Bitcoin Forum

I have reason deep to understand cryptos to a point but nothing seem to make different, in this last week, I have done a lot of reading to accumulates more ideas, gained radical knowledge of the market. Often time I met saying I'm into trading I don't do investment, on the other some I'm into investment, trading is on a very high risk demands. I ask this questions severally what's your reason why you chose trading to be better off than investment? What's the major risk involved, the challenges expected of you? Traders always wants to said when am trading I have time to watching over what am doing, I practically watch over the market either against my risk or for risk taken.
Trading can be much expected in price, you can earn enough if the market favour you, you chose when to close your open trades.

Over to you investors, they will said trading is rigorous and difficult to navigates through, trading incurs too much losses that's why I prefer to fix my money as investment watch it grow with due time, and if the market falls I can decided to take my money but the good thing is that I don't have to stress myself.

Now over to you reader, which aspect of bitcoin is best or worst experience? Where are you good at! Trading or investment? Bursts our brain with your expertise

Normally, every individual who is into Bitcoin has to decide whether they want to become a trader or just a holder. Either way, there is nothing about investment that is zero-risk, so anyone who is aspiring to become a crypto trader should learn to fully understand what they would be investing their funds in. The same goes for individuals who are just investing and holding Bitcoin in their wallet. It's easy to invest, but some investors don't have the patience to hold.

Some people love the word "trading,"  but they don't really have the time to spend and learn about it, probably because they have other daily activities that they are engaging themselves with, so they just prefer to invest and hold since it would not cost them time to buy and store in their wallet. I think if most individuals had the time to spend and learn about trading, there would be a lot more crypto traders than just holders. Finally, for myself, I love the word crypto trading because it earns a frequent profit if properly learned, but I don't have time to do all the learning, so I just hold on tight to my Bitcoin while I keep accumulating more.

I prefer to go for investment 10 times before I’ll think of trading. I’m not good at trading and I’m not the type of person that’ll be keeping an eye on the market because I easily lose focus when everything gets bored or don’t work in my favour. The risk involved in trading is not worth something I can take so I’d rather go for investment and watch my savings grow whether in my favour or not, at least the loss is going to be minimal as compared to trading.

The easiest form of bitcoin is investing. Investing into bitcoin doesn’t necessarily require more in depth knowledge about some aspects of bitcoin. The only thing needed is to find a way or Know a way to buy bitcoin. Then set up one’s wallets which is the only difficult part In investment because many people can easily forget their seeds or key’s since they are leaving the coin for a very long time. The risk of losing is very minimal in it and it is the best strategy to get an ROI for saving funds.

As for trading it is very risky to dive into it, one needs to be equipped with bitcoin knowledge such as security, types of exchanges that supports some certain pairs and also fundamental analysis. Trading is what has actually lead some people to store their funds on centralized exchanges just because of trading on spots and futures. The risk and the time spent on trading can’t be overstated. One needs to be on the look out every time for signal. Someone can lose his wealth within a day without proper knowledge of bitcoin.

Investing is way easier and more secure but trading isn’t. Also the amount a trader profits In a day is bigger than what a holder can earn. And the risk of it is also same.

Investing can also be trading, depends on the timeline we’re talking about.
What you should be more focus to is to increase your knowledge about the market, and know if you can do trading or you prefer more to become a passive investors. I prefer more long term investing, but I can do trade as well though recently the market seems not in favor to my decisions and that’s why I stop trading for now.

I would say both trading Bitcoin and Bitcoin investment can have the best and worst experiences.  It is the worst experience in trading when you try to short your trade and the price of Bitcoin surges.  The same goes with investment when you put an investment and the market crash or missing to sell at the peak.  I somehow know some antiques in trading but I prefer long-term investment since I do not use a trading bot, long term investments make me spend my time doing other sources of income and putting additional funds on the table.


Indeed, we need an investment to start our trading activity.

^No, don't mix it up.
If you are in trading, go for trading, and for investing, it should be only on investing.
Because if you are in trading you think it is your investment capital, you don't know if it will make a profit or not, or it will easily wipe out your entire investment once you made a wrong decision. Separate the amount of money for trading and also for investing, because they are both different. By separating trading and investing, you can better align your strategies and objectives with the time horizon of your investments. For example, you may want to use trading to generate short-term gains while using investing to build long-term wealth. Because for me separating the two can help you manage risk and avoid making wrong decisions that could impact your long-term profit target.

Trading and investing are two different things. If you have enough knowledge about the market then surely you can get success from here. But if I had to choose between investing and trading, I would definitely choose trading. Profits can be earned very easily and quickly from trading. But you must spend a lot of time on the trading platform. Long term investment is better for those who do not have enough time to spend. 70% of my earned profit is invested for long term and 30% in trading. But I have seen that trading can make profits very quickly. I still have losses in long term investments because my investments were made from higher markets.

If you can be good in investing, then why not learn to be skillful in trading too. After all, if you’re doing good both in it, everything will paid off when the market favors your decision. However, investing has less risk if you are actually doing the right thing, same with trading too. But in the end it’s up to you where you can be most comfortable and most profitable too, as any of them will certainly yield huge profits if you are also doing your best in it.

It is a trap.

If you are rich, you don't trade but will choose investment instead.
If  you are poor, you are more keen on trading as you think it is a way to help you get rich more quickly than investment.

Fact is painful, you are poor and get poorer by trading and worse your life will have lower quality as you have to be affected from stress by trading.
The rich get richer by investment and their life is happy as they don't have stress from trading.
Even so, you have to be good in capital management as if you use your investment capital and switch it to trading, you will probably lose most of it.

I am doubtful that if you are a successful investor, you can be a good trader.

Best experience? Investing alone. Worst experience? Trading.

Of course it all depends on the investor. Investors who are solely investing can incur losses still when they entered at a wrong time, and on the other hand, traders can still lose money if they don't know what they are doing. On the flip side, investors can make investing their best experience when they got profit, and at the same time, traders can not say that trading is their worst experience especially when they are gaining profit from it.

Where am I good at? I can say both, but I'm not the expert when it comes to trading. I mean I made money thru trading already (though it wasn't enough for me to make it as an additional income source for some reasons), and as for investing, I've also made some as well, so I guess I can say that I'm good at both of them, but not the best on both.

Investing and trading have pros and cons, and I guess many here already stated the goods and the bads on both sides, so it's up to the investor already to decide whether they will stick into investing where there are little to no stress at all, or trading where you might get stressed especially when you are losing. :D

The truth is you can lose money in both trading and investing if you do not have good mental foritude, flexibility and also the right mindset. The problem is people think that they will immediately become successful when they first put their money without knowing it is just the first step and they need to finish the other steps in order to reap what they sow. The mindset is everything, if you think you can immediately beat the market and earn a lot of money by just investing then you are in the wrong path. There are always risk around in this market and it is because of its nature of being uncertain which means there is no a sure thing.

In order to make money, you need financial literacy, right knowledge and right mindset. Take note that you cannot earn it by just studying whole day. It takes a lot of time, maybe months or even years just for you to have foundation that you can use in order to beat the market.

I'm a both investor and trader, how do I do it? Let's simply first explain what is trading and investing. For me trading is under of investing which means that is is also considered as investing if you put your money on trading account. The only difference for me is the timeframe that you are using. In investing, it takes months to years while trading it takes to minutes to weeks. I simply have 2 trading portfolio where in my first portfolio I'm a trader specifically a momentum and swing trader and on my other portfolio I'm a investor where I do long term holding.

Asking what's better between trading or investing is like asking if getting a job is better than starting a business. It will totally depend on the person entirely!

As for me, while I could maybe potentially earn more by learning how to actively trade, I prefer investing. Basically, heavy research then investing in assets I think would go up, and at the same time doing business while waiting for those investments to prosper.

I used to think trading would be more profitable because the opportunity to get profit can be achieved in a shorter period of time but there are many factors in crypto trading that make it difficult for traders to always get profits in the short term because when the market moves outside of predictions the trader must make a decision the right thing is to sell at a loss or hold and the decision often affects the mentality of traders, so for me investing is a better way in the crypto world but it can only be applied to a few coins other than BItcoin.

We must know each trade and investment's advantages and disadvantages before deciding. You can try trading if you have much free time and can learn more about trading. But on the other hand, if you don't have much free time, you can try investing.

Each of us will choose which one is comfortable for us to do and there is no compulsion about what we will choose. The important thing is that you must do your research and understand the risks involved in trading and investing.

I'm still fine with trading, investing, and doing both, although I'm not a day trader because it's hard for me. The risk of trading and investing is losing money, so we must know how to deal with the risk.

I'll choose investing over trading as trading has alot of risk involved, each day you enter the market, there's a risk of losing then making profits and the market price movement doesn't make it any easier. The profits are also there to be made but when considering the risk and not having to relax with rest of mind about your capital growing, I'll recommend investing.

Investing has less work to do with, all you have to do is to buy any coin of your interest, send the coins to your personal wallet then hold until you realized a certain amount of profits you set for yourself, you only have to secure your investment properly after buying and that's all.

To be honest both trading and investment is good, depending on the one you are interested in, some people prefer trading, why some people prefer investment and some people are into both investments and trading. I personally prefer investment but I also trade sometimes. I prefer holding bitcoin because I don’t want to be among people that will regret why they didn’t accumulate bitcoin when the price was still low, but holding a coin is not really a easy task, you have to be dedicated and you should be able to control yourself. I also trade so that I will be making little money to sustain myself.

Although you're right there, people perceive investment as just purely hodling and not really trading anything especially with Bitcoin. It's usually synonymous to long-term investment while trading is like either quick investment or short-term investment specifically like doing day trading where you treat your coins as your 9-5 job inside an exchange you're currently holding your coin.

I do also prefer long-term investment like you although I do not trade anymore since it is not really for me and having to stare at the monitor and charts for almost 8 hours with breaks would drive me insane.

People commonly have the misconception that they want to trade as they wanted to earn profits daily, but ya know reality sucks and it doesn't work that way, lol. I also prefer holding just like I previously mentioned to my reply here.

Both has it's advantage and disadvantage, and it depend on individual preferences. There could be some traders who just like that, wanted to gamble everyday, sitting and staring on their home screen for long  and analyzing the data and make a trade and obviously wanted that adrenaline of making a money online like everyday.

As compare to those investors, and I think majority of us fall in this category. We don't want to complicate things on our end, so we just buy and DCA for the rest of the years and accumulate, and just watch our portfolio grow overtime. So there's not one size fits all formula for us, really on to us, whether we are risk averse or not.

Trading is the dedication based job,you need to be more dedicated as compared to other job.Traders should not trade on the coin without any investigation on that coin.Because some of the altcoin come to the market for the short run and the project owner fly with some profit.It doesn’t mean it’s scam projects,the exact meaning will be short running projects.So if you found the project concept will survive for some years,then you can inverse your money to that coin.

Bitcoin had helped me a lot in many though situations.When I need money in some emergency situations,I will use to sell some bitcoin for some dollar.Then I will note that amount of bitcoin,when my money problems short out.I will by same amount of bitcoin to my wallet again.

Trading is not always for everybody,it's for people who have decided to take any result that comes out,whether good or bad.They say one man's food is another man's poison. Everybody is entitled to their choice.Some people lack that patient to wait for a long period of time,while some person like it when they wait for a long while.I think as a cryptopreneur,it is good to do the both so you can get experience about it.Most person only prefer holding because it is not too risky,while some person's will always choose trading over holding because it is fast.I prefer holding anyways because I won't like to lose my money for any day trading.

We don't need to have knowledge of the market before we consider investing. Trading and investing is a two different thing we need to understand. There are many traders in the market that are not even investors. What they do is just to trader what ever coin they want to trade after analysing the market. They enter the market and choose there pairs to trader against each other.

Investing is mostly about doing some research about the coin or project you want to invest in and getting ready to buy and keep them till when their prices appreciate making it due for selling. We do this continually everytime we want to investing any coin of our choice.

This will also depend on how you are taking the risk, the understanding, the ability, and also the experiences.
But if you are new to this, I will not exactly suggest you to trade moreover daily trades. This is exactly high risk with high tension daily, should involve wise and smart strategy and emotion controls, day trades are more complex to do. But for profesional day traders, this activity is also very worthy and promising. However for newbies or someone who are lack of some thongs in trades, it is not recommended. It is better for investment, especially long term investment, at least cycle of investing during bearish to bullish era. I personally am one of those who prefer to do investment than trading activities so far

   -    Having knowledge of trading can be said to be an advantage of the individual trader, and sometimes it also leads to an opportunity to make a profit here in cryptocurrency as well. That's why most beginners who enter crypto trading are always reminded that there is enough knowledge first and for this to happen it is necessary to study or learn a lot.

Also, experience is also a big help to the individual trader here in the crypto space so that we can learn quickly and not just in theory.

It depends on you what you really want to do if you have enough money to invest and have enough ideas about investing then investing is fine for you but if you don't have money to invest and if you are not used to taking risk  In that case you can choose trading as your part time profession.  Never think that trading is only about making money trading has the potential to make a profit as well as the possibility of losing money. Regardless of whether you choose to trade or invest, you must accept the associated risks.

Whether it's trading or investing, everything has risks and we must be aware that you can't play games because it will make you lose money,
this is where the importance of having knowledge and skills because it will help,
always consider before making a decision.

Both have the purpose of making a profit, so each is good, and the choice is up to each person's preferences and abilities. If you enjoy trading and feel it is more suitable for you, there is no reason why you should choose to hold for the long term and vice versa.

As for me, I tried trading and realized I wasn't very good, so I chose to invest for the long term to better suit my situation. In terms of success, I find that most of the people I know who become rich are holders, there are very few successful traders I know.

Trading, in my opinion, is a type of investment because you are still purchasing assets. When we think of investing in cryptocurrency, we usually envision purchasing digital assets and holding them for an extended period of time. They are similar to trading in that you are still purchasing or selling an asset. The only difference I notice is that when you trade, you don't have it for long; others hold it for minutes, days, or even weeks. Both contain dangers, but the risks are bigger while trading because your stop loss is short, but there is usually none when investing. Trading with leverage increases the risk even further.

Trading crypto can definitely be lucrative if you know what you're doing, and it's true that you can earn a lot if the market is in your favor. But, I also feel like it requires a lot more time and effort to constantly watch the market and make decisions based on its fluctuations. Sure, there might be some risks involved, but I feel like it's more of a long-term strategy that doesn't require as much attention as trading does.

In other hand, the worst experience would probably be the volatility and the risks involved in investing in it. It can be stressful at times, especially when the market isn't doing well.

Some people might be really good at short trading and enjoy the challenge. While others might prefer the more passive approach of investing. There's no right or wrong answer here – it's all about finding what works best for you and your own unique situation.

As a crypto connoisseur for quite a stretch, I can assert that the trading vs. investing face-off is a persistent puzzle. Each route's got its own charm and challenges, and choosing sides is all about your aims and risk tolerance.

I'm Team Trading – it's electrifying, potentially more lucrative, and lets me tango with the market. But hold up – trading's a high-risk dance, demanding dedication, grit, and serious chops to slay it.

Now, investing is the long-haul route to dinero town, possibly less flashy but way steadier and market hands-off. Some peeps prefer that life, especially if they're all about long-game stability over quick wins.

Ultimately, the decision's anchored in your personal preferences and principles. Gauge your objectives and risk hunger, and when stumped, hit up the crypto-savvy elite. Suit up and make that monumental move!

Trading is a high-risk endeavor that necessitates extensive knowledge of market charts and other analysis in order to be successful; however, investing is a risk-free endeavor in which you do not need to panic when the market falls because you invested in a project you believe in, and thus you will meet your target before selling your coin.

That's a valid point, having knowledge of the market is crucial for both trading and investing in cryptocurrencies. Trading can be a good way to gain experience and knowledge of the market before investing in the long term. By actively trading and monitoring the market, traders can develop a better understanding of the market trends and make informed investment decisions.

However, it's important to note that trading involves higher risk and can be more stressful than investing, especially for beginners. Investors can choose to invest for the long term and benefit from the potential growth of the cryptocurrency market over time.

In summary, both trading and investing in cryptocurrencies require knowledge of the market, and the choice between the two depends on individual preferences, risk tolerance, and investment goals. Traders can use trading as a way to gain experience and knowledge of the market, while investors can choose to invest for the long term and benefit from the potential growth of the cryptocurrency market over time.

Both are risky but trading is more risky. With trading you can lose all your Bitcoin if not careful but with investment it is the worth of your coin that will lose value if the season is bearish. But to be honest both are profitable but the higher the risk the more the profit so i prefer trading a million times over investment. Just that i ensure i trade within my means and keep my profit margin very much realistic.

