Only one investor?

Is he talking about Warren Buffett?

A person, that would choose, to build a long position in, (5%~15% of the portfolio), for e.g $FIS or $HOFT or few dozen other names, instead of going all in into ETH or BTC.

That is a definition of a Investor for me.

It's semantics. Whether an investor, trader, gambler or speculator, the objective is to make a profit. You will probably do fine as any of them as long as you have some kind of risk control in place. (maybe we can rule out the gambler)

I wonder how many traders have turned into investors because they didn't want to take a loss.

That could be.
But, used to be that all longs of stock options were named speculation by the IRS.
(no Long Term gain allowed regardless of the holding period).
Seems that being long a barrel of oil is a whole lot better than owning some out-ot-the-money calls on oil.

The rules changed. Leaps held for more than a year and a day are considered to be long term.
