Investment or Trading

[Dreadboost]

Different individuals have different perspective on the way they view these 2
For most people they feel investment take more time and they desire money that takes little period of time so they head into trading
But there is actually a fit for any individual. Nevertheless if you want to be on the safer side I will advise to go for investment.

Investment is putting money into an asset letting grow in value with time, it's less stressful, historically more successful in building long term wealth,

Trading on the other hand requires whey more, compared to investment, it is more risky, more emotionally draining, and requires more discipline and skill compared to investment,
But in trading you can get good amount of money in a short period of time, what will take you 5 years to get in investment, it will take a profitable trader 1 year or less to get it in trading
But the requirements to get profitable in trading demands alot including loss of money and personality

So between this two, if I will advise any one trying to make a decision on which one he or she should go for, I will tell him or her to go for investment,
Investment is more suitable and friendly for most people because it requires less emotional pressure and it's more easy going. The most important requirements you need for investment is just patient, unlike trading where you easily get pressurised because of the high risk involved.
Investment allows individuals to grow their wealth steady and consistent while focusing on the long term results.

Patience is not the only important thing you need in investment; you also need to do good research about what you are investing in. It's not as easy as we think unless you are only limiting your investing asset to Bitcoin or a few already known value assets out there, which is not limited to cryptocurrency. Even with that, I consider research to know the right way to invest to also be very important. Investing in the wrong asset can destroy your investment faster than trading.

Here you have mentioned only time and risk in trading and investing. There is something else that you may have forgotten. The big difference between trading and investing comes down to mental capacity and financial foundation and your own goals. Yes, most people come to trading to earn quick money, but they don't want to take one thing into consideration, which is that trading is actually a high skill profession, where experience, discipline and mental control are very important to be successful.

On the other hand, you don't need much technical knowledge to be successful in investing. The history of Bitcoin is the biggest proof of this. Those who have been holding Bitcoin by DCA regularly around 2016 or 2017, are making significant returns today without doing market timing or trading. The main skill here was only one, and that is patience.
I personally think that first it is necessary to build a strong financial foundation through investment.
Then if someone is interested, then trading can be learned with a very small amount. And the purpose of this will be learning. Not for income.

Of course someone that wants to invest into something must know the basics of what they're about going into then have the available funds for going into it, I don't expect that someone should invest blindly cause it's Bitcoin, without having any idea of what they're doing. Anyways, having patience is very important since Bitcoin is a long-term investment.
 However everyone has a choice of whether to go into trading or to invest in Bitcoin, both can be profitable but trading is more riskier and shouldn't be given attention by newbies, they should go for Bitcoin investment cause it has a strategy that could help them manage risk, which is the DCA. Trading requires someone with advanced knowledge about cryptocurrency and can analyse the market well.

You are right about the patience required as a tool to a better investment. Like you said, I also have the believe that the greatest tool, not the only tool, you need in bitcoin investment is patience unlike the trading aspect where you are more pressured to make fast decisions because of the short term price movements and the high risks involved in it, bitcoin investment on the other hand is more flexible but requires you to be very patient because you need to be patient to hold on in the market for long.

But whether patience alone is enough for you to become a master in investment is something that I will say no to. I would instead say that despite being patient, you also need to do alot of researches around the subject. You need to understand what you are putting your money into bitcoin, though less of bitcoin and more of other assets, and why you are doing so, so that you don't wipe out all the profits and capital you've injected which is quite possible.

Investment and trading and using either of them depends on what the individual want. Investment is not as difficult as trading, investment requires patience and knowing the type of investment you are making is very essential and that is the main reason why it is important to make your research before investing. Trading is very difficult and requires skill to become a good trader and more also, a trader cannot be successful all the time, some time you can loose  part of your money money in trading or even all.

Choosing between investment and trading depends on individual and risk tolerance. While some people can withstand the pressure of loosing money while trading, other people cannot withstand it and their are people who can endure with their long time investment, others lacks patience and endurance.

Some people can cannot endure Bitcoin long time investment and this reason makes them trade Bitcoin instead of investment. Meanwhile those who invest in bitcoin with patience makes the most profit.

For me, trading is similar to gambling though, you need skills to trade and not luck but in the long run the market will go against you and you will lose more than the profits you made. I call it gambling because the price movement of bitcoin is unpredictable and past records is not a guarantee for future performance. Go on a long-term bitcoin investment and stay focus on building your investment.

Both of them... They both work hand in hand you cannot be a successful trader if you don't invest and you can't just enter into trading without having the mind of investing. Trading in itself is a form of investment although it's a high risk one. Problem with people these days is they measure investments only with capital.

The profit in investments comes from compounding value not just volume. Trading on the other hand is something that people usually mess up with greed.

[Callido]

So between this two, if I will advise any one trying to make a decision on which one he or she should go for, I will tell him or her to go for investment

Anyone can do both and still make the most out of it, there is little or sometimes no gain from trading, but however, there are lucky ones that make profits from trading, so it is unfair to cancel out trading for those who see the need.

Comparing trading to investment, i rather buy and hold as simple at it looks, it is either you profit or loss in trading, while investment carries certainty as long as you hold and sell when the price is high above what you bought.

[I_Anime]

Both are good it just boils down to the individual engaging in them… both are risky, but still trading is quite riskier but if you can master both you can be successful in them , trading tend to be more complex compared to of investment due to some technical requirements needed to master the market as a trader . Just as there are many successful investors there are also successful traders , and most traders are even investors that make both works hand to hand with each other.

