with this picture, it already provides an explanation without the need for you to be complicated explaining, because it is quite effective for beginners who do not understand the different flow of discussion. This is really helpful, but one thing you miss is that you don't include the source the image was taken from. oh or maybe it's your personal collection.

Trading is a risky investment. Trading is as short a time as possible. And investment can be anything. Most investments are long-term. It is not let out that there will be profit and loss in trading. There can be profit and also loss. And the chances of losing investment are very intense.

Yes, trading is a risky form of investing in crypto currency market, and also Investing itself is also risky because in crypto currency nothing is certain. As an individual, it is up to you to determine if you are more suited to trading or investing crypto currency


Trading crypto currency does not necessarily mean it has to be short term; there are short term, mid term and long term trading targets in crypto currency market

Your cryptocurrency world is in between. It can also be referred to as a short-term investment but it is called trading. Cryptocurrency trading is risky because 80% of it all has a very fast movement to make profit or loss.

Trading and Investing does have that similarities too.

Consider Trading could neither be;
Short term and Long term
It does also depend neither Technical and Fundamentals too.
Can also re-invest or shall we say cost-averaging

Those infographics above do particularly shows on traditional markets but here on crypto
you can spot out some changes.

That's a really good infographics about trading and investing. Both of these ventures are lucrative ways to make money on and off the crypto market even though it's more better in the crypto world since there is plenty of opportunities that abound in the space.  Speaking from a personal point of view, I have done both trading and investing activities in crypto and I can't really say which one brings more money since they're both very lucrative. But I do like investing more since I only have to concern myself with project researches and making funds available to invest instead of reading charts and analyzing numerous market data.

Dear friend, crypto trading is clearly a very big risk, but it must also be remembered that where there is a big risk there is also a big profit to be obtained. so the greater the risk, the greater the benefits. it is proper that it will happen like that and all who trade will surely understand the consequences that will be obtained.
if you are good at managing trades, now days trading is very attractive to follow.

what investment are you going to invest, some are safe but some are also risky. If there you is an investment in stocks, it is clear that there will be risks, maybe not by investing in gold, houses, land and apartments. so just choose what you deserve to do and get used to doing it, this is very important.

In short, investing is something more relaxed than trading, trading requires 100% dedication, investing you just need to keep track and be aware of when you can make a profit.

Another difference is that most investors have enough money to face the time that is necessary, the market speculators mostly use that money sometimes for their expenses and needs, that is why they are all the time waiting for market movements.

Most traders always look for the line of least resistance, it does not matter if the price rises or falls, the trader always seeks to take advantage of any movement, not in investment, in investment it is always expected to be a single movement and it is to be in trend bullish. In market speculation, some traders combine technical analysis and fundamental analysis, also some traders may enter the market with several stocks or cryptocurrencies and speculate, while the investment is mainly for one stock or one cryptocurrency, if it is done for several cryptocurrencies the Investment would be divided and the earnings would be diversified and riskier than investing with 1 cryptocurrency. In the advice Warren Buffet gives, he indicates that it is better to do the study corresponding to the chosen stock with great care and then invest and wait for long-term profits.

As far as I know, trade and investment are not that different. They are the same, wanting to make a profit. All the images you share and their captions are used for giving. Maybe a little difference is in terms of who did it. As far as I know investment is passive. We do not run independently.

In contrast to trading we are more active in controlling what we will do. Perhaps the difference is that investments aim at creating wealth over a long period of time by buying and holding. Whereas trading aims to make a profit by buying and selling for a much shorter period.

Since trading is quite risky, I firmly accept investment. However, blending the both task at the same point give me more confidence. 1-10% running crypto trades, 25% goes into the semi-long term and rest of the portfolio HODL for the long term.

It is risky because you are banking on short term gains which is of no effect when it comes to investing because in the long term, your investment are going to grow and it has a lot of charts for proof. You don't have to experience loss in investment, choose the safe ones to invest in.

hahaha..... sometimes anyone wanna share his point of view.

agree,,,,its abit more risky. you can earn alot in crypto because someone should loss alot in crypto or someone will pay higher than you.
you will have to know anything you can get & some skill you can have in order to survive.

some people can pay their life with crypto trading or investment, but no one can make sure it will be forever

Trading and investment are very close. Yet few differences exist. My intention in saying the two are close is that we expect to profit. That profit can come from both trading and investment. The difference, as far as I'm concerned, is the risk and the time. The risk is higher in trade and lowers in investment. The investment is usually for a long time and the trade is for a short time. But there is no obstacle to that. Some trades are for a long time.

