Why we must choose longterm investment over trading.

[Cryptohygenic]

However, instead of thinking or stressing off over temporary gains that can only sustain us for the moment, why can't  we put more energy on securing a better future for ourself and that of our children, and this can only be possible base on our present decision of investing on a long run.

Temporary gain u call am? Is like u don forget or u now even know say as a long term investor you still need funds within the short terms tin settle ur immediate needs.
I fit also tell u say if not for the risks in trading almost every investors go turn out to be traders and be accumulating their for the long term.
Wetin just dey there be say trading no be com chop and for the fact we need prepare for the future, we really need the investment and since the journey no be today's journey, e no make sense to begin chase am with the means of making it quickly on trading while the safest strategy na to invest and relax ur mind by hodling without mental stress and the risk alike risk of gambling bcos of impatient to keep hopeful in the future way u supposed even dey indeed needed.

It is not a must to invest for long term investment, it's individuals choice to decide if they are going to invest for long term or trading because you're not the one providing the money for them. Although long term investment is more real than trading for Short term which I'm sure that those that chooses trading over Long term investment knows about it but due to how inquisitive they are in making profit has led them into trading, and I'm not against that provided that they are making profit in what they are doing I think that's what matters but if they are not, then I will advise they divert into Long term investment.

E dey very important say sometimes make we dey understand something very well before we dey talk about am, because e get pipo wey be say no know about d tin, but their first time to hear about d tin na fit be for your post and you go fit don go mislead dem with the wrong information, dis na because  wetin OP talk no be wetin I agree with and no be because say e dey completely wrong, but na because some big misconception full am.

Trading no be bad thing, fist know dat wan use hold ya side, pipo dey actually make am for trading, no be everybody wey trading no dey favour, Trading na fast way to make money and also one of the hardest way to make money for crypto, dem dey actually  do trading professionally like job wey person dey do and dem dey pay am. D main thing be say if you no sabi am or u no get d eye, no involve. If you sabi trading well well, you fit go ahead run am. TRADING no bad d way wey OP take put am, no be something wey you no go fit advice your enemy to do, trading dey beyond that, dis na me saying, if you must trade, study it very weans go ahead tod trade, life itself na risk after all, so why risk dey fear you?

Investing for the long term is always the best but most times the people doing the investment or want to invest are not ready to wait for many years to see their portfolios mature to take profit from it. Many of them are after making money quickly and enjoy the best life they want with that money without having to think about the long term prospect of what they’re trying to accomplish.

Investing for the long term comes with less risk, but people tend to misquote it for slow growth and may possibly not live long to reap the fruit of their labours. Approaching the market with the right mindset to get to choose what is best for you is the right kind of approach we should emulate. Already making a mistake coming into the market the first time can affect your overall experience of the market and may also have a last longing effect on how you see the market forever.

Your point is valid but this doesn't mean that trading does not work for people, there are people that are making a lot of profit from trading and losing money when It comes to long term investments. Even though trading is dangerous it has principles that when they are properly followed losses will be reduced. Everyone cannot do the same thing in crypto that is because we all have our preference. Investment has proven to be the safest overtime but it also has it's risks. A lot of people prefer to trade and others prefer to run Long term Investments it is a matter of Choice.

It is true that investing in Bitcoin is more easier than trading, but it's not everyone that have the patience to hold for long, you might disagree with their choice of actions but everyone must not do things the same way.

I have already highlighted it that everyone have the right to freedom of choice of investment. Moreover I'm not in a better position in deciding for anybody on what to invest in, I will only suggest but I can't force anyone against his will. Perhaps, real life experience will make us understand better on the right path to go.

I disagree with your description of trading. There is no doubt that trading is risky. But trading is not bad and it is not like a death trap. If you search, you will still find millions of traders, not that they are stuck in a death trap.

And I am pretty sure their is no where I stated on my write up that trading is a death trap unless you weren't getting it right. I no people are still making cool cash from it but only when you know what you're doing which is still not guaranteed. However, i don't care how we try to twist it, the fact remain that trading is still  risky and never an option for a person that is more concern about building a future, the only thing I can boldly recommend till tomorrow is the long term plan and that is it.

When it comes to bitcoin I will always prefer long term investment over short term trading, people who want otherwise are likely doing so because they want to feel among, with the way unexplained wealth seems to be flying around of late there are people who just don't want to be left behind to the point where they will do anything as long as it promises money as quickly as possible but if a person is actually thinking about their future then bitcoin investment will make more sense to them, they just have to look beyond the short term gain.

All are absolutely profitable but it just depends on our understanding, knowledge and experience too. Trading is profitable and many more people are making profits from it and trading is working perfectly for many people, but in trading losses are part of the journey and it is inevitable so we can’t run from it.
And one thing we must understand to about holding and get right is that success in holding isn’t guaranteed at all but when we follow the right path and right strategy then we might end up standing higher chances of good returns.
Trading and holding are all risky and success isn’t something that is guaranteed so it advisable to approach with caution.

@Finebone, Tetu100 said things the way he feels and such statement is for a reason, wether we like it or not, trading is every much risky and you've also confirmed it, the guy also highlighted that as one of the reasons why he can not advice anyone to invest in Bitcoin or is that reason not enough? I have heard of pro traders but trading generally is what it is, although since traidng requires much skills for someone that chose that part, I believe that those that got the skill will know the way to navigate through but whichever way it is, trading remains risky and for Tetu100 to say that i don't think that he is wrong.

You are right trading is risky but if you know your way and your way and your knowledgeable in it,you can minimise your losses and maximise your profits. If you have the knowledge you can make steady profits through it but it is not advisable to depends on if for survival due to the risk involved. However, trading is profitable but its risky which is why long-term investment is better because you can mitigate your risk through regular DCAing and by holding over the long term you will be profitable.

There is absolutely nothing under the sun that doesn't come with risk. Trading is not exempted, every successful person first built their determination and advanced into proper knowledge before working on experience. There are people making it big in trading and that doesn't mean they too don't record losses it just that they have mastered how to balance their gains and loss such that their gains surpasses losses. I can't discourage anyone on their path to financial freedom all I will do is make them understand the risk and encourage them to gain enough knowledge before embarking and at the same time get mentorship to help track their efforts if it is on the right path.
