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.
Yes, you will not lose money if you do not sell it while it is in a drawdown, but what if this drawdown lasts for years, three or five years, or what if after such a drawdown the price never returns to its previous level? Now I’m talking not only about Bitcoin, but also about some shitcoins, which can bring a lot of problems.
In trading, everything will happen much faster, and after a losing trade you can move on, you don’t have to wait several years. But if you buy Bitcoin in a bear market for the long term, then most likely you will be very good at making larger profits than most traders, if the statistics are to be believed.
In addition, we can invest a significantly larger amount in Bitcoin than the amount we allocate for trading, so this can also imply greater profit for a long-term investment.
