Trading and long-term investing

[Localhostspeed]

I will choose long term investment over trading, not all trading though, I do spot trading any time I see an opportunity but leverage trading is something else entirely, it's not made for  the like of me.

I do leverage trading at times but the massive loss is always there as I have lost money this way few times before, spot trading just works best for me and I believe it will be the same with others.

People are always in hurry to make money thats why they feel like long term investment is a waste of time, the secret to long term investment with peace of mind is your source of income, there will be no need for any panic and when the future comes you will be in profit.

Maybe you don't like trading because of your schedule time. There is much more money to be made in trading than you can make in holding a coin for years. When you hold a coin, you are limited to that coin, any other opportunities is not going to be on your side, but as a trader, you can seize to use any of the opportunity that market present to you at that time, if market is given you Bitcoin that time you can follow along and if it's altcoins, you can still follow along.

The only place I see disadvantage in trading is that if you don't know how to trade then know for sure that you are going to regret starting it. Its better to actually hold your coin than start trading when you don't have what it take to be a trader. Make sure to have real experience before you waste all your capitals in trying things that are difficult, you maybe better off holding than doing something  that will put your investment capital at loss.

Trading and investing are not the same thing, it is always proven, and the point is that those who see them as the same, only face losses from them.
Trading and investing, their types, risks, possibilities and nature are completely different, and to be successful in them, you must make decisions according to the type of risk they have, through risk management.
And these must require skill, and you must have the right mindset, here your decisions determine whether you will make a profit or face a loss, when you make the right decision, then you will definitely have the possibility of success, but if you make the wrong decision, you will definitely face losses, so you must be careful when making decisions.

It's important to understand trading and investment before choosing anyone of them. Trading is risky stuff, just see the loss people bear when few days ago President Trump announced 100% tariff on China. If you are doing trading then you will surly lose money in such scenarios. But those who are long term investors they are not much affected because of such news. So it's up to you to decide whether to go for investment strategy or stick with trading. Those who don't like risk usually choose long term investment strategy.

Just to be precise, the type of trading that people were doing who lost all their money because of Trump's tariff announcement on China is actually not the only type of trading one can do. Futures and margin trading is extremely risky, and a person can lose everything in it if they don't do it carefully, and we have seen practical examples of this just recently as you mentioned. However, there are other types of trading as well, where you don't specifically lose money just because the market drops, unless you decide to sell at a loss yourself for being impatient.

I'm talking about spot trading. In spot, a trader doesn't lose money after buying a cryptocurrency even if the market crashes, because they have bought the actual assets and have their ownership. Now, if they decide to sell when the price is low, it's up to them, and that's when they will lose money, but if they keep holding, and once the market recovers, they can even get profits. However, the cryptocurrency chosen must be a good one, of course.

Trading and holding is a choice for everyone in crypto investment, trading required experience and strategy, you have to learn risk management and others skills to protect your cash. It's also required full time, if you're a trader you have to be on your chart daily. It's very risky in crypto investment than a holder, as a holder you don't need to be on online all day, you just have to buy and hold, it's a stress free method. And it's more profitable than trading.  The only way to make so much money in Bitcoin investment is through Hodling and not trading.  Even if you're an expert trader, you can't make huge sum than a holder. It's a fact

Since you now have the choice available, which will you prefer, trading bitcoin or investing in bitcoin? Risk in trading is high compared to investing, the most hardest part of investing instead of trading is holding during both market conditions, anyone having the ability to control themselves already archived investment risk while traders often predict the prices of bitcoin, they cannot be right at all times, trading involves both profit making and losing some part of it, when it gets worse, most traders lose everything in the process. I will choose long term investing over trading.

Low risk, high probability of huge profits, and the only reliable way is to choose long-term investment, there are more risks than there are opportunities in trading, and especially when a new trader starts trading, he can face huge losses and there is a high probability of this loss. But when you choose long-term investment, your risk is very low, keep holding this investment for a long time with patience and faith, then only you will have the highest probability of success. And I think, since the future of Bitcoin is very possible and it can become very huge, the success that Bitcoin investment can bring you in the long term will definitely be much greater than trading, because you will have to face losses many times in trading.

For consistent results, holding is the key, as long as you understand the key. When presented with the option to trade for a week, you might say you're a hodler, not a trader.

The future will always be a cycle, and if we relate it to current developments, perhaps in terms of mass adoption, I think it won't be long before a paradigm shift in the financial system, with BTC also a key player in the structure of the financial system and future payments. One word for now: continue to build slowly and consistently, no matter how much we can.

