I'm not new to bitcoin but I got the idea about this forum a few days ago. Actually I know about bitcoin quite a bit since long time. I have experience in buying and selling bitcoin and buying and selling Altcoins and trading. Although my reserve is being invested in bitcoin quite a bit, I keep a small amount of my income for investment and investment is going on.

I don't think it is a wise idea to be investing in Bitcoin and, at the same time, trading. With this method, someone can easily lose their Bitcoin investment. Once a person loses all the funds deposited in the trading account, it's very possible that they will touch their Bitcoin investment just to trade and try to recover the money they lost. Gradually, this could lead to completely emptying their Bitcoin investment.trading is never the wayit is very risky, and it's an easy way for people to lose money. So, I would say it's a bad idea to be an investor a trader at the same time. You’re likely to lose everything easily.

I don't want to enter anyone's personal life and I don't want to talk about their personal freedom. Being a trader is a personal freedom for a person and being an investor is also a personal freedom. We shouldn't comment on this. Bitcoin investment and trading are two different things. Being a trader does not mean that a person cannot be successful in long-term investment. Leave it to him and let him think for himself how to be successful.

But I must say that entering a person's trade is not a good move, trading is very risky and the possibility of losing money is very high. If your money is valuable, then think twice before entering a trade and make a decision. Spending money on investment can be a much more profitable decision in the long run than losing money on trading.

I get what you are saying, and I agree that whether someone chooses trading or investing is really up to them. People have different risk appetites and different ways of handling the market, so there is no one size fits all approach. I have seen folks who started as traders and eventually became solid long term holders after realizing the market can’t always be timed perfectly. On the other hand, I know some long term holders who occasionally take small, calculated trades just to grow their stack when a clear opportunity shows up.

But yeah, you are right about the risk side of trading it’s not as easy as it looks. I have watched people including my self jump into trades during hype, thinking I would make a quick profit, only to watch the market turn against me in minutes....Before I use to buy big position right before a dip, panicked, sold at a loss, and then watched the price rebound the next day and I really learn a lot of lessons from it..... That is why for most people, a steady investment plan with patience usually ends up being less stressful and more rewarding than chasing quick wins. At the end of the day, it justabout knowing yourself and making moves you are comfortable with.

There’s indeed a high risk in trading because it’s volatility can lead to rapid losses, especially with leverage. And trading is one thing that will require good time management, you’ll always have to monitor it. And as such it’s not advisable to go into such.

Investing in bitcoin is indeed the best practice, and patient is a principal thing when investing in bitcoin, since it’s long term price appreciation has been proven, although there maybe short time price fluctuations. But regular buying and accumulating more bitcoin over time with your discretionary income using DCA strategy will save you stress and reduce the impact of volatility.

Of course, trading is like trying to surf during a storm and it looks fun and exciting, but one wrong move boom and you are already wiped out. With leverage, even a small price dip can lead to big losses. And it is not something you can casually do on the side. You have got to be locked in, watching charts daily, reacting fast. If you have got a busy schedule or just want peace of mind, it is honestly not worth the stress......Now, investing in Bitcoin and proper holding is a calmer, smarter approach. The price might swing short term, but when u zoom out and you will see the long term growth. Let us take someone who started buying $50 worth of Bitcoin every month for like 8 years, no fancy timing, no stress just consistent buying. Today, they would have already built a solid position without ever needing to trade......
