both of them is difference, but to make it easier to understand, when you investing, you trust your money to someone and you don't need and can't do anything with your money until certain period, when you trading, you used your skill and knowledge to generate profit and you need to some work in trading, you need to pay attention to the chart and keep the updated news everyday

so when investing you depend on somebody else when trading you depend on yourself
Great explanation, simple but straight to the point. I consider trading and investment are the same, because when I put my money into trading, it is a kind of investment too.
For me, both are risky but slightly different about how to make sure the outcome will be good. Investment in my point of view is whenever I want to doubled my capital, whether that's trading, start my own business, buy and hold gold or bitcoin.

Well good point for both of you there. For me, i consider investments as more on the long term side while trading is for daily or weekly ventures. Investing for me is when i put money on a prospected spurce of income which may take years. Similar to as you've said, starting a business. While when im trading, as per experience, i only deal with btc and other alt coins
I personally don’t think that investing or trading is worth putting and risking your money on you are just better off saving your money in bitcoin, or you could spend some time learning some skill and offer it for people in exchange for bitcoin, nothing comes easy or without cost you have to work hard for your money.