I am in between investing and trading. I am not a committed trader but a committed investor. Investing is easy, trading is not. Investing makes you a lot of money in the short run, investing doesn't. It is long term. In trading, you learn a lot of skills investing you don't. One is very high risk when compared to the other. During the days I take short breaks from trading, I do more of investing through finding more ways to add more bitcoins other than DCA.

There's flinching nuance that makes the difference between trading and investment, and this nuance is only but a function of time. Mainly when you hear someone telling you he's trading, what comes to mind is that it's just something of a matter of few minutes, hours or at most few days stuff, but unlike investment, immediately you hear the word the first thing that comes to mind is long-term plan. So there's a difference in time set between the two but still they both demand strategy, analysis and experience all for profit making.For anyone to choose to trading or investment, it all depends on what their prospect seems like.

I think the last part is very much important for anyone investing in cryptocurrency i.e. understanding the associated risk. There is no way you will only earn profit in crypto trading. As a trader one must be ready to accept loss. I would say if you are going to invest in crypto trading then best strategy is to invest for long term. The short term trading (day trading) may give you occasional profits but in the long run you will be in loss. Understand the consequences of both short and long term investment in crypto also.

I would say trading is hard and a boring pursuit since you have to discipline yourself and build your skills and strategies for a longer time. In short, you have to make a long preparation before you can be successful in trading, but I would say it’s more profitable and the profits are more massive than pure investing. However, investing is less risky but it also requires a lot of patience and understanding on the coins you invest, otherwise you may end up wasting your time and money into shitcoins. But if you can be good at both, I believe you can be more profitable and more productive in the long run.

I am not sure if I am the only individual who shares the inclination of holding over trading. Personally, I prefer to hold onto investments rather than engage in trading, this concept may be difficult for some individuals to comprehend, particularly newbies without trading experience.
Presently, the market does not appear to yield substantial profits through trading, unless one possesses a large capital that can generate a good amount from 5-10%, but if you have a small capital, trading will not yield significant returns. This is where holding as an investment strategy comes in, you may not reap immediate profits, but rest assured that during bull runs, you will earn substantial returns on your investments.

Both trading and investing in Bitcoin as great experiences but as someone who likes more of being an investor, I'd be biased toward it.
I'd be happy to hold it and be an investor in it for a more extended period of time because I see it as more profitable and it's sweat-free.
But, you do you, if you're a trader and you sees more profit through trading it then that's it but you can't deny the fact that holding it has been so very effective to many folks not just from the forum but also outside of it. And everyone can testify how they have been blessed holding bitcoin and selling it even not on the peak.

You could actually do both if you'd like to, its not really that something needed for you to choose one if you are really that serious on dealing up with things or you are much aware on how both things do works.

We know that there are people who could really make out their investment decisions since you arent really doing something through it and just simply been holding for long term.
Some are really that risk taking fellas who do love to engage into something that challenging and someone who do take risks for them to have the more chance on profiting more.
Trading or investment, it doesnt matter because both could potentially bring up some profits if its done well.

Its up to someones choice on what they would really be dealing with because its our money then it would be our own full decision on what are the things
that we've been dealing on.

Investments are, to a certain extent, passive income. And trading is an active income. That is why it is necessary to combine investing and competent trading. Of course, in order to trade successfully, you have to choose a competent strategy, and there is no shortage of mistakes, but persistence always wins.

You are willing to learn but the problem is your brain can't handle it? There are people who are like that but I think it's possible for them to improve. Just continue on what you are doing and your brain will soon get used to it. You will also need to test both trading and investing and see if which gives you better result.

Some people choose trading because there is more action on it. It makes them busy and on top of that is they can make profit immediately. The only known issue is it's not easy as investing. The only disadvantage of investing is that it can take time for one to earn a profit but it's fine to do if you already have your main job and you are busy as investing does not need active monitoring.

Both are good way for make money but you should skills both. Invest can make money but they will take you less more time. But trade can give you profits everyday but you have to expert. Anyway It's up your choice because you can make money from anythink from crypto market which is important skills.

There are also risks associated with both strategies. In investment (long term) you usually buy when prices are down and HODL unless you see your target price while in trading you need to be active all the time. Trading (short term) is best when market is bullish. Trading need skills and not everyone can handle crypto trading well. Even experienced traders find it hard at times to control the wild fire of crypto trading.

There’s always an advantage if you are both knowledgeable and skillful in both aspects. When the market seems unstable, at least you can just focus on long term investing, and when the market is profitable again, you may start trading again for quick profits. However, since the market condition still not favor my trading activity, for now I’m more on long term investing.

This is true, if you could be able to handle up your time well on dealing with both things then it would really be that an advantage because you could really get possible profits or money on both sources specially if you have done well but of course it would really be needing that crucial money and time management when dealing up with these things.If you could be able to bare up such hassle and such time consuming then it would really be that your choice to make. Both things are really that indeed potential on giving out that kind of benefit to make money but of course it would be depending on how well you do able to do such things. Thing here is that you do know on what you are doing and you do know on how to handle up your time well because dealing with both would really be doubling the workload and of course risk taking
to be considered specially when trading and on short period of time.

To be honest, I am more into long term investment due to I have no time and enough experience for daily trading. In addition to that, it is risky to trade and put a large money on altcoins expect few ones who have a huge active community and hype like, Dogecoin and shiba inu .Woefully, the crypto market is full of shitcoins with fake volumes. we should pick the quality ( the ones with solid projects ) over quantity. In my opinion, it is preferable to invest in Top 10-20 cryptocurrencies and put a large amount only in Bitcoin and Ethereum due to the profit in these two digital currencies is guaranteed but in long term. And it is certain that strong bull run will be achieved in next year after Bitcoin halving

Is there anything different between both of these terms, For trading as well you need to invest some amount of money and investment can be anything in commodity, in security in an asset, or in any currency. It's all about the use of the term which makes them different. In my view what you are trying to say here is trading vs Holding. Because in trading we usually check out the timeline and in Holdings timeline doesn't matters.

my choice is of course investment  ;).
in a bearish time investing is a good time to invest the reason is very easy because indeed a lot of altcoins fall to very cheap prices,
if you are lucky then you can have an ROI of up to 1000%, as long as you don't choose wrong altcoin for investment then you can succeed.

I think trade is hard. It takes long time to learn and it also need long time to track movement of coin. Trade Isn't for all. on the contrary its kind of easy to invest (for example, with top coins without worries). The advantage of investment is, anyone can invest without knowledge But earning Isn’t so easy. Investors also need to analysis a lot before invest with any project. I like investment

Talking about profits, it is clear that trading will make us profitable in a short time, it's just that it's worth the risk. Meanwhile, investing requires a longer time if we want to make a profit, but the risk is also lower. A natural thing, when the risk is greater, the money we will get will also be faster, conversely the risk is lower, so we must be prepared to wait longer.
But my advice is don't look at how quickly we get profits, because if you talk about it, then everyone wants to get profits fast. For me personally it's better to wait longer, but the risk we bear is lower.

Good question!
Trading yes and no! Investment yes and no!!
It's a matter of how vast you are in knowledge of what to trade on if you want to go into trading because you don't want to make losses you must be sure you' know your onions' in trading so that you can make profits... sometimes it takes few losses to gain massive profits and if you dabble in a trading without enough knowledge you'd make lots of losses

For investment, you need to be sure of what you want to invest on and how profitable it is. Sometimes getting a good investment platform is also a big problem so you must watch out carefully for bad sites and scammers. Recently there has been some bad site who eloped with hundreds of thousands of dollars all in the name of arbitrage trading and yeah, that's what investing wrongly can cause but still and still some persons who invested wisely and early comers benefited. But getting a good investment platform is the problem although we have tonnes of them out there .
Trading and investment are both cool. You have to be sure the one with minimal risk and maximal profit within the shortest possible time and go for it.

Trading is simpler with good trading tools but difficult with advanced tools. It's like a level, the more steps you take, the higher your position in the market. Trading is seen as one of the tasks with full risks from the market, I'm not settling down for lesser money this year, afterall I've widen my knowledge and capable of distributing my profits from the crypto market. Investment is one of the key basis of crypto, it enchance our money and gives us back in 50x or even 100x depending on the bull run up of the project. Investment with solid roadmap injects good profits.

I don't think most people actually DCA as it's been talked about, if we were all DCA then we won't be complaining of been in loss whenever the bears market comes. If we have been buying from the lows all the way up then we should be in profit in any market condition but that's not the case because many people are buying at the top and then the market dumps on them.

People love risks and that's why we have more of traders than investors, investing and holding looks boring to them but they forget that the boring investment strategy is the best and people like Warren Buffett the Chairperson of Berkshire Hathaway has been using that method for decades now and successful.

In this case, everyone has a different view. many people consider trading and investing to be the best way to make money to date. However, both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. So, everyone will choose a different path regarding this, but not a few people will choose both.
IMO, trading has the potential for faster profits than investing, but the risk is greater. and vice versa, that investment has a low risk, but has a slower profit potential than trading. at this level, people's opinions will differ, because everyone has their own risk limit.
Personally, I prefer investing, I think it is saving in a better way. however, I also still continue to trade even though I am not as focused as I am investing.

Trading calls for thorough comprehension, extensive research, and the acquisition of certain skills, but investing may not necessitate such expertise. The best course of action when investing in bitcoin is to purchase and hold for as long as you like. Longer-term holding typically yields more profits.
The only difficulty you might run into in investing is when you wish to invest in alternative coins. This is because there are so many alternative coins being created, and many of them are being created to defraud people. Therefore, one must exercise extreme caution when selecting an alternative to invest in to avoid becoming a victim of fraud.

When you truly understand what you are doing, trading might be more successful and wouldn't require as much time as investing.

It can be said that both have advantages and disadvantages, and the choice will depend on the capabilities of each person. But do you agree with me that the people who get rich in this market are mainly investors instead of traders? Bitcoin billionaires are primarily early adopters and long-term holders, I haven't heard of anyone who became a millionaire by trading bitcoin. Therefore, I would also prefer long-term investing over day trading. The only downside in investing is that we need to hold it for a long time to get a profit, unlike trading, the profit comes daily.

If you want to be actively trading the market day in and day out, then go for day trading or swing trading. Make it as a career not just a hobby. Being profitable in the market takes a lot of commitment more than you imagined.

If you have a longer time horizon and you want to leverage it the fact that you are young. You don't want to miss the opportunity to make money out of the market. You may still get involved by doing investing.

Regardless of what you chose between the two, you still need to educate and equip yourself with necessary knowledge before taking the risk of getting in the market. All things come with a cost. The are no shortcuts.

That easy. Both take responsibility since it involves your hard-earned money. Find what works for you by experience and time will tell you what you should continue and what to put off. Don't stress out too much.

And take note, it's not all about money. It's about the life you want to live. Chose one that fits you. Not what other people told you.

Investing had always been my first choice. It's too simple. You buy and then you stash it. If the value increase, you only have two options, sell it or keep it and wait for another value increase if you think there's still room for improvement.
Trading is an exhaustive method of making money and technical analysis should not be something to underestimate. It requires a lot of knowledge about the history of what you are trading which means you will dig deep into the behavior of your selected coin. Then, there is the stressful environment of unknown fluctuations and it could go bad if you are not fast enough to save your investment. There's more to it, different strategies, time frames on where it's most active, and other stuff. It's chaos.
So the obvious choice for those who don't have enough time to do all that is buy and hodl.

We as people always have a tendency, whether it is to speculate in the market or invest, whatever the inclination, I would advise going and reading books and studying everything you can, because this is learned, the more information you have, the better , but in my personal opinion it is always good to know and do both, putting more effort into what the person who is inclined to speculate on the market or investment likes the most, but I see both activities as very good and that should be learned .

I always prefer investment over trading, but that is personally about me and nothing about other things. I know that it is going to change a lot when the time comes but we should not be shocked at trading becoming a lot better, and there are some people who can trade and make a lot more money for sure.

However, consider this, if I buy at 40k, and it goes to 60k and drops to 20k and goes back to 40k, I broke even right? Yet when trading, I may buy at 60k and sell at 20k and make a huge loss, or buy at 20k and sell at 60k and triple my money that way. This means that the same market could have so many different results for so many different people and I fear that it would be a long time before I could be the good one, so I stick with the investment.

I will prefer to trade because it is one thing send blood through my veins. And this isn't  because
there is no risk attached but in trading teaches me more about myself, and I get to experiment with different things.
This does not necessary mean that I wont invest or I don't wish to invest. I just enjoying trading and have to trade a bit more to understand the market and also
 have some more money before investing in bitcoin.

Trading requires a higher level of dedication than other jobs do, so traders shouldn't invest in a coin without first researching it. This is because some altcoins are only available for a brief period of time, allowing their owners to profit from them. This doesn't necessarily mean that the projects are scams; rather, it just means that they are short-lived projects. However, if you discover that the project concept will endure for a number of years, you can invest in that coin.

They are both essential but investment gives more confident and reduces tension from you being the investor maybe you can only panic whenever you noticed your investment isn't going the way you planning it, whereas trading is more time consuming and it requires you to read and study lots of things and  also being active to monitor your market is another stress join than just investing once and looking at the maturity period.
Don't quote me wrongly because same principle in trading is also applicable to investment but it doesn't consumed your time but if you must keep yourself busy then involving yourself with the both is more better.

If you havent heard of then you didnt really just know that there are ones who do make themselves millionaire on being a trader but of course this doesnt only limit out on Bitcoin but also in other coins as well. They
might not be able to get it in one go but they would really be doing it on accumulation of their profits which it could really be that possible but just as said it would really be just basing on people capacity or capability on doing things because if you wont really be making such risks or move, then you wont really be having that kind of chance on hitting up the status.

When it comes in choice about investment or trading then it would be entirely depending on you.Just like said that not all people would really be having the skills on making up trading but eventually
you could really learn on that and start on making some move but if you arent that really that confident, then you could always be having that kind of choice on which
one you would be taking on.

Trading is also included in investment. Even then in my opinion what you trying to explain that case I think tradimg  will be better in todays times. Because here you don't have to face various kinds of issues whether if you doing investment you must have to do . So in this case if you wanna do trading will be a plus point for you. But it should be also in mind that trading have high volatilities so it is highly risky investment so without any good knowledge it should be also a wise decision to starting trading.

In my opinion, the best choice is investing with elements of medium-term trading. 

You periodically buy Bitcoin for investment purposes.  At the same time, when the price rises very much, you sell part of your Bitcoins, and when the price of the first cryptocurrency drops critically, you buy Bitcoins. 

This strategy, in my opinion, allows you to maximize your profits.

When choosing between trading and investing, you need to understand the difference between them. Trading is the buying and selling of assets for a short time in order to profit from price differences. Investing, on the other hand, is focused on a longer period and is aimed at capital growth.
Trading can be profitable if you have experience and knowledge in the financial markets, as well as the right strategy. However, it also comes with a high level of risk, as asset prices can change quickly, which can lead to large losses. Trading requires a quick response to market changes, so it may not be suitable for those who do not have enough experience and knowledge.
Investing, on the other hand, is geared towards long-term capital growth and is less subject to short-term price fluctuations in the market. However, this also does not guarantee high returns and is associated with the risk of capital loss.

This is an interesting take since I agree that investing is still much safer way of getting profit in the long term. In trading, you do really have bigger risks all the time since the market is really volatile and the prices are sometimes unpredictable that we are caught off guard with a lot of losses. But, this has more opportunity to earn more profit as well if you are knowledgeable enough and experienced enough to take advantage of the market regardless of its position. All in all, both has its own risk, so you just have to choose what works for you and how much risk are you willing to take.

If it is about Bitcoin, I think it is better to invest than to trade it. I almost never trade Bitcoin because I can't get enough profits by trading Bitcoin since I only use small money. While trading in altcoins, I can get enough profits because altcoins are more volatile and can move the price quickly. Bitcoin price just grows gradually and it is not very significantly moving.

Investing and trading both have risks. some people who are willing to take bigger risks and have skills will choose to trade. whereas those who feel more secure for long-term investments will not do anything with their assets according to the investment plan they are doing.
I do both, separating investment assets and trading assets. but I am more satisfied with the results of the investment. don't know why, maybe because I'm not very good at trading yet.

Especially in the case of investment, the profit is the highest because if you buy at a low price and hold for a long time, you will definitely get more benefits. For example, in the beginning of 2003, the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum, BNB and all other coins were low in the month of January, but now everything has changed in the month of May and the price is much higher. So I think the profit will be more in investing than trading.

