Trading is for those who want to utilize almost any swing of the market; investment is a whole different beast, truly, and a more time-consuming, stable path.
Investment is a long term game, it is time consuming but there will be more steady returns if investes in the proper coins and not shitcoins. There are people who are investing for long term and making decent returns while having a stable daily income as well.
Trading in short term is always risky. But long-term trading is similar to investment. Like buying bitcoin when the price crashes and selling it at the all time high.
