I would also choose to invest instead of trading, and like you, I have lost so much with trading. But sometimes, I still trade if I see a profitable opportunity for me.

Regarding investing in altcoins, I don't see anything wrong with investing in them, although they may be riskier than bitcoin, their return will also be greater than bitcoin. Investing in altcoins is not too bad, but we should only invest when we are ready to take risks and have enough knowledge and experience to choose potential projects. Do not invest in them blindly and rely on luck like gambling, everything requires specific knowledge and planning.

Trading looks lucrative but its not very easy to tackle. I gave up trading long ago, it may be suitable for some but not for me. If you have to invest in alts then split your capital into two parts, major portion for bitcoin and minor for trading into alts. Price of alts is tightly coupled with Bitcoin so its best to invest in bitcoin as price of alts will only go up with Bitcoin. Take example for Eth for instance there is not even a single instance where Eth has gone up on its own. So better stick with Bitcoin.

investment is indeed more profitable for those who still find it difficult to trade. but it's a shame if we leave trading, at least set aside a little profit to learn trading, considering that by trading we will get daily income, especially for job less. until now I am still in the process of learning to trade even though I often experience losses, even though I work as an employee, because over time trading is like addiction and gets its own pleasure, by analyzing and learning discipline and emotional control, and this will carry over to our daily attitudes we are in the real world

Basically, the goal of creating interest in both trading and investing is to maximise your money. In trading, you make profits from market fluctuations for a short period of time, usually by buying and selling assets for a few days or a week. To achieve these goals, you have to take into account the fluctuations of the market with skill, discipline, and courage. While investing is a long-term process, you should keep these fundamentals in mind and add your own research and analysis to stay informed. If you have to choose between trading and investing, you must determine your goals.

for a beginner will usually be confused with what they should choose. and then try both. it's a natural thing to look for where exactly his skill and luck are. there are those who really control trade and also investment. but sometimes beginners are not too patient with the investments made so they are more interested in trades that can bring profits in a faster time.
a beginner will feel gradually, until finally maybe both will be done with different goals. investing for long term gains and trading for short term profit planning. most importantly distinguish the assets allocated to trade and investment. so everything won't be confusing.

Naturally, because trading is complicated so the stress level might be high,
but that doesn't mean investing is easy because after all it has risks too,
don't expect us to be risk-free when involved in investing or trading.

Trading is a high risk activity which requires a lot of know how and experience to have any chance of success in the field. This makes it the more dangerous for newbies and I don't exclude that to beginners on the forum but in trading as a fied. Your met with those that could be said to have been well experience in the field having had a lot of layers on there skin and they can use this.

Trading isn't for any individual with minimum knowledge, if any individual goes into trading without having the right information they'll lose. Many individuals have lost millions in the market because of this. Trading is more riskier than investing. Trading demand to be more active in the crypto market because as a trader you depend on news happening in the market to determine if you'll be putting in a buy order or opting out of the market.

Investing requires minimum work and attention. Investing has less risk involved as if you have patience you can always profits from investing in Bitcoin. Investing in altcoins on the other hand has the same risk as trading so unless you're ready to lose it don't do that.

Well, it’s clear that if you want to be more stress free and high risk free, then chose bitcoin investment over trading. What you need is just patience and emotional control so you won’t end up investing at a loss. For me, I don’t want to settle on only one when I know I have the potentials to be more profitable when I do both. That’s how optimistic I am especially with trading that will let you experience massive profits as long as you always follow the rule and basics when trading.

Everyone has a different say when it comes into trading or investing. Although I must say that trading is more promising than investing, but it also depends whether you’re skilled and highly knowledgeable in trading or you only have heart for investing. For me, I chose to do both, and eventually do some trading when I see opportunities to sell and gain higher profits. And investing has always been my first choice, that’s why until now I still do DCA to increase my bitcoin in my portfolio.

In trading, you can get the possible target outcome in a shorter time frame, unlike with investment. It takes time. That's my personal take and I understand that there are other perceptions and other opinions about it. But if you are into passive benefits and you are not a fan of taking a bigger risk, investment is by far is better than you just buy and hold, then wait for your set target to be achieved.

No longer time to check the market and no hassle in adjusting your position from time to time, compared with trading where you need to check your asset and if the situation calls, you need to adjust or abort your position.

If you want to be a trader, then you should be ready to learn, as a trader you will always learn, even if you have the right knowledge, then you should be upgrading frequently, trading is not for lazy people, if you are not ready to learn then its just better you don't go into trading because with time you will end up losing money, bitcoin trading is completely different from investment, if you have basic knowledge when you are investing in bitcoin, then its fine, since you will be holding for long term, but in trading you don't only need basic knowledge.

Investing in altcoin is very risky which i wont recommend anybody to do that, but if you are investing in bitcoin, then its less risky. If you can do your analysis and you invest in bitcoin, just make sure you transfer your wallet to a non custodial wallet and secure your private key. But you really need to be careful when trading, trading is not easy compare to investment.

Indeed!
This is actually always boils down on someones preference since not all would really be that risks takers and someone who are really get used to being stressed and able to face up those common challenges specially
if you do make out some trades.Its true that it would really be that depending on someones interest because not all would really be that trying out to play safe, even holding for long term doesnt guaranteed safety imho.
In having the choices in between things wont really be necessary specially if you do longing for more income then having both would really be ideal.it would really be just depending on how much risks that you could be able to take or able to bare since not all would really be having this kind of mindset and strong emotion on dealing up with things which are risky. Choose according on something that you could be able to handle,
mistakes and errors are common but on the time that you do get sufficient experience then you would definitely be able to handle yourself into this unpredictable market.

