Trading and long-term investing

[Bushdark]

As for me, I prefer long-term investing,, which also requires sufficient capital, knowledge to buy and sell, and a well-structured investment plan..

Both fields require experience, but trading is the more risky of the two.

It is a matter of what you are investing on, many shit coins are in their low prices but bitcoin is different. It is good to avoid trading because it is more than risky. I have lost money there so much in a way I do not want to trade again. Invest in bitcoin, gold and silver is better.

If you have lost money in trading so much, that shouldn't warrant you to condenm trading or leave trading and join another business, leaving trade and join another business because you lose in the trading is not the solution, the solution is to advance yourself and know the things that's contributing for you not to make a profit from your trading and also amend it, so I believe that we are supposed to learn trading and understand it very before we start trading, so we need to learning in trading as a challenge, I believe that will advance us from benefiting from trading

What do you expect when they leave trading and focus on what is going to give them profit? People want to make money and that is the reason why money is being pumped into investment which can be digital or physical. You can not tell me that if you don't make money from your crypto investment, you are still going to pump money on the same investment? The reality is about what you think and you should not think that trading is the ultimate way to make money when their are thousands of ways to make money online.
Get a skill(just like trading) and apply what you are learned into reality.

For sure it's not guaranteed, but it's usually less risky compared to trading. This is why we should diversify and choose carefully what assets we are going to invest in, to minimize the risk of losing our money. Also keep in mind that investments are usually long-term while trading is for quick profits, so you can basically do both if you really want to.

Investment for long term profit and trading is the way for quick profit, both kinds of trading have each advantage and disadvantage the trader must adopt which one has better way of earn profitable in cryptocurrency as trading or investing. I think if want investing in bitcoin or altcoin use capital already for holding long term and patience waiting price high increasing but if want to be trader we must working hard to buy coins get faster raise up.

Trading usually for some one have much experienced in cryptocurrency and know well about market condition if some one still beginner better with investment buy any top coins or investing in bitcoin then waiting around several months later to sell if increasing price have raise up based on target to sell. I have have free money I would like to be investor by holding bitcoin or top altcoin for longer time but right now have limited capital so I use trading for quickly profitable earn.

In the new situation, we almost equate trading and investing. Trading and long-term investing are two completely different things, let us discuss these issues in detail below.

Buying a coin is not considered an investment, if a person buys a particular coin and sells it for some profit then it is considered trading. Investing is when you buy a reliable coin and try to hold it for a long time.

We may all often misunderstand the terms, so sometimes it becomes a habit to confuse trading and long-term investing. However, people generally understand that trading and investing are two quite different things. Both require knowledge, but trading is much riskier than the long-term investing we often discuss in Bitcoin. Long-term trading doesn't play a bigger psychological role because even if a coin drops, it doesn't directly affect it.

Some trades are also considered risky, such as spot trading and futures trading, although both have their differences, and without proper knowledge and skills, it can be difficult for people to engage in them. Distinguishing long-term investment from trading is generally easy, but sometimes we often mispronounce the terms because we're used to using them.

Many times, many people think they are investors but in their practice, they turn investment to trading by storing their bitcoins on centralized exchange accounts and do buying and selling too often. It's trading, and no longer as investment.

My advice are simple
Trading is risky.
Investment is safer than trading.
Investment has better chance of getting profit than trading, if you do it properly.
To avoid turning investment to trading, don't store your bitcoins on centralized exchange accounts. Store your bitcoins in Bitcoin open source and non custodial wallets.

Storing your bitcoins in centralized exchange accounts has another risk of losing your coins with exchange deaths, hacks and bankruptcy.
Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts.

The arguments presented here have rationality since trading and long-term investment caters to two totally different categories of people. Trading is tiring and requires continuous education, discipline, and emotional control, not everybody is made to go that fast and that hard. When one loses money two or three times, he or she is expected to switch to something that is more secure. Long term investment which is especially done in assets such as Bitcoin or gold fits well with individuals who would like to watch their investments grow over time as opposed to the day to day stress in the market. The bottom line is profit at the end of the day and individuals will opt to do everything according to their talents and their level of comfort. Trading is not a one-way street: it is important to choose something that will allow you to work in the same way without becoming a burnt out or gambling on a roll.

Distinguishing long-term investment from trading is generally easy, but sometimes we often mispronounce the terms because we're used to using them.

Many people still confuse trading with investing even though they operate on completely different mindsets trading is short term it focuses on timing the market aiming to take advantage of price fluctuations and secure profit in the near future it’s fast paced and requires quick decision making technical analysis emotional control and the ability to accept losses without hesitation one wrong move or impulse can ruin a trader’s account because the exposure to volatility is high.

