Why we must choose longterm investment over trading.

[Gamanka@@]

Their is no doubt, country is very hard at the moment and everybody is looking for a possible way of survival. So for this reason many new investors are now going into trading thinking that's is the fastest way of hitting it big of which their is a repercussion that they are not really considering before going into it.

Trading is one thing I can't even advice my worst enemy to go into it when I'm aware of how risky it is and how it's capable of draining someone in just a go. However, investing in bitcoin is based on personal decision and offcurse everyone has the right to choice of investment, but the longterm plan is way better and recommendable for those that are curious to know. Perhaps, we may be thinking of taking care of one or two expensive with some quick profits, but have we ever thought of losing everything we have laboured for by just a single trial? It's possible if you are thinking otherwise.

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.

Obviously I think  choosing longterm investments over trading is a wise  Idea,  regarding to short-term investment longterm is advisable but if you are capable  of doing it,  because its a  risk with  rewards why I said so is one have to be strong enough to take  mindset of bearing the longterm investment if not  he or she loses interest in the investment.

Moreover, investment is based on  personal choice one can decide on is own, because firstly before going in to it you needs deeper understanding, of longterm investment and also short-term investments to know  of more benefits of each, but fair enough ideally if really one  wants to benefit more and more longterm is recommended than short-term.

Engaging in trading with your bitcoin asset is very risky, and not advisable. Whoever that is trading with his or her bitcoin asset should be ready to loose his money. Long term investment is the only way Bitcoin can reward investors without giving much stress, and is sure. Yes we, quite understand that the economy is tough but trading your bitcoin asset will end up doing you more harm than good. No wonder some people are complaining of making losses in bitcoin, looking as if bitcoin has no strategy that is convenient for long term profit. As bitcoin investors inpatient is what makes us loose our asset, as we are always looking for a short cut to make fast money.

I believe what can sometimes be overlooked is not necessarily about trading, it's about trading without any clear plan. The problem is that some misguided individuals will just jump into trading because they see other people posting on social media about making quick millions from trading and they will go into trading without a clear plan then when the market turns against them, they start to panic.

Bitcoin always tests people's emotions. Fears actually cause too many people to sell too early and greed causes many people to take huge risks that they will never try on a normal day. So whether someone actually want to trade their Bitcoin or choose to hold Bitcoin, always managing your emotions is as important as understanding the market.

Many times traders lose money because they become too emotional and trade based on the immediate price action rather than their trading strategies.

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.

You get point sha.. At the end of the day na personal choice, nobody dey force anybody.. 
If person fit handle trading and e dey bring am profit, fine.. If e no dey work or e dey stress person too much, then long term investing like DCA fit just make sense for them..
Na just understanding wetin you fit manage without wahala be the main thing. But still I still feel say longterm na the best approach when it comes to Bitcoin..

Surely, nothing sweet pass the choice way you make by yourself and not the one way person make for you. Maybe op no understand say them no dey force person into something, because from his statement " why we must choose longtime Investment over trading" that must" is more like forcing someone to agree or do something. For bitcoin investment them no dey force person for anything if you feel that trading is best for you or that's the side you would achieve whatever you want to achieve, then you have every right to do so, the reason why we are advised to focus on Long term investment is because it minimize risk, but in trading there's a high level of risk.

The decision that is taken by anyone is not easy to let go , we can only make someone to know the reason why he or she most choose Long term investment over trading which is a short term vision. Until someone with a short term trading mindset see reason with you why long term investment should be prioritized over trading such a person will not give attention to what you are saying because, you have not made him to understand why he should do so.


Life is a all about choice, the choices that we take is what defines us as individual. But the kind of choice is determined by the kind of information that we are exposed to so this all bends down to exposure to information.

Omo make everybody just de do the thing wey go favour them because everybody come this life to find money. What's the way forward? If not to get locked in and find this money and we know say for us to find this money, na correct update we go need and to find oh because making money is not as easy as it seems. When it involves the market, we go do everything within our power to make sure say we go hit major profits because the market itself no de friendly to those of us wey dey overlook things.

