In my opinion you should choose trading only if you love this process, if you are talented in it and want to go for it not just for fast profits - you should love this game itself, spend your time with pleasure. Don't treat it like job, otherwise you'd better choose investing.
Regular trading is not like a hobby. It requires to be disciplined and systematic to make a profit. Simple hodling seems to be more easier way to earn money without permanent risk to lose your earnings on trading, especially using high leverages.
