A Trader & An Investor
January 26, 2017, 02:48:37 AM
Allow me to share a real life example: In October 2009, when bitcoin trading began, the rate was 3509 bitcoin per US dollar. And now in 2017, as per today's rate. 1 Bitcoin is $907. Now, I will let you do the maths and decide which is better. My humble opinion is Investing as Crypto economy is all set to grow and multiply by many times in the coming years.

i had about $200 worth of bitcoin.
How can i earn more with that amount?
should I trading? or make an investment?
and please give me some trusted site to investing my wealth.

**i dont want to give a loan, or else.**

if you had some advice, feel free to tell me.
really apreciate it.
thank you.

If you have 200$ worth of bitcoin, that would be a good start of yours. As a newbie I think much better for you to do invest in the altcoins through ico just do make sure the coins is legit and potentials. Then Learn a little bit about in trading, because trading is very deep to learn you cannot get in 1 day or more at least you have basic knowledge about it.
That's a good idea, you have to take bigger risk since you only have a small amount of capital to start, you can find good altcoins nowadays and join the ICO to avail a cheap price and if possible you can go early to get the bonuses or discounts. Just require yourself to do a good research before pulling the trigger because education is very important to success and luck cannot sustain in this long term journey.
Trading is best for small amount of capital but it should be on a short term trading. Focus your time in monitoring the altcoins market, there are a lot of coins there that moves a lot, you have to take advantage of that situation and make instant money but you need time to do it as there is no easy money here.
LOL, you must have no knowledge about trading. You must be kidding me. Trading is never considered as a short term invest even if you have a small amount of money. I used to use only $10 and get the profit up to $400 dollar after a month. Therefore, I think trading is suitable for long term, not for short term

investment is very promising for the moment. perhaps trading is a good thing, but if you have a lot of investment, then you will have an income without fear of becoming unemployed, because you have an investment that will give you a salary, even you can trade with the results given by the investment.
I think both are good. In my opinion trading is the best bitcoin source because there is no limitations of income. A lot of investment sites  were turned into scam, but there is no scam in trading.
Bold line should be written in gold and nail in the UN's walls NOT, buying X coin(coughtrumpcough) at 0.0006 only because a few traders traded among themselves to even sell much higher than what they paid for temp pumping, price dropped from there to 0.00015 and will go down as it was before @ 0.00007. do you also believe more than 500 clones of clones of modified clones of btc are to bring prosperity for humanity right? NOT.

People literally launch a shitcoin and list in some more shity exchange only in hopes of some newbies being fool enough to take a risk and "INVEST" in their coins thus having a passive stolen income.

Yeah totally legit and scam free, NOT.

Both options are good.Tell us what you know better because we dont know which type of investment sites you know and we dont know how much experience you have with trading and also with what you want trade.If you know to find a cryptocurrency which have potential to grow that can be better than invest in bitcoin.I am sure in that because bitcoin is growing so slow and if you look in coinmarketcap site you can find the fastest growing cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency which is growing fastest is best to buy and sell later for more because there are more chanches like example if duckcoin increased own price for 800% that this cryptocurrency will grow more.But to find potential growing cryptocurrency better copy name of that crypto coin and do a research in google to have more chances to get a huge profit.

We can say that trading is exchanging money in different currencies and investing is just putting all the money into some business. Nevertheless, I would say that trading is investing in currencies and I think this is a promising thing to do. Just go to yobit or some other similar site, read stuff about some currencies and try your luck.
Yes, trading needs more than one instrument whereas investing would be done within one investment vehicle itself.

Trading will have more risks compared to investing, that is the reason I always prefer sticking with only investing like buying bitcoins and holding it for years. Surely it will get me more benefits than active traders earning in that period.

I will agree with this. I am currently trying to do the same so I can have more than what I am getting from my day job. You see it will not be enough once you make a family and it will be better to be ready in financial terms. There is one more good side, even if you lose your job there would be something you would fall and can somehow focus in your investment while looking for another job.
That's it for me. Better ready than sorry later.

Although op would have needed and used the advice he asked for but times have change since then and now which could equally be useful for someone else. We all know trading will be better because one cannot just lose everything at once compared to investment if it falls into the wrong hand but at the same time, trading itself is not all glowing as there is need for proper knowledge on which coin to trade and which one not to which is job on its own...

I do both, I think both are good for making money, this time I worked with a salary per month of about $ 1.200. of the salary was 50℅ for the cost of life and the rest I use for investment, trade, and gambling. investment that I choose is gold, stocks, and altcoin. investment gold and d for long term, while altcoin is an investment medium that is 1 year to 5 years.

Better to invest in double your bitcoins services because they all are legit and known to perform magic tricks, if you don't know which one is best then you might as well go ahead and listen to my advice.

Looks like not only fake volumes was a thing in %0 fees exchanges but also it's a big thing in %0.2 ones (coughyobitcough) where people perform mirror trading(trading with oneself) to lure a few newbies to buy their crap, that way they earn back the fees they've paid + dinner+beers+bigger asses for their girlfriends.
ICN(iconomi tokens) with a few others are exceptions though.

