Difference of Trading and Investing?

[Sled]

trading is the activity we are doing to buy and sell in the market, we buy some coins at low price and we sell it at high price.

investing is something we are buy and hold for some period like one month, three month or even a year.

but sometimes if we are get stuck in trading for example we are buy at low price but somehow the price is going down too far and if we sell the coin, we are only get loss then what we need to do is hold and its like investing for some period. we are selling again when the price is back increase.

but in investing bitcoin, no matter how much the price, we still holding for a long period maybe a year or two year.

Trading is a better way of making money because you can take advantage of the pumps and dumps of almost all the cryptos in the market or exchanges and that is how you can earn bitcoins faster than investing. It is indeed that investing is when you get stuck in trading because you don't have a choice to what to do and you don't want to get that loss so you will put it on an investing mode so you can have a second chance to earn.

The difference of trading and investing is that when you trade, you can instantly have something in return, it is an exchange or reciprocal process while in investing, you will wait for it for a long tine, you need time to earn big profit. Trading really need some skills and also you must not let your emotion dictate you what to do when coin's value is already low, in investing, you just need some patience and long time for you to earn your profit.

Investing is actually the first step of trading. In order to start trading, you must have some sort of object to trade with. To get that object or asset, you invest in it because nothing is available for free. Once someone has it, he can either keep it for future use what we call savings or he can try to earn money by that asset, which is known as trading.

essentially the same, taking advantage of a change or correction of prices at a certain time, the difference is when trading we can determine how much profit will be obtained in accordance with our estimates with attention to market news, while investing more passive because we can not determine how the profit which we will get for investing just waiting for the price to rise from the initial price we capitalize us.

They really have a very big difference and often people misunderstood these terms especially to those who are not really understand the market or just a newbie when it comes to it. To make it clear, the difference between investing and trading is that in investing it is something that you're investments is being handed by anybody else that you trust to wherein in trading it is where you are the one working for your money or assets to grow in your own ways. Investing is risky especially if your money is being put onto some scammers as well as trading but not that much because it has only risk if the one you being trade will down rapidly and does you need to wait again if the price increases but somehow I prefer trading especially in bitcoin.

The only big difference i see in this two types of investments are the risk of lossing and share of earning funds.For me i think buying and selling has much less danger of lossing money not like investing in hyips .Also earning money is alot less difficult in trading.

Hey bro I think that you haven't fully understand the question of this thread, OP didn't mention anything about Bitcoin investing but investing in general, and obviously there is really no such thing as investing in an HYIP because you are just putting your money and hoping that you will be rewarded or get paid from the money of newer members which is most likely close to stealing. A real investing comes from putting your money on actual asset may it be stocks or real estate which is way more better than risking your money on a fake investment.

Trading is probably what most people do with altcoins. They trade them back and forth between USD or BTC. They do it short term and make money when they can.

Investing usually has a longer period of time that you need to hold the investment itself. Usually for years or more.

Short term trading = trading in under a year usually.

Investing over a year.

Well im confused since for me trading is a way to invest, soo i dont see any real difference, since you put your money at risk expecting to roi after some period, depending of the nature of your investment, like casino bankroll you will earn money just by funding those, while at trading you need to buy and sell the coin to get profit besides those i dont see any difference.

[Loope]

Holding and speculation.  Trading is very much about looking for arbitrage opportunities, nothing wrong with that but its a totally different narrative.  Investing is about realising long term gains.

Well, I think trading probably it is some how like what come in the market place what we have seen in any kind of store in our environment they sell their products in order to gain more profitable income, such away that there is money involved here in selling any kind of products it more effective way of gain more, While in investing your money it is a kind or strategy which your money will keeping up, it is safe than other ways, I think it is good also to invest. well it depends upon to the holder of money.

I'm not confused that trading is a type of investment and I'm been arguing with my friends about this matter too. They keep on telling that trading is different in investing, because in investing that it's a way of you'll just do nothing and put your money into a certain company and they will use that fund to grow it, like in cooperatives and banking services. I just really can't get what they are trying to say.

I think trading and investing is the same as speculation, we never know what will happen, no investment is guaranteed to profit, trading is very risky because we can lose in a matter of days, but generally investing better than trading.

They are very different things, and those who say that they are the same, probably they have never invested into a project or they have never traded. They are very different things, trading is just being a person who exchanges coins for other coins and sell them for the initial coin again until it makes X profit.
and investing in a "coin" is just buy a coin at 0.01, and sell it a few months later when the price reaches 0.03, it is not difficult to understand the terms, maybe you should learn a bit more.

When you say investing it involves time to grow profit, and through trading you frequently buy he goods and sell it on a higher value to have profit.

[IAMYOURLEADER]

Investing doesn't need a regular monitoring on the price while trading does need it. For example, you need to watch closely every ups and downs of btc so you can do buying and selling to maximize your profits.

   I will correct you. You watch price of bitcoin closely every day if you decide to be a day trader. Some people buy
when price is falling and they wait for weeks to take some profit. You have people who hold bitcoin for long period.
   All that is trading and investing in the same time, differences are just in waiting, do you agree?
   Individual make a decision what is the best and most safest, if you read about forum you can see on what people
complain mostly and what way is good for some people.
   Investing is when you plan to make more money from the money you already have. You need to do something with
money, that something is investment what ever you do. I saw that some people wrote similar things, and you should
believe in something that is confirmed from many people.

[THAHIRHAJI]

Investment is the money which will work for you get profit in return. Trading is you have to work to get profit.

I told in simple way.

[ASHLIUSZ]

With trading we need good time to be spent on keeping track of the price movement and take necessary steps to gain the profit, which also requires capital investment based on which the profiting happens. With investment, the risk is low and not much time need to be spent. It all happens with time, we need to find the trusted source and make the investment, rest happens based on the growth experienced.

Trading and investing are both two worlds that have their own set of agendas and nature, but have the same primary purpose, which is to either gain profit or in exchange for something that is essential to both. Trading involves two parties wherein one provides services to other in exchange for payment or a thing. On the other hand, investing involves only one party wherein the individual uses their money for an investment to an institution or entity, that both benefits thereto. They are different in nature but all both benefits the users who participated.

[Almat]

Investing is more of a long-term endeavor whereas trading is short-term. You typically don't touch your investments, as opposed to trading where you're consistently moving them.