Long-term investment over trading, omo that one na for whales in the market because they know their portfolio and weytin e fit carry, while traders go de look chart and anticipate in spot trading. Anyone better.

No matter how the country hard reach I will never choose to going into trading think that it will be better than the investments, I will rather staying in the investments than going to trading that is involved of so much risks, but that’s why some people’s didn’t understand but they think they can easily get a huge amount of from the trading that’s why they seem the investments as easy of time.

But choose long term investment in the best way to get the best out of your portfolio in future markets. Because what ever how the market goes bad with time it can definitely come back normal and pump up, and that’s why the   long term investments deserves patience.

[Queen uloma]

Many people Dey focus more to make quick money so that dem fit use am cover up some of their major expense. Dat thought of losing everything you work hard for, for one single trade, don come through your mind before? E fit happen, no matter how sure you Dey Rather than to focus all your attention on short term gains way  go only provide temporary relief, y not put that effort to secure better future for yourself and your family. You fit only achieve all this through wise financial decision. My own opinion be say, consistency and patience na easiest way to achieve financial growth instead of to chase after quick profits. To build wealth they take time but the rewards Dey  sustainable and greater in long term.

[liasbaa]

As you mentioned in the first paragraph that our country is going through a difficult time. I also agree with you that in this situation everyone needs extra money. As an easy way, some gamble or some try to increase their funds through trading.

The reality is that most traders do not succeed in financial difficulties because they want to earn a lot of money in a short time. However, if you want to be successful in trading, you need to plan in accordance with the market system and have a holding attitude to practice long-term investment.

Strategies that plan to increase funds quickly are most often not successful because the risk of trading is like gambling. Just as a gambler gambles with the risk of losing money, a trader also has to consider the same level of risk. To take financial risks, you need to be risk-tolerant and have backup funds available. It is better for traders suffering from financial difficulties not to trade.

[Moreno233]

If I'm face with chosing only one option,  then I will go with long term investment because the risk of losing my money there is very low. However,  if I have the means of doing both long term investment and trading together, I will definitely do both as long as I have learnt the skill required to be profitable in trading. But I will be careful to be able to separate the money for investmemt from the money for trading and will never let them mix as they are different businesses. Trading can be a very good way of building wealth, just that it has higher risk compared to long term investmemt.

Many people Dey focus more to make quick money so that dem fit use am cover up some of their major expense. Dat thought of losing everything you work hard for, for one single trade, don come through your mind before? E fit happen, no matter how sure you Dey Rather than to focus all your attention on short term gains way  go only provide temporary relief, y not put that effort to secure better future for yourself and your family. You fit only achieve all this through wise financial decision. My own opinion be say, consistency and patience na easiest way to achieve financial growth instead of to chase after quick profits. To build wealth they take time but the rewards Dey  sustainable and greater in long term.

That's just the main thing and funny enough how some people don't even think from that direction that you are thinking at. All they are after is on how to make quick profits which is not that easy, and sometimes even when their village people dey after them, everything they have gotten all their life will just go just like that.  And again just as you said, the bitter truth is that some people don't just want to stress in their life, all they want is soft life perhaps they lack the patient in waiting for long-term investment plan which is the possible way we're talking about. However, their is no short cut to success as long as nature is concerned, If you must do great in it then you must be ready to go for the long-term investment plan and pay the supreme price which is patient and consistency which I believe is the only way out to success.

Both are quite risky but the risk in trading is much more higher than that of long term holding. Trading has high risk and if care isn’t taken properly then easily we can loss money within short period of time.
If it is that I have the privilege and options of doing both then I will gladly accept such privilege because with long term investment I can hope for future goals in there and with trading if I focus on it so much and meet the requirements then easily I can be profitable and hit a massive milestone.
I know it would be gradually not just so sudden the way I sound but I will give it the patience.

Despite how risky trading is, there are still a few traders who are making money from it. The main reason people keep complaining about how risky trading is, is that most of those losing money in trading are newbies who do not have a good level of knowledge about trading but simply jump into it.If someone wants to be successful in whatever he or she chooses to do, that person must first seek good knowledge so they can make sound decisions. Therefore, if someone does not have adequate knowledge about trading, they will continue to experience losses.

