Under what circumstances is trading preferred over holding?
Btc reaching 10k$ way before new year is a big shock,your opinions would be very helpful.

This is depend on the skill, time and emotion that you have, now price of Bitcoin bullish trend so will be more risky if to do trading. But if you really want to trade for the better do short trading by taking profit 10%-20% especially altcoin that paired with BTC so will be more safe than longterm trading because price of Bitcoin up trend. And use maksimum 20% of total Bitcoin , this is will be less risk.

When it comes to Bitcoin, holding is obviously the better choice as it is looking unstoppable as it almost near the five figure mark. The future looks promising with the holders being rewarded massively for their perseverance and determination.

With altcoins, it is a complete different scenario. The current day is run by a lot of pump and dump groups which are big threats to the actual development of the project. Holding could be considered decent if the project has potential, otherwise the best bet would be to trade.

The simplest solution is to do both, set aside a small fraction for trading, around 20% of your total investment and use that for trading, and hold the rest.

In my opinion, with Bitcoin, you should not prepare anystrategy. Just buying it and holding in the long time. You will get huge profit

Hodl'ing if you:
-Like being lazy
-Don't want to spend a lot of time researching and trading
-Just want some easy profits
-Are unskilled in trading
-Have a small budget

Trading if you:
-Like being active in the cryptoworld
-Don't mind spending a lot of time researching and trading
-Like working for your money
-Are skilled in trading
-Have a large budget

Note that a large budget is preferred for hodl'ing as well, but if you trade with a very low budget, you're probably not gonna make a lot of money. Whilst you have made a lot of money if you just HODL'd Bitcoin from the start with just $10, you probably wouldn't be a millionaire now if you traded that $10.

Holding: If you want to be on safe side and don't want to play any risk game,
Trading: If you want to do some research and have some skill, Trading is always a risk part you have to be prepared to loose or gain

Suggestion: If you have 2BTC than my suggestion is hold 1 Bitcoin and Trade 1 Bitcoin with good research you might gain 1 to 10 Btc with trading while you are holding 1 btc you can just expect Bitcoin price to go up and up but while you are making extra Bitcoin from your trading than you can expect price going up and also your Bitcoin going up from your trading. Plan and to Trading always do some research while buying alt-coins there are few alt-coins with very good development and potential so if you invest on those coin you can assure either price drops for those coins because of bitcoin price skyrocketing still good coins will gain there value in long term so choose coins with best research so you will never loose your BTC.

I would hold currencies like btc eth waves and stuff like that.
And just trade smaller coins.

Bitcoin holding is the best option in current situation. Trading is not a good deal for competitors. So many of the competitors are like to hold the Bitcoin. But trading is a huge profit at end of the sale else it will huge loss in the market. Current ratio is favour to holding the Bitcoin. Because daily it will raise in market value.

Hold coins such as have a good potential like bitcoin and ethereum you may hold this for a long term for better earning and for those altcoins you trade this for short term just like 30% of your fund. Now bitcoin almost overcome the rate of $10k sooner or later it will be reach that amount.

For people who have little knowledge and skill in trading, holding is the best option for them, they still can get profit without doing anything :)). Feel like it's a kind off passive income. LOL. But if you're a good trader of course you'll prefer trading to holding cause it's the faster way to earn money, you can earn everyday not like holding, you only can get more profit when Bitcoin price increase. But don't hope that you'll always win in trading :)). There are a lot of trap in here so you should be careful when join trading :))

I dont do it with bitcoins. It is crazy there.  ;D Just holding it for a long time is my choice now.

I would prefer doing the trading method with altcoins only which only have a little value and I can buy lots of it. The more the merrier it will be when suddenly its value grow even just for 5% of its current value.

All depends on what you meant by trading and holding, in my opinion buying Bitcoin and hold in your wallet or in your exchange account for a period pending when its value appreciate to your and later sell at profit is nothing but trading. And trading crypto currency on the exchange market is also the same thing as buying low then hold for a period of time and sell at profit is also called trading.

Trading is far better than investments if you followed how bitcoin price has been working and you are a trader you will agree with me that even this month bitcoin went to $8,856 and for trader he would take profit there and when price went down to below $6,000 around 11-11-2017 he will buy again and sell now that the price is around $9,976.

Short term earning is trading. If the bitcoin reaches the bump on that day you will find the profit else it goes reciprocally you will never find the profit on that day but bitcoin you saved in your wallet will give a pump on some day and until that your fund you have in your wallet will be goes to big amount with in some days when the time you find the bitcoin bump largely. I feel bitcoin holding is better than trading and all other investment option. Mining is exceptional in this.

The income from trading cannot be compared to holding no matter what because the income is possible to increase the 0.01btc to maybe 0.05btc but as much as there is the possibility of making money, so also the possibility of losing it if not done right or made the wrong decision as that is what is common most times and why some people shy away from any form of trading. But if you are not ready for the risk, don't go near it.

Assuming you bought Bitcoin in January when its market value was $1000 and you kept on holding it till end of November when its value appreciate significantly to $10,000 you would have made a of $9,000. But if a good trader put in the same $1000 since that same January till today though there will be some losses in between the period before now, but by now he/she would have made a profit up to  $15,000 only if he is a good trader. And is what made some people like me prefer trading over holding.

When bitcoin is getting down it's the preferred thing to do by majority, to trade their fiat to bitcoin or sell their alt coins and just keep on holding their bitcoins.


It's shocking that we didn't expect that bitcoin will be reaching it but now it's visible and clear to our eyes that bitcoin is serious.

There are people that holding it, and there are people that spending it =) Like people on wall street :-X
 

If you feel confident that you can time the peaks and valleys of Bitcoin’s price fluctuation well enough to make money, then it’s probably worth it to trade. Otherwise just hold. I have done both and there is no right or wrong answer because it depends on whether you are willing to do the work to research the charts and take the time to make trades. Plus you need to have the discipline to wait for your target prices for selling and buying.

It depends on how far you can manage the risk and emotion. I think holding not too need risk management, just manage your emotion when price up or down, and I guess overall is up. Trading altcoin need more skill to manage risk and for small amount you will be confused to face the fee. Holding maybe is the long-term trading activity.

It depends on which coin will you applied whether trading or holding regardless of the current bitcoin price.

Bitcoin obviously should treat as long term investment. The wise thing to do for an average bitcoiner is to hold it while at the same time increasing the quantity over time. Holding can't increase the quantity, only the value, that's why make way to increase your stach. For other altcoins out there, there are coins which we can classified as good for long term holding or short term. In those coins that we will considered as short term, then we will do regular trades here.

It depends upon your ability, experience and efforts.If you think that you are good at trading and can earn more profits from trading than holding,if you have a done trading before, if  you have enough time to spend on it daily and if you are ready to take risk of losing your money then only you should prefer trading over holding.

People prefer to trade when they are seeing some losses with the coin that they are holding. But I doubt it that they will prefer holding when under that circumstance as everyone always prefer to have some coins on hold.
And at this time, many will still love to hold because of the price of bitcoin is getting high and also taking up a look on the altcoins that are down today.

Oh jeez it’s not shock at all! The crypto currencies are supposed to be like this if they are made decentralised in first place.

Trading should be on going operation and regardless of holding stuff. Rather holding can be made late of trading where if you notice any coin going off the charts then you could just sell it over exchanger by trading it to the highest bidder pair. That’s importsmt to follow and can get us money\profits.

That’s why many investors keep the good portfolio handy so that if any coin is getting recognised then it can be sold immediately at high rates. :-)

Trading is good only if you have some chances to make good money, not for just making 0.001 a day just by trading bitcoin/ethereum, because it is insane.

And you have to deposit a lot of funds in an exchange to make good money, that is why i try to stay away from altcoin trading, you would never know if those exchanges are going to close at anytime, just like it happened on the past.

I really prefer holding, it is much more safe than just being trading, and just look at the charts, holding has been more profitable than trading because all the altcoins are down in their bitcoin price.

it means that probably if you did not trade during the last three months, now you could have at least 60% of your initial investment.

There is no good reason at all to hold anything if it´s going down. Sell and buy later.

You still have to learn more, if you really believe on bitcoin then you will surely Hold it. Remember that if sell your bitcoin you can never but bitcoin at the same price just like you did in the past. For me I will Hold bitcoin because I want to become more secure in the future.

I prefer holding Bitcoin and some strong fundamental altcoin becasue this is more safe actually than day trade. With good money management and good portfolio will be increasing the profit, By portfolio 70% Bitcoin and other 30% altcoin [ ETH, DASH, LTC ,WAVES) will be good idea to maximize profit and to minimize risk.

I will suggest to do both of them, you can money on the long run also some cash to have a nice living

You can't always predict the price when it will go down or high because these crypto coins are normally very volatile so you can't accurately buy at low always. So if you think that your coins good then just hold them not to worry about short-term corrections. Because when BTC prices were around 8500 many people were expecting a correction and they are still holding with USD for the correction to buy at lower but it didn't happen until now.

To be honest, both method are quite useful because holding is a safest way and trading might be risky but then it is quite fun due to its capabilities that it will double your money. Bitcoin value reached $9700 last time and it is not impossible that it will reach $10,000 this end of the year or this coming year 2018.

Good one Better up saving it for a long time at least two months or so to see the difference of the value and trade it afterwards and why would you compare this two OP if you can do both or use it properly with a little bit of strategy.

When you are trading alts with bitcoin as base currency then it would be best if you do it when bitcoin is not having a major move like having a bull run or having a correction because whenever it do so, alts are going down as well but you can protect yourself from losing when you have proper risk management like having stop loss and not being greedy when you are already in profit.

Holding would be best when you don't have the skill and time to do so in trading. There are many people who will immediately trade without even knowing the basics in trading like knowing what is support and resistance and what is trend or consolidation. Some are just following the hype so there is a tendency to panic sell when there is fear, uncertainty and doubt. In this case, there is a tendency to lose more than to earn so the better choice would be holding especially now that bitcoin is having a bull run so alts are in the red.

If for me, I prefer holding than trading. That's because I think trading is a risky job, we can profit and we can lose at any time. I'm the kind of person who does not like such erratic work. I prefer to do monotonous work but it can make sure and fixed money. But that does not mean I'm against trading and do not like it. I will support everyone who do trading, as long as you know how and it can make you profit a lot. However, this is only my opinion. Holding Bitcoin is enough for me.

As for Bitcoins is concerned holding is the best option because each day its pricing is rising as demand from the people are increasing so when You are not much in need of money just hold your bitcoins for almost more than a month (as people these days are doing in the same way) inreturn of which you will get a big profit.

The big thing to me is that trading will incur fees with each trade. I wish there was a no fee exchange kinda like Robinhood for stocks. The only one out there right now is called CoinHood, but they don't offer a lot of the coins that I'm interested in trading. I'm still trying to trade a little bit because if done right, trading will make you a lot more money than simply holding, but that requires so much more research and time though.

Either way, the crypto world is a very hot topic right now and lots of money can be made whether you trade or HODL.

Trading is preferred if you actually have skills and discipline to trade. Trading is riskier than holding, you can earn a lot but of course you can lose a lot as well.

I personally do both i have coins for trading and coins in my wallet that i will not use no matter what happen.

In this bitcoin moment price surge to $10k it will reach more. Yes if you are not in need money the best at this point is to hold your bitcoin. If we can notice price will reach more than of what we expected for, so holding is a good choice in this season.

Although bitcoin technical analysis shows bitcoin should have some correction the price didn't say so, well we know trading bitcoin is a mind game we cant predict what bitcoin wants. The only thing we need to do is putting a stop loss order in case bitcoin have some pullback so that we can minimize our losses.

Trading is really good nowadays because it has a fast move price for bitcoin, bitcoin already reach $11k, and experience back to $8k and now $10k. If we are professional in trading we already earn bitcoin in a short time. More than what we hold. We can hold some of our bitcoin but we can still trade some of it as long as we know when we should sell it.

If we have knowledge about trading skill so we can trade our funds but if don't have enough knowledge how to trade is better hold our funds. To the people who don't have knowledge and skill in trading, holding is the best option. Because I think trading is higher risk than holding our funds, but it's depend on our strategy to get huge profit.

That's why we need to study about trading. Knowledge is the best key to success so if you want to be success face the risk its the part of crypto world.

Trading is more profitable than holding the coins alone because if you will trade it then you will have a lot of advantages that you can have like you can choose which coin you want to trade in order to make your bitcoins grow or you can just decide if how many bitcoin do you want to have after a few weeks of trade.

Trading is for professionals, holding - for newbees. I holded Litecoin since December 2016, and happy that I didn't begin to trade.

I also have opinions like you. Trading now gives us the opportunity to earn unlimited income. We can even earn an unexpected income because Trading gives us a chance to get anything, in doing Trading we are required to perform accuracy and analysis of the coin that we have. If Holding then we have to wait long and without certainty, while by doing Trading then we can get a chance to get a chance at any time. Trading gives us a dynamic thing so we can take every chance we are ready to decide.

Yes i agree on that even if trading is more riaky than holding but we can see trading is really a good way to make a quick return or maybe profit than doing only holding  we can really see the big difference on the  two ways of gaining on cryptocurrency.In my part i really reffer to choose trading than holding but the best thing to do is do both holding and trading for good.

I think the best way now for Bitcoin is holding. The prediction is $20,000 in 5 next years. I believe that will take place

What ever you do that brings you some profit you always need to put some profit on a side and save it. Saving or holding is the same, and if you like to trade you need to have some back up for bad days. I can't separate holding from trading, for me if you wish to do it properly you need to so both. Patience is always required, for trading and holding. I need a long time to figure it out, but now I have some nice back up and amount for trading that brings me some profit. If profit is high I send it to wallet and I'm increasing my saving amount.

