Small assets, trade or invest? Good decision?

[MCobian]

In my opinion the best decision to choose crypto investment compared to crypto trading. Because it is safer and more profitable if
our capital is small, we must be patient with using small capital if we want to profit. Trade if you use small capital will run out,
because the risk of trading is very high.

Trading and investing - both are two different methods of making money and both are meant for different types of people. Traders are risk-takers while investors are most likely stays away from risk. So your decision depends on you and your outlook towards risk. There's no right and wrong decision involved. It's all about choosing a method which suits you better.

But, I believe all traders can be a successful investors still the vice versa case is not true for most people. This is the reason we do assume like investing and trading are meant for different people. Investing is possible for most people as usually all commodities do gain value over the time but here in crypto space, most altcoins do get delisted from exchanges which again makes investing too hard for anyone.

When we simply choose coins which may not face worst of scenarios then we cab make good profits in long term investing. Bitcoin must be the best for this case. It will never get delisted from anywhere hence making investments will get best ROI over the time.

Investing and trading are different things. It is a bit risky to trade with small funds, because being a small fund, if there is no big change in the market, the amount of profit is less which cannot satisfy the trader. This makes the trader more willing to take risks and the results come out worse. If you have trading skills, it doesn't matter if the amount of the fund is big or small, you can make a profit by trading.

To invest, you need to know how to invest. Here too, you may face huge losses due to wrong decisions. So there are risks in both trading and investing, if you don't know about it.

Whatever you do that would result you to be profitable, then that is the good decision.

Trading or investing, both are good actually if you do things right.
When you are trading and investing at the same time, it's possible and you could also be profitable if you are good in trading.

For me, investing is easy as you can hold it for longer term, every time the market dump, I just think of the word "HODL" and it eases me out.
Anyway, just be smart, believe in bitcoin and hold and try to learn how to be a consistent trader so you can also make profit in short term.

[Sadlife]

I agree especially when you have only small money to trade and you lack the experience. Anyways if you put your money on the right Cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin then in long term perspective you dont have to worry because you'll definitely profit unlike in day trading where you could loss everything in one single day.

You have a point, But we can't really know if we don't try right? It's true that trading is not that easy especially if you are not used to charts and have no experience in every way how to do it or let's call it a pure newbie. As an experienced trader, I go through a lot of ready and fail trades before I get my momentum of winning a trade, I lost countless capital and it makes me want to stop but I continued. If you are really serious about trading and want to gather experience try trading on a non-capital trading platform that is a training place for trade and research more about trading it will help you a lot I promise.

You are right we need to try it first, there are several solutions such as a demo account for trading Meta Trader. In practice it is always different from demo and some are not able. Apart from that some people may not like you, funds and their knowledge may be limited and they always fail.

As long as you have good patience you will be fine if you choose as a trader and investor, you can do those simultaneously. I mean, you can use your money to buy some coins for trading first, but when your prediction was wrong and you got a lot of loss if you sell them then you can be an investor at that time as long as you didn't set a stop-loss feature.

Trading spot only has one way, its concept is simple you will get profit when you buy at the lower price and sell at the high price and you will be fine when its price is decreased and you decide to hold because the amount of the coin will never be reduced it will remain same, it just falls in price. Trading will help you to give another income, you may get a consistent profit at least per week. However, it depends on your intention if you need for long term profit then you can just hold it and store it in a safe place like a cold wallet never try to store it in exchange.

[Desscount]

in my opinion if you have a small capital it's better to trade, because you can get up to 2x profit, if you invest with a small capital it will be in vain, because it will take a long time so you can feel the benefits

[davinchi]

Risk takers will always profit more if they are right, but lose more if they are wrong, that is why its called risk and not secure. If I only want to invest into bitcoin, wait 10 years and cash out, I am 99.99% going to profit, there is no way I won't, sure along the way there will be times when I am going to see lows but at the same time I will see many highs as well, and eventually I will profit.

Will I profit as much as someone who invests and even trades constantly on small coins? Maybe? Maybe I will profit more, maybe I will profit less, it all depends on that person and how well of a trader they are. That is why risk takers are who they are, they are not saying enough with the profits they could make, they want to risk to make more profits than all of us.