Both trading and investing have a risk but will depend on how each person can handle the risk and minimize it to profit. If you can not learn or do not have time to learn to trade, then investment will be your choice because you do not need to check the market too often and you stick to hold your coin for some time. But you will not make a profit daily or daily because the market will have a gap of the price that the trader use to buy low and sell high, so besides investing, the trader also makes a profit in a short time. You should choose what you want and never follow other people without research.

In my opinion, trading is something which requires perfect timing and when you are not sure about that then you can go for investing.

Timing the market is biggest differences between trading and investing.

If you do not have good knowledge on technical part and you do not have enough time to catch the right time to enter and exit the market then you can simply choose the another opportunity which is nothing but investment.
Yes, you just need basic knowledge of which one will be good and profitable and then just buy and hold. After your entry, even market goes down, you will not panic as there will be no stop-loss and you may book profits after months to years of waiting.

Wow, what a helpful infographic. This will really help beginners to learn about trading and investing. Because there are still many beginners who are confused about the difference and which is better between the two. Both trading and investing have their advantages and disadvantages. It depends on how you work as a trader or holder. Because of the way it works, we can optimize these advantages and reduce the impact of the shortcomings. However, it is not easy to do this, if you are not used to it or you cannot, you don't even know how to trade or invest. Everything is needed persistence and seriousness in learning it, we must know in advance how or what to do before directly plunging or practicing directly. Because, if we immediately start trading or investing without any preparation, it will actually make it difficult for you in the process. Better, prepare in advance and learn what is most important about it. You will feel the results for yourself, if you keep trying. Failed? it must have happened, but if we want to get up and learn from these failures, in the future you will achieve the success you want.

Keep up everyone!

Trading and investing are both profitable and risky. It's all depends on how you trade and invest. Both needs patience but on trading you need strategy and you should understand the technical and fundamental analysis. In investing, you should have more patience and must have knowledge about the project that you want to invest.

No risk go gain. I think there need more analysis in trading every time and man who can make judgement well success is waiting there for traders. On the other hand investment sometimes missed from team misbehave and mislead and long term issue also worked there. So i think trading is best if he catch right thing in right time.

So is investing alone too. Both are risky and they're always be.

For both of it, if you're patient and wise in deciding, you'll have the profit but if you're mind changes from time to time and you're letting yourself caught by your emotion. Then, you're the one that's going to lose in the end whether you're a trader or an investor.

Choose any of them where you're confidently going to be better. Whichever is the choice and you're profitable on it, enrich what you have chosen.

Isn't that when We do trade or We like to involve ourselves in trading it needs investment form? Perhaps, its differences is that when you do trade you can control everything in terms of buying and selling of when to buy, while on investing onceyou do it, all you need to do is to wait for your profit shares, dividend, or something incentives where you don't have any control once you made an action for investmen something like that unlike on Trading you have the capability to control your profit of when to withdraw or not.

Trading needs...
*focus
*more time
*Knowledge and skills

While investment just needs
*more time
*Knowledge and skills

That might explain why trading isn't for everyone and that because not all of us are able to spend more time, have focus, and are going to improve their knowledge and skills about this.

Trading and investing are both profitable, when you want to invest in an ICO projects or coins you must invest higher amount of money so that it will back to you 3 or 4 times if the project is successful and it takes time . On the otherhand, trading alt coins is you are trafing coins in order for you to gain income,using right techniques and knowlege you will gain ptofit in short trades andd long term trades.

The biggest difference is the time put into it. In investment you spend a lot of time once and decide on something, then you make a purchase and just hold it as long as you want, in trading you constantly keep checking things and never stop checking them, that means we are talking about something that would be great for everyone if they do it right but horrible if they do it wrong, so we are talking about something that would take a lot of time and it will be very stressed to make that work.

If you are a good trader you could profit more than an investor, but if you are a bad trader you will lose money very quickly. Which is why I think it is quite obvious that it is a personal preference, whichever you pick there is money to be made or money to lose, it is all about which one you pick and how good you are in that thing you picked.

It came from here (https://www.dbs.com.sg/personal/articles/nav/investing/trading-vs-investing), in case anybody wonder where the image came from as well.


Building wealth over time for investing somehow applies to trading as well, but it would differ at least from the timeframe that the profit was made. It would just be between long and short term.

Trading is riskier in my opinion since you are actively selling and buying bitcoin and the uncertainties in the market will be a spell that will either make you a profit and most of the time a loss. Investing in my opinion is much better since you don't have to stress over the management of your fund.

Trading: "Generate returns by buying and selling securities"
Investing: "Reinvest profits and dividends by purchasing additional amounts of the underlying security"
Can anyone explain to me how this is not the same?

