Two Paths to Financial Growth: Trading vs Investing

[bitmover]

That is to say that investors that just buy assets like Bitcoin and wait for a long period are most likely to make real money and with fewer risks, so sure trading can be advised they be a fast means to make much money, but note also that trading comes with a lot of risks and that is why holding and waiting is to best option considering the level of low risks that come with holdings.

So generally investors already know the prone and corns in all the aspects of making money from their investments and also are very aware of the risks that are associated with all those options.

Yeah, in really doubt investors would make 50-100x by trading, while from 2017-2025 bitcoin investors had that gains by just holding.

This is also true for other markets, such as tesla and Nvidia stocks. The profits were even higher depending on the range you look at. Just by holding

Every good investor says something like this:



You can try trading, but the real money is in waiting

Yeah, I think this saying goes perfectly well especially for the investors that will take a critical look into it. Big money is actually in the hand of the waiting, that is, exactly being patient as an investors/holders. Those who has the capacity to wait will always be rewarded at lon run. For example, those who invested on Bitcoin in 2019, and still holding knows exactly how the crypto market work and the importance of being patience.
In a nutshell, patience remains the key to a successful investment journey.

       -      That's why many of us here always invest in long-term investments, because most people know that if you are patient, you are sure to have good results from what you do while waiting for the bitcoins or cryptocurrencies you hold.

And I have also heard from many people who have actually made earnings from their long-term holdings because of their patience in waiting for the right time and period for the price of the assets they hold to rise and they are always the winners in the end. I have also not seen anyone who has lost from holding.

Investment is not only for long term but also foe short term. If your bitcoin investment can give you huge profit in one year time, it is an investment. And it is also in other areas of investment. Example. In landed property. If I bought a land this year with the sum of $5, 000,000 for a plot and reaching next year that land has appreciated to $15,000,000, so it is a short term investment I should not sell it? No that is a good profit I have made from the land and sell it and buy again in another location. That is Bitcoin investment is also.

Bitcoin investment is not risky as trading as it was said by different people here and there.

This two depending on the individual purposes and likeness and I could decides to invest and have peace of mind without me facing that hard time to keep speculating and analyzing the market that regularly unlike those who could be doing trading, which implies that they can segment themselves to either daily, weekly or monthly and these are how they positioned themselves within the various moment depending on how their schedules are that is why some people preferred doing investment over trading but though both can be profitable but depends on how good you could be while trading.

You are right that investing can give people peace of mind because it usually means holding onto something for long time and not checking on it all time. This can be good for people who do not want to think about it too much or do not have a lot of time to look at market. If we see other side trading means being more active and paying attention to market a lot which can be done every day week or month. Both investing and trading can make money but key is being good at understanding market no matter which way you choose. At end whether someone chooses investing or trading depends on what they like how much risk they are willing to take and what they want to achieve with their money.

Trading and investment are all aiming at making profits but what matters most is how desperate they could be while choosing the two, I mean anyone who is that desperate would never want to hold for long time because he might think holding may delay their time therefore they wouldn't mind venturing into trading and, it's true trading are for people who are that in a hurry to make profits from their money but had also forgotten that the more they hurry to Make profit the more they also lose in hurry as well.

Charlie Munger is right and no doubt why he's the bestfriend of Warren Buffett. They might be old but that's the best approach towards successful investing. Patience is one of the big factor that most investors don't have anymore today. The truth in waiting is a real thing and that's what Bitcoin investors have, we're patient and good in the waiting game. That's why when BTC reached $100k, others didn't even had a second thought of selling at that price because they've taken a long road for that to see.

Everything here should include patience as our main weapon. Just like those old and traditional investors, it took them time and obviously money and the patience to stay in the market and make money.

And it's no secret, and if we are going to apply it currently, we are down like 30% from the last all time high of $109,000. So we can't do anything but to wait for the price to go up again. But it will take some time, as others predict that it will take at least the end of the year. So around nine months to still wait and see how the price will go and hopefully it will be on what we are seeing, around $150,000-$180,000.

patience is the key and as a trader being able to master that mindset will keep you going and consistency really play a big role also. Nine month you said some investors might get tired but the patience is really the key that will lead you to the profitable investment you did. Perfecting patience will really help a trader a lot not only a trader investors also waiting for the perfect time to sell or buy a currency pair will give you a lot of experience.

Actually, i think that your comment is very prefer in this time. So i am also agree with your prefer comment. So if we want to growth our financial asset, we should follow above this financial source. Because we know that trading is one of the best profitable source for earn best profit from cryptocurrency market. So when we start to understand in cryptocurrency market, then gradually trading will be very easy for us. We also know that investment is also very important earning source for earn best profit. So if we can understand clearly in this two sections,  then i think that our financial growth will be sure.

to be fair how many people you know have held bitcoin from 2017-2025 without selling at least a cent? holding is easier but it’s still difficult than people can imagine especially once you see that you have made profit already the temptation to sell is high

This is also true for other markets, such as tesla and Nvidia stocks. The profits were even higher depending on the range you look at. Just by holding

the way you can make significant profit from trading is if you traded huge amounts of money from the start if you have big capital then profit can come earlier and bigger but otherwise it may take you longer

[JISAN]

You can try trading, but the real money is in waiting

Trading is quite lucrative as well but only for the ones who can control their emotions and for the ones who have patience. A good trader can earn so much money in short time period and that's a fact but similarly a weak hand trader can lose hundreds of dollars within a day.

Trading is a means of earning quick money. And quick things are not always good for a person. Investment is a solid framework for earning money. Here it takes a long time to get good earnings but the risk is much less here compared to trading and on the other hand you can earn long term income from investment. I always support investment because investment can change a person's life after a long time. But trading will often behave like gambling which can destroy a person financially. Because no one can ever fully control their emotions when trading.

Depending on where you start investing, because with a big modla if you can get the right coin with a good timing it will get big profits too.
Trading scalping certainly gives a commensurate profit with large capital. But the risk will also be bigger. Managing large funds must be done correctly somewhat more optimal.

Well, I don't think traders would agree with you on that. Trading is also an art of capital and psychological management. Trading not only generates profits but also creates short-term losses and only yields long-term profits if traders choose a suitable method and adhere to discipline absolutely.

For me, trading is also investing, because traders also put money into the market. Investing includes many areas such as marketing, hunting, supporting, and trading. If investors trade in the short term, they are often called traders, and if they hold assets for the long term and pay little attention to temporary fluctuations in the market, they are holders.

Every good investor says something like this:

Real money is in waiting but only if we have invested in BTC and waiting. If we invested in some low cap or a memecoin and waiting that waiting won't make us money because mostly those tokens will make us lose. In trading we can give chance to any coin because evenwith memecoins in trading we can make good profit and chances are much better.

For financial growth, we should explore both methods. We should allocate most of the funds for holding and other funds for trading purposes.

Yeah, during holding, at some market bullish momentum, many investors, holders will always take profits, at least, they take profits as a rewards for their efforts. However, i think that there could be some diamonds hands that are still holding on to their bitcoin since 2017 in their cold wallets. Some of this wallet informations is difficult to give figure, that is, the owners as you have asked.
Again, There are still Bitcoin holders who has remained anonymous, it will be very difficult to get the figures or identity of crypto holders. Those with experienced can only trace bitcoin owners addresses and may be able to figure out these holders since 2017.
