Wikipedia:
An
investor is a person that allocates capital with the expectation of a future financial return.
A
trader is person or entity, in finance, who buys and sells financial instruments such as...
So if you use exchanges to trade - you are not an investor, you are trader.
If you hold them for future returns - you are investor.
And both make money.
As for Stocks Exchange, yesterday I posted Heads Up warning to all here that STEX exposes abnormal behaviour. Posted screenshots and suggested to take coins back. At that time I got withdrawals literally in 2 minutes. I regret that you have issues getting coins back, I was afraid to have the same, so warned ASAP so people could do the same. I hope they will recover funds. But as for me, I will never use this exchange due to its complete lack of support (again, see what I've written yesterday).
LMAO, I wasn't even going to bother replying. You stick with Wikipedia's explanation of what things are in life, that's fine and I will do things my way thanks. I'm here to make money and that involves putting money into things I think are going to make more money.
