Trading is difficult, for every person making a profit, there is someone making a loss. I suggest you take a tiny pot of money (say $100) and trade with it for at least 3 months. You will learn a lot without the risks. You will very probably have less than what you started with.

I think trading is the best rather investing . You can lost all of your money by investing but i am pretty sure that you will never lost all of your money in trading . You can profit a lot of in long term trading . So for me trading is the best

my advise is to see what you can afford to loose en take your time to read some more about different coins and try to keep m ( offline ) for the real long run , you can better have them

also good to take part in airdrops and keep m all

trading can be a way to earn some in a short time and my experience is that it is not easy to that , it is all about emotions , difficult to buy when they are cheap ( better buy a expensive , so , good one ) and also difficult to sell when youreached , lets say 20 times your  investment (it could go higher )

trading is just not my thing

You have to take teh best of the two worlds.
Try keeping some for long term investments , and do some trading with kind of 2% risk/reward or alike. you will get decent money if you succeed.

As a newbie, it's okay to try trading for you to learn from your experience. But as an advice, you should make sure to be ready for losses. And to minimize loss, diversify the coins you buy. And to buy altcoins at a lesser price, buy coins during ICO or after bounty distribution or after months of being release since most buyers will dump their coins which make the price of coin low.

Hi everyone...

Just a newbie and am planning to put some money into crypto. Now the thing which is stopping me is whether I should go for trading as the currency is volatile and can give some quick gains or buy it and sleep over it for a few years. Or should I go with 50% trading and 50% investing.

Need experts guidance please

both good to earning profit. so try first in investement because in investing no need any knowledge and experience so nothing to worry about this. next trading, trading is very important and we have to handle carefully. because trading need more knowledge and experience so you have to investing and doing trading need money  and experience.


It's easy! You're investing, exchanging, trading to get rich. With the incredible value of money you can do it, it's enough to meet honest people who will be able to come to a compromise. Regards.

Investing is the way to go for me. Trading requires a lot of knowledge about the market and really takes being a full time gig to really be successful at it. Bitcoin will also continue to become more and more valuable so I'd rather hold long term.  Grin

If you want to trade do not over trade you can trade 1-2 times a day. Profit not form number of trade. You lost 1% to change for a coin to another.
It depends on his knowledge and experience, as he can do more exchanges and make a profit that is much larger than quantitative limitation.

Very similar. Investment is simply trading but holding for a longer time.

Thanks to trading we are able to get richer. The price of BTC is growing and in my opinion trading in coins is a very good solution. You just have to find an honest trader, a trusted man who will not fool us.

For a newbie, going directly into trading can be highly risky. You need to have proper understanding and knowledge of various aspects before investing your money in trading, so if you really got some money to invest in crypto then the first move is investing money in Bitcoin. Simply because Bitcoin tops the list of crypto currencies moreover it will surely give you better returns over the time, also the risk factor is very less as compared to another coins. Meanwhile, your money is invested in Bitcoin you should study about various altcoin their road maps, ICO productivity, graphs and other important factors and then come back with proper knowledge to invest money in crypto.

Either way, you need to have a knowledge base for both. And if you are ready to learn more, then you will find out your way for some time later Smiley Just don`t hurry while learning.

You should practice with a portion of funds to see where your talents lie. Some people are great at investing and terribad at day trading, some people the opposite and everyone somewhere along the gradient in between. Good luck

Both have their own side.
you can invest you bitcoins in some altcoin or some casino or dice site. It will surely give you profit as casino always wins in the end. But it can take time and profit making process can be slow and in some cases really slow.

While on other hand trading can be really fun and profit making sometimes. You can win upto 400% or more per trade. Trading is really a game changer sometimes.

When you trade BTC you're indirectly investing in BTC, but investing can be in many form.

It's always better to understand in what you're spending on. Money isn't the only one, you're burning time which also burn your opportunity cost.

A. Feel

You could try some airdrops given for free, there's plenty of it - enough to get a feel how wallet, storing and distribution works.

Or you could decide to spare $100 and play around with it. It has to be a value you did not mind LOSING.

B. Learn

You could search for 'blockchain' and 'cryptocurrency' to learn at first.

Then find your preferred coin again, to study how it actually works.


When you take either A or B is satisfying, you may proceed to trade (assuming you understand trading) or the simplest investment; buy&hold.

I think it would depend on where you are good at. For me trading is quite risky so i would just work in the marketplace section and i will invest my time there to get some bitcoins.

If you are busy person then I suggest don't do trading because it  will require a lot of monitoring on the prices which means you need to allot many hours and it won't work if you have a regular job but if you have much free time then enter trading.