This depends on the country, if it is bitcoin, holding is more preferred than trading, but if it is altcoins trading and holding are both 50-50. Cause if you hold,yoi wait for the rise in its price, and then you sell to make your profit out of it.

Trading vs holding the trading is a process of bitcoin and it's including selling and buying and it's fully for online transaction process when get normal currency from bitcoin and that time we need to selling and when you get bitcoin that time buying and holding are called hold the bitcoin when price increase and reach high that time we need to selling the bitcoin.

so well, if you are good at trading why not, sell at ATH and buy at dip. This is always "be scary if the others are greedy and be greedy if anothers  scary" something like that

It depends on your risk to reward emotional management. Some people are good at selling little movement of pricing why others prefer holding for long time. As a trader one can take profit by buying low and sell high and repeating doing this to gather alot of coins, though very risky but it is more profitable. Holder only make money by being patient with the up and down of bitcoin which has happened several times this year and you need strong emotional control not to sell with little profit. If you  are afraid of the up and down of prices, then don't trade just buying and hold for long time.

Well if we are talking about bitcoin than holding it is the best option and the wisest, because bitcoin unlike the other cryptocurrencies does not have a crazy market, its price does not go down, so selling your coin would be the end there will be no coming back after it, the price of the bitcoin will always keep going up no matter what is the price that you sell it for, and you might never have another chance to rebuy it again because the price never goes down, so people should understand that bitcoin trading or selling is a hard decision because selling it will make you regret it each time you see the price rising up.

In current market circumstances everything is more unpredictable than it ever was, and for that reason even well experienced traders find themselves struggling to adequately trade this market.

It goes even so far, that it is more gambling than trading that people do. People expect one thing, and the opposite happens. People go for the opposite next, and then yet again something else happens.

Why taking such risks when you can just hodl and see the market go up throughout the months. If we look back this year, hodling has been the best option, by far. If people want to trade anyway, then they shouldn't cry afterwards.

For me I'll choose trading cause I can't wait too long and it's what needed in holding :)). With trading I can earn Bitcoin very quickly but with holding I need to wait until the price of Bitcoin increase. But trading require more than holding, if you want to earn Bitconi with trading you need to have a lot of experience, trading skills or maybe a trading signal bot :D

Bitcoin is gaining more than any other asset in the world before (I am not counting illegal stuff, short-lived bubbles or dubious financial schemes).

In last 30 days we had +56.50% price rise of BTC - so are you seriously saying that holding bitcoin to get 50% profit is not good enough?

I would rather have solid 50% gain than even higher but not certain profit.

If you have good patience, and have more money and you can reduce your trading time, it will be best to hold.Because hold is gold.But If you have good skills on trading then you can trade better by Altcoin.Easyly profits 10% or 20%.

Depends on your strategy, money and time to spend. If you have enough patience you can hold. If you want spend your time on trading, you have to study and apply.

Trading is a bit broad, when subcontractors and ICOs enter this area, they can be a bit confusing, but the profits and losses are multiplying exponentially. For this reason, it is possible to earn money in a short time and to lose money. My suggestion would be to enter the risk by simply holding the Bitcoin.

Holding is part of trading, why is this a discussion?
I hold several coins for profit in trading.
this may be a little boring but holding is a way to survive.

It depends on how high is your  risk tolerance. Many would prefer holding as it is easier and has less risk in the long run. Holding for long term has been proven to be profitable in the long run. But do take note to have a reliable exchange and always to save your holding to your hardware wallet. Invest in hardware wallet as it is a primary requirement to secure your holdings and to avoid from being hacked. As for trading, one needs to have a trading skill and have the ability to read charts, Using technical indicators is also a must to have a successful trade. Always have a trading plan before doing so as it is riskier  than investing but the reward is also higher so just weigh which type are you comfortable with. 

correction OP bitcoin reaches $11,000 and i think theres no shocking before newyear.

Anyway regarding to your question,the advantage of holding is you dont have to put your
 face into the monitor waiting for your coins to pump,like what your doing intrading..and
in holding all you need is confidence and research for you to success in the coin you trusted.

if we have little capital I think it's better to trade and focus on increasing the amount of bitcoin we have, but if we have much better capital if we keep some of the capital for the future. I think holding back will be more profitable for the long term.

When the price of bitcoin fall down its better to do trading, because you can buy BTC in a lower price and sell it a higher value. Unlike when the value of bitcoin is high, you will just earn a little amount. But if the price of bitcoin is in the peak, its better to hold. Bacause you could exchange it the higher rate.

you are giving bad advice in my opinion.
because first of all being high or being low is arbitrary and you can't make plans on just calling it "high" or "low". what is high? was $2000 high? was $5000? or is $11,000 high? you see any number can be a high at some point and a very low one at other.

the factor you should keep in mind is if bitcoin is on the rise, stable or dropping. for example your suggestion turns into: if it is rising (on the rise) keep holding, if it is dropping sell and if it is stable hold or buy more.
there is of course the timing factor. which means where on the rise are we. every rally, and ever dump has its duration. they never last forever. they all end. and each decision you make must be at the beginning of the period or in the middle and never at the end or you will lose money.

If you have good patience, and have more money then its better to trade rather than holding your coins for  much better income.



huh? i think that is  "old is gold"

overall it fully depends on the person and on the situation but in my case i only do holding because it is much easier and less stressful compared to trading. also im the guy who always cant affrord to loose , whether it is a big amount or small.

Both is promising profit and has some risk, In my opinion if you have free more time, learn trading is will be great idea because trading promising high return if you already expert to analysis the market and also when you enable to control emotion. Use portfolio 80% holding Bitcoin and others 20% of Bitcoin for day trading will be good decision and good trading plan. Also learn other fundamental analysis and risk management by continue will be making consistent profit.

HODL for BTC ETH and other prospects...

It'll totally depend on what cryptocurrency are we talking about , if it's bitcoin then i'll totally hold it since we can see how much it can rise in very short periods of time and i won't be risking the opportunity to get that potential value out of it .
If it's another shit-coin then i'll probably hold a bit than get rid of it .

so easy bro i preferred to invest rather than trading.  Cause we all know on trading we can buy depends in the current proce which is so expensive but worth it also unless you afford it or if you have patience to wait until the value goes down before you can buy a cheap price.  Not the same in investing you can decide which do you preferred  such as long term and short term investment. Depends on your strategy and also very affordable for those who want to gain much profit. That is based on my experience which is no hassle just waiting to increase the price of bitcoin . So both is woth it and also has the same style procedure but the best for me is investing.

I really like your analysis. They are all on point.
However some people are less chanced to go into day trading. Someone who is always engaged at work cannot perform well as a day trader. It doesn't matter if he is a skilled trader or not.
Day trading always needs reseach like you said. And you also need to follow the news.

Hence people like this are better off HODLing

Trading if you want money quicker, but more riskier, hodl for long term and lower risk returns.

Those who were holding bitcoin when the price was around thousand dollars made a good return and in my case i diversified my investments to some alt coins thinking i could make a good profit rather than holding bitcoin and now it was one of the biggest mistake i did as the price moved so high and the profit that i could make by holding was unparalleled.

The only thing trading can do for you which holding cannot do is it earns you profits even when the price of Bitcoin is dropping down. I'm talking about altcoin trading ofcourse, because it is not possible to get profits in Bitcoin trading if its price is dropping.

It could let to loss everything, but it not gonna happen if you HODL!

If you suck in trading just like me and lacks patience just like me, it's better to hold coins than trading.

First of all you should learn that posting a one-liner like that will not lead your posts to be constructive at all.
Second One does not just hold coins. Bitcoins may be good idea to hold for long term. But most altcoins are volatile and are good to sell and buyback when dumps happen. That way you can recycle your money to get more money in return.

Totally wrong concept. Trading does not mean you will make money quickly. It depends on your trading methods and what you are trading on that how much profits you will make and in how much time.

Bitcoin now is on pump and its too rapid compare how alts are doing so I think looking on current btc progress it would be more practical to hold instead of trading instead of risking on trade which can give you huge profit but also higher risk of losing.

if we look at the total number of people around the world that own bitcoin (which I have no clue exactly how many people there are), the fact is that only a small percentage of those people bought and held bitcoin from below $200’s.
There’s a large majority of new people that have purchased bitcoin for the first time above $1,000 – that’s why the price went from $1k to $3k in just a few weeks. It didn’t just magically happen. People had to buy at those levels for the price to go up.
And because of human nature, people tend to buy into something when it’s hot or popular. That usually means when the price is high. And a very high percentage of those people that buy high end up panic selling when bitcoin’s price falls by 50%+ So buy and HOLD is the best

Trading is really not about day trade, holding is really part of it and I believe when you have target price on your traded coins you will surely hold it, you don't sell it at loss of course. People should realized the importance of holding because for me it is more profitable than to day trade.

if you know how to trade trading is the way how to grow fast your btc. but if you need to put in safe your btc just take holding.. holding is the option to people who dont play risky...

If we have good strategy, then why dont we try apply it in bitcoin trading?
Always buy in high price also can make you loss anyway. So dont buy in any point, just buy in low price is recommended.

i would hold half, and trade the other half, of course paird with BTC. so that when i making profits on btc, it actaully making slightly bigger gain than just holding it.

I do a lot of trading, but sometimes it seems as though it would be just as good to buy and hold. If the price goes up and you sell to buy back later, sometimes the price just keeps going up and you miss out on those gains. if you know how to manage your investment then you can gain much profits.

If you're talking about bitcoins then holding is the best option that will make you a good profit and you can make the most out of it. As the price of bitcoin during these days is really rising like anything and it is estimated that it'll further keep rising in the coming years which is a really good reason for holding it and be greedy! ;D And if one plans to hold it then he should have a secure wallet to hold it, otherwise there are high chances that the wallet might get hacked and all your money might just vanish as there is no way to get those bitcoins back!
But if we talk about altcoins, day trading is the best for you if you have ample of time and are ready to do some work!! But if one doesn't has a lot of time that they can be updated from time to time then theres no harm in holding those coins but not for a long period of time instead hold it for 2 to 3 days and that might work too!!
All the best!!

If you have a short-term target then in such volatile period, I would recommend trading in short as well as the long way in order to earn the profit in rising as well as falling market environment. Even if I am the fan of fundamental analysis, you should also consider technical analysis as you have targets in the short term where technical analysis works best in my opinion. Holding is recommended for the long run and rarely pays in the short term.

If you are the risky type of person then you should go for trading, I'm not saying I'm afraid I might loose my earnings but I just want to make sure that I am gaining or profiting instead of more losses so I'd rather hold my coins than sell them for trading.

Much better both method you do, the trading and holding. In trading there's a spot of earning if you are good trader especially in day trader but this is so risky compared to holding for a long run. In trading you must know the strategy and analized very well or else it will lost all your fund. Very good decision for me if you do both trading and holding let say 20% of your fund in trading and the rest is saving.

It is really worth it to try those two so we cannot miss the opportunity for the possible profit in holding and trading so we can both play with the volatility of the market and also the potential price of the coin in the long term run so it is best to just do a great money management plan for your own money in the future so you cannot miss any opportunity.

If you hold the Bitcoin or any crypto coin it will make anybody rich in a short time. But due to my fooling nature, i always make a silly mistake in trading so, i can't make more. Since when in two years back if I hold the Bitcoin so till now I must make at least $30000. So, I suggest all always hold the Bitcoin and the other like Ethereum, BCH, Doge, Bancor or any highly demanded and own blockchain.

Some decision of here in forum say that you should do trading and holding coins for a long run, yes they are right used this two possible earning process so you don't missed the profitability of this cryptocurrencies. But don't put all your money in cryptocurrency investment 500$ per week is for me big enough for this.

Both holding and trading is a good decision for me, if you have enough fund for this much better it is a really good start of a business. Holding for a long term is profitable but it takes some time before you gained, but this is less risk not liked trader especially in day trader you've earned huge by that day but it is so risky. Trading is also take a time of searching the best coin you pick up and analyzing coins.

Of course trading is preferred when you don't need using fiat in the near future
If you are in need of fiat,you can exchange it directly regardless the bitcoin price
So it depends on our need,we are the one who decide between trading and holding

Trading would be very effective if one does it right, however some skills would be usefull for passive income by trading, I recommend holding a coin till the value goes 2-3x and most of  the time the coin will get its all time high, just invest in some of the best projects around and in a few years you will will some very good gains.

If we look at this year, then trading could have been quite profitable, but the knowledge and understanding of this market to yield these gains, go far beyond what the regular person is capable of. And btw, you consider holding to be a time consuming practice, but prefer to start a business? These words don't add up. The far majority of the people here are far better off just buying and holding Bitcoin, because in this market trading isn't something you should be focusing on as regular Bitcoiner. Why taking huge risks where you will likely end up with a lower number of coins after each week, while holding in current bullish market allows you to see the price go up consistently? Choice is easy to make, but people make things difficult for themselves.

In this period, holding is the better option to do ,especially when there's an evolution of the price and consequently there will be an inflation of money for everyone who owns bitcoin.

Very good analysis, I agree with you. Trading is not as easy as regular users think and there's a huge risk of losing money. Also it is time consuming, with crypto's volatile markets everything goes too fast and thus you need to concentrate and stare on computer screens fpr too much time. Hodling is far more relaxing and can be equally profitable since cryptocoins are in a bull market and prices are expected to rise even further.

if i have more than 10,000$ will simply hold it because most of money away in fee.

my hurt is weak so that i only hold it

Take a look first too, if what is coming in the few days, like for example, Christmas is fast approaching. You can comprehend or conclude that many traders or bitcoin users will be converting coins because of the season, then bitcoin's price will surely go down, or maybe some will hold, and after the year, it will surely dump.

