Of course investing in Bitcoin is better than Trading even though most guys proclaim that trading is profitable but yet it can not be compared with investing and HODLing for a long period of time. Trading is seen as gambling in the sense that so much stress is attached and emotion is attached in a way that when ther is a lose it causes panic. So in whatever way we think of, Bitcoin investment is far better than Trading in my own opinion.
There is a big line between trading and investing in Bitcoin and the reason why people think investing on a general is far lucrative than trading is because trading isn't just something you get to just start up, it takes years of practice and patience to learn and master the art but in terms of income made I believe professional traders are making lots and tons of cash but the risk factor is simply what just separates the two ideology.
