directly purchase/invest, it is just no way to get out. So, it is very much something we need to be very careful about and ensure we avoid making any errors, as it’s not kind of stuff where we can afford to do so. So therefore, I am always very much careful and work through plans with IronFX using their metatrader 4 (https://www.ironfx.com/en/platforms/metatrader-4-windows), it’s super and very comfortable in so many ways.

To the given statement the answer will be no.
Bur yes Proper and Calculated training can surely give you more profits than investing.
Investing can also yield you profits but it is a slower process comparatively.
Moreover Trading is also very much risky, as you can fall for both losses and profits.
At last choosing what will completely depends upon the user itself.
If i were to be asked then i will choose investing and sitting and watching the coins grow.

logical or not it depends on how we are. In my opinion, both of them are equally risky between loss and profit, if we are talking we have to be on time, otherwise we can lose, our investment is just waiting but the prediction must be right. so in essence, both of them can be beneficial as well as detrimental.

Trading can be profitable, if you have got required experience in this field. Not everyone can make money by trading.
On the other hand, investment means to put money into a bank to get interest. Mainly shareholders invest their money to get future interest. It's a long term process.
We can earn money easily and within short time by trading. But it takes a lot of time to get interest from investment. Trading can provide short-term wins but if we invest money it will provide us long-term wins. Investment and trading both of them are risky. But if someone is ready to take some risks to earn a lot of money then trading can be a good option for them. But trading is more riskier than investment. The price can go down within a minute. It's difficult to predict the price. But by taking small risks one can earn a lot also.
If you want to take time and earn slowly, investment is a better option for you. But if you are ready to take big risks and earn money quickly undoubtedly trading is best for you.

In trading, mostly you're active on what's happening in the market while watching your thrown coins to grow and earn profit from that. Preferrably calling that day trading
In investing, mostly people know it as hodling where you just live your daily lives while not looking at your coins then getting surprised that you got your coins grown.

Unless you have a good amount of money saved for living expenses, isn't trading a must?  I mean if you invest and hold... but don't have much money in your bank account, well youstill have to pay for expenses.

Relying on it would really be that only good or applicable if you do have other income on where you do pay up those expenses but if you do
just depend on the profits on the investment you had made then holding wont really give out anything and you would really need to trade
actively for the sake of possible profits in shorter duration or time.Its a must thing? No one forces you out to do so and if you do look that you
can take advantage of it then go ahead but be sure on taking risk management precautions because this isnt simple for somebody to engage on.

Less risk, more money. In the case of investing, you make a minimum of unnecessary movements that in the process deprive you of one or another part of the profit.
In trading, you need to be constantly active, and often the human factor is the main reason for lost deposits. In investing, the human factor is minimized.

Trading is more profitable than investing. Investing, your fund sits on just a project and wait for the price to rise above the price at which you invested before you can make a profit. Trading on the other hand keeps turning the fund over for profit making time in time out.

The issue of concern is just that trading is highly risky just as much as it is highly profitable.

Theoritically, trading can be lot profitable than investing because a trader can possible earn all the day when the open and close positions are perfect to the peak and bottom condition but it is impossible in the real world since no one can find the exact profitable open and closing positions.

It depends because if your trading strategy doesn't work very well; it is not more profitable than investing. Both investing and trading is a risk, but trading involves a higher chance of risk and a higher chance to get a good profit as the price increase and decrease in a short amount of time. While in investing, it takes a long period for you to be able to get high returns.

There is a higher risk in trading, because here you need skills and experience that is quite good. And you must always monitor the state of the market at all times. If your ability is good, why not you to trade. Because there will be more advantages.

In terms of investment, you don’t have to monitor the state of the market every day, so you’re more relaxed. You only have to sell when the price actually goes up and you’ve made the profit you’ve targeted. Or if you can afford it, doing both can make more profit.

This is exactly what people do not understand. It is not one right or wrong answer, it all depends on the person and the period. An investor that invests during a bear market and knows what is he is doing will profit a lot later on, a trader that trades during bull market would make a decent return if he is good, there are tons of other possible scenarios as well.

It all depends if you are a great trader or a horrible trader, if you are a great investor or a bad one, is it a bear market, or a bull market, are you trading/investing on the right coin or found a bad one... I can count many many more things, yet for some reason people think that it is one right or wrong answer. I personally like investing, it allows me to actually be a lot more relax, because trading requires a lot more knowledge and I am not really comfortable with being that much involved constantly.

I used both trading and investing. Both trading and investing have advantage and disadvantage, so you need to know that the risk will be behind on trading and investing. Trading can be good for making money in short, medium, and long term while investing will depend on the period time you want to cash out your investment. If you have knowledge for both trading and investing, you can use it so you can have more chances to make money.

Trading and investing are two different things in cryptocurrency. People do both for making some profit and so do you. In trading, you can make profit in a very short term if you good at this section. Also you can make long term profit by holding your assets.

In investing, it's a long process. I don't find anything which is very short term basis in this sector. So it is a long term process in muy thinking and I don't have any experience in this place. I often do trade.

each has advantages and disadvantages...
trading requires more time for us to be able to make a profit with market analysis and also pay attention to charts while investing does not require more time, you can make a profit from your investment by sitting back.

Of course, trading has its advantages over investing, therefore if I have to choose, I will choose trading over investing. By trading I can get profit
relatively quickly compared to investing, which investing takes a relatively long time in order to generate large profits. After all, I'm a person who
can't wait too long to make a profit, indeed sometimes if the market is bad it requires patience to be able to make profit from trading. But it will not
take too long compared to investing, I really like doing day trading with a target profit of 3% per day.

No, investing needs more time to get profit. Can't imagine holding for 2 years after buying Bitcoin at $20k and get the profit just these times. This gonna be a long wait for the holder and that traders can make recover and gain profit shortly if they are good at trading. 

Trading is riskier than investing but many had tried to take more risk for we know that there is more profit out there. But can't deny that this is not an easy job and it needs more time to develop our skills and knowledge in trading, you can't simply just jump into it without such preparation otherwise, you are throwing your money easily.

if you already understand the world of trading, it is better to enter the world of trading because you can earn daily income

That's one of the reason why trading is better than investing. people can earn regularly even when they are on a huge loss and they can recover it through continue to do the daily trade and get the profit. When someone investing in a crap coin and the price of this coin gets plunged so hard and it will be very difficult thing to recover.
It's a simple logic about how trade is better than invest.

But at least, he needs to learn or have skills in trading to make a profit or earn an income. It is not easy to have daily income from trading because skills are the important thing you should have. If he does not have much time to learn more about trading, investing will be a good choice for him to make money, but he needs to have the patience to hold his coins because the crypto market will not always grow every day. Trading and investing will be a good way to make money.

Why decide for one of them both?

For Instance, if you have 10k at hand, you want to invest/trade with. Why not invest some 7k in longterm investments, keep 2k cash in case you see some hot looking opportunity, and use another 1k for trading with lowest possible risk in the beginning.

That is how I started. Not with 10k, but with 70% / 20% /10% . The plan was to secure my money in the long shot, so even if I mess up in trading, my longterm investments should at least bring losses from trading to break even. Also, I do not only invest in BTCUSD (https://de.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/) but other resources (stocks as well, also some ETFs and stuff).

If you are aiming to grow your investment, trading is the best option for you. If you have good understnding and you are willing to take the risk, it will gives you the opportunities to double or more your initial capital, you just need to to be willing to work  hard in understanding every factors that affects your investment activities.

Just like what you have said, trading with little knowledge the chance is really decent to achieve your goals in much earlier time frame.

Even though in rare cases trading could be a better option for those 1% of traders that know the next move of the market whether it's based on TA or insider information and such, in most cases trading does not have any advantage over investing and it's actually the opposite.

Investing could give you far better results if you know how to do your own research about projects and find those who would be better performing, but for investing to be profitable it could take more of your time and you have to be willing to wait for a long time to be able to cash out with decent amount of profit.

Both trading and investing are profitable and there advantage are determine by the trend the market posed but investing required spending few time once you have knowledge about selecting the assest whilst trading required spending alot of time doing analysis, reading chart and comparing of previous market trend.
Having site that, you have to fully understand the one you are actually good and enjoy doing it.

When it comes to profit aspect or differences then to those people who do just make out some active trades or dealing  with volatility and taking profit in a shorter
time frame would always have the edge compared to those people who do just wait up for some bull run before they do make out some decision.

Trading does have advantage compared to simply hold or investing but to know that risk is much more higher than on this one and not all people can really give out such risk into their investment.

Thats why they do really decided off to hold even though they do know that theyre missing on making profits in short time.Well, its our money and its our decision to be followed.

the decision really depends on the user, how good he is in day trading. because if he knows the scalping strategy, he can earn more profits than just waiting and holding for certain time period. but of course, there's a risk involved in scalping. if you dont know what youre doing, one mistake and you will lose all your hard work. but i do agree, if youre good at this strategy, you can earn more profits than just holding. but it requires hard work on your part. so yeah, there's advantage of trading over just investing, that is, if you know what youre doing.

The potential to earn more is there at least but very few have the skill to actually do it, it is for this reason the best most people can do is to do their due diligence and make a fundamental analysis on whatever they want to invest and then if they like what they see to invest in it, this is why bitcoin is a popular investment because the longer you hold the bigger the profits as it is by far the best coin in this market, however that is neither the most profitable strategy or the most exciting one, trading offers a faster path to riches but also offers greater risk and if you are not careful most likely your money will end up in the pockets of someone else.

Both of strategy have an advantage and disadvantage, so you have to match depend on your style. As an example trading, when you choose trading as your strategy be sure that you are the person who can be able to make an analyst in a short period of time, like per days or per three day in a week. Because you have to make many entries to get profit, like day trader in one day you will make at least two entries.

The profit that you get is depend on your psychology, if you have a good psychology then you will get the maximum profit. But, when you choose as an investor, be sure you have a good analyst. Because your analyst will be run for long time. There will be many situation when the price crash after increase a lot and it will make you doubt between sell and keep hold. The investor will just focus on the long term pariod, no matter what will happen in the short term they should ignoring it.

Not all of us do trading because they consider the risk and their capabilities to do it. We can do investing but some also quit for they are impatient enough to wait for a better price to sell their coins instead of being affected by FUDs and do the panic selling where losses had come to them.
To ask which one has a profitable advantage? The answer is, what you want to do, trading or investing? because in reality, you need to work for it in order to generate income.

Without much thought the obvious answer would be yes but when you consider certain factors, you'll understand why investing is advocated by the early adopters to be practice by all. The now enthusiast rushing into becoming traders are only interested in making quick money and this cloud their judgment to make silly mistakes that cause them their capital.

With investing all you have to do is hold and nothing else but with trading you'll have to keep updated with the market, the news etc, to know what the possible outcome of the market will be so as to take precaution majors. Trading has it advantage when you have perfected the skills need and equiped with the right knowledge on outsmarting the market.

Trading comes in handing when you can short your position when the profits are in to take advantage of the dump to accumulate more coins with the same capital or lesser amount.

Unfortunately those rare traders who make a ton of money from trading because they are both very good at what they are doing plus they may get lucky as well sometimes, a lot of people think trading is the way to go. Of course if you are as good as those people you should trade instead, that would give you a lot of money, but the reality is that we are not looking at something like that in a lot of people who trade, they do not know what they are doing and they act emotionally and end up losing a lot of money, why do they do it?

Because, they think they could do the things veterans and experts can do while they are new, they study it for like a week and learn what it is all about and they end up with making something similar and lose all their money instead. That is why I always suggest for the first year everyone should be investor studying trading, or even stay just an investor forever.

Trading is an active income while investing is a passive one. You could only earn more in Trading if you're backed up with a lot of knowledge about it, it is risky, but the profits is really good. Investing is a safer way to secure your money, the profit is smaller than Trading but surely. So if you're a person who doesn't enough courage to risk to earn more and to learn, just invest your money in Bitcoin or Ethereum.

It’s not guaranteed that trading will always pay you.
Trading can also make you bankrupt.
Trading is like Gambling, so if you trade without proper knowledge then surely you will face losses.
On the other hand investment is a slow process, it will give you profit, but will take more time.
And to the answer of your question is yes, trading will pay you.

Trading is not completely like gambling. Because there are 2 types of trading that can be done at this time. Spot trading and futures trading. If you say trading like gambling may be more appropriate for futures trading, because futures trading is a derivative trading transaction that uses a margin trading system. You can only guess whether it will go down or go up and then you place a bet in the form of coins that you have. if your guess is wrong and gets liquidated, your coins will be lost. Unlike the spot, because trading with the spot is safer and you will still have coins.

