Trading isn't for any individual with minimum knowledge, if any individual goes into trading without having the right information they'll lose. Many individuals have lost millions in the market because of this. Trading is more riskier than investing. Trading demand to be more active in the crypto market because as a trader you depend on news happening in the market to determine if you'll be putting in a buy order or opting out of the market.
If you want to be a trader, then you should be ready to learn, as a trader you will always learn, even if you have the right knowledge, then you should be upgrading frequently, trading is not for lazy people, if you are not ready to learn then its just better you don't go into trading because with time you will end up losing money, bitcoin trading is completely different from investment, if you have basic knowledge when you are investing in bitcoin, then its fine, since you will be holding for long term, but in trading you don't only need basic knowledge.
Investing requires minimum work and attention. Investing has less risk involved as if you have patience you can always profits from investing in Bitcoin. Investing in altcoins on the other hand has the same risk as trading so unless you're ready to lose it don't do that.
Investing in altcoin is very risky which i wont recommend anybody to do that, but if you are investing in bitcoin, then its less risky. If you can do your analysis and you invest in bitcoin, just make sure you transfer your wallet to a non custodial wallet and secure your private key. But you really need to be careful when trading, trading is not easy compare to investment.