 You can do trading and investing simultaneously, in fact that is what I'm doing right now with my asset in binance and local wallet. Both have weighted risk depends on what type of trading or investing you are doing since we have plenty of those, in trading you can do swing trades, day trade, marginal trading etc. while with investing you can do short or long term investment, also the risks depends on the asset like bitcoin that has too much risk or gold that has less otherwise. But for me, if you are active engager to the market maybe you'll benefit most with trading.

Yeah, you can do both if you have the capability of doing it. Maybe you could consider yourself for it but actually, not everyone could make it. But if you only have small assets, it rather chooses one and that is the most preferable and convenient for you. And for me, I'd rather have to invest only. Trading is very risky and its vulnerability to losing is quite high especially when we are not having a good skill in this particular. But if they have that guts and trust themselves, then that's their choice.

[Sirait]

I can't say trade is a good decision or investment is a better decision, it all depends on your needs. if you don't want to be complicated in learning to read chart, analysis and so on you should choose investment because your trading skills are low

I prefer investment, I buy a coin and then sell if it reaches the price I set, I do not like trading because I do not have the patience to read charts, and analyze daily

This is what exactly I am doing for more than a year after losing a big capital in altcoin trading. Now, my investments in bitcoin is recovering my losses and I guess when bitcoin will be testing some $15k levels, I might have achieved 2x growth along with recovering my trading losses. Definitely I might not have done the same with trading given that the level of confident on my own trading skills.

A timely guidelines from this community made a changes in my life. I guess bitcoin investment might have transformed many people's life how I have experienced. I guess it would be definitely impress new people here when early adopters share their success stories. I guess if there would be any such topic then it might be easier for people to share rather than discussing under trading board.

Small assets?

With that particular limitation, I'd rather put my money in an investment. Trading is such a high risk that I don't have any assurance to have a good return knowing that our funds are not big enough to roll the market. I was considering/presume that the market will soon surge high and that investing today is a good idea and less risk. But if I have an enough money to start, I have to take them both.

Yes, it is better to try to trade, but you should have some skills in trading, especially to analyze the market to get the right time to enter the market. But you don't have to try to chase the profit if the market is not moving good because that can lead you to make a wrong decision. It is better to wait for a while and see what will go to happen in the market.

Investing will be a good decision, as long as you have a good coin list, and you don't panic if the price is down. You have so many coins that can be your investment, but you need to have the patience to hold the coin for a long time.

[cytpoway121]

I think as a trader, you do not have to sustain trades on so many trade platforms, just pick 1 or 2 from the top exchanges and stick to it.
Switching, changing and using more than 3 exchanges for trading will limit the profits, and make it even more tedious reading charts and trade emotions.

Do your own research,
pick the best of exchange platforms you understand well,
trade the best token you have knowledge of and use your best strategy.

[chaser15]

Do you think this is a good decision? I know that most of us are struggling in trading, could you give us more idea? And what are your thoughts about this?

You will never know until you see the result.

Since you already put yourself into crypto-investment, just make sure you are doing your best to maintain a good profit in the long-run. Learn from mistakes and take notes of all your errors along the way.

We have different views about investment as I tend to choose those investments that are stable as the normal business in the real world. Crypto-investment is highly profitable but I can't consider it as my main investment.

It would really be a trial and error game but never ever consider this as a gambling field because you would surely messed up.We do have our own ways on making profits and to compare with our own methods
doesnt mean that it would work for other people and same goes on the other side.We do actually have the same level of priority in terms of investment which i dont really put that much here on cryptospace
yet we know that this market is always been unpredictable even though crypto is slowly being adopted but talking in long term aspect then traditional physical businesses would always be a better option
but having this as a side income or investment isnt really bad either.

We all experienced that loss in trading. There were times before that I wanted to give up trading but it hit me after realizing that giving up is not an answer if we wanted to achieve something.
 
 Good thing that at the same time I invested some crypto coins as a holder so there is some alternative way to get some profits aside from trading. It is best to go both, trading and being a crypto investor. More options will give us more chance to become successful.

Anyone who enters this market experiences a loss in trading, and certainly new traders are often the ones most likely to lose money. I think it takes a lot of knowledge and constantly learning to become more successful because if you do not know, it will be very difficult to exist in this market. I never trust others and only trade according to my strategy to ensure profit.

I agree with both of you. If the trader can survive and work hard in trading by learning more about analyzing the market, I am sure that he will be a success to get the right time to trade. It is only a matter of time before he can achieve success and make much profit from trading, and I think he will not realize that his skills are already improving. He only amazes what he can do in trading.