Trading and investing have the same goal of earning profit. Trading is not easy to do because it requires some basic trading, while investing depends on the altcoin you choose and the funds you have. Everything has a risk, cryptocurrency is the highest risk.

With that principle you can continue to grow your money using your skills in finding good assets to invest for trading and an investment

for long term trading. compounding your investment is far better than choosing one of this two available opportunities, there are traders

who use both and they've got much better results in the long term process.

Ah, the eternal lie. That anyone, with the right training and experience, can be a "good trader". Just look at various statistics from research done on traders. That the vast majority of them LOSE money. And these are experienced people whose actual jobs it is to trade. Not to even mention all the retail couch traders thinking they're about to make a killing from their app while having dinner.

Where are your trades?

If you have a low risk tolerance and want to prevent volatility, the way to go will be to invest. But trading could be appealing if you're more of a risk taker and would like the opportunity to earn big returns quickly. It is essential to understand that trading and investing need not necessarily be mutually exclusive.

If you take trading like gambling then you are very prone to lose your money at a glance, this are 2 separate things, gambling is like taking a guess without knowing what you are doing or having a half knowledge but trading is a total different thing, if you are not knowledgeable don't go taking a guess with your money because you will lose them for sure.

Trading is very attractive for newbies precisely because of those reasons, trading can generate profits faster and it can generate more profits than investing as well so when newbies see this fact they are immediately drawn to trading, but what they do not understand is that trading is many times harder than investing and that only a selected few have the right knowledge and characteristics necessary to become good traders, and if newbies instead had chosen to become investors the potential profits will not be as high but they will have better chances of actually getting them.

Trading yield profits on short term basis while investment could take a long term before earning profits, meanwhile a skillful and experience trader will earn decent profits Week in week out although with some small losses however such a trader must equipped with a good trading strategy coupled with a high reward to risk ratio and proper money management thus will make enough profits which will outweigh profits earned on investment, however trading is highly risky compared to investment.

Trading and Investing both are somewhat similar because it is a profit and loss business so one who can make money or loss depends on the skills of the person who is trading or investing. You can make more money with trading but it is not possible to keep making that money consistently so you will make profits and losses in the next trades so if you round off it then you maybe didn't make any profits in total.

But being an investor gives you the advantage of having better control of your profit margin and also can achieve with enough patience.

You definitely can make more money but only if you are good at trading. Yes they are both similar in nature but in my observation, their difference is the time frame, investing requires a long term to get a bigger profit out of it while trading is on the short term with the aim to get as much even though the amount is small. The advantage of trading is you only need one good trade to upset every losses you have incurred so far but that is the only thing that I can think of, investing is still the best way to make some cash because it does not require a full attention unlike trading where you have to watch the market as much as possible.

That will not make him profit from trading instead of getting a loss because the trading needs skills to analyze to find a good time to enter the market and exit the market. The more knowledge you have, the more chances for you to get the right coin to trade and you will have the opportunity to make a profit. But do not forget that trading will not always follow what you want because the market will move to any price without notice.

Contrarily, you need only one bad trade to lose all the profits you made for the day/week that is why trading is risky as well as profitable.

You can make a good amount of profits with the investing on more of the times than your trades in reality because your trades will eat the profits you made and at the long run you will be with the same or little higher amount than your capital while being an investor there will be the certain percentage you will be having after few years.

Of course trading has more advantages than investing, therefore I prefer to trade in making profit from crypto. I love to do day trading,
so I can collect profit every day. What maybe we can't get from investing, because I think investing to make profit in the long term.
So investing requires patience, because usually a few years later you can feel a sizeable profit from investing. As for me who is not so patient,
won't be able to HODL for too long. So I prefer to make profit from trading, although I only get 2% profit every day. If I accumulate it in a month
it can generate a profit of 60%, this is very big in my opinion.

This is the truth. Trading hugely depends on luck and being a "good trader" honestly only a small factor in deciding whether we gonna make profit or not. Most of the  so called "trader & influencer" I've ever met from social media making money from referral and such. usually they also hide their losses cause their primary source of income is not from trading but from getting share of money the newbie they lured into trading deposited to some trading platform by using their referral which also means keeping their image clean about being trading guru.

Both of them are good and they both pay. I have seen people that got rich through both ways, so it’s not really about asking which one pays the most, you should only be considering what will work for you, because if it’s working for others doesn’t mean it’s going to work for you.

It’s just the like the price of Bitcoin dropping to 3000 dollars and let’s say a wise investor invests at that 3000 dollars and now that the finally got close to 50,000 dollars they have made more than 100% of their money, that’s a lot of that they have got, in my country that amount is worth millions. Then in the day case of a day trader who really don’t want to invest but always just trading and switch back to USD or USDT, they might see losses that will stop them from reaching the extent this investor have reached.

You can lose on one day in a trading and can't recover from it but with investing, you are not affected by the ups and downs of prices because the long term growth is evident if you look at the market, trading is pretty risky at first and you might not break even at some days and most wins are not that worth it, the 60% that you are saying is only possible if all the trades that you have done are all winning, it is difficult to get a winning streak when trading. That is my opinion about the advantages of investing over trading.

There's a little different on it, in investing you are holding a coin for a longer period of time maybe months or years, depending on the timeframe you are looking at and it all depends on the coin you are holding if it will pump in the future so there's a chance that it will not be profitable or it will be, in trading there are so many way scalping, arbitraging, spot and etc yes there will be a much more money in this sometimes, but if your coin in your investment is really worth it, you will get more in investment rather than trading.

When you just want to hold and play safe and you don't want to deal with the volatility then investment is a good option for you.

If you don't have the guts to make yourself become adaptive in the market then it is much better for you to hold until it is profitable enough for you.


But there are also people who become successful in trading because they grabbed the opportunity to trade as soon as they can and make their asset grow more.

At the end of the day, it is still your own decision on what are you going to prioritize to help yourself grow your money.

Trading is always risky throughout, not just at the beginning. As long as you have trades open, you don't realize any profit or loss, something very tricky and psychological happens to traders who have open trades.

Investment on the other hand can lose value, but you always have it. 1 BTC is always 1 BTC:)

I think neither trading or investing has an advantage over another; our biases about both trading and investment will be a reason to state that one has advantage over the other. If you are a good trader who earns alot from trading, you will say trading is better; if you are an investor, you will claim investing is better. to me, both are rewarding; and if you can perfect either of them, you will have lots of gains from crypto currency

None is better than the other. To be honest, both of these money making methods depends on the individual. I have seen  successful traders that failed as an investor and successful investors that didn't do well in their trading career. Both of these endeavors provide a god opportunity to make money but like I said, it depends on which one the individual can do.

Trading involves constant analysis of the market regarding it next movement while investing simply seeks to find promising assets to put more in and allow for an extended amount of time.

I don't think this is what I said, really, but yeah, I guess that's another way to look at it. Forums was awash with "good traders" in 2017 for example, people who actually thought they hit the secret for making profits consistently. Entirely disregarding that during that period, almost anything you did would have eventually netted you profits. Ignoring that right timing and luck had more to do with anything they made than skill.

These "pro" traders charging others for signals should be a lesson for logic. If you made money trading, you wouldn't need to make money selling your advice.

They both offer a good chance to wealth but, it all depends on approach to it, how well do you know it and what your willing to risk. It's a perspective thing as to which offers more. A trader would easily tell you trading is the best way to go while, an investor although trading could be seen as investing in a way but, let's disregard that. An investor would always tell you investing is the best way to go, starting with a little capital and earning huge in good projects within a given time frame.

Trading differs from investing, but from both we can make a profit. It’s just that the most striking differences lie in the  timeframe,  the  principles
and strategies are also different. It hides many opportunities for trading activities and crypto investments, but that should not be a reason to jump
into the crypto market quickly. Crypto trading can give you huge  earnings  in minutes, days, and even weeks, but you  can also lose everything in
seconds due to the volatility. So generally you can earn either from trading or investing, as long as you have mastered it.

Trading is better for me.

I know that investing also gives a good profit in time but trading gives more chances to earn a profit. For starters, I would recommend investing so they could also look at the price changes that are happening over time. If they can adjust and learn things about trading, they could start at low price and slowly increase the funds they are using.

But if all things go the good way for both trader and investor, you know a trader has better possibility of having greater profit. The daily trader in example making profit every time in trade is going to have far enough profit than just investing. Using bitcoin as example, it didn't rise since after 2017 so investors didn't have any profit but traders were going in for daily profit. So I believe traders can have bigger profit.

If you are looking for highest gain then trading is fit to you but it includes risk that you can lost all your balance or half of it for choosing a wrong currency to buy . other investment can give only small interest but it is secured compared go trading that you are actually gambling your money just for the reason that you want to gain more.

Being a good trader is not a small part of it, being a trader is a big part of it if you ask me, however luck is definitely a great deal in trading as well. If I had to give it a percentage, I would say 80-20 rule happens here as well, 80% is being a good trader and 20% is about being lucky, and 20% is not a bad one neither because you can be the best trader in the crypto world and still 20% depends on how lucky you can get.

This is why I believe it is quite obvious that we are not going to end up with a very good situation in a bad market that easily, or a very bad situation in a great market neither. Learning how to read charts, using indicators, having experience in trading for a long period of time, learning from your past mistakes all of these are very important that can't be calculated as small part of it, those are the most important parts of it.

Trading comes with acquiring a skill set. If you don't have the skills you're bound to makes loses. I know a lot of people will prefer investing to trading. It's easier than trading and gives one a deserved peace of mind. All one has to do is locate a token of choice and study it. Then buy and set an exit target over a period of time. I prefer trading to just investing alone. The adrenaline rush is sometimes good for the heart, you know  ;D. At least, it helps proper blood circulation literally.

That is the question at hand, do you think investing for long period of time which is usually profitable if you wait long enough is more profitable, or do you think day trading like the ones you listed is more profitable? Because in one of them you are definitely making money but low amount for years of waiting sometimes, on the other you can either make a lot of money daily or make no money or maybe even lose money, it's all depending on skill.

I believe if you are good at trading that is the way to go and you will make a lot of profit, however if you are not good at trading there is no need to risk it and you should just buy bitcoin and keep it aside and not look at it for years and you will come out profited after few years. Guaranteed profit over long period of time is much better to me than risky trading daily with a high reward potential if I am good at it.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, it remains how our characteristics are. Because each investor will also have different characteristics, there are those who want it in the medium term and some are using it in the long term. Both have different advantages but have the same meaning because it is also impossible for us to know when our finances will run low and are needed.

While what you say makes sense at the same time we cannot disregard that in fact there are differences between trading and investing, investing is a long term game and there are profits to be had and it is easier compared to trading, trading on the other hand is short term focused and there is more money to be made but it is harder, each person needs to look at those characteristics and then find out what suits his personally and appetite for risk in the best way, otherwise they will lose money if they make the wrong choice.

I believe it is obvious that trading could give you huge returns very quickly but you should also be aware that it could give you super quick results when losing as well, that is the problem that many people are forgetting. If you go into trading, the risk is higher and reward is higher, with investment risk is lower but reward is lower as well.

Let's say you have 1000 dollars and you want to either trade it or invest it, if you trade it, after one year you could have 50k or in a week it will be all gone, with investment you would have either 500 or 5000 dollars and that is the range, you will not have zero, you will not have 50k. That is the example I give to newer people, do you want to have all or nothing type of situation, or do you want to have some bitcoin for a very long time just in case bitcoin becomes huge and you want to be part of it and not miss out.

Investing is getting an passive income out of the capital spending. Trading is making an earning out of the difference between the buying and selling. This difference happens due to the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies. Users need to be very careful while trying to make profit in a short time period out of trading. The risk is high, and same as that is the profiting.

We should know ho to take advantage of this two, trading is good for some altcoins as their are sure not to really grow that much in a long term, while investing only few altcoins is able to make a decent increase in prices unlike in BTC investing and other top ats as long as the company is still active with new ideas and improvements plus proper adoption in today's trends.

I'll provide some light regarding this subject. I don't see anybody who covered this point so far:

Investing is putting your money to work now to achieve a better return later. It is mostly done on fundamental analysis and not on technical analyis, though you can refine your strategy with it.
- VERY IMPORTANT: When investing, you're doing it for the long-term so you avoid the risks associated with the random, sometimes chaotic short-term movements of the market.

