What kind type of market player you are?

[inanilujimi]

I'm personally more of a trader and speculator than an investor, to be honest I don't have any more long term investments like BTC and ETH because I've sold them in a bull market this year, and now only trade and hope to make a little profit in a market that is difficult to predict this.

as long as you keep earning from trading then it's better than being a long-term investor...

not everyone is suitable to be an investor, traders certainly don't like to see their assets not turning when the market is bull. After the bull market ends, most traders will definitely buy back at lower prices. being a trader is certainly very good.

that's right mate, everyone has their own way of producing something, depending on their respective skills according to their abilities. as long as he is ready to accept the consequences of what he did.

Probably an investor and a trader, I just don't want to make my money sleep in one place and I want it to grow as long as I can.

That's the reason that pushed me to study the market and make accurate and suitable strategies for me to make my investment profitable not only in holding.

I believe in a high risk, high reward mindset where I can also think of the possibilities and move on easily to control my emotions.

According to these classifications, it may be investors and traders.
Short-term trading of cryptocurrencies can get faster returns, it is more profitable than long-term investment. But trading needs to analyze market trends and make correct judgments based on price indicators.
Investing should analyze the overall market trend, invest in a currency and hold it for a long time. When funds are sufficient, regularly increase its purchase volume. Don't sell off under the influence of market sentiment. After the market pulls back, it will continue to rise and will obtain high profits.

I am personally more inclined to investing and trading, but honestly I admit that most of my funds, I invest in bitcoin, while for trading I am still in the learning stage. I think trading is not as easy as I imagined, because we need analysis, money management, and also psychology that must be maintained. different from investments where I will buy and leave it until it forms a new ath, or until I get a profit that is considered feasible. for speculation like gambling, I don't think I dare, because money is very valuable to me at this time

"this is real financial education, what they don't teach you in school...so there's three kinds of people in the world when it comes to money, there's an investor, a trader, and a speculator"


- INVESTOR = an investor puts capital to use for long-term profit.
- TRADER = a trader seeks to make short-term profits by buying and selling over and over again.
- SPECULATOR = a speculator just gambles and hopes that other parties will dare to pay higher his/her tokens or coins later.

i'm an investor, not very trading savvy, just buy Bitcoin and some Altcoins for long-term.  How about you friend?

I can't tell what type I belong to, but I think I'm a trader where I trade coins from airdrops, bounties and try to invest from these results for the long term,
but if to analyze coins and charts I can't, I only trade based on circumstances, at this time I'm still learning and continuing to learn about trading

[TheMimic1]

Part time trader, holder and crypto miner, actually I prefer trading only in bull season, it gives me more chances to success trading and I buy coins only when market is in very bad situation for long term, as so mining I never stopped for once even when the market isn't in my favour

I think I'll place myself under investor class. I place trades once in a while when I have the time to study the charts but still, I wouldn't call myself a trader. The word is best suited to active day traders who trade on a daily basis.
What I do is just buy Bitcoin and some other altcoins and hold them for a particular period of time. That way, I can save myself the stress of trading and the high risk associated with it.

How do you manage to get funds in the case of a recession, when the market is in a bad shape. Do you just keep the funds in the account and then invest them at the time of crash or you take a loan or something and then invest those funds. Cuz I have also tried waiting for the right time, but mostly I am not successful investing huge amounts at a single time because I never have that much saved at a single time.
I invest periodically and when the market crashes I invest whatever I have left inside my bank account which is generally very less to be honest.

I myself prefer to be a trader who makes short-term trades, even though the profits are small in trading the buying and selling method (ping pong) but this can at least provide continuous profits (even though sometimes we lose) and at least with short-term trading we can minimize losses that could occur, but the difficulty of being a short-term trader is that we have to continue to monitor price movements on computer screens or cellphones and that really makes us tired.

[Assface16678]

I am on the investor side all the way, go for the long-term because I know that it's all going to pay off in the end especially if the investment is already guaranteed to make a lot of profit and has proven that it can grow. Speculator is definitely more on high risk and I don't think that I can be that person knowing that I always like to play safe if possible.