Basically, everything is an investment, you have some money and you wish to make more money (profit) over time! Time here is not important as your starting capital and your goals, and exactly that is the place anyone should start from! You need to know how much you have, how much money you can risk... and you need to have some goal! Depending on these two you will be able to know how much risk you are facing.

I will go even further and say that investing=gambling! If there's a risk of losing and the possibility of winning its gambling, this is like some definition!

Yes i also have found that all the information between investment and trading are here .I think its a great a topic here to know about the difference with these two .However I always follow the investment way cause i think on trading we have always face the fluctuation on the other hand a long term investment with a good fundamental can give us a huge amount of profit always .

There are times when trading is more profitable than investing and vice versa. Also Timing is the key to be profitable either you trading or investing.

- If you compare the time to achieve success in trading and investment, the difference is not so much as what you compare, trading can take time to learn but the investment also takes time to wait, sometimes we can wait a few years to harvest from a project ideal. Talking about the rest of the differences, I strongly agree that trading requires a lot more skill as it focuses a lot on charts, along with the use of indicators while investment is only inclined to fundamental analysis, it is quite limited in terms of research methods

Trading requires cutting edge precision as it can be profitable in minutes to seconds also where investing just needs basic knowledge of what you do but it will get you profits after months to years of waiting. Simply, trading can be profitable when you are good in technical analysis whereas investing will be profitable when you are good in fundamental analysis.

The highly profitable in short term usually comes with high risk as well. Investing can be highly profitable but that is not happening in quicker succession hence the risks are spread out which leads to less to no risk of losing capital in investments of we choose right assets like bitcoins.

Trading is a good way for those who have a free time, I mean he has no work and just focus on trading and dedicates that trading is his main income. Because, trader especially day trader need a free time when he want to entry into the market. He needs several times to make a prediction and need several hours to take a profit from his prediction.

Different with investing, you don't need to make a predictions in detail. You just need to choose a good coin like bitcoin or ETH, buying it and choosing in the safe place like hardware wallet and etc and you can come back again later. You may need several years to get a good revenue, like you buy bitcoin at march a year ago and you can sell your bitcoin now and you get huge return from it.

Trading involves both technical and fundamental analysis to predict the market trend while investment might not involve technical analysis because it's a long term asset accumulation which can be analyzed using fundamental analysis.

You bring an important point, trading and investing are similar but the main difference strives in the amount of risk that you are going to take between those two activities, trading is way more riskier while investing is safer, now this means that you can make more profits when you trade than when you invest but at the same time it means that the probabilities of success are way lower.

So which path should we take? It is my belief that every single person that has decided to come to this market should begin as an investor so they can reduce their risk and take the time to learn more about the markets in general, and then after a few years in which they have become successful investors they could try trading if they want but I'm pretty sure that at that time many people will just refuse because they like the idea of keeping their success intact, but many people do not do this and begin as traders and they lose most of their money because of this.

This sounds like a good suggestion. Rather than struggling with the day-trading kind of high risk one, beginners should opt for long-term holding so that they could understand how the bitcoin market is fluctuating over the years. Simply watching will be definitely a boring one for anyone but when you are having some position into some market and then watching the price movements will be much interesting and helping to learn something about the market movements.

When you are good at predicting possible market turning points, then that would be a right time to enter as a trader in the same market.

Most people are experiencing stock trading and then directly entering into crypto trading which must be a blunder mistake in my opinion. Even the basics of trading are same but market influencing factors are completely different like we do not have halving event in stock trading. So, understanding the fluctuations of crypto markets must be very important before entering as a trader.

Nowadays if you are here in cryptocurrency Trading is one of the most effective methods here for us to earn Bitcoin or crypto. This is what I did now where I applied day trading while if you want to sit and relax without hassle or anything of course, Investing is the one very suitable for this type of person. But the risk was too high compared into Trading. But the advantage of Trading was that you can earn in a short period of time while on Investing is not but to wait in the long term.

Investing was/is always a better way of getting profit vs trading, I don't understand why so many people are so insistent to trade instead of investing which is a smarter method, the only exception would be when/if you're one of ~5% or less that are somehow better at trading and are getting better result that way, or if you have some kind of an insider information about a bunch of projects and know when they're going to pump or dump.

You should never trade anything that you're not willing to hold, because how's to say that coin/token that you just bought won't go down and even stay there for a long time?, and that means the project's fundamental should be solid and you should not buy just randomly anything that seems undervalued/cheap to you whether it's based on TA or any other factor.