Usually, trade will be favored, when bitcoin experiences wild fluctuations.
As currently, in a relatively short period of time, we do know Bitcoin is capable of volatility in the form of 10x changes in price versus the US dollar.

Trading requires; proper analysis of the currency; much time and effort on trading platform- trying to get a good entry and exit points, while holding on the other hand requires little or no effort; as an investor, an analyst or a fund manager can just tell you the best time to put in money and relax for the capital to yield profit. I think i prefer holding in this case.

They are somehow the same for ne because on trading there are two things, you can either loss profit or gain profits because not all coins that you will trade will be successful that has a bigger price. While holding on the other hands you can also lose some or gain some because the value of bitcoins and all the other coins are volatile they always goes up or down. And the main difference for me is trading are active while holding are passive income because you just need to hold it and do nothing.

For me I doing both with portfolio Holding BTC 70% because the risk of hold it will be lower than day trading. And other 30% for day trade with aim to increase amount of BTC. Day trade indeed has bigger risk but also promising higher profit. By doing  Day trade with good money management and risk management will make consistent profit.

Doing both of them are better than only do one thing. You could earn profits from both of them and they are all the best way to earn Bitcoins.

But if you knew to yourself that your lack of skills and knowledge in trading then just hold it.
Well the fact that some traders have at least some knowledge but still they experienced huge loses and it seems trading don't favor their side so they just leave trading alone and just be a bag hodler.  Sometimes when you're not good in one thing better to find and shift to others that can let you grow.

Holding is of course the easiest way and with Bitcoin probably a pretty good choice.

Trading requires knowledge, experience and removing emotion from the equasion. If you can do that, there are nice profits to be made. Trading bots are used a lot because they can trade 24/7 and adjust quickly based on patterns.

Trading must do all of the time and if you want to hold, just hold it without any circumstances. Holding is the best thing to do with bitcoin and it has been with several challenges but it has been surpassed and bitcoin is still good and kicking. It's even shocking that there are people who are saying that bitcoin can reach $20,000 before this year ends but I highly doubt it.

I usually call holding the Lazy man way since it is less risky and does not involve any activity than to just watch how it is fairing in your wallet based on its value to the USD. Trading as you said requires you to learn and the good thing is that once you set your mind to learn, anyone can do well. Once you do not have a strategy when it comes to trading, then you are gambling which is what some people do these days and they end up losing a lot. As far as I am concerned, they are both good based on how far you are willing to go, but for me, trading is just better maybe since I was able to learn and making a lot daily from it.

Trading is the fast way to generate income with bitcoin and it has a little risky too. while the investment is a little slow way to generate a high income but it is more safe way then the trading and has no risk and it has comfortable and you have time to manage your investment while in trade sometime you lost.

I'd rather to hold, trading is too risky and I can't handle it.
Once I tried margin trading and lose over 1000$, so I won't be doing
it anymore unless I met a professional-

Over the past year, BTC price is around $200 and if you managed to buy at that time with the given market value and still holding with the current price, then that's an incredible return. This gives HOLDING an advantage rather than TRADING. The principle of holding is just buy and pray for the future that it will reap incredible gains. It is a very popular tactic that can be use both by new or old timers. And with BTC and Altcoin prices grow in such a short period of time, then we can easily understand why this kind of approach is more accepted rather than any kind of investment tactic. Wherein trading, it requires a lot of knowledge, experience, effort and time that makes things more complicated than it actually sounds. However, as per my standpoint and understanding, both instrument is suited to a particular cycle, HOLDING = LONG-TERM and TRADING = SHORT-TERM. If you used both instrument correctly, it will give you better results.

It actually depends on what standards one set in order for him or her to consider to trade. We all know that we just do no trade, because that would be careless. We often look at the increase and decrease of price. Now, we have certain standards if the increase is enough for us and that's the time we trade. For the mean time, we hold onto the coin that we have.

Trading feels like useless when the market goes in madness , move like 20% to 40% within a week .
Just compare it when you do trade in that interval and just simply holding it .
The result holding will have better profit , even so far! I do have experienced in the last few weeks , and it was full of pain.

In case of Bitcoins holding is always preferred over trading as we can see that bitcoin has travelled a long way from just a few dollars to $11k this week in just a matter of years.You just need confidence and patience to hold bitcoins.Now in case of altcoins trading would be a much better option because altcoins can crash and we should trade it before it loses it's value.

The thing about all of them is just the risk level. We hold with the expectation of seeing the value increase, and we also trade with the same expectations. The difference here is that trading can help you increase what you are holding in quantity and quality as well as decrease if you do it wrongly.

Holding on the other hand, you only have the quality at your disposal which is the value of what you are holding increasing or not. It just depends on the level of risk each person is willing to take.

This primarily depends on the abilities, skill, and determination you have when it comes to trading since it may involve a series of requests that differ from one service to another. Some people might require you to make campaign signatures for them or to translate certain sentences to a specified language. Though the pay may be high, you are also dealing with risk since there is always the tendency of your client scamming you after you are done with their requested service.

Holding bitcoins on the other hand requires time and patience. Though the risk might be similar to trading, holding bitcoins is based on the price of bitcoins in the market. In the event that the price drops, expect your coins to drop in price as well. It really depends on what you prefer to do but personally I would suggest holding and doing trading at the same time to maximize outputs and profits.

That depends on the currency, if it is bitcoin then you should never trade. Just hold them for as long as possible.

Holding  is better then daily trade.Because hold is gold.hold give you 2x 3x profits.Yet if you need small profit daily then do trade daily.

Yes, put lesser amount in trading so you can save more of your investment and wait until the value increases so you can have more profit in trading. in that way saving some for investment and making smart moves in trading will make you more profitable.

There is no way that we can make a comparison in between trading and holding. There is no such thing which is common in both of them. Trading is just like buying and selling of different kind of kinds based on the market analysis. Trading is no doubt very much technical thing and it can result in loss as well as profit too based on your decisions. Holding is something keeping your coins in your wallet for long period of time and doing nothing with those coins.

It depends on how you handle your actions to take profit/loss in a coin you want to trade/hold to.

As you said both of them are different because when you holding the bitcoins the profit of your investment will be based on the bitcoin price over the years but when you trading your profit is based on your skills many traders will make huge amount of money in one month but it needs few years for that profit to attain through holding the bitcoins.So we can trade if we have the trading skills or it is better to hold our crypto currency for some years.

I was trader, not a good one, but I was. For long term its not good to be just a trader, I figure it out on my experience, at least for me and people like me. For a long time I have some strategy and its going good for me, less trading more holding. It's important to know when to get in and out in trading, if you do it everyday then you need a lot of time. For people like me with less time good research is very important then get into trade and wait long enough to take some good profit.

It depending on their requirements also their skill.. Most of the bitcoin user wants to get a more profit.. I thought holding is the best choice for users.. Because the bitcoin value is now get more than $11000 USD..It may get high in few days.. So if you holding it now you will definitely get more profit than now..
Then trading is depend on you only.. Trading is best choice for now but you cannot get more profit than the holding BTC..

You don't need to just do one thing, you can have the majority of your assets on hold and have a little for trading, if you increase your trading percentage, then you're on the right path.

people holding bitcoin when price is falling down because they get a profitable amount.  people trading bitcoin in all time. holding bitcoin has two side....  one is more profit when price will increase another loss when price will fall down than previous price.

Yes, Trading is a method of earning bitcoin that demands some good knowledge from you about crypto currencies. You should know about maximum digital coins in order to buy and sell right coin at right money and make yourself some good amount.

Trading is making people rich just by few clicks but they all are those who have grip over crypto market. I prefer holding of bitcoin and trading with altcoins.

Trading will not make you loss when you proceed with a stuff.You can gain a stupid about trading by this forum itself.Holding is always greater than trading.Because holding will always make you profit.

I personally think of trading to be the best thing one can ever do. It does not require that much of efforts and hard work like you need to do in case of trading or mining. It is just a tension free task which can help you in making rich. The market price is directly proportional to that of demand of bitcoin in the market. As the demand is increasing, market price is also increasing as a result of this which is actually make you wealthier.

I used trading as side job, and i think to be active in this forum, like follow up for bounty and airdrop is more profitable than trading, remembered that i only have a low amount of assets

Yes because holding anything might gonna end up for us to lose some(except with BTC) but there are some potential alts anyways that can make us became more wealthy if we choose to hold em up. But Trading is truly the best on this since we can earn more profits by circulating our capital to trade with the alts on dump and earn whenever they will get a huge pump on the time comes on them, Times goes by we can became wealthier since we make our bankroll generates more unlike just saving it where the volume doesn't move at all.

For me both trading and holding is good to make money, but for me holding is more good rather than trading, because i am not a good or an expert trader so i am choosing holding, and i think when we hold our coins for longtime maybe 2years or 3yearrs we can totally be rich in the future.

Want to trade or hold a coin equally well, if you are trading can get a daily profit but if only hold your coin maybe this long-term investment

it depends on you, but just make an advice for you that now the price of bitcoin get rise every seconds, if you want to invest in trading you can use 10 or 25% from your btc balance. but personally, it not recommended, look at the bitcoin price for sure. i think it will be skyrocketing again.

I would recommend holding, regardless of the price movement the end result is the price will move upward.
When you are willing to hold longer that will give you a lot of profit like those who invested in the early phase, we should not doubt the capacity of bitcoin so we will get a better payout in the long run as the value continues to grow, for me I would be more aggressive with holding now that I have seen this great success of bitcoin.

Yap nice to hear to your question but trading and holding is a different system holding is a ling time profit and trading is a short time passive income.

Trading and holding both are profitable but trading is quite risky than the holding.you need skills and good experience   for the trading and also need  good knowledge about the cryptocoins.but in holding you don't need any types of skills and experience,you just need the sufficient knowledge about the cryptoworld.And holding is definitely profitable in the future so i  think holding is better than the trading.

In the event that we have great system, at that point why dont we attempt apply it in bitcoin exchanging?

Continuously purchase in high value additionally can make you misfortune in any case. So dont purchase in any point, simply purchase in low cost is suggested.

Since I started trading some percentage of my earnings and everything I hold; I have been able to increase my number of bitcoins in a short while. That is the essence; holding will not do that but can only get the value to keep increasing. However, with trading, as you are having an increase in the value, you are also having an increase in the quantity which to me sounds a lot better. All that is required is learning and no one is above or below that.

Both options has risk, because even if you hold bitcoin you can see the price going down, something that happens for while, since its part of bitcoin system.Trading is a risky attempt to get more bitcoins as well grow money faster no matter the value of bitcoin. A lot people did lost the opportunity to be rich because they risked into trading instead holding, but a lot people were able to make and get extra coins.

Trading vs holding the most discussed topic. Well it depends on the individual whether to hold or to trade.I feel for long term holding is better option and trading is for short term like a gambling. Holding can expect some profit to our investment. Which is not sure in day trading.

I think when it comes to bitcoin I prefer holding because its price is rapidly growing, so,  why do you still need to make an effort to trade if bitcoin itself is already making an earnings for you? If you know what I mean.

for you Bitcoin users, holding is a very good way.
but if you are a fan of altcoin, you better trade it.  ;)

Trading can be very risky, so is holding. However, the risk differs as trading exposes you more to high volatility risk as you have to make some decisions based on your level of technical analysis and own up to it. As long as you know what you are doing, trading is good, whichever form of trading one wants to do. The more the risk, the more you can gain from trading and the more you can also lose as well.

trading can bring us more money from using up and down of coins, we earn money much faster than holding but we can use much money it we trade fail, but holding is safer and we can earn long term profit, but it takes a long time.

Actually It depends on what you do. If you have a long-term plan, it will be better to hold. otherwise if you want to make regular altcoin transactions then trading is good . My choice is trading so I am trading Regularly

I think that if you wanna get a big profit, you have to be good at both of skill. Holding Bitcoin and trading Civic, Neo and ICOs new tokens is my advice for you.

Trading can be very risky, so is holding. However, the risk differs as trading exposes you more to high volatility risk as you have to make some decisions based on your level of technical analysis and own up to it. As long as you know what you are doing, trading is good, whichever form of trading one wants to do. The more the risk, the more you can gain from trading and the more you can also lose as well.

I want to correct you here
Get big Profit
or you can accept big Loss you should go for trading
Trading is always hi risk that is why there is high gain and high loss.

Trading is like purchasing of bitcoin with current price and you have to quote more than current price to get more offers.Holding after trading is the best key to succeed in bitcoin. I often say this to my friends, sell the bitcoin only you need of money or else just hold it till as much as you can. Holding gives you a goldern stone for a rock .Holding is the key to success.

Hold is not a good idea never, never, never....


The price is high now but tomorrow could be down...


some times go so low athat any one understand...



i remember when go down to 200 dollars...


crasy...  right?

Yes, as mentioned trading has got the potential to make an user gains big as well end up losing big. This will surely depend upon the users skills in trading and the capital investment one can afford. Recent days has provided users with a bigger profit on holding than trading.

yeah, better do a daily trading evnthough you just get 10% but keep stay aware of price movement. holding is cant be trusted for now, the price is unpredictable, but if you hold your bitcoin for week or a month, i think it good enough to give you more profit in the next month, but if you want to hold altcoin, never do that. it will sweep your time and funds.

Bitcoin is a digital currency system and it's a process are called trading ,mining and one more step is holding .the trading bitcoin means of selling and buying a bitcoin ,the selling means sell the bitcoin and buying the bitcoin in actual price by quote one amount, but holding bitcoin means we hold the bitcoin and when price increase like now we argue and selling the bitcoin are called holding and these are trading vs holding.

