Title: Which are you doing? Investing or Trading
Post by: Best on March 02, 2024, 11:37:29 AM
As the market is super high everybody is showing off they know what they are doing. Hence, looking for clout that they will chop off their money for Signals. But in all sincerity, we all know that in this season, no one can ever go wrong because everything they do will be right...

As a good trader, do you keep on advancing your trading skills and Invest in coins that will do better or do you keep trading?

The reason I asked this is because I don't want to succumb to my thoughts on the noises I see on different platforms.  Maybe I might be thinking it wrongly because I think, this is the best time to invest yea, mostly in good projects

Do both things if possible but of course this is something that not anyone could be able to pull off because this would really be requiring such skills and experience on which this do talks a long time engagement or involvement in trading. We do know that this is something that cant really be that be able to handle or skill that could be acquired. We do know that investing is something that gives out that kind of opportunity that you could be able to make profits but somehow dont make yourself that being too confident because risks is really that still involved into it.
As much as possible you should really be learning up skills which it would be something that would be beneficial for long term.

I am doing both. I am investing on bitcoin from last one years. I already holding near about $2k Bitcoin. And Some Altcoin. I think Bitcoin will give me healthy profit. My average buying price near about $32000. Now i am near about 2x profited. And i want to hold it till 2025.

And i also trading Bitcoin and some altcoin. Now i believe bull session ruling so all cryptocurrency market are up. This market trading is risky but i am doing is very carefully. But i am trading for maintaining for my family.

I think before Bitcoin halving Bitcoin price will hit new ATH and touch $70k. Now bitcoin price is near about $62k. So if all were ok then it bitcoin price will go above $70k easily.

It's a balance, you know? Investing in solid projects for the long haul while also refining your trading skills for short-term gains. Can't ignore the noise, but gotta filter it too.   ;)

If you have knowledge then you can do both because investment does not require to look into price chart whole of day so invest some amount in top coin like Bitcoin and altcoins and also initiate trading at the same time but if you have knowledge about trading.

Beside bitcoin and Ethereum there are some altcoins which are ADA, Solana, Matic and many more so you can easily invest in these without investigation because these have proved that they can show better value in coming Bull season.

I stopped trading because it's time-consuming you have to be dedicated and always check the chart and of course, you need to be well-funded too, compared to investing you just need to check the fundamentals, check the potential of the coin, check who are the team behind the project if they are capable to complete the goal of the project, and the usability of the platform and how the community accepts the platform.
Trading is more profitable than just investing but if you have other business or you have an 8 to 5 jobs investing is the best option.

I do both of course, which is most of us here too. Although I don't trade that much, since i always do long term investment. Last time i day trade already months ago with no luck, so i just do trading when i feel like it. Invests little by little or stacking is a way of mine from my signature campaign payments weekly and look now, it's almost 100% increase since the time i started last year.

As a good trader, do you keep on advancing your trading skills and Invest in coins that will do better or do you keep trading?
I got your point and the situation you are in, and I don't invest in coins that will do better, on the basis of skills that I have advancing not. Because I am so lazy, but I don't want you to be one the same path, I want you to be on the path where you will be advancing your trading skills and finding new crypto assets to invest in.

So that you could make more money, there is no noise in it and you are good to go. And I can't agree more with you on the fact that the current situation of market is so bullish that in whatever coin you invest you make profit. Some makes you less profit while some makes you more. The choice of tokens decides the profit. And I am doing holding at the current moment as I don't have great trading skills and that's why I prefer investing at the current moment.

I prefer with trading and try to take profit as long possibility around few percent in daily day, but when floating position my trading decision become investing until return back to the higher price. I adapt well with my coins price position if can take profit in daily day is better to be trader and have to be holder or investor when my coins investment dropping price drastically. Right now more be careful when investing in some coins and prefer waiting for longer time with coins price really drop, I won't to be long term holding any more because less capital and other side must have income in daily day.
Trading is the best way for me but if you have much money by investing earn large profitable than your expected exactly how bitcoin and altcoin price pump currently.

Signals given by others are not always correct, signals usually lead to missteps and accidents. If you can perform market research and trading yourself then you will surely get benefit here. But if you have made 70% of the market based on signals given by others. So I say you build yourself up, you do market research as signals are appropriate. The more market research you do the better your knowledge will grow so perform trades to expand your knowledge.

Both, but  not for future trading market.
Because basically, trading is quite risky, so it is not done for future trading which in fact has very high risks. When trading on the spot market and not limited by numbers, then I think it's okay to do it very carefully. However, it will be much calmer if you just invest in top coins, not hype coins. Because hype coins are usually only when they are hyped, if they aren't then they will be quiet again. And we are used to this, especially if the coin backfires for us to lose our money immediately.

I will never stop trading because trading won't bother our investment. It even makes us more familiar with crypto coins and the trends. So, it helps us to choose the coins for investment, too. Because trading looks good during the bullish season, we can continue it. I see the coins easier in increasing, so we have better chance to get profits in the near future.

I am aware to have the investment, too. Although I'm trading coins, I also have investments. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana are the examples of some coins that I invest in them.

There is nothing wrong with doing both of them, its totally reasonable and I would expect everyone to be quite similar. I do invest heavily, but I do put some aside as trading money and that has always been like that. I believe that everyone has to be some type of trader, because learning how to be a trader is a job of its own. Doesn't mean that you will start as a great one, but to be fair nobody starts any job as being a great one. Imagine becoming some accountant, do you really think that you are going to be awesome at it day one? So be a trader, learn and that would make it a lot better for you in the end for sure.