Investing on the other hand is patient and strategic it’s about choosing assets that have proven reliability and potential for long term growth when someone buys bitcoin or other solid coins and holds them for years despite market dips that’s investment here you aren’t chasing short term gains but believing in the long term value of the asset it’s about time in the market not timing the market. Spot and futures trading take this difference even further spot is direct ownership you buy the asset futures are leveraged bets on future prices which means higher risk and potentially bigger rewards but also bigger losses this is where many beginners fail because they treat speculative trading as investing thinking holding for a few days or weeks qualifies as long term when in reality it doesn’t.

[Out of mind]

There is a big difference between trading and long-term investment, in which trading is risky. When you enter the market for trading, if you do not know your strategy, you can lose your money there. You will not be able to make much profit by trading, rather you may face losses that can make you silent. Trading is a risky system, to make a profit here, of course, skill is needed, moreover, due to market volatility, you often have to lose money.

In that case, there is no risk in investing, when you invest in Bitcoin, it will be less risky. If you invest for a long time, there is a possibility of a lot of profit in the future, but when you withdraw from the investment, you will not have any hope of profit. So long-term investment is the only good option, for every person, long-term investment is safe, here the possibility of losing money will be very low. If you want to get money safe, then you must invest for a long time, it will not disappoint you, so it is better to invest in Bitcoin and hold it.

In the case of long-term investment, it is necessary to continue for at least four to eight years and to maintain the investment despite market fluctuations. And a good strategy for long-term investment is DCA, in which small amounts are invested at regular intervals. And in this method, there is less stress because you can invest money at your own convenience. In addition, the possibility of financial risk is less than in trading. Because in trading, you have to pour a large amount of money at once, so if the market goes down, a large amount of money can be lost. And there is stress because you have to monitor the market regularly. It is also difficult to predict when the market will go down or up. And those who want to make more money in a short time mainly enter trading.

Trading is certainly riskier than investing but trading does not necessarily require large amounts of money. We can trade with a minimum amount of $50 or $100 or even less. And in trading, if we have knowledge and strictly follow the rules and plans, we can also limit losses and avoid big losses.

For long term investments, holding period depends on strategy, plan and goals. There is no specific time frame for holding like 4 or 10 years. For example, if someone can analyze the market and is brave enough to accumulate bitcoin from 2022 when bitcoin price is below $30k. They could also have taken profits when bitcoin price crossed $100k earlier this year or whenever they wanted. As long as they are happy with that return without having to hold it for 4 years or more.

There’s no such thing as a risk-free move in the crypto business; every choice carries some level of risk. Since we can’t eliminate it, the real question is what we, as investors, should do.
The only sensible answer is: accept the risk be a risk-taker. After all, the old saying still holds: “No pain, no gain.”

That’s just how the crypto space works. Whether you deploy a large stack or a small one, both can generate outsized returns; the only difference is scale. A bigger capital base can obviously produce a bigger nominal profit, but even a modest entry can still deliver life-changing upside in this industry.

In fact, just from a time perspective, it's clear that trading and investing are two different things, short-term and long-term. However, I often see people equating trading with investing. These are usually laypeople who don't really understand the concept, or those who only see the two in a general sense without understanding what trading and investing are.

Sometimes this assumption arises because both have risks and profit opportunities. However, upon closer examination, trading is actually much more difficult because it requires more frequent market exposure, which means greater knowledge and analysis. While investing simply requires consistent investment in assets you believe in.

Trading is a risky system, to make a profit here, of course, skill is needed, moreover, due to market volatility, you often have to lose money.

Trading is more like a daily activity, where long-term investment might not be more than a two-term event, when you buy and when you sell. Trading is more principles-based than holding, and both of them have their opportunities, so whichever ever is decided to deal with is fine. And when it comes to making a profit, you can not really say one is better than the other, just that there is a lot of risk when it comes to trading than when you are investing in the long term.

In that case, there is no risk in investing, when you invest in Bitcoin, it will be less risky. If you invest for a long time, there is a possibility of a lot of profit in the future, but when you withdraw from the investment, you will not have any hope of profit.

The only risk I see is individual created is either they lose their funds to a scam or they sell, when the price is down out of panic, compared to trading that the moment you lose a trade, your money is gone, and that is why before you start trading, you have to prepare yourself emotionally, and there are ways that you can actually reduce the risk by leveraging just that there are people that are just to greedy and when it comes to money they are ready to make so many reckless decisions.

