Trading and long-term investing

[Wakate]

Trading is no doubt a risky thing and it's important to figure out that whether you can handle the risk associated with trading or not. The sooner your realise that whether you can continue trading or not, better it is for you. Even experienced trader find it difficult to handle wild fire of trading at times. I tried trading and quit that quite early because I figured out that it's not for me and switch to long term investing. The return given by long term investment is more guaranteed compared to profit you get in trading. Moreover investing for long term is hassle free compared to trading.

Apart from the risk in trading, It is necessary for people to know that if they don't have the skill, they have to forget nothing about trading because it can be very risky for anyone that want to trade because they heard that if they can know how to trade, they can make huge money from the market, this can be a fallacy and not an investment everybody can involve themselves.

It's important to be aware of whether trading is right for you. This way, you can avoid having too high expectations. As far as I know, some people who end up trading are simply looking for quick profits, without considering whether they can afford losses.
It's better to acknowledge whether you're suited to it. If you don't feel like you're suited to it and still want to trade, you'll learn more to improve your skills and at least bring them closer to a better level.

This is a common mistake many people make they aren't actually suited to trading but they force themselves to do so. Trading is a complex activity that requires mastery of several aspects as it's short-term and the market fluctuates constantly.

Trading isn't suitable for everyone and it's only suitable for those with a deep understanding. If you don't feel like you have much knowledge about trading don't push yourself too hard. Even if you're interested in the crypto world you can try long term investing as the risks are lower than trading. The most dangerous thing is when people assume trading doesn't require skill but instead assume it's all about luck.

Many folk initially do not understand the difference between investing and trading. They are the ones who lose money most of the time. The explanation you have provided will be helpful for the newbies.
Investing is a reliable way especially for those who are newbies and do not have much knowledge about currencies. Long term investing is to take a continuous savings strategy such as Dollar Cost Averaging or DCA strategy. Deposit Bitcoin through this strategy. By depositing Bitcoin in the long term, you can become an investor.

Short term trading is a temporary strategy through which you buy a currency and sell it when the price increases. But trading is very risky and the chances of loss are very high, just like gambling.

Yes I completely agree with you. Especially in the case of a new person, this happens. When a new person first starts trading or starts learning, he thinks that within 3 months or 1 month he will learn everything and start making a lot of money. But when they start trading with their money, they lose a lot of money. The biggest reason for their loss is that they do not know the right information.

It is very important for a person to remember that it takes a lot of time to learn trading. Trading is not a story. There are many things to learn to learn trading. The most important thing for a person is financial management. If a person can trade well, if he is not able to manage his money properly, then he can never be profitable.

Those who trade without checking whether it's suitable for them are essentially impatient and only seeking quick profits. For them long term investing takes time and requires extra patience. Trading on the other hand can yield quicker profits but also carries high risks.

I assume they trade because they are inherently impatient and want quick results. This mindset is what makes many beginners more attracted to trading than investing even though if they truly studied long term investing it would be better than trading. Although trading offers quick profits it carries high risks and requires adequate skills.

In trading no one can go to a big stage without a big loss, everyone is sure to lose in the first stage, but those who learn more deeply after a loss can move forward, but those who become emotional after a loss, they stop there, and if they continue, they face more losses. So it depends on your mindset, how you look at it, as long as you can keep the mindset of continuing to learn more, even if you lose, you will be educated at some point and will continue to achieve good results from it. But if you do not have a learning mindset, then even if you lose, you will not improve from there, so you will always be like a failure.

I think that trading is a short time profit and soon will lead to depresion when you start to lose sometimes I consider it as gambling
I always stick to investing on coins constantly every time I have the chance to

I also made a thread about the method that I use to stack Bitcoins  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5559800.msg65832383#msg65832383

Well, that's not completely correct, because it completely depends on person to person such as someone who have enough knowledge of trading then obviously he will not lead too much loses as his expertise will lead him how much risk will be good for a big reward with a proper trading plan. Honestly Trading never ever push you into depression If you truly follow discipline and trading rules, morever regarding your statement that trading is gambling which I completely denied as because taking calculated risks isn't gambling.

There is no doubt that investment plan has mostly low risk with big profit in long term as compared to trading, Morever it is also true that trading has high risk with a big profit if you know sound knowledge and trading ethics.

It is very normal to lose money when trading in new situations. So if you don't trade because you are afraid of losing money, you will never learn trading. Trading is a learning process. It is important to learn trading properly from an experienced trader.

Yes, you are right, the most important thing in trading is mindset. Once you lose while trading, you have to learn from it and do the next trade again. When a new trader can acquire this kind of mindset, he can become a trader.

Accumulation coin is better than making money from trading in a new situation. You need to learn trading and gradually learn about the coin by evaluating the market conditions. For example learn the market conditions by accumulation Bitcoin. Although trading is risky and there is a high chance of losing money, experience can give you high profits. Allocate a limited fund for trading and consider this fund worth losing. Maintain liquidity with limited funds to gain trading experience. Increase the fund size as experience increases.

The one thing that trading and investment have in common in cryptocurrency is that the holders wants to make profit from them, aside from both being profit oriented they are both different in approach. Traders aims are to buy and sell on the short term to make quick profits while investors aim to hold their coins for a reasonably long term when the value will increase many times over during ATH. But we need to know that it is not all coins that are worth investing in, most of them don't have any utilities many are scam projects so it is important to research before you invest your money into any cryptocurrency for a very long time.

The loses we make is part of the struggles to reach the top. Thsoe people that are being called profitable traders got to that level not without losing money to trading. Trading should be very profitable for those that have worked hard and gotten to different stages in trading. There are time when you will lose and ask a lot of questions why you are not making profits. That is the reality!

The important thing is not to get caught up in the atmosphere, as many speculators in the market often lure other users into joining their small, temporary pump-ups. In a real market, its movements remain relaxed, adapting to frictional conditions or other important factors, such as BTC movements.

However, speculative individuals can be a bit eccentric and different. As you said above, it's best to avoid them and ignore them if you encounter them.

An investor is someone who has been willing to wait for years for the moment when he can make a good profit. But most people want to make money right now, and that's why they choose short-term trading.