Re: Which are you doing? Investing or Trading
If it's "Investing or Gambling", I will pick both of them since I tried gambling on some sports bet again. Between the 2 though, I'll go with investing alone.

I can't do both at the same time. I know that trading can be for everyone but not everyone can be profitable in trading, and I'm one of them, unfortunately. I don't know why, but I already realized that trading isn't for me. :( Anyway, I'm focusing more on investing because time is on my side, and I want to approach the volatile market in a semi-conservative way so I just invest into good projects and hold it until the time comes that I need to sell it for profit.

It worked for me in 2021, but I didn't sold all of my holdings at that time. Now I will not do the same mistake again. :)

Everyone tries to tell you that they know more about Bitcoin or that the prediction is correct, but once the price breaks the $68,000 barrier, no one can tell you what will happen next, as there is no historical data to support any direction for the price, and no real support or resistance points are formed, so the rise will be rapid. And continuing until it reaches $100,000 or even $150,000, and then the correction will be very close. Rely on your personal analysis, do not be greedy and remember that the price will not rise much above $150,000, and even if it does, a correction is the next option.

I have done investing as well as I have done trading and since I have enough knowledge and experience about both, I will clearly answer here that I am an investor as well as a trader. I have bitcoin investment in my long term plan as well as I try to trade daily with some amount of funds. I trade with whatever money I have left and try to make some profit every day. Even if I trade every day with the intention of making profit, I don't get profit every day, but some days I lose some amount of money, then I wait and if I wait, when the market recovers again, I can see that I have made profit again. We must have enough patience when trading crypto currency. When we have enough catch we will be successful in both trading and investing.

I remember in the first year 2021 that there are so many outside mentorship programs about trading, I wonder why so many are offering something like this. And I can't help but think that if they are really profitable in the system, why should they share it? Maybe they just want to help, honestly others really want to help but usually others want to take the money of the mentees. At that time, it was a bull market, so usually in their trade, as long as you go long, you will win. I only know this things now that I have been in crypto for a long time.

What I'm doing right now is I'm carrying myself with investments, I'm refraining from trading. The reason I refrain from trading in this pumping market is because when the market is dumping a lot from this pumping market, I will hurt myself a lot by trading with speculation. Maybe many people have made a lot of money trading this pumping market but to me it seems too risky I am not able to earn I invest moving forward because I don't want to take risk. At the moment there are not very good signals about the market. I don't want to take more risk if I don't have good signals about the market.

I am investing: I use cash to buy tokens and expect to receive profits from their price increase in the future. I am DCA BTC and waiting for BTC to reach $150K in 2025.

I'm also trading: I buy BTC every week. I will also sell BTC every week at the distributed price range in 2025.

I think investing means trading, because without trading we cannot buy or sell tokens. I think many people are misunderstanding concepts related to time, and you are asking: is someone an intra-day trader (opening and closing a position on the same day to get a good night's sleep) or a holder (holding assets for long term, more than 1 day). I am a holder and willing to hold BTC for 1-3 years  :D

I am only stacking up and holding. There is one idea that is running through my head, which is to use some of my holdings to start future trading when the price begins to pump again. I have observed this last price pump so well, and I would have made a huge profit if I had just put in some Bitcoin and entered the "buy long" position with 10X leverage. I will take advantage when the price starts to pump again. Trading is highly profitable in a volatile market, but the risk is also very high. While trading, it's also wise to invest and hold.

Yes, you are right that combining trading with investment is a smart way to still get a lot of profit, but what you need to pay attention to is the investment you make, as much as possible you have to invest in coins which have the opportunity to become very expensive as happened with Bitcoin.

Well, for me, I go with the two because we can use them both to make money. The only difference is that investing is likely to experience small losses and is less risky than trading, and investing can also be used for future purposes, whereas trading is not like that because it takes more risk in the hope of making quick profits, which causes a lot of losses, but having self control, self discipline, patience, and so on is all that really matters. With that, you will be able to handle both because they are both risky; no one is easy.

I'm not a good trader, but I always try to keep learning better to improve my trading skills.
So I do, both trading and investing.
But to reduce stress caused by rapidly changing market conditions, I only trade at the right time, not as a day trader.
Long-term investment is the way I like most. Buy the dip, hold, sell at the right time, and repeat...

Yes, I agree with what you are doing because when you use this method the profits look better with quite small risks. At least trading does have risks that you don't know when they might happen, therefore financial management must also be a very important consideration because it doesn't matter. forever trading always provides profits.

But dont make yourself that too optimistic all the times because we do know that trading isnt something a skill that you could really be able to know such thing in a short time period and
something that could really be easy. This is why there are people who do dive in into trading on which having these kind of thoughts but on the time that they've done it then
this is where they would really be able to taste up that bittersweet experience due to those losing and profitable kind of condition that they would really be facing.
It is really just that a matter of choice whether you could really be able to bare up with the risks or not.

I believe it depends on the understanding of a person and how much knowledge they have. Someone who doesn't have enough knowledge about the market and cryptocurrencies will barely be able to trade and such people should only make investments in the most trusted cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.

However, if one thinks that they can trade because they understand the market and all trading practices and techniques very well, they can do both trading and investing, one for short term and one for the long term.