I'm pretty sure that anyone that have wasted his time in trading and spent countless hours looking at charts and getting informed about the background of persons or exchanges that he traded with is regretting all of that effort he spent because people were able to make much more profit without even sweating it if they were able to hold to their coins and just avoided the risks .

The profit / security ratio is much higher in holding than trading, because the value of bitcoin is still growing. As a result, by holding your money you can only win money. On the other hand, by practicing trading you can win or lose cents of dollar in a single day, which is not stable at all. But I should mention  that there are a lots of people who have mastered this field and its techniques perfectly to be able to make from trading a stable source of money.

I'll hold if the market starts to get down.

I can relate on this though I won't say t hat I have wasted all of my time for my trades just to check everything went okay. It's good to hold some of your bitcoins while having some idea that you should start trading even the market gets high or low.

Do trading because you can have a higher chance to become rich in a faster progress rather than holding because you will just become disappointed when you are holding because the price can go down lower to your bought price which is not a good thing to see for an investor.

trading will be good if the coin we buy moves actively so that from this movement we can take advantage, down the coin we also can take advantage of here.

That really depends on the coin you have right now. There are many people who have been hooding bitcoin from a long time and now they are like millionaires when would sell them. And many are those who trade it on daily basis. What is your need? This will explain you what you have to do. Don’t hold any altcoin as they don’t have better repute in holding but yes bitcoin is more than amazing.

It depend that holding or trading. those people risk to holding bitcoin because we dont know if the bitcoin will rise continue Like now bitcoin is high and low pricing so that we dont know if bitcoin is good to keep now.if you ask me the good plan of that is keep the 40% of bitcoin and the other 60% is to trading so you canot regret if the bitcoin will down pricing because the other of that will be trade.
Sometimes i risk holding bitcoin but sometimes i like to trade it because of the high pricing.

I am not sure what you are referring to as moving actively but one thing is that every good coin will always have a good steady increase in the long run and whether you are holding or trading totally depends on your level of knowledge. Trading is very good if you are knowledgeable as you can keep increasing your capital more with that, but that does not make holding less good as well, considering the risk of trading, most especially without knowledge.

If you think that you don't have skills and knowledge in trading and you're not a well experienced then cut it out as early as you can. Holding is the safest, yes the return of investment is quite slow but you can assure that you can still get it. Just do trading when you're an equip one that ready to go to war.

yes trading is risky you have to take that for you to have a good income but in holding we can say that your money is has a assurance that will have a profit , but in trading you have to take any risk of it even it my result in win or loose.

Trading is a risky business, but i think holding is not too risky.  :)
You can buy Bitcoin and hold for long term.
If you want to invest for short time you can buy some good Altcoin. 
I suggest all always hold Ethereum, Waves, NEO or other popular Altcoin.
But try it your own risk. Thanks.

I would not consider holding as the best thing to do, but I will consider it as a best thing to do instead, if you do not have a single idea about trading.

Definitely, in that case, you will be doing yourself more harm than good since you will always end up losing than having any profit. Trading requires knowledge, which will allow you to have a strategy on every trade which can give one a lot if you are good. Considering the fact that it gives you more in the long run, if you can do it well, I consider it the best.

The best strategy we have to follow always is if you find good potential coin then start holding the coin after purchasing because within days it cannot able to give you good profit. So as long as you hold the price of the coin will increase and you can make some decent profit on your investment.

As of now, it is best to stay out of trading of altcoins. If you want to trade, it is better to trade in coins like BTC, BCH, LTC and others which have actual good future ahead of them in 2018. Other altcoins might get rekt due to high volatility of Bitcoin and may be worth pennies pretty much in start of 2018. There are also coins, which you can hold for long term, but do a complete research before investing into one.

Holding should take place when you are comfortable with whatever coin you are investing in. It is you that will see possibility of the coin hence you hold. For all I care it could be ICO that will struck a cord with you in term of profitability!

If I had enough time, of course I would choose trading. Why trading? because trading is active so it will generate greater profits from holding. Sell at a high price and buy it back when the price is low.

Look at the bitcoin price right now has reached more than 16k, this is a golden opportunity to take profit.

Both are good in the currencies i prefer to do trading because it is simple and easy with in seconds you can make money. i like to trade these currencies because it is the time to buy and sell crypto currencies once you get experienced in trading then you will be happy from this i prefer trading instead of holding.

actually its a very difficult question to answer.trading?or holding?to my mind its depend from person to person.
if you have enough time with less busy and less strssfull job and a wide spread knoledge about criptocurrencies and trading techiniqs ..i think your choice should be trading.you can gain daily massive profit by trading.
but if you r a newbie to tjis field or still studing this field with stressfull life with a busy job and if you are a person with less paitent/aggressive mind i would like to recommend holding for you.
i like to add another successfull suggesion ..if you are a trader..hold half of your capital and use only another for trading.this method will accelarate your earnings

Despite the commencement of trading on stock exchanges, bitcoin's volatility has not yet diminished. So I prefer to just keep the bitcoins and not trade them.

Oh please! Yeah, trading can bring you more bucks once you are good and you can imbibe the skills you have learned to do it properly. However, we have to understand as well that trading without knowledge is as losing all your funds because that is what would really happen eventually.

If you are holding for the long term, it is less risky and once you know that you are holding a coin with a huge prospect, there is no way it won't grow in value even if the worst is expected, but at least still better than trading blindly.

Yes, coins differ and considering that bitcoin is well established and looking at the fact that there is still a lot of prospect for it in the future, you can as well just hold and go ahead with your other daily activities that would keep bringing you money.

After all, the essence of trading is to earn a living as it requires a lot of effort and it is some huge level of work in itself. In that case, for someone who is learned about trading, and probably that is their main job, then good, otherwise, just buy and hold. I would say at first I started seeing trading as a waste of time when I really had no strategy.

I was busy doing the lows and highs kind of trading and honestly it was so crazy that sometimes, I even started getting sick. However, with some learning and some strategies, things really changed and then I started trading without much issue. I do not need to sit on the chart all day. I already know where to enter a trade and what to expect and my alarms are there to do the work for me. After all these, holding is the best option for anyone.

Hodling is more preferable for me. I've discovered that whenever I trade my coins because I think I've gotten sufficient gain, the price would just soar such that I begin to regret my decision. So I decided the I would divide my portfolio into two: one for trading an the other for holding. And it has been working for me. Literally, my profit grows daily.

If you are holding, keep doing holding. It just takes your patience, if you're good at it you'll get something nice later. Trading can be done while you're holding bitcoin, keep trading. Holding is done while trading, it will not interfere with your trading, both will be very helpful.

Under what circumstances the BTC is being held depends on your balance, stock, market analysis etc. BTC is a big shock to reach $ 10k before the new year, your opinion here is very helpful. But your shock now doubles. BTC prices are rising in the way of heart attacks. It seems that the 2018 BTC price is going to be $ 20k approx. So hold and happy trading.

Invest in some good coins and forget it. You will be surprised after one or two years. Hold for the good.

On my opinion i think you can do trading and holding at the same time. Do hold some of your bitcoin because as time passes by, its price continues to rise but with minimal fluctuations. Then trade the remaining. Buy when its price drop then sell when it goes up again even with 10-15% profit, then do it over and over to increase your bitcoin. Plan wisely and use the right strategy so you can grow it. 

Both trading and holding can give you a profit. Holding can give you a profit without doing anything but it will take time before you get you ideal profit; while trading can give you a higher profit if you have a good skill in term of trading.

For me its depends on the situation,
When you see that bitcoin are continue in moving up its better if you just hold your bitcoin and wait until you are satisfied with the amount.
But if the bitcoin are moves up and down,
Then its better if you do trading because by here you can earn more with just doing the best that you can.

Yes you are right. Another Advice again that I can do for me to earn more. It is better to sell it when I am already satisfied with the price then buy back if the price will drop.

True. But it really depends on what the person wanted to do. It is based in your personal preference. I for one, prefer holding rather than trading. Even though I made some decent profits when I tried trading, I just feel like it isn't my thing. I'm not comfortable doing it. I can't handle the worries, the risks, the excitement when trading. I would rather buy some coin then hold it for a long long time. I'll just come back to it when it starts to skyrocket. Hassle free.

Both are profitable if you work smartly and choose carefully the coins to hold and have the needed skills and knowledge about trading. Actually there are some promising crypto currencies like BTC and ETH which have the most promising potential so it is better to hold them for long term.

For me bitcoin better for long term holding , where other coins such as ethereum , ripple , steller lumens etc for trading.
Based on My personal analysis bitcoin still has a lot of space to grow and it cost a lot of time.
Where altcoins usually get played by people who looking for opportunity  to make money in daily basis.

I'd definitely hold the top coins such as BTC, ETH, XRP, LTC, etc. as they are trusted and still have a long way to go. On the other hand, I would trade volatile alt coins with a very small portion of my funds 'for fun'.

for me is trading is easy and fast because you can see how much is my profit then when it comes to holding it takes a long time when do i gonna sell it.

That’s true, sometimes, trading is like a bad decision cause you might investing at the wrong time when you’re supposed to be HOLDING. I prefer Holding too, cause I have made lots and lots of profits more than I can ever make from trading by just trading.

Whenever price is going up steadily, I stop trading and just leave my Bitcoins in my wallet, but when it becomes stable, I start trading to increase what I have.

The goal of most investors generally is to buy low and sell high. This can result in two quite different approaches to equity investing.

One approach is described as "trading." Trading involves following the short-term price fluctuations of different stocks closely and then trying to buy low and sell high. Traders usually decide ahead of time the percentage increase they're looking for before you sell (or decrease before they buy).

While trading has tremendous potential for immediate rewards, it also involves a fair share of risk because a stock may not recover from a downswing within the time frame you'd like—and may in fact drop further in price. In addition, frequent trading can be expensive, since every time you buy and sell, you may pay broker's fees for the transaction. Also, if you sell a stock that you haven't held for a year or more, any profits you make are taxed at the same rate as your regular income, not at your lower tax rate for long-term capital gains.

Be aware that trading should not be confused with "day trading," which is the rapid buying and selling of stock to capitalize on small price changes. Day trading can be extremely risky, especially if you attempt to day trade using borrowed money. Individual investors frequently lose money by trying to use this approach.

A very different investing strategy—called buy-and-hold—involves keeping an investment over an extended period, anticipating that the price will rise over time. While buy-and-hold reduces the money you pay in transaction fees and short-term capital gains taxes, it requires patience and careful decision-making. As a buy-and-hold investor, you generally choose stocks based on a company's long-term business prospects. Increases in the stock price over years tend to be based less on the volatile nature of the market's changing demands and more on what's known as the company's fundamentals, such as its earnings and sales, the expertise and vision of its management, the fortunes of its industry, and its position in that industry.

Buy-and-hold investors still need to take price fluctuations into account, and they must pay attention to the stock's ongoing performance. Naturally, the price at which you buy a stock directly affects the potential profits you'll make from its sale. So it makes sense to buy the stock at a price you believe is reasonable. While you hold the stock, it's also important to watch for signs that your investment isn't going the direction you planned—for example, if the company regularly misses its earnings targets, or if developments in the industry turn bleaker.

Sometimes you'll decide, after reviewing the company's fundamentals, that it's worthwhile to ride out a slump in price and wait for a stock to recover. Other times, you may decide you'll have better returns if you sell your holding and invest elsewhere. Either way, it's important to stay on top of the stocks you own by paying attention to news that could affect their value.

BTC is always better to hold and to wait when price goes upwards. not miss moment when he be on the peak in order sell

For now seems the price is not really going up, it cannot sustain the trend and it has stable at $10,000.
At least we are not seeing it down anymore, from here we will go to the moon so this time where the price is stable gives a chance to buy more.
When the price starts to be in bullish trend, I would borrow money to buy and sell for an easy profit.

Actually, I think that today the market is unstable, but when it comes back to normal, no one can accurately predict. hope for some opportunities in the near future, I believe that they do not make sense. Therefore, I transferred my funds from Bitcoin to more reliable coins.

I think i will still prefer more to trade rather than just hodling because i feel more secure and have more power in trading because i can earn alot from it, but in holding it's a long term.

Trading is such a full time and attentive job,Being successful in trading need skills to predict the market and take right decisions.Holding is risky if you didn't protect the funds with strong security tools,holding with patience lead good profit.Can select according to skills and schedule which one best for you wither trading or holding.

Trading is an important way in bitcoin earnings and a trading people’s should definitely have a good patience level it will help a lot to earn more profits than normal traders so patience is very important for trader.

Some of the experiences gathered myself!
3 MISSING BASIC MUSIC 90% TRADER DOUBLE FAVORITE

This is a typical story that you can catch a lot on the investment market. The person who just last month showed you a 100% profit, maybe hunger for Margin. People may be excited about the plan to buy a home, buy a car, suddenly lamented by the team's steering. Despite the lack of accurate statistics, it is estimated that only 5% of market participants achieve the goal. I find that we often make the following mistakes when entering the market:

Easy to target with your own.

Vietnam Holding is an average investment fund with an average annual return of 34% over the past five years, just as long as they have become one of the best foreign funds in the market.

Meanwhile, we act like wild blooded wolves, always want to increase profits quickly. That means that what we need is long-term interests, but short-term. You enter the market, buy with 2% target will sell, but ... 2% "wait? ", 3%" are still up ". Finally, a red column appeared, prices plummeted, rushed to the "1% interest margin is also" ... do not match. You sweat "re-collection root right away, no interest" ... still does not match. Finally cut the hole 5%.

In fact, I have a guy you are familiar with holding a billion. Do you know how it used 1 billion buy XRP, buy 14H20 at 18H profit up to 30%. Out of 300 million is 2 years to work "sweat boiling tears of it," but pinned. The next morning the god of death appeared, the price "dropped as fast as pants". At that time the acquaintance reclaimed money, summing up losses of 200 million.

