There's no need for a doctor or a prophet to explain the obvious mental anguish associated with trading. Every news of increase or decrease of Bitcoin or shitcoin if that is the case will raise concern of which this pressure is neglected in Bitcoin investment. To give a direct answer to "Is trading more stressful mentally than long term investment?", trading is a mental stressor that can even cause high blood pressure . So just imagine the effects trading will have on a trader who already has high blood pressure? Hospital or treatment every time? Painfully trading can cause a trader to loss their life savings even.
Even on strategic trading plan like the op that's investing while getting Bitcoin separately for trading, trading can still rob a trader night sleep.

Yes, trading is much riskier and more stressful than long term investing. Trading involves mental stress, such as high daily stress, sleep disturbances, and high blood pressure when witnessing market crashes. Furthermore, financial losses can be quickly wiped out especially if you're trading in cryptocurrency. Furthermore, trading has a rapid feedback loop because you receive direct "value" from the market every day. Losing today will put you under immediate pressure. Meanwhile, you can lose money on a good investment, but as long as you don't sell that's fundamentally correct as in investing you simply need to be patient and hold on.

The point is, trading does carry much greater pressure. In fact, many successful investors fail because they can't handle the pressure. What I mean is, trading isn't easy it requires mastering many aspects unlike investing. In trading you must have a system, strict rules and a strong mentality.

Trading is more stressful, riskier, emotionally draining than that of investment, although even as it has all these attached to it, it's also good to know that it's rewards are significantly more higher that's that of long investment in the range of the same time calculation.

Regardless I will tell a neutral person to go for investment because it's the safer option, and it wouldn't stress you much. Any one who choose to trade at this time is as a result of his or her personal decision because no wan will want to put you into something that can be stressful and draining emotionaly and financially.
It is very challenging to achieve success in trading because you need to understand the volatility of the market well and apply strategies according to the time and enter the market at the right time with patience. If you cannot enter the market at the right time, the chances of losing money can increase to a great extent, so I think it is wise to invest consistently with a long-term plan because it reduces the risk of losing money and increases the chances of making money in the long run.
Many people see trading as a way to make easy money, but in reality it is a very difficult thing, but beginners do not understand these at first. In order to achieve something good from trading, we have to trade very carefully through market research, and for these, risk management, money management, controlling our emotions, and managing greed, these issues should also be given equal importance, here, decisions taken in a hurry can only harm you a lot, so if you want to create a good position for yourself here, you have to be skilled first, and this is never an easy matter. So first you have to understand the risks of trading well, if you trade with emotion only thinking about profit, it cannot give any effective results, trading with emotion can only bring more losses.

Trading is actually very stressful and like you said and when it comes to risk it commands a lot of it and this is one of the reasons why if you want to trade you should know that it comes with a lot of risk and you also have to be emotionally prepared because when it comes to trading and when it actually comes to trading you will get a quicker profit than holding because holding takes a longer period for you to start making profit.

I think any other person should start with holding because it has less risk and that is why we should encourage beginners to start with holding because that will be very easy for them dto handle but anything aside that is always comes with emotional constraints so we just have to decide who is easier to do.

That is true in theory. But in reality, after dealing with more stress, more risk and exhaustion, traders usually end up losing more money than they make.

The reality is that the longer you keep trading, the more likely you are to end up losing money.

Believe me, if you spend that much money and that many year trading only to end up losing, you could have made a decent profit by simply investing for the long term from the start.