It all depends on your personal goal which you prefer and what's best for you. While trading is a more short term strategy, investing involved buying assets and hold for s long term , with the hope that it will increase in value overtime. Trading involve the buying and selling if asset, crypto currency in short period of time, with the goal of making a quick profit.

Yeah, I did just that and also I joined some events that could less to earning more from the bull run. You know I always thought trading in thus bull run is always risky but it is at this moment I realised many events happens just. The current one I'm doing now is the Bull market trade. Let's see how it goes

My short-term trading skills were very bad, it made me give up and avoid several strategies as shown in the technical analysis material. Sometimes patterns form according to the image, but future predictions are not necessarily as shown in the image. It's all because of market manipulation and also sudden changes in some coins.

For now, I myself prefer to hold for the long term, because it keeps me away from emotions that are still less stable when I see quite significant price movements. Even now, it has been proven that I am still making a profit from this long-term holding activity, which makes me even more confident about holding for a longer term.

This is like what I did, because I was not precise in analyzing the market for the short term, less accurate. Maybe I'm more suited to being a holder than a trader. I will try it again at the weekend to gain experience and knowledge in trading

Do you have what it takes to be a trader? Trading is energy consuming and time demanding, do you have this to give for trading? If yes, then I will advice you to head over to YouTube and learn trading, with 1 month with visual tutorials you should be able to understand trading basics if you are dedicated and serious about it.

You need to select good projects that has potential of going up if it's a new project and if it were to be be old project, then it should be a project that has a lot of potential for recovery with fundamentals news behind that project and you will be fine.

I will always keep learning about trading besides I invest in come coins. I think it will be to trade and invest together, we will get the chance to get higher profits. We also can get the profits faster if we are trading them. But if we are only holding the coins, we may get the profits after few months or years. This sometimes takes a too long time for certain people.

I understand your point. I also think instead trading this coins that has potential, isn't it best tp trade those hype coins especially the memes because when ever the hype comes in, what's happen next is up movement. That's the trick I use in most of the meme token I trade on bitget, FLOKI, PEPE etc..

Yes! I also realise that it's easy to get quick gains in trading especially when the token keeps getting hyped up. Just like the meme tokens I had a test run and  I told the previous person as well. I have gotten quite a good number of profit and also a few drops from meme token events I have participated in personally

So that's the difference, when we trade we have the opportunity to make a quick profit, but it's worth the risk. However, when we invest, it takes months or even years to make a profit.

Doing both is a good thing, but we also have to do it according to our abilities. If we don't know enough to trade then keep learning, don't force yourself just because you want to make a quick profit. Because in trading the risks are much greater.

Investment will still provide a very high risk because so far in the world, whatever you do, everything has a very high risk. Trading is divided into 2 types, short-term trading and long-term trading. Meanwhile, for investment, always do research first and do it. As you said, investments are usually made by holding assets for more than 10 years.

As the market is super high everybody is showing off they know what they are doing. Hence, looking for clout that they will chop off their money for Signals. But in all sincerity, we all know that in this season, no one can ever go wrong because everything they do will be right...

As a good trader, do you keep on advancing your trading skills and Invest in coins that will do better or do you keep trading?

The reason I asked this is because I don't want to succumb to my thoughts on the noises I see on different platforms.  Maybe I might be thinking it wrongly because I think, this is the best time to invest yea, mostly in good projects

There is two different things but doing both is not bad. You can decide to trade or invest which ever way is best for you. Well trading requires time and effective skills of you understanding the market analysis and price. You must have make your research before proceeding same goes with both trading and investing.
Investment on the other hand, required you to be more updated and currently following the market analysis before starting and achieving their goals.

I'm not a good trader, but I always try to keep learning better to improve my trading skills.
So I do, both trading and investing.
But to reduce stress caused by rapidly changing market conditions, I only trade at the right time, not as a day trader.
Long-term investment is the way I like most. Buy the dip, hold, sell at the right time, and repeat...
No one is perfect in trading, you have to perfect yourself over time. I am not so perfect trader like you but I do day trading and enter the market when the time is right and when it is time to sell the market I sell but I don't hold the token for long time for extra profit. But I try to invest in the best altcoins by coin market cap and I'm not interested in long term investment. Investing for a short period of time and selling it in the market after getting a little profit is also called a type of trading.

If I'm different, I'm more focused on surviving for a long period of time, trading just to fill my free time. Because there are so many busy lives in the real world, we have to take advantage of our free time to trade. there are many things we can do in the crypto world.

It is great that you are actively trading every day and working hard to get better at it. And you are right no one is perfect at trading and getting experience and learning over time are important to improve your strategies. Your way of entering market at right time and selling when there a chance shows that you are disciplined and understand how market works. Some traders focus on making quick profits by trading daily and investing in popular altcoins. But it is important to remember risks involved in short term trading like sudden changes in prices. Day trading can bring fast money but it also needs a lot of time effort and skill to be successful.

Totally depends on the time that you are available because we do know that there are certain individuals who are really that having some dayjob on which they cant really be able to
do some trading but actually there are really those trading ways or methods on which you could be able to handle up yourself like on swing trading on which you wont really be needing
on having full time or simply making trading as your side income but well just like we do all know that this isnt a skill that you could really be able to learn up on a short period of time
on which it would really be needing up that long time and tons of trial and error along the way.