Eat enough, reach the target, do not greed and then hug.

for safety we believe that holding are some of the best thing that we can used for and take for that cause we all know that this is may also look so hard at first but in trading you have to face every risk of it on how you are able to make some money on it.

it will always depend on your risk appetite, risk reward ratio. the riskier, the greater profit you'll have, the more conservative, let you gain the typical. a good position in trading, you can take away more than 50% profit in a single day, that's a good sum of money compared on sitting and holding.
however, if you are not the typical person who can monitor every single move of the market, then you can still make profit with holding, just do not expect much.

Bitcoin future is bright and promising  therefore hold your bitcoin but if you have enough you  can trade with small percentage of your bitcoin

It's totally true :). If you accept more risks you'll gain more profit from this world. Holding is the safer way to earn money than trading but it take too much time for every crypto to rise to a new ATH price. But with trading everyone can earn a lot of money daily if they're good trader but trading is not easy as people still think cause there are a lot of traps in trading from the whales :)

I like to do trading in my free times because it is generally more profitable.
But sometimes holding gives much more return, especially when some of my coin suddenly jumped 2x 3x overnight.

Trading too much can get you addicted and if you get overconfident, you can lose a lot of money on losing trades.
And it is very very bad for physical and mental health too.

Trading need attention and  with small amount it need more efforts to skills to earn profit,If trading take it profession more profitable just be punctual and be update. While holding is good for long term and make sure to hold funds with proper security tools.

These are two different ways of investing so consider how you fit in to make a long term investment with it. Trading will be suitable for those who have a lot of time to analyze technical and market monitoring so that they can buy and sell in short time in order to make a profit. Hold is easier because you only need to study the crypto copper to invest very carefully initially and then just wait and not pay too much attention to the evolution of the market.

if you have entered into an ICO and a coin is a new one with low market cap and low volume than I would prefer holding but if the coin is into top 100 coins holding don`t make any sense because for those coins to make 10x or more a miracle is needed.

Both are profitable if you work smartly and choose carefully the coins to hold and have the needed skills and knowledge about trading. Actually there are some promising crypto currencies like BTC and ETH which have the most promising potential so it is better to hold them for long term.

Yes i agree that this are really profitable ways to earn in crypto world. Because trading and holding has really a connection. Because before we do trading we must hold first and wait for the right price to sell upon our expected price to gain. I believe that if we do both holding and trading we can really earn a huge amount of profit.

Not only have the connection but also do really give the chance to give you money or profits if you do have the skills to do such thing.Long term and short terms can be done at the same time if you can utilize it well then its really an advantage because you can able to picture out market scenarios that can potentially give you money.The hard part is learning up these trading ways cant be learned on a short period of time.

Holding is just a bank is need time and patience on when the price is high that's the to sell it.  At least some people  are suggesting that a buy-and-hold strategy may be the most effective.But are those users who are so quick to dump off their Bitcoin holdings being a bit too brash,
there is an argument for buying and holding on to your Bitcoin or other digital currency assets.

you decide :)
research or read about it or observe the price chart
well but for me I do trust bitcoin so much but I also do trading the most important thing is you stake a money that you can afford to lose or you can live normal life without it

Now very risk for trading.so, hold or sell your btc now.i think now holding is better for all of us.

Trading crypto currency in the stock market is also the same as buying low then persisting for a certain period and buying and selling is also called trading. It all depends on what you mean by trading and ownership, in my opinion buying Bitcoin and holding your wallet or in your exchange account for a delayed period when its value is appreciated by you and then sold with profit is nothing but trade

Trading with crypto is more volatile compared to other form of trading but here it's more profitable since the market
is getting bigger and we are still in the early stage. Majority would advise to hold as the adoption continues which will only make the value to rise.

It is you who has to make the final decision but the thing is you need to make such sort of decision which can then help you in having a better earnings at the end. You really need to go for holding of bitcoin and that too for longer period of time as this is far more beneficial thing to do as compared to that of trading and other than that, you also need to opt holding in order to avoid more risks.

You can see that bitcoin prices in the past few days have been falling sharply and dogs have not recovered. I think that at this point you should keep rather than trade We can not trade when the market is going down, the rate of losses will be very high and extremely dangerous. As bitumen prices decrease, altcoin prices will fall. Market capitalization fell to $ 385 billion.

This depends upon what are the other activities of the day because trading is better if you are doing only one job and nothing else but if you have couple of jobs to look after and running late every day from different planned activities, than trading is not advised because in that you will have very less time spare and in that time there are maximum chances that your mind will be pre occupied and your decision will not be foresighted decision.

I believe that holding and trading is more profitable if we can make both of them. Because before we do trading we must hold our crypto coin for good and it is really a good strategy to get the right timing about selling through a good price, so that we can really gain a huge return of our investment. I believe that trader is also do holding before they do trading for good.

i think you can do both, hodling and trading but with a small portion of your portfolio

Holding works mainly for the most powerful crypto currencies, which have good potential, because their prices are expected to rise highly in the future, but you need to make your plan firstly, and to be patient too. Trading works for short and long term, but it is a bit more risky and you need good knowledge to avoid the big losses.

In this situation I think trading is very profitable then hold. Because the price of Bitcoin now unstable and very fast fluctuating.

today there are a lot of questions regarding the security of the accounts of the trade exchanges themselves, as well as the unstable market itself. Something seems to me that today's activities of Trajan are in great danger, and only professionals manage to avoid big losses.

Holding is better than trading because you can earn alot of holding and holding is not risky.

Trading is preferred over holding if you have time and market knowledge. Since the crypto market is quite volatile, It provides us a lot of opportunities to trade and earn. HODL is good for long-term traders who want a steady growth but if you want to earn fast then trading is the key to success.

When the market often fluctuates as it happens in october ~ December 2017. In this situation the market will feel warm and look normal (the situation sorely missed).


Well that's true because in every minute the price can change that beyond our knowledge.

Your question varies from person to person perspective and personality.  If you are kind of person who is risk taker and love to think logically and not being affected by your emotion then, trading fits on you on the other hand, if you are patient and do not have much time to focus on crypto, then, holding crypto prefers for you.

The goal of most investors generally is to buy low and sell high. This can result in two quite different approaches to equity investing.
One approach is described as "trading." Trading involves following the short-term price fluctuations of different stocks closely and then trying to buy low and sell high. Traders usually decide ahead of time the percentage increase they're looking for before you sell (or decrease before they buy).
While trading has tremendous potential for immediate rewards, it also involves a fair share of risk because a stock may not recover from a downswing within the time frame you'd like—and may in fact drop further in price. In addition, frequent trading can be expensive, since every time you buy and sell, you may pay broker's fees for the transaction. Also, if you sell a stock that you haven't held for a year or more, any profits you make are taxed at the same rate as your regular income, not at your lower tax rate for long-term capital gains.

But in general we can say that trading is a little bit more risky as compare to trading. Therefore i think that those people who do not have experience in trading they should try to hold bitcoin for a long time, which is comparatively safer than trading. where you just need to wait for the price to increase and give you some profit.

You can earn both on trading, It will depend on persons perspective on how they will earn profit. Like example, if you want quick return then you are active on trading. However if you want to maximize your earnings then hold it for a longer period.

If you have quick return because you are active in trading then it's good to focus on trading alone because you can earn
as much as you want and that skills of yours will bring your fortune in crypto.
A lot of us want to make money in trading but only few are really good in doing it, so in my case if I have that skills, I would surely capitalize it.

i do both trading and holding.
50% hold, 50% trading

It depends on the situation. If you have been trading for long and have got enough experience then you can decide according to the market situation. But, in general holding would be safer in all situation.

For me trading is much more effective because the trading is more profitable than holding because holding is just relaying on the overall value of the coin in the market and we do not control that thing while in trading we are the one who are buying and selling those coins so it is up to us. And yes it is very risky because you can lose but it is worth the risk if you gain that huge money that awaits to you.

Trading is kind of gambling that you don't know if you could double you profit or not. Tradinh is very risky to the newbies who don't know where is the best site to trade while holding is easy but slow or too long to wait until the right time to sell it so that you could double your money.

Before we do trading we really need to hold, that is whybi believe that both trading and holding has a connection and both are really important on the crypto currency feild. That is why I beleive that we don't need to compare both trading and holding, Maybe we hold for the right time to trade and we trade for profit and it's goes like everything is in connection of our patience. If we don't have patience we can't really hold coin foe a long term.

What they need to do is to know it first. Holding is a part of trading and for them to have a good profit they need to learn things and get them focus along with the market applications and the volume of any coin in particular. Holding can give big profits and it is even more good at this time.

For me both of that is good but it depends of you if you trade or hold but its nice if you monatoring the price so that you know the price of bitcoin and you can deside if you trade or hold.by trading its very use because if you trade you can get a fiat money but its good if the price is rising.if hold it depends of price if you think your profit is losses its hold continuesly so that your profit will back in normal.

Between trading vs. holding is an option, which should be decided before you invest further into the cryptocurrency.
The reason is one, you want maximum profit is not it?
Maximum profit is the dream of all investors, but you must be smart in deciding to invest.
Let's look at the following article:
1. https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@finesse/trading-vs-holding (https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@finesse/trading-vs-holding)
2. https://medium.com/@whatbitcoindid/hold-trading-my-highly-profitable-crypto-trading-strategy-ed8f23f38fe8 (https://medium.com/@whatbitcoindid/hold-trading-my-highly-profitable-crypto-trading-strategy-ed8f23f38fe8)

How? do you have a decision to choose between trading and holding?
you should start counting mathematically and then see your potential.

okay, good luck.

Generally, the ones who are more energetic and have this much sufficient time to give to things like that will go for trading and that in this thing, your personal interest also carries a very much significant importance holding is something which you should only chose if you have enough of the patience in yourself and that you can wait for some period of time before getting any earning. I thinking of holding to be much better thing as compared to that of trading.

I would like to answer this post, Trading or investing we need to choose anyone which gives us good returns or trading which can give us value to our investment. Investing is preferred when the particular trading coin is smooth in volatile and momentum otherwise it is advisable to go for trading when the   the coin is moving with high volatile when trending and no volatile movements are seen when there is no trend. Every trader has different trading style some prefer short-term trading and other prefer investing.

If you have a short-term target then in such volatile period, I would recommend trading in short as well as the long way in order to earn the profit in rising as well as falling market environment. I do a lot of trading, but sometimes it seems as though it would be just as good to buy and hold

I think someone decides to be trading or holding is after he tries something in the market. and when he is stuck in the one price meanwhile the price is down, this will push him to be a holder and he will forget to sell his coin because he knows that if he sells his coin, he never make a profit at all.

everyone wants to make a maximum profit but we should know every situation in the market so we can be able to make that profit and of course, if we have good skills, we can try to always make a profit.

but for me, it is better to hold the coin for a long time because it always works at least for me ;D but I still do a trade too like other people. and I think we don't have to calculate to know how much the potential if we hold the coin. I think it is enough if after we buy the coin, we only hold without selling for some high range of price.

I like the article you share and it could be a good guide for every people which want to decide to be a trader or holder. thank you very much for this.cheers.

Short are too risky for untrained trader. I would recommend to hold until the price will fit your plan.

First off, if you have a vast collection of coins to trade for. I think if your portfolio only consists of a few coins, and also, if the number of your coins are not that substantial, then it would be hard for you to venture in trading because you can't actively trade as much as you can, and thus, you can't maximize how much you could actually earn. Also, I think one important factor is your knowledge on how the market works. Unfortunately, this aspect has been usually overlooked because people try to wing it and believe that they will strike it rich and be successful.

Encryption currency trading is I think very good investment approach, because we can earn enough money in time and deal, as long as we buy when prices fall, prices when selling, we will complete the capital accumulation, everyone can get profit.

There are a lot of uncertainties over the long term, and maybe one year or two years later, you can have a coin that can grow several times or dozens of times, and it could be zero.

Bitcoin price is unpredictable in which unlike the other coins they should have product or commodities to represent in order for their coins to rise up the value or become stable which is predictable. Unlike Bitcoin there is no product but only it will depend upon the Big trust from the people and that is why we could not tell when it will going to rise up. I preferred to trade my Bitcoin the 50% earnings from my former capital and to hold the other 50% because this value is already huge and might lost it again if another dip will take place.

For me, when the price is going down then the most suitable time for trading. in this purpose, you have to take some risky decision regarding this issue. not only that but also Bitcoin trading is much more profitable than holding. Suppose you are holding some Bitcoin then you can enjoy the price rising but when the price is going down then you suffer also losses. but in the trading platform, You can enjoy always profit if you can manage your every step based on the practical and realistic information. So trading requires a lot of tactics and experiences then you could make a better result from here.

I do agree with you. Trading is more profitable than holding. In trading, you have a high chance of earning huge profit if and only your strategy is effective. You can avoid losses in trading, but it's way more risky than holding. Although you can earn huge profit in trading, still there is also a high chance of losing huge profit if you don't know what you're doing.

Obviously if we're going to find bigger profit we must go for holding for long term but its unpredictable. Whereas in trading we can have as the demand high. Easy profit yet small but sure. Just a matter of how you do it well.

I chose both according to the statistics for the progress of widening the size of the investment and profits over in short and long term.
Measuring back on trading needs only involves the primary source (digital daily currency) while for altcoin and token in support sources
depends on the liquidity and momentum on their market sentiments either to make extra or sell on the whole.
thereby holding the primary source and is trading at the support sources

Yeah that vary person to person. There are some people who prefer to go for bitcoin trading where market is keenly observed. Good rates of buying and selling are marked and then according to plan they move forward. But some people exhibits best qualities to hold where patience and calmness help them to increase the value of their coins. They don’t sell at panic.

