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.
You are absolutely right that's the real truth about it, because trading is just all about taking risks. But still people don't want to hear, they always like quick money without realizing the risk involved in them. Of course Bitcoin investment is far better than trading because once you invest in Bitcoin and hold for a long period of time it most surely yield good profits.
The investments are far more profitable than short term trading but why all the influencers promote trading because they want people to become traders, join their paid groups and so on. The in and out of the market, with all those stops losses and risks, is a complete headache when you compare it with Investment, where you just invest in bitcoin
BTC or large-cap coins and see the result after a year or few months.
Investment can make you life-changing money, while it's even hard to stay in profit in trading by newbies and immature traders.