I am doing both. I am investing on bitcoin from last one years. I already holding near about $2k Bitcoin. And Some Altcoin. I think Bitcoin will give me healthy profit. My average buying price near about $32000. Now i am near about 2x profited. And i want to hold it till 2025.

And i also trading Bitcoin and some altcoin. Now i believe bull session ruling so all cryptocurrency market are up. This market trading is risky but i am doing is very carefully. But i am trading for maintaining for my family.

I think before Bitcoin halving Bitcoin price will hit new ATH and touch $70k. Now bitcoin price is near about $62k. So if all were ok then it bitcoin price will go above $70k easily.

If you have at least 0.1btc or more yes you are already in profit, where anytime you can exit now if you want. But if your holding is below 0.1btc, I don't think it's time for you to exit, even though there is profit, but not enough if it's a dream based on my opinion.

So those who have holdings of 1 or more bitcoins who bought around 30k$ each are really profiting where they can be able to buy new house and lot no matter what, then you just hold it you did nothing just in your wallet account but it increased the value.

So that's the difference, when we trade we have the opportunity to make a quick profit, but it's worth the risk. However, when we invest, it takes months or even years to make a profit.

Doing both is a good thing, but we also have to do it according to our abilities. If we don't know enough to trade then keep learning, don't force yourself just because you want to make a quick profit. Because in trading the risks are much greater.

Of course everything has risks and nothing is without risks, especially when it comes to money and profits, so there will always be risks. And what I mean here is that it is better to take lower risks if we are not really prepared to lose money.

Investing in bitcoin is the safest investment in my opinion, and we can do that. And it's true that we have to do in-depth research before making a decision, and make sure the decision is a ready decision, and we also have to plan as best as possible.

I have been both investing and trading in cryptocurrencies for as long as I have been involved. But I have always done more trading even though it is risky and most of the time lose money. But investment is not risky it has the possibility of profit and you can expect good thing anytime from investment. But when you go for trading the fear of losing your money will always work so you have to trade with experience or you will face losses. But I will advise you to compare trading and invest in Bitcoin it is most profitable and you will be risk free.

At first I normally runs both, but recently i'm focusing mainly In investing (which is holding). You can see the recent growth market as undergo in the past months,  so those of us that have been holding till now would definitely be in good profit, depending on the quantity you are holding. So those that are trading recently, may be thinking of making some short-term profit, using the up and down movement, and such act is not a smart, because recently market volatility has increased and some traders emotions are put to test , so those that can't fight FOMO may endup jumping into market , the wrong time and they may likely endup getting theirselves losing alot of funds in the process ( expecially those who are using leverages) in order to make more in their Trading.

Trading is a rollercoaster of emotions, so a trader needs to have a lot of control over their emotions when they enter the market so that they don't get flowed away by things such as FOMO or other market conditions, and a trader needs to have enough knowledge and understand about the market before they start day trading to earn profits for the short term.

I never recommend futures trading in such market conditions because anything can happen, and if a trader doesn't have a lot of market experience and understanding about how certain cryptocurrencies move, they will risk their capital with leverage trading.

you are right, the downfall of most traders is having the mindset, of trading being a get rich quick scheme, which may lead them trading recklessly to get to that state real quick and trading is something that should be taken step by step, by gathering more proper knowledge about it. And one need to reduced the rate of making losses than to increase the rate of making high profit with greater losses, that where risk management comes in .

To be honest Trading one of the best way to earn in this space but is still one of the riskiest way to earn, without no proper plan or skills. While holding on the other hand don't need any technical knowledge for one to engage with it , only depend on one financial capability.

Investing and trading are almost the same and what makes the difference in my opinion is the time spent. Trading means you spend quite a lot of time monitoring the exchange, but for investment you don't need to monitor the exchange too much because you can make long-term investments.
Sure, the time to use in trading is more than investing. If we are trading, we need time to analyze the market and check the update information. When we are trading, we target to get fast profits sometimes. That makes to more often check the price change in the market. We need many times to monitor everything. But if we are investing, we only need to monitor the price change ourselves whenever we want.

Both can bring benefits, it depends on our respective experience and knowledge. Also do we have time to trade? because as you said, trading requires analyzing and connecting the market many times, it takes time. If we are busy we certainly can't do it.

Doing trading is certainly not easy because when you enter the price doesn't necessarily go up straight away because sometimes when you enter a few minutes later the price starts to fall, what is clear is that coin price movements on exchanges can never be predicted accurately, it's best to implement long-term trading to get more profits and of course the assets will remain safe even though the asset value sometimes changes due to price movements on the exchange.

What you said is right; actually, for me, we can't choose between those two because they are equally helpful in providing benefits to all of us. Even if we say we don't know anything about trading yet, we can invest first while learning trading.

Now, as for trading, if we know that we know something about this matter, we can also do the trading activity at the same time as the investment to be made in the crypto business.

But between the two strategies there will definitely be one that is better and that will be the best choice. I myself continue to prioritize holding until I reach my target of a certain number. If the BTC price does not touch the target price by the end of this year, then I change it to a target time. I am also a human who could have missed the best moment to sell BTC.

The point is, I'm not very good at day trading. That brought me many defeats in the past.