If it falls - holding
If it grows - holding)
Jumps - trading.
It is necessary to look at the circumstances.
But it depends on you!

If you are a day trader than first if all you should have to choose good coins and then you should not have to sell in loss. sometimes it seems as though it would be just as good to buy and hold. If the price goes up and you sell to buy back later, sometimes the price just keeps going up and you miss out on those gains. if you know how to manage your investment then you can gain much profits.

Exchanging with crypto is more unpredictable contrasted with other type of exchanging however here it's more productive since the market

is getting greater and we are still in the beginning time. Dominant part would encourage to hold as the selection proceeds with which will just make the incentive to rise.

I firmly believe that at the moment you need to exit the market waiting for it to recover and there is a clear trend. It can be seen that the market in recent days is fluctuating continuously and extremely complex. Bitcoin prices and altcoin are constantly falling, so the trade will be very dangerous this time, the risk will be very high.

I myself depend on market conditions, when the market situation is very volatile and tends to decline as it is today. I prefer to hold, if you impose trading, its will be very risky, because the downward trend that occurred but that does not mean there is no profit now, I just want to avoid the big risk by holding back longer

Both have advantages and disadvantages . Doing Holding in a long time can bring profits and also bring losses. While trading is risky too, when we make the wrong decision then we will experience a big loss. Yes everything we do will definitely have results, as long as we focus and do the best then we will produce the best too.

I agree that if you want become a trader you need to gain more knowledge to handle the risk. But actually even if you are Hodler they have a risk also because they have up's and down and sometimes you lose your money.

but for now, I think it is too risky to still do trading because every altcoin is got down and we don't have a good chance to make a profit without waiting for the price increase back. but maybe we can buy another amount in bitcoin or altcoin because every coin is down so we can buy at the lower price while we still have a chance to wait for the price increase so we can sell it later. I think in this situation, it is better to still hold our coin until the price gets to increase again.

Great choice

Currently the crtocurrency market is bleeding, the prices of the altcoin are very low. I think it is best to hold and wait for the price to rise. If trading at this time will be difficult to make profit and the risk is very high, if you make the wrong decision you will suffer a huge loss. So what we need to do now is patiently keep and wait for prices to rise, if we trade need to make careful decisions.

In the beginning, there is a risk of loss of money in almost all the things but trading has actually got higher probability of risk. Still, you need to make the right choice by analyzing your capabilities and the knowledge which you have regarding the things and the thing which you think of is more interesting. I personally am in favor of holding of the crypto coins as compared to that of trading.

There a lot of strategies to earn the bitcoin and every strategy is applied on the different kinds of the situations of the customer, like if you have couple of weeks than you certainly cannot opt for the holding option. Also the way of doing and why it is being done also matters, because if you want early profits than you have to do the trading and if you want to stay in the market for longer duration with more surety of the profit than you can do the holding.

Right now the market condition is very bad it is continuously falling down so trading is too risky. better you can hold your coins and if possible try to buy more coins, in future you can sell it for good price.

I prefer for short-term trading or commonly referred to as scalping trading techniques, short-term play allows you to avoid the risk of being stuck at a high price but if you want to hold it up for a few years or usually called long-term play is also allowed.

Sometimes , short-term will make you fall into your mistakes over time and time again because there is no time for you to make a review as your result and fix it into better.
Short-term could be dangerous to people who wasn't discipline.

Well,  definitely i am holding when the price are much lower than the price when i invested. In that case,  i wouldn't lost any amount from my investment.  

You can say that market conditions are not much favorable for trading and this is why people are simply holding their coins in wallets. Traders are not observed to be participating actively in the market and the reason is very obvious. Continuous downfall of the market is not providing them with any opportunity of buying low and selling high which basically is the major phenomenon of trading. People waiting for rise.

Better try for night trading because Day trading is quite risky when compared to HOLD since it lead to loss of money. Day trading can be done only by the experience people after making much analysis who have wise knowledge and updates about the recent market. Hold will be good to stand if you have patience, buy some of the good coins set a target wait for the coins to increase the value and then sell it.

 This is good question but the answer is depending on the market condition,
If market condition is in condition of loss or low rate then keep holding and not selling is good thing instead of panic selling
If market condition means normally market trend and bitcoin price is stable then the best option is for daily trading with predicted arrange prices.

The basic rule is very simple, do not sell for a lose that is why we buy low and sell high.
However, it could be hard for actually most of us because that requires timing and in order for you to do the right timing, you need to do research.

Exchanging with crypto is additional unpredictable contrasted with different variety of exchanging but here it's additional productive since the market is obtaining larger and that we square measure still within the starting time. Dominant half would encourage to carry because the choice income with which is able to simply build the motivation to rise.

As what i had notice...it falls down to in the first week of january this year and all i know is in its process of recovery till now but im still  hoping that futherly it increases again and even more i know that it also reachest the highest price but all i know that it will increase again before this year ends . Bitcoin is existed until future and to the next generations.

in my opinion trading will never always be smooth because it could be your trading stuck at a very expensive price and when you are stuck in the expensive price then you can hold it until the price back up, so I think both are used to get a lot of benefits from trading.

I think the deal is the best way to make profits, but this is difficult, and not every one can in each trading profits, may be a wrong decision, you will lose a lot of money.

Hold for everyone as long as you have confidence in bitcoin.

I think holding is the safest, yes the return of investment is quite slow but you can assure that you can still get it. Just do trade when you have enough capital. If you think that you do not have the skills and knowledge in trading and you are not experienced well then stop immediately.

Different circumstances in bitcoin market means different things to different people. Some see bitcoin as seven figure asset and such people would not sell even if bitcoin is traded at $100000 today! Why some people will think heaven is fall if bitcoin loses half of it's value in a day!

doing trading without having knowledge about trading is too risky and it is better that we hold our coin because we cannot always make a profit in trading. but if we can learn something in trading, I think we could try to reach a profit so we can do both trading and holding at the same time. and for the profit, I think it will bigger if we can do both so we can collect much of bitcoin in a month.

I like the trading more than holding because the trading can give me the profit while for the holding i have to wait for the long time in the future and because of the trading in he crypto i will familiar with the new coins too. I would love to buy bitcoin Ether and dogecoin because now my priority to these all are active and i will use my money for this.

trading brings profit for us every day and now we can play trade with the amount of profit according to our ability, if I myself like the trade and if it is getting profit I will hold the coin and save for greater profit.

Cryptocurrency price soo high fluctuacion so in my opinion bad idea to holding the coins because by trading we can make more profit with buy and sell many times, and swing trading is best idea for people does not have much times to analysis the market.

Really, trading inside the day is more profitable. But this is a rather difficult task. Not everyone can trade with profit. We must constantly monitor and analyze the market. And the most important thing is to make the right conclusions with this.

I prefer HODL but I split 1/3 for trading.
Trading is so so so difficult.

To hodl is good but i will advice you swing trade at intervals to increase ur portfolio even as you hodl

correct. Trading will bring us more money than trading. Therefore, I suggest people should learn how to trade in order to make money daily. Holding is only for people who do not have much time. If you willing to stop your work and make money with trading, I believe that you can because it is fucking easy

85 % hodl, 15 % trading.

I think that at this time abnj should trade and should not last long. It can be seen that the market is still in annual decline, so the price of bitcoin and latcoin will continue to decrease and will not increase sharply, so if you keep in long term will be extremely dangerous, feasible. Losses and losses will be high. Therefore, I recommend that you trade to be able to mobilize your funds without the freezing of capital when the market drops.

I choose holding than trading waiting for price increase are profitable for long time holding, but i work also for day trade and long term holding is my priorities i always looking coins in the market price have good potential to become expensive.

think that with a market that is constantly fluctuating and unpredictable as it is now, you should trade by the day and not stay long. You can see that the market is still in a downtrend, so it is extremely risky and risky to lose. I believe that in the days when bitcoin prices will continue to decline after a slight recovery.

I've always thought that trading is more profitable than holding.

But I don't think trading is easy. It's not always an accurate transaction.

Buy bitcoins when prices fall, and prices continue to fall the next day. Will you keep buying them? The third day still falls, continue to buy?

trading is the best thing that we can do if we are not good in the analysis the coin because it needs time to learn the analysis. and I think with holding many coins or just holding bitcoin, we can make a lot of profit in the future after each of coin is increase so holding is only another way for us to still make money. I admitted that to do trading, it is really difficult in this situations because if we cannot determine how high the price will increase, we cannot make a profit.

If you are risk taker, it is better if you will trade your coins for you to easily earn money. Your strategy that you should use is depends on your skills, if you are good in technical analysis then do trading but if you are not good; I prefer to you to just hold your coins.

yes hold for long time, we not confuse with fluctuation price. as we known with more people need btc so btc price will growth.
we known btc have bright future, so keep hold to maximaize your profit

We have different kind of way on how we can be able to make some strategy and also depends on what ww can give on it just like here we are depending on how we can work for here so as what lot of people told on us here this is depends on you.

but he still need to be careful if he decide to trade for now because the market is not good enough for us to make a profit.and if he can make a good analysis then I am sure that he can always make a profit although it's not too big. but sometimes, holding can be a good solution if we are not sure about the market and we only need to stay calm and not making a movement until we are sure with our analysis.

There is a lot of difference in between trading and holding of the coins and that everyone has his own way of looking up at the things and that most of the people find holding to be more convenient as compared to that of trading and vice versa. However, I think of holding to be much better option than that of trading as this can make you earn more money and that too without facing enough of the risk.

I agree with you and if we can holding our coin, we don't have to confuse to buy and sell the coin and we only need to wait and of course, we need to have patience and don't panic if somehow the price is run out from our expectation. the cryptocurrency world right now has been tested to survive (again) and if we can survive then cryptocurrency will stay for a long time. I will hold too but if it necessary, I will trading too especially if I can see the chance for me to make a profit even for small profit.

It depends entirely on the market and the person. If you understand the market well then you can trade. It is more risky but it can be very quick to gain.
But in my opinion hold best. Because it is less risk. Now you decide what you do

According to my assumption that keeping Bitcoin can be something good, Bitcoin's charts move much faster,If you are a more technical expert analyst then you can do daily trading...

I'm sure crypto users will trade when prices start high and demand a lot. Because with such conditions will be more profitable. For trader to hold the coin or to hold it as stock is not intended for long-term but for trading when the price starts high. It's not easy to control the coins we hold for trading because the emotions will overflow to sell them.

Anyone can say good bitcoin but they can not pick the best time to buy bitcoin. I can tell that bitcoin has a good future, but to guess its lowest price is a very difficult job. It takes a lot of time to update the news and evaluate its price. I'm wondering about that. Can you share your experience for me?

I think he can use the right time to buy bitcoin in a few hours ago because I see the price is on the bottom and now the price start to increase back. I am not sure this will stay like this but I still wait for what will happen in the market and I hope that people will stay calm to face the worst situation. and now, the price trying to increase more than $7k and I hope that the price will get up high for more so people can sell their bitcoin to make a profit.

Over the last few days the market has been dropping daily, so it is not the right time to trade. I would prefer to hold and wait till the market turns around.

You can do both trade with just a little amount and trade it in short term even you have only small profit because the price of bitcoin now is unpredictable and then the remaining better hold it and wait for the time that the price of bitcoin goes up to gain a bigger profit.

for now I prefer to hold because I do not want to sell loss, I will hold back what I got until crypto recovers from the downturn caused by the issue of g-20

Purchase things with bitcoin when it is available, Dont trade. If you arent an expert then trading will prob end up badly for you.

I think right now there are a lot of shit coins in the market right now so, i think you have play safe. If you still want to trade, it is better to trade in coins like BTC, BCH, LTC and others which have actual good future ahead of them in 2018. Other altcoins might get rekt due to high volatility of Bitcoin and may be worth pennies pretty much in start of 2018. There are also coins, which you can hold for long term, but do a complete research before investing into one.

Trading is very good if you are knowledgeable as you can keep increasing your capital more with that, but that does not make holding less good as well, considering the risk of trading, most especially without knowledge. If you think that you don't have skills and knowledge in trading and you're not a well experienced then cut it out as early as you can. Holding is the safest, yes the return of investment is quite slow but you can assure that you can still get it. Just do trading when you're an equip one that ready to go to war.

I prefer trading because trading can provide good profit and also daily income if we apply daily trading. hold coins only apply if the coins have a good future and a good market.

If you are a good trader of course trading is much more profitable than just Holding. However, there are compromises. You can just trade positions where the trend is unmistakable, and where you don't risk much if you happen to be wrong.

I completely agree with you that trading is more profitable than hodling. But it is still very difficult. As you can see, most traders are failed because they are lack of many skills and knowledge. So, the best way for newcomers are holding

Holding is good to make money when we can choose reputable coin from high matketcap and low supply.
But if we can do daily trade with our knowledge, try do day trade together with holding good coin also the best idea. Combination is never been bad idea.

i think this sitiution need trading , iff you see your coin within 24 hour give you 20-100% profit , you can sell when you think this coin never gibe me more profit , then again buy when this coin come down , i am also like this

it is better you do the same you can roll your bircoin via trading while youre holding this waiting for the right time..

well, my advice if you are an expert in trading you can trade but if it is not best to hold it, but there is no harm if you want to try trading, although you will often lose it does not matter, because your experience will increase, one thing to remember in trading do not be too greedy.

It depends on how much time I can spend on trading and analysing the market overall. If I do have enough time then trading is better, If not then just hodl. But market become more and more effective and we have to put more and more time to be more effective as well. If you investor and you did your homework than you will be fine. If you trader you have to learn everyday and be ready to be under pressure most of the time.

