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

[freedomgo]

Holding, most of the time.

Especially when the surge is almost everywhere, you just have to pick what you have to pick on this market and you need to sit and tighten your belt before the market leaves you.

I don't want to take chances in trading, if I want to add some of my balances because I have to take time checking it from time to time. I'll just use my money and simply gonna buy that in addition to my portfolio.

Actually one can do both trading and hodling as long as he’s good enough to succeed from his trades. If there are bigger probability to be in profits, then why not? But don’t forget to continue DCA as well as you are not just preparing your portfolio with this upcoming bull run but definitely in the next year bull run as well. So trade if you know there are reasons to trade, but never stop from accumulating more bitcoin because that’s the surest and safest way to gain decent profits in the market. If your trades do not work as planned, at least you still have good amount of hodlings that will give sufficient amount of profits when you decide to sell them at a higher position.

I'm also trading some coins besides investing in them. I think it is easier to trade in thin bullish season. The price movement of most crypto coins tend to increase, it is easy to guess that they are increasing gradually. It is different than the bearish season, the price of crypto coins are very difficult to guess. It is because of the lack of the demand in bearish season.

It's easier to trade this season because everyone seems to be moving up. I guess the ones that are benefiting here are the futures traders but don't get it wrong as when the quick dump has happened, a billion has been liquidated in the market once again. That's why if you choose to be a chill investor, you don't have to get into such trades but your only trade is when you buy and when you want to sell because you've already made a profit. But if you're going to do this often, you're likely to lose more.

Investing. I actually went trading the first time I got into crypto. Needless to say, it was a pain in the ass, kept panicking about price drops of 1%-5%, kept missing short opportunities and just kept losing profit overall. Swapped to DCA'ing and just let it be till this day. It's so  comfortable.

I reckon I can do some short trading now compared to before since I was completely ignorant, but I'd still prefer investing instead since it just removes so much stress from me.

By choosing to invest, it will certainly make it easier for us to carry it out because what we need is the right time to collect and hold until the target we set is achieved, then we will be able to get benefits from holding and using the DCA method in investing will certainly make it easy for us to do it. we only need to buy it according to the schedule we have set, trading will of course make us have to continue to pay attention to market conditions to be able to gain profits from trading and this will make us more tired in carrying out because the slightest mistake we make will result in loss. the money we use for trading.

[joeperry]

If you know how to trade then I definitely think trading is a good option but if you are bad in trading and doesn't have enough technical skills to make profit through trading, then investing is a good option. What I actually did personally is I saved some Bitcoin as investment but some portion of my money is I trade it daily and in that way I have already an investment and trying to make profit to trading, but as of now the market is trying to break the ATH and unsuccessful so it's better to hold your money and liquidate it to USDT then buy later on once break or crash.

[tygeade]

I agree with you but you should also know that holding only BTC won't give you the significant profit you need. You can also consider holding some cex token, seen they did pretty as of last month like BGB and then some other Alts like DOT, NEAR and some memes as well

Your suggestion to consider several altcoins as you mentioned is not wrong because considering the current moment which is quite good due to the bullish market trend. But I really don't agree if you don't suggest paying attention to Bitcoin, where today the price is almost the same as the previous ATH price and there is a possibility of making a new ATH again this month. Because I think all altcoins will not easily increase if market conditions and Bitcoin are still so bad and do not increase significantly like now and you can also imagine how many people are so profitable after buying Bitcoin at the beginning of last year and still holding it until now.

I agree that bitcoin is far better than other alts, doesn't mean that I mean it in a way that we shouldn't look at alts, of course we should care about the alts as well, but that doesn't mean that we should not look at bitcoin, in fact we should look at bitcoin more than anything else. I believe that it will definitely be something that will take some time. I hope that we can't really make it work in any other way, I feel like we should be considering the situation to be changing at all times.

I understand that we can't really make it work any other way, and there are some problems here and there, but that's just the way it is currently. We should consider life to be not that easy to handle, and sometimes it gets to a point where it is not that easy and we have to endure.

