Topic: What is better - cryptocurrency trading or investing? - page 18. (Read 4394 times)

Hodling works great if you want long term one instead of short term. About trading, I don't have much knowledge and experience about it since I did not do much trading before and doing technical analysis needs a lot of time where it is one of the important things to do to predict the price. In trading, you can do it daily which in my experience you can earn profit and also loss if the price suddenly decrease but mostly profit and much faster but with higher risk of losing profit.

While your chances improve dramatically when you do your due diligence at the same time you will need to invest an incredible amount of work, after all for every good cryptocurrency out there there are probably one hundred that are completely useless and this means that you are going to need to read hundreds of white papers, websites and developers profiles in order to find that coin and that can be incredibly exhausting and I'll not be surprised that many people give up before even finding one good coin.

Daily trading is profitable and you can earn more than holding, however it depends on us on how to make it happen because not all traders are able to earn by doing so. On the other side, you bought your btc in time the bullish season is almost over, year 2018 is the correction phase of btc and it didnt recover fast thus some investors became tired of waiting including you. Patience is a must if you want to hold for long period because we'll never know when the market is going to bounce back consistently.

Yes the cryptocurrency market is difficult to predict and the cryptocurrency market is completely different from other markets,
it is very volatile and when we hold it in the long term not everything ends in losing money,
what is certain is that investing or trading in cryptocurrencies is not as easy as we imagine

Yes, it's true, if you refer to the short term it may be better to trade for short term profits. But if you intend to go long term, invest. It's just that depending on the goal, you want to keep it safe.. that means it's not crypto, but if you want to speculate on the value of big risk, big results and risk of loss, crypto is also quite good

I honestly believe that there is a good chance we could end up with a lot of profit only if we could ignore the price. I have done that for a very long time now and I am very happy with the results. I am not only invested in bitcoin, I am invested heavily into eth and bnb as well and making profit in both of them, and I have invested in some smaller coins as well like uniswap and cake as well and making a profit in both of them as well.

In short, the ability to ignore the price allowed me to make a good profit in the long run, and for some people that is not easy for some reason, but an investor could make a profit 100% guaranteed given enough time whereas a trader may end up losing money all the time forever if they are bad at it, or they could make a lot more profit than an investor if they are good at it, so it is a risk that you take while becoming a trader.

Tastes differ.
It depends on what goals you want to achieve and how much money you are ready to invest and for how long. These questions should be answered in order to understand waht is better for you: trading or investing.
Investing is usually made for a really long time. Some people invest in order to have much money after retirement, others invest in order to afford their children go to college, some people don't like high volatility which is a characteristic feature of cryptos and they want to invest their money in order to keep it safe. There are plenty of other reasons but they are all united by a long planning horizon. Investing presupposes keeping the stocks for 10-20 years, even more. The advantage of investing is that you don't need to check your portfolio every day, you can just reallocate the assets twice a year.
As for trading cryptos, there are a lot of different risks like above mentioned high volatility. You'd better to close the deals fast in order not to lose all the money because it is hard to predict the long-term movement of cryptos' prices. If you need to make some money in a relatively short period of time, cryptos are more suitable for this goal than investing. If you want to preserve your money and make huge profits in the period of 20 years, you'd better invest in stocks or invest in real-estate.

Once you make your investment you are right there is not much to do except accept the losses when the market is down and enjoy the profits when the market is going up, however before you make any investment there is in fact a lot to be done, many people just invest in whatever coins that they like but a real investor takes the time to look at every aspect of the asset in which he is interested and only after months of investigation he will invest in the asset, which means that being an investor is also a lot of work and it is not as easy as it may seem at first.

Cryptocurrency investing is better if you study the market situation lots of cryptocurrencies are available in the market the two main influential currencies are bitcoin and etherium. Most cryptocurrencies are driven by blockchain technology and each has a different level of volatility. Currently their potential greatly affects the financial markets of all sizes and sizes opening up investment and business opportunities for them.

Crypto investing is still the right strategy in my opinion because mass adoption has not yet been embraced. Plus the fact that Tax laws are now being implemented around the globe. Never  would you gain more with frequent trading scheme because capital gains will always lessen your profits.

It's best to try indulge yourself into trading and investing and when you get there, you can already make a comparison which one suit your capabilities and skills. I guess its the experience that will help you chose the better.

Well, there's no bad in trading as long as you know how to do it rightly and you were able to make profits even if the market is crashing. If not, then better stick into investing and chose those coins who has high potentials to buy and hold and sell them only when your target price has been achieved.

As for me, trading and investing is good on a long run, I develop quality time on both, study the market trends and follow daily updates, I don't rush to sell nor to invest but the idea is that we all have different opinions and preferences and either going for trading or investiging it is better to understand when to strike (invest) and when to withhold.

Both trading and investing  have their own advantages and one can make profits from both.Investing is more safer when the right choices are made and does not involve lot of risks unlike trading.I have lost alot to trading but some professionals have made alot from it so the choice totally depends on you to choose the one you are better at.

It all depends what are your priorities if you want to generate passive income then Trading is best but you have to learn  rules of the game, means when to make entry and when exit by using Technical Indicators  as well as safeguarding your trade by sop loss but if you are preared to hiold it for long term then be rest assured BTC will again beak its ATH most likely by the end of 2021. NOT A FINANCIAL ADVICE. DYOR

- Trading also has many types of division into short-term and long-term, so the time per day will also be reduced a lot if we tend to focus on the long-term, but perhaps this is just a variation of investing, more precisely, we design the steps down to the smallest detail, instead of adopting the old fashioned approach. No case of the market can confuse us as long as we actively coordinate, do not look for a reckless as future and intraday

If you wish to make active profit, you can try trading. It requires you to have knowledge about the market though. You need to understand how the market works and keep yourself updated every moment. You will be making small profit in the short run. But the risk is also high. On other hand, if you don't want to actively engage yourself with the market, then go for investment. Hold you coins, sit back, relax and sell when you reach your profit goal.

If you do not have reliable skills to trade in Cryptocurrencies, better not, trading is not easy and you have to be full time to control the market.
if there is something simpler and quieter to do like invest why not and only take advantage of when the price is down to buy and hold for the long term and sell when the price has gone up high as you expected and it is very simple and can avoid worry and panic when prices go down.
and investing is a very safe and relaxed choice for beginners as well as those who have been in the industry for a long time.

There were a lot of calculations on this topic, and the result was always the same both in the stock market and in the crypto: long-term investment is more profitable.Personally I stick to the strategy of having better part of your assets in different fundamental currencies like Bitcoin, BNB, Ethereum etc, but 5-10% if you have enough time you can of course use for trading, for new strange projects, as it can give you fast income, although big losses as well.

I agree with your opinion . I have no regrets buying and holding ETH when its value is still so low. Because I firmly believe that ETH will reach its current point. My assets also increased and I am sure that later it will continue to increase. If bitcoin I still can't afford to invest long term.

First of all, investment is more calm than trading, as you just buy and then wait, you don't need to check charts every day, the time works for you.
Secondly, I consider trading in the crypto market to be too risky, because of this terrible volatility. As in the stock market it is not very common to see changes in price by 10% and more every day! So, my conclusion is that Bitcoin and some other crypto like Ethereum, BNB are worth investing for a long term.