Skilled people will choose trading since they can control the money they can spend out on the coins they want to trade. Also they can work with the market movement to gain or if bad luck came they can recover this by some of their tactics made. I also do both but I am more into trading since this is I think can generate real profit and we can minimize the risk if we just follow the current market trend, compare on solely investing on platform without doing anything where chances that the owner of the site will run and stole our money without leaving us any cents.

Perhaps, it's true and I'd never use BTC trading pairs until I notice that it was not profitable compared to altcoins.
And I see that BTC is just only for long-term investment, not really cool for trading. Because in investment, we don't need to have a very volatile coin but what we need is a project that will certainly grow and increase its price in the long run, and this is how we know about Bitcoin. But in trading, we need to consider how volatile it was and seems to see that Bitcoin doesn't have that kind of behavior now.

Not all altcoins are the same, there are some that almost repeat the movements of bitcoin, respectively, trading them is almost the same as trading bitcoin. But there are also significantly volatile altcoins and it is obvious that they can bring great profits, but at the same time, the risks for your funds are higher.

I am still very careful about trading is and I continue to invest in bitcoin, because I see a much greater benefit for myself in this. Buying bitcoin seems like a safer investment to me because I don't have the risk of losing it in a trade, and bull market I will get a profit from my investment.

Usually, altcoins depend on the price of Bitcoin, no matter what it is. That's what I noticed when I kept looking at the chart. When Bitcoin goes up, the altcoins go up too, except for USDT, BUSD, USDC because they are stable coins. If you see coins whose price does not increase even though all altcoins have increased, there is a high chance that it is a scam, but not all of them. But if there are altcoins that are going up even though the price of Bitcoin is down, for me it is strong altcoins. That's why it's good to invest on that coin because the demand is very high, how much more if the price of Bitcoin goes up, there is a very high possibility that the price of that coin will multiply.

Surely the investment will be like that, buy at a low price, hold and sell at a high price. But finding coins or assets like that is not as easy as what is said, there will be things to learn, analyze and so on. But the risk of investing is much lower than when trading. In trading once we are wrong in analyzing the market, then in a matter of seconds we will burn. I would recommend investing, rather than trading, especially for beginners who still don't know everything about this space.

I agree with that as I also preferred to consider Bitcoin as an investment rather than using this for trading pairs.
Not only because I don't like it but its of how it moves and is less volatile compared to altcoins, therefore, I would say that it never suits it. The high volatility of Altcoins seems to be its advantage as it generates more profit than using Bitcoin. In fact, major traders do not often use this as their trading pairs but instead, they are using more altcoins preferably new and hyped projects.

My take between investing and trading is that for one to stay with what is working for you. Do not say that your friends are doing trading and it's working for them so, you'd join them. And when it doesn't work you keep moving.
 My take is that you should be patient, observe, study and know what your strength and weakness are with regards to both of them and then when you have found out, play to your strength.

Investing can be a good option for those who are not comfortable with the volatility and risks associated with trading. Investing involves buying an asset with the expectation of holding it for a longer period of time and benefiting from its growth over time. It is generally considered to be less risky than trading, as it does not involve buying and selling assets in a short period of time to make quick profits.

That means we have to know which one is right for us to work optimally and get more profit. If you choose to invest, you must have the patience to hold on to your coins and try to do other things that might benefit you. And if trading is what you choose, you must learn to analyze and study the necessary indicators to enter the market at the right time. But everything requires a process to have the expertise and ability to determine what we choose, so we must have patience.

Gotta confess, cracking the code of Bitcoin and altcoin jiggles is like solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded! Sure, altcoins often play follow-the-leader with Bitcoin's price, but there are maverick coins that defy this dance, leaving us scratching our heads.

In my humble estimation, we gotta be on our toes, stalking market trends like a cat on the prowl – Bitcoin's shenanigans, altcoin high jinks, and juicy news tidbits. Plus, let's throw our weight behind coins boasting sterling performance records and a fan club that puts Beliebers to shame.

However, let's also embrace the fact that the market might just toss a curveball our way. Don't shy away from flexing those investment strategies like a bendy yogi. By staying agile and open-minded, we boost our odds of striking gold in this wild, ever-morphing market playground.

In this case, I suggest looking at the activities of each person, trading and investing in Bitcoin have their respective advantages and disadvantages, especially in terms of making a profit or loss. btw, seeing that my activities in the real world are quite busy, I prefer investing over trading (I mean daily or weekly trading) therefore I have to work hard to manage my finances well so that the investments I make can bring me profit. while investing, I also do monthly trading, when the price goes up I will sell a few percent gradually then when the price goes down, I will also buy a few percent gradually.

In my opinion Investment and Trading are equally risky. Where if we do without good research and strategy, we will lose our capital.

But besides that, both are also able to provide benefits.

More simply, why don't you simplify your goals first. In my personal opinion, if the money you use is really free and is intended as an investment. Investment by way of DCA buy spot in Bitcoin is a great choice. You don't have to be preoccupied with analysis too often and you shouldn't get too overwhelmed if the price of BTC goes down, instead it will be a buying opportunity.

Trading side..You really have to be in control of yourself. Don't follow emotions. I'm not a good trader, but I want to remind you that controlling yourself over the market is the most difficult thing. So beware!

Both are fine to pursue as long as you can get a worth return for your effort.
But each of us has different plans and paths in this industry even though the main aim is to make profit. So no problem, for me trading and investing is fine.

Traders expect quick profits, I mean they utilize their skills to profit from price volatility in a shorter time frame than investors. Some traders will take profits several times a day, while others will do so for several days depending on how big their profit target is. Investors are different, they will expect returns over a longer period of time, and this varies from one investor to another. Some investors expect profits between cycles, while others do not specify when to take profits. In essence both ways are risky, but I tend to recommend long-term investing for most people instead of trading if they don't have the skills to trade.

Some times trading is good and some times holding is good.When market fall or get crash then have to invest on top coin or token for long time. I believe it will be profitable  and will give good return. Such as i bought some token and coin in deep and i will hold it for long time. I will wait for bull market. Some times trading give profit but i think holding is best. Because i am huge profited fron long time investment.

There are different types of traders, some are good on both bull and bear they can use future trades to compensate their trades whatever the directions of the market will take place, though both long and short can be perform depending from each traders strategy they can earn as long as they understand and they have the right sets of knowledge to perform their trades.

In terms of investment, there are traders who also use this venue for investing traders who focus on long-term achievements.

They are willing to take the long ride and be compensated up to the maximum potentials of the project that they choose as the medium of their investment.

I try to do both. First, I will invest in some price point which will give me a small to average profit in a midterm plan. Then I will use the profits to trade later on.
That way, I can keep the main balance as it is and use the profits to continue my journey in trading. When I make profits in trading, I will put back the previous profit earned from investment back to the invested asset. And hold for a more midterm profit (based on analysis). Then I use the profits earned from trading to trade more. This way, the amount I lose in trading will not have any effect over all my assets.
This is just how I do things. If it is helpful to anyone, let me know.

Prefer making an investment more than trading.Trading is more risky and involved lots of losses but making a very good investment can easily results into profits,knew many people who make alot by investing in altcoins ,some made thousands investing in good stocks. Think investment if made in the right place is far more profitable than trading.

You have something to know that trading is too risky and will certainly incur losses as possible if you are not carefully doing this. In fact, even if you have a long experience in trading sometimes you will still lose because there is no exemption in this.

What you gonna do OP is to assess yourselves first if you are really capable enough to trade that is why I encourage you to try to know it. But if you think you're not, I would say holding is the best option. Why? It is not stressful and you could really have some peace of mind, unlike when you are in trading where your decision is very important and too much pressure.

choosing tokens in falling market conditions is not good. you may be more at ease when allocating the investments you hold in Bitcoin. it will be more convenient for you. but if you prefer altcoins, maybe you should be careful with your choice. not all top market altcoins will keep your investment value well.
sometimes people do both, but some are more dominant and lucky in one of them. maybe those who are not very good at trading will prefer to hold their assets to wait for the pump. but those who like to trade with short profits, tend to be impatient when it comes to holding assets for the long term.

Trading or investing - this question cannot be answered unequivocally. It's better to invest not in a falling market (although who knows when the market will stop falling; maybe right after you invest, the market will start rising?), but you can always trade. So it all depends on the decision point here.

If you do go prefer on long term then - INVESTMENT
If you do like to play with the price movements - TRADING
If you do have the ample time and could put some effort - BOTH

You could actually accumulate funds for long term holds or act as an investment on the time that you do make out some profits of your trading.It is actually just that basing or
on your plans because you cant really that able to be that progressive if you wont really be making some action. This is why you should really be that careful
and mindful when it comes to your decisions.

More volatile altcoins can offer greater returns, but altcoin movements don't follow any rules. Most of them are manipulated, so the analysis is hardly effective, especially the new altcoins, which don't have any data to analyze. I'm not a professional trader either, but I think bitcoin trading is better than altcoins. At least the movement of bitcoin depends on supply and demand, macroeconomic news, and past developments... from there, we will have an overview and can make predictions about the future of bitcoin. Unlike altcoins, its movement is completely dependent on the manipulation of market makers.

Trading or investing these two basically depend on the market conditions. If a person feels that he has a good understanding of all aspects of trading and also has a suitable financial condition for trading then he can trade. Here the person must be well informed about the loss before trading. We know investing in cryptocurrencies is risky that can be trade or investment. But on a comparative analysis the investment certainly seems quite reasonable to me. When a person invests for a long period of time he will have no worries about the market. Moreover, it is also possible to earn large profits on investments for a long period of time. But in the case of investment, you have to invest in a suitable platform. Trading is a high risk activity where a small mistake can lead to big losses.

I think it would still work if you try to look for futures. Since there are x10 or x50 or x100 and some more, that means you could make volatile deals. If that is all you look for of course, that is why most people prefer bitcoin futures instead of altcoins, sure altcoins are volatile but they are unreliable as well, whereas bitcoin is not as volatile as some of the low caps, but if you use x100 then it is as volatile as it gets and you could lose it all in a minute.

Plenty of people turned thousands of dollars into millions of dollars within a few months only by just doing high leverage during bull run, that should be considered a good deal and I hope that many people start to learn that easily as well. I personally feel like we will have plenty of people get rich using leverage during next bull run as well.

It is absurd to say that bitcoin trading is not more profitable than altcoins. As you said, if you want to make a lot of money and take risks, then using leverage will fulfill that need. I seriously doubt it when someone says they can make a profit from trading altcoins but can't make a profit from trading bitcoin.

And I don't think trading will be able to make more money than investing. I have not seen anyone who can become a millionaire or a billionaire through trading, mostly from investing. You can make high profits from trading, but there is no guarantee that you will always win and never lose. But with investment and holding that becomes easier.

It is normal for a person involved in crypto to hold Bitcoin for his future. There are many people who try to hold on to Bitcoin for the long term. But I think it is best to invest for a long time because investing in Bitcoin will definitely give you a good profit in the future. If you invest for a long time then you don't need to worry about it later as the market grows massively and you can be successful in investing. so for me long term investment in Bitcoin seems to be the best choice. Good skills and experience are definitely required to make daily profit by trading

Trading requires a lot of hard work and a lot of time to earn daily. In that case, many times it will be seen that huge losses have been faced, but I think it is not possible to earn daily by trading and sometimes there may be losses. But it would be better to invest and hold Bitcoin for the long term than I would spend trading. So I personally prefer long time investment which will give a good profit in future.

Psychological factors and money management are very important for investing and trading. It is very important to stay up to date with the market or the coins you own, especially for investments which I don't think it's advisable to simply buy and then forget about and especially for the long term.
investing and trading both have risks but are very vulnerable to trading and it all depends on each other's expertise, but long-term investments only have a small risk because as long as you don't have good profits then you will continue to hold them until you actually get big profit especially on bitcoin. But it takes patience and a strong belief that in the future you will get big profits, and these are two very important things to instill in yourself.
and traders can also get very large profits, but it depends on how big the amount you are trading and also the potential of the coins you are trading.

I hope what you say will come true when the bull run finally arrives. But we know that altcoins investment has a very high-risk percentage for anyone who tries to do it.

Although, when the altcoins are timed to suddenly kick the value in the market, the investors will suddenly get rich for sure, and many people get really rich here. That's why the cryptocurrency market is unpredictable, that's the problem no one knows.

I choose trading because l tend to earn profits more quicker than investment which I believe is usually a long term perspective before a reasonable profit can be earned meanwhile to avoid taking a high risk in trading I only traded with 5% of total portfolio while aiming 1:2 risk to reward ratio.

Yes I have enough time to analyze the chart watch out for trading opportunities as well as learning and gaining more trading skills whenever I am done for the day thus to add up my experience which I believe is more preferable to investment, in case of incurred loses I usually scan through the reason for such losses.
The best bet is trading Bitcoin however it is highly risky and not for every Tom Dick and Harry, however a newbie is expected to start with investment first thereafter if time permits such a newbie can start learning how to trade Bitcoin of course there are plenty available trading resources online, however it will take a lot of efforts and time to consistent in profit earning.

I think trading is the best option. Investing is very patient and tiring and mentally exhausting work. I have been investing since December 2021. Till date my money is stuck. My 2000 dollar reduced to 400 doller. dollar. Then I started trading. In three months I have made good profit. I buy for short term and sell when I get proper profit And I am tension free.so for in my openion trading is better then investing.

Investing will lead to trading, so if you can be more good in investing, that will also mean you can be more profitable in trading too.  However, not all are gifted like this. Some just excel in investing, but fail in trading, and others are vice versa. So my suggestion, never complicate yourself in a certain thing that you are not comfortable of doing. But if you’re good at both, it’s a bonus. That will make you earn bigger profits in time.

It will help you to earn more if you already learned how to trade and gained knowledge about where to invest. The advantage is, you can't make big profit within overnight but what is possible with trade. Trade is a way that helps you increase your capital continuously. Thus you can invest more than before. Thats why i try to choice both but i prefer investment Over trade but I'm still learning

Basically the two methods are investing and trading returns at the level of risk faced and incurred by users or investors, both have different understanding and level of behavior.
1. Small risk investment, except in terms of price reductions, but if you choose a potential crypto like Bitcoin, chances are that the risk of loss is small.
2. Trading, it has a high risk understanding, basically the user must have knowledge in trading in the crypto market.

The two methods have different options, but for me investment is a good choice, especially when the crypto market is in a bear market. I don't have to worry too much when it comes to losses.

Trading is like a business where a trader buy and sell a coin or token regularly and take profit and investment also should be in earning purpose. Investment is always long term but trade is both short term and long term.  An investment aims to make huge profits but in trading, small profits are also taken. So although the purpose of trading and investment is the same, there is a difference in mindset.

Who said that?
trading is better than the Inestment I think the sentence itself is wrong because you can't make a profit by trading as far a long-term investor can make because in day trading or whatever your trading timeline is you will face 30 to 70 40 to 60 or even 50 to 50 loss to profit ratio. On the other hand, an investor seems to be free of such results. In trading you need to spend full time n the market at the same time while you are a long-term investor you need an initial strong analysis and the outcomes can even reach 100x of the investment with luck. At the same time, trading doesn't have such huge profit potential.

Trading cant be compared to the long run investments because both are highly different approaches.

Self-preference indeed. Try to find your own forte.

Either trading or investment, it depends on our interest and eagerness to pursue those. Aside from that, knowledge plays a big role. Not because we saw someone successful on either trading or investment, we can have the same result. Damn, always be serious and study all the associated risks on either of those.

As responding to the subject, I prefer investment over trading but it doesn't mean I won't try both.

In terms of crytocurrency I personally prefer investing more than trading, have made much profits investing in altcoins than I have ever made in my trading journey. Though it is very important to have trading skills as an investor cause it will help you in knowing when to invest and when to exist and take profits. Overall, investing is a lot more easier for me.

You know, you need to learn to invest first before you decide to trade. Starts with the basic first before you proceed into a much riskier source of profit. And when you think you’re good at both, then you could have both investing and trading for you to gain and earn more so you can benefit the most. However, know that there’s no guarantee that once you’re good in investing, you will also be successful in trading. These two are still very different. So you have to stick on where you find it easier to be profitable than to keep trying hard and all you gain are just failures and losses on your part.

This is what we called finding the place where we think we can perform so well. Because if we are not good at trading, it was very impossible that it will give profit compared to investing. If someone showed us his huge profit in trading we can't just simply think also that we can be like him as well because that will depend on us.

For me, either of the two, both of them are profitable but that still depends on how we manage our funds.
 -skill. knowledge, capital - these are the factors that would affect the result whether it was trading or investing.

