OP, I disagree with your number 2 option, which states that "Investment has zero risk", and I will let you know that investment alone is highly risky to get involved in because there is every uncertainty attached to every investment whenever it is attempted. You should understand that every investment comes with a risk, and as a matter of fact, there are lots of things one needs to put into consideration before they invest in a business, and these things are just the pros and cons that ought to be put in place in preparation for any unforeseen event. So, if one would prepare for unforeseen occurrences, do you not think that every investment comes with its own risk?
As I understand, the OP on option 2 was correct.
I believe there is indeed zero risk when you invest alone in Bitcoin, for example.
Just read the last part.
"Investment has zero risk but demands your patience to make you rich or successful, probably in the long term."
The words "but," "patience," and "long term" imply that you need to wait patiently after investing until your profit comes. That's the point of the OP, perhaps.
Trading, on the other hand, carries a higher risk compared to investing.
As long as you can wait for the right moment when Bitcoin reaches another ATH, that could be the right time to make a profit. However, the issue is that you need to wait, and there’s no specific timeframe for when you will see a profit. Therefore, having an investment and holding it for the long run would be a good idea.
