Trading will have to be considered as a business as well. It is to consider because trading includes money, we earned, we lose, it all be the same approach with real stock business.
https://tradingeducators.com/books/trading-is-a-business if we have to read this, we can say that trading is another form of business which a lot of people are engaging in this certain thing. But what I can see is that trading is the riskier thing that we tried to engage for and many have suffered losses than of being profitable.

I can consider that as your business because you are earning money but make sure that you don’t need much money for your daily needs because trading can’t give you fix profit everyday. If you gain a lot of money from trading, treat it as your business and make a good decision for you to stay on that business.

Is trading crypto on your own with no employees and no storefront categorized as a real business?

If you profit $300 per year from this stuff, is that considered a business?

How about profiting $3,000 per year?

Or profiting $30,000 per year?

Where does trading online take on all of the aspects of being a legitimate and identifiable business?
Nope it cant be considered as a business but somehow on other countries it is subjected to extract out some taxes.
I do rather see this as a job than to be a business. Earnings cant be determined yet we know on how profitability works on this area.
I agree that someone said above that other people could treat this one as a business and get serious with it yet we've been generating money
for sustaining up our needs.

For tax purposes? The IRS does not consider trading to be a business activity. Trading income is unearned income, not business income subject to self-employment taxes.

There can be tax benefits to treating it like a business though. They are listed in the article I linked. The primary ones being

  • You can deduct business expenses (like computer, trading software/subscriptions, internet access)
  • In losing years, you can deduct more than $3,000 per year in net capital losses

For someone who does it as a livelihood, I will say yes, it is a business and you have to be serious with it.

No.
We could say they have both the same kind of profit which is unsure or there is no accurate number.
But the difference is there is more risk with doing crypto currency trading.
There is a way to make a business boom again specially now with so much social media thing.
But not with trading. You lose, you try to get back tomorrow and there is no assurance you will gain it back.

With business your item is intact. You just need the push. You never really lost anything.

All businesses involve risk. The businesses you think the profit is predetermined, stable or calculated, the proprietor has undergone training to be able to study and understand the market landscape, so also should trading be taken serious in learning the rudiments too

no, it should belong to personal transactions. Like normal traders, they also trade coins and make lots of money from it, but they only pay personal income tax. You do not need to pay additional corporate tax.