You have, in the simplest way possible, explained with infographics the major differences between trading and investing. Those are practically the major differences. You, however, didn't mention one significant difference and that is the risk level of each of them.
It's very important to know that the risks associated with trading is quite high and it is quite easy to lose all trading if one does not understand the intricacies and the technicality of trading. Investing, on the other hand, is associated with low risk. The only risk involved is buying or storing up the right type of coins or asset because quite a lot of these assets don't have potential. Other than that, just hold for a long time until you've made significant gains

i would prefer investing. Because manytimes i dammn sure about the profit and invest. So mine vote for Investing

Trading is like a job for that we need to work continuously to make money but as an investors we are not going to do any work, our money will work for you and it will keep compounding to generate more and more funds. In crypto market the investment period is much lesser compared to the traditional stock market profit making time period so this is the new ear of being an investor.

Getting a high profit from investing depends on the stage at which you buy the coin. And if you buy a coin at the pre-sale stage, then your profit will be calculated in thousands of percent. This amount of profit is very difficult to get if you buy a coin on the exchange, because the price has already increased a hundred times and you are actually buying it from those who invested at an early stage.

I think,Trading and Investing are very close.But there are Both in risk.If you have enough experience in cryptocurrency then You can get good profit by trading or investing.So you can earn shortly by trading.But investing in long term.

Everything is complex unless we know it. To be a successful trader or investors we should understand the risk. If you are interested in day trading you should get yourself a compound interest calculator. Set your sale order on every trade and watch it develop.

Yeah still anyone can do the both of them. Investment doesn’t require much of a focus , but when it comes to trading you need to be focused. In investments you just choose an asset that you believe is the best for you and then you invest in them and choose how long you’re going to wait, most of them I have done are usually being calculated per annual and you can decide to hold for longer than that to increase what you’re going to get, let’s say for two years.

The thing with investments is that their returns are not as huge and as for trading, the returns can be more than what you’re going to be getting from investments by the time you finish your trading for the year, but there are risks.

Short-term trading is not necessarily the best, long-term trading also has many advantages.
Besides, short term trading requires a lot of skills and experience, so not everyone can trade in the short term.

Trading and investing are pretty close concepts, both have many similarities.
I think if people buy cryptocurrency and keep it long it's an investment, if they are into daily or short term trading then it is treated as trading.

Well, I know that the purpose of these infographics is to differentiate trading and investing well in fact they are actually the same.
They are both investments in a way that you are buying securities and solid assets in form of currencies and stocks. They can also be sold anytime you want them too often. But some stocks especially when you bought them privately might need a vesting period before you can sell them. Prices of both fluctuate depending on the performance of the business and the demand. The only difference between the two is the market. Trading is public and investing is somehow private ^{[either it’s yet at the stage of selling to the public or decided to operate financially private]}
I hope this helps the people to learn more about the two terms.

The level of return must be depending on multiple factors and it is really unfair to call all the investment returns are small. For example, returns from bitcoin holding will be huge compared to any altcoins but there will be differences when the time period of holding changes; it means altcoins may bring big returns when you're holding for long periods and bitcoin returns will be small if you are trading or from short-term holding.

If you want risk free returns then you should go for the only investments because trading cannot be coming up with no risks but investments are.

Risks are the most important thing. If you invest, then you risk much less due to the fact that you do not have to perform any manipulations with your coin. That is, after investing, you just wait and everything else does not depend on you. At the same time, trading is associated with the constant need for various manipulations, due to which you can easily lose a certain part of the deposit, and sometimes it is not so easy to return it. The formula is quite simple, the lower your risks, the higher your profit.

This is really a very good Explanation about Crypto Trading and Crypto Investing. Anyone can increase their knowledge about Trade and Investment for this image. Need short time for trading and need more time for investment. We can earn good amount from investment but need patients.             

I liked the explanation of the picture..Trading seems to me a risk. There is more tension in the head. But investment risk is less. Good profit is possible by investing in good coins. Investing in new conditions is good. Experience is required to trade.

Yes, investing will be profitable even for newbies in this crypto space if you invest into bitcoin. I do not agree about investing in good coins. Because, no altcoin will be safer; LTC was dominating in altcoin space but now ethereum is leading there and in near future another coin will do the same whereas bitcoin will continue its marvelous run. So, avoid trading and invest only in bitcoins if you stay with crypto space.

Yeah, investment got lots of advantages and its returns are always auto-pilot way if you do with bitcoins. By this time lots of altcoins are giving good returns and consider dogecoin as an example: you must need to wait for more than 7 years and you need to actively watch to book profits because dogecoin hits 700+ satoshi for the first time in its existence but you need to be already to catch that levels because it is right now trading around 450 satoshi so if you was busy yesterday then you might have missed that opportunity but bitcoin is stable above $60k and it got assured 4 year cycle with 10x growth on every cycle.

