I think that trading can be faster, it's just that it can be done when you really understand the patterns that emerge. however, both of these things do take time and have the same risk. it's just that, I might prefer investing in something that is certain. It is better.

Of the two methods basically nothing will really generate a quick profit, because even so far those who know their virtual trading assume that trading is the way for them to get a quick profit, but in reality it is not like that. Awareness in this case will be something that needs to be considered for every trader and investor, because with you having awareness then at least you will do research first to use the money for trading and also investing.

When I started out, it used to be trading for me until my schedule got so tight that it took me out of crypto for a while. When I got back, a lot of conception changed for me such that I can't keep up anymore with watching trades. So I resorted to Investment. Short or long term depending on project scope and roadmap

but not all traders are successful. The majority of more than 90% of traders in this financial market fail and lose a lot of money before realizing this job is not easy. I have invested in learning trading knowledge in this market for 6 months and after applying it I still suffer a loss. I suddenly realized that in order to trade successfully, we need a group of people who prefer trading and teamwork is better. We will have people who have many different perspectives and together fix each other's mistakes and succeed together. So, find yourself a professional trading group. Remember, wolves never hunt alone.

Most people that "invest" which is pretty much most people who got some type of retirement fund, never actually do the trading on their own. They basically get some financial company to do it for them. They don't even care which sector they invest in. For most they won't see the money for decades so they don't really care what they are buying as long as it makes them a profit in the end.

Traders are different. They take their own trades and do their own analysis. However most of the time they are new and have no idea what they are doing. And they usually want to make money quick and fast and they jump back and forth in and out of the market which is a receipe for disaster. Hence why they lose money. Long term investing just takes too long and they rather day trade but most people can't handle trading on such small timeframes.

Both trade and investment are good but to trade we'd like to possess knowledge about trade and exerting we will make some money by trading short term a day but before that the market must be analyzed. the simplest thanks to trade is to research the trading charts well A long-term investment is sweet for investment Long-term investment can make us extra money if prices rise.

Both are good way to make much money but both are not same. You need much experience for each one of them specially trading. If we are talking about crypto currency investment then i will say it's much easier than trading. In crypto investment you just need a proper research, if you got positive side you'll invest your money and wait for proper time but in crypto trading you need to focus on multiple sides. Both can make you profit if you learn everyday about them but both are also make you count loss if you take a single wrong step. So before you choose them think twice how much experience you've got.

It is all about which one you would like to become actually, there is a personal thing behind it that nobody else can answer for you because they both have different feelings and those feelings that these things create are totally different for every individual and that is why nobody else can tell you anything.

For example, one person could love trading and buy sell constantly everyday and make money or even lose money but love doing it so they would suggest doing that, while some other person hates trading because of some reason and they might prefer investing for the long term (like retirement fund for example) and they might suggest that. What you have to do is try both of them, trading is easier to try because you could do it right away first, and if you do not like it then you can try investing for a longer term and see how that feels.

Indeed look at some popular Fiat currencies and stocks like the dow jones and USD they're all in risk for a default due to an incoming economic default from the cause of financial crisis. Even with stable assets like this can turn into zeroes, how much more investing with something is unpopular. The reality is that there are no safe havens and only invest or trade what you can afford to lose.

The difference between trading and investing lies inside us. It is a matter of character.
Trading brings the bacon at home after a day by day struggle, but investing, is another kind of operation which, upon thorough analysis promises safety of principal and an adequate return. Operations not meeting these requirements are speculative. Trading is speculative.
Investing consists equally of three elements:
1. You must thoroughly analyze a company, and the soundness of its underlying businesses, before you buy its stock;
2. You must deliberately protect yourself against serious losses;
3. You must aspire to “adequate,” not extraordinary, performance.

Like casino gambling or betting on the horses, trading in the market can be exciting or even rewarding (if you happen to get lucky). But it’s the worst imaginable way to build your wealth. That’s because Wall Street, like Las Vegas or the racetrack, has calibrated the odds so that the house always prevails, in the end, against everyone who tries to beat the house at its own speculative game.
On the other hand, investing is a unique kind of casino, one where you cannot lose in the end, so long as you play only by the rules that put the odds squarely in your favor. People who invest make money for themselves, people who speculate make money for their brokers. And that, in turn, is why Wall Street perennially downplays the durable virtues of investing and hypes the gaudy appeal of speculation.

That's right trading and investing are the best way to produce cryptocurrency. And both have a very high risk, then it is recommended
to use money that we can afford to lose. Especially for beginners to start trading and investing, they need knowledge, so you should
first learn about the world of trading and investing. After that, multiply the practice to improve abilities read and analyze the market,
making a profit will be easy to get.

And how many tens of thousands of people thought that they had it all figured out before they got into trading, right?

Not a crypto trader beyond necessary means but I will admit I fooled.myself in many of the same ways 15 years ago. My poison was forex. Spent months charting, learning, discussing. Almost a year of test trading, solid baby pip results and an impressive track record. Then I go in, real cash account. Thinking, I know the rules, I know the strategy, I know my weaknesses.

I knew nothing haha. Real market conditions catch all of us. Real emotions because of real money. Ah the folly of youth.

 Investment and trading belong to a very macro field and it requires a lot of learning and acumen. This is not a job that everyone can be good at, it depends on the personality of each person. For example, if I am someone who cannot sit still for too long while waiting for my order to reach the target, then I will not be able to match the trader. I can only analyze and invest short term in good alts and I think I will belong to the type of investor.
It is true that the more we do it, the more we learn, the better. But first, determine what your strengths or weaknesses are, then decide on a job.

trading and investing are the same way and destination to get as much profit but have different system how to get much money with bitcoin and altcoins, with trading we can make alot money every day and investing could earn but need to wait for long term

That must be a good point to notice but if you not want to face bearish market conditions with your investments then you must follow strict stop-loss practices so that you will exit all your investments when market enters into bearish conditions. This is possible if you are able to predict market trends more accurately or with the help of "trailing stop-loss" kind of strategies.

But, this way investing also becoming similar to trading but if you look for long term goals then you can ignore small fluctuations of market conditions and exit only for major bearish market conditions.

Yes both have risks, but both also have opportunities for anyone who is able to take advantage of every moment to turn it into the benefits that will be obtained. So I don't think it is wrong between the two because even if you can do both then of course it will be better because you will still benefit from trading when the market is bearish and when the market is bullish then trading and also investment will reap greater profits.

Yes, but are having risks but choosing the one which is having comparatively less level of risk must be a wise decision, a crypto enthusiast can do in his lifetime. I agree time is the difference between trading and investing but with respect to crypto investments/trading we will be having another big differences. I mean investing is just another kind of trading but it will be having less risk and more profits and trading will be having more risk and (compared to what investors do get) less profits.

This is because cryptos are good in long-term holding which makes investors to get more profits with the less risk and traders may suffer with unexpected fluctuations. So, it is always good to invest with crypto is rather than risking in trading crytpos.

We the community are here to guide you according to your questions and doubts. You do not need 1 to 1 guidelines because you can find lots of useful discussions across this forum with respect to crypto investments. If you're new to trading my first humble suggestions would be, "please avoid crypto trading" but start investing in bitcoins with long term goals.

I'm 💯 into investing on top coins only and as for trading I only jump in when I feel like it's the beginning of a bullrun, trading is more risky than investing on top coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum

both have the risk. You can get an investment profit when the price is pumping, but if it decreases, you will get a loss. as well as trading. it's just the difference is the time. Personally, I chose investment, because I feel that trading is too risky for now.

can anyone guide me i want to invest in crypto and start trading.?
