Trading vs. Investing.

[Polar91]

Before investing or trading, you have a good knowledge about crypto-currencies. We all know that without much knowledge or skill, no body make good development for any work. So, before investing or trading we have a deep knowledge and research the crypto-currencies.         

No one can make a profit in this market without the knowledge, because any investment requires research and if you do not spend time doing this, you will definitely fail. I used to lose a lot of money when I joined this market, but instead of being disappointed, I considered it a valuable lesson to gain more experience when choosing to invest in the market.

Experience is also necessity in order to take advantage on this market because knowledge without application is useless. Thus, losing at first is normal. Every successful investors or traders have been through that and they resist to give up that'e why they are where they are now. Additionally, contnuous learning vital too because the technology is evolving quickly thus we need to adopt for us to go along with the trend and what's appropriate.

There is nothing like best, what works for you might not work for others. I invested in Bitcoin around 2015 and in 2017 ending I made lots of profits after the bull run, does that mean that Hodl/Investment is the way to go? No. There are also people who have made lots of money from trading , it just has to do with what you’re good at doing.

If trading is what you do best then you should just go for that. And if you can predict the price of Bitcoin on a long term and you’re sure that Hodl is the way to go for you, then you should focus on that. Just like when it comes to choosing a career – it’s not everyone that chooses to be an accountant, it’s all about what you think works best for you.

Investing and trading are two best way on how you can earn money.But on my opinion,it both risky too.
And you'll be needing a lot of patience on both.

[jems]

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.

it is enough to help friends, basically we have to understand first what we will do because trading or investing will include the assets we have. Do not take too much risk when we are still in doubt. Maybe seeking more knowledge and learning from our experiences during trade and investment will be very helpful for profit.

Trading is very versatile that comprises of various trading styles, methods to achieve success and earn profits, while investing is buying and holding basically a chunk of different asset classes and earn profits in long run which could take days and weeks, even months. It really depends on your personal choice what you opt for. Trading if done with discipline and few rules like risk management, using different strategies to trade in different market conditions can be profitable, however if trading is taken with emotions, most of the people loss money. Investment is less risky, however i think there are few risks in investment as well like if invested amount is of no value anymore because the project was a scam or it didn't succeed. So to invest in any project, some research should be done so that the risk of losing funds is minimised. Only chose projects which have good fundamentals.

Definitely it's risky because you are going to risk your money to make money, in fact this is called high risk because in crypto, the reward is also high, provided you are successful with Trading or Investing or could be both.

Trading is a risk. It's always stated only risk what you can afford to lose  else you could put money in mutual funds. But even mutual funds are risky. So why not take some more risk and earn more profits which in trading could be earned if good techniques are used.

Correct, trading is just like gambling. It is very risky but if you know how to manage your risk it is also profitable tough.
For now, while the crypto market suffers the sudden dump, I much prefer to HODL my bitcoin for the long term investment. It is the best time to invest and accumulate more than you can afford. Because you can't earn investing in Bitcoin in a short period of time. It needs to have patiently wait.

I agree. You could hold some and may be invest some into algo trading

You just contradicted your first statement. If trading was similar to gambling then there would be no method to make it into a profitable earning method. But it can be done so. Gambling is always going to be a loss for the player because they are fighting against the odds. Trading if done on the right assets and at proper times can end up being profitable.

For now, while the crypto market suffers the sudden dump, I much prefer to HODL my bitcoin for the long term investment. It is the best time to invest and accumulate more than you can afford. Because you can't earn investing in Bitcoin in a short period of time. It needs to have patiently wait.

You can earn on a bear market too. It is called shorting but it needs practice. Check it out if you havent already. You could also bet on the prices and make money from that if you know where to find such bets.

In my wallets there are quite a lot of different cryptocurrencies in perspectives, which I doubt a little, because today they do not have very good performance in the cryptocurrency market, but nevertheless, I try to allocate more often my personal funds to buy those coins that me  are most interested.  I believe that it is a long-term investment in Bitcoin Ethereum, as well as pundi X, that will bring me very good profit.  Of course, I believe that daily trading can bring good income, but only to a professional trader who has experience in this field of activity.  I will try to try trading a little, but it doesn’t always work out for me, because it takes a lot of time to trade.

mutual funds are less riskier then trading , either mutual funds or trading controlling risks is up to trader , investing or anything will have risk we should decide which suits us and our risks to handle and go on , the safe way we search to safe risk the less reward we get

I think its quite normal today that cryptocurrency doesn't perform well considering our world situation that made a big dump these past few weeks and it affect most of the cryptocurrency tokens.