Bitcoin is GOD

That's right investment will work for you only if you invest at the right place and only if that particular investment performs better in future, but with trading you can make some really good profits on regular basis if you have done good home work before entering into it and its better to start with a small capital at initial stage to gain experience.

The issue here is knowing the right place to invest because without that playing gamble or putting money in HYIP or simply throwing it away will worth more. Like going to invest in one cloud mining site that will take forever to ROI. I would have gone for trading OP had a pre-requisite knowledge about trading at the same time be ready to engage in serious research and analysis or else one will not be better off than the previous position but for investing I would suggest crowdfunding or bankrolling in some reputable site and by that, one is sure of some returns at the end of a particular period of time.

No one can predict which is the right place to invest or whether it is genuine or a scam as many people have lost their money in hyips and ponzis in the past so if you prefer to take risk then you can go for it if you are lucky you will make good profits out of it but its always better to play safe and invest in casino sites that have good reputation and running since long time.
That is the nature of investments, everyone even the rich people keep looking for that perfect investment that always gives earnings, but it is very rare or simply it does not exists that is why you must always be watchful of where you put your money so you maximize your earnings.

I think you should trade it in a trading site. Like in c-cex or Poloniex trading site, since bitcoin became stable in this previous weeks, it's good to trade it all. In trading, it's better to put ur btc in a low volume and old coin so that, you can buy it cheap.(choose coin whose graph don't fall continuously, it may be removed from trading site so choose a popular crypto coin). Once the bitcoin goes down, then the value of your coin will rise, that is the best time to sell your coins, and will give you a sure profit. However the don't is, if bitcoin's rate don't goes down, don't panic sell your coin, so that there is no lose of your money


Trading altcoins is a good way to earn more btc. Though it can take some weeks or months to earn profit from it. There are altcoins that are really worth it to trade these days. Like ICN, eth, and more. You just need to analyze the graph when it is the right time to buy then you can sell it for a higher price. Don't trade or buy those scam coins out there whose only a pump and dump scheme.

BTC price road to $80k

In an investment, you just invest your savings and just remain idle. Either the price of asset you have invested can increase or decrease.But in trading, you have plenty of options. You could switch yor investment immediately and can gain profits. But trading involves huge risk.You should only invest the amount which you can afford to loose.Better invest small amount in trading initially.After gaining experience, you can invest more in trading.
I don't agree with you bro my opinion is trading is not risky its less risky why those people said trading is risky? Because one of the reason its newbie, those people failed Bcause don't make a research before buying an altcoin so the result they quit trading. Trading is good its gives to you profit but you need to learn first how to handle it. I don't like investment /ponzi/ hyip because all of these are scam . maybe invest to gambling and ICO.

trading is risky and that risk makes it profitable, if it wasn't risky it would be like a simple investment that you get a very tiny profit every week and be safe.
but the thing to know about trading is that the risks are manageable and you can actually control and reduce them to a better level. for example with buying at the bottom instead of on the rise, with studying the thing you are investing in, and many other factors. and it all needs experience.
I think it is depends in you if where you are actually getting profit except for ponzi sites.. there is some investment that actually making huge earnings like people who are affiliate marketers and doing PPC bing ads and adwords like i am doing i am investing my bitcoins just to buy for a method that actually a secret mining gold for me.. that i can advertise free in adwords and bing ads using the offer that i get from different CPA networks i use my bitcoi nto buy domains and hosting which is unlimited domain and hosting and you can create unlimited landing page and different offer..
And make multiple accounts with bing and adswords and use the coupon that you can get from google or other deep web offers bing coupon and adwords for cents like fatcow..
but if you are earnings in trading you can stay in trading it is also i think can earn huge amount if you investing a large amount that we can consider too as investing..

Both are good depending on the resources and time  you have for research but for me investing is better because it fits my skill sets because i tend to over trade attimes

Surely both are good because it is just the same. Trading is a form of investing. And most of us does have this type of investment.

Because it is one of the legit way of earning with bitcoin and you just need to do the same with bitcoin, you'll just buy and sell.

And after buying those alt coins that you like, you just need to wait for them to increase and that's the time when you can get profit, from selling it.
On the surface investing and trading are very similar since both of them are just a way to try to raise the level of your capital, but they are different in the way and investment is a hands free approach to earn money since once you have invested in a business there is not a lot you can do, in trading you manage every single aspect of your strategy.
It is necessary to understand that when you are trading, you are buying part of the assets of a certain project. If that project grows, you will also grow as a result. So, trading is not very different from investing, I think the only difference is that in trading things happen more fluidly, and the market demands a faster reaction from the investor. In investing, if the project is not yet open for most markets, there are some uncertainties in the field. This adds risk, and, in the process of advancement, this investment will surely require more time and patience from the investor.