In order for me to reduce my risk on both sides, I'd like to combine both trading and investment but preferably I will go for investment because trading very risky, it also requires a lot of knowledge, time, and dedication, and with that  all this I can say trading is not for everyone.In contrast to investing, which requires which you can start with little knowledge and again investment doesn't even require time.trading is difficult to do unless you have the necessary requirements.I will choose investment for all of these reasons.

With investments, I can spend more time on other activities and don't have to constantly worry about my money. Time is the most crucial consideration I prefer investment.

well, we don't know if someone will be more inclined to investing or trading, but both ways are proven to be good at increasing income. Apart from that, from investing and trading, both of them also have examples of successful people, so it depends on our choice.
Besides that, instead of being confused about investing or trading, it would be better if we could combine the two. we don't know where the best potential is when we only choose one of them. each person will give different results depending on their respective techniques and strategies.

It's not bad, but there are also certain points that should be strengthened, for example, if the person is quite patient and doesn't care about what is said in the news, I think that his nature is clearly towards investment, but if he is a person that all the time he is aware of each market movement, it is possible that his vocation is market speculation and there it is something very extensive, because he can specialize in various market speculations, such as intraday, scalping, among others, in change the investment is to put money and wait.

actually both are beneficial but it depends mostly on the desire of a person that in which thing he is good, sometimes people earn large sum of money with trading and sometimes people who hold for longer time become unable to earn due to lack of understanding and patience. Holding is better but not for those who cannot wait more for the better results and also for those who don't have an extra amount of money for saving but use money of daily uses.

The choice between trading and investment depends on one's personal preferences, risk tolerance, time availability, and expertise. Some individuals may find trading exciting and enjoy the hands-on approach, while others may prefer the relatively passive nature of long-term investment. It's essential to thoroughly educate oneself about both approaches, understand the associated risks, and consider your own skills and circumstances before deciding which path to pursue.

before choosing between the two, it is better to understand the characteristics between trading and investing, so that we can determine which one to choose. for me choosing both would be better, especially for trading, if later I become a pro trader, then I can meet my daily needs from trading results, and the results from investments can be used as savings. it is not easy to trade, because it has complex problems. but I think enjoying the process will be better, and when it's time to retire, we can still make daily money from the trading business. most people who fail to trade because they give up, of course we can take lessons from all of that, because the learning process is not in a short time

That also means that even if you’re good in investing, it won’t give the same positive result in trading. Investing is risky, but trading is more risky and complicated so you can’t expect to become successful and profitable from trading easily. That’s the reason why a lot of us here just settle for investing alone and leave trading for those professionals in it. Otherwise, trading will only waste your money and effort especially if you’re not really capable to succeed on your trades.

Both are risky but they do have that different level of risks which is something that should really be realized on someone who do really tend to make out some engagement whether on investment or making up some trading. If you could be able to bare up with the risk then it would really be just that fine, it is really just that a matter of preference on which place you would be seeing yourself to be able to bare up with the risks.
We do have our own choices to make and actually we could do both things as we do like. We can trade and the profits made would be put up into investment which would be holding up for long term.
With this then you could really be possibly on having a double benefit if things turns out to be good. This is why it would really be just depending on you on how you would really be handling
out your investment or trading decisions.

One things for sure in regarding about the target is on having that benefits on getting profits in due time but of course dealing with these things cant really be that so simple.

You are right, trading helps increase your funds or capital, but that's only when you are good at trading. But you (@Nazmul012) forgot to also add that trading is also a means of losing your capital in some market conditions, but not just that; whether it's a professional trader or a newbie, losses must surely be encountered, but for just investing, you have all your tokens stored in your software or hardware wallet for more security purposes. Only when you sell cheap, that's when you loss.

There is this common principle I derived: "Most traders are holders, but not all holders are traders." It's not yet a proven fact, but there are quite a few Bitcoin traders who specifically have some Bitcoin they are storing in their wallet, which they don't use to carry out their trade. Some times, when they make a profit, they send some Bitcoin to that special Bitcoin wallet for future storage, but logically, not every Bitcoin holder is a trader because trading is so stressful to them that it will only result in them losing their Bitcoin, so they don't engage in trading.

For me, trading and investing in cryptocurrencies have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between the two really comes down to individual preference, risk tolerance and time commitment. For the choice between trading and investing in cryptocurrencies depends on individual goals, risk tolerance, and time commitment. If you are willing to take more risks and dedicate time to actively managing your portfolio, trading may be a better option for you. However, if you prefer a more passive, lower-risk approach and are willing to wait for long-term growth, investing may be the way to go.

I prefer to do invest and sometimes trade, because sometimes investing is bored specially when we are waiting for our investment to become bullish it sometimes takes a year to get profit, while we are waiting for our profit from the investment we can trade and earn weekly or monthly, this is both risky but it is the only way to get profit from crypto.

Trading involves buying and selling financial instruments (such as stocks, bonds, commodities, or currencies) within shorter time frames, often taking advantage of price fluctuations. Traders can adapt quickly to changing market conditions and take advantage of short-term opportunities. However, in the case of investments, the investor keeps the assets for a long time in order to influence the market and profit from them when necessary. i.e., when some time has passed or when they need. Some individuals may prefer a combination of both trading and long-term investing, while others may find success focusing on one strategy. I think instead of investing, trading is more beneficial.

Investing and holding can be boring, but it is safer than trading and suitable for more people, trading is not for the masses. Moreover, to make a profit from trading, you need to have a lot of knowledge and skills, and it can take a long time to practice before starting to make a profit. While if you just invest and hold for the long term, you don't need too much advanced knowledge, and you will have plenty of time to do other things. It can be said that depending on the preferences and circumstances of each person, we have the right choice.

This is true, we can definitely do both of them and that is what I have done so far in my life as well. I had some great investments back in the day based on pure luck, not because I was great at it or anything but because I was just lucky and nothing more. But then at the end of the day, it resulted with me getting something much better on the long run and this meant that I could be just focusing on anything that would be radically easy because my investments turned into trading as well, just a small part, and sometimes I made money off them and sometimes I lost money off them.

This is how I approach it today and I do make some good profit based on that as well. This is why I highly suggest start with investment and the more you earn, the easier it would be to use those profits for trading.

I follow that same sentiment, trading is more risky that investing though same with how you see the point, there are experts who are capable to work with both short and long trades and continue to profits, while there are also traders who waste both their time and money as they can't find the right pattern to attain winning trades.

Investing might be your good option if you don't want to complicate yourself. Just buy the asset you believe that will grow, then wait for the time when your set target sell position already being reached to enjoy your profits.

Thread seems old. but I am excited to explain my view. I think, Both option are good, depending on person and his management skill..for me, due to my busy schedule i always be  priority  to investment rather than trading, even trading always seems risky to me. If you invest top altcoins as well as some valueable worthy altcoins, then will make profit whinin few years as cryptocurrency sector is spreading daily and growing up so fast. As well as you don't need to be worries but trading will always give you a little worries, wrong management can make you face huge loss. Although it depends on what suits you most according to your condition  

If I have to choose among trading or investment then I will go with investment. To me, profit only comes via investment as I have tried short term trading and failed miserably there. Short term trading is not for me atleast. The only down side of investment is no defined period of waiting. You have to wait for weeks, months or may be years to see profit. Its better to invest in bitcoin rather then alts as they are heavily dependent on bitcoin for price moment. 

I would also choose to invest instead of trading, and like you, I have lost so much with trading. But sometimes, I still trade if I see a profitable opportunity for me.

Regarding investing in altcoins, I don't see anything wrong with investing in them, although they may be riskier than bitcoin, their return will also be greater than bitcoin. Investing in altcoins is not too bad, but we should only invest when we are ready to take risks and have enough knowledge and experience to choose potential projects. Do not invest in them blindly and rely on luck like gambling, everything requires specific knowledge and planning.

Trading is not easy to do because we have to master the strategy in carrying it out. When we are not able to navigate trades properly then the result will make us lose at some point and that's why people prefer investing rather than trading. Trading strategies are also difficult for us to learn when we are not involved in them and trying to learn from various sources sometimes we cannot fully use them because market conditions can change so quickly when we are in active trading.

I'm more used to long-term investing because I think it's easier for us to do and doesn't require a special strategy to make profits in the short term, because basically I tend to hold rather than be active in trading. Trading requires basic knowledge to read market movements and strategies for the assets we trade.

Both trading and investing have their merits depending on a person's goal risk tolerance and timing. Investing is a gradual process of wealth growth. Wealth can never grow without investment. A trader involved in cryptocurrencies must think deeply and decide whether he wants to be a trader or a holder. An investor needs to understand where to invest his funds. You can increase or decrease your invested funds through daily trading. But to become a holder, you must be more patient and you can keep all the funds that you don't need in a very short time or even a long time. And we all know there are more people trading than holders.

because sometimes people have their own skills. but I'm sure those who are currently on the crypto market and own crypto assets must have traded or invested in crypto assets. those who focus more on one of these may have expertise or luck in one area.
those who are lucky in trading are not necessarily also with investment. because the approach and planning that must be built is also different. This is all tailored to the needs and character of that person.

Patience is a virtue; we all have times when we rise and fall, but one thing we must remember is that we must be able to get back up. Trading and investing are both beneficial for us; we have to combine them in order to keep the money stream running. I'm a trader, and based on my research, I believe that trading is more stable than investing. I can trade in minutes or hours, and I'll see the results, either gains or losses. When I invest, I have to wait a certain number of weeks, months, or even years before I can see my returns. One advantage of investing is that it can be used to start a new life by purchasing a home or starting a business.

Investment requires more patience rather than trading, yes it both has risk but trading is riskier indeed and we need to make sure that we are risking to a coin or token that will eventually give us profit in the long run. Investment such as in real estate requires time, though it is lot of patience but it is worthy to wait as well or if you invest in projects as angel investor it is good as well but if I will be choosing, I'll choose to be a trader.

It's true that investing requires patience which not everyone has,
Bitcoin is a safe and viable investment option for the long term without a doubt,
for real estate investment it really requires large capital and for investment it is very suitable.

It usually comes down to personal choice. Investing is considered a safer option than trading. If you want some action in life then you should go for trading. If you have the patience and time for other things then go for investment.
Do a thorough research before making a decision.

I personally focus more on investing, considering that my trading skills are not yet good. by investing, I just hold it until the bullrun comes. especially now that I work as an employee, so for trading I don't get much time. but that doesn't mean I don't trade, I learn to trade but that's for long term goals, considering it's not easy to do, in my opinion. but I'm sure trading can later be used as a preparation after I'm not working as an employee, bearing in mind that of course my productive period in my current field of work certainly has its period, moreover I work as a private sector

Business and investment can be effective strategies for every individual to increase wealth and achieve financial goals. Trading actively involve buying and selling short term to take advantage of market ups and downs, while investing relies on you buying and holding assets for long term growth. On the other hand, both trading and investing have risks as you need to constantly monitor the analyzed knowledge and go through a systematic approach while trading. Investing on the other hand is a long term view, observe with patience and diversification.

Trading is a high risk activity which requires a lot of know how and experience to have any chance of success in the field. This makes it the more dangerous for newbies and I don't exclude that to beginners on the forum but in trading as a fied.
Your met with those that could be said to have been well experience in the field having had a lot of layers on there skin and they can use this.

Investing in a business or even in a project, it doesn't requires a lot of skill but, just some knowledge of how the business environment works and it becomes a matter of the growth level you can attain within a period. Its something you can definitely build on slowly until you attain fast growths.

Having to pick between them both for me would be one with minimal risk and that would be investing in this case.

I come at it from a slightly different angle, that of an investor. If you want to experience the thrill of an action movie in real time, then trading is the way to go. Profits, losses, and a rush of adrenaline all contribute to a healthy dose of curiosity. Feels like you're always making new discoveries! Do you not feel threatened by the uncertainty? The market could be as placid as a dolphin one day and as predatory as a shark the next.

But investing is more like watching a sapling develop. It's a long process, for sure, but the reward of a healthy tree that continues to bear fruit year after year is well worth the wait. Having a reliable source of income is very helpful when beginning a new life or business.

How important experience is in trading and it can't be bought,
experience must be passed through a process that is not certain for a moment,
and the question is whether the beginner can be patient to go through it all because a slight mistake when making a decision will also make you lose.

in investing, we do not need special skills and only need to wait until we see the results of the investments we have. That's a very good advantage, because when people want an increase in the value of their assets, they sometimes tend to think of the least risk. It's just that, the drawback in investing is the slow increase in value that occurs. you may need to wait years to feel the price increase that occurs in the results of your investment, an example is gold. I see a margin that is more than 5 years until you can see that the value of your investment goes above 40%. The same thing also happens with online investments such as crypto, but the risk is a little bigger because we don't know what developments will happen to what we invest in the future.
While trading tends to have a greater risk than investment, it's just that the margin of profit obtained is greater. Trading requires special skills in gathering information, reading charts and more. However, the percentage of profit that can be obtained if we are successful in investing is very large, even within a month you can get very large returns if successful.
However, these two things still have a large number of enthusiasts. everything just needs to be conditioned by their respective circumstances.

I prefer to invest all the time because if one invests at the right time by understanding the market conditions then one can expect to get a lot of good out of that type of investment. But I want to pay attention to the side of trading as well as investing because after investing in a coin for a long period of time I want to trade in later periods. If trading or investment can be done by understanding the market then both are very profitable but we must understand the market first. Those who think that trading or investing will make you rich overnight, then you are wrong because investing will never guarantee that you will become rich. You have to earn your own qualification by earning your own qualification and using that qualification and then you have to dream of earning money from trading or investment only then the dream will come true.

Trading isn't for any individual with minimum knowledge, if any individual goes into trading without having the right information they'll lose. Many individuals have lost millions in the market because of this. Trading is more riskier than investing. Trading demand to be more active in the crypto market because as a trader you depend on news happening in the market to determine if you'll be putting in a buy order or opting out of the market.

Investing requires minimum work and attention. Investing has less risk involved as if you have patience you can always profits from investing in Bitcoin. Investing in altcoins on the other hand has the same risk as trading so unless you're ready to lose it don't do that.

Such a wrong impression though there are lucky people who take the risk and invest during the peak and manage to earn, but it doesn't mean that it will always like that, after that luck and you continue to invest or trade like that you'll find yourself losing everything back, investment or trading needs time and needs the right knowledge to equipt yourself,

along the way you'll find the winning strategy if you take time studying and researching with how the market works and how to anticipate the market condition, either way, both investment and trading can give you benefits if you understand it well.

Of course everything must be based on good knowledge trading or investing and both are the same in my opinion and the level of risk will also be proportional to all the possibilities that will be obtained, it all comes back to oneself to choose and in my opinion there is neither the best nor the worst among both of them.
And regarding the strategy to be able to benefit, it also starts with knowledge before doing something and over time experience will teach you many things, I don't believe in luck, all of that happens because of what we have learned.

And so as investing because there's also lots of scams lying around on this category. From time to time, we will always hear people complaining about how they got scammed. Given that trading is a lot riskier, then it is supposed to be less in-demand than investing.

Also, it was investing is the one that uses fundamental analysis but for trading, they are mostly using technical. Depends on your goal as an investor, if you are only for short term then you are require to monitor your investment actively so that you can sell immediately right after seeing a great opportunity. Not all altcoins are a scam but a pro trader or investor can still be able to play well with the risky alts.

Everyone has a different say when it comes into trading or investing. Although I must say that trading is more promising than investing, but it also depends whether you’re skilled and highly knowledgeable in trading or you only have heart for investing. For me, I chose to do both, and eventually do some trading when I see opportunities to sell and gain higher profits. And investing has always been my first choice, that’s why until now I still do DCA to increase my bitcoin in my portfolio.

Well, it’s clear that if you want to be more stress free and high risk free, then chose bitcoin investment over trading. What you need is just patience and emotional control so you won’t end up investing at a loss. For me, I don’t want to settle on only one when I know I have the potentials to be more profitable when I do both. That’s how optimistic I am especially with trading that will let you experience massive profits as long as you always follow the rule and basics when trading.

Indeed!
This is actually always boils down on someones preference since not all would really be that risks takers and someone who are really get used to being stressed and able to face up those common challenges specially
if you do make out some trades.Its true that it would really be that depending on someones interest because not all would really be that trying out to play safe, even holding for long term doesnt guaranteed safety imho.
In having the choices in between things wont really be necessary specially if you do longing for more income then having both would really be ideal.it would really be just depending on how much risks that you could be able to take or able to bare since not all would really be having this kind of mindset and strong emotion on dealing up with things which are risky.  Choose according on something that you could be able to handle,
mistakes and errors are common but on the time that you do get sufficient experience then you would definitely be able to handle yourself into this unpredictable market.

