Trading Or Investing which one is better to focus on right now?

[Ben Barubal]

We all know that We are in the bull run or bull market as they say and Bitcoin has reached its previous ATH and most traders don't know what will be the next move for BTC and some of these Altcoins are literally following the pump of BTC as well, as most are not genuinely pumping in their own accord.

So now, what do y'all do? As for me, I just invested in some coins I believe that will surge in few months while I observe what the market is doing.

I want to know what guys do. Are some of you trading the market regardless or some of you are like me, investing and observing the market

     In our current situation in the market, it seems to have broken for the time being, and when the break-time is over, it is for sure that the price value of Bitcoin will take
off again in the uptrend and the top altcoins in the market will also follow.

     So the best thing to do now is to buy while there is a short correction in the market, because this is a sign of a good opportunity to buy potential coins
that we know have potential and then hold.

it depends on the person, if they understand more about trading, then maybe they can say that trading is better than investing, because they can immediately get a profit from their trades. however, if the person is more interested in investing, then he can say that investing is better than trading, because you don't need to bother thinking about analysis, taking positions, cutloss/take profit, and so on.

but i think that, whether it's trading or investing, it's just as good if the person carries out their strategy and knowledge. there is no better or worse, because both trading and investing have the same goal of making a profit.

To actively engage in trading, it is necessary to have enough time for this, which most of us do not have. The problem of free time when investing is solved much easier than when trading, once you buy coins, you can hold them for a very long time.

Fortunately, both trading and investing are aiming for the same goal which is profit making but the big difference between them is one makes instant profit while the other makes profit in a long term, instant profit is nice but it can't be compared to a guaranteed profit that will made in future. Everyone has his or her own preference but trading has a lot of disadvantages compared to investing, some of this disadvantages include:
1. Time
2. Rate of Loses
3. No guarantee for profit
4. Tolerance etc to mention but a few.

on this note most people engage in investing because of the liberty it offers, hence it's an individual thing one choices what he or she wants and go for it. if you like to trade you can go for it but if you wan to invest then you should go for it.

Personally I think investing in some coins whenever their prices experience a pullback or retracement is the best bet bearing in mind that we are already in bullish run and price movement is in fractal that is bound to be a pullback that is when the opportunity of buying at low is unveiled whenever that opportunity comes your way you start buying using DCA and with the upcoming halving of Bitcoin definitely other cryptos would also experience bullish run, though Bitcoin ATH is already achiev, however it's very difficult to embark on trading without any prior knowledge of trading even during this bullish run.

What do you mean by trading and investing, those could be both in aspects of having a risk, in trading you can do spot trading or investing which common concept of buying low and selling high, or you can do futures trading which you watch the market price movement so you can trade. It depends on you if you have time you can watch the market every day and try to make a profit with its volatility, or if you don't have you can do just spot trading make a DCA or accumulate as much possible like this coming event of halving people grabbing the opportunity to earn money with the upcoming all-time high.

I do agree that it is something that will take a while, and it shouldn't really be all that confusing to many people, I feel like that should always be something that would be a little different. I hope to see some changes here and there, which would mean that we are going to end up with a lot of trouble if we are not careful.

I believe that we are going to end up with profit either way if we know what we are doing. And yet, if we do not know what we are doing both could be horrible for us, so when we are picking, it is not about this or that, it's about what type of thing could we do, if we can trade better then we should trade and if we invest better we should invest. Get to know yourself and what kind of person you are.

Both can be profitable if done with proper management and skills. However, while trading and investing can both promise immense profits, but taking such risks without knowledge and experience can also mean the opposite thing, that is ruining all your funds and making you upset in the end.

This is the reason why we have to study the market condition at first if it’s going to maximize our profits or pull down our future profits. But I firmly believe that since we are still approaching bitcoin halving, hodling is more recommended even from those who are legends here, and just resort into trading when the final bull run is actually happening. However, this is just from my own point of view, as I’m seeing bitcoin as a long term investment rather than focusing on its uncertainty.

well, if we are bad at trading, the solution is investment.

Investment is another option we can do in crypto business. It is not the solution for the bad trading.  If we are bad at trading, it may be caused by lack of knowledge in trading. So, we apply an inappropriate strategy in trading. This can make a difficult way to earn profits. So the solution is to learn more deeply about trading. 

However, to this day, I still invest even when I'm not that bad at trading. I think that investment is savings whose value will increase continuously. Even though it doesn't always increase, by choosing the right investment, the potential will increase.

Most people in crypto must have investment because crypto coins are basically for investing over trading. You must be aware that it is easier to invest over trading because trading requires more complex knowledge, skills, or ability. Meanwhile in investment, we only need to choose which coins potentially raise in the future. We only need to buy and hold them, then we wait for the bullish season. Anyway, investing doesn't same with saving, investing means to have a chance to a significant change on the value in the future.

Well, basically, choosing investments can also be difficult. Choosing an investment is not that easy, especially choosing the time and type. If we choose the wrong time and type of investment, we may wait years to get a profit. However, it may be a better option than choosing trading for people who do not know how to trade. That's because when someone lacks knowledge in trading, the money they have can decrease quickly, especially in cryptocurrencies where the level of fluctuation is very large. However, with investment, it might be easier for him.
Personally, I stress myself more about investing than trading because I'm pretty bad at it. However, with investment, I can hold the assets I own for the long term until I make a profit. Well, if I choose the right investments, I probably won't be waiting in the long run.

If you have enough money I would suggest doing both. But trading is best because trading during bull run is very profitable.  You can invest and hold.  However, those who have been investing for a long time have managed to earn a very good profit during this bull runner.  Trading is very profitable during this bull run. Almost people put more emphasis on trading during bull run.  But if you have a little more money you can invest some money in alt coins. And do trading at the same time. Above all you can understand your own good.

True some coins are very profitable for long term investment and some coins are profitable enough for short trading only.  So it is better to do both if one has the ability and if one is worried about his investment or does not have the ability to invest a high amount then it is better for him.  Investing some money in potential coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB for a long time will give you good returns. So trading or holding it will depend on one's ability.

right, i am investing money in both way, because i always buy some coin for long term holding because they have bright future and i expecting big returns of those coins,
on the other hand i am trying day trading or weekly because here i can get good profits in short time, so i targeted some coins those are like pump and dump coin like memes.

Its seems very good ideas with technical of trading as short term and long term, I have some coins take profit for long term and make its as investment and some coins for short term with daily day trading behind the significant movement such as meme coins. Its very worth when making meme coins for short term or daily day trading how significant price pump and too risk if meme coins become investing with long term holding.
Can't hold meme coins scare with drastically dump and meme coins is worth significant short term between few days later for holding. When meme coims have dropped very difficult to see raise up again to the higher price.
