Since you are talking RIGHT NOW, then I would say that both trading and investing are worth it and profitable. Why? If you are an impatient person, buying known coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum will certainly give you profit even just in a few days believing that the price is continuously growing this time, unlike during bear season and even in trading.

But of course, you must think and asses your capabilities first which field you are fit for. Don't try trading if you are not totally ready and equipped with knowledge and skills, or even learn trading tools because even if the current market condition is good this never guarantees positive results. In this case, it is better to choose investing first before jumping to trading.

I think the answer is both so I can explain how. You should trade into altcoins because the market is very volatile Nowadays so you can get some good profits. But it requires a very good skill set otherwise you'll lose assets.

You should invest only in well established projects like BTC, ETH and SOL etc. They will give you some good profits for long term holdings. Otherwise investing in low cap coins or heavy volatile coins in this sort of phase can be profitable but it's very risky. Yes you can have some risks and gain profits if you can afford to.
I think trading can be done at any times but not investing and for those who are impatient in investing, this time is perfect to jump in and experience a profit at a short period of time because we are now preparing for a massive bull run. The high volatility that we experience nowadays is I think only good for the short term because the true movement that they will make later on is only to increase.

You said trading requires a good skill, so we may not get in time if we will still learn it now. It may be okay now to invest in a little risky coin because after the bull run, we can just drop them immediately and our focus should be on the established cryptos again.

As far as I understand trading often involves a high level of risk as traders are exposed to short-term market volatility. Risk management is very important, and traders can use leverage to increase returns which increases risk. I like investing if you want overall growth with big returns over an extended period of time usually through buying and holding you should invest. The best returns can be obtained by holding long-term investments in bitcoin.

I agree with you but you should also know that holding only BTC won't give you the significant profit you need. You can also consider holding some cex token, seen they did pretty as of last month like BGB and then some other Alts like DOT, NEAR and some memes as well
Your suggestion to consider several altcoins as you mentioned is not wrong because considering the current moment which is quite good due to the bullish market trend. But I really don't agree if you don't suggest paying attention to Bitcoin, where today the price is almost the same as the previous ATH price and there is a possibility of making a new ATH again this month. Because I think all altcoins will not easily increase if market conditions and Bitcoin are still so bad and do not increase significantly like now and you can also imagine how many people are so profitable after buying Bitcoin at the beginning of last year and still holding it until now.
I agree that bitcoin is far better than other alts, doesn't mean that I mean it in a way that we shouldn't look at alts, of course we should care about the alts as well, but that doesn't mean that we should not look at bitcoin, in fact we should look at bitcoin more than anything else. I believe that it will definitely be something that will take some time. I hope that we can't really make it work in any other way, I feel like we should be considering the situation to be changing at all times.

I understand that we can't really make it work any other way, and there are some problems here and there, but that's just the way it is currently. We should consider life to be not that easy to handle, and sometimes it gets to a point where it is not that easy and we have to endure.

If you know how to trade then I definitely think trading is a good option but if you are bad in trading and doesn't have enough technical skills to make profit through trading, then investing is a good option. What I actually did personally is I saved some Bitcoin as investment but some portion of my money is I trade it daily and in that way I have already an investment and trying to make profit to trading, but as of now the market is trying to break the ATH and unsuccessful so it's better to hold your money and liquidate it to USDT then buy later on once break or crash.

Investing. I actually went trading the first time I got into crypto. Needless to say, it was a pain in the ass, kept panicking about price drops of 1%-5%, kept missing short opportunities and just kept losing profit overall. Swapped to DCA'ing and just let it be till this day. It's so  comfortable.

I reckon I can do some short trading now compared to before since I was completely ignorant, but I'd still prefer investing instead since it just removes so much stress from me.
By choosing to invest, it will certainly make it easier for us to carry it out because what we need is the right time to collect and hold until the target we set is achieved, then we will be able to get benefits from holding and using the DCA method in investing will certainly make it easy for us to do it. we only need to buy it according to the schedule we have set, trading will of course make us have to continue to pay attention to market conditions to be able to gain profits from trading and this will make us more tired in carrying out because the slightest mistake we make will result in loss. the money we use for trading.

