Trading is not done out of desperation and the longing to make instant money if not followed with the right mindset and approach followed with the basic knowledge it could be disastrous
There are loses and gains when it comes to trading loses should be a calculated one but how then do you know which is going to be profitable every risk should be calculated squarely
Agreed with what Sim_card already said.
You can make short-term gains or get into trouble,
OR you can hodl, see your investment grow, and prosper in the end by much, much more.
Your pick.
the difference between the two concept is getting clear and it makes more sense why investing is better than trading. when you trade, what you are looking for is just a fast way of getting good output which can lead you into trouble when you don't do it well, hence the reason why we have a loss of traders that have gotten into serious debt by being too engrossed in trading. investing on the other hand even if it does not come with immediate prosperity and gains helps the investor build on his wealth every tik of the clock and continue building till he has gotten enough that he can let stay for a long time. it looks really basic and easy because it does not require you to learn too much or to become too good in some technical analysis before getting good profit.
it is just like the usual way of buying every other asset when the price is low and keeping it for long till you are comfortable enough knowing that the asset has appreciated, it added advantage is even that you can buy in fraction such that you do not have to wait till you have the complete money of buying a whole bitcoin before buying, for a low income earner that can not afford to lose any quantity of bitcoin, it is preferable to buy what you are at least sure you wont loose than hope that through trading the ease of becoming a millionaire overnight can just happen that way.