The negative impact of the global economy on the crypto market can cause instability, so you should be aware of risk management when trading. The price of cryptocurrency increased with Trump's presidency at the beginning of this year. Just a few weeks later, the market began to fall sharply due to the announcement of tariff policies against various countries around the world. Although it did not last long, the market started to rise again. Recently the announcement of tariff increases against China again has created instability in the market. I think this price decline will not last long.

The advantage of long term investment is that there is a trend to continue buying in any market situation and investing up to a certain period so the risk is relatively low.

[Fiasem20]

Trading and investing are relatively two different terms used in the crypto space,a trader has a short term goal in receiving profit while an investor's goal is for the long term which is far profitable than trading.Trading has a whole lot to do than investing,for instance a trader always predict of the price movement of bitcoin in order to know when it's the best time to buy and sell on profit,but investing doesn't require when it's the best time to buy and sell on profit rather it's involve finding a perfect accumulation strategy in buying Bitcoin and holding onto it for a long haul.In conclusion,I would advise a newbie to invest rather than trading because trading involve a whole lot of risk.

[Derekfunds]

It is wrong to think that a trader will profit by trading, many times it is seen that a trader is facing a lot of money loss for a small amount of profit. Even if the market goes down a lot after investing in a long term plan, it is normal for an investor, but for a trader, a small dumping of the market can cause a lot of loss.

It actually depends, and you should have mentioned this as well in your post. If a trader is trading in the futures market, which is riskier and could cause excessive losses if someone doesn't know what they are doing, then they are going to incur losses if the market goes against them. However, if someone is trading in the spot market, dips don't particularly make them lose money unless they decide to sell at a loss. The only thing that a dip causes for a short-term trader in the spot market is that it delays their trading, and holds their capital, or at least a portion of it, until the market recovers again and then manages to sell at a profit.

This is the reason why it's not good for a short-term trader to use their whole capital or a big portion of it in a single trade, because if the trade goes against them, then they will have their capital stuck until the market recovers, and sometimes, in case they have invested in an altcoin, a risky one, such as meme coins, there might even be chances for the token to not recover at all. In such cases, they might lose money, and it's their own fault for not choosing a reliable cryptocurrency.

Futures trading is more risky so I have tried to make a comparative difference between spot trading and investing. I think the initial step of trading is spot trading, some traders may not start futures trading before starting spot trading, so if all these traders know the good and bad sides of trading in advance and if they can consider trading as risky then they will understand the subject of futures trading and they will refrain from this risky work.

Yes, spot trading is more like semi trading because it is somehow like trading and somehow like Investment too because in spot trading you don't lose your money because what you do is bought a coin and then allow it to grow so that you would get a profit but sometimes when we bought these coins, some tends to dip before going up and it is not advisable to use what we can not afford to spare at that point in time or what we can not really let go because if you use such money or funds when the coin dip and you expect profit in the few time to use and settle something and the trading doesn't go as planned you might tempted to sell at loss, I have fallen victim before.

But when you choose long-term investment, your risk is very low, keep holding this investment for a long time with patience and faith, then only you will have the highest probability of success. And I think, since the future of Bitcoin is very possible and it can become very huge, the success that Bitcoin investment can bring you in the long term will definitely be much greater than trading, because you will have to face losses many times in trading.

Holding bitcoin for long-term is the best bitcoin investment trading is because it is the only kind of Bitcoin investment that is less risky when you compare long-term bitcoin investment and trading you will know that trading is more risky than long time holding, the reason why Bitcoin trading is very risky is because of the volatile nature of Bitcoin so in other to avoid that risk all you need to do is to accumulate Bitcoin and hold it for 5 years and above, and I believe you will even make more money when you are accumulating and holding Bitcoin for long term than trading, if you are accumulating and holding Bitcoin for long time you are in a safe investment and your mind will be very calm, your mind being calm is one good thing I love about it however if you are trading Bitcoin your mind will always be worried which causes some kind of issues in our health.

Holding bitcoin for long-term is the best bitcoin investment trading

Best investment trading, I have never known about investment trading.

Investment and trading are always different things to do, and you can have investment trading. Practically some people are confusing between investment and trading, have no ideas about how to maintain their investment and how to split their capital between investment and trading. They store their bitcoin in an account on centralized exchange, and initially they want to use some for investment, some for trading but in practice they use all bitcoins in that account for trading.

It means eventually they are traders, no longer as investors and their practice is not as investment trading, just pure trading.

Yes, spot trading is more like semi trading because it is somehow like trading and somehow like Investment too because in spot trading you don't lose your money because what you do is bought a coin and then allow it to grow so that you would get a profit but sometimes when we bought these coins, some tends to dip before going up and it is not advisable to use what we can not afford to spare at that point in time or what we can not really let go because if you use such money or funds when the coin dip and you expect profit in the few time to use and settle something and the trading doesn't go as planned you might tempted to sell at loss, I have fallen victim before.

