Trading is important as future investments. But I see today the Bitcoin price increase very high. I think Mining is the best option today as compared to the local tradings.
Good to have these two choices if you want to invest in crypto/bitcoin or a certain alt coin. If you can avail to invest more than $5,000 for the mining rigs then you might get some decent return in several months. And you just have to maintain your rig. But if you don't want to do such efforts with those rigs and taking care of it, you can just simply do day trading and there's one more easier way of it is to buy, forget it for years and that's the popular way of trading, holding.
