What is the major difference between a crypto trader and an investor?

[Kingsley]

Trading as we know has alot to do with buying and selling of either goods or services over a short period of time, traders tends to seek profit as quickly as possible. While investors are not necessarily traders but are also risk takers who tends to stake their wealth to produce further wealth over a period of time.

Both traders and investors seek to generate profits on the financial markets. Their methods to achieve this goal, however, are quite different. Generally, investors seek to generate a return over a longer period of time - think years or even decades. Since investors have a larger time horizon, their targeted returns for each investment tend to be larger as well.

Traders, on the other hand, try to take advantage of the market volatility. They enter and exit positions more frequently, and may seek smaller returns with each trade(since they're often entering multiple trades)

Which one is better? Which one is more suitable for you?

They both have their own positives. An investor can invest and leave it without worrying about short-term gain and the profit would be large. But then patience is the key there. For traders, they have to be more on their toes and keep tracking the market day to day or even on an hourly basis. So it definitely needs them to be actively involved and take fast decisions of buying and selling as the market behaves.

Crypto trader is also an investor, he or she can decide to invest in money, either to buy and holdl the coins for short term or long term until the coin's price starting pumping high meeting his or her expectations before flipping up yo make profit out of it. Or simply going to trade the coins, either short or long term trading investment.

Investors believe in long term benefits , they invest in a particular coin , hold it for long term and sell at right price. But traders look to make profits , may it be even a small profit , they look into the market charts daily and trade accordingly.

Basically, there is no difference between the two but an investor keeps himself invested for a certain time in his mind but a trader always looks for an opportunity to get in or get out of the trade as he earns or loses a certain amount of money. The investor looks for a long time investment but a trader has no time-bound program besides, a trader also invests on behalf of others on a profit-sharing basis.

Traders is always calculative, risk takers and never look back when investing funds via trading scheme either on crypto, forex stock, and binary. Some traders pay for legit signal in order to ascertain when the coin will pump up and trade on time to make profit as the coin climbs higher. At tines it works for them, and at times it doesn't, cos the market act on an unpredictable way some times too.

the difference is that one trades and the other invests and often for a very long time