Im honestly on the fence about trading vs holding.  I see holding as a safe way of investing your money because you can ride out the downturns without risking loosing portions of your stack.  On the other hand, I see trading as a viable option because there are many opportunities to buy sell and buy lower or buy and sell higher.   The issue with that is that the prices may move in a direction that you did not expect which might leave you in a position you dont wanna be in or you might panic sell or buy.

I think that's just a safe way to minimize the risk of losing. if we have techniques in trading, the current market situation can be utilized to make day trading in order to get a little profit.

but in my opinion, both can be done, holding good for all the coins we already hold, rather than selling them cause a lot of harm. and trade should not be stopped, we can start with the reserve capital. so that our finances will be stable and fix the losses.

holding back better, and trading should keep going. This makes the balance of the economy.

Not that good to all coins at hold because not all will be great to have you in profit. On trading it will be good to follow the market and trade for btc if you make some profits but if not just stick first into holding some good coins and try to learn daily trading if you want.

In bearish trend just like now day trading will be more profitable than holding, holding can make big loss in short times but in the long term can be give nice profit. But will be better to trade it cause we can not predict for sure what the future of cryptocurrency.

All i can say is it depends on you if you realy have a good talent in crypto trading then why dont you do it but if you dont have a good talent in trading i would say holding is a good way to save your investments and not lose.

of course more winning trades if you are smart in the world of trading and can utilize all coin to generate profits and can control your patience then it will be easy to earn very much profit from trading.

I think investing is the best thing because many discounts are given if joining in ico or presale, in contrast to trading we have to buy at a price at that time without a discount

I said that you should do it both for better results because trading is not that efficient and they cannot gave you an accurate profits because not all the time you can win a lot of money sometimes it is just a low profits. And in holding on the other hand is more like an investment because you are just saving the coins you have their maybe because they are on a lower price eabge for now and you are wanting to have a nuch bigger one ao better hold and trafe it when it pumps again

i am with trading , iff you hold your coin you don,t get any extra profit , i think better trading for grow alt balance

Obviously that you get extra profit, why are you so dumb?

If the altcoin goes up, you earn money.. you can not even understand that?

Came on.. trading is very risky if you do not even know what the hell you are doing.

trading means buying or selling bitcoin, etherum or altcoins but holding means buying bitcoin and keep bitcoin or etherum for future for getting more profit.

I personally do long term and short term trading, I will do anything as long as I get the money, but for now holding more profitable

Trading and holding is two different aspects and it is purely depend upon our financial requirement only. As we start trading to gain additional income which can help us to support our financial status. Nothing is constant also so we have to react according to our immediate need only also it is very difficult to predict so it is safe to book the profit or lose and then go for long term which can help to come out with profit.

In this situation it is better to hold all your investments. Don't panic. Patience is a main weapon of trader.  Only thanks to patience we get an excellent profit! On the cryptocurrency market, only those who invest in a long-term perspective win. That's why just hold your assets and enjoy your profit later.

Right now it's dangerous to trade your altcoins or whatever crypto currency your hodling especially when you have bought from a higher price. If that's the case try hodling it and try selling it when the price gets higher in order to make profit. When it comes to trading you just have to know the basic concept and that is buy low, sell high.

Bitcoin trading is better than simply holding it but it is also a way more difficult than just keeping the coin in the wallet. In my opinion, holding itself gives a very tough time to the Bitcoiner. The fluctuations can really stop one’s breath. Trading involves risk and demands more patience. Not only this, but a trader must have good analytical skills and accuracy in his decisions. To achieve this, many a times he will come across great loss. Holding is far easier so one should adopt what he is capable of. No need to push limits.

There is nothing such which is common in between holding and that of trading and that both the things are completely different from one another. Holding is simply buying of any of the crypto coin and then keeping that coin in your wallet for quite a longer period. trading on the other hand includes continuous buying and selling of different kind of coins based on the market situation.

I think we now can doing trading once in a few days because if we trading for daily, I think the price does not increase much and we still need to wait the other day. I check in the market that the price it seems to move in the few days so we can to buy now and sell in the other days. but for me, I think it is better to buy now and hold it, for example, a month or a few months until the price increases higher because our profit will bigger at once.

I prefer to trade because I can make a profit quickly, I do not have enough capital to do the holding so I will collect capital through trading

Considering the falling market at the moment, it is difficult to trade unless you do margin trading or shorting. Otherwise, you only make some profit. So, I think you should start buying in the deep and wait the market green again.

Because the trading is done when the market goes down can cause many new investors panic when the number of sellers appears a lot. This makes all of them fear and FUD looks.

sometimes it takes the courage to enter when the market is down. Some people avoid such moments, but for investors who see opportunities from the anxiety of others will enter the market and buy bitcoin or other cryptocurrency to get profit

On my opinion trading requires you to have enough time and skills. But bitcoin is good for longterm holding because I beleive that it has a big pontenial in the future.

You can hold and get other coins with airdrops help. It's free and the list of profitable airdrops you can find here (https://t.me/HotDrops).

Trading is no doubt far more beneficial thing to do and that it can help you in making of a huge amount of money as well without any delay but still it involves a lot of risk as well and that you need to be very much careful while doing trade. Holding is also one of the best ways to do and that it can help you in making of more money but for that you must show little patience and that you need to keep on holding them for longer period.

Both are very profitable, in my opinion. However, I think that holding is working mostly for long term profit, while trading is more profitable in the short run (sometimes long term too). I am doing both of them, holding the most promising coins, and trading some coins and tokens to generate weekly income.

I prefer to apply both because not always trading you do can always be your benefit there will be a moment to hold the coin you have until the coin sells because you realize if you sell cheap you will only get a loss.

I think trading and holding are very different. To be a trader you need to learn a lot about this, but to hold - you just have to wait))

I think today more people are holding than to trade, because if the current sell will be a loss because now most crypto prices are down. I am still waiting for the price crypto currancy stable, currently difficult to predict price movements

In my opinion, these two types are conceptually different. Hold is the most common type of investment in the cryptographic market, based on the characteristics of the market as a source of decentralized supply. Holding for long periods of time to make high profits is the most popular trend. Trading is the job and need to spend more time interested in the market. The best idea is to combine these two types to create effective profits. depending on the time and the market trend to convert the plan accordingly.

For me i was prefer in holding my tokens for a long term trading since i dont have a good skills in trading i only know some basic on trading so i am prefer to do holding and long term trading. But before that i am studying on which tokens i have to invest to make sure that i wont lose my money.

This is depend the level of price was you buy, if you bought in the bottom or oversold area you can holding it in a few month, but if you bought in higher price for the better trade it, because as we know fluctuacion of crypto so high. Learn about technical analysis will help to know when the price on oversold and overbought.

I think it would be better to trading rather than holding because in trading you can be able to have the opportunity to earn more all you need to do is to buy those tokens that has a high potential.

in my opinion trading will never always be smooth because it could be your trading stuck at a very expensive price and when you are stuck in the expensive price then you can hold it until the price back up, so I think both are used to get a lot of benefits from trading.

if have no good mentality better to avoid holding bitcoin or other cryptocurrency.only long term investor that suitable to do this. and we must decided it first whih type of trader we are.

The goal of most investors generally is to buy low and sell high. This can result in two quite different approaches to equity investing.
One approach is described as "trading." Trading involves following the short-term price fluctuations of different stocks closely and then trying to buy low and sell high. Traders usually decide ahead of time the percentage increase they're looking for before you sell (or decrease before they buy).
While trading has tremendous potential for immediate rewards, it also involves a fair share of risk because a stock may not recover from a downswing within the time frame you'd like—and may in fact drop further in price. In addition, frequent trading can be expensive, since every time you buy and sell, you may pay broker's fees for the transaction. Also, if you sell a stock that you haven't held for a year or more, any profits you make are taxed at the same rate as your regular income, not at your lower tax rate for long-term capital gains.

If you dont know about expectancy or had to google it you better not trade. Crypto is magical because even if you do not trade fundamentals are on your side. Soon as you think you are smarter than the next guy you usually fall unless you got 10 yrs experience or iq of 150+

For who focus on BTC USD pair. Join in and try it guys. The bot should reach a certain number of followers to release a new report. It's time sensitive due to the volatility of BTC. So the faster we join, the earlier we get the report to act on time.

maybe if we cannot trade, we can be a holder for many coins and we don't have to do trade in daily because I don't think that we can make a profit if we don't have any knowledge in trading. it is better to hold if we don't know much about trading so we can sit down and watch the price is up and down and sell if we think we are making a profit. by doing this over and over, we can make a lot of profit in the end and I guess we don't have to learn more about trading.

Trading and holding are two distinct practices and should be entered based on the skill of an individual. Trading, unlike holding is more time consuming and does require skills. Both practices, yields profit, but I  prefer trading because when i'm trading at a loss, I could decide to then hold.

Buy at the lowest price at the beginning of the year, HODLING all year round and sell in December. It works. verified 8)

both are equally profitable, now I'm holding back everything I bought yesterday, I want to make a big profit by holding it for several years

Both are profitable and risky, I am not a trader but I can understand the way points of trading like in day trading it is profitable within a short period of time but the consequence is we should always attend on exchanges to watch its actual value so that we can sell at high price and buy during low, and the risk of that is when we have missing to trade at its last minimum price with respect from our buying value then the result is we should have to wait again its high rising, and the essence for all of this is we need a lot of time in market exchanges, while holding it takes time for us to be profitable but no need for us to monitor every time in exchanges.

I like to do trading in my free times because it is generally more profitable. But sometimes holding gives much more return, especially when some of my coin suddenly jumped 2x 3x overnight.

Trading is the first priority when market is in a flow you can earn on daily basis, but when prices get low then holding is the best and the only option, so it all depends on the value of the currency.

Trading is good if the coin is going nowhere e.g. slow development and limited marketing. Ditch it for a better coin with more prospects. Hodling is for coins like NEO which has a lot of potential for growth

The price of bitcoin and other alts are very low because the market is currently down for the mean time.  Holding is much better than to sell at the very low price.

If you say holding it's like a stress free investment because what you will do is just add money and just forget about it and there you go you earn't money but when it comes to trading it is very different because the profit you will get in holding you can get it in a day in trading but of course the risk.

If you say holding it's like a stress free investment because what you will do is just add money and just forget about it and there you go you earn't money but when it comes to trading it is very different because the profit you will get in holding you can get it in a day in trading but of course the risk.

It depends on what coin your are talking about, and if it is a bitcoin or eth, I will hold it completely, because we can see how much it will rise in a very short time.

if you dont know about trading is it better to holding
trading is must any an experience and knowledge and trading is risky. Holding may be is a good choice.

buy when low, and hold it for a long period of time. it is a trick always used by great traders out there. combining between saving and trading, making them generate profits very much.

sometimes, if we can cut loss our coins and we are waiting for the price is down is a good decision because we can buy at low price and with a big amount in our hands, once the price increases, we can make a lot of money. but it is not always guaranteed because for now, the price still cannot predict and we can get a trap for the price. so make sure that we know what we are doing and if somehow we think that holding is the best things that we can do, just go ahead and don't worry about the next things that will happen.

Exchanging is no uncertainty significantly more gainful activity and that it can help you in making of an immense measure of cash also immediately yet it includes a ton of hazard too and that you should be particularly cautious while doing exchange. Holding is additionally outstanding amongst other approaches to do and that it can help you in profiting yet for that you should demonstrate little persistence and that you have to continue holding them for longer period.

actually I prefer to do trading because it only takes a little time but if you see a market like this then it is better to hold the holding because the opportunity to make a bigger profit if the holding

It takes 10 years to get good at anything. I would rather not mess up my ticket in crypto by being a trading hero. Most here will do just that.

Trading also is so fun and we can earn more profit specialy if you do a day trading but at the same time as the requirements we need to poses a pretty good skills in trading like some pro traders here in the furum and we need also a good amount of money unlike you do a holding with a long term trading you dont need a good skills to do it atleast we know the basic of trading is okey.

I think the trade or hold depends on your purpose when investing in the crypto market. If you do not have much knowledge about crypto, you want to make a profit. Also if you are a diligent, experienced in the trade, you want to have more income then you should trade. I will choose both the trade and hold. I will trade with a little altcoin that I hold to have more money, the rest I will hold and wait for the price to rise.

If you know how to trade so that profit is always greater than loss. Then trading is much better than just holding assets in your own hands.

My vote is also for trading. It can yield more profits in lesser time than simply keeping the coin in the wallet. But trading is also far riskier than holding. The chances of facing a loss are high and a lot of patience plus guts are required to keep on going with this profession. But if someone reads all the details about this profession as well as his asset, it is not impossible to become a successful trader.

10 years or more to know how to do it for profit.

I think you can trade at this time, you can see that bitcoin prices are rising extremely strongly today, bitcoin prices are now at $ 7000 and still on the rebound. Bitcoin recovery also made the altcoin bounce back, total market capitalization has increased significantly. I believe the bitcoin price will hit $ 7500 tomorrow, so you should buy bitcoin at the moment.

I believe that you should continue to hold at the moment, can see that bitcoin prices are recovering extremely strong today and are showing the market is showing signs of recovery again. So you can rest assured and keep the coin. According to my analysis, the bitcoin price will reach $ 7700 in the coming days, so you can buy bitcoin at this point.

for now daily trading is very profitable than you do a hold. I say that because Bitcoin prices are so unstable right now. In one week I see BTC prices are very fluctuating drastically.
So in my opinion, it is not right if you do hold Bitcoin.

trading is a very profitable one for those who do it. the preferred trade when the price starts to soar, so it can sell it for a high price. and from there it will get considerable profit. what more if it used to buy at a low price, and now sell at a high price. it is very profitable.
but in trade also requires skills, by knowing the basics of trading.

