Which one is better if I want to invest and trade bitcoins.

If you plan to invest and trade in Bitcoins, it is important to consider your own goals and risk tolerance. Investing is long-term and has a lower risk tendency, while trading is short-term and involves higher risk. Both approaches can be profitable if the right strategy is followed. It might make sense to start with a mix of both and adjust your strategy over time.

But the greater the risk, the higher the chance of receiving profit, so trading also has outstanding advantages compared to investing. But trading is extremely difficult and not too many people can make money from trading so most people will choose long-term investing rather than trading.

Yeah actually you are very correct because irrespective of how we feel trading is very profitable we should also consider the factor that could make it work which is knowledge, because unlike investment, knowledge is what defines every good traders because the need to understand the fundamental and technical analysis of the market is very important.

So just like you said one of the factors that should be consider is the risk involved on trading because in as much as there is a very high chance of making money from trading there is also a high chance of blowing your trading account.

Perhaps that's why is always advice able for beginners who doesn't have much knowledge about trading to consider learning and being knowledgeable enough before venturing into trading because trading is so complex that no matter how experienced you are on trading the possibility of losing trade sometimes is certain.

However for me I prefer investment instead if trading because I have no much knowledge about it, so with investment you are free from emotional panic we feel seeing our trading going against our direction so the best way to have a rest of mind is investment.

The answer depends on your preference, each provides commensurate returns. We know that trading requires more complex strategies and takes more time. If you want to get started, some things you need to prepare include:

- Trading: technical and fundamental analysis, mental/psychological training.
- Investments: How to secure assets and maintain privacy.

Both have benefits, but I believe investing in bitcoin is a better option for me than trading it. Trading is also beneficial, but it requires more knowledge before you can engage in it. Since I don't know much about trading, even though I've seen many others try, I've concluded that it's not something I should do. While both trading and investing in bitcoin carry some risk, I believe that trading carries a greater risk than investing. While investing in bitcoin can provide you with peace of mind and allow you to know exactly how much bitcoin you own, trading is extremely dangerous and can result in losses at any time.

I'm not saying this to discourage people from trading bitcoin; rather, I'm saying it based on my observations and the experiences of many new members of this forum. I was surprised to see a new member ask how to learn how to trade bitcoin in the forum, as I assumed that before asking so many questions about it, a newbie would know better than to ask such a question. In any case, trading bitcoin is not inherently bad, but it's not a good idea for a new member to do so.

But the greater the risk, the higher the chance of receiving profit, so trading also has outstanding advantages compared to investing. But trading is extremely difficult and not too many people can make money from trading so most people will choose long-term investing rather than trading. But that doesn't mean we're saying that trading is meaningless as some people say. For me, trading and investing are both profitable methods and it will depend on each person's choice. We should not criticize trading because we are investors and vice versa, we should respect each other.

There is no doubt that both investing and trading in bitcoin have their own risks and benefits. A common point of view is that trading is riskier and needs more elaborate knowledge. Investing, on the other hand, is seen as a safer, if slower, way to get rich. Yes, investing, accumulating, investing. Your point about the higher risks of trading and the need to be careful is very smart.

I'd like to press you on one more point, though: I find it strange that new members ask for trading tips. Shouldnt forums be welcoming spaces for questions and learning? Assuming that a newcomer should naturally know more goes against the whole point of sharing information with others. The world of crypto is complicated and big, so no question should be seen as too early or not necessary.

OP, you have already said that both are profitable; yeah, they are, but trading puts you at risk of losing your money if the market goes against your direction, while investing always keeps your money intact while you wait for the bull market to set in. There's one thing that can enable you to engage in trading and investing at once, and that is your financial state (your financial capabilities). If you have so much money to play around with in the market for some short-term profit, you can ingage in trading while also investing some funds in Bitcoin that are held in your cold storage. There are some traders who trade and make profit, but they usually do experience losses too because it's one characteristic of trading, but holders don't lose unless they sell cheap. The difference is clear.

