Investing vs Trading and why?

[Dudeperfect]

Since you are a newbie, I would suggest you to first of all study and understand the market behaviour. Trading is something that you do in a short-term, probably a day or week. In investing, the period varies from 3 months to 10/20 years so if you think you are flexible enough to take quick decisions and analyse the situation in less time then trading is suitable for you and if not then consider investing because you get some time to make any decision. You can start with the lowest possible amount to understand the market behaviour and build your strategies according to it.

50% I think you should buy bitcoin and hold it for a few years you can earn quite the $ 50 left you should choose the top coin on the coinmarketcap and buying them would be safer for you if you is a new entrant and marketer of cryptos

Great question me and a few friends who just joined crypto are battle-ing with the same question as well. I can not give you strong advice because I am new but I can tell what I learned so far and do with it as you like. If I would start over with the knowledge I have now then I would not invest my own money in altcoins but I would in bitcoin & eth. I did not know what a hardfork was and boy I know now lol. The money I would put in altcoins would come from free money you get when you like twitter or facebook for a new coin. As for trading I would use only free given money because it is trial and error. On youtube you can find a lot of helpfull tips and tools to use when you trade. If you analyse the news and statistics and know what the market will do you can place a safer bet. Good luck!

I think that with the investment you can get a good profit, if you know where you are investing in and if you know how to invest, but if you are a beginner in this then it's better not to do it because you can lose your money.To start trading, you need to consult with the person who is doing this. Because trading is a very dangerous job for your money if you are a beginner. In contrast to investing in trading, every second is important. I think the easiest way but less prone is investing, and trading heavier but more lucrative

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

Whatever you do, if you're new to crypto you shouldn't be trading. Trading cryptos is risky / hard enough as is, moreso if you're not familiar with the market.

Additionally, try to focus on BTC. While some alts may have merits on their own, many of them are just ways to extract money from newcomers.

Agreed. There is a mentality required to trading that is paired with key knowledge of tradings and mechanics. Emotional investors are the ones that experienced ones eat for breakfast.

First i advice you to buy Bitcoin atleast 50% because you will earn everytime Bitcoin goes up so better to hold it. Second is try to self trading, just watch on YouTube or ask your friends to help and guide you on a simple basic trade like Buy low and sell high.

buy at low price and sell at high price but this is very difficult to do. it request you have to a lot of experience in trading

[Sab11]

For me trading because trading can make your money double tripple etc in short trading is best way to earn more profit but risky, investing is takes long time to earn profit.

[soupyyo]

As for me investing more lucrative. But i trying to combine trading and investing.

You should learn and do your own research. And you have to gain experience.
You need to trade a little with small amounts at first, just to get a feel and knowledge.
After that you will be vise.

Cryptocurrency is the best leverage asset. Therefore it's better not to use Bitcoins and other cryptos for payment purposes, but for investments. Morever, there are some services that allows u to take a loan in fiat money using your crypto assets as a collateral.

[LeapTokenSale]

Both of them require a lot of research, time, and attention. Choose from where to start and be consistent, considering the risks which exist in both trading and investing.

Investing is a very risky way of earning money. I prefer trade. This method is slightly more reliable. And gives faster result. But investing has its advantages. This is a long-term investment that can bring good results.

Trading cause everything is depended on you not on market and your luck but knowledge and experience so i just consider that it is better option.

[sadirmrida]

we can actually do both... Investing some for a long term, and do the buy low sell high trading in a short term...

yeah, to be successfull in trading and investing, you need a good skill to analyze the market behaviour... and maybe some luck would help too ~

Trading needs experience and investing needs patience.
Trading could give you results but you may also possess the risk of losing while investing doesn't possess that risk to a higher extent.
Trading could make you sell in panic while if you invest, you will need to wait and you can wait for a long time and reap the profits out of it.
Trading could be dangerous if no stop loss has been put, but investing could let you win over time.
I believe you are smart enough to take this decision on your own after me elaborating everything here.

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.

Wow, really? Can I do that too? can you please share some link that I can read and learn a new things. Thank you in advance, I wish i could do that.

[cr_liev]

People in this thread will answer from their point of experience and skills. You should read more theory and try it on practive yourself. But yes, I agree with many here that you'd better not invest or trade your own money but earn coins for free on bounties.