When trading (swing trading, day-trading or scalping) you are aiming to make a profit from the volatility generated by the markets. eg. you speculate that the price will bounce from the $x level so you buy there.

Trading - Short/Long term
Investing - Long term

We can definitely make some advantage among the two and selection will vary on each person because we do have different targets
into our own money neither we do like to see profits in short term or would just totally hold them off for longer years.
Advantage is what we do talk about making profits neither of those two you do engage on.

To be fair, I don't fully understand what you exactly mean in investing. But since we talk about cryptocurrencies, I suggest you to combine both of them. Imagine, if you invested money in bitcoins 10 years ago, even with a tiny amount of money you would be a millionaire. Then imagine you decided to sell (i.e. trade) your currencies in 2017 and buy again when price was 3-4K, hold and sell again 1-2 weeks ago. It's very easy to say from past experience but no one knows what will happen in future, especially when it comes to cryptocurrencies.

If you do correct trading, then, without doubt, you will earn an insane amount of profit because the price almost changes up to 6% daily. But it's impossible to always do the right trades.

Trading works for those experienced ones that have understood the concepts of investing.

It's either you invest or trade as long as you're making profits from both of it or you're good with the other, stick with the plan on which you can make good profits.

You may not be a good investor but a good trader or vice versa or be good at the same time.  :)

The pay rate cannot be compared between both as they are different and have their own working and your profits are decided by your skills and your level of knowledge in the market.

Investment:
It is mainly of two types in the crypto market or stock market and investors prefer both of them according to their wish and needs but you need to understand the market behaviour first of fall if you want to survive in the market for long run

A)Short term investment: The investors who are willing to invest for period of say less than a year and cash out their returns prefer this type of investment and many user who have experience of the market and they monitor the regular growth of coin in which they have invested can handle such situations of risky and volatile crypto market.

B) Long term investment: The investors who are new to the market and don't want to get into trouble of market complexities and have no worries about time they can opt this investments as they are safe if you have invested in potential coins like BTC,ETH not the shitcoins available in the market then you will definitely get your returns on them.

Trading   
It is type of investment but under this you can buy coins and trade them on exchanges on daily basis or whichever suits you.You can have portfolio mixture of altcoins and you need to set a account with one of the legit centralized or decentralised or OTC excganges in the market and become a trader.You need to keep a sharp eye on the market fluctuations as they will have direct affect on your returns and monitor regular growth of your coins and sell whenever the prices are higher which is pay of you time and efforts.

SO ITS BASICALLY PROFIT IN THE END WHICH MATTERS FROM WHEREVER YOU CAN GET ACCORDING TO YOUR DECISIONS.

Each effective day by day merchant exchange extremely less time however invest a tremendous energy daily to comprehend the market. So first and foremost you need to find out about both prior to taking proposal about what you ought to do. First you ought to learn. The benefit of exchanging is you just need one great exchange to agitate each misfortune you have brought about so far yet that is the solitary thing that like exchanging where you need to watch the market however much as could be expected.

The same between trading and investing but have little different trading look with short term how can get much profit but investing maybe have the meaning like saving assets for long term, how ever both investing and trading very worth to increase money than only saving on the bank. But I like with trading because wanna get much profit soon without waiting long time and I am not believe with any coin become profitable at the future because depend how trusted owner.

When you do deal with the market actively then these kind of events are really just normal for you to encounter which you should really accept this since from the beginning about
the probabilities or the experience that you might able to  experience head-on because there are people whom do tend to go active or day trades without anticipating nor expecting
that they would really be having a hard time nor having that common scenario when it comes to losing trades. Trading does have and advantage but to think that plus is having
also some cons or negative if you havent able to dont it right.Well, theres no perfect situation to this but once you are knowledgeable or do know on what to do then
profits would always be seen in the end of the line.

In a short span of time, trading got the advantage as you can grow your money in much shorter period, as long as you have
the right knowledge and skills it's achievable.

WHile if you wanted to maximize your profits, investing might work for you, as you can just buy the asset and let it stay and
reached the value that you are targetting to hit.

Am not really good at trading so I will definitely say investment is better than trading just make sure you do your research first before investing in any coin. I can't just conclude that investing is better than trading just depending on what you are use to and what pays you, but I will definitely ask you people to invest in coins.

It is necessary to know that trading or investing is choice or priority. But contribute is must required, presently it’s your choice how much you need to do. Highlighting your matter you think you have got more benefit in brief time plus you want to calculate your benefit daily or monthly at that point you'll be able enter in trading but in case you are trading for long run you will meet good results as compare to daily or monthy.But in exchanging you'll be able produce benefit regular in the event that you'll exchange like a champ. Also never forget basic education is must before trading or investing.

the advantage of trading is you can mint more income if you are a person that values every minute of your time  but for a chill person that wants to earn in his leisure time ,

investing is the best however the income provided by this two activities can be interchangeable because of factors like coins , ability or knowledge to execute and capital , to name a few .

 we need to know if what side we are in and we can take advantage of the benefit that they have . for me , investing is what im getting busy with lately

Both investing and trading are profitable, each has advantages and disadvantages depending on the strategy we use. Even my advice is not
to choose between investing and trading, why not do both. Because sometimes there are some better coins for investment, because if you
invest in the long term the resulting profit can be very high. Then for trading it is very suitable for popular coins, because it can generate profit
every day. I used to do day trading with a profit of 2% per day using popular coins.

Trading and Investing, both are exceptionally famous cash acquiring strategies. Trading is generally founded on an organization connection(internet). Putting away your cash should be possible by either on the web or utilizing other speculation techniques.

I think that someone that has mastered the principles of the market can do whatever out of the two, at the end it is going to depend on their own preferences, there are some that like the adrenaline they get when they trade the markets and that is the option they are going to choose but there are others that just want to get more money while they are sleeping without doing much and for those people investing is by far the best choice as they can just buy bitcoin and forget it about it.

You mean trading or hodling? Of course trading is much profitable than just investing onto something and sell it when you see some potential profit. I mean trading coins/tokens with the simple rule (buy low sell high) is much better coz' you'll earn daily.

If you want to earn, you need to take those risks.

I know that the price of Bitcoin is having those times of great increases but I don't think we should always depend on it or take it for granted because you will never know how long will it lasts and when it will go up. You need to take those risks in order to get a profit, that is the reason why most of the people here would usually say that use the money you can afford to lose.

I go for trading, in cryto world there's a lot of cryto currency that can be use in trading. You can choose among the best coin that you think you can earn profit. Investing is very risky, you don't know when you can earn and no assurance that it will become successful.  Also it is long term base and your money is steady for how many years with no assurance of income or possible it will turn to nothing.

This two is different, trading is short term investing it means you can earn money easily. Between this two, trading is more assurance of income.

crypto trading has into volatility in which is essential to make the market so exciting. Rapid Intraday price movement can give a scope of freedoms to traders to go long and short yet also come with increased risk. In this way, if you choose to explore the cryptocurrency market, ensure that you have done your proper research.

Also, in trading, there's this cryptocurrency market hours, which you can avail to trade 24 hours every day.  
Cryptocurrency transactions occur straightforwardly between people on cryptocurrency exchanges everywhere in the world, for example, KuCoin.

I've gotten into trading over this exchange with these:ETH-BTC (https://trade.kucoin.com/ETH-BTC)  and XRP-BTC (https://trade.kucoin.com/XRP-BTC)

Some time trading position is better than investing when getting coin suddenly dump or pump, but with investing when reach much profit and we are updating always how price coins assets is better, because many investor not checking every time with their coin holding. maybe two or three years later open their wallet and looking coin keep higher price or not, I know investing will get much profit but when have chance for selling with good price better sell it first and keep buy back when down for investing again.

This depends on some factors, and these factors has to be in place. To some extent, what you can gain Trading in just a day, you might not make in 2 years investment. Because you need to calculate the annual percentage that the return on investment will bring. But in Trading your profit are limitless. Depending on how good you are in trading. And if care is not takiy you can lose all your Investments in just a single day. Let me share something that would interest you, when I wanted to start trading. I had to go for some Trading, consult some guru who knows more about trading than I am. Since I'm just a beginner try to learn how to make money on Trading different currencies.

I would say the things you have listed could be a good thing or could be a bad thing, it really doesn't matter if you could trade that quickly unless you are a good trader. For example, if a newbie who doesn't know how to trade yet, figures out the buy and sell buttons basically and comes in sees that there is a chance he could buy longs and make 10x profit in an hour would be capable losing all his money in few minutes, we have seen those kinds of people all the time, it is literally just few minutes and all of their money is gone and some of them even act like the business is a scam since they lost it all in few minutes because they do not know how the system works. That being said, at the ends of a great trader it could become one of the most elite weapons out there, but obviously you have to learn and study and practice to be that good.

Investing takes time or if we're lucky enough that the price of coin we buy suddenly increase, some people use trading as their job now, the advantage will still depend on when and what coins we buy and how we will be able to monitor it, both have their own advantages like if we invest only we are not required to feel the pressure whenever the price suddenly decrease, we will just wait and set our plan. While in trading the pressure is on since price volatility is really fast the advantage is that we were able to buy or sell fast whenever we're trading actively.

Trading and investing are just the same on general sense because you do put up money for you to earn money and of course it does need for you to take risk.

The differences are;
-Duration of profit taking
-Dealing with the market (active or passive)
-Emotional matters
-Active on investing (deposit and withdraw)
-Time spent in front of your computer or device.

These are the main ones its  up to someones preference on which one he does like.

There is no correct answer since the both are the same basement for building capital. Trading is short term activity while investing can take up to 50 years. The long term perspective is always better, so choose investing wisely than wasting your time in order to catch a profitable trades.


The mentioned factors are very important in the real-life trading world but there are some differences depending on the trader's preferences. The active and passive market movements are completely different, the market can behave weirdly for a long time. Maybe the trader will say this is the moment to enter but the market is not prepared well for this trend.

I choose both for a reason. I'd sometimes do trading depending on the situation while investing. But I'd like to say that if you are a full-time trader and really have the skills for this, believe me, or not, you can make more money than just purely doing investment. It is to accept that not all are doing well here because of different reasons and that also depends on our capability.

Each fruitful day by day merchant exchange extremely less time however invest an enormous energy daily to comprehend the market. So first and foremost you need to find out about both prior to taking proposal about what you ought to do. Exchanging a similar way can be valued uniquely as ventures when possessions a resource for long haul.

For depends on your experience since you can say it when you tried it, But for me depends on your skill in trading mostly i make a good profit in trading when the coins suddenly goes bump but when you invest it is like your just waiting for that coins for something to happens since you just put your money there and just waiting to make profit, while in trading you can definitely choose between those coins since there are so much coin to be invest your money too but it is all up to you just follow your guts.

it depends on what you are good at and know how to do. trading is very profitable for good traders thats why they dont bother to invest for long term. but from my own point of view, investing is good and also the best for newbies traders , you will learn to have enough patience and then learn how to trade also. investing and trading depends on your category of knowledge and patience.

The advantage of trading is that you can get profit quickly, because we know that if we trade short-term, profit is easier to get than investing. investment takes a long time and must get good things to make a profit

Well said. Skills are fundamental in trading. Being sharp witted in analyzing price movements and making decision is also good.
As per investment, it is usually ideal for long-term purposes, where waiting for price hikes is a priority to gain profit.
Either way, I think that these are both good but knowledge, skills, patience and the trend of the market should be considered.

I believe the only advantage trading has over investing is that you determine your profits unlike investing which is based on a fixed ROI
The amount of profit you make trading is dependent on how much you know about trading. If you're skilled trading, then the best option is to trade rather than give your money to some investors to help invest.
However, if you're not good trading, it is better not to trade at a loss. I'd advised that you invest the money. But the coins and hold till you can make profits.

It can be said that there is broad area to understand trading, since on the off chance that you're contributing you must exchange in arrange to require your gains. So, exchanging within the same way can be acknowledged as it were as speculations when property and resource for long term. Every day exchanging got as it were an advantage by collecting the amount of your resource, or making a compounding resource that develops in the long run utilizing purchase and offer procedure.

Profits will depend  on how you do actively deal up  with the market this isnt something that you can make out on a  steady or fixed profit when you do just simply hold and wait for the  price to  increase into that level.
Both does have advantages though but if  you do really  talk  about  profitability then nothing beats out with  trading.As  long you  do  know to deal with prices then it is always on the advantageous side.
You can earn more than on what you  do anticipate or expect but well this isnt something that everyone can do because trading was never an easy thing for you to deal off and this will be taking lots of
time and effort to be made before reaching out the situation on where you do make yourself sustainable or effective.Though, its up to you on which one suits you best
because you can only judge yourself basing off on  what youre currently doing.

