Guys sorry for this question above but I would like to ask here that

What is the difference of Trading to Investing?

though I know that I can search it in google but I want an answer from those people who have already experienced this two.
Thank you.

I hope you can help me in my confusion..

In trading you have to involve yourself and you have to give more time on marketcap, you should be active as when to sell and when to buy. You have to wait in tradings while in investing it depends on ehat type of investment you planning. If its cloudmining, then strictly avoid it and dont do that. If investing in lending then you can have profits. Else buy and hold.

Trading mean Investing for very short term, generally for 1 day. Where as Investing refer as long term investment. Long term investment is made to grow your saving so that your life goals can be fulfilled easily, whereas Trading is like a day to day job, the main motive of trading is to earn profit that helps to fulfill day to day needs.

With trading you should have a lot of knowledge for other coins and know which one to invest where and how much it would give you profit and in investing you just have to watch the one you invest grow or go low.

Yes I agree with you here is big difference between these two from trade you can get a daily profit and from investment you have to wait but both of them are profitable and it will help you financially I like investment as compare to trade because from investment I can get all my profit at one time and which can help me in target to achieve.

You are correct but also we can assume in vise-versa. Trading does not have a steady income because the number of profits and losses in trading are constant and we can't predict the future for any coins. But if you are ready for investment than you can have a steady income.

You can just invest a good amount of bitcoins in a good investment scheme like the investment box on yobit on a daily interest basis and you can have some good daily profit there and also the income will be steady there.

i think when you invest in something, you're looking to grow your money. Some people invest for a long time and some people invest for a short time. A person who owns an annuity, for instance, is investing for a longer time horizon than someone who enjoys trading stocks and moves around their money quite frequently. Shocked

"Trading" Term is basically meant for stock market which means buying and selling of shares in 1 working day, which lead to low commission and require the least investment with high trading exposure. But In BTC, transaction fee is same throughout the period. So in BTC market, trading can be defined as one complete cycle of buying and selling of BTC whereas Investment means half clycle. Eg buying 1 BTC means, you invested in BTC and when you sell those BTC it will be called trading.

But there is also the concept of investment as a passive income. This is when you invested your money in an enterprise or project, and after a while it will bring a passive permanent income. Such an investment is not connected with trade at all, of course, if this project is not related to trade.

In my opinion, trading and investing have differences. Trading can be an act of selling and buying in exchange of products or services, while investing is spending and keeping aside for future use while it is still earning for profits or some part loss.

In my own perception, the difference of trading and investing is that in Trading they used to buy alt coin in the matter of short span of time they generate income because crytocurrency fluctuates time after time may be a day or an hour. While investing its like an asset where you wait for a couple of years to earn a good profit.

Investing is supporting anything with your fiat or any currency. Whilr trading is just for earnings. Your goal is just to to achieve. The two have threat, if yoi knowcwhat you are doing danger will be reduce.

Trading is more like a gambling since you just have to look for a better opportunity to get in and get out with a profit.
You observed the market and you will be active in looking for the news that would move the price, you should be smart always to be profitable
but sometimes we cannot avoid losses so consider it as a long term activity.

Investment can be interpreted as an activity to invest capital. Thus, any economic activity that requires capital is considered an investment. Investment is passive. That is, you as an investor does not run the business directly to gain profit because there are already other parties who manage the money. And you just stay enjoy the benefits (did not rule out the possibility of loss).

Trading is the opposite of investment, trading is more active. As an investor, you are a business actor who must work alone to get a profit target in a certain period. Profit and loss as a result of the capital you cultivate depends on your own as a trader. If successful manage it, you will get a profit. Instead, you will lose large amounts of money if managing it is not good.

To consider it as Trading, there should be Buying and Selling involved. If its Buy, hodl for a long time, Sell after a few years, I think that would be considered as Investing. You can't say that you are into trading if you just keep on Buying, Buying and Buying. You Buy a 2nd hand car at Low price, dress it up a little then Sell later, that's trading. Buy a 1 Acre of land at $10,000 USD, keep it for 5 - 10 years.

Yes a lot of the people are using the bitcoin trading now because they are afraid of the loss. The importance of the bitcoin is the part of the life, not only me but all of the people are getting into the bitcoin. The price of the bitcoin is now more than this, I like the bitcoin investment because it is the profit I like because the worth of the bitcoin is now increasing because of the investing.

In very simple terms:

Trading: Short term

Investing: Long term

Explanation: Trading is usually divided in categories, for example, you have day traders, swing traders etc. a common characteristic shared by those traders is that their outlook is usually short term, that means, they rely on technical indicators to give them glues on whether to sell or buy, and these technical indicators can span from years/months to mins/secs. In most cases, these kind of traders are buying/selling on a daily basis, trying to catch this kind of swings and make a short term profit.
Investors from the other hand, are usually researches, in some sense, as in they research a specific company, project or idea and then invest their capital into it, expecting it will increase in value in the long term. Traditionally, investors can be traders and vise versa, but to make this more comprehensible, investors are usually focused on the long-term, the profit they'll make after the company will launch the product and the potential growth that this market can offer.

Investing is putting your money into something like businesses or properties or other financial strategies expecting to achieve a profit which will be divided upon you and other investors. Critical thing here is for you to choose wisely and strategically into what businesses you are going to put your money into. Trading on the other hand is buying shares on the market when the price is low and selling part or all of the shares when the price is high. Trading is more dependent on your personal skills, your analysis on the market trend and risk-taking confidence.

There are major differences between investing and trading like investing money and trading on stock exchanges, to buy bitcoin from exchanges and wallet can be simple all you need is a secure hardware wallet to store your bitcoins. Trading bitcoins is for a short period of time for a maximum of five to six months and wait till the prices reaches a peak to earn profits investing on the other hand is for long term on a portfolio of various other cryptocurrencies. Mojority of traders loose hope after the market crash and bitcoin exchanges work 24 hours a day. You need to have enough skills on trading to get profit on trading as bitcoin is highly volatile. If you are expertise in trading then this method can help to achieve more profits through this technology. Investing is not risky compared to trading as it is due to inexperience in trading, if you observe the history of bitcoins you will understand that long term investment will definitely help to get good profits as price of bitcoin have surpassed $5000.

You are party right but both trading and investing involves buying and selling your assets that is how you make profit out of it. But to differentiate the two here is the simple way on distinguishing both of them.
Trading

Holding of the asset for as long as 1 year only
Relies heavily on Technical Analysis which you view their price charts
Does not necessarily look at the performance of the company/ or physical condition of the asset

Investing

Holding the asset takes more than a year
Relies heavily on Fundamental Analysis
Looking at its performance is a factor in your buying and selling decisions

i think investing also needs foresight and knowledge right? you need the cleverness in analyzing which companies or businesses are suitable and worthed to invest, investing not just about capital you have and without any knowledge because it would result in losses due to a scam or something, I also like investing because I do not have to work hard to get income, investment that works for me

Trading and Investing are quite different from each other. Investing is gradual gain of wealth through buying and holding stocks, mutual funds, etc for a long time. Trading however is buying and selling of stock more frequent. Investment is long term while trading is ongoing process as per the availability of funds.
