I am trying to do both. There are many projects offering passive income for holding your coins and using the rewards for trading and further investing. For experienced traders it is more profitable just trading I guess.
Do not rely too much on dividends from cryptocurrency projeck because from what I observe as a whole we actually have the potential to lose because of the hype of the projeck if it drops then the purchasing power of tokens or coins will make prices fall. better if you are interested in investing in stocks to get dividends.
