Why we must choose longterm investment over trading.

[Slimzeee]

Trading is only risky, Yes that is true. It doesn't necessarily mean that once you go into it, you will lose all your money. Yes, long-term investment and holding Bitcoin is safer, but at the end of the day, nobody guarantees you anything.

If you are investing in Bitcoin, I think you can divide your portfolio, some for long-term investment and some for trading if you have the experience. Remember, the key word here is experience.

Also, note that for you to be good or better at trading, you need to be willing to incur losses at some point in time.

Everyone have the right to choose which ever investment method they prefer, needs I remind them that short term investment will not Guarantee anyone huge profit except they just get lucky that the price increases which is under probability, but profit is sure for long term investment. Long term investment comes with lots of benefits aside the profit it has helps an investor stay sane and not bothered over the rise and fall in price, and huge profit is guaranteed in long term investment, I have not started investing yet but I am looking forward to it, and I will adopt the long term investment.

Where did you learn this type of trading? There are trades you will enter and you can lose everything and it's nothing other than leverage. Whether you like perpetual trades, futures, margin and other type of trades that are not spot trade, you can lose everything you have on it as long as it is not sport. You see that future, nothing scare me compared to it yet traders that does it every time and lose everything, there are many of them crying on front page of Binance.

I have never seen a person that bought the right coin and regret before. By right coin I mean Bitcoin and some top altcoins. Some alts are actually been disgraceful since the last year but I can tell you that they are better than some people that are chasing profits they will never make from the market. You see those things they show off, that's not what they trade and sometimes, they do edits pictures from real traders that show their side of winning.

Well I agree with you to some extent but you are not completely right because in Bitcoin investment even though we are holding for the long term profit is not guarantee or certain as a matter of fact that is why we are not to invest with money outside our discretionary income though there is a chance someone will make profit if they hold for long and the price of Bitcoin surge but we  can not tell how the market will behave in the long term but as an investor we hope it surge.

Each and everyone of us in this life have thier own choices or right to choose the best for themselves irrespective of how risky it's expecially when it comes to financial goals or investments strategy or planning. Some people choose to invest in bitcoin for a long-term holdings, benefits or growth in the future with a huge exercise patience, while so.e cannot even waiting for like just a week after investments, that's why many people or some people choose trading, aiming that they can just make or need a quick money easily, but it's full of risks that may leads someone to huge loses.
However, trading is just like a gambling because the habit seems these same.

[Bitcoin.com97]

I just feel life is all about choices, many may chose trading which is not good ,but since it's their choice ,they go into it and see things for themselves,while many chooses to invest for Long term which is very good, trading has more disadvantage,if you are going into Bitcoin investment with the idea of getting rich so fast ,those are the things that will motivate you to trade,but the right mindset will always keep you in check ,it is always best to choose long term investment over trading.

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.

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.

But there are many who cannot continue investing with patience and mental stability in long-term investment. They cannot maintain a long-term mindset in investment due to mental instability wrong financial planning. Therefore, long-term investing cannot be successful unless you think carefully about it rather than just trading. In terms of investment, you must first understand what kind of fund you are buying Bitcoin from. You have to invest with a fund that will not feel any pressure even if you are in a long-term holding situation. You will not need that money for any necessary purpose. Only then will it be possible to invest in Bitcoin.

Trading is dangerous, if you start knowing this, you need to be prepared. If you can trade within the necessary safety zone, then you will be able to handle dangerous situations. Adopt risk-tolerant strategies such as practicing discipline. Invest in Bitcoin for the long term to learn discipline. The experience you will have by accumulating Bitcoin for the long term in the DCA method will make it easier for you to plan for the current situation in the market. Holding Bitcoin is the best investment strategy and if you are aware of this, you will not consider any other risky strategy suitable in the future.

In the crypto space, many people go into trading because of its promise of fast profit.  But some investors prefer long-term investment because it is a less stressful pathway in building and accumulating wealth, it is sustainable and the risk level is lower than trading.
Trading demands much of attention than long-term investment, it requires steady monitoring of the market, emotional discipline and control, and technical analysis. An unexpected movement of the market can make a professional trader to suffer big loss.

Long-term investment does not require too much attention on like trading, it has a low risk level. Long-term investment focuses on accumulating bitcoin over time and allowing value grow, long-term investment dose not worry much abiut daily market volatility and fluctuations. It allows investors to accumulate bitcoin through the dollar cost Averaging strategy, which can help in the reduction of market volatility and increasing bitcoin holdings.

[Out of mind]

Compared to trading, long-term investment is basically more effective. There are fewer costs, less pressure, and if you hold it for a long time, you can get wealth. There are many benefits of long-term investment. You don't have to worry about price fluctuations all the time and it is less risky. Long-term investment saves time and relieves stress, which is much better than trading. Investment is always an effective method to make a strong asset. However, trading is not bad for everyone. For those who have sufficient knowledge, experience, risk management, and time, trading can also be profitable. For most new users, choosing long-term investment over trading is the best strategy.

If you get interest for trading, abeg take the time to study am well. You no need to pay person to teach you, them get YouTube channels way you fit learn the basics for free like how to draw support and resistance and so on. Trading no be bad thing, you just need to know wetin you dey do before you venture into am.