And so as investing because there's also lots of scams lying around on this category. From time to time, we will always hear people complaining about how they got scammed. Given that trading is a lot riskier, then it is supposed to be less in-demand than investing.

Also, it was investing is the one that uses fundamental analysis but for trading, they are mostly using technical. Depends on your goal as an investor, if you are only for short term then you are require to monitor your investment actively so that you can sell immediately right after seeing a great opportunity. Not all altcoins are a scam but a pro trader or investor can still be able to play well with the risky alts.

I prefer to invest all the time because if one invests at the right time by understanding the market conditions then one can expect to get a lot of good out of that type of investment. But I want to pay attention to the side of trading as well as investing because after investing in a coin for a long period of time I want to trade in later periods. If trading or investment can be done by understanding the market then both are very profitable but we must understand the market first. Those who think that trading or investing will make you rich overnight, then you are wrong because investing will never guarantee that you will become rich. You have to earn your own qualification by earning your own qualification and using that qualification and then you have to dream of earning money from trading or investment only then the dream will come true.

Such a wrong impression though there are lucky people who take the risk and invest during the peak and manage to earn, but it doesn't mean that it will always like that, after that luck and you continue to invest or trade like that you'll find yourself losing everything back, investment or trading needs time and needs the right knowledge to equipt yourself,

along the way you'll find the winning strategy if you take time studying and researching with how the market works and how to anticipate the market condition, either way, both investment and trading can give you benefits if you understand it well.

Of course everything must be based on good knowledge trading or investing and both are the same in my opinion and the level of risk will also be proportional to all the possibilities that will be obtained, it all comes back to oneself to choose and in my opinion there is neither the best nor the worst among both of them.
And regarding the strategy to be able to benefit, it also starts with knowledge before doing something and over time experience will teach you many things, I don't believe in luck, all of that happens because of what we have learned.

Investing in a business or even in a project, it doesn't requires a lot of skill but, just some knowledge of how the business environment works and it becomes a matter of the growth level you can attain within a period. Its something you can definitely build on slowly until you attain fast growths.

Having to pick between them both for me would be one with minimal risk and that would be investing in this case.

in investing, we do not need special skills and only need to wait until we see the results of the investments we have. That's a very good advantage, because when people want an increase in the value of their assets, they sometimes tend to think of the least risk. It's just that, the drawback in investing is the slow increase in value that occurs. you may need to wait years to feel the price increase that occurs in the results of your investment, an example is gold. I see a margin that is more than 5 years until you can see that the value of your investment goes above 40%. The same thing also happens with online investments such as crypto, but the risk is a little bigger because we don't know what developments will happen to what we invest in the future.
While trading tends to have a greater risk than investment, it's just that the margin of profit obtained is greater. Trading requires special skills in gathering information, reading charts and more. However, the percentage of profit that can be obtained if we are successful in investing is very large, even within a month you can get very large returns if successful.
However, these two things still have a large number of enthusiasts. everything just needs to be conditioned by their respective circumstances.

How important experience is in trading and it can't be bought,
experience must be passed through a process that is not certain for a moment,
and the question is whether the beginner can be patient to go through it all because a slight mistake when making a decision will also make you lose.

Both trading and investing have their merits depending on a person's goal risk tolerance and timing. Investing is a gradual process of wealth growth. Wealth can never grow without investment. A trader involved in cryptocurrencies must think deeply and decide whether he wants to be a trader or a holder. An investor needs to understand where to invest his funds. You can increase or decrease your invested funds through daily trading. But to become a holder, you must be more patient and you can keep all the funds that you don't need in a very short time or even a long time. And we all know there are more people trading than holders.

Patience is a virtue; we all have times when we rise and fall, but one thing we must remember is that we must be able to get back up. Trading and investing are both beneficial for us; we have to combine them in order to keep the money stream running. I'm a trader, and based on my research, I believe that trading is more stable than investing. I can trade in minutes or hours, and I'll see the results, either gains or losses. When I invest, I have to wait a certain number of weeks, months, or even years before I can see my returns. One advantage of investing is that it can be used to start a new life by purchasing a home or starting a business.

I come at it from a slightly different angle, that of an investor. If you want to experience the thrill of an action movie in real time, then trading is the way to go. Profits, losses, and a rush of adrenaline all contribute to a healthy dose of curiosity. Feels like you're always making new discoveries! Do you not feel threatened by the uncertainty? The market could be as placid as a dolphin one day and as predatory as a shark the next.

But investing is more like watching a sapling develop. It's a long process, for sure, but the reward of a healthy tree that continues to bear fruit year after year is well worth the wait. Having a reliable source of income is very helpful when beginning a new life or business.

Business and investment can be effective strategies for every individual to increase wealth and achieve financial goals. Trading actively involve buying and selling short term to take advantage of market ups and downs, while investing relies on you buying and holding assets for long term growth. On the other hand, both trading and investing have risks as you need to constantly monitor the analyzed knowledge and go through a systematic approach while trading. Investing on the other hand is a long term view, observe with patience and diversification.