If you want to be a trader, then you should be ready to learn, as a trader you will always learn, even if you have the right knowledge, then you should be upgrading frequently, trading is not for lazy people, if you are not ready to learn then its just better you don't go into trading because with time you will end up losing money, bitcoin trading is completely different from investment, if you have basic knowledge when you are investing in bitcoin, then its fine, since you will be holding for long term, but in trading you don't only need basic knowledge.

Investing in altcoin is very risky which i wont recommend anybody to do that, but if you are investing in bitcoin, then its less risky. If you can do your analysis and you invest in bitcoin, just make sure you transfer your wallet to a non custodial wallet and secure your private key. But you really need to be careful when trading, trading is not easy compare to investment.

In trading, you can get the possible target outcome in a shorter time frame, unlike with investment. It takes time. That's my personal take and I understand that there are other perceptions and other opinions about it. But if you are into passive benefits and you are not a fan of taking a bigger risk, investment is by far is better than you just buy and hold, then wait for your set target to be achieved.

No longer time to check the market and no hassle in adjusting your position from time to time, compared with trading where you need to check your asset and if the situation calls, you need to adjust or abort your position.

Naturally, because trading is complicated so the stress level might be high,
but that doesn't mean investing is easy because after all it has risks too,
don't expect us to be risk-free when involved in investing or trading.

Basically, the goal of creating interest in both trading and investing is to maximise your money. In trading, you make profits from market fluctuations for a short period of time, usually by buying and selling assets for a few days or a week. To achieve these goals, you have to take into account the fluctuations of the market with skill, discipline, and courage. While investing is a long-term process, you should keep these fundamentals in mind and add your own research and analysis to stay informed. If you have to choose between trading and investing, you must determine your goals.

for a beginner will usually be confused with what they should choose. and then try both. it's a natural thing to look for where exactly his skill and luck are. there are those who really control trade and also investment. but sometimes beginners are not too patient with the investments made so they are more interested in trades that can bring profits in a faster time.
a beginner will feel gradually, until finally maybe both will be done with different goals. investing for long term gains and trading for short term profit planning. most importantly distinguish the assets allocated to trade and investment. so everything won't be confusing.

Trading looks lucrative but its not very easy to tackle. I gave up trading long ago, it may be suitable for some but not for me. If you have to invest in alts then split your capital into two parts, major portion for bitcoin and minor for trading into alts. Price of alts is tightly coupled with Bitcoin so its best to invest in bitcoin as price of alts will only go up with Bitcoin. Take example for Eth for instance there is not even a single instance where Eth has gone up on its own. So better stick with Bitcoin.

investment is indeed more profitable for those who still find it difficult to trade. but it's a shame if we leave trading, at least set aside a little profit to learn trading, considering that by trading we will get daily income, especially for job less. until now I am still in the process of learning to trade even though I often experience losses, even though I work as an employee, because over time trading is like addiction and gets its own pleasure, by analyzing and learning discipline and emotional control, and this will carry over to our daily attitudes we are in the real world

According to me it all depends on you if you have money to invest then plus points for you.Again if you don't have money to invest then you can take up trading as a part time profession.Another thing to remember is that if you have no knowledge of trading, it is wise to first acquire knowledge of trading and then invest.

How do we trade if we don't have money? Both of them needed money, and I am not sure as to why you said that you don't need money in trading. No matter what you choose, both need money to start, and without it, you can't gain any profit from them. Also, doing both is best if you can do it while you have a job, as this increases your chances of gaining profit.

I agree with you.  Actually I missed a bit that I should have said that the money can't be invested at all.  Money is definitely needed to invest.  While working, we do trading as well.

That's the point but not everyone can achieve it. I believe that it is going to be a bit of a trouble to make sure that we end up with a good return, it is going to take a while. I believe that we are going to end up with a trouble one way or another if we are not careful, but the problem is that we can't make a big decision based on that.

I believe that the life we are living right now is a difficult one, and in order to make our life easier we need more money, money itself is nothing, it's like a key, if there is no lock, then the key means nothing at all. But when we are talking about what we can do with the money, that is the lock and then the key means something. In order to do that, we are all taking big risks to enhance our life to that next level.

How long you have been trading? If it's been for too long already and you still didn't improve a lot, I think that only means trading isn't really for you. If yes, then maybe you can decide to quit your job earlier because you know that you can benefit with it more. On your current situation. You are busy but you still can trade when you arrive from work or on your rest days. I think you are a short term trader only because it wasn't your priority.

It's great to have other income streams so that once unexpected happens like we got laid off from our jobs or our term has ended already, we still have something to get while we hunt for another job again.

Trading and Investing, According to me you should choose your investment. Because investing is less risky than trading. And we must choose what is comfortable and less risky for us. If we invest for the long term, we can become much more financially independent. Because long-term investments have less risk potential. Trading on the other hand is high risk. If you don't have enough knowledge about the market status of your trading, you can lose a lot financially from trading. But trading gives much higher returns than investing. If you are ready to take high risk then you can opt for trading. In this you can achieve very much financial success. And if you want to take less risk, you can opt for investing.

You wouldnt really be so dumb for you not to be able to notice out if there are no improvements that you could be having on the long time that you've been trading? For sure you would really be making out
adjustments on the time that you do see that you dont have progress on it. This is why on the time you have notice it out then you would really be deciding on investing instead or would really be going for long term.
When it comes to choices then it would really be your preference because not all would really be that good when it comes to decision making out of their career or path to take. We've seen that
its not really that something simple on making out decisions on something like this. Whats your take? Stick into something which you do seem that it would really be that worth on doing so.

Trading is very difficult as you have to monitor the market all the time. In investing, you buy and forget for a long time. The risk of loss in investing is low while the risk of loss in trading is high. Investment does not require much experience, you can invest in any good project in the market. Whereas in trading you need a lot of experience and knowledge.

 In investing, you don't have to worry about the token price, you get the chance to buy more for less. On the other hand, if your analysis turns out to be wrong in trading or the market falls, then you have to face a lot of trouble. I think good profit can be made in trading but it requires your experience, knowledge and Analysis must be excellent. Whereas in long term investment if your choice is good then you can get good returns. In investing you just have to wait patiently for the long term.

It depends on what we actually wanted, if we are going short time then we should opt in for trading while if we are aiming to go long then the best option is to to on investment, the reason why each person made his choice on which to take depends on their understandings on each and how they can operate their best self confidence in going long or short, the two has their own risk but as you've said, one is more higher than the other.

If we only make a decision based on timing, we are going to end up making a huge loss. Think about it, we are talking about a situation where if you want to trade because you need to make money in quick amount of time, then we are going to end up with a loss that would be very big. We need to be certain that we are doing it because we want to profit, if we put time in there as a must then its going to make it tough. If you want to make a profit and do it quickly, you are going to end up making trades all the time, maybe trades you shouldn't, and maybe amounts that are too large so you profit quickly. Both investment and trading should be slowly taken and give some time.

When you make an investment, the interest is not very high! With tiny agreements per day, you can make a good profit in trading. The most significant thing is that you don't need much money for it.I believe it is entirely dependent on the type of return you seek. Trading involves additional risk, and you must continually be researching the market. I recommend making investments to folks who are not looking for strong emotions.Actually, both are superior, and I do both, but it all depends on how much you want to make from it. If you seek long-term gains, You can invest a portion of your wealth in the stock market, and if you desire daily profits, begin trading with experience and understanding. Don't undertake anything unless you have experience or knowledge, because it could wipe out your investment in a short period of time.

Trading and investing both are useful, but which one is more profitable depends on market conditions. When the market is bullish, any trade can be profitable and when it is bearish, the chances of losing in trading are high. For those who are new I would suggest investing more than trading. Investment relatively less risky than trading. Moreover, an investor does not need to know much to invest. Although taken as a long-term investment, those who keep their wealth in Bitcoin will surely make a profit.

What are the distinctions between these two? In essence, they are both investments, and trading is like a specific investment. What I really understand is that investment is when you are risking your money with returns like holding bitcoin, trading, or other investing like into business, etc. They are both the same, but I think you mean less risky is holding the bitcoin for a long term, which you are correct as most of us really see profit when we hold it for a longer period of time, but trading and investing are one.

some people might tell the difference. or see trading as a form of short-term investment. because of the focus on trading to get profits in a short time. although the profit also depends on the skills possessed by the merchant.
people who don't want to think too seriously about skills, as well as knowledge in trading, prefer long-term investments. the truth is those who make investments also need the same skills and knowledge as trading. Investment also requires planning of the time frame to achieve the desired target price.

You can also trade long term, but it might take time on your end because you need to be in your machine almost all the time to see what is going on. Because if you blink your eye then it could spell the difference between winning and profiting, and losing big time. That's why trading is not for everyone, specially those who doesn't have the time on their end. On the other hand, investing is not that hard, you don't have to spend time, but it's not that exciting as trading. So it's up to the individual, what goal he has and what he wanted to choose between trading and investing.

You need to take more time if you wanted to take this venue for your money, trading is not something that you can easily generate money, that's the wrong conceptions about this venue of investment, there's always a risk that you need to handle, if you know how work with your research and you have that time to study deeper, the chance of making it successful and earning from trading is always possible,

it's a matter of how you handle everything and how you work with your understanding both with investment or with trading to grow your savings.

There is nothing to burst brain with bud, trading and investing are the two major ways people make money in crypto, and for that person who is into crypto full time, nothing stops them from being flexible, by flexible, i mean being a trader and also an investor at the same time, trading is mainly a way to make some daily profit, and part of that daily profit can go into investing in crypto assets you trust will do well in the short or long term.

You dont have to limit yourself to being just a trader or an investor, as long as you have the time , nothing is stopping you or holding you back from becoming both a trader and investor, except laziness or lack of zeal to either trading or investing .

Compared to investment trading is quite risky, you need be active and aware in market in order to survive but in investment you don't need to be active and here risk of losing money is quite low but the term is if you are long term holder, and the simple things you has to done is to buy top coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum etc at any price but DCA should be more like profits to buy small small amount at every dump. Here you will get profit at once but after long time of holding.
Trading is just like everyone know quite risky but if you are able to manage risk management and done some fine technical Analysis then market will be yours, you will get handsome amount of profit on a daily base and you don't have need to wait long.
So the point is that both things is good at thier own place now it's up to you that where you can adjust yourself to get profit.

Trading is not just a single thing that you can put your money in the position whether you want and wait for the result, this still requires an understanding how the trading concept works, its not all about the prediction investment in knowledge is pre-requisite in this thing so if you don't have a proper knowledge your wins could be luck or waste and get burn all of your trades. Trading can be an easy mone with a proper trading plan else this could be the way to lose your asset. Manage your trades with a plan, stick to it, if it works could be good to be consistent if not, makes this as a lesson and change your plan.

Both are risky. Both require financial and psychological risks. It is just a matter of self-preference in accordance with one's lifestyle. There are many types of trading there goes short-term trading, position trading, swing trading, scalp trading. All require more exposure to the market, greater level of management in every transaction you make. Often time the trades pan out for about an hour to days until you take profit.

In a matter of investing, its goal is to create a passive income for the long term. This would take years up to a decade until the investment comes into fruition. So yeah depends on how much exposure you want and how long you want to be in the marketplace.

You know, apart from Bitcoin investment, if any crypto enthusiast invests in other Altcoins, they may really need to be concerned about the market and their investment because altcoin projects usually have interchanging news and updates, and one needs to be very active otherwise the person can easily lose their investment, although it's not like that with every project. Also, DCA is mainly for Bitcoin investment, and when you think that the price of Bitcoin is too high beyond what you expect and you know that there is a likely possibility that it can go above that, then you can DCA while you still hope that the market will still drop, but if really the market dumps, then there might be no need to DCA because you know that even if you buy at that price and the market bounces back, then you will make more profit. Sometimes there are good opportunities for people to buy low, but they just keep waiting for the price to drop more, and at such a point, the market can just Begin to spike again.

You're right and i got your point here, trading is unpredictable and we have to know that what many traders do is to take the bold step in going for it, now it's up to them in deciding wether to go short or long, also using many trading strategies we have, we can see that those that normally engage on trades like day trading usually seeks for making a daily income through that because they are best experienced and interested in that, though that is not a mandate for profitability, they also loose or win sometimes, but any long time holders will be fully interest with the investment over a long time and will hodl after buying at a particular dip market for the price to have increase over the duration of their holding.

I am better on it as an investor.

I've tried to be a trader but most of the time, it's not doing good. Although I still do some trades but it is no longer the same as how I trade before like doing it for every day.

Now, it's like whenever I think that I'll make some profit and that's how I do the trade and making sure that I will make a profit and not just a random trade.

Both are fun, but being an investor gives you a more relaxed mind than trading because trading can be stressful and time-consuming. However, I found myself loving trading and as well do the investment side of it, and I'm cool. In terms of rewarding investment is better if you consider long-term and if you aren't a profitable trader,  but if you are a profitable trader there 95% possibility of earning more money on the run.

Both are good ways to earn money but I would definitely go with investment cause trading is very much risky and one can easily lose alot.If  you can make a good investment choice think it will be better to go with it,Much more  profitable and easier than trading.

Investment can be also riskier if you choose the wrong coins. It is only safer if you choose Bitcoin, it is the most recommended coin for investment. But, if you invest in meme coins or new coins, they are even riskier than trading top altcoins. I think if you have enough knowledge and experience, you can minimize the risks in trading. So, both investment and trading are almost the same. They can be riskier or safer, it depends on the selected coins and the way to manage them.

IMO, day trading can be safer because you take the profits daily. However, day trading requires good skills and experience, it is not for newbies.

It's always the right way to follow whatever you think that will help you, there are many traders who commit big mistake and the consequences is they lost a lot, if you are not that comfortable with your skills then investing may help you, you can buy and hold while trying to learn more about strategy that may work with your chosen assets.

If there's a good open opportunity as to how you describe what you are doing right now, then it may give you that potential to earn
decently.

Honestly with trading, it's more of a losing way than profiting. If you've been a trader once and you think that it's not that good for you, you'll just keep up with the losses and that's better to realize that early than to realize it too late.

And that's likely when you've got nothing left anymore.

Yup, not just believing on it but also you know what you're doing.

Yes you can start both trading and investment at a same time but the different between trading and investment should be known. Although both are risky we cannot neglect associated risk of them but there are selection of coins matters alot as some are for suitable for trading and others for investment.

Like that of bitcoin which cannot give you profit in short term so for getting profit from bitcoin you have to buy bitcoin for longer time which is termed as investment. One can do both because in investment you have to put money and left it for prolong time while at the same time you are doing trading so you will have to give more time to it because in trading profit is to achieve in a matters of seconds or minutes.

Trading could might have an easy money depends on your skills, so people might enter trading as they thought they could easily earn money in a short term. Always remember that you're putting your money at risk so find what suits for your skills. While in investing there's a lot to invest like businesses, forex, crypto industry, real estate and etc. Just find where you are comfortable to risk your money as long as you have the knowledge background where you gonna invest. Personally investing is also a good choice since you've come from trading so you are already aware of the market. If you think you are not yet good enough for both, then study more since you already have the opportunity to learn where everything of the information are in the internet.

learning both first is the right choice. because both investing and trading definitely require sufficient knowledge before starting if you don't want to lose bigger at the beginning.
the perception of novice traders that trading is very young to make profits in a short time still has to match their skills. there are beginners who learn quickly but there are also those who continue to experience difficulties without any development.

I'm good in the aspect of investment, because I always purchased Bitcoin when the price is low in the market and store them in my wallet because I know that the price of Bitcoin will definitely increase higher to a stage that it will move me to sell to achieve something good at the end of the investment. Like those that receive monthly salary always like Bitcoin investment, because is the easiest way for them to improve financially and materially by dividing their money into two and invest one part to Bitcoin and use the remaining to finance their family. Trading is not something you can start today and start earning huge amount of money without you have the knowledge of when to trade or not to trade at the moment so that you will not experience loses  at the end.

I will choose investment not trading. Because investing is the easiest and least risky way to earn bitcoins. Trading is like gambling and is high risk. If you can profit from trading, your money will increase many times, and if you lose, your entire money will be lost which will threaten you financially. In this case investment is not as risky as trading. Because long-term investments increase the probability of profit and decrease the probability of loss. In this case we can earn good money from long term investment. So I will always choose to invest.

In trading, you've been checking the charts from time to time, but you'll get used to it, and it depends on your strategy because sometimes other traders just trigger one entry per day and leave their desk, while others, mostly working 8 hours a day, keep checking the chart. If we compare it to holding or other forms of investment, it really requires your time, but in other forms of investment, it is way less stressful, but again, both are stressful. Just find where you are having fun.

