Everyone has their own plans, and I don't think it's wrong to do that. Sometimes, people want greater profits or accumulate assets more quickly and in greater numbers. Although the risks involved in trading are significant, such bets are feasible for those who understand trading and have the confidence to do so.
I believe our goal is the same: to profit in the future, even if our paths and strategies differ.
And I do both: investing for the future by slowly accumulating Bitcoin using the DCA method. I also trade with different currencies, with the goal of accumulating more Bitcoin in the future from my trading profits.
We all have our own choice to do whatever we like with our funds because everyone will be responsible for his own action in the future. I wouldn't advice any new investor to have a divided mindset towards trading and investing because you cannot serve two masters at the same time. A new investor should only focus on growing his bitcoin investing with his ongoing DCA for 4-10 years and above in consistent and persistent manners. Trading will only distract you and lead you to losses because you cannot outsmart the market in the long run since bitcoin price is unpredictable due to her volatile nature.
Personally, I see trading as gambling because you are wasting your precious time, energy and resources on a practice that will lead you to losing your bitcoin in the long run instead of multiplying those quantities of bitcoin for you in the long run. Trading is the opposite of long-term investment. All traders have the confidence that they will make profit, if not they wouldn't trade but it does turn out to be the opposite.
Another disadvantage of trading and investing is that the person might not be able to discipline himself and after liquidating his trading funds due to losses from the market, he might decide to tap little from his bitcoin Invesment and believe that when he makes profit, he will return it back and he can continue this way till gradually, he liquidates his bitcoin investment overtime.
