Trading seem to give a good return if you know what you are doing and/or lucky. Else, you could just lose your capital. I haven't started trading myself (just buying btc every now and then) but I suppose I'd just start small. Don't go all in in something your not familiar with.
As for investment, I'm not sure what you meant. If you mean investing btc into something that also pay btc, then be extra careful. There are plenty of sites there that would gladly take your bitcoin promising you good returns and then just run off with your money.
For people who are not comfortable with either trading or investing, maybe you can just buy and hold. Buy btc when it's low, cash out some when it's high, and then when it crashes again use that money to buy more.
Based on your statement and the last paragraph. I think it is all about trading because even though you investing you will still sell it for a higher price which is same as the principle of trading. You are not investing because you are trading, you will just choose if what you're gonna be in. In short term or long term
.
Well, since you pointed it out, holding and convert bitcoin to fiat IS trading. When I said trading, what I just had in mind is cryptocurrency trading like some people here engage in.
I just made a Poliniex account yesterday and quite frankly, I don't think it's for me.
Seems confusing.
Guess I'll be keeping my coins first while I look for someone to mentor me. In the meantime, I'm waiting for the next spike so I can dump some coins. I heard trading cryptos is better if you have more bitcoins and since I can only afford a few bits every
now and then, I'd probably build a larger stash first.
Investing though it is some kind of trading, it is somewhat different from each other. Trading requires active presence of the investor or the capitalist. Because you have to continuously analyze the movement of the market to gain from its fluctuation. You need to have to spend some time every day to check the market and choose what coin is best to trade.
On the other side, Investing does not require active presense (depending on what investment you've invested for) one good example, investing in gambling bankrolls. You just invest and you can leave it there. Just need to select the legitimate investment and beware of Ponzis and other scam investment (such as Bitcoin Doubler and other scams)
Agree with this. Trading can be considered a job while investing results in passive income with minimal effort.
