Topic: Trading or investment! What's your take? (Read 1815 times)

I am also doing things like you said, because in terms of comfort level to do one of them, it must be in investing and I have felt that for some time because I continue to invest with my personal abilities so that when I have free time I also started learning about trading so I could do this more challenging job with the knowledge I already had. Because these two things both have the same goal, namely profit, everyone really needs to learn the basics so that they don't go in the wrong direction and also don't panic easily when there are sudden changes in conditions in the market.

I do both as well. It really comes down to personal preference and comfort level with risk. Investing for the long term can be more stable, but trading can be exciting for those who enjoy the challenge. It's all about finding your own rhythm in the market. But if you are just starting between the two, starting with investing is often the safer choice and you can study how to trade along the way while wiaitng for the return if your investment.  Once you gain confidence and experience, you can venture into trading and start monitoring the market.

Business is risky whether it is crypto business or real estate business. Both trading and investing are risky, take risks, understand the market and do what feels safe to you. Investing usually requires long-term planning but trading does not have a specific plan. The purpose of investment is to buy and hold a certain coin for a long period of time and sell it at the end of a certain period and earn some profit, but in the case of trading, the point is to buy a coin at a low price and sell it at a relatively high price. Investing is definitely better than trading in long term planning and trading is not a bad choice for a person if he has trading skills. I always believe in long term investment and sometimes I trade with some amount but my investment is permanent.

He needs to set the target after doing the review and assessment, it's not just buy and hold but the trust he got from the developers. It will be the guide that he can use to keep holding and trusting the project. Without a goal that trader is doing it just the same with how gambling works, without knowledge you are taking the risk in hope that luck will be on your side to move and pump the market and give you decent profits.

Not a good way of doing it and using this venue for your investment, more on knowledge-based decision making is how trading works.

Holding is not as simple as you are trying to claim it to be. Holding can be extremely dangerous if you can't figure out the right strategy for how you will accumulate your holding assets. Also a holder needs to be visionary, as he needs to predict the future of an asset in the long term. If he fails to do that his time and money can be in a basket that doesn't have a floor. 

Try and try until you do find out on whats the best thing for you and as much as possible then the more the better but of course it would really be needing that proper time management and handling so that you could really be able to do such thing because if not then you would really be finding up yourself on being challenged because dealing up with multiple things wont really be that easy.It isnt really just that you would really be needing that time handling but also you would really be needing that financial management too, considering that you are dealing with multiple things which could really be bringing up that potential income and could really be put up into your condition that you could have multiple income streams but of course it wont really be that a guaranteed thing considering that both does involved out some risks but somewhat it is really just that worth on dealing up with this because how you would really be able to make yourself that be successful if you wont really be making out such move?

Some people doesnt really like on involving themselves too much in so much risks specially on trading which we know that not all would really be that capable on doing so and dealing with the market
with so much volatility isnt something that wont really be that simple but doesnt mean that its impossible to deal with.it is really just that it does really require sufficient knowledge
and skills for you to be able to handle up yourself onto this market but of course it would really be needing that sufficient effort and risks taking.

Obviously this is different between traders and holders.
How the complexity of traders who have to use several other tools as well as the mind to read chart patterns, analysis, fundamentals and emotions and much more to do in trading, not to say the heavy category but basically there are people who prefer to trade than hold because they have the skills and want to earn short-term.

A holder is actually simple, he holds as long as possible he will definitely get a profit, well actually this is not easy if they are people who really panic when they see prices drop dramatically, basically a holder can only practice patience.

Its like you are saying which is good. "Eating rice with hand or with spoon!" Trading and investing aren't fundamentally the same thing? If you were referring to trading or holding then we can have a topic to discuss. In general it depends on your skills, time, knowledge, mindset etc. One can be a good trader but also a bad holder. Experts say holders earn more profits than traders but i think this data is not constant. This result varies depending on different circumstances. You should choose which one suits you best.

I agree, choosing one should be the first step for a newbie.

The best option is to become an investor first. This is like testing yourself if you can take the market's reaction by having time to understand how investing in crypto is like.

You'll notice the huge difference of trading and investing and as a newbie, it's likely that you'll just be happy staying being an investor. And that's when you see how it is more risky to trade than to invest just like what everyone talks about it.

But you're all free to test yourself in trading too.

Everyday, we are present to either make good use of opportunities or refrained from them. None of them are as simple as they become apparent; they are complicated, yet with persistent measures, we can generate substantial earnings. We're in the position to produce major earnings in the system by rigorously adhering to the necessary characteristics that benefit us. Trading and investment are two distinct sectors; traders are actively trading crypto and digital currency pairings, while investors are also active, investing in good ventures. When it comes to realistic obligations, we're adults and should make informed decisions that serves us benefits at the end of the day.

We should always go for what works for us. There are some persons who might see trading as a difficult path and some might see normal investing in cryptocurrency as a waste of time. We all have different things that works for us just like some persons might like a particular food why others might dislike that same food. Investing might look easy to us but there arf people that don't know how to invest in cryptocurrency. They don't have the knowledge of choosing the right project that would survive the market for a long time and give them good profits.