The infographics says it all differentiating investment and trading for those who have difficulty dealing or understanding what investing and trading really is. It is important for a certain individual to better know this to avoid confusion and make better understanding of where they wanted to get engage into the various crypto related works you can get into dealing with cryptocurrencies. Both investment and trading can be profitable depending on the individual handling it because it still relies on how the person chooses the cryptocurrency he will entrust his money with whether his aim is to trade or invest with it.

All decisions you take have risks, and risks cannot be a comparison between trading and investing,
The comparison of the two is seen in the strategies and methods used when you want to trade or invest,
for example, trading always considers risk by making a stop loss plan, while investing does not use stop losses, because investing is focused on the long term, and stop loss is only used when playing short-term,

What kills most newbies is that they want not only to make profits but they want to obtain profits in the most difficult way possible, if at the beginning they just bought bitcoin and held their coins even if it was boring if they could do this for a few years then the chances of them being profitable is very high, and if they used that time to learn about the markets then the chances they will become profitable traders are very high as well.

But they want to begin trading immediately and that is when they are more susceptible to make a mistake as they invest in all kind of coins that scam them or that turn out to be a failure and they lose all their money and at the end think every single coin is a scam when they were the ones that selected  scams due to their inexperience.

Trading and Investing are similar. The only difference is the length of days it will stay in the market. Trading is for a short-term stay in the market, will take only for a day some takes days. For investing, it's like staying for months to years.

I am convinced, that investing in the long term brings much more earnings than trading and you sleep more calmly at night. Why? Because you are investing at very favorable prices, and you are already trading at high prices.

You can be an investor and a trader while you're sleeping well at night.

As an investor, you just let your investments sleep as if you're not going to touch them soon. And while waiting for them to become big, you can have a sideline of trading.

In trading, you're not really that putting much pressure and you can still trade calmly if you can control your mood.

I agree that I can be a profitable investor even while I will be sleeping but how's that possible with trading as well? I am sorry I could not get your point.

Only investor may stay calm in my experience because traders need to solve lots of hassles so that they could predict the exact movements of markets. So, not taking pressure will not be possible if you are trading but staying calm without any tension will be possible if you remain as a "bitcoin" investor (I mean no other asset may not guarantee you like bitcoin do for its investors).

The one key difference I would say is investing means buying and hodling. You also look to short or sell in trading. And trading often is not long term unlike investing. Traders stay and make charts, investors do background fundamental research,,, one is in to make profits and the other as well, but to make long term dividends in something they support and believe in.

In trading while you're sleeping, it's like setting your buying and selling orders.

It's an automated feature that you can use with those exchanges for you to have a peace of mind while you're at sleep. You can hit those orders and even stop your loss while you're away.

You can remain calm as you trade, you don't have to trade and be like the others that you're going to monitor it every single minute.

till now there are still people that didnt get the difference between the two .
 i have read discussions where they define trading and investing as one but the topic was all about trading . this infographic is perfect for them if they are having a difficulty with definition in words .

learning cryptos is important as learning the difference of investing and trading because there are cryptos that dont work for investing but can work in trading  .

When someone talks about trading I see it as an activity that you do daily (day trading), then when we talk about investment that’s the one I refer to as HODL. HODL is the investment here, because that’s pretty much what you are doing, you are investing when you HODL; when you hold, you put the money in a wallet and then keep it there till there is an increase which is the profit, and it can be for a year or more, and it can as well be less than that, it all depends on how the market moves when you invest that money.This image you have here explains everything properly and that’s just it, the difference between the two things; trading and investment.

If what you're investing in is Bitcoin I think if you keep it for years it won't be a problem. Because if the price of Bitcoin goes down, it can recover quickly and every year the price will definitely increase. But if we invest in other coins, especially coins that have just been listed on the exchange, there needs to be considerations that can convince the project of that coin to run well. Because, not all new coins will have their price going up, even though they usually just come out in a few days the price has started to fall. So you have to make sure the projects run by the company from the coin have a good reputation and interest from customers. However, this is not the only thing that is of concern. There is still a lot that you have to consider when you are going to invest in a new coin, to trade I think it doesn't matter when the price is still normal.

Instead, you invest in coins that are convincing and listed on the top exchanges, it will benefit you more and make it easier for you to make a profit. Because the possibility that the new coin will be hype will still be a question mark, when the coin has not been listed on any exchange. So make sure there is convincing evidence first, before you start investing your money.