[ChrisPop]

Robert Kiyosaki is a good teacher of financial education, but I wouldn't categorise them as such. There are long-term traders and short-term traders.

Investor = allocating of current resources in the hope of future, greater benefits (this includes money, time and others)

I think the financial world is messing with the terminology. A trader can also be considered an investor. He might be buying now in hope for a greater benefit today or after 6 months.
I consider a speculator someone who does not use a sound methodology to base its trades/investments on either random entries/exits or other people's opinions.

That's the reason why I didn't choose to become a trader because it takes a lot of free time to pursue this field.  For those who still have 8 hours of work in the office, it will be very difficult to monitor their portfolio regularly. As a result, they usually use the services of an investment manager and believe that they end up being caught in a scam.

Roughly speaking, it might be possible, but if it is more specified, traders cannot be equated with investors. although in the end, they will benefit from selling activities, but in detail, these traders are more inclined towards a shorter depth and in a faster tempo, in contrast to investors who prefer the long term, no matter how good the price or fluctuations are. price increases or decreases they will not really care in the short term because they prefer the long term period and they believe that in a certain time they will benefit.
the difference lies very little and can not be equated between one another.

Honestly it is not easy to just put yourself in one type, not everyone does one thing and calls it a day, we are doing many type of stuff all the time. I have some bitcoins that I invested for long time, I have some defi that I invested to farm, I have some small coins that I hope to see higher, I have some trading on the binance normal exchange that I like because I started with auto trading bots and it felt good and continued it with myself manually, I have some leverage trading done in my life but disliked it but it was there at one point.

Combine all of this together and you will realize that we are talking about something too complex to put into just one style, how can I say I am this or that when I like doing most of these and somehow can still name just one of them as something that explains me to the world? I can't do that at all.

[Republikcoin.com]

I am a person who likes long-term investments by buying coins or tokens that I really trust, and buying them when I get my paycheck.
In addition, 20% of my total monthly income is always allocated to buy and collect some crypto assets. In fact, I started actively using LTC to buy goods at Sellix or Shoppy, which are the marketplaces for the best digital goods.
I like to buy cryptocurrencies and keep them for a long time, besides that I also like to use them for daily purposes.

[JillianTaft]

I have also entered the market in recent years. I heard news in the field of encryption from a friend. I am also based on speculative ideas, but I still don't know much about the market. For the first time, I chose Hundred Times currency, but I did not grasp it. I missed this opportunity. I think it is most important to increase my knowledge reserve. Now I am just an investor.

[19Nov16]

I seem to be type one and two. I invest in Bitcoin for the long term and also do day trading on trending tokens. Usually, I use fundamental analysis. The point is, When a project is holding an event, I believe the token will go up. So I bought it before the event started. Usually an airdrop snapshot event.

As long as we know that the project is real and not a scam then I never hesitate to invest, I've been following an ICO since 2015 and the results are very satisfying, even though I was also hit by a scam but the profit I got was able to cover the money that was hit by the scam. in addition to investing in ICOs, of course holding top coins (btc, eth, ada, etc) is something we must do.

[gustavroy]

I am a bit investor and bit speculator but not a gambler at all. Let me clerify. Short term treding is not for me. I am trying to find and invest low market cap coins and gems. Yes this can make me a bit speculator but not a gambler at all.

[bitzizzix]

I think it all depends on each situation and circumstances, because I have a real job from morning to evening so I choose to invest long term.
I buy every month a small part of my salary and hold it for the long term and I choose to be safe and also look at my time after work I really need a break and I enjoy that way and the benefits are satisfying.
and once tried trading and it turned out that I didn't have the trading skills and time to do it, and finally I chose to invest long term.

[magneto]

I'd say that if you think you are a trader, you are likely not a trader. You are a speculator.

Institutional market makers mean that there is pretty much no inefficiecies for the average trader who does not even operate a bot. Research has shown that hyperactive trading simply leads to below average market returns since brokerage can quickly add up, and the negative EV accumulates.

Patience is so important in the investing business - you need to be absolutely willing to hold an investment for decades until your thesis is proven.
