trading bitcoin is better and recommended. because right now bitcoin can be one of the things that has the most potential to earn profits faster and just wait for price increases. not like stock trading that has a lot of technicality and must be mastered
You can trade bitcoin despite of lack of mastery, and on that point of stock trading I wouldn't recommend it as a good start for any new traders. Bitcoin trading can be learned through virtual experience, and you don't need to force yourselves to research too much just to gain skills on it. Holding it long term is your confirmation to obtain productive benefits.
