It's easier said than done, and from what I know of trading and investment, you can get more money in trading, but it comes with a higher risk as well, while the risk in investment is lower and can over time hand you a moderate amount of return depending on the asset. You will need extensive learning and training for trading and must be sure of knowing the rudiments of self-control, money and risk management and how to effectively plan your trading system and portfolio as a whole.
These are no joke in the real sense, which is why I always prefer investments for those who are of the faint mind. They may think they will win but might end up losing money. But investment still gives somewhat rest of mind and fewer tasks from your side, particularly if the asset does not fail.
investment is so far easier honestly, you missed the opportunity of selling or the coin that you invested is dumping so hard what you need to do is just wait it out and you will make your investment back even with some profits meanwhile with trading you missed chance or opportunity of dumping you most likely gonna be losing otherwise your money become investment to that coin instead if you are deciding to just hold.
overall trading is more exhausting, and the profit I think isn't necessarily larger than investment but it definitely generates money faster and in short period of time compared to investment.
but even then nowadays investment like in binance launchpad like that usually also have massive return within short term time so I think regarding profitability rate, its still kind of confusing.