First of all I want to say that I am not a professional trader or a good trader as you said. But I want to say one basic thing that if you know less about trading you can't do like analysis, fundamental knowledge or technical analysis knowledge both you lack. Then I would say doing Trading i.e. Short term trading will be not a good idea for you. If you do not have knowledge about technical analysis or fundamental analysis, trading will be like gambling for you. If you don't have such skill, it is better not to go to trading.
Now lets come to your question, as I said I am also not a good trader so what I am doing is holding bitcoin for long-term. Like make a স্ট্রেটেজি with DCA method then start investing on bitcoin for long-term what you can afford it can be 10$ per month or 40$ or 100$ what you can afford. Currently, I am doing this I am adopting Bitcoin $40 per month.

Yeah, I don't know about any other person though, or what other people think, but for me, I do believe that this is the best time to invest in really good projects, though doing one or two trades on daily basis for some side profit won't hurt, but then, the major focus should be on investing, because investing will always be more profitable than trading.

I remember back in 2017 when I was actively trading while we were in a bull run, I bought I sold different coins for small profits, I was happy cus I thought I was doing really well, but at the peak and end of the bull run, I discovered I could no longer afford to buy in the same quantity; all the coins I bought and sold for pennies, because they have become way too expensive and all my capital and profit I made from trading them can no longer buy me as much as  I used to buy, this was when I learnt that investing and holding, is more profitable than investing, most especially in a bull season like we are about to enter.

Some people have the courage but they don't have the time to do it most especially the trading aspect. If you want to make consistent profits in trading, you must have the time to search through the crypto market and look for the perfect coin that you know it's good enough for trading and probably has news on the way that can always help you pump the price of your trade, you also need to understand the technical aspect.

You can have the money to trade but the time might not even be there to execute it, you didn't talk of the time to learn and understand the trading if you are new person. This is where investing comes in; buy your favorite coins and keep them for a while and sell them when you know that the profits are good enough for you to sell them.

What I mainly do is invest, because before I buy a financial asset I learn about it and I buy it for its properties, not because I think it will go up or down in the next few months. If I end up buying it is because I believe that the long-term trend will be upwards but short term swings do not matter to me. In the case of bitcoin , however, with the expected price increase I plan to make some sales, or trades if you prefer.

With long-term trading as your choice, it is a very smart choice. The profits you get can be very maximum and I would suggest you buy Bitcoin and save it for the next 20 years, and see the results, what percentage of profit you will get.

I started as a daily trader, my first trade was great (guess beginners luck). I was actually a Spot trader then and was actually making some good profit from it till I became more greedy , wanted to make more so I decided to go into future trading with half-size knowledge ( that was one of the great mistakes I made back then) . As usual first trade was nice , but as time goes on I became one with liquidation, due to poor using of leverages that always trigger my liquidation so early ( what greed can lead to). After countless losses decided to stop , I put my trading to hold even till now I haven't gotten that zeal to trade, But still gathering some knowledge about trading.

But now am more into holding, all I just have to do is take my time make some research, ones I see what holding I will just buy and hold in my noncustodial wallet. Like now am holding Bitcoin with some other coins, and lately that are all doing great , that anytime I check my portfolio it always put smile on my face.

Investing is relatively easy as compared to trading and to invest we don't need to monitor the market much or analyze the market charts every day but in the case of trading we definitely need to analyze the market with charts. Investors who feel they don't have enough time find it right for them to invest instead of trading. However, trading becomes much easier for those who invest, if there is enough time, the investor tries to trade as well as invest. In order to trade along with investing, we must have enough money and we must have enough time, only then we can continue trading along with investing.

Trading is different and way more difficult because one is required to do a lot of research and analysis about the market and the cryptocurrencies they are willing to trade so that they don't make bad trades and waste their money. It's pretty challenging but it's rewarding as well.

Trading can be risky, but if you know how to control the risks and how to reduce the risks or manage them properly, you can earn a lot of profit from it. They say that a short-term trader earns more profit than a long-term holder because trading is quick and you can make a trade in a matter of minutes or maybe hours and earn maybe 5% to 10% profit whereas for long-term, you might have to wait for years to finally get 3x or something of your initial investment.

Trading indeed complicated and something that you would really be needing up that proper learning of those skills before you would really be finding yourself that effective into this market.
Somehow not all people would really be having the patience on holding up for long term and this is why they would really be opting for them to deal up with trading.
Yes, its hard but doesnt mean that it would be something that will really be that impossible. It all matters on how someone would really be able to have that kind of risks management
and on how they would really be tending to deal up with things on which we know that this is something that wont be easy.

If you want to a long term holding, you need to choose investment. Trading is for people who wants to get profits in a short time. If you don't hurry to take profits and you don't want to be busy to learn the market daily, you are better to have investment. Investment doesn't require to check the market daily, we also don't need to analyze the price charts too often.

However, I don't think we should invest in 20 years. It is too long time, it is better to invest in 4-8 years. It means we invest in 2 cycles of bullish season.

With long-term trading as your choice, it is a very smart choice. The profits you get can be very maximum and I would suggest you buy Bitcoin and save it for the next 20 years, and see the results, what percentage of profit you will get.
If you want to a long term holding, you need to choose investment. Trading is for people who wants to get profits in a short time. If you don't hurry to take profits and you don't want to be busy to learn the market daily, you are better to have investment. Investment doesn't require to check the market daily, we also don't need to analyze the price charts too often.

If we invest for the long term, we should invest for 3-4 years, that's a 4 year cycle. Buy when it is bearish and hold until the next bull run. This is done for those who are too busy in the real world and have free money. but if we have trading skills, we can do daily trading too.

