Investing vs Trading and why?

[Gargo]

Hi everyone...

Just a newbie and am planning to put some money into crypto. Now the thing which is stopping me is whether I should go for trading as the currency is volatile and can give some quick gains or buy it and sleep over it for a few years. Or should I go with 50% trading and 50% investing.

Need experts guidance please

both good to earning profit. so try first in investement because in investing no need any knowledge and experience so nothing to worry about this. next trading, trading is very important and we have to handle carefully. because trading need more knowledge and experience so you have to investing and doing trading need money  and experience.

It's easy! You're investing, exchanging, trading to get rich. With the incredible value of money you can do it, it's enough to meet honest people who will be able to come to a compromise. Regards.

As a newbie, it's okay to try trading for you to learn from your experience. But as an advice, you should make sure to be ready for losses. And to minimize loss, diversify the coins you buy. And to buy altcoins at a lesser price, buy coins during ICO or after bounty distribution or after months of being release since most buyers will dump their coins which make the price of coin low.

You have to take teh best of the two worlds.
Try keeping some for long term investments , and do some trading with kind of 2% risk/reward or alike. you will get decent money if you succeed.

my advise is to see what you can afford to loose en take your time to read some more about different coins and try to keep m ( offline ) for the real long run , you can better have them

also good to take part in airdrops and keep m all

trading can be a way to earn some in a short time and my experience is that it is not easy to that , it is all about emotions , difficult to buy when they are cheap ( better buy a expensive , so , good one ) and also difficult to sell when youreached , lets say 20 times your  investment (it could go higher )

trading is just not my thing

I think trading is the best rather investing . You can lost all of your money by investing but i am pretty sure that you will never lost all of your money in trading . You can profit a lot of in long term trading . So for me trading is the best

TRADING

more profitable if you know how to be patience

Trading is difficult, for every person making a profit, there is someone making a loss. I suggest you take a tiny pot of money (say $100) and trade with it for at least 3 months. You will learn a lot without the risks. You will very probably have less than what you started with.

Investing? What is the place where you are willing to invest anyway? And why don't you consider trading as an investment as well? Aren't you putting money in trading? If yes, then that is what we call an investment. And i don't know any place where you can just invest your money and get gains with the time, and if somewhere you found something like this, you better stay away from this. Trading is the better thing if you understand it and if you can control your trades in a good way. Don't go for any investments, they are 99% scams.

I think, for a starter, you can get more provit by investing, because you'll need information, experience, and some luck to be good at trading..

Trading is a little bit risky, but yes, with better income...
But for the first time you jump into crypto, I think you could just investing and then learning how to do trading by evaluating how BTC price goes up and down for a few weeks ~

Even if you are new into bitcoin but if you have an experience in trading stocks before
then you can also get into trading bitcoins in the market. Investing is safer that trading
but trading has a higher chance of earning in the future if successful. And yes a 50/50
allocation is the best strategy that you can do.

INvesting is alot easier, better if you are busier and dont know much about crypto and TA. Trading you can make more money IMO but its alot harder and you have to know your TA's and your entry and exit points

Just a newbie

I suggest you do not invest first, you can get token of a project for free just by like and share each post of their facebook page, it's good for you to understand about crypto currency rather than having to spend money.

One of the best advice so far for such a newbie like me...

[Shevrol]

If you want start invest in someone, be sure you understand this.
It is very easy to loss you money becouse you don't have enought knowledge.

[IQeon]

I think 50 to 50. But it depends on what you like more.
First of all, it is necessary to study well the crypto-currencies, their dynamics, terminology, history, to keep abreast of the news. I would recommend that you watch YouTube channels, news portals

[oookova]

Hey, I think investment is a game like a russian rulete and Trading is a hard work.
So what do you prefer? Play or work?

I would suggest crypto trading 1 year is enough experience, you have to monitor daily. Always look to altcoin when they dump and when they pump. When btc is high 80% of altcoin will dump.

Is there a trick to checking out what tokens might get high value? Is there a site where you can check this? Or is it just joining as many airdrops/bounties that you can join then hope for the best?

If you want to trade then first learn how to trade (e.g. at https://www.babypips.com/learn/forex). trading is a job like any other and if you don't treat it as such you will get the payoff of the lottery player.

Otherwise just do your due diligence and invest if you judge it appropriate.

I`m sorry for a such stupid question, but what does it mean "trading cryptocurrency"? Is it the same as trading securities on the stock market?
