I'm brain-puzzled lol, help me with math: i'm using CAT from Sampey with min %gain for ping-pong orders set to 1%. In your opinion is it better to hold following the bull or buy/sell with 1% at each single trade?

This isn't really good trading advice, but technically it is better to trade on a bull market, and hold when it levels out.

Bull markets mean that as long as it goes up there is money to be made, and if you trade, even if you sell at a loss at some points, unless you are retarded, you can leave with money in your pocket due to the number of opportunities available.

At this point I would just keep holding my coins since there aren't any decent fluctuations although the price has gone up lately. Wait for the moment there are plenty of +$10 price swings in a single day to trade on.

buy and hold is the best option, but i have a better option, which is buy and generate, so i don't need to buy and expose my funds to shitty taxes

well, you are always taking risk on both of them but in my opinion the risk of trading especially like what you are describing is more risky so if you are willing to take the risk then go for it because you can make more money that way but for less risk just buy and hold.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

Buy and generate, do you mean lending your coins as example?

you can generate bitcoin without buying in many way, via signature, via lending yes with interest, any form of interest is a good gnerator fo bitcoin, just do not fall for ponzi

and via mining of course the emblem of the bitcoin generation

As with what the current market sentiment is right now, buying a little and turning a portion of your crypto holdings (if any) in bitcoins is a nice way to do in this current bull run. Selling a bit premature might be considered as a good move, but no one wants to get short on profits, right? So increase, hold, and sell when you feel like selling. Don't short; it's probably the worst thing to do right now.

Of course in the U.S. trading will give you an unbelievable headache at tax time if you don't have an accountant.

Yes, lending seems good idea but with the offered interest rate on Poloniex I won't do it for the moment.

That's what I have done. But I got a specific amount of BTC that I won't sell in the very long time and don't trade for altcoin neither.

trading is a good way to increase your coins while holding is the safest option where you will only see the $ value increase. i am doing both. where i can i trade to generate some coins, and the other part of my coins keeps sitting in my cold wallet for holding purposes.

I agree with the latter part of what you said. I think it is better to wait for the right moments to trade at the right moments as there are times when prices go up and down in a single day. Although expect that at the very end of the day, the price is a little higher than when the day started.

I do both hold and trade. I have sold a few in the price range of $460 and is now the time to trade when the price falls far enough to $440, the likelihood prices will rise again. although not a lot I think.

I recommend holding personally , Buy and hold until bitcoin reach a price that you feel comfortable with .. then you could sell with no regrets. Wait halving block reward next july and see how things goes.

I would recommend trade in short terms with little profit, less risk. The best would be buy and hold but until the price increases I couldn't stay without trading so trading and holding is great, but not selling.

Days like this where the price came down from +$460 to below $440 are great opportunities to generate a decent amount of coins.

This volatility is what traders are looking for, but when there is no volatility it is better to stay away from your coins. Just leave them untouched.

BSV is not the real Bcash. Bcash is the real Bcash.

Buy and generate, do you mean lending your coins as example?
Holding will be now the best option that you can do around this time because the value will be high soon and that would be perfect for the people that is using Bitcoin.
The only thing that can be bad is that you must wait a long time until the value will be more so that can bad because not everyone has the patience for it.

Yeah it is right to hold the coins till price rise, if you choose to trade you may have to lose your coins and at the time of halving when price rises you will be lot worried, so it is better to hold rather than to trade.