I do both, because investing is an excellent option to make a better investment, it is better than investing in real estate, or any business, but based on what I can do, I always put money in to see if I can trade. , but a very long-term trade, I buy 3mBTC today and I hope it goes up a lot so that I can transfer it to USD, only if it goes up, otherwise I'll leave it there until it goes up, but it's not my thing, and that's like an investment , because trading for me is doing it in the short term, in 1 mnutps in 5 mintuops that for me is trading, the rest is a long-term investment, those who know how to do tading are something else.

The fact is that there is only one truly correct way to increase your capital in Bitcoin and dollars. I came to this method after more than many years of trading, and now I will share it with you. You need to invest half of your funds in Bitcoin and half in USDT. And when Bitcoin falls to a local minimum, you need to buy it by giving it to USDT. And vice versa - if the rate has increased, then you need to sell some of the bitcoins, and the higher the price, the more you need to sell. But when the price comes back, you need to try to reduce the deposit to 50 percent BTS and 50 percent USDT. And so, maneuvering between values, you will accumulate both a share in BTC and a share in dollars.

noorman0 is right.

These are the skills you need for each. Investing and holding is easier, and you should find success over a 4+ year timeframe. Trading is a lot more difficult. Not only will you need the skills mentioned, but additionally you need experience. No matter how much information you take in from books, guides, videos etc. about trading, you will need experience before you can grow that skill. Experience generally means losing, as well as winning. It's a risky endeavour but it can be lucrative if you are disciplined.

If you have the skills and knowledge then go with trading, but if you just want to secure your money and have a low risk then go with investment or go for a long term.
For me it all depends on your knowledge and skills, you can't just go and jump into trading if you don't have knowledge on it, you would just risk your money.

If you trade short term, you must have the ability to read market movements or this is usually done by traders by taking smaller but more frequent profits.

Sure. The goal why most people do day trade is for gaining profits constantly although it is not a big profit. That's true, traders must have the ability to understand the market situation and can take the advantage in each market situation. Traders must master both technical and fundamental skills. If they have no these abilities, it is difficult to understand the market situation.

Quote from: Gaza13 on October 30, 2023, 02:27:55 AM

Personally I prefer long term investments because there are many factors that must be considered

What factors do you mean?
Generally, people prefer to choose a long term holding because they don't want to feel confused about the price volatility. The price can change significantly in a short time, people must always check the market situation. But if people hold Bitcoin for a long term target, they only need to wait for the time for selling. Commonly, people will wait for 4 years, it is because the bullrun season will return every 4 years.

Buying bitcoin and keeping it to get profit and trading bitcoin to get profits are both exclusive and need careful attention.

To hold, you need to,understand when to buy and when you successfully buy, you also need a good wallet to keep it, don't keep a single dollar worth of your bitcoin on the exchange because we have heard stories of how exchange run off with customers money and also seize their funds. After moving everything to your wallet, the next thing you need is patient, this part is very necessary because when you hold, you will see how the price fluctuate and if you have weak mind, you will chicken out and sell everything at loss.

To be a trader, you need to first gain th knowledge of trading, even if you don't go far, you need the basic intellect of trading and then you can start trading but don't use your money, test it first with a demo account to see how you have mastered training. You can continue to do that until you master everything and become a legend in trading.

Quote from: panganib999 on October 26, 2023, 05:40:00 PM

If you're a beginner in the crypto industry, I suggest investing before trying to do trading, it's safer and much easier than the latter, start trading after gathering enough info about it. Don't rush in blindly.

Yes, your opinion makes some sense that bitcoin investment is a better suggestion between bitcoin trading or bitcoin investment for a newbie. Because, as a newbie, these people do not have as much exposure as required. And obviously, if seen in reality, trading requires more effort and knowledge than Bitcoin investment. It means you have to monitor everything, including technical analysis and fundamental analysis, as well as choosing the destination for trading; that's the exchange I chose to pick up and whether it's safe or not in terms of privacy and security. While you don't have to put much more effort into everything for a Bitcoin investment, you can get a good result just by taking a few steps. Because there is no doubt that the long-term sentiment of Bitcoin is bullish and that it is rising in price with the passage of time.