Your idea of spot trading as semi trading is good since you purchase coin and hold it to make profit which is like investing and you do not actually lose coin. You are right that biggest danger is to use money that you cannot afford to lose or need in coming days because when price of coin drops naturally, being under pressure will make you sell at loss. So, key of successful spot trading is to only add extra money that you cannot leave for long time without, so that you will be able to see price drop as quick phenomenon in market and never have to sell when price is low.

Trading is simply taking advantage of market movements but what people don't talk about are the technicalities involved in it. We can't really equate trading and investing, trading requires more analysis and you need to work twice as hard for you together results.  Investing also requires knowledge as well but trading is more complex. People that trade are usually not patient enough to go for long term investments, they either do day trading or swing trading,  from my experience I thnk 3 to 4 months is the max period a swing trader can leave ther trade open and this is very risky

Yes, trading is a very complex subject, it is not as easy as people think, and that is why comparing trading with investing is definitely wrong. Trading is a place of great skill, where decisions have to be made in a moment and even a small mistake can cause big losses, so to become skilled in all these areas, you must work hard and gain skills for a long time. But in terms of investing, it is much easier than trading, it is much safer in the long run, and you do not need much knowledge to manage yourself here, just know the general things about Bitcoin and just keep investing and holding with faith, here you have to sustain yourself for the long term, only then will you get benefits from it.

I don’t always encourage people to trade because of the risk involved in it. if you are not careful you might end up losing everything which you have most especially if you trading futures. If you are a newbie and you want to trade, then it’s better you take your time to learn about it, know the risk involved in it, and make sure you manage your risk. As a newbie, you should know that trading isn’t what you should think you can jump into, don’t expect quick money from trading, because that’s what most people are always looking for.

It’s just better to invest in bitcoin, and if you are investing, then your target should be long term investment, if you are planning to hold for short time, you might now really be making money, and it’s risky also because when you will be planning to sell, then bitcoin price might be down by then.

Those who don't like risk usually choose long term investment strategy.

And also depends on how emotionally you are prepared because trading can be emotionally draining compared to just investing and trading comes with a lot of risks and its not everyone that can handle it and that is why it is important to know on time time be able to decide which one they want to do. And I don't  know what's wrong with Trump with all the increment  on the tariff without proper consideration, I feel he should do better. Most of this this things have affected the market so bad that a lot of people lost good money leading to some people losing there life after losing money.

Those that are investing which is people that are holding for a long time, have less issues to worry about because no matter how bad the market is it will surely recover so they don't have anything to worry about compare to does that are doing daily trading. Because the moment you lose a trade then you money is gone. And people don't want to even learn and that is  costing them a lot because they lack proper knowledge so it will better for them to just stick to holding because is not everyone that have the mindset of trading.  You hardly lose money when holding.

Many traders in their market analysis were was wrong in this year after seeing BTC hit its all-time high, hoping it would continue its bullish trend. Unfortunately, a flurry of bad news from several governments caused the crypto market to crash.

This is important, and I'll quote a portion: "Because when you lose in a trade, your money is gone." That's true, but as long as the coin you're holding has a measurable price history, it doesn't matter if it drops during corrections, but it will rebound far beyond what we usually think. This is true for BTC , ETH, and top Altcoins others.

Generally, market sentiment and psychology remain normal despite the drama, and investors remain confident in accumulating their crypto.

For me long term investment more difficult than trading. But long term investment is the best and most profitable for an investor. You have to be very patient in investing and keep accumulate for a long period of time only then can it be successful for you and provide financial freedom. Long term Bitcoin Investment. Accumulation Bitcoin with patience for a long time is not easy at all.

Trading like investing is a difficult matter but for this you have to bear more risk. There is a possibility of getting high profits in trading as well as a possibility of huge losses. To gain trading skills, you need a lot of funds to analyze the market and buy.

Long term Bitcoin investment is most suitable for a new investor compared to short term trading because the risk is much lower due to the use of discretionary funds and the desired return can be achieved by increasing its holdings in the future.

Investing and trading sure do operate on a completely different mindsets within the crypto space. A trader needs to constantly monitor the market, needs to master emotional control and should be ready to react to sudden price movements, which can be very demanding mentally because traders need to stay updated with market trends at all time so as not to miss out on potential short term opportunities. While the case is a lot more different from an investor’s perspective. Yeah an investor also needs emotion control, patience and discipline, rather than depending on their decisions for profits, investors depend more on compounding returns and all they gotta do is wait and hodl for the long term, no need to time the market at all cos they have the opportunity to capitalize on all market conditions.