It actually depends on what product/project you are going to invest in and you are going to trade in. Actually all cryptocurrencies in my opinion are good for trades specially big cryptocurrencies like  Bitcoin  (https://trade.kucoin.com/BTC-USDT) or  Ethereum  (https://trade.kucoin.com/ETH-BTC) as you know how volatile these two are nowadays and there are lot of altcoins too which will give you loads of earning when you do swing trades on it, the bigger the volatility is the higher return that it has.

However on investing, I think you should choose the cryptocurrencies which has a good background, long term goals and really good developments (roadmap and whitepaper included) on it as you will be letting and trusting your money on it for a long time on it. Bitcoin is the most common one when it comes to holding as its price starts to move for years and not weeks but nowadays we know how active it is right now which makes me trade it most of the time too.

I certainly agree on that.

If you have mastered or at least get to understand what lies with the both of it, you can do whatever path you want to take and you're better taking both of it. It's not that pressuring at all if you trade and invest at the same time.

In fact, you're taking the advantage because of the learning and experience that you'll take doing two. I'm one of those people that just want to take effortless investing than trade in pressure.  ;D

when you are trading you just don't want to be behind the scenes though, you wouldn't want to be just an spectator in the battle between the bulls and the bears. When you want to win something, you find the opportunity yourself like spreading a fud yourself. the guys who keep influencing the price is going to dump, they are not just there to give you an idea whether to sell or buy, some of them are just trying to influence traders. if you are a trader you are part of the game.

Trading is not for all since not everyone can adopt the risk on the market, there are people can easily been hype and also there are others who are lazy to learn things in trading's since they just rely on the signal given. That's why on the other hand investing is somehow can be good if the investors knows on where he can place his money with minimal risk.

You need skills to succeed in both.

Trading is more rewarding, but it's 'active'. You have to follow news, indicators, and so on daily.

On the other hand, investing is more passive after the initial due diligence where to put the money. I prefer dividend-paying stocks.

It is important to choose whatever fits you not only in therm of profits but also in terms of who you are, some people never think about this but what you do must fit your personality or you are never going to be as good at that activity than the rest, trading is so hard already even if it is an activity that fits you that the work ethic that you will need to make it work when it does not fit you is simply off the charts, if you know that you are too emotional when you trade then that is a good moment to reevaluate if trading is really for you and try to become an investor instead.

It requires more patience in investing, you will not hold it for weeks or months, sometimes it takes years before you may sell it, there's no guarantee that your coin may be pump not unless it has a good team, solid papers and plans if they do it will be a good for future holding and will give you so much money than holding it for a short period of time only. Trading is also risky but if you really want to earn in a faster way try to trade those top coins but be careful not to be left out, make sure you read the news before buying something.

Trading really has an advantage over investing. Trading is short-term so you can earn on a daily or weekly basis when you're already at profit, unlike when investing there is uncertainty if you will get your expected profit in the future. If your income is not that big then an emergency happens, long-term investing is not good especially if the price is lower than the price when you invested. You will be forced to sell it at loss. Trading is better for me if your income is not that big, the profit from it can provide you extra income.

It depends what investment you are going to dig in and the same with what you are going to trade! both are good but it depends on how good you are on both... You can do invest but make sure that its something that will not fall in time but IMO trading is better, giving you fast profit unlike with investing

I do have the same insights too when it comes to compare trading and investing. Trading and investing both has a risk to take but knowing that by trading you did it daily which also means that you are dealing with emotional aspects, dealing with the market actively and time spent each day. However, by investment you are expecting for a fix ROI and of course it would take time for you to find out if your capital did expand or not, in short it is a long term investment.

Many people have to choose to invest is because they can manage to hold either long-term or short-term goals. They can just be sitting all day. Unlike if we are in trading, you should have to stress your life doing it everyday, reading on the chart, making analysis because that is very important and that makes them trading works.

Questioning about which one is better? You are probably asking yourself as well if what a thing can make you feel comfortable either stressing yourself or just waiting when the market pump?

Well, honestly trading and investing shouldn't be compared cus this are two different thing and different skills as well, some peopleare very good with trading and they tend to make alot of money through it, some other people who are not really good at trading finds themselves very good at investing, and they always know how to chose the right project to invest in there by making alot of money also, so whether trading is good over investing or investing pays more over trading, depends on which an individual is good at.

Depend with trader it self how to manage with profit but for trading is faster way to earn much profit and investing need waiting for long time although get more profitable than trading, but if some one have much money and hold for long time so investing is the best way for them but for me keep trading is the best solution right now, just want to earn profit every day or every time is better than have waiting for long time.

If you know how to play within the markets then trading is a quick buck for you but if you're more of a long term guy then investing is the way to go. IMHO anything other than bitcoin is for trading. Buying bitcoin (https://trade.kucoin.com/BTC-USDT) is for investing in the long run.

Actually people often separate trading and investing but I have always seen both the aspects together because investing and divesting are the two most crucial aspects of trading since the best time to buy is investing and the best time to sell is divesting.

One who has the skill and sharpness when to buy should invest and one who has both the skills of when to buy and when to sell should always go for trading because like even you mentioned, trading has more frequent profits while investing yields huge profits but require more time and patience which are only possible if you have enough financial stability.

What makes you feel comfortable and how you react to market crashing because as an investor the biggest problem people face is how to keep cool during the bearish runs. Its easy to hold and invest when the market is moving up but people sweat and panic when the market crashes. If you have the ability to remain cool and composed during market crashes but at the same time know that its only temporary because holding some coins for too long during crash might be equally foolish.

I am a trader and I never tried to invest for too long since I need that money to rotate and generate more profits. People like the Michael J. Saylor can invest because they have big capital but not everyone has that much money so that is why there are more traders than long term investors in the market.

If you have the right knowledge about trading, then of course it is possible to do something good from trading.Because, in any business, it is not right to make a decision without good knowledge or experience.However, investing is required for trading.Now if you want to make a profit in a short time, you can trade, but you may not make a profit from trading every day because not all days are the same for traders,other hand if you want to make a profit by waiting a long time, I think it makes sense to invest.I think all the veterans will give you the same advice.

This highly depends on your skill and experience as a trader.

Remember that in investing, people would usually purchase BTCs and let it sit either for short or long-term depending on its price on the market. On the other hand, trading involves a more technical and complex approach as you are playing with the market. I read an article before that 97% of the short-term traders lose money on the first month of trading, so you better be careful which approach you should focus on.

Personally, since I do not have that time, experience, and skill to trade, I would prefer to purchase and invest btcs and to HODL them for the time being.

I think it is ideal for newcomers since they don't have to make a top to bottom investigation of the market since you might have recently gotten some great level coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum at that point hold it for a period, needn't bother with that much experience. Recollect nor a broker can win or benefit regular. Each effective every day broker exchange less time however invest an enormous energy daily to comprehend the market.

Like always things are not so simple, trading offers you flexibility and the potential for more profits, but the keyword here is potential, trading does not mean you will get those profits, anyone that has actually tried to trade the markets knows it is easier to become and investor than a trader and if you do not happen to have the skills necessary instead of earning money with trading you are going to lose it, and if you do not have a stop loss strategy you are going to be destroyed by the market before you even realize it.

Skills and right attitude, trading is a difficult place if you are just a beginner, you need to study every fundamentals and every information that wil drive you to a much safer side.

If you are aiming to grow your money in a much shorter time, trading is the best choice but everything around trading is a risk that you needed to take, unlike investing where you just buy and wait trading needs to have more access to the exchange in order to monitor whatt's the movement of your assets in order to take advanatage each time you see growth with your asset's value.

There is really too much pressure in trading, but if were into it no matter how stressful it can be we will be able to find some relieve when where able to managed to earn in that trade. I guess it will be depend on our skills, time and how we will be able to handle ourselves in managing and monitoring our trades, we can play cool or be in too much pressure , all will depend on our personality just always know what coin totrade with since some projects are not really worth trading for.

That's one of the trouble with trading, it often offers more risk compared to investing. Most investments are usually on a long term base and as such, one can invest and easily be unaware or just choose to be unconscious as regards monitoring it for a long time mean while, the short time associated with trading always comes with a greater amount of risk that requires periodic monitoring. It would be way much a lot of work for a lot of persons to be analyzing a variable over and over again for changes and how to make the most benefits from it though, trading offers speedy growth for an experienced trader than investing.

Yes and no! I would say it depends on you, your time and skill if trading would be a better alternative over investment. Not to mention the particular markets you're in.
Generally, though, trading can generate higher returns that long-term investments which just sit there. So, if you're active you could try trading for yourself and compare it directly to your investments. Only that way you will be able to get a closer picture of your reality.

Trading is more beneficial than investing for the obvious reason if the trader has time to watch the market movements. The market trend is the best friend of the traders, investors apply this logic to their investment decisions and make money with long term investing goals. For traders, it is more complex and hard but the reward is higher than investing. The average profit rate of trading is higher than the average profit rate of investing, IMHO.

Because long term investment is just kinda playing safe to the owner, the risk could be bitcoin will become to zero value which is very impossible that it will happen. But as they said, the higher risk that you want, this is also a high p[profit that could your I guess will earn.

If you have knowledge and skills in trading you can do it yourself and have that price at a lower value. The advantage of trading is a short term of getting profit but it has a high risk.

We cannot trade if we don't invest of course, unless if the coins you have is coming from the bounty campaign you participate if ever you join any of them. But if not, then you are oblige to invest or buy in the platform exchange an altcoins depending in your choice if it has a potential to increase in the future.

In my opinion, trading is less profitable than investing.  

The shorter the timeframe, the more difficult it is to predict the change in the asset price.  Many traders are guided by technical analysis.  However, the theory of technical analysis is well known and the trader has no competitive advantage.  

Both the trader and the investor pay commissions to the cryptocurrency exchange. However, a trader spends more money on paying commissions than an investor, since he makes many more trades.  

Moreover, the more transactions he makes, the more likely it is to make mistakes and incur losses.

Both could be profitable depending on our skills and the coins that we're investing or trading with. As for me, we could do both at the same time but we should have enough knowledge on how to deal with the market so we'll never have regrets in the future. It's your choice because if you want to gain a profit in just a short period of time then trading would be the best for you.

We can really have both if you do know on what you are doing but of course it would really be needing more capital for this one.Investing is for long term and
trading is for short term and you are right that this will really be needing skills and experience for you to do both things in more efficient way.

Both does have advantage and disadvantages to each other but why would really need to chose if we can have both and make most money on it.
Sounds easy but it wont really be that simple.

I want to tell you that if you want you can buy and sell coins and you can make good profit. You can make good income but if you want you must invest in good amount and then you can do good trading. I want to tell you that you can make good amount of income.  Depending on your investment will depend on how much you can earn by trading

You know, this is a very difficult question, because when trading, you need to apply different strategies based on the volatility in the market, but investing always pays off, because if you go long, you can get an excellent profit from a coin in about a year.

Well both were exactly profitable but the main concern here is where areas do you really good at. Both were profitable but they only differ on what approach you can exertly good at because i doubt that onr person can be both good to perform the two. However, wherever which one of the two you are good at, both are also need a capital which you are needed to start whether you're going to trade or to invest.

Yes, especially when you are using some trading algorithms that will make your trading easier. I make a huge profit from trading using  Mudrex  (http://bit.ly/mudrexbt) algo trading. It will help you trade on many exchanges at the same time. But I guess it still depends on you. You can choose either trading or investing as long as you are comfortable with it.

Newbies for the most part only care about the profits that they can get but what they do not see is how the difficulty level increases in order to get those profits, when it comes to investing at most you are going to move your coins once or twice but if you are going to be a trader you are going to move your coins and make transactions way more frequently than that, now you have to pay fees to the exchange, now you have to pay transaction costs and many people never say anything about this but you need to pay your taxes too and that very quickly eats up any profits that you may have.

What is the best investment platform for BTC? Someone tell me please. I want to trade some BTC.

yes, definitely trading alt coins can earn you by yourself its risky but you make your own choice to trade unlike investing that you wait for it when ico's or project may success you can benefit from it. either of the two will do as long as you gain income and not losing money.  if you both do trading and investing it will be good also.