[Jegileman]

Let me exaggerate this more, what it takes an investor five years to get from an investment, it takes a profitable trader just few days to get that money back using high risk. Investment is for those that can’t battle with emotions, and can easily get lost in the process of trading and can’t afford to accept losses upon losses and an eventual liquidation of account.

You have explained the two very well, it is now left for one to select which of them best fits them more for the kind of person they are and what they’re looking up to achieve in the long term. Both of them can be risky but the eventuality of the risk happening and at a very big standard is more liable for traders than it is for investors.

Between investing and trading, a person can choose whichever they want, it is a personal matter. However, whatever we do, gaining knowledge first and then choosing to invest or trade can reduce the risk of losing extra money, and as a result success can be expected.

From my perspective, it is wiser to choose investment over trading. By investing consistently, you can reduce excess risk and expect long-term profits. Although it takes a long time to make money by investing, I still prefer investing because by managing long-term investments, you can manage your investments gradually, which does not put additional financial pressure on yourself, in addition, you can learn from your previous mistakes and manage your investments more carefully, which can lead to success.

You can make money through trading, but it is very important to have the right knowledge. In addition, it is very important to observe the market volatility well and enter at the right time. In addition, it is very important to use different strategies at different times and take your time without getting frustrated. Many people think that you can easily make money quickly through trading, but this is not the case. When you enter the market without taking the time to make money quickly, without understanding anything, and without waiting for the right time, the chances of losing money increase manifold. Trading is not a very easy way to make money, it is very complicated, but applying the right knowledge and skills success can be expected.

So between this two, if I will advise any one trying to make a decision on which one he or she should go for, I will tell him or her to go for investment,

Investment is till d best. If you wan advise person wey just dey enter crypto space, dem just tell d person make him just find money invest in bitcoin, rather than trading.

If u dey trade u go dey make money but make I no lie give u, d risk wey dey trading dey more than d risk wey dey investment. If u never too dey into crypto space, u go just dey loss money if u dey trade, and if u wan dey trade e require time and attention, u go dey focused always and u go still lose money.

If u wan dey invest, no be say u need dey monitor d market frequently like trade, if u dey invest, then it’s less risky compare with if u dey trade. If u wan dey invest, just make sure say u use DCA strategy, just dey invest in bitcoin gradually and with time u go don accumulate plenty bitcoin, and u no need dey check d market either bitcoin dey up or down.

Both investment and trading requires patience but it is funny that people think since investment isn't really serious as trading then it doesn't require much research..people that think like this end up getting surprised, if you don't make research and do what you are supposed to in order to gain knowledge on it then there is no point in investing just yet. it's important to gather enough knowledge first before you think about trading or investing, another thing to have in check is to make sure you have a source of income

[Cleanslate_]

Investment in bitcoin still remains the best and cannot be compared to trading, i will advise going for investment because in bitcoin investment, you have small or nothing to lose since you are investing with your discretionary income and your strategy is the dca since you can save with $10 daily,weekly and monthly without affecting your monthly expenses as long as you can figure it out on your own and will invest for long term not a short term which will make you be a trader and not an investor

[coinlary]

In as much as I don't dispute trading, I would not actually advise anyone to trade Bitcoin particularly.

It is not worth it in the long run because most people choose a path in trading that could give them more profits in a short period of time, and this leads to losing a lot of money in a short period just as you can make a lot of money within that same timeframe. You cannot beat the market movers, and they are ready to liquidate as many greedy individuals as possible just to keep more money in their pockets. Don't believe me? Check the number of people getting liquidated every single month.

I will always prefer investment over trading every day of my life, the mental torture that comes with trading is something I can't face personally, I find it uncomfortable by looking at the screen all day trying to take profits whenever it goes my way and get depressed whenever it goes against me, nah, I cant do that, be leaving the whole day with both joy and anger.

I don’t buy your saying that, unlike trading, investment is less hard or stressful. I get your points, but it seems like in this line I’m quoting, you’re seeing investment as something or an asset you’ll just put money into and it starts growing all of a sudden.

The truth is, investments also take work, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Researching opportunities, timing your entry, monitoring markets, managing risks, and staying disciplined can be just as draining as trading. The difference is that investment stress may come slower or less visibly, but it’s still very real. Success in either requires patience, strategy, and self-control.

[Gifte001]

To me investment is more favourable, sustainable than trading because once you invest on something it'll will hold on for extended periods of time. Investing reduces stress, time taken and investors will even have time to do other things not like trading that you have to be committed to it, and requires constant market, location just to avoid losses for me i think investment is more preferable than trading

The idea that investing will increase your wealth is not true for all investors. It would be wrong to assume that the value of the asset you buy will definitely increase in the future. Consider crypto assets for example. Most of the altcoins that exist in the market are not the right decision for long term investment. Accumulation Bitcoin as a long term investment strategy will increase your portfolio. Long term accumulation strategy through discretionary income will increase your wealth.

Trading on the other hand requires whey more, compared to investment, it is more risky, more emotionally draining, and requires more discipline and skill compared to investment,

You are right that trading is much riskier than investing. You do not need to acquire much knowledge to learn investing. You can accumulation Bitcoin with available funds or through discretionary income. To profit from trading you need a lot of capital and you have to spend a lot of time analyzing the market and there is a high chance of losing a lot. A trader has to go through many steps to reach the stage of making money by becoming experienced. Even if you are skilled it is uncertain to make a profit.

In conclusion, long term Bitcoin investment is a much more effective way to gain financial benefits than short term trading. It offers simple investment strategies and guarantees a potentially sustainable future.