I would make the same comparison between trading and investing. But sometimes it is hard to distinguish these two words. For example, you can be an active trader for weeks but when the prices drop you be uncomfortable to trade at the lower prices. So and trader could become and investor overnight. I think that a trader is someone who checks the prices multiple times each day, even if he is not trading his coins.

A similar situation happened to me in 2017, when I went from a trader to an investor who did not have time to sell bitcoin in time. It was a forced decision, which can be explained by my inexperience in trading, but I hope that this will not happen to me again. The best solution is a conscious decision to become an investor, which can bring a big profit in the long term.

Using it as perspective to whatever plans they've got from this market. Both are effective depends from how the person acknowledge each opportunities.

Do your DYOR as always and find what suits to you, it helps to develop your skills in finding every chances to earned and what ways are fit to your character.

At the end, you alone who can dictate your fate choosing between trading and investing.

That has been proven by many veteran people across this community and Mr. Satoshi's stash is another living proof.

Unfortunately most new people are not preferring to be an investors as they love taking risks and hence they directly get into trading and most of them are burning their figures and very few may find good profits still in long run an investor might make more than that for zero efforts.

We can easily make good profits in cryptocurrencies just by investing and trading some altcoins may help still not necessary when considering the ROI of bitcoin investments.

These terms are closely related, but undoubtedly the infographic separates them like water and oil (!?)

In practice, both concepts differ in their execution but are united by a common objective and that is profitability, although the term "investment" is very general and refers to the use of "capital" in search of a benefit using different areas, including the "commerce" and that is its main difference (IMO), trading; it is a segment where you can invest.

It is actually a very clear explanation about investment and trading.
However, whether you are, trader or investor, ensure that you must use free money for every condition. Because once you may not meet your expectation, you may still have enough money for your daily needs and you can still continue your life. But, mostly this time is many people are using hot money or daily life money for investment or trading. So once the price drop, their mental are also dropped, feel mad and also bad because of losing money

Yeah, both trading and investing will reward similar if we approach them effectively. But, the efforts required in trading is definitely more compared to investing whereas rewards may remain same and in most occasions investing is leading in terms of higher rewards. Yes, lesser efforts still higher rewards is possible with investments given that you are good at choosing your asset like bitcoins.

I believe bitcoin investing will suit anyone as we may start at any time with as low as $100 an initial capital. Instead of choosing based on what suits us, I guess we may choose based on our patience level. Because, people who invest and wait for years gains a lot in general.

Trading and investing are different from each other.  Trading is speculation jobs where you learn about charts, basics etc to become a good trader. Trading is hard job then investing. Investment is easier job then trading. Choose some good projects and invest into them. Forgot about these Investment. Trading can not make huge retirement money but Investment can do this is difference between these two. Trading money is daily spendable money but Investment money is our life time working money. I preferred Investment.
  Investors will always win the race.

Trading is a continuous job, you trade in order to get money or even to lose. While investment, we are certainly expecting that we can survive even without working hard. By simply leave it there and it grow but that could be different when we are talking about crypto investment. You must have to work with you investment otherwise, you'll be messed up.

I say, NOT all. Some didn't reach the finish line and some just quite in the middle for they are invested the wrong one. The same as trading does, some succeed and some also we're failed.

That’s a really good advice, I see investment and trading differently from the way that lots of people sees it. There are people who see it as a means of income that they can fully rely on, but I don’t see it that way, rather I see it something that can be a side income; I can have office job and invest in bond or any asset at all that yields annually and at the end of the year I am still getting the same level of profit with someone that leaves their job to invest or trade.

It is usually best to have something that you are sure will be generating steady income, and then these trading and investment can be for side income, even if they are paying more than your regular job, you shouldn’t quit when you have not made enough to sustain you for life.

This is a view that seems to be too superficial for my tastes, it may seem that is the case as the goal of both investors and traders is to earn money and the only difference seems to be the means at which they want to do it, but this is not really accurate.

Investing is based on fundamental analysis, you select a coin not based on how is it doing at the time but based on the solid foundation in which it was created, this is why bitcoin is so popular among those that want to be in the market for the long term, traders om the other hand do not care about that at all and only look at the short term performance of a coin, with many of them deciding to trade coins they know are scams as long as they think they can obtain profits out of them.

I disagree with you bout investing.
Investing is not about you put money in there after doing some research about those asset that you have been decide to invest and forget/wait few more years.

Just like trading. Everyone need to learn how to do TA, risk management including stop loss and take profit with perfect timing in order to decide when you need to enter your trade&exit strategy.