That depends on the type of personality of the trader, many people are oriented or have their way of thinking focused on investment, because they only like to follow up on their investment and wait for the time it is necessary until benefits, on the other hand the trading It is more stressful, you have to study all the movements and win with them.

Some study only technical analysis, other fundamental analyzes, and both fail, the best thing is to make a merger of both to try to be successful, others apply theories, I think the more you study and you learn more success will be in trading.

If you have much saving money is most advantage over investing your money in potential coin than you save and hold money on the bank, inflation value and not increase any more with your money value from first time saving until you cash out all, but with over investing one months later your can get double your money value depend how your coin growing up.

Actually investing or trading are both profitable, but the problem is, does someone have enough time and ability? because if one does not have much time and does not understand analysis then investing is better than trading, and vice versa if one has a lot of time and is knowledgeable about trading analysis, then trading can be a good choice.

Having enough time, ability and knowledge to analyze the market possible trend is still incomplete as crypto trading and investment is a concern if the capital is not enough to trade or invest successfully.

Both trading and investing have advantages and disadvantages and have risks as well. If you want to trade, you need to be very skilled in looking at the charts, patterns, candlesticks, trend lines, etc., before you can say that trading has the edge. If you are profiting most of the time in cryptocurrency trading, then good for you.

As for investment, you are gonna call yourself as a long-term thinker no matter what would be its price in both short, mid and long-term. 

Capital matters.

But I disagree that having those qualities is incomplete. By having those, if you're skilled enough and has a lot of time, you can grow with the little that you have depending how you're going to do it.

In investing, it does really requires time but if you're going to trade it, that time would be essential because you'll be active most of the time.

Completely depends on you and your habit/behavior. For some people trading is more better than investing and for others, it's exactly the opposite. Trading will most likely give you some quick profit in short period of time. The better you are at trading, the more profit you will be making. But with those high profit comes high risk. Make one mistake, you will likely end up making a huge loss. On other hand, investing/holding is more like something passive. Something that you don't have to worry about. You invest, sit back and relax. When you reach your profit goal, you are done. It's less riskier when compared to trading!

Actually it is depending on your skills that in which sector you are good enough. Trading is also one kind of investment. If you have enough knowledge and experience in trading then go for trading. I hope you will be benefited more than investment.

- Investing is betting more on the long-term future of the project, rather than looking at the short-term, this method makes us forced to passively when we don't have much problem-solving skills, we can only wait and if you say risk is less than trading, I don't think it is correct, too passive in a job is not a good thing, the financial markets always have a lot of problems that need us to participate directly. The general habit of newbies will probably choose between trading and investing while an experienced person knows they need to learn more in both jobs

Depending on skill and how can manage profit day by day, many trader could not manage how to get profit by panic buying when getting coin look like on higher price, they make mistake with buying coin have raise higher price. So if you not have any skill better with investing only could be weekly or monthly because any coin can pump 10x from lower price.

Both are good. For getting more payments you need much skill and knowledge about coin. This is totally depends upon you. For investment you need to choose potential coin and wait long time to get more profit. In trading you need to do it daily. Choose good exchanger and research about potential coin. Acquiring knowledge and earn money.

If you are asking about day trading v long term investing then obviously long term investment is best. The key to long term holding is your buying price. Buy at dip and HODL. Imagine a HODLer buying btc when it was 3k and selling it at 60k.

trading or investing? it really depends on the coin you want to invest (hold) and trade. also, it will depend on the period of your investment and trading activity. but let say you are talking about bitcoin.

someone that buys the coin and then does buy-low-sell-high properly to accumulate more coin will be the winner in this situation. as long as you can guarantee that you can always accumulate your holding by trading, then trading might be a good choice. but if you can't guarantee it, then why waste your time and energy on trading? doing nothing is more profitable right now.

We do know the differences this is why some people do really decide on going for long term holds specially if they dont really know on how to deal with moving price actively.
Some would be thinking on playing safe instead on trading actively but there are people who would really gamble out for testing it out if neither it works or not on their part.
For those who do end up on being profitable are the ones who had really able to do all sorts of things needed.This isnt something that someone can attain.
Yes, its risky but it is way more worthy when it comes to profit talks its up to someone on how far he could really accept on.

There is no way to answer this question.  It depends on your personality, your psychology, your capital, …

With a good strategy and hard work you can make a decent amount from day trading.  But if the quick charting and decision-making is too stressful for you, you could try position trading.

Surely, when you do your homework, check on the instrument you want to invest in and make good decisions, you can also earn a good amount of money from investing.

You question is like is it better to be Richard Dennis or Warren Buffet ☺. Both are legends in their field, both were extremely successful in their field. Both are fucking rich.

Well, as they said --the higher odds the better return.
Trading was a higher risk than investing, therefore I consider trading will make faster to gain profit than investing which is you will wait a perfect time of selling to have your profit. You cant sell your investment under the price where you purchase. While trading, for example, a day trading if you are good at this you will earn perhaps 5-10% to your initial capital but if --you can manage the risk.
If you want to play safe, investing is the best for you, and wait for the perfect time of selling your investment.

That is the easiest logic to understand what holding is. But not all of us have the same patience and tolerance through the market. It is that we are very visionary to the future of the market.

But, as said, not all of us have the same vision as we look to the market.

On many occasions Warren Buffet recommends that we can make an investment when we have studied the action that is safest and that can give benefits over the years. Of course, here he inspires those who only see the market as an investment and who are able to wait as long as it takes to take profits.

If a person is watching the market all day and can predict its movement, regardless of whether it is down or up, he can be a market speculator, trade as he wishes, whether in the short, medium or long term.

Radically people talk about investment without knowing that they must wait a long time to get profits, some become millionaires, in this market the safe action is bitcoin, there is a lot of risk when it comes to another cryptocurrency, also if we add that most of the time only there is talk of Bitcoin, and that the alts are many, the most reliable is Bitcoin. there for investment and if there is market speculator wood you can trade with alts.

Trading will only be having an advantage over investment when you’re making more profit than what you’ve invested in the market which I know very well is not true for like 90% of the people here, who are losing way more than their actual investment.What’s the purpose of trading and investment if not just to be making profit? So, when you’re not making that profit you’re not getting any advantage at all.

Advantage is in trading for those who are trading daily and making profit. Then as for some people investment is usually the better option because when they invest and hold those assets, after a month or a time longer than that, they will make profit. What makes trading better is because it is something you do daily, so if you’re getting it right, then it’s a better option than an investment.

Investment is not something that’s going to reward you daily like trading, you have to hold for sometime before anything comes out of it. So these two things are totally different in their own ways, just go for the one that will work for you and that is the advantage of it.

I believe there are advantages to trading over investing. The fact is that by trading you can earn many times a day and it does not matter where the price goes up or down. And in investing, you bet, for example, on the fact that the asset will grow, but it may, on the contrary, fall. At the same time, when you invest, you need a lot of time to make a profit, and when trading, you can earn immediately if you see a profitable opportunity. I have already tried trading cryptocurrency and it is really more profitable than investing, although it will take more time.

well, it seems that trading is just basically a term they should also invest in, Buy and hold the same principle as investment. I will point out that cryptocurrency trading leads more to investment.

Market speculators have more vision to the market.

They can have different scenarios playing on their minds if ever they'll enter to the market in a specific period of time and prices. They're likely to make profit from that action and decision that they'll do.

Well, it is relative, the market speculators are aware of every movement of the market, they can win in any direction, if the price goes down they win by going down and if they go up too, but it is only when they manage to hunt the movements, they often make mistakes, sometimes they trust each other and they also have losses, which is normal.

In the readings of the textbook by Jesse Livermore he said that no matter in which direction the market goes, the important thing is to follow the line of least resistance, if you go there you will always win, sometimes not only the degree of knowledge helps, many times intuition can make you win and sometimes good luck plays a role. What differentiates between a speculator and a market investor is that the investor only follows up and can wait as long as necessary to obtain benefits, whereas the market speculator has a life with more stress in the market, if it is medium and long term you can have some peace of mind but for those who trade "Scalping" mode it is something else, it is much more difficult to predict the movements, however knowing the market movements and doing a good technical analysis it is likely that good ones will be achieved results, but it's still pure adrenaline.

Yes.

Mistakes are inevitable but they can minimize them based on their experience and strategy that they're going to do.

IMO, that requires a lot of effort which I think I won't do and would just choose investing over trading.

In principle, there is nothing to add to what has already been ordered in this thread. I can only advise you to check everything empirically. But, try doing two different checks.
Open the charts 5 years ago and imagine that you bought a certain cryptocurrency, calculate the profit. Second, make a paper account, one investment, the second trading, and try both in practice, without losing a cent.

Nice way of making out some comparison on your own if you dont really believe on others words or feedbacks then you can always make your own step and verify if its
true or not.

Honestly, i do consider trading as an investment but it do only differs on the duration and the risk you are putting with the market.They might have difference
but on general sense they are just the same.

As long it could give out the chances or opportunities for you to make money then that what really counts.

Trading consists of patience but the term is decided by us but in investing, it is decided by the person or company you invest on. In trading, a trader is a boss of his own where in an investment, your investment will be. In trading, decision is ours and daily returns are possible whether profit or loss while in investments, decision is made by the person/company and whatever the outcome is, we need to take it as it is.

Yups, depending on yourself, you can trade, so do it.

If it is said that trading pays more than investment, I don't think so. Indeed, you can earn in a matter of days by trading. However, trading is usually done by experienced people. If you are still in the learning stage, I think you need to be careful if you want to start trading right away. Because, it is not easy when you lose some of your assets, and you don't know how to return them. This will be very detrimental to you. You have to be steady in understanding the current market volatility, through charts, or through the live market (news), because you are risking your assets in a very short period of time.

In contrast to investing, you put or hold your assets, wait for the market price to rise while monitoring the market volatility, and set a stop loss to guard against big losses. The bigger your investment, the more risky it is. However, if it's in a currency that promises me a sense of security - just be safe. My advice, do not invest your assets or shares in just one investment instrument. Because this can help if you run the risk of one of your investments. You will not lose everything because it is divided into several types of investments.

yes

But don't expect a lot from just simply earning many times.
It is small in portions because volatility of the market doesn't go more than 2x of your capital.
And not everybody is a fan of looking all day at TAs, Bollinger Band, RSI and and sorts of indicator you can think of.
Not my cup of tea at the least.

By doing trade in the actual exchange site platform, there is a big chances for us to earn a lot in cryptocurrency. Although there is of course risk if we do this. But if you are confident because you are full of idea and knowledge about in trading I think there's nothing to about it. While on investing there is a big risk for this because your not sure if the investment scheme your gonna enter it will succeed in the end.

If we have full time to anlysis the market is better doing trading, because by doing it we can do compounding interest , so will be more faster the gain high reward than just investing for afew years.

Trading pays you income while investing  gives you wealth. How do I mean let's say a trader who has   0.5btc if he decides to trade he would be making reasonable  profits if his analysis  goes in the direction  of the trade and if it doesn't he would record some losses and still get the value for the current price of his coin. But for an investor with same capital he only holds his coin patiently waiting  for a rise in price and makes good profit without any loss except if the coin experience  a drop in price.

For me a trader makes profit in both ways since he trades with an exchange he profits both as a trader and an investor

They are both found to be risky and it all becomes profitable if we are lucky enough. The only thing I can see that trading has the advantage over trading is that you can make money in a shorter time and even during the bear season which it makes hard when you are just holding it. And were right, losses have also close when you are trading as the disadvantage.
Well, patience could be applied both but holding needed it more. You can't hold longer times if you don't have this...makes some investors sold their coins, not in a good price.

Trading is rewarding in a short term to medium term period.  When you trade profitably , you may be tempted not to invest for long term period. The interesting thing about investing with a mindset of holding long term is that, the result of profitability seriously outweigh whatever may be gotten in a short to medium term!

If we're investing we should also know that the price might go down and up. I don't prefer investing when the price is at the top even it's for long-term. I suggest they wait for the big dip and market correction before investing. You can buy cheaper price and you can have more tokens if you wait for the right time to buy. Trading on the other hand requires knowledge, the right positioning, and the use of indicators and fundamental analysis is one of the major factors to consider if you're a swing trade. You can get more profit in trading if you have a lot of experience about it. I guarantee that if you're not fully prepared and if you can't control your emotion, it will mess up your trading plans.

Well, actually you are right, it is all depends on what people expertise in. If can analyze, it is better to pick trading because it can really help and not waste what that trader's skill. Although investing (holding in my mind) need analysis too because we can't only buy any coins carelessly and hold without know it's fundamental.

