I think it is mostly greed that make some people make the decision of trading Bitcoin rather than investing and holding. They believe that investing is too slow and will not give the kind of fast profits they want hence they need fast way of making the profits and trading is one thing that looks like it holds the answer even though in the end it is not always as easy as it seems. Trading is very risky and something not meant for those who are not ready to lose their money. Investing on the hand, is more reliable in the sense that it gives the assurance of profits when held for a long period of time.

I don’t think it’s GREED that makes people trade, it’s the need or desire for fast money just like you said and their impatience to invest. You can say people lose money most times because of GREED, that I can agree. Even as bitcoin has aged and it’s getting more global adoption there are still people who are sceptical about investing. There are people who prefer to pay someone who says he’s a professional trader to trade with their money than invest themselves. No matter how much we sound it that trading is Risky, people are still getting into it.

Investment is a planned and correct strategy of spending resources or time to gain capital. The investment period or duration depends mainly on the individual. Some invest short-term and some long-term. According to your comment, you do not consider keeping it for a year as investment but as gambling or trading. Again, you said that if you keep it for four years, it is an investment.
Yes, Short-term investment and trading are almost same think. If someone keeps it for a year and then sells it profitably, then it is also a trading, And trading is an attempt to make quick profits through short-term buying and selling, which is risky. Some people are making good profits by keeping it for one to two years, while others are making big profits by keeping it for more than four years. However, a long-term attitude and patient attitude are good in investing.

Investment is not a planned and correct strategy of spending resources or time to gain capital rather investment is a choice someone (investor) make to keep on accumulating and holding for a long period of time because they feels that is the best way to go about Bitcoin and it is through long term you can get something tangible. And secondly you don't spend resources in investment rather you buy and store for future use because definitely you will get a profit and I think the people that spend resources are traders because the chance of them losing there resources ( money) is very high so don't misunderstood this.

You’re trying to correct someone and your definition is no way better instead you went ahead to talk on the act of investing, I thought you were gonna give a better definition or you didn’t get that he was tryna give a general view of what investment is before saying his other points. And who says you don’t spend resources on investment (Do you understand what resources are?) Microstrategy sells their MSTR stocks to buy bitcoin, what’s that called?…