Investing need more knowledge about fundamental reason behind it and follow up about the project daily/weekly/monthly as you fit.
In order you can get updated information that you think the project will be fail in the end or still have big chance to be succesful
After that you will have to decide when you sell based on your information about that asset to reduce the risk of losing your investment and maximize your profit

Investing involves buying an asset you expect will rise in value over time, with the goal of long-term gains.

Trading, on the other hand, is about timing market moves and buying and selling stocks within a short period for quick profits.

the fundamental difference between trading and investing lies in the time frame. trading is synonymous with looking for profit in the short term, in contrast to investments that leave assets for years, because they have studied fundamental analysis for the future of that asset.

Your investment can be your side income but trading cannot be like that; because you need to spend time for your trading which requires lots of hours for preparing accurate signals for buying and selling. So, trading cannot be a side income for sure. At the same time with investments you cannot expect any immediate returns so that also cannot be side income but it can be a resource in long-term to support you when you need any emergency funds.

Still I agree with you that you must have a regular job for supporting you; only after that you can think about investing and trading. Both might be sounding easier but both are having some level of risks associated. You can go for bitcoin for investment which will be having comparatively lesser risk when you are planning for long-term.

Big profits but in short time will always have huge risks. People who are able to wait and look for consistent profits are going for investments rather than struggling with any kind of trading. From all these, we can easily conclude that both trading and investing are same in some sense but how you want profits and how you approach your risks to split it out or how to eliminate it are the few things which differentiate one from another. Day trading is something I completely hate; I prefer only investments which can be both short term and long term.

Way back 2017 when I was a newbie I don't even understand the difference of the two. All I know is trading and investing are both risky and the chance of gaining profit depends on analysis. But unlike gambling, trading and investing are more profitable. Knowing the difference also help a person determine what best fits them. Me personally, I am not the kind or person to sit all day watching the prices that is why I much prefer to invest in good coins rather than trading.

If there is a difference between the two investing money works different ways of investing making money over time. The horizon is short lived while maintaining security for business purposes when money is invested in a project the horizon is relatively long when it comes to holding assets in trading the trader has to analyze the securities and the future trends by analyzing the technology. In contrast to the analysis by the data obtained through trading activities the investor in the investment has to do a fundamental analysis to analyze the project plan or product to estimate its intrinsic value.

but for investment, usually our profit is predictable from the start we get an adjusted profit, but for trading we need to be harder to cultivate. sometimes the profit can be bigger or smaller when we trade

- Yes, the difference is very clear in terms of time, investment always directs users to an increase in price based on the potential and plan of the project while trading is an enhancement of the method of movement, the user needs to create the most suitable instincts and qualities to increase the profit range and remove the weaknesses and traps of the market. A trader's skill is the point at which to exploit profits but for investors, exploiting profit to them is a simplification of the skill side.

I have preferred investment ever since I discovered myself that trading is a thing of a poor mindset, I started to understand that the billionaires are all long term investors, and they are the ones that travels to wherever they want in the world, I choose investment over trading am to me 1 year now looks like a month, if you can think this way then you will beat out from poverty.

Short term investment is not profitable, it socks you silently while others are getting richer gradually. Long term investments is the only way forward.

You know investment seems to be more better because it saves someone the stress of being available to monitor the market. Both trading and investment are both good ways of generating profit in crypto but trading seems to complicated due to the fact that you need core knowledge about the market in order to be a successful trader, but investment is just easy that even a newbie can invest and start fetching out profit, tho investments is for long teams while while trading is mostly short term because many traders are known as day traders.

Investments are better because your risks are significantly reduced. You bought - you are waiting. In trading, you constantly make moves, each of which can lead to losses.
If you do not make mistakes in trading, then your choice is trading, but there are only a few such people.

The study says this one, traders are losing because they lose opportunities in the coming years and I have to agree on this one since I do trade BTC before and I regret doing that because of the value today. Anyway, we all have different strategy and we cannot blame traders for actively working on the market so they can achieve their goals. I personally play long in stock market and do trading in cryptomarket, its about your risk tolerance and of course your availability.

Good strategy though, the stock market is more secured as it's less manipulated compared to the crypto market, but in terms of profitability, we can make a bigger profit in crypto if we are smart enough in finding the right opportunity. The high volatile market could give better profit for smart traders, that's why we can't blame some people who focus on crypto as there's big money in here.

With this picture, we can now know the differences between trading and investing, both are a risky thing, but if you want to have a little bit of security in profit then you may go for investing for the long term especially investing in bitcoin, as bitcoin continuous on the increase year by year. Beginners also prefer investing compared on trading because trading requires a lot of knowledge and is really complicated for me, unlike investing that you only need to buy then wait for it to increase, much better if you will hold it for the long term.

correct trading requires knowledge and skills  just to prevent losses and of course in order to win.. Unlike investment that you only need to put money in a basket especially in some trusted projects such bitcoin and top 10 crypto currency in the market,  by holding long term it makes effort less and you can assure that afterwards you can obtain good profits.. Not the same with trading wherein you're not sure about your win rate everytime when trading because sometimes market becomes unpredictable. .so definitely i can say it has big difference no need to make a comparison because its obvious though.

