Way back 2017 when I was a newbie I don't even understand the difference of the two. All I know is trading and investing are both risky and the chance of gaining profit depends on analysis. But unlike gambling, trading and investing are more profitable. Knowing the difference also help a person determine what best fits them. Me personally, I am not the kind or person to sit all day watching the prices that is why I much prefer to invest in good coins rather than trading.
