Trading, in general, refers to the activity of transferring goods between two persons. In the investment space, it refers to the trading of assets for a profit, or sometimes a loss. One thing you should know about trading is that it involves significant risks. Depending on the asset you are trading, you should be ready to take some risks to make good profits in trading.
Note: Trading should not be confused with investing, which is the process of allocating funds in a particular asset for a certain period (usually long term) with the expectation of making a profit. Investing involves lesser risk
There is a third way of generating income from assets. It’s called dividends. It involves acquiring assets that pay regular dividends. It’s just like you receive interest on your money deposited in a bank account.
Same as stocks, now there are cryptocurrencies that pay dividends to the holders. For example, when you obtain and hold SEEK Coins, you’ll start receiving real-time dividends on every transaction that occurs in the SEEK ecosystem. All dividends are automatically paid out to holders’ wallets by the SEEK smart contract and will be sent to all token holders based on their holdings.
