I like to control the money so, to me anyway, mining is the more comfortable way to go. Profitable? Maybe, maybe not. But I like to sleep good at night

Trading doesn't necessarily have to be something you are very active with. I for example consider myself to be an occasional trader, where I buy now, wait for the price to move up or down depending on my position at that time, and then comfortably strike. In some cases you can do so in a matter of days, and in some cases it takes a few weeks. If you play it smart, you can benefit from each direction the market heads into, so it's not that you can't sleep well -- that just plays inside your head. Mining requires you to keep an eye on so many crucial variables, that I see more risk in that part of the market than occasional trading what I do. On top of that, doing this occasional trading, or longer term holding of a certain coin, has proven to be more profitable. But then again, opinions may differ....

I'm with you regarding into this which Is actually true that trading doesn't really be necessary to make ourselves suffer on having less sleep maybe on active traders but yet somehow this thing can really be changed up if we want to. Trading smartly with proper time management regarding on your trading positions will really tell the difference and in regards of profitability I would really go on trading since there are lots of coins to be chosen from it might not be on constant basis but potential profits is huge compared into mining and also its way to technical for me to maintain such farm.
