I am an investor but that does make me an expert? I would say no. But I've got the experience on what should I do during the bears and bulls. It is the factor that gives us an advantage because we know how to react and what shall be done especially if the market doesn't look good.
While some are in panic during the corrections, investors are acting accordingly through buying because we know what's going to be the next scenario after it.

Apart from the long-term benefits, what made you so choose to invest? while beginners like me who only rely on daily finances still have the needs of today's trading. Since you are at least a little experience in investing rather than trading, give me some tips on what factors to invest in in a simple and resilient way in bear market conditions.

It's about the convenience that investment can give to you. It always ends up with long term benefits because you have a long term vision with your investments. If you want to take with the short term, it's also okay and you have to be that active in the market, do some daily trading or weekly or monthly. What I can advise you is to at least keep 5%-10% of your salary and put that into bitcoin. If you can't do that much in percentage then 1%-5% or any amount will do and keep doing that when you have money, do the dollar cost averaging strategy. That strategy is effective even a bear market sudden comes out.

In short this is actually on personal preference because we would surely stick into something that really gives us more convenience or really make use comfortable of our investments.
Some would be finding that taking it for short term is much more worthy and some do see or find that holding is much better than on actively trading just because they do lack up
some knowledge and skills on dealing with the market.Its on how you do really engage and on how you do look on what will really be beneficial for you or would really
align into your capacity.

We should bear our emotional side during bear market, because if we can't handle it and overcome fears there's a tendency that we're going to lose. Unpredictable market is what you're pertaining to so we shouldn't allow all negative thoughts lingers in our mind, it's a huge factors that affects our decision. Often time the market corrections made things worst if you can manage to control yourself on different situations.

Investors are also a trader, it just that they trade on a longer time frame and of course they only take profit once they are happy with it.

In trading we should always analyze the market before you buy and sell, same thing with investing for long term, let’s not confuse newbie here because both of this are just the same aside from their timeline since we always analyze. Both are risky of course, so make sure to know what’s best for you.

Most times we confuse trading with investment...

Simply everything is an investment! For trading you need money, so if you wish to trade and earn you need to invest some money! It's one of those risky investments where you can lose a lot! Why it's so hard for some people to understand this?!
You can invest in holding (it's a long-term investment) and that carries some risk as well, there's no risk-free investment in this world!

Quote

Investment - the action or process of investing money for profit.

As I said, you invest in what you think it's best for you! That can be trading, holding (long-term)... that can be gambling! You invest to make a profit! And every investment carries a certain amount of risk!

Trading and investing (holding) are distinctly different while swing trading is like the intermediate but yet still trading.

Types of trading
1. Scalping
2. Day trading
3. Swing trading

These are the three major types of trading while the fourth one is Arbitrage.

4. Arbitrage

There is nothing like types of traders, it is types of trading, traders can decide to choice anyone they like. Some can first prefer day trading and later move to swing trading, some traders can even be holding and yet trading all the types depending on his/her analyses.

It all depends on where you get your article from both are correct. https://www.interactivecrypto.com/types-of-crypto-traders you can refer to both traders and the trading process using the same types. I forgot to add fundamental trading as well as well as margin trading as you pointed out.

Most times we confuse trading with investment and some times we mix the whole concept together staring lots of confusion in the minds of newbies who struggle to get a firm understanding about how the crypto industry operate.

Crypto trading:
Trading involves the buying of one commodity in exchange for another it could be something of either a higher value or lesser value. For example if you buy ETH in exchange for USD it's called Fx/crypto trading. If Bitcoin is exchanged for ETH then we can say Crypto trading has taken place and this requires lots of analysis.

Types of Trading:
We have basically 5 types of traders

scalpers
swing trading
Day trading
position trading
Arbitrary Trading

Investors :
This are crypto experts who understands which coin or token will do well in the near future by studying previous chats or following up with news related to crypto generally. This also requires some level of technicality. This experts study coins newly listed in various exchanges, follow up on news released by their fellow experts as well as tweets by crypto influencers.
