Traders are more focused on trying to make fast profit from the market; they don't want to hold for long. They study the market and move from one pair to the other as long as they can get something attached to their money. Some of them are still regarded as investors since they use their money to trade whatever asset they trade. At the end of the day, they are all targeting to get profit.

The question is are traders suppose to be called investors too and I say yes depending on the type of trader, there are two types of traders there are short term traders where we see them open and closing there positions with few minutes, hours or even a day, they mostly classified into scalpers  then there are traders who are long term traders with opening and closing of trade positions between days, weeks, months and even upto a year this are swing traders, this swing traders depending on their duration of holding a trade can be in the category of short term investors.

Also there are trades today that the profit they get from trading they simply invest it into most of this coins just like the usual investors also do, so a trade can simply navigate between been a trade and an investor or can be both at same time

Basically, investors and traders have several differences, one of which is the purpose of buying an asset, investors tend to buy to be able to hold it in the long term, the take profit target is also certainly greater.

While traders tend to buy an asset to hold it for a short time, the goal is also different, traders just want to find a relatively fast profit, but this has a higher risk than investors.

Strategies are also different, traders are more directed towards technical analysis, because this is useful for trading in the short term. While investors are more fundametal analysis, looking at the development of the assets purchased, as well as current market conditions, which will continue to change every time.

Long-term holders are usually called investors, while short-term buyers and sellers are traders. Both invest, but with different goals.

Just because a trader doesn't hold a certain asset they've bought for a long time doesn't mean that they believe the project can collapse or they don't believe in its long-term potential, but they buy and sell assets in short-term because they are looking for constant profits and they can't wait for long-term to get their profits, and a trader doesn't necessarily have to only be a trader, one can do both trading and make investments as long as they have enough money to do both, but if someone doesn't have enough money but they want quick profits, they will do trading instead of having their money stuck in an investment and then wait for years to get profits.

The difference is in the financial goals and targets. An investor aims to get long-term benefits, and they know that it won't affect them if their money is stuck for years, because the money they use is basically for that purpose. A trader's goal is to get profits every day or every week because they earn and use those profits mostly because a day trader generally uses trading as a source of income, mostly.

Most traders depend on the profits of their trading activities for immediate sustenance since it's their source of livelihood, but investors buy and hold and allows profits and capital to keep growing and they target taking profits on a much later time. Investors tends to have other sources of income in order to sustain their consistent and persistent accumulation journey and they still have their whole time to do many other things, but traders are stuck to their trades and most of them depend on their quick profits for survival.

The scalpers can never be called investors because they hardly hold their coins, but swingers can manageably be referred to as short-term investors, but their profits in bitcoin can never be measurable with that of long-term holders.

Yes, they buy and sell bitcoin and they also save their bitcoins for longer periods so they can still be called investors too

Yes, they have many differences but at the end of the day, they all have the same goal and whether it is short term or long term, they all aim for profit. Meanwhile, investment means using money to invest in fields, assets...to create and earn profits. So I tend to agree that traders can also be called investors although there will be differences in strategies, plans, goals if analyzed further.

As an investor or trader, it really doesn't matter and there is no need to argue about it. Because the main goal of investing is profit and we put money into the market to make more money, not just to become or need people to recognize us as investors or traders.

Traders are known for whom they were and can also be called an investor simply because they are also investing in a currency to sell on a short time basis, that they often exchange  coins from one to another does not mean they aren't traders, they are investors as well because they use their money to trade a particular currency base on its performance, while the so called investors are long term holders of a particular currency.
