Trading vs. Investing.

[SquallLeonhart]

I belive that all depends on what you want to Invest or what cryptos you want to trade. When you invest you have to hold tokens long time and wait  for something to happend, but If you trade and make a basic market analysis you could buy/sell no  matter what, just  move with the market and of course you don't "tradae" on an exchange that is not trading, you find a broker that has crypto and you really trade there.

Investing actually means to buy a coin and hold for long time which is a bit opposite in trading. In trading we have to buy and sell coins constantly without really exiting the markets so this can serve us with a stable source of income but majority of times you might also need to face a loss by trading with the most volatile markets. Investing would be a head start for newbies who want to trigger their career into the blockchain space as it would also give a lot of knowledge about trading also.

Investing might be considered as a first step towards trading. Trading is nothing different. Even if you are investing into a coin at a dip and the price reaches the peak as soon as you buy than it would be appropriate to sell your coins at that point and this would be related to trading.

Trading is a job that not everyone is patient enough to wait for and of course the constant volatility of the market can put you at a great risk. For me, I only trade when the market starts to trend up because it is a very easy time to make a profit. However, the decision is yours and needs to have an effective strategy and certainly not always make good money here.

that is what i believe from the start,because Trading needs more time,effort and knowledge and also instinct with all this combined traders become successful so there are too many wannabe trader that fails since then.
also i have some groups joined before that victimized those frustrated traders by asking some amount to give them signal but all are lies and only collected their money.

i will be for trading ,i know how hard and risky trading is so better be on right side and besides i am not on a hurry to profit because i also know that waiting is one safe strategy in this market.
but of course i am not closing my door to Trading because if time come that i have leaved my work or retire?i am sure this is one that i will love to do.

expectations from trading seem to be better than online investment. however, in trading, it all depends on the strategy we have, while for investment, when it becomes a scam, we cannot do anything. but different for offline investment, I think that trading is a place to collect capital after that investment becomes the next destination.

You can excel in both trading and investing if you know what you are doing. The only difference in them is that in trading, particularly day trading, you can earn profits consistently if you know how to handle the flaws in the market and needs more knowledge and skills. Investing on the other hand can give us profits but in a long term duration like when you buy low and sell high when the coins you have been holding are already surging their prices.

Some people may trust their trading talents a lot more and some people just want to out pace the inflation I suppose, this is not one or the other option you could potentially do both of them as well. Like let's say you have 10k dollars in your portfolio, you can invest 5k of it long term and do not touch it but you can also trade with the other 5k to see if you could make more profit or not.

This would also allow you to see if you are a better investor or a better trader as well since you would share your capital equally between them and you will see how much each grew in certain period of time and compare how much you made with each method and see how much has more money in the end.

People can do both as you said but i wont people that dont have enough to trade crypto currency becausd when calculating exchange fee and bot fee which was the major way people make successful trade these days trading is no go area for small fund traders. With that been said, with the halving occasion coming up i think investment is the right strategy to be use.

Trading and Investing are both methods for you to gain money in this virtual world. Both investors and traders earn money through the help of the market. They are good ways to make a profit.

Investors gain money when they but cryptocurrency and holds it for a long time, until bitcoin inflation happens, they will but cryptocurrency when the market is already down then if the market goes high that is the time that they will gain money by withdrawing it. While traders use the inflation and deflation of bitcoin to earn money, it involves buying and selling of currency in the virtual world.

So if you want to earn more money, you can do both things, the more, the merrier, if you are a beginner, then don't invest and trade significant amount of money because you may fail from it, you should do research first before doing that because it is not a simple thing, you should have an excellent knowledge and skill to be successful in both methods.

Doing both trading as well as investing was always the same thing for me, because as you started to do the investment you need to have trading in order to earn profit. Buying a trusted crypto on an exchange site, trading is always having an involvement as part of investing. They only differs on exact terms but their ways is always having relation with respect in making money.

[nicolas1979]

don't invest and trade significant amount of money because you may fail from it,

This is the key for success, don't greedy about profit. I stay in investment world, already leave trading because my daily strategy only have 10% possibility to win, I must stop. From investment I learn time ( moment ) is important part, find it and replace money with limit. Use indicator you know to make good prediction, share your strategy to get respond ( evaluation ) from other member. Stay with your plan because no plan no profit.

Your subject might get a bit tricky for a lot of users here. Trading and Investing might be compared but we should never forget that they both are different entities. Trading has major risk of losing what we have but investing might minimize the risk of losing our coins as mostly long term investing would probably give you profits 90% times.

The most important factor here would be your experience. If you have good knowledge than you can trade with cryptos and make higher yield in smaller time intervals but if you lack in experience than I would personally prefer you to invest into some top coins and wait for them to reach the peak so that you can exit the markets.

