Personally I wont want to do both trading and investing at the same time. The mindset of a trader and and that of an investor is not the same. I would be astonished if anyone can comfortably do that without jeopardizing his investment or his trades. There is a saying "you cant serve two master". If we relate that to Bitcoin, we can basically be sincere that its best to either choose to be a trader or an investor. When you focus on one, and implement every strategy and show focus you will be successful in it. I can testify in investment literally.

Exactly, it's just like serving two masters at the same time which can't be possible at once, a traders mindset is to take profits when the opportunity arises whereas, investors need to hold their profits for longer period to gain better profits in the future and even add to it periodically to grow better, those are two different mindset that can't be achieved by one person that why you'll either choose to do any, however I won't advise people to thread the risky path, I mean the part of trading, it better to buy Bitcoin and hold the major requirements are having your discretionary funds intact and being patient which is very possible if the person is determined.
In addition, anyone that is into both trading and investing practice will later end up being a trader in the long run if he doesn't stick to only investing. This is because he will always have that mindset of gambling with the market and if he exhaust all his trading funds, he will be tempted to take from his investment funds with the false hope that when he will make profit and replace it, before you know it gradually, he is decreasing his bitcoin portfolio instead, of adding to it.

In future, that person will have only little bitcoin as his overall portfolio, because he will have the habit of a trader than an investor which is waiting to buy at the dips, losing too many bitcoin because traders always run at loss in the long run.

He is going to complicate things for himself because he is involving in two different activities with different risk which that of trading is very high.

I wouldn't advise anyone to think of trading as a means to pile up wealth for the future because it's the opposite, so why would you involve in an activity that you take more from you than what you get back.