We seem to be a bit biased in our method of comparison as to if trading is better than investing. From what I've seen so far, majority of the concerns is filocused on the marginal gain or profit from the two being considered mean while, there is another way to look at it. That is, using the risk element as a factor.

Definitely, they both come with some amount of risk and depending on the type of investment one might come with a greater amount of risk than the other. Here we are talking about cryptos and so, we would base our discussions as such. Which offers more risk than the other and then, if its to note, the greater risk comes greater reward.

For me, trading comes with greater risk and as such, its got greater reward but that, doesn't make it safe.
Incesting in the other hand comes with moderate risk and the rewards ratio varies a lot mean while, it could be relatively safe.

- In the opportunity will be the risk, that is what we can know about the full time option for a trader, we can compare the number of traders who can win and the traders who are lamenting the big crashes, there seems to be very few sane people, full time with no extra harvest, that just sows pressure. Investing is not a quick solution for speed, it is a way to challenge and fight psychologically with the market, ignore the market's thinking, sometimes the harvest will be better than normal trading.

For me, Trading is more profitable for short term, but investing for long term is also good and with higher return if your investment is good. Actually, it depends on what you want and depends on your knowledge and capital. Trading is more risky but if you are knowledgeable in trading then it will give you a good return. Well, if you have enough capital, you can invest for long term while doing trade.

I agree, both sides have their advantages but if you do have enough money to invest splitting between or allocating funds for both long and short-term is the best action to take.

You can split between day trading and long-term investing, it's  a matter of how good your knowledge within this venue of investment.

For those who have skills, they can see every opportunities. Buying low and hold it for long-term or it's also possible to rinse just the
same, buy low then sell when the value rises up, collecting decent amount of profits to add for your initial investment.

Okay so people keep saying holding is more important and things like its better because if you hold, you pay less in taxes because of long term capital gains.


However, what if the crypto or stock increases like 50% or even double in a few days time or weeks time etc?  Yea so you are paying a lot in taxes if you trade... but if you wait for a year or longer, now you could have no gains or just 5% gain.  Whereas you trade for a few days and make 50%... sure you pay a lot in short term capital gains... but if after a year, the gain is only 5%, well you made more trading than holding. 


Thoughts on this for trading whether crypto or stocks?

Of course it would be sensible to you on making out investment when you do still have money to spare on doing so because diversifying into several businesses could really give out advantage over into those people who don't have make out any steps.

It is just a matter of on how you do divide out your time and resources and how you do well on dividing up your time to make it more efficient.

Of course it wont really be success from time to time but you wont really able to know if you wont try and not all would really means success.

Trading is more profitable than investing just like buying and selling of goods, making profits or loses every time transactions are made.  Trading gives daily returns without waiting for long duration of time or waiting for centuries for profit to be made.
Both trading and investing has their own affiliated risks that are involved in the market.

Cryptocurrency markets are very risky now because of increasing crypto in daily basis. Trading and investing both are different scenario in market. As my experience investing will be always going to give big profits then trading. Trading is also good but for a very experienced traders. In investing if your fortune is right then you can make a history in your family financially. In trading I don't think you going to secure you life by anyway. As an expert you can do both and in any market trading and investing both will make you happy all time.

It is very difficult, because you have to take into account the skills that the person has as a trader, when talking about fortune, the best thing for me is investment, but in this case with so much market uncertainty, it is best to diversify in other markets or in Real Estate, of course, the investment is superior as long as the money that is destined does not have to be used for any eventuality, and that you have to wait as long as necessary until you obtain a profit.

The good investor has patience, in crypto most stages such as accumulation usually last around 3 to 4 years, currently I think that the accumulation stage is over, and that we are experiencing the bullisu trend stage, of course one cannot rule out re-accumulation, but it's all a matter of waiting. In general terms for me, if you have enough money, the investment is much better, in the case of BTC the HODL.

choosing to invest long term and trading short term can give us an advantage. Of course, short-term trading can give us short-term profits, but this is for those who already have experience in short-term trading. For beginners, of course, long-term investments will be better, while learning to trade short-term

It's easy to tell that if you both have the skills on how to be profitable whether you are investing in the short term or long term, just compare to see the result. However, IMO, the short term always gives more profit provided you are good in short-term trading as that would easily make you grow your capital.

Remember that the market does not sleep, so you can trade 24/7 and you'll grow your money in time.

I think most of us here are short term traders, that's the reason why the market remains volatile.

You can never say that unless if you are lucky enough that every day the market gives you a favor. Maybe you are right in saying that trading is more profitable but you can't deny also the risk inside which is the reason why many people who try trading went losing their money after.
I won't argue with you which one is profitable because all the results will depend on individuals decisions and market strategy.

I agree with your claim but that's the thrill of trading, you never know if your trade is going to make you money or not also a bad trade will only happen if you are stupid enough to trade without any knowledge about the coin that you are trading or you didn't do any analysis. Investong is still a good way to go though because it's much safer than trading in every aspect.

Yes this definitely needs to be understood by every newbie who shows interest in cryptos.
Trading is like risking your money on something unpredictable.
But yes trading can give you quick cash oftenly.
Trading can dominate Investing, as trading gives profit on regular basis.
Where as investing is very slow process and it will give profit in later part of time.
Hope you get this mow OP.

Trading can be an exciting way to win fast cash. Be that as it may, like with betting, it can moreover rapidly lead to huge misfortunes. Contributing, as a rule, implies littler short-term wins, but moreover less serious misfortunes. On the off chance that you're comfortable with the dangers, exchanging with a parcel of your cash can be agreeable and might lead to benefits.

I think there is no advantage on trading and investing because they are both risky and sometimes profitable. The profit that you can get on trading or investing is always depend on how you do it by yourself with your own strategy with the help of your knowledge or experience on both trading and investing.

I think that one can be advantageous over the other according to the person’s forte and skills as well. If you are knowledgeable in trading and is not fond of waiting for the “time”, then trading is an advantage. But if you are someone who takes all the time as necessary and doesn’t have capacity to do trading, investment is more of an advantage. But either of the two, risk is an accompanied aspect.

Trading is riskier than investing, the only does trading have is we can make a profit every day if we are too lucky but that also we might lose if the market gives no favour to us. While investing it is just like you are sitting on the chair waiting for the next rally and then sell.
However, if we get wrong in choosing coins, it is our absolute loss as well.

It is either we go trading or choose to invest, it still needs to invest time in the market for additional knowledge and also to be aware.

right, both trading and investing have their respective consequences. trading is more fun for me, because I have a lot of time to be in front of the market, so every day if we are lucky we can withdraw profits, because I aspire to be able to live from trading later, and I consider trading the same as any other job

There are lots of people who engage with short-term trades, traders who loves shorting the market.  Seeing that the opportunities is better when you place your entry in the right position.

With this volatile nature most big whales loves to play with this  market, making it as easy target for short-term manipulations to earn really quick.

Assess your capabilities and never to play without proper knowledge it will save you a lot both time and money.

Hmmm. Both are ways to earn profit so basically there is an advantage on each one. All profit generating activities has always a risk since it's not job with a regular wage. There's a lot of different elements on how you will earn profit and how much but as you stated, Strategy plays a big role for that. The advantage of trading was you can earn for a short period of time while investing is for long run. On the other hand, The advantage of investing was you can earn in the future while leaving your investment and continue the job you are doing.

Indeed both has risk and profitable but this depends on our plan and strategy. Some people are earning huge on trading because they take time learning on how it works to execute a good result. It is also an advantage if you know how to make a TA because thats how you can predict the next move to do for the coins that you're planning to buy or sell.

On the other side investing is less stressful (atleast for me) because you're not often monitoring the market and has a plan on when to take profit base on the market's situation. Thus it depends on which is more profitable for us thats why it would be better to have an experience on trading and investing to know whats best that suits us.

Yes trading has some extra benifit than investing. Well invest has one option to generate profit which we have to hold until the price up and we reached our goal but trading has some extra features like we can generate profit by trading not only that we can also generate profit no matter market gose up or down.  Trading has this best option no matter what is market condition? By trading we can generate profit. Plus there has some trading options like margin trading, futures trading which is risky but profitable. Its my opinion others can be different. Thank you.

So how's your day trading going? I guess you're making a lot from it. Although the definition of being lucky is commonly used in gambling, there are also traders that have been also telling and asking the same thing.

You're not lucky if you're withdrawing daily. That means that you're good with your trades and that reflects your analysis and decision making as you trade.

The definition of the word lucky is not only in gambling but daily trading is also always there even if we are right in the token that we are watching, maybe almost every day we get profit from it to be withdrawn and I think it takes a lot of consistency to do it.

Daily trading is not easy even though we are on the monitor screen every day to see the market and analyze which token is better and this trade requires a quick trick in my view so it requires strong energy in daily thinking.

Yes.

It's also used for almost everything that we do and that's why someone has to be called lucky if good things have been happening to them. And that's why I've said that you're not lucky if you've been experiencing it.

That only shows how good you are.

I believe investing and trading both have their pros and cons. One of the pros of investing is that it is less risky than trading. It however means that you'd put your money in some investment scheme and be contented to get some profits, the ROI, usually small.
The major con of trading is that it is quite risky and one would need to understand trading and risk management very well before one can trade successfully.  However, once you are good at trading, you can trade and make money at your own pace. You determine your profits.

I think trading is a struggle with my own emotions, and sometimes you are particularly optimistic about a variety of altcoins. You are not willing to sell when Bitcoin is falling sharply, hoping that this coin can counter the market sentiment.

I once read such a sentence in a book, but I don’t remember it clearly. It basically means: Don’t have any feelings (positive and negative) for a stock or token, just use the Tehnical analysis and news. It is enough to judge whether to buy or sell.

Trading requires more self-awareness and judgment, which requires in-depth research and analysis. The transaction is short-term, it may make you profit immediately, or it may make you lose money. The risk of trading is relatively large, so market analysis must be done before trading.
Investment is long-term, it mainly depends on seizing opportunities and defeating the market's attitude towards oneself. Withstood the test of patience, investors will obtain greater profits in the long-term holding.

There are advantages to trading over investing but it is usually up to the individual to decide which one is more proficient. If you have good knowledge about trading then it is possible to earn every day by trading a long term investment is good for investment the risk is much less here if the price goes up after holding the specified time it will be able to make much profit. Trading requires daily market analysis and trading is very convenient if you can follow the trading signals and strategies.

Investment is also a kind of transaction, but it needs to wait for a long time. After investing, you need to find the right opportunity to trade when the benefits are maximized. A transaction is to gain or lose in a short period of time, and market analysis must be done before the transaction.
If you want to make short-term profits and have sufficient judgment, you can choose to trade. If you can’t analyze the market in depth, you need to study slowly and you can choose to invest.

In my experience, friends who do not have much experience should choose the way of investment. There is no need for frequent trading operations every day, but buying and selling in a cycle (one month or three months). At the same time, set your own stop loss rate (20%) and take profit rate.
I have switched from trading to investing, and my account has turned from loss to profit.It’s a growing process, it’s too painful.

Trading requires skills and there is a learning curve that you have to get over. If you ask a trader who has made more money from trading, he is likely to support trading than investing. I don't see any particular advantage trading has over investing. Investing is easier to do and you don't need to learn. You can just put your money in an forget about it ROI waiting time can be longer. It's personal choice as to what you prefer.

You can mitigate the risk when you know what you're doing when you are trading or if you are still gaining knowledge regarding trading. The risk will always be a problem for a trader if they don't address the elephant in the room which is the lack of knowledge.

Both are an advantage in their own right. Trading enables you to make profit on short-terms positions and long-term positions and it is super profitable during bull markets. Investing on the other hand, gives you a nice diversification, a long-term prospect to earn from your capital being put to work and it is less hands-on.

It's all a matter of spreading risk, and maximising rewards, and to me exposure to both is the best of both worlds.

The advantage of trading over investing are
1. low risk of getting scammed by new token
2. easy assess to your coin and the worth
3. It prevent loss of asset due to swapping
4. It allow you to learn more about various tokens (It is just like sport gamblers  ;D they know a lot of countries)

Disadvantages
1. Trading involve technical knowledge of trading tools, trading terms, graph and data analysis
2. It is time consuming
3. Risk of loss in case of exchange hacks (Cryptopia is still fresh in my memory lost a few coin)

the drawback of trading in my opinion is that we must have skills in trading. this is something that not everyone can do, maybe we can make money every day, but time, energy, and mind have to work every day to analyze the market, unlike investing where we have a lot of free time to do other things

trading skill is an obligation for every traders, if we dont have it dont call our self as traders but gamblers. Every one opened transaction without analizing market or price should lose their money when their position wrong and potentially loss all money. IF we could trading for live like an expert we have more time for faimily, earning money could be done everywhere and anytime.

