Not all investors can be traders and not all traders can be investors, because both have different characteristics.
Investors are people who can be patient not only monthly but also annually and even more than five years to see their assets increase, so years without profit is not a problem because the real profit is when it has been taken not just seeing our coins are green, so as long as he has not sold his coins it means he has not made a profit, while traders are people who feel the need to make a profit every day or in the short term.
Investment is indeed more profitable, but in my opinion what is more profitable is where we can maximize profit, because if investors cannot wait patiently they can also lose.