Why can't you do both? I'm definitely doing that. Trading helps you advance your skills definitely and well investment is a long-term game, especially with Bitcoin (check r100k if you're waiting for it to hit 100k!)

Trading has its ups, especially in the current bull run. You should definitely hone your skills and learn to study the market more closely, but never lose sight of a good, long-term investment or even coins that offer great short-term gains through timely investments.

Yes, we can do both, trade and become investors. Trading requires experience, it will take a long process to learn. Meanwhile, as a holding, we buy when it is bearish and hold for the long term, this is simpler. but we have to learn both.

What I mainly do is invest, because before I buy a financial asset I learn about it and I buy it for its properties, not because I think it will go up or down in the next few months. If I end up buying it is because I believe that the long-term trend will be upwards but short term swings do not matter to me. In the case of bitcoin , however, with the expected price increase I plan to make some sales, or trades if you prefer.
With long-term trading as your choice, it is a very smart choice. The profits you get can be very maximum and I would suggest you buy Bitcoin and save it for the next 20 years, and see the results, what percentage of profit you will get.

      -     For me, I do the same thing because I can't do trading activity if I don't invest in crypto. Right? and when I have bought crypto, it depends on me whether I will hold half of what I bought long-term and the remaining half I will trade.

That's the way I've been doing it for a long time, where I get small earnings daily while I have a hold for long-term; in short, we can do them at the same time.

It depends on how we termed it and the way we are doing it, that differentiate them from each other, trading is going shorts in most cases while investment is going long, but at the end, we can conclude that every form of investment either Short or long is to make profits, then we may have to choose in between the one that we feels is the best for us and engage in it, after which we would have understand the risk in it a d how to avoid such.

Have been trying my best to see how I can suit in for the both, but I think is very hard to compared with rather I chose making investment and let it gradually gives me what I want for long term projection than doing trading. Since it requires lots of technicalities and staying up-to-date with coin/token we are trading on.
Although I understand that who are that professional can actually handle/combined the two things, but its very stressful most one can't find to study around here as well. So, definitely one must leave one for another.

Trading is different and way more difficult because one is required to do a lot of research and analysis about the market and the cryptocurrencies they are willing to trade so that they don't make bad trades and waste their money. It's pretty challenging but it's rewarding as well.
Trading is not rewarding for everyone. Some people will trade and continue to lose. As gambling is worse for some people also trading is not that different. Trading risk is very high and can be highly dangerous to someone's financial life.

Trading can be risky, but if you know how to control the risks and how to reduce the risks or manage them properly, you can earn a lot of profit from it. They say that a short-term trader earns more profit than a long-term holder because trading is quick and you can make a trade in a matter of minutes or maybe hours and earn maybe 5% to 10% profit whereas for long-term, you might have to wait for years to finally get 3x or something of your initial investment.
Do not believe that. Holding is like passive income and not as risky as trading. Holders will not regret that they are not a trader but some traders are regretting that they supposed not to have been trading but holding instead. Some people make money from trading but not as many as those that make money from holding.

Meanwhile, in trading we are required to always monitor the market because every movement will have a big impact on our money. It requires more concentration than investing. And we can do that simultaneously, investing and trading.

Investing would really be just that depending into your own risks appetite on which we know that not all would really be having on the same risk taking when it comes to things on which we know that there are ones who are really that fond off on making investment or further step just because they dont really have the patience on holding up for too long when it comes to Bitcoin investment on which this is why they have decided on dealing up with some altcoins in the market. Actually you could really be able to do both things on which investing and trading at the same time. As long your time and funds do really permits you on doing so then i dont see anything wrong with it. You do rather put up on chances on having that earning in multiple sources
but of course you would really be needing to put up some risks further more.

The real benefit of Bitcoin lies in investing over a longer period of time not for shorter duration like few weeks or months. You are right in saying that traders have to bear the hassle of looking at market 24/7 while if you are long term investor then all you need to right time to invest and then HODL. Bitcoin takes are huge price swing every year or two and if you have invested at right price then you are all set to catch the bigger piece of the cake.

Yes, of course investing in Bitcoin takes a long time, not just a few weeks or months, it takes us years to get big profits. That's why when we invest we are required to use money that we have prepared to invest.

In fact, I think bitcoin investors already know this, that it takes a long time for them to make a profit and we can also see now that those who have been patient by holding bitcoin when the price fell some time ago, they have already made a profit. now.

I think you are familiar with trading that's why you are considering trading as beneficial than investment and also one should choose that technology through which he can earn profit easily and he has command on it. Investment is not a bad thing but its up to a person that is he expert in trading or investment. Investment is free from risk but some people Don't want to wait therefore they often choose trading if they have knowledge about it.

If you have knowledge and know about the strategies and also have information about stop loss then trading is better option for you. One should not copy others but do that thing in which he is genius and can utilize his talent for success.

Becoming an investor or trader is our choice and is adjusted to our capacity, especially our capital. Most people with small capital have short and medium term holders and also do daily trading. For those who have free money, they can hold it for the long term.

Profit and loss are interrelated and you have to accept that if you want to make a profit by trading, there will definitely be a loss. A trader can make profit by trading if he has enough patience. The reason behind most of the traders trading unsuccessfully is that they are not patient and they trade thinking that they are trading and will make a lot of money in a short period of time. Profit is not so easy, if there is something wrong in observing the chart of the market, then some amount of money can be temporarily lost from our capital and if we cannot accept that temporary loss, then how can we reach the profit from that loss. We will make profit by trading and that profit must be in short cut way if we have such thinking then we have to change such thinking because you can never make profit by trading in short cut way.

