Yes trading is very risky and has a higher chance of one loosing more money compared to long term and there are some very experienced traders that has been trading and it has been working for them even if they lose money most times.
I don’t even encourage newbies to go into trading because it is much easier for people with experience, who understands the market very well and also with their experience they trade which strategies but as an investor, long term is always the best.
Long terms helps you stay determined to achieve your goal, build wealth overtime with higher returns and also help avoid or reduce the impact of short term volatility.
Of course, trading is much riskier than investing with a long-term plan. There is risk through investing but it is much less than trading, by consistently managing investments with a long-term plan, a person can gradually increase his knowledge and can buy a large amount of Bitcoin little by little, but the risk of losing money through trading is much higher. One wrong decision can lead to a loss of all the money, so I think by consistently managing long-term investments with discipline and holding them for a long time with confidence, inflation can be avoided and long-term profits can be expected from Bitcoin.

Trading is risky but that doesn't mean that long term investment doesn't have it's own risks as well. Just because trading doesn't work for you or you had bad experiences with it doesn't mean that people are not making profits from, it is all about preference. There are people that actually prefer to trade more than getting involved in long term investments, it is all about doing what works for you and also what you are interested in. Although it is actually a fact that trading has a lot of risks but you must understand that everyone cannot get involved in the same thing.

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.
Exactly, most beginners are attracted by success stories but they fail to realize that training requires experience and I also agree that is the economic hardship is what make many of them to chase quick profit through training without understanding the risk involved,

My opinion, is that investor should plan long term investing that is the best approach, that gives them a chance of accumulating bitcoin in gradually process by using discretionary income without any form of stress, because any investor who enter bitcoin with mindset of quick profit, it may hard to them to invest in long term investment.

On most occasions, it's who introduced you to Bitcoin investment that have a major influence on the decision making of a newbie, because if he or she is properly oriented, he will be aware from the start that the only credible way to make something significant from his Bitcoin investment is only by going long term, because most of these newbies believes that Bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme, but once they discover that it's not what they initially thought, that's when they deviate into trading without thinking that they might get themselves burnt in the process of trading.

Trading and investing should not be kept at the same level. It is better to keep a long time mindset, especially when investing in Bitcoin. So far, those who have held for a long time have made profits, but many who have traded for a short time have suffered losses. Market timing is never right. Because trading on unpredictable digital assets is much more risky. When it comes to better practices for beginners, it is not right to push them in a trading mindset. First, they should be know how to accumulate discretionary income regularly, how to have an emergency fund, and how to survive market volatility without becoming a forced seller. This is where the real power of long-term Bitcoin investor .

They came into it already with the mindset that it would make them rich quickly that's why they end up choosing trading over long term investment but still they're newbies they don't understand the risk management involved in both else they would've know that trading is more risky and requires some core knowledge of cryptocurrency else they'll be burnt financially. Bitcoin has given a historical prove that holding it longer is the best option but lack of understanding is the problem of some people while the ones who give it a trial lack the convinction and panic along the line.

there is no one wey no get risk op, if u talk about trading e get risk, which is what is making some people not to involve in bitcoin trading, or are u talking about bitcoin investment? there is a risk involved but make your choice wisely because that is what will bring out income that will make u no long term investment is More profitable than bitcoin trading, u can see d reason is not difficult for some people to change to bitcoin investment because dey are finding it difficult to earn reasonable income from bitcoin trading.

Achieving anything does not actually comes easy, I have few post I made explaining how difficult it has been with the whole ugly experience of lost, trading on digital assets is not a gimmicks or game lots that you go with the mindset of gambling the system, trading is practical knowledge that's ever remained demanding if you must succeed in achieving the success. Many people have lost capital and still put more efforts yet is not a guarantee to make it. Long run investment is good but to only those who are using spare capital to invest, yes I agree with you is on a better of preparing a good future for generations yet to come but either way experience of any life is what makes life better.

Long term investing is actually the better approach when it comes to Bitcoin and should not even be compared with trading because they are two completely different thing and mindsets..

Trading Bitcoin comes with much higher risk..  Most people, especially beginners end up losing money because they try to be smart timing every move in the market, and that is not something beginners and people should be focused on self.. Building a position over time, holding through, and thinking in years instead of weeks has been the better approach for most investors..
For anyone just getting started, I would always recommend learning how to save consistently, invest only what they can afford to leave untouched, and let time do it's thing rather than chasing short term gains..

I'll always choose long-term investment over a short volatility and more risky investment, even for bitcoin it's best to stick to long-term holding over short term trading, in fact long term has several proofs of profitability but where are the short term traders with good portfolios, you definitely cannot find a hand full of good bitcoin traders with profitable trading experience, majority of the profitable ones are only oppotuned to bear that name because of luck. One of the major problem with short term trading is that you can never tell when the price is it's peak or its depth.

If you choose to trade then it is your choice because there is absolutely nothing wrong in doing that's if you know what you're doing. A lot of traders especially beginners are quick to call trading a scam when they don't even know much about it, they start trading without proper knowledge and expecting to make profit but it doesn't really work that way. If you cannot dedicate a specific period of time to learning how to trade then it is better to stick with investments because in this case you are not going to spend much time learning about it