I'm also trading some coins besides investing in them. I think it is easier to trade in thin bullish season. The price movement of most crypto coins tend to increase, it is easy to guess that they are increasing gradually. It is different than the bearish season, the price of crypto coins are very difficult to guess. It is because of the lack of the demand in bearish season.
It's easier to trade this season because everyone seems to be moving up. I guess the ones that are benefiting here are the futures traders but don't get it wrong as when the quick dump has happened, a billion has been liquidated in the market once again. That's why if you choose to be a chill investor, you don't have to get into such trades but your only trade is when you buy and when you want to sell because you've already made a profit. But if you're going to do this often, you're likely to lose more.

Holding, most of the time.

Especially when the surge is almost everywhere, you just have to pick what you have to pick on this market and you need to sit and tighten your belt before the market leaves you.

I don't want to take chances in trading, if I want to add some of my balances because I have to take time checking it from time to time. I'll just use my money and simply gonna buy that in addition to my portfolio.
Actually one can do both trading and hodling as long as he’s good enough to succeed from his trades. If there are bigger probability to be in profits, then why not? But don’t forget to continue DCA as well as you are not just preparing your portfolio with this upcoming bull run but definitely in the next year bull run as well. So trade if you know there are reasons to trade, but never stop from accumulating more bitcoin because that’s the surest and safest way to gain decent profits in the market. If your trades do not work as planned, at least you still have good amount of hodlings that will give sufficient amount of profits when you decide to sell them at a higher position.

Message @Hhampuz if you are looking for a CM!
I want to know what guys do. Are some of you trading the market regardless or some of you are like me, investing and observing the market
Trading has those who are into it daily, and those that invest for a short time. I see all of them as traders, because the risk of running at loss is very high. My bitcoin is very precious to me, and I work hard to buy them, so I am just hodling and investing using regular DCA to increase my bitcoin portfolio because I have a bitcoin target which I am focus on achieving.

I don't trade, because trading is a distraction to holders, and people that cannot be patient with their bitcoin hodling are the one that do think that trading is the best way of making profit. Whereas, it is the fastest means to lose your bitcoin. I don't have the skill to trade, and trading very complex to learn all of it in a short period of time. The bullrun is drawing nearer, and hodli is the best anyone can think of now, because you will be more profitable when bitcoin hits a 100k
Its okay to trade if you are capable to make it work, but if you are only trading for quick profits without even learning its basics, I suggest focus more on investing. Right now, I see there are bigger opportunities waiting ahead of you never stop buying and hodling, simply because bitcoin halving and bitcoin bull run are just around the corner. We might be seeing new all time high soon so DCA would be the best thing for now.

However, while you are trying to accumulate more coins, learn to study trading as well. Because admit it or not, soon we will be force to trade as well so we can experience the profits from our investment. We won’t be buying and hodling forever, trading is also vital so as much as possible learn to trade early and learn from the experience of early traders in the market.

So now, what do y'all do? As for me, I just invested in some coins I believe that will surge in few months while I observe what the market is doing.

Everyone is investing in some good coins, no doubt it will skyrocket. We can see the prices of crypto coins already increased significantly in the last few weeks. But today, it seems decreasing, it is a correction after a long pump. This will last few days before the prices will increase again. If you focus on investing, it is a good time to add crypto coins on your wallets.

I'm also trading some coins besides investing in them. I think it is easier to trade in thin bullish season. The price movement of most crypto coins tend to increase, it is easy to guess that they are increasing gradually. It is different than the bearish season, the price of crypto coins are very difficult to guess. It is because of the lack of the demand in bearish season.

For me, I’ll say investing and hodling too. Although trading this time would still make you profitable, but if you want to maximize your returns, don’t just trade but accumulating more bitcoin through DCA will give you the biggest opportunity to be massively profitable when bull run comes. Invest while the price has not reached its peak yet, because once an all time high will be achieved, it would be the perfect time to sell already, not the best time to invest.
It's still profitable to trade but if you compare the efforts that you commit with trading and holding, it's obviously more profitable and effortless with investing and holding.

Holding, most of the time.

the best option is to hold back. However, holding is almost the same as investing. Meanwhile, trading can be said to be about seeking profits in a short period of time.
Personally, I also tend to hold rather than trade whenever I make a profit. I prefer to target profits in the long term. It's just that holding or investing will only be better if we choose popular coins, especially bitcoin or popular altcoins.
Holding is actually investing.

On these times when the market is on a bull run, every trader is profitable I guess and whatever the season is they make money. While for investors, we're all seasonal and we prepare for these bull runs during the bear markets. That's the difference that we do, we save for the rainy days.