[Eugenar]

I prefer both.Because I already invested my money in some top rated crypto and holding now, if those coins reach my target I will sell that.
Now I am trying to trade, not daily but weekly,I think smart people will choose both path.Because invested money have target and in trading if I can make profit i will sell that instantly,So i can count my profit, and invested money will give me good return with big amount.So I prefer both Trading and investing.

Well said mate, both methods are excellent thing for earning money, but it requires skills and techniques for you to succeed on that because it is not a sure win situation, you cannot make on both methods 100% especially if you are the only beginner on that, so for you to be successful in trading and investing, you should do some research on that, it is not a simple thing, so if you are only a beginner you should not invest or trade a massive amount of money. If you know that you are already right on two methods, you may now invest or trade huge money as you want. You should have an excellent skills first before entering that thing or else you will be wasting your money. The good thing about the investing and trading is it will teach you on how to value your money and make analyzation which is good for everyone. We should keep on learning things because knowledge is essential, it will help us to become successful in the future.

Yes, before going to trading must requires a strategy and the capability you have to maximise your earnings. It's takes a lot of time before you can get a profit to trading with just a small amout of time. Trading will be better if you have a lot of experience from it while in investment you need to learn how to know if it's a good coin or not. I think for beginners investment would be a good option first before trading.

Both are just the same where in you will risk a certain amount of money or investment and will look for a chance of gaining a decent profit.

I think I would prefer trading rather than investing since in trading you yourself is the one who will in charge whether you will earn or not wherein cases that you would decide whether to sell, buy or hold but in investing you will invest into something that you don't know whether it will be worth it or not and you have to do is to wait rather than in trading you're the one who should decide.

[LUCKMCFLY]

At the moment, as the market is, it is necessary to see that the best option is investment, is the Fundamental of Coronavirus, at any time there will be a recovery of the market, not only in crypto, also in the stock market, forex, gold, S & P500, because according to analysts as this epidemic continues, it will seek to take refuge in money, bitcoin is a quick option and will become safe, even if it is safe.

I don't think there is a difference in investment as you say, we are still proactive and accountable for every decision, if you say that you don't know your investment, don't know its information and potential, you are just throwing money without thinking. Investments also need analysis as trading, what I feel is quite different is that the investment period will be longer than trading, and for someone who wants to make money and limit risk, the combination of investment and trading is the best way

[cryptoangel]

For me both are alternative income, built business and get job is the main income. So I replace it after finish doing job, never replace it when I work in real life. Mindset is important part before trade/ invest, from this one it will be easy to get disciplines and patient. Take courses or join trading/ investment group, learn from the expert and try demo account. Make good plan and disciplines with it, make money using both method is really possible.

I don't think both are alternative income because trading and investment both same if we invest long term it is a investment and if we invest short term some peoples are think trading. I think number of groups available in the market but profit is depends on our active. The current market is growing rapidly because of three countries accepting the Bitcoin so this is the best time to trade, normally all the traders are join some trading groups, But predict our own analysis then only it satisfy the further investment.

[Traderbtcc]

Trading and investing are quite different from each other   because in trading it's possible to get your profits within a short period of time unlike investing where you get to wait for a long time for the market to reach it's peak level before you can get  your profits but mind you investing yields more profits than trading itself all the same both features needs patience to succeed

[thesmallgod]

Trading is also investing but this time around you need to be very skillful and learn how to trade effectively. It is a very tedious exercise and it requires a lot of patience because you can as well lose your investment if you do not know how to read cryptograph and also know when to stop and wait for recess especially during the bear market. Buying bitcoin and keeping for a long period is the easiest thing to do and it does not require any special skills other than buying crypto and keep it save in your wallet for a long time and take profit when the price has increased

Most people want to be a good trader in this market but very few people can do this because this is a very vulnerable placeand the continuous volatility is the reason so many investors give up. In fact, people will choose to invest more and wait patiently until they make good profits here.

I think that if you choose day trading, there will be times when you will feel very mentally heavy and it is difficult to keep calm when the market collapses.

Both trading and investing are the same way and destination to get much profit but have different system how to get much money with bitcoin and altcoin, with trading we can earn much money every day and investing could earn but need waiting for long term.

Yes, I would say that it’s best for everyone to do what they are good at so they don’t end up losing their money (well, people will always lose for others to win). Trading is cool and that’d due to several reasons – of you’re trader and you’re really good at it to the extent you now became a full-time trader you will be having lots of free time to spend your family and friends.

Another thing is that trading isn’t something that requires readings too much books. It’s not like investing where investors will have to be reading and books and a lot of them to keep up with what’s happening, and also you’re making your money daily and not going to wait for months or years to get your money back.
