I also have traded and invested, and I must say prefer investing over trading for many reasons, trading is time consuming, you spend a lot of time reading charts, analyzing markets, looking for coins with good entry price, all this are work that are capable of weighing the brain down, but investing, you just have to research the project and make sure it's a legit company and ones you have the fund available, you are good to go, investing also brings more money than trading, if you are lucky to invest in a very good coin set to explode, then you wil sitting in a large pool of money in no time.
So it's investing over trading for me.