Dealing up on Altcoins I really don't bother myself going to dexccreener at what most people do to get the trending coin. I literally wait for exchange listings and trade there. But that doesn't mean I trade all coins listed, I trade the ones I have done my personal research on. At least as of last month, the memes that bitget listed gave me good returns..

So, you see what just happened? They already help in filtering coins I can trade, so all I need to do is do research on the ones and invest. It saves time and I think that is what most people do in other cex. Doing same with all coins not just meme.. Look at Wormhole, ENA and others!!

If we wait until the token enters a large exchange then you will be left behind to buy tokens at a cheap price, many project developers do not provide information at the beginning of development to enter the large market, so at least it is better to look for deeper information at the start , as long as you can still buy tokens at a cheap price then buy as many as you can.

Why don't they provide enough information at the beginning? I would never recommend a project that isn't completely transparent about its roadmap and future developments to make people buy their token before it gets listed in an exchange or a major exchange. They are supposed to earn their investors by showing what they have got and not by making them confused or by fake promises.

I don't think one should make investments in projects that aren't listed by good exchanges or the team isn't sharing anything about such listings because they are basically manipulating their investors and keeping secrets from them which isn't what a genuine project would do.

I am doing both. I am investing on bitcoin from last one years. I already holding near about $2k Bitcoin. And Some Altcoin. I think Bitcoin will give me healthy profit. My average buying price near about $32000. Now i am near about 2x profited. And i want to hold it till 2025.

And i also trading Bitcoin and some altcoin. Now i believe bull session ruling so all cryptocurrency market are up. This market trading is risky but i am doing is very carefully. But i am trading for maintaining for my family.

I think before Bitcoin halving Bitcoin price will hit new ATH and touch $70k. Now bitcoin price is near about $62k. So if all were ok then it bitcoin price will go above $70k easily.

Investing long term on BTC and other major altcoins with very good mcap is the best strategy however having separate funds for trading to cater for daily needs is very essential if one doesn't have a daily job that put food on the table. Although it depends on the type of trading you opt for, either futures or spot but spot trading only brings profit on this kind of market hence futures trading is more sustainable on the long run but carries higher risk. Personally I have made decent amount on trading in the last few months by copying pro traders on Bitget while maintaining my investment. This is another way to earn daily if one isn't good with trading.

We just need to go by what we are good at, we don't have to follow the crowd or what other people are saying, it may work perfectly for them but reverse may be the case in our own situation, we need to examine ourselves in knowing what's best for us, we must not take any offer from what people are giving us, we need to seek for the true and genuine insight on trading and it will be left on us to decide whether we are trading or going for long time investment.
I agree with this, we should look at the limits of our abilities before doing something, and if we feel we are not enough to do it then we can learn first and do it slowly.

If we compete with what other people are doing then maybe it will put pressure on us. I mean make it a motivation, but don't rush into doing it because everything requires a process.

If we rush too much, it's not good for us, because maybe we will experience things we don't want.

Ignorance is the main reason behind anything. The more knowledge one acquires, the more one will know and benefit from it. An investor can invest if he feels he is competent. If someone knows well about trading then he can trade and if someone does not have enough knowledge then there is a possibility of big loss if he trades. In the case of trading, a trader has to acquire various types of knowledge, on the other hand, if a holder has minimum knowledge, he can earn good profit by holding. I do both holding and trading in my own case.

Pardon my inquisitiveness, but ain't holding also to be known as investing?
I don't want to create a confusion, but a trader can do both HODLing,  trading and any other investment like ETFs if the funds are available.


For now trading full time isn't a viable option and if not occasionally, it is just to remain versed and updated with new developments on exchanges, and HoDL as well as diversify  portfolio and transact. Am more inclined to try out Arbitrage trading sometime soonest just to see if I can keep up and master a strategy of my own.

          -    Yes, that's right; it doesn't matter if it's slow, as long as the important thing is that we learn what we study in the thing we want to learn. Especially when we enter crypto trading, it cannot be ignored or studied.

And when it is studied, it should also be accompanied by passion, willingness, patience, and determination so that the time we give to the study we will do in the field of the crypto industry will not be wasted.

Even though it's slow, I prefer to say that it means we are careful about something, walking slowly to achieve the goal is no problem rather than rushing but we find difficulties in front of us.

You are right, determination and a strong will are something that is needed, because with determination we will be full of enthusiasm and we will face everything that makes us difficult. Because I believe that every time there is difficulty, there will definitely be ease ahead that we will experience.

It's true, our journey in life will be like that when we experience difficulties, we will definitely find a sense of ease, but we have to keep trying to keep fighting to get what we want, because everything requires a process that must be gone through.

All the processes that each person experiences will definitely be different, perhaps the economic conditions are also very different, so if faced with a choice, I prefer long-term investments rather than having to make very short trades.

If I do both, long-term investment with potential holding coins such as bitcoin, ethereum, solanan and BNB. And I also trade to make a profit every day, although we can't always make a daily profit, sometimes we also lose. but the total profit and loss in one week is greater than the profit

Everyday is not a good day so sometimes you will hear good news and sometimes the condition will be totally changed but remember that a good time needs sacrifices. When we continuously work hard and don't give up then a time will come when we will possess everything for which we saw a dream.