And in the end, I would like to add one thing: I am of the opinion that we should not emphasize one of these two (bitcoin trading or investment). Everyone has their own opinions, and as much knowledge as they have, in this part, they pick and choose which is better for me: investment or trading.

In my opinion, investing in Bitcoin is much safer than trading which sometimes takes more time because you have to regularly learn about the market, whereas investing in Bitcoin has definitely been profitable for investors so far, for example, if you bought Bitcoin five years ago you are still in a profitable position right now, if you buy it today then in a few years it will still give you a profit, but it all depends on your individual preferences. If you like trading because of the big challenges and risks which will also give you big profits then investing will seem boring because you only need to buy then store it well for a certain target time and sell it at the expected profit, and what's better is what you like, not based on what other people like.

Many people say holding is simple but I believe it will only be simple when we compare it with trading, it is not simple at all. Holding an asset for 3 to 4 years is not simple if we do not have enough faith and perseverance. Buying is something anyone can do, but holding for the long term is something not many people can do, which is why so many people sell during bear markets. And those people mostly don't have enough faith and patience.

There are several reasons why some people sell when market conditions are bearish, maybe they are afraid of a continued decline or maybe the need is urgent so there is no other way but to sell the assets they own.
Therefore, when investing, there are many things that must be paid attention to, including the money used for investment, which cannot be done haphazardly, besides knowledge about what we are investing in, it is also very important.

I don't think that hoding is an easy thing, and I think that holding and trading are the same, only carried out in different ways and with different risks and in my opinion there is no better or vice versa because it all comes back to the knowledge that we apply in carrying it out, the possibilities and risks are quite comparable between the two.

Both holding and trading involve buying and owning an asset but the key difference lies in the duration of ownership. If you are new to Bitcoin, it is advisable to consider holding it for a longer period of time as opposed to engaging in short-term trading. This means you should purchase Bitcoin at a good entry price and hold on to it for some time. This strategy is better than short-term trading even experienced traders sometimes fail to profit due to the high volatility of Bitcoin prices.

The both strategies has high profit potential provided they’re done at the right time.

There is nothing like a right time or perfect timing when it comes to trading Bitcoin. Nobody knows what the price will do tomorrow, next week, next month or next month. Traders make use of speculated/predicted prices to trade Bitcoin and that is why most of them make huge loses while trading. Bitcoin is very volatile and trading Bitcoin is gambling. It is not advisable to trade Bitcoin instead of Investing in it.

When you have good knowledge and understand how Bitcoin works you will very relaxed holding it for a few long or a few years, and you have no point looking at the price of everyday because by then you have high trust in the revolutionary features of Bitcoin and the potential of its price in the future. The reason why people go into trading or sell their Bitcoin for worthless fiat when ever it increase x amount or fear and sell it when it goes down is because they lack the knowledge and understanding of Bitcoin.

There have been many threads discussing this and many people also point out that bitcoin trading is not gambling. It seems like you can't make money from trading and people around you have also failed in trading so you have a pretty negative view of it. I am also making money from trading although the profits are not too big and not regular because I only use a small amount of capital and the traders I know even consider it their main income. So it can be said that trading has a lot of risks, but there are still people who know how to take advantage of it and make money from it, not everyone loses money when trading bitcoin. Bitcoin trading is not gambling.

Every investment has different risks, If you trade short term, you must have the ability to read market movements or this is usually done by traders by taking smaller but more frequent profits. Even reliable traders can experience losses,

Personally I prefer long term investments because there are many factors that must be considered, if I choose short term, in the morning I have to work as a private employee, and after coming home my energy is quite drained in the morning, I am more Choose buy then hold until the target price is reached then sell. This investment carries much less risk

Investing is always more profitable. This has worked even in case of mutual funds. Many people try to do trading because they think they will make more that way but after few days they will realize that overall this is loss. Same applies to Bitcoin trade and invest. Those who are trading will think that they can make a lot of money because of frequent movements. But the long term investors make more money.