Trading has never been easy money, it's a delusion that can only end up losing money if you take it seriously. Yes, you can probably make money in any business, but for this you need to study a lot, and in trading everything is arranged in such a way that if someone earns, then at that time someone loses, this is the law of the market, so in this case you always need to be cleverer.

therefore in trading, those who do it must have a better understanding and skills. the more experienced and have better skills, the smaller the risk of loss.
those who start trading without a skill will lose, and gain from those with experience. but with some losses, beginners in trading will experience growth.
whoever wants to trade, try to invest first.

It's not late to learn, your chance depends from how you understand the venue of your investment o your trading position, the more you understand the better opportunity that will going to open for you, just like what you said, you are putting your hard earned money so it's your obligation to make sure that you will find the best venue that suits to your knowledge.

Just prepare yourself and make sure that you will continue to do your homework. It's  a non-stop learning process, either you are choosing to invest or to trade.

many people have expectations of trading, they seem to take trading for granted it's easy to win trading transactions, usually they will understand after really entering the market, and experience various problems that were not thought of before. but we also shouldn't be pessimistic that we can't trade, through all the learning process we have to be sure that we can, meanwhile we make investments which are much easier if we understand the characteristics of choosing a coin and what to do

It depends on a person what he can afford. Trading could be an opportunity to them who have small amount but sharp knowledge in this field but if a person can afford both then investing is the best option. Cause it needs lesss knowledge in comparison of trading which requires deep knowledge. Otherwise it can be a high risk activity for a person. I like investing cause i still have a lot to from for being a good trader

My take would be not to put all your eggs in one basket, especially since anything can happen like a hack, health could be affected, regulation etcetera

Besides, in today's world we live in, it is actually not a bad idea to be a trade of all jacks & master of none as this is a diversifying plan that will reduce your risk exposure if you decide to choose one and commit 100% to it...Unless your skills or interests limit you to choose only one then you can be biased in this case.

The fact that both trading and investing have their strengths and weaknesses and risks of course, don't you think we can say if you don't go in with skill or informed decisions both will be treated as gambling  because we can lose more in either one of them ::)

Trading basically means when a person buys and sells a coin in a short period of time. And investment refers to buying a coin as a strong asset and holding it indefinitely. So it can be said that trading and investment are not completely the same. But if one has a passive income source then he should invest in it and keep his full focus on his business or job. Then his source of passive income will be fine and on the other hand he will get a good return from investment which will benefit him a lot.

In my opinion it totally depends on the nature of the person. If you are young looking for a career into the markets then there is not much options for you, you will have to make trades on a daily basis or a shorter time frame. And on the other hand investor can be anybody. Any person doing some other job or business can do investing into the cryptoverse. It all basically depends on how much time u can devote to the markets.

Both is the best option that one can do. But in able to be good in both of it, I think you need to be an experienced trader first and you'll get to understand the risk for both of them. An investor can remain and still be an investor without doing any trades and be good at it but he can't be good at trading if he stays an investor. While a trader can take risks as well and do the trades daily it's most likely he's just doing typical investor things. Quite confusing but I hope that I have explained it quite well.

Depends on your patience in this market whether you're for the short term or long term. But as said, those two can be applied to both of them but whichever you take, you can't skip the risk that you're taking from it.

this is always my take , specially from people who needs to decide.

Why choose one when we can have them both?


- half of your funds must be in Investing meaning Lobg term holding, (but you must know and ready to wait)

- another half must be a capital in trading , buy and sell the coins you believe will survive in the net 24 hrs of market bullying.

more people may be more active in doing both. but have you ever seen anyone think they are only lucky in one area? Everything can be learned, but sometimes people feel that they are more fortunate in a particular field when they have tried two or more times in doing something.
Likewise with investment or trading. people may be able to do both, but sometimes they always fail in investing and on the contrary always profit in trading. Or maybe on the contrary there are those who always fail in trading but profit in investing. So maybe that's the reason why there are people who don't do both.

There are many things that need to be understood before we start trading or investing. If we don't really understand both of them, it's a good idea for us to choose which area we are good at so that if we do, we don't experience big losses. If we understand these two things, it will certainly benefit us a lot do both of these things.

Both is profitable depending on how much effort you are willing to give to excel in either of the two.

Trading is a continuous stressor in my opinion especially if you're a beginner, since there's a lot things you should do to find the right things in your trading journey to make profits most of the time, while investment is also a stressor but not that much compare to trading. There's a lot of investment but I would always choose Bitcoin, less hassle for me than going for real estate, or stocks.

It is not that complicated to understand both if we want to try to understand both well enough. For example, if you want to trade, you only need to make sure you buy at a low price and sell at a high price in a cryptocurrency or several cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, for investment, you just need to make sure the asset you invest in is really good and very well known, as in the example of Bitcoin. So it's not that complicated to understand both of them, although everyone really needs precision and patience when carrying out these two things now.

Trading can be seen as a form of investing, but I'll choose investing for now since I don't have strong technical skills in trading. On the other hand, I find investing worth exploring, possibly something I could enjoy.

Regarding Bitcoin's worst experience, for me, it's the occasionally extremely  high transaction fees.

This is the perfect thing which I also examine that everyone cannot be profitable in every field and the major concern is about the strategies, learning, knowledge and interest in selected field. People are not interested in investment in most of the cases because they are in search of quick profit which is not easy with investment.

Some people on the other hand are not interested in trading due to the quick decision, timing consuming and presence of high risk. People often think about their profit and if they find anything profitable then they will try to learn about that because no one will create any idea about unprofitable business learning.

Since i got to know Bitcoin, i have noticed that the price will continue to fluctuate because of that i do both.. trading is not my basic but i continue to learn to be able to generate short and medium term profits from the trading activities that i do ^{(i trade 50% of the bitcoin assets that i have)}, while the remaining 50% of the bitcoin that i have, i invest for my long-term profits, i have heard many predictions from several experts that the price of bitcoin will reach $1 million, i am sure of that prediction lol.

It is a good decision to invest 50% of the Bitcoin you have for the long term because it will be needed later and we will see a surge in Bitcoin next year when the Halving will happen. The new ATH is the most anticipated target for all long-term investors.

When you are trading and investing it is a good way to go.
It is not easy to start trading at first.
You have to understand how the crypto market works because of the high volatility.

Short, medium, or long-term can be chosen whichever suits you.
Short-term will give you quick profits but also give you quick losses, depending on how you manage and understand the market well.

If I see between trading and investing, I will definitely invest. Why and trading is a big trader who has a big business, they will trade only bitcoin and different for convenience. But a person can invest when he has some knowledge about crypto. I will always choose to invest, as the investment is likely to yield huge profits and future bitcoin or cryptocurrency has the potential to do well. I think about investing before I think about trading, and investing is what I love the most. Because one's money is at risk when trading without good experience in trading, that's why it is not possible to trade whenever a person does not have good knowledge. But when a person invests and keeps his money then he is not at risk, but he can get good profit in future and earn from it.

Well said, I also prefer investment over trading because trading is not for everyone. Even then I also agree that trading was also is an investment.  If someone invests a small amount of Bitcoin during the bull run, we can expect quite a lot of profit from him.  But if one invests small amount of capital in trading, it can be profitable and all can be lost. But I will not say that trading is bad, trading is definitely good for those who are very experienced. And for inexperienced people, I will say that investment is most useful. Because in many cases when it comes to learning to trade, some technical complications are more than others.

You have pointed out a good thing,  that is why whale traders have big business.
In my opinion, I think that in a business  the start up will  create for your future  those feelings couldn't be found on trading. If you want a big success in your life then you have to work on those type things it's mean those startup,   where you will get continuous earning even then if you aren't there. If you are looking at those giant businessmen their journey starts with hard work but now they can easily earn an amount by just sitting on a chair.
If I say about myself  I have a planning a business  from making profit from trading  and also others ways where I have earning. Now here is one more thing that I want to say as an example, suppose you are sick for a few days then what will happen to your trading situation, but if you can run a business in a successful state, you can earn money even when you are sick. .

I also had the same thought that investment would be my choice. Trading for me has more risk than investing, and realistically I want to minimize that risk. It's not that I'm afraid, but if there are two options that have benefits but different risks, of course I would prefer the smaller risk.
Maybe in taking profits, investment is much longer than trading, but again it is worth the risk we have to bear. Investing is also easier to do, especially we invest in bitcoin, in short we only need to hold until we can take profits. Whereas in trading maybe our balance will run out in a few minutes if we do the wrong analysis.

As long as you can still do both in your own way, I think that's a pretty good thing and there won't be any problems as long as you're able to do it. Moreover, if you have never made a loss from the work you are doing, surely your enthusiasm for continuing to do this is still so great that you immediately believe what experts say about the price that Bitcoin will reach in the future. And sometimes I also believe what the experts say, but not for the price of $1 million for one unit of Bitcoin because logically that will not be possible in the near future or in the next market cycle.

50% in trading mate? meaning you use the 50% to buy and sell bitcoin and the other 50% is to HODL in bitcoin?
aren't you using those 50% in altcoin trading since those are the easy moving coins?
Mine is indeed 50% in bitcoins but the other 50% is used for altcoin holding also, my trading skills are limited and
I don't wanna try my luck so much , so I would rather buy and Hold bitcoin and altcoins than to use in daytrading?
what do you mean by Investment? is that what we called Holding?

Trading and investing are things that can be done simultaneously, it will not cause any problems with both.
However, what must be realized is that both have different risks with different levels of possible profits and different patterns or techniques between trading and investing.

In trading, losses are normal, especially in the Crypto market which has very fast movements so it is possible for us to make losses or profits in a short time.
There is a lot of knowledge and knowledge needed in trading, which is different from investing.
So if someone does both of these things then it is someone who has extensive knowledge.

However, regarding speculation that the price of Bitcoin will reach $1 million, I agree with you that it will not happen in the near future, maybe I have the same belief but that is in the long term in the future.

Stress is something that you may earn if you keep losing your position but if you convert that to a much better learning, it can be use as a tool to continue working with your potential, both trading and investment can bring you decent benefits, it's on your take whether to pick one or to do both and explore for your full potential to earn from both venue of investment.

More on how you take your chances and explore to maximize the benefits from both venues or to focus on one of it and try
to master the best practices for a better outcome.

Investing will be much safer than trading, if we are talking about futures, then a beginner will most likely lose more than he will earn, if it is spot trading then the chances are higher, but the risk of losing money will also be present, because short-term trading requires making many transactions and you need to understand that not all of them will be profitable.

Investing is simpler, especially when it comes to buying Bitcoin, you buy it and hold it until you reach your goal. In this case, the main task is to achieve a good entry price and if you store the coins correctly, you should not have any other difficulties and you also do not need to waste time analyzing charts and making trades.

As long you could really be able to handle your risks management then you would definitely be choosing on dealing with both on which means that you would really be liking on touching up these areas since you do

know that you could really be able to grasps some chance on acquiring that state on financially freedome once you do able to take a good grasps of it.This is why tons of people would really be finding out ways
on dealing even multiple areas as long they do have the money that they could make use of such as capital whether on trading and at the same time you would really be dealing up with some investment or business which it isnt really that a bad thing or much preferred as long you could really be able to handle yourself on this one. Its a matter of choice on which one you would be taking but if you could do both.Then why not?

There are really just those people who are really that not willing to take risks just because they are really that afraid that they might lose money which its unavoidable but whats important is that you do
really able to make yourself that sustain despite of those losses or simply being able to survive despite of the condition. Deal things which you do seem that it would benefit you in
long term but dont expect that this would really be an easy path for you to take.

If I may add my opinion, investing may be more appropriate for those who have large or small funds and have a level of financial security that they are not worried about, essentially they don't want to bother scalping and only have long-term goals for savings funds. These investment activists usually put their funds in BTC or leading coins and do not carelessly put them in shitcoins. In my opinion, investment is a safe, comfortable and easier option to undertake than trading. Even though it looks simple, sometimes people who want to make long-term investments also need to master technical and fundamental analysis in order to optimize profits. This analysis is certainly useful for determining which support levels are good for entering or making purchases.

There's no such thing about considered safe in talks about trading and investing but on the sense that we are talking about the level of risks then we could really be able to say that trading is really that risky because you are really that dealing with volatility actively on which means that you would really be needing up to face and act accordingly basing up with those movements or else then you would really be finding yourself on big problem on which you would really be that prone on losing money in a short time if you do make out some bad decisions in regarding with your position.

In choosing in between two then you could actually choose two of them on which it would really be just that right if you do have both as long your capital permits you because not all would really be that having that capability and capacity when it comes to financial knowing that both things requires capital and if you do have this then its not bad to go with both options. You could
always be having the choice if you do want.

Of course, we must have sufficient knowledge first. It is the first thing to do before we begin an investment or trading. We must know that investing or trading in crypto is high risk, it is just stupid idea to do it with lack knowledge. Regarding the possibility of losses, it is something hard to avoid totally. There should be time when we can't avoid a loss. But it is true that we can avoid big losses if we understand how crypto works.

I'm sure it is difficult to understand both if we are still a beginner. We must focus on an investment or trading first. Since trading seems more difficult to understand, I think we are better to focus on an investment firstly when we are in the early of our journey on crypto.

Should have good knowledge for both investing and trading. But trading requires more intelligence and knowledge than investing. Investing should be done for a long time, if you invest for a long time, you can expect more profit. Chances of loss on investment are less. But should not invest in altcoins, it is better to invest in bitcoins. Trading is done for a limited period of time. Traders buy when the market is down and sell when there is some profit. Investing is also risky but trading is slightly more risky. I have invested in Bitcoin. I prefer investing to trading.

Well, both need a piece of good knowledge about things and superior intelligence to make a handsome amount of profit. You have to work more to excel in trading because you will need to learn analytical and technical skills. On the other hand, an investor also needs to brainstorm his ideas regarding the best investment options. Investment is a bit safer option than trading, but the profit margin is also less. Trading is riskier, but when looking at the profit margin and earning potential, I think it is better to take some calculated risk.

In fact, in investing, intelligence and knowledge are really needed, just like you need it when trading. I also tend to choose investing over trading because of many factors, but to choose a good investment, we need research, analysis, long-term calculations, and others. I see a lot of people underestimating investment until they are deceived in an investment. I feel that investing and trading have many similarities, it's just that in trading we buy and sell in a faster time period.

You can choose both actually because in investing, you wont really be that needing to be actively be dealing on what you are investing but rather you would really be just simply sitting idle and wont really be doing

something and this is why it would really be that wise that you should really be that trying out to utilize your time and your money via doing other thing like making up some trading while you are waiting for your investment profits but since not all people would really be that risks takers or someone who could really be having that good tolerance when it comes to risks. This is really why we are really seeing on the
different decisions that had been made because not all would really be that confident on doing so.

This is why choices would really vary on each individual because not all would really be that so confident on doing so on which i couldnt blame them on because losing money is never been giving that good feeling
but in speaking about progress then you wont really be finding yourself that having those kind of movement if you do sit still and play safe.

Indeed. Both trading and investing require sufficient knowledge. It is impossible to invest or to trader properly if we have no sufficient knowledge. That's why we never begin trading or investing if we still have lack of knowledge. We often saw many suggestions in this forum that the beginners must focus on learning first before they buy-sell crypto on the market. It is absolutely true, knowledge is the basic thing to have both for investment or trading.

Regarding how long we invest in a coin, it depends on our goal. Each person has his own goal, there is a person who wants to earn fast profits ad there is a person who wants to hold coins for long term profits. However, the point is how to choose the right coins for our investments. Surely Bitcoin is the most recommended coin, but I think it is okay tp invest in altcoins as well. As long as the altcoins have strong fundamentals and have no bad issues, the altcoins deserve to choose for our investments. Commonly, people prefer to invest in the top altcoins that have the strongest fundamentals.

Both trading and long-term investment can be profitable...

Trading Can be profitable for those with a deep understanding of markets, technical analysis, and a willingness to actively manage positions. It involves short-term buying and selling to capitalize on price fluctuations.

Otherwise Investment Typically involves a long-term approach, where assets are held for an extended period. Historically, long-term investments in assets like stocks and cryptocurrencies have shown the potential for significant returns over time.

The choice between trading and investment depends on your risk tolerance, time commitment, and financial goals.

Exactly,  both are profitable if you can maximize the usages of each venues, like what you mentioned,  trading is a never-ending learning process as volatility and market movements are very important to anticipate the possible next market run, either bull or bear if you know how to anticipate the right way you can position yourself and earn decent benefits.