Using personal funds to be used as trading capital is a bad move if you ask me, Remember your personal funds is allocated for your personal usage, You can't predict what may happen to you and the things you don't expect you need that your personal funds are dedicated for that. The drawback here is when you need funds, You will be forced to withdraw your trading tokens and panic sell your tokens at a certain price that you are not contented.

Many investors looking for faster way how to get much profit in bitcoin and altcoin investment so they would like to choose trading as solution how to earn much money with cryptocurrency world, when some one know how easy and faster to get much profit with trading maybe leave with investing and hold long time to earn profit.

Both investors and traders earn money through the help of the market.

It is true that it generated a lot of profit from the investors and the traders but I don't agree with this line.

The market has nothing to help these investors and traders. They are the reason they generated this money or profit they have. With the knowledge they had, they received that well-deserved profit. As you said, there are a lot of ways to earn money and the market is not the one making these opportunities but the investors and traders themselves.

I disagree with you that the market has noting to help investors and traders - I think they do it just depends on how you want to use it to your own benefit, thats the hard part but once you crack it both can help you generate profit.

It's all a matter of knowing what to take and when to take it!

You already said it yourself.

It is all a matter of knowing what to take and when to take it. The market has no will or brain to think for itself. These traders and investors are the ones doing it, analyzing the market and basing their strategies on the indicators the market is showing. Profits will not just go in without them doing something to their investments isn't it?

Totally agree with mutual funds being less risky but still the word RISK is there. So people with lesser risk appetite invest in mutual funds imo. And all depends on the risk one is willing to take. I personally have never invested in mutual funds. I am into crypto trading, not manual but algo trading and if done correctly could be a lot more profitable. We, at coindexlabs.com are trying to build something which gives us consistent passive revenue stream, and till now we are doing good.

Trading is a very risky part while investing is you're always is a safe zone. Why? Because you can hold it depend on how long the time frame you want and the profit you have been targeted on it.

Not necessarily. You being in the sort of "safe zone" completely depends on what you're actually investing in. I mean, you could hold certain penny stocks for god knows how long and you could still end up in a huge loss.

Both are risky, and it doesn't mean that you're not an active trader and just holding a certain portfolio can give you a guarantee to make profit. If you are just investing and holding, you still need to actively watch the market so you can know if your money is still growing or no more chance to go up because it is being de-listed or a certain exchange. There's a big different on a risk level of this two, you just need to classify your risk appetite and invest properly.

On that note if one cannot keep a watch on market regularly or daily. Investment option can be further explored through Mutual Funds

Trading is good but it’s all about knowing how to trade. It’s not easy, and a few times that I have tried short term trading it usually gets things messed up and I lose money. I have also tried to follow some of these trade signals and it turned out that they are mainly scammers, they don’t give you the accurate signal, so what’s the need for it? Even the ones I see on Twitter are fake , and there is a recent news of one of them Photo-shopping his trades lol, so that he can get followers.

When it comes to trading, it’s best to do your best and learn everything, so that you wouldn’t be needing the help of anyone in doing it, seriously if you keep relying on all these people or trade bots, you will achieve nothing, unless you’re just lucky.

Trading is kind of gambling. Some win, but majority of trader lose. It's impossible that everyone would make profit. So you should only trade if you think you can beat the rest of traders. With gambling you try to beat the house (roulette, dice...) or other players (at poker for example). At trading you try to beat other traders. If most of them are better than you, you will lose in the long term.
So trading signals are not bad in my opinion because they are created by people who are experienced and probably better at trading than you are. But don't trust just a random guy at TradingView or Twitter. There's only a few groups worth following, but usually they are not free.

But, I see investment as a normal thing that anyone that joins this community is going to start with; when you join the cryptocurrency community the first thing you do is to invest and after that you start trading with your money and you don't even trade with all the money as some of them lies as an investment in your wallet till the time you want to withdraw them to fiat. And talking about trading , it's not so easy, especially if you're the type that will be relying on bots or some influencers and technical analysts.

Anyone that wants to be a trader should first learn how to do technical analysis and other important skills that are need for trading before they start trading. If it's not going to be that way you're just going to keep on losing your money.