As far as I understand trading often involves a high level of risk as traders are exposed to short-term market volatility. Risk management is very important, and traders can use leverage to increase returns which increases risk. I like investing if you want overall growth with big returns over an extended period of time usually through buying and holding you should invest. The best returns can be obtained by holding long-term investments in bitcoin.

[doomloop]

I think the answer is both so I can explain how. You should trade into altcoins because the market is very volatile Nowadays so you can get some good profits. But it requires a very good skill set otherwise you'll lose assets.

You should invest only in well established projects like BTC, ETH and SOL etc. They will give you some good profits for long term holdings. Otherwise investing in low cap coins or heavy volatile coins in this sort of phase can be profitable but it's very risky. Yes you can have some risks and gain profits if you can afford to.

I think trading can be done at any times but not investing and for those who are impatient in investing, this time is perfect to jump in and experience a profit at a short period of time because we are now preparing for a massive bull run. The high volatility that we experience nowadays is I think only good for the short term because the true movement that they will make later on is only to increase.

You said trading requires a good skill, so we may not get in time if we will still learn it now. It may be okay now to invest in a little risky coin because after the bull run, we can just drop them immediately and our focus should be on the established cryptos again.

Since you are talking RIGHT NOW, then I would say that both trading and investing are worth it and profitable. Why? If you are an impatient person, buying known coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum will certainly give you profit even just in a few days believing that the price is continuously growing this time, unlike during bear season and even in trading.

But of course, you must think and asses your capabilities first which field you are fit for. Don't try trading if you are not totally ready and equipped with knowledge and skills, or even learn trading tools because even if the current market condition is good this never guarantees positive results. In this case, it is better to choose investing first before jumping to trading.

I would say focus more on buying and hodling first. I am very optimistic that the current price will consistently grow before price correction will appear in the market. And even if there’s price correction, that would only take some time and eventually bitcoin price will recover and goes skyrocket once again. That thought alone simply shows that investing and hodling will gain bigger amount of profits in the next couple of days.

Now, with regards to trading, you can pursue trading if you are sure that the price won’t end up in an opposite direction. But if you are still doubting on how the price will move, don’t make it complicated, just buy and hold patiently while waiting for bitcoin new all time high.

[boyptc]

Holding, most of the time.

Especially when the surge is almost everywhere, you just have to pick what you have to pick on this market and you need to sit and tighten your belt before the market leaves you.

I don't want to take chances in trading, if I want to add some of my balances because I have to take time checking it from time to time. I'll just use my money and simply gonna buy that in addition to my portfolio.

Actually one can do both trading and hodling as long as he’s good enough to succeed from his trades. If there are bigger probability to be in profits, then why not? But don’t forget to continue DCA as well as you are not just preparing your portfolio with this upcoming bull run but definitely in the next year bull run as well.

If your trades do not work as planned, at least you still have good amount of hodlings that will give sufficient amount of profits when you decide to sell them at a higher position.

Yes, one can do both.

As you hold, you can also trade at the same time if you have a lot of time and budget to beign with. Continuous DCA as you trade should be a separate account for you.

When you hold and invests for long term, you just keep that account and balances there while you do some trades. And if you profit from your trades not with these holds and investments, you're free to allocate wherever you want with that money.

But mostly, you just want to add it up to your holdings and that's what passive money means.

[isladeego]

I completely agree that emotions can be a major enemy in the markets, whether you're trading forex or crypto. I find that maintaining discipline and following my trading plan prevents me from acting quickly out of fear or greed. Also, it's important to keep in mind that everyone makes mistakes; so achievement in the long run depends on learning from them and maintaining a positive mentality.

the best option is to hold back. However, holding is almost the same as investing. Meanwhile, trading can be said to be about seeking profits in a short period of time.
Personally, I also tend to hold rather than trade whenever I make a profit. I prefer to target profits in the long term. It's just that holding or investing will only be better if we choose popular coins, especially bitcoin or popular altcoins.

right both of same whether you call it investing or holding or anything else. trading is different because it can be daily trading or weekly even monthly trading, in trading people want to make profits in the short term. i buy coins then if i see price a bit pumping and i will get some profits then i will sell and i will entry again.