Some people will win continuously but don't be disappointed by examining their status because every person find things which they deserve so may be you deserve better than this therefore don't forget that better things needs more time.

Long term investment is good in terms that it give you more time to make accurate decisions but in trading you will loss more and also trading will make you mentally unstable if you Loss more and win nothing.

As the market is super high everybody is showing off they know what they are doing. Hence, looking for clout that they will chop off their money for Signals. But in all sincerity, we all know that in this season, no one can ever go wrong because everything they do will be right...

As a good trader, do you keep on advancing your trading skills and Invest in coins that will do better or do you keep trading?

The reason I asked this is because I don't want to succumb to my thoughts on the noises I see on different platforms.  Maybe I might be thinking it wrongly because I think, this is the best time to invest yea, mostly in good projects
The reason I quoted the op even when the conversation has spanned to larger number of pages is because I want the op to get my message in case they are using telegram notification. The debate between investing and trading will continue to grow in as much as the cryptocurrency market is concerned. Answering your question, I am investing and not trading. However I do wish that I am a professional trader because those guys make more money than investors. Someone may argue this but it is the truth. Investing for long-term purpose might not need any special skill, but daytime trading needs an intensive special skill. Assuming I know how to trade, I would just invest and forget about my investment for a very long time and still be making money from day trading which is a double win. What do I mean in essence, an experience day trader could also be investing but an investor who does not know how to trade will make no money from day trading.

When you have a lot of time to look at exchanges and trade, you should still be careful when buying coins. I agree if you only focus on the four coins of your choice which are enough to guarantee you will always make a profit. If market conditions are busy, the trading volume of Bitcoin increases, then all the coins you own will have the opportunity to make a lot of profit. We just need to be smart in managing all the capital we use to keep making a profit and never get trapped in high prices because that will make us depressed.

I'm investing and trading. I can't do without both I think. Although, I prefer to invest in low cap coins only and focus on trading high cap coins.
I most pair most of my altcoins with Bitcoin using Bitget smart portfolio to automatically take profit from them and buy Bitcoin incase they pump against it. This is because I feel like Bitcoin is more stable.

The coins I mentioned above have proven that the kpij coins remain viable and are always a priority in investing. We can hold and when the market improves we can also trade. bitcoin, ethereum, solanan and BNB are coins that are very popular and have a larger community than other coins

Why would really be needing up to choose one if we can have both? Of course majority will really be going into this kind of selection on which we know that we do have those coins that
are being holded on which this is something that you would really be needing up or simply this is a form of investment. It did really just turns out that it wasnt something that you could really
be able to handle it out on the time that both things will really turns go south. You would really be needing up to consider higher risks level or factors on both things but since you have chosen
this path then its impossible that you arent prepared for whatever the things that you would really be going into.

These type of periods are mostly investment periods for me. While I do trade normally, and trade as much as I possibly could, during these periods I do end up looking into investment a lot more. Its the "after halving before bull" period, and usually that takes about a few months, I am guessing that summer will be volatile and it will go up and down again, but after that I am guessing that it could be a little different. I am sensing that we are going to see a huge huge increase after that, so I am going to accumulate as much as I can, not that I can accumulate much, but whatever I can afford to.

If a person thinks he can trade well in addition to investing then both are fine for him. What we know about investing is that investing doesn't need to spend extra time but trading definitely needs to spend extra time behind the market so if a user doesn't have enough time then investing is the right decision for him. But if an investor has enough time and enough financial support then he can manage his trading along with investing there shouldn't be any problem.

Most people probably follow a similar pattern where they trade when there are normal market conditions, and they invest when they know the time is right for that as the bull run is just around the corner and the prices of almost all cryptocurrencies will go up very soon which makes it reasonable for someone to buy and hold their favorite cryptocurrencies so that they can get higher profits out of this period.

A lot of people would do both at the same time, mostly traders, because they know both can be useful. Trading can be very profitable in times when the market is going very positive, so those who can afford it should make some investments and do trading as well to maximize the returns.

I am doing both trading and investing. If you want to become successful in both methods, you should have an excellent knowledge. It is not a simple thing. You should increase your skills and knowledge about that before trying to invest and trade, because it is like a risk-taking situation, you will rely on your predictions if you are going to earn from it. The thing in investing and trading is, it is so impossible for you to lose from it if you know the situation of the current market.

You can actually do both if you do have the money and have the time that you could really be able to apply on because you would really be needing up that kind of dealing on which you would
be having that kind of good partitioning of your time because not all would really be having that sufficient time and finances on supporting the career that you would really be taking the path on.
Investing is hard since choices wont really be that something that will really be easy and same goes with trading which does need up time and proper planning or engagement on which
this is something that you wont really be trying to skip out.

Anyone can trade and invest in same time it true But here are some things that depends on how much trading skill one has and how well one can do market research one should decide whether to trade or not. I always want to be relaxed but trading makes everyone nervous because in trading you have to buy and sell a coin at the right time and you always need to monitor the market. However, market monitoring is not always required for investment, so one can be very relaxed in this regard.  Because of this I am always more interested in investment.

Maybe that depends on what a trader, dude, or situation wants or feels. Just like in these instances, I think now that the halving has just finished, it is good to do now to gradually accumulate the coins that we want to accumulate for the bull run.

Because this is also a few months and we don't know how many months before there will be a rally in bitcoin, so as long as it's early, let's do what we can to dca the crypto assets that are also in the top market listing anyway.