- This market is a cruel boss who likes to drain the minds and abilities of his employees and expose them to more difficult problems, just a few days of sideways with short support and resistance points, overtime will be more, a result of the overuse of energy will lead to loss of sanity in the following days, profits can be good but living in such a tight and breathless environment, I can't guarantee trading will be better. Invest in a more spacious workspace, the income may be low but the balance will help us renew our energy every day and increase our persistence with the market.

Trading here in cryptocurrency is good but full of risk though you can able to earn a lot here depending in your skills
of understanding. Maybe out of 100% I think 60% of the traders here got loss most of the time when they do trade
in any of the exchange site platform. Meaning, it is certainly have an advantage over investing.

^ They are both profitable but in a different way, trading is profitable in a short gains period and it is high risk compared in investing but high risk means the high potential of making money in a short period of time. So in investing, you need more time for your money to grow and you need to acquire patience while waiting for your investment that will grow. The advantage of trading will probably the short time gains because if you want to make money and have a short-time gain, trading is the best for you than investing.

I dont know how trading is not good... unless you have enough money to live off your expenses.

Yes,but investing is a slow process and another thing if you are not good at trading then you might get some loss and if you are good at trading then it will give you profit, it depends on you. I prefer you to start from small invest and get small profit at the first.

I think they both have the same for and loss ratio. where if you choose to trade, the level of risk is higher and the opportunity to get a higher profit is also if you invest and vice versa. because in every trade or investment there must be a risk of loss.
I think long-term investment is better but it comes back to each of us and the money we have.

Trading can be a exciting way to win speedy cash. In any case, like with betting, it can moreover rapidly lead to enormous misfortunes. Contributing more often than not implies littler short-term wins, but moreover less extreme misfortunes. On the off chance that you're comfortable with the dangers, exchanging with a parcel of your cash can be pleasant and seem lead to benefits.

Actually trading and investment depends on how an individual takes. But I think trading is far better than investment . I already invested several altcoins but I am guessing that trading is more benificial than investment.

maybe it will apply to some people, but many of us who experience failure in trading, because trading is not as easy as we think. so that many people prefer to invest, which will sell it when the bullrun occurs. or those who are already good at trading also invest, for the safety of their funds

The both pays very but it all depends on the individual, investing can be very easy and does not require much knowledge or efforts to be profitable, just know the basics of purchasing then your good to go, but trading is a different thing all together, in trading if you aren't knowledgeable enough you would end loosing all you got. So this is just the difference, trading isn't like investment where you can just jump in at any point, strategy and analysis is needed.

Right, everyone tend to fall into trading seeing others gaining profits. Many do end up giving up loosing. The reason behind is, unaware of on what they are investing. Many do not deeply analyze the coin or follow updates on the coin they have invested. The winner here is those who constantly update themselves with what is going around the coin they have invested and those who knows and follow trends movements.

Its depend upon you, if you are doing good trading then it will give you profit and if you are not good at all then you will get losses.

Everything has its own good and bad sides. But what I understand about trading is the fact that the more profit you make while trading, the more volatile it gets to losing.

While investment on the other hand, comes with such a long term before you can reap on what you sow. That's less volatile with tenderness.

It's left for you to decide on which side you think and know it best suits you.

Really depends on what suits you because not all would really be having the same preference when it comes to their investment neither they do like to see profits in short term or long term.
At least we do have choices to make and you could also do both if you wanted to as long you do know on what you are doing then its a good thing or an advantage but expect
that these things wont really be easy but you wont really able to find out if you wouldnt  try it on the first place.So its your choice since its your money to use.
Try to sustain yourself in the market and this is the main thing that you should really able to achieve.

I think that everything lies in the style of each person, many have the disposition to be aware of the movements of BTC or alts, some develop the ability to predict in which direction the market is going, that is where you begin to see that it has a good profile for trading, which does not mind following the price if it falls because it can bet low and win, also in a bullish sense to do so without taking into account emotions or feelings.

For investment it is different because it has a lot to do with having more patience and knowing how to wait if the price rises, without falling into despair and without taking out the money before it does not move.

Of course this is just one way of looking at it, to deepen it is better to follow the corresponding books when a type of profession has been established if it is investment or market speculator.

Indeed. Both pays but it all depends on what suits you. If your good in trading then go for it and also if your good in investing then also tries for it. If your not good in all or you don't have any strategies or techniques to do the trading and investing then expect that you will lose huge amount of your possible profit. Trading can be a thrilling way to earn quick cash and of course it can also quickly lead to big losses. Investing usually means smaller short-term wins, but also fewer severe losses. If you're comfortable with the risks, trading with a portion of your money can be enjoyable and could lead to profits.

Both are actually lucrative and rewarding but I would prefer trading over investing since trading pays me immediately while investing takes longer period. Although I choosed to engage in both so I don't feel left out on any of them since both could give fully rewarding. Investors depend on traders to know how long to hold on to a coin or token so traders are really valid in the business

What a lame answer bro?
He asked a basic question and it not at all satisfy the answer.
Instead it can be made understandable easily.
Trading means playing with your money, it has a disadvantage of getting loss.
Where’s investing is not looking to the funds for certain time and yield profit at last.

Yes I agree, both really have an advantage because both earn profits. But, both also need to take risk for you to get the profit you wanted but it will indeed depends on your strategy and plans. Maybe investing is less stressful than trading since investing don't need to monitor the market and has a plan on when to take the profit base on the market situation. Trading can be a thrilling way to earn quick cash. Investing usually means smaller short-term wins, but also fewer severe losses. If you're comfortable with the risks, trading with a portion of your money can be enjoyable and could lead to profits.

I think both trading and investing serve different purposes.  For those who may be looking at future value which could be substantial,  they should put aside a lumpsome for investment into the future they want.  Day to day trading however is for short term to medium income,  and I believe people live on this type of income!

Both have their respective advantages. And excellence is highly dependent on analysis and skills. In Investing, the profit we get is slower, while trading depends on skill and technicality in opening trades. If the trader is already a professional, they profit faster by trading. Both are equally profitable which distinguishes fast and slow in obtaining profits.

There is a point that you say that I do not share at all, and that is that investors do not depend on traders, traders do not really move the market much, those that move the market are Strong Hands, Institutions and emotions.

Looking at it from a more general point of view when we enter the world of BTC and CRYPTO, the rules are different from those of any market, because some speculative markets do not have so much volatility and the crypto market its biggest King is BTC, without the BTC simply altcoins would not exist, because there is no altcoin that has a life of its own. These are just some of the things that every investor should know and that the accumulation period is much shorter than the Stok Market, which is a great advantage.

yep i agree with you mate, both have respective advantages, although they're almost the same but how people can easily makes profits from it is the only thing that makes them different, there is a short term investment but not the same with trading because every day you can get massive returns from it especially if you're very knowledgeable how it really works,unlike investment that you need to wait for weeks and without doing anything you can get profits wherein you don't need to study the market very hard like what traders doing.

Off course it pays more than trading but depending on the some factors, your trading strategies matters a lot, how you can take entry in some coin to buy and want to invest in that coin? How you can get the right time for selling the coin and take out your profit on the right time? So all these factors matters a lot on investing and trading.

Trading can sort you out very quickly financially wise, investing however makes you illiquid!. You can be stuck with your investment for months if not years if you intend to make something impressive out of it! If you trade successfully, you are likely going to be more successful in your trading career as tend to know what works and what doesn't!

Actually trading is really just like investing but on the sense that trading still end up on holding then this is where things becomes different but making a move on very active manner would typically
talks about trading which it could really give out the   chance on seeing profits on a shorter duration or scale unlike when you are just holding up and this is where choices would be done
because we do have our own preferences whether we do like to hold or we do like to trade actively then its our choice.Its up to you on what things you could
able to handle out and each person does have its own capability or level of capacity.

it depends on how we manage it. if we can do trading correctly then it will also make a profit faster. trading and investing are different things where if you want to make a profit faster then you can choose trading. but remember, in trading we must be able to choose coins that are really good and have the potential to rise in the near future so that we can make a profit. besides that we also have to look at the crypto market more often so that we know when to sell the assets we have because the principle of trading itself is buy and sell, while investing is buy and hold.

Well I have been seeing that there are many advantages today, especially with NFT game trading, with pre-sales and public sales, whoever knows about short-term trading makes a lot of money, especially those who know scalping, anyway currently coins are coming out that are lucky enough to increase quickly, there is a coin called Solana, which is giving a lot to talk about, there is also currently a coin called shiba, which is also a meme, but it is taking a lot of community, this is an investment to long term but you can also trade with it.

the two are clearly different, if you want to profit quickly then choose trading because investments take longer to hold. but it also depends on how we manage and use it so that we can get the profit from trading or investment. the profit that gained from trading can indeed be faster, it's just that if you trade then it means we have to focus more or have to monitor the crypto market more often. whereas if we invest we can be more relaxed and wait for time because investment takes longer to hold until the price really goes up.

It all depends on the type that each individual is interested in doing,some people may fancy trading,while some may prefer investment,so I will go inline with the one I do,which is investment.
I see that trading is very quick,it requires your steady attention,because it doesn't waste time,all that you need to do is to study the chart,know when to buy,and when not to buy.But in investment,you just need to look at the potential of the project and invest in,and patiently wait till it yields result.The both are different from each other,and their preferences differs from one person to another,depending on the one you do.

I think if you know how to trade, then of course trading is better than investing. After all, when investing, this is frozen money and you can wait for months or even years for your profit and in the trade every day real money, and if you know how to trade, then it is not small.

Trading and investing is both in a form of gambling, but with different approach. And it depends on the user's field of expertise and interest. Yes, trading does make you more money if you are indeed great in that field but if it's not, then investing is your option.

Traders are usally get more profits from daily to weekly trades but it comes with a high to extreme level of risk if you can't manage it well. And it requires certain focus to study the market and to be able to foresee what will probably happen along the road in order to avoid losses.
Investing depends on one's capability to commit something either long-term or short-term investments. Investing also can give you competitive returns but you'll have to wait depending what is your profit goal, also investing doesn't require much focus because it's a long-term commitment meaning you won't have to do anything unless your goal is achieved and it's the best option because it's a low risk.

So, in my opinion, trading will give you more advantage than investing and can make you more profit if it handled good.

In my own opinion, trading has an advantage if you win and get profits most of the time. However for me, it’s much more riskier than being an investor or long-term holder. You can win small amounts everyday for doing day trading, but it really depends on how skilled you are in looking at the charts, learning techniques, etc. However, it’s just that you’re spending more time in that than other things that can give you quality life. Again it’s just my opinion.

Investment is all about holding. Buying a coin and then holding it for a long period of time, while Trading is short term. Although trading is more profitable than Investment, but it is highly risky and also involves enough time and focus. In day trading, you can possibly be making profits everyday, and that's one of the advantages it had over investment. However, Investment have low risk and low stress. Nevertheless, the similar thing between a trader and an investor is that they are all chasing profits.

The best amongst the two is determined by your time consideration and tolerance. It's an individual analogy, most trader's make more profit than the Investors and vice versa.

While investing is a long term goal that has to do with purchasing assets you thinking would likely rise in value in the future, Trading is short termed since it has to do with studying the market to purchase assets and sell them off within a short period of time....
Trading is more like a get_rich_quick approach and it requires more attention than investing.

I don't really see trading having any edge or advantage over investment because while trading is immediate,investment has to do with the future,and if our future is not well secured,a successful life is of doubt.
Investment has to do with patience and endurance which will yield a greater profit when it will.It is very obvious that trading is very risky which is the reason I averted it,but in investment,the risk involved is not really high.

Trading can make quick profits in a short period of time. However, when trading, it is necessary to continuously analyze and formulate trading strategies based on market changes to avoid losses.
It takes more time to invest. It is necessary to invest money and choose to hold for a long time when the currency price rises to get a good profit.

More over in cryptocurrency market, investing is much more important to secure our future because trading in cryptocurrecy the risk is overly high because a coins could drops more than 50% in a minutes when it has a bad news and takes years to recover or even some coins won't back to it's all time high anymore after the crash.
So the risk management and money allocating is really important, make sure more than 70% goes to investing and it's okay to use the rest for trading.

