Actually there is a difference, the point of trading is to buy low and sell at a higher price relatively quickly for a profit, if it was that easy we could all do it and retire onto our own island somewhere in the Caribbean. Trading carries a risk as the price of the commodity you are buying can go up as well as down.
Investing mean to by a commodity (in this case Bitcoin) and hold onto it in the hope that the price rise and you will make a profit when you came to sell the commodity, in this case Bitcoin.
Investing is a long term strategy.
Bitcoin And Crypto Trading
This exists on the volatility in the market, at the end of 2017 the price of Bitcoin was rocketing, Bitcoin was big news. Then lots of amateur investors got onboard, maxed out their credit cards and then Bitcoin crashed.
The money they spent on the credit cards still had to paid back and the result was that there were considerable loses. Some banks now refuse to allow their credit cards to be used to buy cryptocash.
To a great extent it was media hype that facilitated so many people getting onboard, the promise of easy more is always a lure. The true trader will ride out the dips and have a diverse portfolio to hopefully offset any loses.
Trading is not for everybody, it takes nerve partially when large sums are involved. If you are risk adverse then this wont be for you.

Investors are in it for the long term rewards, usually they are not bothered about short term price fluctuations in price.
Long term investors usually spread the risk in the same way as investors but in much smaller amount.
The rise of share dealing in the past thirty years or so had made investing much more common than it used to be, people usually bought into a plan with a projected return over a fixed term.
When the price is low that is the time to buy, the tricky thing is to buy at the very bottom of the market, obviously the converse is also true trying to find the peak time to sell can also be more luck than judgement.