I'm not saying anyone should ignore BTC. In fact BTC should be among the top coins we should have. But we should also say that if we are looking for making quick profit BTC wouldn't give us that. That's the reason I shared how anyone can make good profit with good projects and meme coins without fear

If you invest, your losses will be less and your chances will be less. You will still have some of your capital or your original token.  Like gaming, this is actually the case in our society.  It has come to Hemant that they earn two rupees by trading for some time and think they are big traders but actually they themselves could not be successful because they lost a lot in the beginning.  In fact, we should know or understand the training or investment in the case of coming at a time and then being able to fit.  Because if you invest in a good project because you think a good project has come, let's talk about bitcoin, if you buy bitcoin or keep it with bitcoin, you will have it in the future.  You have 99% chance of profit if you sell at high price but 80% chance of loss if you train the training words.

Yeah. Putting your money in well-known projects like Bitcoin for the long haul is generally safer than constantly trading. Established assets like Bitcoin have a track record of growing over time, offering a better chance of making money if you hold onto them but trying to play the market with frequent trades is riskier. It requires a good understanding of market trends and comes with the unpredictability of short-term price changes. Going for a chill, long-term investment approach in solid projects is often a more secure bet while short-term trading can be riskier and might lead to losses due to market ups and downs

I'm not sure about others but I am doing both of those. I have invested in some good alt coins and I hold my Bitcoin. At the same time I am doing good as a trader. So I guess we can do both of those, in fact I believe trading can be more profitable during bull run.

I observe the market on daily basis, mostly I look at the charts of Bitcoin. Sometimes I also observe the charts of other reputed alt coins, and see their movements. In this bull market anything can happen, many of the alt coins may also reach their ATH, and all those people who have invested in those alt coins might earn huge profits.

Traders can also earn huge profits because of the movements of the market, because a volatile market can give good profits to day traders or scalpers. I know trading is more riskier than investing but the one who is good at trading can earn some good revenue from trading.
Looking at the chart of BTC we all can tell that it's about reaching is previous ATH. When that happens, then there's no telling of what next BTC will do. I think those who are not stable yet in trading should consider trying other alt so they wouldn't get caught up.

I have shown some of my friends how to use Dual Investment and I think I have discussed this before here.

We all know that We are in the bull run or bull market as they say and Bitcoin has reached its previous ATH and most traders don't know what will be the next move for BTC and some of these Altcoins are literally following the pump of BTC as well, as most are not genuinely pumping in their own accord.

So now, what do y'all do? As for me, I just invested in some coins I believe that will surge in few months while I observe what the market is doing.

Your Right there is alot of  significant market activity with Bitcoin hitting new peaks and altcoins tagging along. My approach has been to blend smart investment choices with careful market monitoring. My strategy, for example, uses a Human-in-the-loop AI for asset rebalancing. My Crypto trading bot is designed to be flexible with market changes and optimize my returns. By diversifying my investments and keeping a close eye on market movements.

trading is quite good but you have to understand the system of trading before you establish yourself in trading, its quite right that trading have to do with skill and it's what can acquire and understand very well before you could make a profit, in norms every thing that has to do with cryptocurrency has it own techniques, so it's better to hold than trading because trading Carrie's losses when you have not understand the procedures.

You know what they say:

"Hodl it till you make it."
That's good advice, it will be better for we to hold a coin until we make a profit on it, some of the people who holds coins doesn't exercise patients enough for coins to enter bullrun before selling, so many of them is just curious of making profit, for me I will say that it's better for we to hold our coins and target bullrun than trading.

If you invest, your losses will be less and your chances will be less. You will still have some of your capital or your original token.  Like gaming, this is actually the case in our society.
(...)
You can not guarantee that your losses will be less, it depends on your risk tolerance, trading or investing will always have risk and depends on your risk strategy.
There are also different kind of trading, over  the time you have few trades open or some day trading where you will be more active in the market to open more positions.
Let me say in comparison, it's obvious and understanding that trading has do with risk management and investment also have to do with risk management, but when you are smart enough you will not experience the kind of loss you may experience in trading whereas investment will give you less loss compared to trading.

Yeah true, daily traders are doing something quite dangerous and quite risky as well so it is going to take a while for them to get used to it. I understand why people would see that as a big deal but the reality is that we are going to end up with some trouble if we are not careful at all.

We should be considering it as important and we should consider the situation to be risky for many people involved as well. I get that not everyone can see the same thing as us, but it's just the way it should be done in a way that would make sense. I hope that we could make it work one way or another, and the way we could approach this would be just not that easy to handle. So trading is not for everyone, only the people who have steel emotions that can handle it very well.