Yes, the final trading solution is hold. Sometimes our mentality is not ready for trading, trading and investing have their respective advantages. it is easier for a trader if his mind is ready to deal with market dynamics while trading. However, investing in the long term is also easier if we have sufficient finances to meet daily needs. It all depends on how much we have when we get into crypto.

Yeah and trading have the risks too compared to investing. Quick profits yet also have quick losses. Its all up to your trading preferences. If you have the guts for the risk, then you can do day trading. But if you are just like me, who doesn't want risks but certainties then go in investing for long term.

If you have enough knowledge about the market, charts, and Technical Analysis, then trading can give you more profit than investment. Because Investment took time to give high profit. And this also depend on the coin in which you are investing.

Why would need to choose if you could have both? Invest while you are doing active trading.So its up to you on how to handle both situations because you could really take advantage when it comes on

making money which isnt really limited on one source which is actually good and you could really take advantage if you do know on how to do both as long your money or financial permits you because

having both does require capital of course but if you are only just limited on one then i would choose up investing if you arent really that too technical or does like lots of work.

If you want to make quick money and you have the trading skill then go fully into trading particularly future trading in terms of crypto currency and if you don't have the skills for trading and you don't want risk much then go into long term investment like buy and hold but you have to be a patient investor since the return on investment may take longer than necessary.

Both trading and investment have their own advantages, depending on which method you are more suitable for and more profitable.
Some altcoin prices change relatively quickly, and short-term transactions can be conducted based on analysis of market conditions. A cryptocurrency with a long development time such as Bitcoin and Ethereum is more suitable for long-term investment. Holding it for a long time and gaining a lot of profits when the price rises.

How are you sure whether Bitcoin and Ethereum will continue to increase in market value that you are advising to keep holding for a long time period. Is it that they are meant to be growing in value continually? The only thing I see which can make Bitcoin price to be growing is that limited in supply and there should be adoption on a larger scale.

If indeed we can manage it well then both are will certainly profitable. It is known that trading is not easy thing, trading requires less time than investment, besides trading also requires mature thoughts and also we must more often monitor the Crypto market. If we trade well, of course we will get a profit faster. but need to remember again it all depends on how we trade itself, whether it can do it well or even suffer losses.

Trading is a quick way to make money but just like gambling, it can lead to huge loses, you'll need to pay absolutely attention to the market more than it is required of an investor. It is a process of holding for a short term. I wouldn't say trading pays off better rather would I say investment pays off too, it solely depends on the individual involved and the market structure at the time the purchase is made. If you want to make more cash at a short period and you're able to study the charts accurately,then go for trading if not, go for investment.

Trading has an advantage over investing at a limit. Because trading gives more chances to rise your money. But at the same time, you can also get losses also. But this is said "No risk no gain".The person who knows to take risks is always successful in life.
But it is also a fact that investor also gets good profit on some time. Especially when the market rises the investor & and stalker earn good money. In reality, This also depends on the luck that you will earn or lose through trading or investing.

Both are profitable but investing is passive while trading is active and you need to be more cautious and careful in trading because you rely your profit on your decisions although, both of them need extra care. Once you did the wrong decision of investing in a certain altcoin, you're going to regret it that you've thrown money on it and that's also the same with trading.

I agree that taking profits in trading is faster than investing. We even can earn a profit every day if we do a day-trade. Regarding the possibility of losses, seems not really so different with investment. We need sufficient skills in trading to avoid losses. We also need to monitor crypto market regularly, and probably more than when we are investing. Well, trading requires us to be more active than investing because we set a short-term goal in trading.

Both trading and investing, in my opinion, are fraught with dangers. However, one thing is certain,  you will profit in the subject in which you are an expert. Experience and knowledge are really important. When opposed to investing, there are more risks associated with trading. Because the value fluctuates regularly. Both are beneficial, but there are hazards associated with both trading and investing.

In general, trading, of course, has its own characteristics, but everyone chooses a more suitable option for themselves - investing or trading.

Both can provide good benefits, but you need to understand the difference. Trading is more about trying to compete with every other traders, most of the time it's been performed in a daily/short-term process. If you know how everything works, you can compensate your investment to your chosen percentage in each time to execute your trade.

In investing, you need to understand the deeper part of any asset that you aim to participate, knowing everything will guide you
either you will go for long-term investment or you will just ride with the quick hypes and sell everything inside your wallet.

We do choose on where are are comfortable with which means choices will really vary into each person and some do even do both things like me on which i could handle out on trading and at the same time i do make out some investments too.

As long you could able to bare or handle the risk then it wouldnt matter because this is where we do really test out those risk for the benefit on making profits but of course it will depend on how you do make well of those options.

Also it does need some sort of luck honestly.

Trading does not really have an advantage over investing,the only advantage it can tend to have over it,is that,trading is fast,and one can earn immediate money.
While in investing,one has to wait for a longer period of time,before one can recieve his gain,but the good thing in investing is that it is not as risky as trading.

Trading gives money daily if properly studied and followed,but one has to be very careful,to avoid losing.

What's suitable for the majority is investing.

There's a classification of it and understanding that you don't need to put a lot of effort. But you need to be the wisest in choosing what to invest and that's through holding.

A very easy way of investing that's being done by almost everybody.

Investing takes way to long unless you are patient, short-term trading is exciting big money only for the people who master the very difficult art of trading better than most everyone else.

Some time trading position is better than investing when getting coin suddenly dump or pump, but with investing when reach much profit and we are updating always how price coins assets is better, because many investor not checking every time with their coin holding. maybe two or three years later open their wallet and looking coin keep higher price or not, I know investing will get much profit but when have chance for selling with good price better sell it first and keep buy back when down for investing again.

Both are beneficial. However, there are some differences. Trading can help you make quick profits instantly if you have both the money and the skills to trade. Investing is slow, but there is a guarantee in it. You should calculate your trading needs and put money wisely.

Trading can be more profitable in terms of quick returns if your strategy is good and you have studied the market well. Investing, on the other hand, is slow.

Trading will only have advantage over investment for people who are very good in trading and not just for everyone, so the question will now depends on who you asked which everyone will give you his own personal opinion based on his or her experience in trading and investment. Is up to you deduced your conclusion from all the submission here.

I think its the same,because if you hold long term its profitable, but if you trade and do some mistakes its equal to holding.

I think this depends on each person's experience and knowledge. Investing or trading requires basic knowledge. You need to analyze, research about projects, evaluate potential before making investment decisions. For trading, you also need to learn technical analysis. I think both can be profitable but also risky

No trading can not take over investment. I have seen that investment has gone to make a huge profit for traders. Trading can't give huge amount of money. Doing trading you can be scary. If only one investment happens at right time this will equal to a retirement from money earnings but doing trading you can't retire and you can't trade positively for whole life. Investment are the boss but only right time buy and sell.

I don't think that trading can have advantage over investing. Trading is out of making a day profit or short period of time profit. With trading it involves daily risk, that means you don't know what will happen in short time, it also take a lot of stress And you always be active online and when do trading with little amount of money you may not make reasonable profits but investing is act of holding for long periods of time, this does not involve much stress, once you invest you don't need checking on what you invest always and with investment you can start with little amount and you may later make huge profit.like think of those that in invest in Bitcoin since 8 years with just 100 dollars.

For me, Both trading and investing are good for me. I trade over three years. I also investing another source before 2020. I am happy to invest both. Sometimes trading is more profitable and sometimes investing is more profitable for me.

Investing is more pay than trading. Now that the end of the year is approaching, those that enjoy huge amount of profits making are those that invested on long term investment. Investing protect investors from loss by watching careful in the market to know when to sell and when to hold until the market look beautiful for profit making.
Trading does not allow you to miss loss in the market because you are already aware about what is going on in the market, And anything you achieve from it either small or bigger you bear it. Trading is profitable but investing is more profitable in this season we are in the community.

In the perfect world, Yes the trading can pay more than investing but it all depends upon whether you are good at trading, have the proper information, and knows the rules of tradings. By trading, you can make more profits by just buying and selling according to market trends and demands.
Also, trading requires complete focus in work whereas an investment can be slow in order to make profits.

Trading is high risk game and new comers should avoid from trading. Trading can result loss and if new comers have only this investment he will not able to take profit.
Investing is no matter very slow as compared to trading but very profitable in long term .

Trading and Holding doesn't equate the same thing my friend, you hold because you see future in a project for long or short term but trading is usually for a very short time especially when a trader is bullish on a coin or tokens.
They just look at the chart using indicator ls or generally do some technical analysis as well as fundamental analysis and then, they buy and after a while they sell when they make profits.

Answer to this questions is 2 edged.
You can invest in a wrong token at the end of the holding, your investment will yield nothing while your trades might do well.
While you can also enter a bad trade and investment might be better.
The main factor is to research about the token you want to interact with properly.

Trading needs continued learning, as well as the patience to observe the market and take wise decisions according to the market trend. Better trading practice helps in making the portfolio strong. This means, if you're into regular trading, it is possible to make small earning based on the capital spend on trading depending on the price fluctuation of the respective coin preferred for trading purpose.

Investment is much about long term profiting, which doesn't require much work to be done. The only thing need to be done is cashing out at the right moment. Missing opportunities will lead to long waiting.

Trading can make you more money than investing if you are good at trading and trade with a feasible trading strategy. It can give you instant results. On the other hand, investing is slow, but can give you good profits in the long-term if you have invested in assets that can grow in future.

Trading also requires time to master. You need to be good with both fundamental and technical analysis. You need to stay updated with news and other global events from time to time.

I think yes. At the very least, I find trading a much more dynamic and interesting option.

in terms of risk, I think trading does have a much greater risk. however, in terms of profit, and acceleration of profit, trading is much better, because the trading period is determined by us, while investment depends on where it is invested. but, personally, so far, I've been investing more than trading. many people do both. however, I think that trading and investing together requires a large amount of capital.

From my own personal experience throughout the years, investing long term is waaaay better than trading. I know a lot of people think of compounding percentages and technical analysis when considering trading, however they are deluding themselves. Compounding percentages go both ways, if you make a loss, it will be harder to make a profit with which you regain your loss. And technical analysis is basically bs. Nobody can see the future or what is going to happen. So trading is basically gambling with the hope that you discover a "pattern" which helps you predict something.

I think that there must be a balance between trading and investment, normally all of us have a favorite trend, some are more investor thinking and others of market speculators, no matter in which direction the market goes if profits are obtained up or down, in My case when there is investment requires many ingredients, which, the main one is that you have enough money to resist any economic emergency without the need to resort to extracting the investment that is made, that is why Warren Buffet's books are those indicated for this type of operation.

yes from trading you can get a huge profit. but if you are not an expert in trading if you don't know about trading then you should avoid investing and trading. first, you should get knowledge about trading then trade

Investment has a timeframe, for example, you invest long-term with a profit target that you have set yourself. If you don't set a profit target, you must have the readiness to hold if the market potential to rise is greater. Of course, the return on investment is greater if you do that. Talking about trading you only take profits if the market has gone up, you wouldn't even think about holding back. because in my opinion trading is chasing daily profit.

Trading is of more advantageous, if you are a good trader you can manage losses and risk, you have a say in the market,
And you can't be broke,
 Investment is also good but it might take for ever to get your profits

Trading can be an exciting way to earn fast cash. However, just like gambling, it can also quickly lead to huge losses. Investment usually means smaller short-term gains, but it also means fewer serious losses. If you are satisfied with the risks, trading with part of your funds will be pleasant and may bring profits.

A good trader will make profit more than a bad investor.
A good investor will make profit more than a bad trader.
Just be good. Anyone will work for you.

Trading can be profitable in the short-term, while investment may take a long-term to be profitable.
Trading requires more energy and time, mastering trading skills can make money faster.
Investors need time and patience, have enough funds to invest and at the same time do not expect fast returns.

but for trading we must learn to trade on an ongoing basis, although it can make money quickly, but with trading contains a lot of risk. There are many incidents when trading is short term, but because of the floating minus, it seems as if you are a long term investor, because many do not dare to cut losses

Well its difficult to justify if trading will pay more because firstly investing which should be as good as holding has no time frame of  returns and we can not say it will pay more based on the uncertain time frame and secondly trading crypto will expose you to more risky trades which could either leave you at a loss or more profit... So all things considered, investing is less risky but if its higher profits we want then trading is the way to go.