While with investment,  it can be a long-term position that you need to wait to matured then enjoy the maximum potential growth of your investment.

Both have risks but both can also be profitable depending on how we deal with every market situation. You can actually do both at the same time, you only need to be knowledgeable of doing both things.
You can make a good profit through trading if you will never stop learning and adapting new strategies and you can also earn in investing if you know how to buy and sell at the perfect timing. Both could provide you with a good profit if you will have the eagerness to continuously learn as it's a long process of learning.

It's easier said than done, and from what I know of trading and investment, you can get more money in trading, but it comes with a higher risk as well, while the risk in investment is lower and can over time hand you a moderate amount of return depending on the asset. You will need extensive learning and training for trading and must be sure of knowing the rudiments of self-control, money and risk management and how to effectively plan your trading system and portfolio as a whole.

These are no joke in the real sense, which is why I always prefer investments for those who are of the faint mind. They may think they will win but might end up losing money. But investment still gives somewhat rest of mind and fewer tasks from your side, particularly if the asset does not fail.

investment is so far easier honestly, you missed the opportunity of selling or the coin that you invested is dumping so hard what you need to do is just wait it out and you will make your investment back even with some profits meanwhile with trading you missed chance or opportunity of dumping you most likely gonna be losing otherwise your money become investment to that coin instead if you are deciding to just hold.
overall trading is more exhausting, and the profit I think isn't necessarily larger than investment but it definitely generates money faster and in short period of time compared to investment.
but even then nowadays investment like in binance launchpad like that usually also have massive return within short term time so I think regarding profitability rate, its still kind of confusing.

Although trading requires more knowledge, technical skill, and a firm mind, you can't say that investing doesn't require knowledge. You also, and most importantly, need to think before investing about what you're investing in and whether you know what you are investing in. Are you sure that you will profit from it, etc. You have to consider many things before investing. It also requires knowledge, as you will conduct a series of analyses to determine whether that investment would be profitable. You say the loss in investment is less? I think not, wrong investment, and it will cost your money.

It's easy to say that way, but trading is too risky; it is not slightly. This is an opinion from someone who does trading. I'd say trading is a nightmare if you don't have enough knowledge, technical skill and other aspects. So trading is more risky than investing, but both have risks.

Investing and trading are two distinct ways of making money from financial markets. Investing means buying and holding a portfolio of stocks for an extended length of time at the right time. Trading is the frequent buying and selling of stocks to profit from price fluctuations driven by supply and demand considerations as well as overall market mood. But investors with long-term holdings are better positioned to diversify their investments and reduce the risk of large losses. Learn about trading before trading traders who buy and sell only a few popular stocks have less diversified portfolios, so the movement of any one stock has a greater impact on their financial health.

It seems you are the same as me. Because I am also more focused on my investment in bitcoin. And I very rarely do trading activities. Although I also do it sometimes, like on weekends or when I'm off from work. But that's just to hone my experience and insight in trading analysis.

I personally am still aware that my analytical skills are not good enough. So I prefer not to get too involved in trading except a little. I invest most in bitcoin but I also don't deny that I also invest in several altcoins which I hope will provide multiple profits in the upcoming bull run market.

"I've been on a journey to understand cryptocurrencies better. I've come across the ongoing debate between trading and investment. Traders claim it offers control and potential for quick gains, but it's not without risks and demands constant monitoring. Investors, on the other hand, prefer the steadiness of long-term growth, with the flexibility to exit when needed, all without the stress.

For those considering crypto involvement, assessing your risk tolerance and trading capabilities is crucial. Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is a wise strategy, reducing the impact of market volatility. It's a method where you consistently invest a fixed amount, regardless of market conditions.

Ultimately, the choice between trading and investing depends on your risk appetite and time commitment.

Yes, you will not lose money if you do not sell it while it is in a drawdown, but what if this drawdown lasts for years, three or five years, or what if after such a drawdown the price never returns to its previous level? Now I’m talking not only about Bitcoin, but also about some shitcoins, which can bring a lot of problems.

In trading, everything will happen much faster, and after a losing trade you can move on, you don’t have to wait several years. But if you buy Bitcoin in a bear market for the long term, then most likely you will be very good at making larger profits than most traders, if the statistics are to be believed.

In addition, we can invest a significantly larger amount in Bitcoin than the amount we allocate for trading, so this can also imply greater profit for a long-term investment.

Both have risks and they need some knowledge. Investment has a wide variety whether it is business, land, property, or stock. Trading on the other hand is more about stocks, crypto, or forex. The advantage of this is that you can do it at home which is accessible unlike investing in some physical things where you'll need to be there to check it.

Having both is good because it means diversifying your investment and if both are successful then you'll be earning a profit. Just choose what risk you take and be good at it rather than not risking at all.

There are risks in every business but our aim is not only to make profit but also to keep the risks in mind. In business where we do not have knowledge and experience, the risk of loss increases. A good experience and knowledge can improve our profit rate. Of course there are many methods and types of investments.So before investing in any business one needs to learn.

There are some businesses that you cannot control from home and you have to physically go and check these things yourself, but crypto currency is an investment that can be done from the comfort of your own home. Both trading and investing are good but I think investing is relatively easy whereas trading requires you to be mentally engaged all the time. The risk of loss is less in investing than in trading. Trading is a difficult task, and only a well-experienced trader can do it, so people who do not have experience and knowledge should prefer investing over trading.

Regardless of which one is best, I believe both of these options have their respective advantages and disadvantages. People who tend to be able to take advantage of market volatility due to their expertise will certainly take advantage of it to gain profits in the short term instead of just hoping for returns in the long term. Of course they can trade and invest at the same time, but trading tends to involve a lot of risk due to price volatility.

I avoid day trading as much as I can, but that doesn't mean I'm incapable of exploiting volatility to make a profit. Long term investing tends to make me more comfortable although I may occasionally use 10% of my DCA budget to trade.

Yeah, there is no need to prolong that. If you're a trader and your risk appetite can be extended to investing too then that's good.
If you're an investor and you keep on investing to the point that you think people mock you because they'll always that you'll become rich soon and that is because you're investing. Not gonna say it's a discouragement in real life but you just don't know if they're making or not.

Yes, it all matters with risks taking because if you couldnt really be able to take up the risks then go into that far extent but if your risks appetite could really be able to do so then it is really an opportunity for you to

progress even more and this is something that would really be that preferrable to do so but of course it would really be needing more capital for you to involved with because if you do lack finances
then there's no way that you could really be able to take advantage with the situation and this is something that in normal approach. Trading or investment? if you could do both then the better
but if you do want to choose one then it would really be that depending on someones preference since we know that each person does have the the same capability or simply with the skills.
The sure thing that we do have in mind is that on the time that you do have multiple possible income source then it would be always better.

The only issue here is that not all does have that risks management and taking for them to proceed and some even have the money but having no confidence
would really be hindering them on making up such step.

Of course, each has their own advantages & disadvantages.

Trading enables someone to take faster profits, but it requires good trading skills and mentality (knowledge, experience). But the profits in trading won't be as big as the profits in an investment. Specifically for day trading, it commonly only earn few dollars. But I think it is not too risky because we don't hold a coin for a long time.

Meanwhile an investment, it offers higher profits. But the risk is quite high because we are intended to hold a crypto coin for a long time (few months, few years). We must be very careful to choose crypto coins for investment since we will hold them for years.

By the way, surely both trading and investment are risky due to the volatility on crypto prices. But I think we can deal with the volatility if we know how to analyze the market trends. We also need to avoid shitcoins or weak coins, that probably can have a significant change in price at a short time. And there are many other ways to deal with the volatility.

I am not good at anything but I have just learned through experience and stay on the market.

And those people that have done trading but they think that they can't do it and they're just making losses instead of profit should prefer investing. It's not a problem if you're not good in trading when you're making profits but it's not a temporary problem that will be made. You'll have that time that you will see yourself that you're going to loss and you'll have that tough time to recover when you're not good at it. So much better to put that money into investing and let it grow on its own over the period of time.

Indeed, by investing it will be easier to do so, but for those who want to do trading as their main job there is nothing wrong, but you need to know that you can learn until you have good knowledge about trading. Trading has a greater level of risk than investing, therefore we should not only judge it in terms of profits, but we must also consider the risks so that we don't regret it later.

According to the market you have to decide whether you will trade or invest. We need to have a good understanding of both trading and investing so that we can do the right thing at the right time according to the market. Whenever you feel that long term investing is better than trading then you should definitely invest instead of trading. Again trading is a better decision than investing when the market fluctuates naturally so you must be more focused on trading at that time. 

If you think you will do investment and trading together then that is totally up to you which needs good amount of financial support. If there is good financial support you can invest in any one coin for a long time and carry out your own trading activities in all other coins.

And sometimes not everyone is ready to become a trader even though they have learned a lot about trading. Because some people are sometimes always hampered by poor emotional control in trading activities. So for this type of person, investing will be much more suitable. But for someone who has expertise in trading and is also good at controlling emotions or has a strong mentality, trading can be a way that can provide more and faster profits. So yeah in the end it will depend on which type we are.

I think this should be the best thing to do because depending on just one source of income isn't always safe. If we can do both trading and investing. It'll benefits us because when you trade and make profits, you can reserve some profits and use them to invest into Bitcoin or other altcoins that you're interested in although it'll be better we Invest in Bitcoin because that's the most safest cryptocurrency you can invest in and be sure you can make profits in the bull market.

Trading needs your active awareness because you'll have to be active with what's happening in the market to make your trading very profitable but investing doesn't need you to be very active in the market as you can just buy and hold and wait for the bull market, so both are combinable.

According financial support or not to make choose between trading or investment, have other factor beside with good financial we have another income and trading in cryptocurrency is not our main income. Simple if you have much saving and have main job with higher salary payment every month will choose investment than trading, but without have another passive income and trading is the only way for our income there are not any choose except prefer trading than investment.

In trading need skill and always updating bad or good news every day, difference with investment we close all market price update in daily day and waiting when price going up few weeks or months later but in trading we must active for getting good news and selling assets trough have profit.

I barely trade and the reason is that it often requires you to have a really good understanding of the market. If you're not proficient in technical analysis then it's either you're opting for copy trading i.e you intend to copy the trades of elite traders. Personally I opt to invest and 70% of my BTC are spread across flexible savings, snowball investments and dual investments. This way I get to earn passively instead of trading and losing or just merely holding and earning nothing. You can check these investment options here.

Aside from what you indicated, you can be an investor even if you have no knowledge of trading activity; you can learn trading while you are a long-term holder and waiting for the ideal time to sell what you own, whether it is bitcoin or another cryptocurrency.

When it comes to investing, there is no such thing as a headache when compared to short-term trading. Because, of course, when a trader seeks profit in a short period of time, such as a day or an hour, it is up to the individual to determine how he will proceed.

Not a problem when someone's pushing to become a day trader and it is no longer our business whether that person wins his daily trades or not. It is not a concern and affairs of us when someone decides to be like that. But there are people that want to get into the decision of these people that does it and think that it's cool for them to check them out without thinking what they're about to say to them.

And that is because every day is too risky for you and you've got to win your trades if this has become your main source of income. But as they say, most of the traders lose.

There's no such thing on this world could really be that easy specially if we do speak or talk about money making, whether through investment or though other ways or methods on which it could give out chance or

opportunity for us to make money and this is something that would really that hard. Trading? Its not something a skill that you could get or mastered in a short time. Investment? Its always be depending on
recognition and demand on which these things arent that guarantee on the time that you do decide on dealing with it. When it comes on choosing on which path you would be taking then it would
really be depending on your choice because you are the ones would really be pertaining or looking out on which way you would be seem to be effective.

Its a matter of trial and error because not all would really be that good on something but as long we dont try then we wont really be able to find out.
There are really things which are really that hard of for us to deal with but since this is an opportunity to make money then there are people who could really be able to deal with.

Learning and trading actually are still different. We may learn how the basics go with trading but when it's come to the actuality, a lot of things changes.
We have to deal with the reality that it's really different from what we've learned through the theoretical way.
If you're too emotional and not prepared for it, your experiences could be the reason why you want to stop trading and choose the investing way. But even with that choice, it's not an easy path as well.

this much is actually the truth, sometime theory isn't gonna fit with practicality and what really occurred in real scenario, some time the technical analysis become useless when there's sudden rumour going around in regard of the coin that we are trading and investing, its just really obscure overall in determining how the market will actually moves.
therefore second plan or back up plan is always essential and needed because our trade and investment could definitely go wrong.
added with the fact that sometimes there is manipulation occurring if you are investing in relatively low market capitalization coin.

It depends on you

Do trade when you know what you doing and want to gain a profit over time
do invest when you want to HOLD for a long period of time

both of them have their own risk so choose carefully, tho most people that I know is do both of them trade/scalping for usually altcoin and invest on bitcoin for long period of time

Investing is easy but seems difficult to those who are not well versed and experienced in the market. When a trader starts trading he must have good knowledge otherwise he will not be able to make a profit. Besides, we know that trading is more risky than investing and there is fear of losing money, so one must gain experience about the market to reduce the risk. Also, I think investing is better than trading as it involves less risk and less fear of losing money. However, if we consider the risks, we will refrain from trading, if we expect to make a profit, it is best to invest once we get the results.

you are right, and the risk is greater when we don't know what we are doing. like a beginner who wants to try trading without any skills or experience. forcing myself to make a trade because I think it's very easy. Of course that makes the risk even greater. instead of making a profit, maybe a loss will come.

I think that also applies to those who invest. because it's not as easy as we say to HOLD long term. However, those who invest must have some knowledge to keep their investments on target.

In my opinion investing is not difficult for a newbie, just a little knowledge about market and coins is required. If one only knows what is bear season and bull season. Even if a newbie doesn't know about a good and strong project, he can choose a few good coins from the top 100 coins in the market.

While this is not the case in trading.Trading cannot be done with one or two years of experience or by watching various YouTube videos or getting information from social media platforms. Trading requires a lot of experience. You need at least 7 to 10 years of experience in my opinion. Investment and trading, they are two different things with different requirements.As easy as you think investment and trading are the same, it is not so easy.

In my opinion, for long-term investment, instead of one coin, your capital should be divided into different coins, so that the loss rate can be minimized.

I just thought of it today, I think all trading are investments but not all investments are trading. Tho trading and investments are two distinct approaches on how manage your finances, to both you have to consider your risk tolerance, your expertise in trading/ investing, and your goal. In investing, usually it takes years where you have to hold your invested money and wait for the return. You can just leave it there or find an expert who can monitor your investments for you and you'll just have to wait for your profit.

Trading on the other hand requires skills and deep understanding of the market. I doubt experienced traders would prefer to let someone else do the trade for them? I mean, it requires active involvement to the market so you can be sure that you are not being left out. Trading, most of the time, is short term because you can receive returns relatively quick from price swings.

It would be wise to have knowledge in both. :) Like don't put all your eggs in one basket perspective.

Right, if we're going to apply theories and stats, sometimes they don't just align and what we need to do is to go with the actual situation of the market.
And sometimes it's the vice versa, on this matter what you need to do is whatever works for you. It's your money and you need to know what's best for you in that case.
Having back up plans like if you're a trader and you think that you'll not end up with being good at it, there's always the other way through investing.

7-10 years is already that too exagerrated on which i would really be definitely be saying that 1-2 years should be an enough window for you to be able to have that right experience towards this market and it would really be depending or varying on how serious and how many hours you've been dealing with trading and its true that learning could really be acquired through real experience and not just on reading up some books or seeing some youtube video or simply it is something that you could really only gain with your own experience towards it. Somewhat having that a decade kind of engagement is really just that too much of a standard. If you do last up that long then this do indicates that you are really that doing well with trading because you wont really be lasting up for couple of years if you arent seeing something progressive towards your career path.
Trading or investment? It would really be your choice to make but if you could really be able to handle both then why not as long you do know on how to manage your finances and could be able to sustain
for long then it would really be an advantage for you to deal up both things which we know that it could potentially bring up profits and income if you do it well.

I personally will trade when I think it is a good time for trading and I can gain profits faster. For trading, I will take profits for few days, I rarely target for weekly. While I prefer to invest if I think the coin will have significant growth in the future. Most of the coins that I'm holding for a long time are reputable coins, those coins who are proven already for some years.

Yes, I prefer to choose altcoins if it is for trading. Altcoins have higher volatility, so I can get good chance for higher profits. While Bitcoin will grow gradually, it is rarely moving significantly in short time. So, it is better for holding BTC as a long term asset.