Trading is risky so as investment, but what them less risk is the pattern that you applied as a trader or investor. Within this forum we've been taught about how to manage risks in the appropriate way, just like what you've just mentioned "acquiring the basic knowledge". Loss is a vocabulary associated with trading and it cannot be eliminated completely, but it can be managed in order to prevent yourself from losing consistently. If a trader is knowledgeable he would be able to be on track and he will have the ability to manage everything efficiently and effectively.

‎I agree with you on that, long term investing is the better option for investors. Trading looks attractive to people because they think, they will easily get fast profits from it unlike holding where it will require longer time. That is where most of them lose their money the most. Trading requires strong emotions and decisions, a weak mentality end up with losses. Longterm investment gives asset the appropriate time to grow to it's potentials and also remove the pressure of watching or reacting to price time to time. Moreover in trading, someone will need big amounts to start unlike investing whereby you can accumulate Bitcoin with as little as $10 as long as you are consistent with it.

Holding is much more safer and reliable than trading despite the outcome of both are not something that has good guarantees but holding is much more secure. When we have the mindset of longterm holding then we will get to see the great value of the token we invest in but in trading it is very more complicated than we could imagine.
A lot of people finds trading attractive just over the high fast profits they see in it but they don’t get the main complications in it where traders needs to get their emotions in total control, feelings and mentality too, not just get confused by market movements.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

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.

I enjoy giving people advice based on how good they are on the subject that they are seeking advice on, if I see a trader that I've observed that he is very good at his job and can make a lot of money I won't discourage them from trading but then when I see a new person coming into the industry without any knowledge on investing or trading my advice will always be, they should go for investing that is when long term investing becomes the advice. For that person he isn't going to make any money trading, because he lack the required tools to become a good trader. I am not saying he can't learn along the way but to be on the safer side it is best they embark on long term investment and do other things to bring about frequent money to their hands while they wait on their Bitcoin to mature.

It is known to almost everyone that trading is very risky, and it is very hard to make profits from trading because of how unpredictable the crypto market is. However, I will not condemn trading so much that I advise everyone to stay away from it, because there are still people who are making money from trading despite how difficult it is.Based on experience traders, it is known that when someone gets the necessary knowledge about trading, making profits from it will not be so difficult, and such a person will also be less likely to lose money consistently. Most of the people who lose money in trading are those who are not patient enough to gain the proper knowledge of how to trade.Therefore, the people I would advise to stay away from trading are beginners who do not yet have the required knowledge and experience. They should instead focus on investing in Bitcoin until they have learned the skills needed for trading.

Trading is only risky, Yes that is true. It doesn't necessarily mean that once you go into it, you will lose all your money. Yes, long-term investment and holding Bitcoin is safer, but at the end of the day, nobody guarantees you anything.

If you are investing in Bitcoin, I think you can divide your portfolio, some for long-term investment and some for trading if you have the experience. Remember, the key word here is experience.

Also, note that for you to be good or better at trading, you need to be willing to incur losses at some point in time.

The fact that long term investment doesn't guarantee success at the end of the investment timeline, it doesn't mean that trading is the best option. Trading is more risky when compared to long term investment. So it is wrong to compare long term investment with trading. Anyone that is going into trading is gambling with bitcoin and the chances of them losing all there money is very high.

That's true, because their are still some people who are making cool cash from it even though it's pretty risky. Just as you said those with little or no patients to cope with are the people losing real cash due to their impatient in acquring enough knowledge before persisting and that's the true. It's better for someone that hasn't master it to keep learning with a demo account, try as much as you can to understand it all before you start putting in real money in it otherwise you are at your own risk.

Personally,I am not into trading not because of the risk attached but I never had the passion for trading.If you have the passion for trading then it’s fine if you venture into it but before you do that it would be encouraged if you acquire an in-depth knowledge about trading,trading is not a technical skill you learn overnight and start the actual trading the next day.Many experienced traders usually share their story on the duration they spent learning about trading before they became grounded,so it not a knowledge you acquire in a twinkle of an eye no matter how fast you learn things.Adults are meant to make decisions by themselves,so if you prefer trading over investing it’s fine.

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

No buddy, you don't have to be describing trading as if it's a death sentence. Is trading risky?  Yes, but if you are skilled in it, you wouldn't always be at the losing end, especially when you know how to manage your risk.
Beginners are the ones that are always dealt with when trading, but if the person is dedicated by learning it through the right channel, it wouldn't look like a death sentence as you are making it looks like.

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.

Fair point that skilled traders can manage the risk, but the reality is that the vast majority of retail traders lose money. For most people who can't watch the charts all day, a long term plan is just safer and less stressful. Patience is hard, but it usually pays off better than trying to time the market.
Trading isn't a death sentence if you actually treat it like a business and manage your downside, but most beginners jump in without a plan. At the same time, long term holding takes a completely different type of discipline that not everyone has, at the end you need to have plan and stick to it.

Every human have their risk tolerance level and as trading and investing in Bitcoin is concerned, it is also applicable.
So why some may be successful at trading, some are better off holding for long term but both practices involves an ample amount of patience, consistency and discipline to make the best out of it. One must do personal research to stay abreast with latest development and safety tips or be a victim of the system that is supposed to save them.
