It depends on you

Do trade when you know what you doing and want to gain a profit over time
do invest when you want to HOLD for a long period of time

both of them have their own risk so choose carefully, tho most people that I know is do both of them trade/scalping for usually altcoin and invest on bitcoin for long period of time

Learning and trading actually are still different. We may learn how the basics go with trading but when it's come to the actuality, a lot of things changes.
We have to deal with the reality that it's really different from what we've learned through the theoretical way.
If you're too emotional and not prepared for it, your experiences could be the reason why you want to stop trading and choose the investing way. But even with that choice, it's not an easy path as well.
this much is actually the truth, sometime theory isn't gonna fit with practicality and what really occurred in real scenario, some time the technical analysis become useless when there's sudden rumour going around in regard of the coin that we are trading and investing, its just really obscure overall in determining how the market will actually moves.
therefore second plan or back up plan is always essential and needed because our trade and investment could definitely go wrong.
added with the fact that sometimes there is manipulation occurring if you are investing in relatively low market capitalization coin.

Yeah, there is no need to prolong that. If you're a trader and your risk appetite can be extended to investing too then that's good.
If you're an investor and you keep on investing to the point that you think people mock you because they'll always that you'll become rich soon and that is because you're investing. Not gonna say it's a discouragement in real life but you just don't know if they're making or not.
And sometimes not everyone is ready to become a trader even though they have learned a lot about trading. Because some people are sometimes always hampered by poor emotional control in trading activities. So for this type of person, investing will be much more suitable. But for someone who has expertise in trading and is also good at controlling emotions or has a strong mentality, trading can be a way that can provide more and faster profits. So yeah in the end it will depend on which type we are.

Trading is always a tough way of earning and when it is crypto it is more difficult .However though it is difficult but we can earn a lot from here if we have good strategy to apply .To make strategy we have many things to do ,We need to learn fundamental startegy , technical strategy and also control our mind as you said .Controling mind i mean emotion help you to increase your profit ratio .He who are become addicted on trading and loose enough better quit trading and make investment , Hope can recover everything .Remember both trading and investment are different if you do trade you may avoid investment cause you don’t have much information about investment .Myself doing trade and i will suggest to learn trading ,Hope we can earn more here than investment and quickly too.
There's no such thing on this world could really be that easy specially if we do speak or talk about money making, whether through investment or though other ways or methods on which it could give out chance or

opportunity for us to make money and this is something that would really that hard. Trading? Its not something a skill that you could get or mastered in a short time. Investment? Its always be depending on
recognition and demand on which these things arent that guarantee on the time that you do decide on dealing with it. When it comes on choosing on which path you would be taking then it would
really be depending on your choice because you are the ones would really be pertaining or looking out on which way you would be seem to be effective.

Its a matter of trial and error because not all would really be that good on something but as long we dont try then we wont really be able to find out.
There are really things which are really that hard of for us to deal with but since this is an opportunity to make money then there are people who could really be able to deal with.

Trading is a difficult task, and only a well-experienced trader can do it, so people who do not have experience and knowledge should prefer investing over trading.
And those people that have done trading but they think that they can't do it and they're just making losses instead of profit should prefer investing. It's not a problem if you're not good in trading when you're making profits but it's not a temporary problem that will be made. You'll have that time that you will see yourself that you're going to loss and you'll have that tough time to recover when you're not good at it. So much better to put that money into investing and let it grow on its own over the period of time.
Indeed, by investing it will be easier to do so, but for those who want to do trading as their main job there is nothing wrong, but you need to know that you can learn until you have good knowledge about trading.
Not a problem when someone's pushing to become a day trader and it is no longer our business whether that person wins his daily trades or not. It is not a concern and affairs of us when someone decides to be like that. But there are people that want to get into the decision of these people that does it and think that it's cool for them to check them out without thinking what they're about to say to them.

Trading has a greater level of risk than investing, therefore we should not only judge it in terms of profits, but we must also consider the risks so that we don't regret it later.
And that is because every day is too risky for you and you've got to win your trades if this has become your main source of income. But as they say, most of the traders lose.

Aside from what you indicated, you can be an investor even if you have no knowledge of trading activity; you can learn trading while you are a long-term holder and waiting for the ideal time to sell what you own, whether it is bitcoin or another cryptocurrency.

When it comes to investing, there is no such thing as a headache when compared to short-term trading. Because, of course, when a trader seeks profit in a short period of time, such as a day or an hour, it is up to the individual to determine how he will proceed.

I barely trade and the reason is that it often requires you to have a really good understanding of the market. If you're not proficient in technical analysis then it's either you're opting for copy trading i.e you intend to copy the trades of elite traders. Personally I opt to invest and 70% of my BTC are spread across flexible savings, snowball investments and dual investments. This way I get to earn passively instead of trading and losing or just merely holding and earning nothing. You can check these investment options here.

If you think you will do investment and trading together then that is totally up to you which needs good amount of financial support. If there is good financial support you can invest in any one coin for a long time and carry out your own trading activities in all other coins.

I think this should be the best thing to do because depending on just one source of income isn't always safe. If we can do both trading and investing. It'll benefits us because when you trade and make profits, you can reserve some profits and use them to invest into Bitcoin or other altcoins that you're interested in although it'll be better we Invest in Bitcoin because that's the most safest cryptocurrency you can invest in and be sure you can make profits in the bull market.

Trading needs your active awareness because you'll have to be active with what's happening in the market to make your trading very profitable but investing doesn't need you to be very active in the market as you can just buy and hold and wait for the bull market, so both are combinable.
According financial support or not to make choose between trading or investment, have other factor beside with good financial we have another income and trading in cryptocurrency is not our main income. Simple if you have much saving and have main job with higher salary payment every month will choose investment than trading, but without have another passive income and trading is the only way for our income there are not any choose except prefer trading than investment.