Investment is a thing most likely for the future., while tradings is a thing of now. while you are trading and getting quick money you and also pinch out a little and invest ahead. Investment is securing your future today and now. You might not have a allit of money to spare out but the little you i investment will multiply greatly in ways that that you cannot explain

We cannot equate investment and trading, both have different concepts and understandings, even though both involve money and seeing opportunities. However, in this case, trading is much more volatile and carries very high risks, and involves speculating on asset prices in a short period of time to profit from daily fluctuations. This can be done repeatedly under various conditions, whether rising or falling. And on the other hand, investing with a fairly safe method, in this case spot, can indeed build the goals we want in the long term, but we need patience and high discipline in building all of this.

Both are very different, investment and trading both require capital but the way of working is different, the point is to seek profit. We can choose between the two, whether to be a trader or an investment, a trader must have a strategy and method to multiply money quickly and have high risks.
Choosing a safer one is choosing to invest in the right coin, wait until there is a profit after that sell it and it takes a lot of time and patience in investing.

Trading can potentially lose money, while investing doesn't (unless you're investing in an unknown coin whose value could drop 99% in a short period of time). I think the difference is quite clear.

However, some people think they're the same thing, and that's where the misunderstanding arises. I once asked a friend how to buy coins, and I showed him how, but he wasn't satisfied because he wasn't referring to investing, but rather trading. I realized this when he showed me a video on his phone.

Both have a potential lose, and the different of this only the way to entry and close for profit or cut loss
For trading
- Trading can be open and close at anytime as we want and we are taking profit or cut loss more often than investing. Why they are called as trader, because they are making any purchase and selling every day. just like in traditional market, you bought something for selling in the next day. this is trade

While investing
Investing just like you are buying a part of stock or coins or wathever in real life, and you are not doing anything with this until you have a target for long period. let say you want to invest for 12 months, you will keep this until the due date. No matter how the market will be, you will keep yours until the date.
So, within 12 months, do you really sure if the price will increase? no, everything can happens, and it also have a potential loss. Except you are buying a house, that maybe always increase every years.

Yes, that's often the case, and it may not align with what's being discussed. If they're investors pursuing long-term investments, it's best not to store Bitcoin on an exchange. It's more about storing it in a much safer wallet, as this practice is also considered quite important by some investors pursuing long-term investments. Trading does carry significantly greater risks, and the potential for losses is also quite high if one lacks knowledge and skills. Therefore, if one can't maximize trading, it's better to focus on investing, as the opportunities are much better and less risky.

As the title suggests, it is better for people who do not have good knowledge and skills to focus on investing rather than trading so that they can build a better portfolio slowly by engaging in consistent investments that are carried out in a measured manner because we often see that investments in bitcoin that are made consistently can increase the value of assets to a higher level in the future.

Trading and investing are two different things and if you have been involved in either one of them you'd understand the difference...a lot of people say Trading is dangerous and there is always a possibility of losing but others might not agree because to them trading is more profitable to them..its all about doing what works for you and making sure that you are investing within your capacity

Trading is more risky than investing in terms of losing money. There are many differences between the two in terms of strategy but trading in the potential approach can be positive if you can gain experience on this platform. Some coins are more suitable for long term investment like Bitcoin and most altcoins are suitable for short term trading. Experience makes you positive in making the right decisions and teaches you the difference between investing/trading.

However, even if people have enough experience in trading, there will always be a risk of failure that haunts them. Indeed, with the knowledge they have from previous experiences, they can see positive potential for themselves and provide the benefits they want, but still, this profession is very difficult to conquer. It is indeed much better for us to invest long-term, we are not affected by daily fluctuations and the potential for long term growth will definitely be as we desire.

[Hermes Mercury]

Well, that's exactly it and we realize that being a trader is an arduous and often unrewarding task. In most situations, traders fail to have a macro view of cryptocurrencies and even if they manage small profits, they can end up making bigger profits. Of course, there are people who are good at what they do and good traders do exist.

[CageMabok]

Trading wisely can also be safe, although it still carries risks that every trader should fully understand. However, the guarantee of profit from trading is clearly the same as in general trading, which can sometimes be large or small, or even none at all due to price corrections. Investing, on the other hand, is the most relaxing activity, although it still carries risks and requires significant time sacrifices to achieve future profits. Therefore, the choice of assets must be absolutely precise in this regard, as it should not be chosen haphazardly without research.

Trading is easy but only in just viewing, but when you actually get into it, you will realize how much risk it actually involves, where even with the skills, the possibility of falling into losses is very high. But at that point when one jumps into trading without knowing anything new, then there is nothing to guess in his case, it is guaranteed that just he will basically fall into huge losses. So do not take trading as a profession at first, because you can face huge losses here at any time, it is impossible to survive here without long-term experience.