      But if the investors are newbies, it's better for them to focus on investing while they study the crypto business industry they entered, right? Then just hold first. Instead of doing the daily trade at the same time, it's a bit difficult, especially if you don't have enough knowledge about it.

     We know that the risk is high when trading is done honestly, and a lot of people are damaged by trading because of a lack of knowledge about that matter. Although I also believe that it is possible to do that at the same time if you also have knowledge of trading, if you don't, don't do it, of course.

[leonair]

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.

If you are capable to embrace the two, I guess you are good to do that because, the two are profitable when you know how to use the two investing and trading in the market but if you have the money right now, I will advise you to wait for the price to come down before you can invest in BTC which is the top coin you can invest in the bear market and it will allow you to earn big in the future.

Don't try trading if you are not totally ready and equipped with knowledge and skills, or even learn trading tools because even if the current market condition is good this never guarantees positive results. In this case, it is better to choose investing first before jumping to trading. 

It is favourable to acquire trading knowledge before going into trading and, it will open your eyes to follow the right direction that will lead you to success in the future because, it will not allow you to trade when you will not achieve profits which is the benefits of having the knowledge of trading.

Of course, someone can invest and trade in the same time. Why we must focus on holding only if we have the ability in trading? But if we only have the ability in holding (investment), it is okay to focus on it only. However, I'm sure someone can learn trading if he has the intention to master trading as well. It is not easy to learn trading but it is not something impossible to master. There are many sources to learn, both videos and articles. Just make sure to learn from trusted sources.

Yep. If we do trading while we do DCA for collecting more coins for our holding, it will increase the chance for bigger profits. The risk for trading will be lower during this bullish season, specifically before the altcoins season and the new ATH of Bitcoin. Even if we fail to take profits in trading, we can hold the coins until the prices meet with our target. As long as we choose top coins, I'm sure it will be secure enough.

[Lanatsa]

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

Focus on something that brings money for you and this is something that would be only discovered on the time that you would really be able to deal up with things on which it would really be just that
normal that we would really be skeptical and this is why we do make out those choices but totally it would really be just that depending on how effective you are when having this kind of venture
whether trading up or investing and it would really be always falls down into someones capability or skills because not everyone would really be sharing up with the same level with others.

But for me then i would really be trying out my best on dealing up with both things on which you do make out some active trades at the same time on which you are really that investing too on where
you do accumulate some coins which are intended to be holded up for long term on which this is something that talks about hitting two birds at one stone but of course it would really be
still that depending on how well you are when it comes on dealing up with both things on which we dont know unless we do try for ourselves.

But if you're going to do this often, you're likely to lose more.

Trading will still be profitable with the current price. But I don’t think this is the best time to trade when you know that the price is still bound to move upward. For me, it’s a lot wiser if you keep doing DCA these days and do a one time selling when bull run comes, at least you will surely gain massive profits by that time. However, if you have the high potentials as a trader, then trade but only trade on the amount you’re comfortable of losing. Otherwise, you will only mess up with your funds and regret later on wishing you did not risk in trading this time.

[jaberwock]

one can do both.

Yeah, absolutely true, it has been about 7 years since I started trading and holding together and it is working well together for sure, I can definitely testify for that. I am not saying that it would be impossible, but it is quite fun to have it both work at the same time. I keep all of my money at Binance, and sometimes I believe that I made the right decision to just keep it all there.

It means that I get to hold what I want to hold there, and sometimes I end up being something much better as well. It's really a good feeling, and I am quite happy with what I have, it should be something decent. I have to say that if you do both together, you should be able to make it well enough, and I believe that it should be cool.

I like investing if you want overall growth with big returns over an extended period of time usually through buying and holding you should invest. The best returns can be obtained by holding long-term investments in bitcoin.

People need to make their objectives clear. If they are ready to take high risk and want high returns in exchange, then for them trading is the best. But on the other hand, if someone likes to sit in auto pilot and doesn’t want to take high risks, and is happy with low profits, then investment is the best option. If you ask me, then I would suggest everyone to just invest in Bitcoins and hold for long term.