Many people see trading as simply buying and selling, and that is why they keep experiencing losses. However, those who have proper knowledge about trading, despite losing sometimes, still make profits, and that is what keeps them trading.Anyone who is ready to trade must first learn. Trading is not as bad as many people claim when someone is well prepared for it. It is also true that long term investing gives peace of mind because a person does not have to keep stressing or becoming frustrated by time to time the results.

Investment decisions are completely personal but I definitely prefer to invest consistently with a long-term plan.  It is true that by investing consistently with a long-term plan the chances of losing money are relatively low.  Making money through trading is not easy, it is very challenging because you have to understand the volatility of the market systematically and use strategies and be patient to enter the market at the right time and exit the market at the right time by controlling greed, one wrong decision can take away all my money, so it is wise to invest consistently with a long-term plan instead of thinking about making money quickly.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Trading is a very risky way of making money, yeah, but realistically, if you take your time to learn it and maybe it finally clicked for you, then the person's life will change, but the truth is that, success in trading comes with so much pain, real pain because the losses are going to be so much bro, that's why preferably, investing and holding Bitcoin for the long term is better and less risky.

No doubt, their are still some few expert that are still making real cash from it but through this, many newbies has been mislead thinking it's the easiest way in making their way to success. Therefore, risk losing everything they have along the line just to follow the trend they aren't that sure of. However, nobody is condemning trading to be an abominable act but if anyone feel he's competent enough or possess the skill in doing great then fine, maybe experience they say is the greatest teacher and the best language everyone easily understand.

Trading and investment are two different things so it’s up for everyone to decide which one they want to embark on. There are those who wants to make very quick profit In bitcoin and there are those who wants to build wealth through bitcoin. Looking for a quick profit leads you into trading, but if you truly want to build wealth in bitcoin then trading is not for you, what you should be looking out for is long term investment of which I believe that’s probably what everyone will want out of bitcoin, not just to make a quick gain that wil still end up buying another bitcoin on a higher price which could lead to a possible loss. Building wealth through bitcoin investment is the real goal.

Everybody wey de inside di Bitcoin market get dem reasons for holding di coin and na di reason go determine whether dem go hold for long term or short term. Trading de riskier and different than investment because Bitcoin na volatile asset, you fit to buy and hold with hope say make di price increase so dat you go take profit but e fit to happen say price go de dip, di more wey you de wait make e increase e fit to de dip more.

For Bitcoin investment you no need to worry if price de dip infact na dat time be di best opportunity to de accumulate more because if price recover and come de bullish you go de fo plenty profit. Remember say Bitcoin investment no be get rich quick scheme, di price no de increase overnight, you need to get patience as a Bitcoin investor.

Trading will destabilize your sanity and you will become worried if price dey dip while long term will give you calmness in whatever that is happening in the market, those trading are really putting so much of their emotions at risk because of the nature of the market and I really feel for them, it is more preferable to choose long as their is more to be gained compared to trading which comes in short term, anything quick money is very risky let's be patient by investment in the long term, many people want quick money and the only reason why they are trading.

Nowadays, most people have less patience, initially they enter the market with long-term investment preparation but later they withdraw from it, this is a mistake they make, due to which they fall behind. But if a person wants to benefit from his investment, then first of all he has to come to the market with a long-term plan, and continue investing for 4-10 years. There is no possibility of guaranteed profit here, but it is expected that he will improve his investment position a lot in 4-10 years.

The fact that country is hard doesn't mean you should go for short-term gains, because that has been the mentality of so many people, especially beginners. No matter the condition or situation of the country, we can still do better with a good planning and achieve whatever we want.

Trading isn't not as bad as we always think, because you can still make it through if you know how it works. So everything about trading is all about having the proper knowledge, nothing more than that. The risk can't even be compared to Bitcoin investment, which is why we don't need bother ourselves too much, since everything is possible at any time.
