I mostly mine and hodl, but my friend day trades and says I should start getting into it. What do you prefer to do and do you think there is a better route to take? I personally think it's all up to personal preference, I'm new though.
Preference on how will you make profit out of crypto depends on the user itself. Trading in my opinion is a bit risky unlike investing especially with bitcoin where profit has a more chance to be earned due to the high demand on the market. But the best thing to do is to try all of it and see it for yourself.
I really agree with you mate as a newbie is risky to invest in trading need to learn a lot how to become trader before intering the difficult way of job as trader's, investing in ico are nice way to start crypto but take note before you can invest in ico read learn how its work. try to read and learn I am hero.