In investing or trading, of course these two things have different levels of risk, but if we are new to the world of crypto, it would be better for us to choose one first to be able to make a profit and if we understand it well then we can do both things to be able to gain profits from investing and trading. If we commit to these two things, I think we can gain profits from investing and trading.

Investing is definitely a popular choice for many people! The reason is that trading can be quite demanding and stressful. You have to learn technical analysis, market structure, and stay focused on chart analysis to find your trading patterns. On the other hand, investors simply wait for a dip in prices, buy, and hold until they reach their profit target. Plus, the risk involved in trading is usually higher than in investing. Personally, I do both, but for someone who hasn't learned how to trade, investing is a safer bet. However, if you're willing to put in the effort and commitment, trading can be worth it. It's all about finding what suits you best!

Totally agree! It still depends on your preference because both are risky. But to simply answer the question, the best way to choose from these two is to identify your goals. If you are looking for a short-term goal, then I think it's better to do trading because there are trading which allows you to buy and sell assets within the same day, so this is the best pick if you are looking for a straight and quick profit. But if you want to head towards a long-term goal, then your best choice would be investing. Because as well know, in order to gain profits from your investment would take a lot of time. But if you know to yourself that you are able to manage things very well, I think the best choice would be choosing both because you can do day trading and investing at the same time. More risk, but with more potential income.

You just shipped in good advice, one should not be entirely condemned for the other as they have their pros and cons too. There are failed investments just as trading could amount to losses, however, the risk in trading is higher than in investment as long as the investor chooses the right assets for the investment. The introduction of cryptocurrency makes investment seem easy, but in the real sense, they are also risky, a lot of stocks have wrecked some people, and brokers often give bad investment advice that has ruined many as well.

But for cryptocurrency, even if there are bad investment moments, the bull run will always be the hope for all. Also about trading, as risky as it is, it's such that is capable of earning for a successful trader. Some traders could earn as much as 10,000% of their investment in just a year and be consistent with it, only that such traders are not common, it depends on how good we are in it.

I'm for Investment as I am a failure in trading , have tried couple of times for a month but brings me nothing but losses.
thought in the past that trading is a best place where to double your money everytime but Im wrong lol.

While In Holding , though i have made mistakes each past halving yet I have gain some good percentage in my remaining holding.

but what is important now is the coming one , I am going to secure many as I can to
taste the coming bull runs fruit.

some traders enjoy their trading, it won't give them a headache. investing may be more relaxed, the most important thing is that the right assets are chosen.
both are also equally risky, I do both even though lately I prefer investing than trading. Some people think luck lies in one choice only, not both. so for those who are still starting out, it is better to do both to be able to judge which one will be more suitable for them. because both trading and investing still require skills and experience.

In my opinion, investing or trading bitcoin both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Because of these two things (investing and trading) many people have proven and felt the benefits. So it can be concluded whether it is investing in Bitcoin or trading Bitcoin, it is still a good option to earn profits from Bitcoin. So basically it all depends on your wishes and abilities regarding these two things.

But for me personally, I prefer to just invest. Because investing in bitcoin doesn't take much time. Because currently I also have other activities. So choosing the investment path for me was the right thing. Additionally, as far as I know, the majority of bitcoin investors on this forum say that investing over a long period of time is the best way to get maximum profits. So I personally also agree with this. Because as we know, bitcoin has a clear cycle, such as halving which usually occurs within four years. In addition, after the halving cycle is always followed by a bullish market. Therefore, long-term investment in bitcoin, in my opinion, is the best thing for bitcoin investors to do. Because bitcoin does have a regular cycle every four years.

And for trading I like to do it on altcoins. I also do it over a certain period of time, not in a short time, for example not in a week, but for months. Because if I do daily trading, in my opinion I need very large capital to be able to get significant profits. So for trading I also have a time period of months.

it all comes down to personal liking, whether its trading and investing, if someone is vigorous enough to see the chart whole day 24/7 then they are fine with going with trading otherwise they could invest as a side earning.
with trading you can make big profit, but with big risk also requires you to mentally exhausts yourself.
meanwhile with investing, its as simple as just to wait until season changes. i personally would prefer to invest instead of trading since i'm not really good at it.
moreover i don't really want to make my head aching thinking of chart 24/7.

Well, this depends on the individual either trader or investor, their skills level, the market they engage themselves in and a lot of other factors. If you are someone who is more concern about the future and planning for long time, investing will work well for you because trading is for short time and instant profit with high risk involved compare to investment. It's necessary to have idea and knowledge on whichever you choose but investing require a little knowledge and you can begin your investment because it has less risk. Trading require a lot of experience and skills before you can be able to start and your success is still not guaranteed due to high risk involved.

If you are thinking of investment, never consider altcoins as you may likely lose your money. Forget the hype some of them are getting from media. Invest in bitcoin for a long time and you'll not regret you did. Altcoins are only suitable for trading. Regardless, you should just embark on your personal research.