So distinguish which one you want to trade and want to invest in for the long term.
No need to research anymore, long-term investment is certainly the choice is Bitcoin and you can also choose ETH as a second investment option because you see how ETH's potential in the future is quite good, experiencing significant development and always following the price of Bitcoin.

For the trades you make, it may be very appropriate when the market is hyped and some of the coin volumes you want to trade are large enough so that price movements will be faster.

Taking profits in a few days or trade scalping mode may be more suitable.
It will be done quickly, but you also need good technical knowledge and already know how the market will go.
Don't guess without knowing the basics of trading, it's like gambling and has no clear direction.

but quite fairly speaking the altcoin volatility isn't giving that great of a margin unless its some real high volatile coins like meme coin in general.
moreover altcoin in general are also following the trend of bitcoin, i've seen countless altcoin that was supposed to have volatility just stagnating because waiting for bitcoin trend to change.
therefore if its just mere volatility bitcoin actually already good enough for it but the advantage of trading altcoin is due to the fact that its value per unit is significantly cheaper so with small capital you can gain massive increase since doubling the value in altcoin is easier than in bitcoin I guess.

Totally Trading has a greater risk but if you know about it you can easily make a profit in a matter of hours. Tho some new users dont know about trade just go all in on the futures market that going easily to beat in an hour too hahaha.


Yessss Altcoin is pretty much high volatile my friend also trade on altcoin, sometimes trade on shitcoin like pepecoin and shiba to test the heartbeart.

If I share my experience, I have been in the crypto market for almost two years.I am also investing and trading but often I face loss in trading.It doesn't mean that I am not giving time to trading but I am giving good amount of time to trading and also trying hard to learn but I find trading much more difficult than investing.We always invest in good and strong coins rather than volatile ones, we don't worry if the price drops after we buy,but this is not the case in trading, we always choose a coin to trade which has high volatility and if ever its price falls below our buy price,So the risk of loss increases for us, because nothing can be said about the future of this coin.

So, we cannot keep trading coins for long. In a year or two, you can understand the crypto currency market, you can understand investing, but understanding and doing trading is a different thing. Our goal in trading is not just to trade. But our aim is to make good profit and to make good profit requires more experience which I think you will hardly get in two years. It is different that different people can have different mental capacity. Some people can learn to trade in two years, but some people may take longer to learn, but in my opinion, the longer the experience, the more mature and better the experience.

For me i think both are good and its okay if you can do both just to diversify and maybe increase your earnings. it all depends on your schedules for example if you are the busy types but want to earn then i think investment will be good for you because you dont have to check your porfolio or the chart everytime. if you are the type that has free time, like to stare at chart, can sit and analysis pairs then i think trading will be good for you. both have their risks which i believe anyone venturing into any would have known the risks involved. also to invest you might not need to know alot of things but to be professional in trading it takes some time and a lot of practise.

My answer to the question will depend on what area I have found myself doing, that is favorable to me. I can't find myself losing in either one of them(trading or investing) and I still decide to keep up with the one I am losing from more than the one I am gaining from. I will move on fully with the one I know how to do best.

I believe that out of all of my experiences with bitcoin, investing in it has been better than trading on it. This is due to the fact that I am more knowledgeable about bitcoin investment than I am on bitcoin trading. Investment has been best for me since I know about crypto.

Everyone's brain experience is the same or different. But i can say that bitcoin is best for investment or long term holding but above all profit depends on how much dip opportunity you can buy bitcoin. Moreover bitcoin will give you a lot of security and your money will be safe because there will be no issue of scam here. So if the crypto market is in your favor it is possible to get dip price from bitcoin so you should be alert. However with crypto you can't go out of risk so you have to experience and deal with risk.

On the other hand i think trading is not good for newbies and especially diving into trading from bitcoin is more risky. So you can practice trading from other coins if you want and start trading later when it is available to you. But certain pairs need to be supported and equipped with fundamental analysis of such exchanges. Remember you need to extra time and risk is required to trade. Anyway you have to spend a lot of time looking for signals.

Definitely the schedule of a person really tells what he should do that is either trading or investing. Now for trading you need to give specific time to the market. Do daily readings and need to do analysis of the coin. Now if we talk about investing, then here you only need to buy the assets and hold it. Now trading have higher returns but with higher returns, high risks also come. So according to the risk capabilities also, one can choose either trading or investing.

I made my first trade in 1993 in financial markets, so I have some trading experience. Forget about intraday or short term trading in BTC because it's more difficult than stocks, futures or forex, and you will need a solid trading strategy and years of experience to make profits intraday trading cryptos.

I will usually say to go for investment because through investment yes you will make money but it will be late but your chances of losing money will be very less if you invest at right time.  It will make you profit but it will take my time and you will be less likely to lose money.  Above I see traders who trade very fast in a very short period of time as well as they lose a lot of money.  To say that those who are trading from the beginning, from the beginning, in my opinion, are at a loss, and after gaining experience, they gain.  Many of them come out of the trading world due to financial problems.  But investments are not like that, in investment you will earn only waiting for time.  For this I would always go for investments.  Because in my opinion it is better to get rich by slowly saving wealth properly than not to become a poor by trying to get rich very quickly.

It would always falls down on someones preference because even majority of people would be telling that they should be doing trading but since its something that cant really be that done by anyone or doing well on this one then its just wise that you shouldn't really be pursuing on things which is really that out of your interest or passion because it would really be just resulting into things which you dont really like to see.
Frustration and disappointment would comes next if you arent really that good on handling yourself when it comes to emotional aspect. This is why on the time that you do make out some choice then it would really be just that be depending on what are your plans or you would really be sticking on where you are somewhat comfortable and not to tend to touch up things which is really that outside of your capability.

Whats your take? It would be depending on your preference or simply basing up with your own capability because if you do see that trading isnt your genre then better take that investment path
but if you do see that you do have that potential on doing trading or could really be able to sustain yourself then having more income sources or profit sources the better.
It is really just a matter of time management and of course with your  funding too which it would really be that crucial for this part.

For sure investment is a better plan as compared to trading. But there is one thing you should notice that trading may be give someone more money at a time and it sometimes give huge loss at a time. So, there is more risk as compared to investment. But if we look at investment, if someone has invested then it will take some time to gain some hype and to gain the profit it will take also time. But there is very less chance of getting in loss. While in trading it is more risky to play with the money. I would also suggest that investment is better choice.

Actually, both trading and investment are good plans. Both can give much money if we know how to do them properly. But if we trade or invest in the wrong way, surely we may end up with big losses. The risks are the same, it is about losing money. Regarding which to have higher risk, I think it depends on the knowledge and experience of the individual. Although you think trading is riskier, it may be quite safe if we have enough knowledge and experience about trading. Trading only has a big risk if we trade in a random way.

The best way is to do both trading and investing in crypto. We don't need to avoid trading, we must learn it. If we never try to learn it, we will never be an expert/experienced trader. But do it in a proper way, use the capital wisely. If we think we already know well trading, we can use big capital. But if we are still in the beginning phase, it is better to use small capital. A beginner must prioritize learning than earning much money.

Well, this depends on the individual either trader or investor, their skills level, the market they engage themselves in and a lot of other factors. If you are someone who is more concern about the future and planning for long time, investing will work well for you because trading is for short time and instant profit with high risk involved compare to investment. It's necessary to have idea and knowledge on whichever you choose but investing require a little knowledge and you can begin your investment because it has less risk. Trading require a lot of experience and skills before you can be able to start and your success is still not guaranteed due to high risk involved.

If you are thinking of investment, never consider altcoins as you may likely lose your money. Forget the hype some of them are getting from media. Invest in bitcoin for a long time and you'll not regret you did. Altcoins are only suitable for trading. Regardless, you should just embark on your personal research.

it all comes down to personal liking, whether its trading and investing, if someone is vigorous enough to see the chart whole day 24/7 then they are fine with going with trading otherwise they could invest as a side earning.
with trading you can make big profit, but with big risk also requires you to mentally exhausts yourself.
meanwhile with investing, its as simple as just to wait until season changes. i personally would prefer to invest instead of trading since i'm not really good at it.
moreover i don't really want to make my head aching thinking of chart 24/7.

In my opinion, investing or trading bitcoin both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Because of these two things (investing and trading) many people have proven and felt the benefits. So it can be concluded whether it is investing in Bitcoin or trading Bitcoin, it is still a good option to earn profits from Bitcoin. So basically it all depends on your wishes and abilities regarding these two things.

But for me personally, I prefer to just invest. Because investing in bitcoin doesn't take much time. Because currently I also have other activities. So choosing the investment path for me was the right thing. Additionally, as far as I know, the majority of bitcoin investors on this forum say that investing over a long period of time is the best way to get maximum profits. So I personally also agree with this. Because as we know, bitcoin has a clear cycle, such as halving which usually occurs within four years. In addition, after the halving cycle is always followed by a bullish market. Therefore, long-term investment in bitcoin, in my opinion, is the best thing for bitcoin investors to do. Because bitcoin does have a regular cycle every four years.

And for trading I like to do it on altcoins. I also do it over a certain period of time, not in a short time, for example not in a week, but for months. Because if I do daily trading, in my opinion I need very large capital to be able to get significant profits. So for trading I also have a time period of months.

some traders enjoy their trading, it won't give them a headache. investing may be more relaxed, the most important thing is that the right assets are chosen.
both are also equally risky, I do both even though lately I prefer investing than trading. Some people think luck lies in one choice only, not both. so for those who are still starting out, it is better to do both to be able to judge which one will be more suitable for them. because both trading and investing still require skills and experience.

I'm for Investment as I am a failure in trading , have tried couple of times for a month but brings me nothing but losses.
thought in the past that trading is a best place where to double your money everytime but Im wrong lol.

While In Holding , though i have made mistakes each past halving yet I have gain some good percentage in my remaining holding.

but what is important now is the coming one , I am going to secure many as I can to
taste the coming bull runs fruit.

You just shipped in good advice, one should not be entirely condemned for the other as they have their pros and cons too. There are failed investments just as trading could amount to losses, however, the risk in trading is higher than in investment as long as the investor chooses the right assets for the investment. The introduction of cryptocurrency makes investment seem easy, but in the real sense, they are also risky, a lot of stocks have wrecked some people, and brokers often give bad investment advice that has ruined many as well.

But for cryptocurrency, even if there are bad investment moments, the bull run will always be the hope for all. Also about trading, as risky as it is, it's such that is capable of earning for a successful trader. Some traders could earn as much as 10,000% of their investment in just a year and be consistent with it, only that such traders are not common, it depends on how good we are in it.

Totally agree! It still depends on your preference because both are risky. But to simply answer the question, the best way to choose from these two is to identify your goals. If you are looking for a short-term goal, then I think it's better to do trading because there are trading which allows you to buy and sell assets within the same day, so this is the best pick if you are looking for a straight and quick profit. But if you want to head towards a long-term goal, then your best choice would be investing. Because as well know, in order to gain profits from your investment would take a lot of time. But if you know to yourself that you are able to manage things very well, I think the best choice would be choosing both because you can do day trading and investing at the same time. More risk, but with more potential income.

Investing is definitely a popular choice for many people! The reason is that trading can be quite demanding and stressful. You have to learn technical analysis, market structure, and stay focused on chart analysis to find your trading patterns. On the other hand, investors simply wait for a dip in prices, buy, and hold until they reach their profit target. Plus, the risk involved in trading is usually higher than in investing. Personally, I do both, but for someone who hasn't learned how to trade, investing is a safer bet. However, if you're willing to put in the effort and commitment, trading can be worth it. It's all about finding what suits you best!

In investing or trading, of course these two things have different levels of risk, but if we are new to the world of crypto, it would be better for us to choose one first to be able to make a profit and if we understand it well then we can do both things to be able to gain profits from investing and trading. If we commit to these two things, I think we can gain profits from investing and trading.

We should always go for what works for us. There are some persons who might see trading as a difficult path and some might see normal investing in cryptocurrency as a waste of time. We all have different things that works for us just like some persons might like a particular food why others might dislike that same food. Investing might look easy to us but there arf people that don't know how to invest in cryptocurrency. They don't have the knowledge of choosing the right project that would survive the market for a long time and give them good profits.

Everyday, we are present to either make good use of opportunities or refrained from them. None of them are as simple as they become apparent; they are complicated, yet with persistent measures, we can generate substantial earnings. We're in the position to produce major earnings in the system by rigorously adhering to the necessary characteristics that benefit us. Trading and investment are two distinct sectors; traders are actively trading crypto and digital currency pairings, while investors are also active, investing in good ventures. When it comes to realistic obligations, we're adults and should make informed decisions that serves us benefits at the end of the day.

I agree, choosing one should be the first step for a newbie.

The best option is to become an investor first. This is like testing yourself if you can take the market's reaction by having time to understand how investing in crypto is like.

You'll notice the huge difference of trading and investing and as a newbie, it's likely that you'll just be happy staying being an investor. And that's when you see how it is more risky to trade than to invest just like what everyone talks about it.

But you're all free to test yourself in trading too.

Its like you are saying which is good. "Eating rice with hand or with spoon!" Trading and investing aren't fundamentally the same thing? If you were referring to trading or holding then we can have a topic to discuss. In general it depends on your skills, time, knowledge, mindset etc. One can be a good trader but also a bad holder. Experts say holders earn more profits than traders but i think this data is not constant. This result varies depending on different circumstances. You should choose which one suits you best.

Obviously this is different between traders and holders.
How the complexity of traders who have to use several other tools as well as the mind to read chart patterns, analysis, fundamentals and emotions and much more to do in trading, not to say the heavy category but basically there are people who prefer to trade than hold because they have the skills and want to earn short-term.

A holder is actually simple, he holds as long as possible he will definitely get a profit, well actually this is not easy if they are people who really panic when they see prices drop dramatically, basically a holder can only practice patience.

Try and try until you do find out on whats the best thing for you and as much as possible then the more the better but of course it would really be needing that proper time management and handling so that you could really be able to do such thing because if not then you would really be finding up yourself on being challenged because dealing up with multiple things wont really be that easy.It isnt really just that you would really be needing that time handling but also you would really be needing that financial management too, considering that you are dealing with multiple things which could really be bringing up that potential income and could really be put up into your condition that you could have multiple income streams but of course it wont really be that a guaranteed thing considering that both does involved out some risks but somewhat it is really just that worth on dealing up with this because how you would really be able to make yourself that be successful if you wont really be making out such move?

Some people doesnt really like on involving themselves too much in so much risks specially on trading which we know that not all would really be that capable on doing so and dealing with the market
with so much volatility isnt something that wont really be that simple but doesnt mean that its impossible to deal with.it is really just that it does really require sufficient knowledge
and skills for you to be able to handle up yourself onto this market but of course it would really be needing that sufficient effort and risks taking.

Holding is not as simple as you are trying to claim it to be. Holding can be extremely dangerous if you can't figure out the right strategy for how you will accumulate your holding assets. Also a holder needs to be visionary, as he needs to predict the future of an asset in the long term. If he fails to do that his time and money can be in a basket that doesn't have a floor. 

He needs to set the target after doing the review and assessment, it's not just buy and hold but the trust he got from the developers. It will be the guide that he can use to keep holding and trusting the project. Without a goal that trader is doing it just the same with how gambling works, without knowledge you are taking the risk in hope that luck will be on your side to move and pump the market and give you decent profits.

Not a good way of doing it and using this venue for your investment, more on knowledge-based decision making is how trading works.

Business is risky whether it is crypto business or real estate business. Both trading and investing are risky, take risks, understand the market and do what feels safe to you. Investing usually requires long-term planning but trading does not have a specific plan. The purpose of investment is to buy and hold a certain coin for a long period of time and sell it at the end of a certain period and earn some profit, but in the case of trading, the point is to buy a coin at a low price and sell it at a relatively high price. Investing is definitely better than trading in long term planning and trading is not a bad choice for a person if he has trading skills. I always believe in long term investment and sometimes I trade with some amount but my investment is permanent.

I do both as well. It really comes down to personal preference and comfort level with risk. Investing for the long term can be more stable, but trading can be exciting for those who enjoy the challenge. It's all about finding your own rhythm in the market. But if you are just starting between the two, starting with investing is often the safer choice and you can study how to trade along the way while wiaitng for the return if your investment.  Once you gain confidence and experience, you can venture into trading and start monitoring the market.

I am also doing things like you said, because in terms of comfort level to do one of them, it must be in investing and I have felt that for some time because I continue to invest with my personal abilities so that when I have free time I also started learning about trading so I could do this more challenging job with the knowledge I already had. Because these two things both have the same goal, namely profit, everyone really needs to learn the basics so that they don't go in the wrong direction and also don't panic easily when there are sudden changes in conditions in the market.