In trading need skill and always updating bad or good news every day, difference with investment we close all market price update in daily day and waiting when price going up few weeks or months later but in trading we must active for getting good news and selling assets trough have profit.

According to the market you have to decide whether you will trade or invest. We need to have a good understanding of both trading and investing so that we can do the right thing at the right time according to the market. Whenever you feel that long term investing is better than trading then you should definitely invest instead of trading. Again trading is a better decision than investing when the market fluctuates naturally so you must be more focused on trading at that time. 

If you think you will do investment and trading together then that is totally up to you which needs good amount of financial support. If there is good financial support you can invest in any one coin for a long time and carry out your own trading activities in all other coins.

Regardless of which one is best, I believe both of these options have their respective advantages and disadvantages. People who tend to be able to take advantage of market volatility due to their expertise will certainly take advantage of it to gain profits in the short term instead of just hoping for returns in the long term. Of course they can trade and invest at the same time, but trading tends to involve a lot of risk due to price volatility.
Of course, each has their own advantages & disadvantages.

Trading enables someone to take faster profits, but it requires good trading skills and mentality (knowledge, experience). But the profits in trading won't be as big as the profits in an investment. Specifically for day trading, it commonly only earn few dollars. But I think it is not too risky because we don't hold a coin for a long time.

Meanwhile an investment, it offers higher profits. But the risk is quite high because we are intended to hold a crypto coin for a long time (few months, few years). We must be very careful to choose crypto coins for investment since we will hold them for years.

By the way, surely both trading and investment are risky due to the volatility on crypto prices. But I think we can deal with the volatility if we know how to analyze the market trends. We also need to avoid shitcoins or weak coins, that probably can have a significant change in price at a short time. And there are many other ways to deal with the volatility.

Yeah, there is no need to prolong that. If you're a trader and your risk appetite can be extended to investing too then that's good.
If you're an investor and you keep on investing to the point that you think people mock you because they'll always that you'll become rich soon and that is because you're investing. Not gonna say it's a discouragement in real life but you just don't know if they're making or not.
Yes, it all matters with risks taking because if you couldnt really be able to take up the risks then go into that far extent but if your risks appetite could really be able to do so then it is really an opportunity for you to

progress even more and this is something that would really be that preferrable to do so but of course it would really be needing more capital for you to involved with because if you do lack finances
then there's no way that you could really be able to take advantage with the situation and this is something that in normal approach. Trading or investment? if you could do both then the better
but if you do want to choose one then it would really be that depending on someones preference since we know that each person does have the the same capability or simply with the skills.
The sure thing that we do have in mind is that on the time that you do have multiple possible income source then it would be always better.

The only issue here is that not all does have that risks management and taking for them to proceed and some even have the money but having no confidence
would really be hindering them on making up such step.

Investing and trading are two distinct ways of making money from financial markets. Investing means buying and holding a portfolio of stocks for an extended length of time at the right time. Trading is the frequent buying and selling of stocks to profit from price fluctuations driven by supply and demand considerations as well as overall market mood. But investors with long-term holdings are better positioned to diversify their investments and reduce the risk of large losses. Learn about trading before trading traders who buy and sell only a few popular stocks have less diversified portfolios, so the movement of any one stock has a greater impact on their financial health.

Regardless of which one is best, I believe both of these options have their respective advantages and disadvantages. People who tend to be able to take advantage of market volatility due to their expertise will certainly take advantage of it to gain profits in the short term instead of just hoping for returns in the long term. Of course they can trade and invest at the same time, but trading tends to involve a lot of risk due to price volatility.

I avoid day trading as much as I can, but that doesn't mean I'm incapable of exploiting volatility to make a profit. Long term investing tends to make me more comfortable although I may occasionally use 10% of my DCA budget to trade.

Both have risks and they need some knowledge. Investment has a wide variety whether it is business, land, property, or stock. Trading on the other hand is more about stocks, crypto, or forex. The advantage of this is that you can do it at home which is accessible unlike investing in some physical things where you'll need to be there to check it.

Having both is good because it means diversifying your investment and if both are successful then you'll be earning a profit. Just choose what risk you take and be good at it rather than not risking at all.

There are risks in every business but our aim is not only to make profit but also to keep the risks in mind. In business where we do not have knowledge and experience, the risk of loss increases. A good experience and knowledge can improve our profit rate. Of course there are many methods and types of investments.So before investing in any business one needs to learn.

There are some businesses that you cannot control from home and you have to physically go and check these things yourself, but crypto currency is an investment that can be done from the comfort of your own home. Both trading and investing are good but I think investing is relatively easy whereas trading requires you to be mentally engaged all the time. The risk of loss is less in investing than in trading. Trading is a difficult task, and only a well-experienced trader can do it, so people who do not have experience and knowledge should prefer investing over trading.

Should have good knowledge for both investing and trading. But trading requires more intelligence and knowledge than investing ... I prefer investing to trading.

Well, both need a piece of good knowledge about things and superior intelligence to make a handsome amount of profit. You have to work more to excel in trading because you will need to learn analytical and technical skills. On the other hand, an investor also needs to brainstorm his ideas regarding the best investment options. Investment is a bit safer option than trading, but the profit margin is also less. Trading is riskier, but when looking at the profit margin and earning potential, I think it is better to take some calculated risk.

Both have risks and they need some knowledge. Investment has a wide variety whether it is business, land, property, or stock. Trading on the other hand is more about stocks, crypto, or forex. The advantage of this is that you can do it at home which is accessible unlike investing in some physical things where you'll need to be there to check it.