Stock market is as easily manipulated as crypto, even more so in that regard. The only difference is in the stock market world there is SEC which would stop you if you do not bribe the politicians first, in the stock market world you could literally bribe a politician, get a new law passed, and after you make a deal with the politician about it, do a huge buyback of your stocks, then get the deal officially put into law, then sell after the stock increases and you made a huge profit. This has happened a billion times already, it is perfectly lawful as well.

Crypto is decentralized, it can't be manipulated that way because there is nobody at the top making decisions, however it is also manipulated because with one Elon tweet it can go up or down, but it is still all the people who buy and sell that make the decision. For example, SNL sketch of Elon was seen as something that would increase the price, it plummeted it.

There are traders who are losing but including those traders that are hitting it and making a fortune from it, there are traders who also win.

Although the ratio of those traders that are losing are higher but there's still those that make money. It's impossible that there's no one that commits mistake because there are a lot of them that still make mistakes.

Fundamental analysis can still go into trading, and that's because it can help traders to be able to determine the asset or coin that they should be trading next, and that means they will be trading coins that are more volatile and has more liquidity. And by the way, imagine if one has to be investing in stocks? I have invested in stocks once and it wasn't really what I wanted and that's why I left then and looked for other things to do with my money, cause I felt it wasn't worth it.

If I was going to even invest in them, then I should first if all invest in other areas and raise huge capitals and when I have more than enough I can then start investing in stocks and be able to leave it for a year and more to get those small profits. And if I'm lucky they can boom and have huge growth to make me even more. For cryptocurrency is the best when it comes to investing, and that's the reason I started investing.

From the little experience am having I personally believe investment is more better than trading most people lose there money in trading due to they don't have experience and some might lose there money just because they did not do more research about a coin before buying It which might endup to be a shit coin or a scam project which they will lose there money. But if you are investing the first thing you have to do is make sure you do your research first and get the right coin after that you can just buy the coin and keep and set your target.

This is truly useful, however one thing you miss is that you do exclude the source the picture was taken from. goodness or perhaps it is your own assortment. Most speculations are long haul. It isn't let out that there will be benefit and misfortune in exchanging. There can be benefit and furthermore misfortune. Furthermore, the odds of losing venture are exceptionally serious. I just need to worry about project explores and making reserves accessible to contribute as opposed to understanding diagrams and dissecting various market information.

Yes, I agree but I think the major difference is that trading requires a lot of knowledge and experience before you can get profit but it's not takes long compared to investing. Investing requires a lot of research about the project, their project goals roadmap and many more. In short, fundamental analysis is very important in investing. I think there a huge advantage if we know these two way in earning money in cryptocurrency. I like investing more than trading, and I think I'm not the only one.

Depending on your risk profile; a strategy could be to invest with 60% of your capital and trade with 40%.

It's easy as it shows but in reality it's hard to achieve especially the taking advantage of the volatility of the price in trading. A proper risk management and a stop-loss is required to achieve this goal whether you can risk 80% of your capital or 60% as long as you know the risk and you are confident what you are doing.

Investment on the other hand is quite good if you like to hold your investment for a long time it's less hassle since you are just holding and accumulating everytime you see a price dip. Both really required a vast knowledge about the market and it's not easy as what the infographic tells. Experiences will tell you what is reality behind those who made a profit in trading.

obviously investing is the easiest thing to do and with less risk but requires a long time for what is expected to be realized. usually the investment will change every 4 years when the halving occurs, so that the funds are stored for a long time in the investment.
It is clear from the point of view that funds will be needed which are not being used for anything else purely for investment.

but not with trading, because there will only be two consequences that can occur, profit or loss. If we are smart in managing and analyzing, we can be sure that what we do for trading will grow fast, but if we do something wrong, the funds could be lost.

No matter which one you would deal with because it all matters with self skill and self experience along with these things because you can actually make out fast shift between from trading to investing
and will depend if you can see some opportunity for you to pull out profits or secure it out basing with your own analysis and not all would really be having these kind of skills and this is what
differs into those who do just starting up and to those who had been on this market for how many years.Therefore, this could acquired in a long period of time even though its easy as it sounds
but when you are already on the actual situation then this is where you would realize that things arent that simple as it looks.