I agree with this one, daily trading is very profitable since the price of bitcoin is on its up and down that is why buying at dips and making an exit is easier. However, it is also the good time to invest in bitcoin since there is a dip. However, just like what you have said, the price of bitcoin is very unstable right now that's why if you are willing to do the risk, then having bitcoin for a long term hold will be a good idea, too. There's no specific time or date when to do trading or holding, as long as you have the money, the skill and good decision making, then you can do both.

For me long term holding is the best move to maximize na full potential of bitcoin while on the other hand alt coins are best when it comes on short term holding or what we called trading. Everyday bitcoin price is slowly going down but who knows tomorrow or next week bitcoin will rise again and go back to its normal track because as you can see bitcoin is so unpredictable and just a blink of an eye the price of it can boost up again like what happened last year. Alt coins except ethereum for me are best when you play them in the market by buying and selling on the same day because unlike bitcoin that hard to predict, you can easily feel the outcome of a coin when you carefully examine and observe the movement of it in the market.

Every time is started trading I just "lost" profit, I think even if someone holds they should sell atleast some of the profit because anything can crash.

well, I guess trading was a very unpredictable because their market whether altcoins or Bitcoin are both volatile. Meaning, if you are doubtful about the price increase or decrease, I think it is much good to hold it at least losses will be prevent anyhow.

When there is an extreme volatility going on with that particular coin or token then I prefer trading but if I'm a bit skeptical and decided that it would definitely pay in the long run then I would hold.

It is just as simple as that. It really depends on the circumstances. You just need to determine which is much preferable to do whether trading or holding.

Only trade if you have the skills to do so. Trading takes a lot of research and risks. Only take risks you can afford to. Holding is a less risky strategy if you buy low.

I want some suggestions relating to the issue because I am just a new guy in the forum

The simplest solution is to do both, 50-50 and done.  ::)

Two boths depend upon its nature and time. Now price is so cheap and this time holding is the best action on the other hand when price is good position then trading is appropriate.

Trading is good and in the benefit of those who can not enter into Bitcoin investment. With trading you can go step by step and takes your time to upgrade. But holding Bitcoin is good long term investment because you and earn a lot by waiting some more time and round about you can earn and get huge profit within a year.

You can do both, trading and investing at the same time, if you will succeed in trading then I would say you have a good chance
to be a successful long term investor as well. In trading, you need to constantly check the market, read the news and that would help you to be more educated and we know being smart gives us advantage.

I prefer trading than holding. For me it is more challenging way yet profitable one.I just can't stand at the side holding my coin and wait when to sell. We all know that trading is more risky but atleast you did something.With good technique and strategy trading is a good learning skill to be develop more.

I don’t know for sure which one of them is much better, but I’m not the type of person that likes to rely on only one source of income. I prefer to work on various ways and make sure that my income comes from various sources, cause one might fail you one day when you least expected it. So if you ask me, I will choose the both of them. You can also trade while holding some. Bitcoins, it’s possible.

Capital management is bigger than making profits.

Most trader/investors never realize the importance of the same & keep sticking to their false perception of hodling/ FOMOing/ panicking. Capital management is what makes you winner in every kind of market (bear or bull). Crypto is highly volatile asset with least liquidity, including bitcoin and all of tradable assets on exchanges. Don't stick to opinions , be versatile in your thoughts. Try to identify the trend. Holding in a bear market have costed some people depletion of 70%-80% of their portfolio and holding shitcoins had costed some a total wipe out of their portfolio .i.e bitconnect, Centratech CTR.

An approach with a mix of TA & FA is needed while entering or exiting a position. FA is required for assessing the future potential /development of a coin/company .
It's like understanding the product & it's market/demand. While TA can give you a good entry or exit price. Sometimes an asset have immense potential, but when market trend is down, it keeps declining & sometimes market trend is so parabolic that even shit starts flying till it hits the ceiling. Here comes the TA part. It gives a nice entry & exit points/zones.

I prefer to trade because I can make profit faster, I think holding back does give me a big advantage but the problem is time

I think that at the moment you should buy and hold, the market in recent days is showing signs of huge decline, the price of bitcoin and altcoin are continuously reduced for several consecutive days. This is the opportunity for you to gather the potential coin at extremely cheap price to trade. In my opinion, only bitcoin prices will recover to $ 8000 tomorrow.

you called the exact time or your tomorrow can be understood in any way? I think that in the near future from bitcoin, we should not expect active growth. The maximum he is capable of, it's almost 7000 dollars.

Hold some of your bitcoin because as time passes by, its price continues to rise but with minimal fluctuations. Then trade the remaining. Buy when its price drop then sell when it goes up.Plan wisely and use the right strategy so you can grow it.

Hold 70% and trade 30%.

I believe that at the present time you can still continue to hold. If you are investing at bitcoin at $ 10,000 then there is still a chance for you to exit. It can be seen that bitcoin prices in the past few days have started to recover and the market has started to be vibrant. So, according to my analysis, the bitcoin price will still be another wave up to $ 11000 so you can exit.

The safest way is to hold your btc than go in trading...the long term the best for making money you must wait for high value of bitcoin before going to trade...remember it is always increasing or dereasing of amount of bitcoin...just wait for perfect timing

If you don't have the patience, then neither trading nor holding will work for you. What happened in December 2017 was an exception. Bitcoin will not give you 400% returns every month. It depends on a lot of factors, including your luck.

I prefer to trade wisely than longterm hold. Idea of hold is to not sell even a hype happening in a particular coin or token. Willing to wait to pump the price more and more but his is not good for me. So i choose trade wich is wisely to buy and sell in a very best moment can be. Reaching a high price in market, sell reaching a lowest can be , buy. Meaning there us a trade happen, trade with single coin make your holding many as before.

I prefer to holding it, I will wait as long as the price of bitcoin being increase. need patience to get big profit, wee need analysis the trade and the market too, so we can decide when we have to make a deal with our bitcoin. For trading bitcoin before you doing it, make sure that you know about trading and how the trading bitcoin, so if you want to try trade some of your bitcoin you have knowledge and know what will you do with your asset.

Well,  definitely i am holding when the price are much lower than the price when i invested. In that case,  i wouldn't lost any amount from my investment. 

     It depends on your knowledge. If you have enough knowledge and techniques in trading then go for it. For me i would choose holding because i have a lot of patience and lock of knowledge about trading,i need to learn it more.

both are equally beneficial and you are free to choose the other one, I think holding is the only way to expand your money, do not be tempted by the slight advantage of short-term trading because I'm sure you will get a greater advantage if you hold it

Hmmmm, Only trade if you have the skills to do so. Trading takes a lot of research and risks.

When it comes to Bitcoin, holding is obviously the better choice as it is looking unstoppable as it almost near the five figure mark. The future looks promising with the holders being rewarded massively for their perseverance and determination.

Trading is very crucial if doesnt delivers profit in a short span of time, Usually traders do daily trading. Mostly traders spend too much time infront of their pc or laptop monitoring the fluctuations for a couple of hours, Its a stressful kind  of job because you need to wait an hour just to earn profit while holding is like an asset, where in you need to hold it for a couple of years just to earn good profit. A perfect example of holding just like a land property, a jewelry(gold). Where in a specific time comes. The value also rises..:)

Everything comes with some flaws. Nothing is perfect in this world. Trading is amazing in both modes. If someone is going for long term investment, he must be compromising with time but on the same side, if someone is relating himself with short term investment, time wouldn’t be problem but the hard efforts and the troubles coming the whole day, is the big issue one would be facing.

for me it is equally profitable, trading and enduring, if I think trade earns faster every day, and if I survive in the long run, we will have a good future.

Now waht to say it depends obvioulsy on desire. Means every party has its own reasons to suupport each

Trading is related to short term and holding is related to long term. Trading is more profitable and risky than holding. If you can want to take risk then you can try to trade otherwise you can hold your currencies. But personally I link to make trade.

I prefer to choose trading than holding for now, because the market crypto is not good
but it's depend on people. they choosing trading or holding. I think so, trading is more profitable than just holding.

Someone with the urge to get daily returns and beneficiary profits in huge amount should go for trading

Trading is faaar better than holding. Especially in the current bear market. Youcan make easily 10% daily trading while holding you will make only losses :D

In this situation the best strategy is HODLing. Because only long-term investments can guarantee profit to investors. Especially now, when the market start to recovery, we should be patient.

That is my strategy too, to keep holding as I don't have much time to do trading now since I do have work, and my work requires me to render 8-16 hours in a day when necessary especially now that it is tax season, so very conflict in schedule as much as I want to learn trading.

I think you should trade at this time, you can see that bitcoin prices are increasing strongly today and there are signs of recovery clearly, because you can buy bitcoin now to be able to trade Commerce. Bitcoins are at $ 7800 and can rise to $ 8800. It is likely that bitcoin prices are being pumped by sharks. Market capitalization is also going up sharply and I believe that you can be completely safe when investing.

well the answer is quite simple   

if u have no skills  just hold in solid projects  like btc   

if u have trading skills then  trading can give you 2 main options

  make profit from alts to increase your btc balance
   

while this said  remember that doing is waaaaayyy harder than saying  i my self find it hard to trade  cuz u nvr know what may happen in the future

 i did some trades  which were successful and other lost in them  basically rn am just holding with no trade and waiting for  market to get better 

after the price becomes high, I do not hesitate to sell, but when the price is down, I prefer to hold it for a long time. may be a bit of a loss when we sell it at a cheap price. I'm sure the bitcoin price will still go up no matter what.

Trading is preferred over holding if you don’t have sufficient funds to invest for long term. Also if you can’t control your emotions and don’t have patience to wait then go for trading. But for trading you should have skills and technical knowledge about the market trends.

Everyone has his own perception and that all of us have different interests as well and that we do the things which seems us to be more suitable. I am in very much favor of holding of the crypto coins as this is a very good option when it comes to that of comparing it with day trading or short-term investment of money. holding of your coins for longer period gives you a hope that you will make out a huge money at the end.

I am new to this market so I think holding is the best way. Currently I am adding more knowledge to be able to invest in this market. Only with regular transactions and profit, I can be rich.

Often, it is not quite profitable to trade, because we are still at the stage of the emergence of the market, but in order to keep it is necessary to perfectly understand the asset, and always follow their work.

I believe that at the moment you should trade, or maybe continue to hold, the prices of both bitcoin and altcoin are rising very strongly and are recovering very strongly. The market is booming again, I believe this will be a long-term rally of bitcoin. You can buy as many bitcoins as you can invest in. As you can imagine, bitcoin prices will likely continue to rise and may reach $ 9000 in the coming days.

Holding is the best thing to do now because trading at this time is hard because market moving very bad so trading can give loss so better to hold and wait for the profits.

And trading requires more knowledge and skills than holding. holding requires only trust and patience. yeah true trading more risky but you can profit every day if you're great in trading, that is with experience, skills and knowledge. so if you want to trade. grind your skills and you have to take risks

Trading is good to make short term profit but only when you know how to do trading short term because short term trading can also give loss so better is to have experience about short term trading first then only start to do trading.

Both can give you income, however, trading is extra risky because of the chance of losing money if you failed to do what you needed to. But if you are good at trading, then go for it. As long as you won't lose that much money if you failed, and be sure to recover quickly from your loss. Either way, you'll get income from these two. More opportunities and much riskier situation is just waiting for you with trading.

If you want sure profit, whatever be the amount then you should look for long term holding as since it would never betray in the long run

I believe that trade is a trend nowadays, it can be seen that bitcoin prices in recent days are fluctuating continuously and recently had a very strong drop and fast kill margin. Bitcoin prices are currently at $ 7700 and are still in a sharp decline. I believe bitocin prices will probably continue to fall and touch $ 7300 mark. So you should choose the time to buy bitcoin.

Don't kbow quite correctly means I cant explain as because I'm not gonna do either with my coins

This is depend on the skill, time that you have. Trading if you are skilled in trading and have a large budget. Hodl'ing if you are unskilled in trading.

if the Bitcoin price becomes cheap and my assets decrease, of course I will not sell it because it will make us loss money, of course for bitcoin I will keep it, because bitcoin is for long-term investment so will still profit later

Hodl'ing if you Don't want to spend a lot of time researching and trading and are unskilled in trading. Trading if you are skilled in trading.

It's depend upon the situation where we in just like now almost of coins are in dip just like bitcoin. For now it is better to hold up our coins due to a little dump we had for now. And when the time every coins recover then it is the right to trade all of those coins you kept. However, if you have enough funds then you might do those both options.

I preferred to hold bitcoin and trade the altcoins. Actually I do really have big profit from altcoins rather than bitcoin. Bitcoin is better to be holding rather than trading it because as we can see that bitcoin is still not yet recover from its fell. But it is still depends on you on what are you going to do. But if were you, use bitcoin as an investment to altcoins in order for you to earn huge. I tell you dude, you will have huge profit it alts so dont just focus in bitcoin.

I prefer to keep trading instead of just letting your coin stop and do not move because I think it will only make the profit you get stopped because there is no more capital for trading.

Trading can be very beneficial for a very short period of time. Holding it a long time, and there is a long way to profit from trade.

That would still be depending on how you manage your trade, you can do long term and short term but it has different approach.
You are gambling with your predictions so be smart in making that prediction because if not you can loss your money easily.

I think that when the market falls, trade fairs are more dominant than holdings. We should continue to buy some currencies when the market declines and wait until the price rises to sell. When you think the price is not very stable, you can keep holding.

All my transactions were made when the market fell. Because it will be more favorable than when the price rises. When you think that the price of money is unstable, you don't know when to sell or when to buy. At this time I suggest that you should keep your currency.

In this case, both trading and holding are the best options for a person to adopt. But definitely at one time, a person can only take one so for me, holding is better option. That really don’t let you to get into big complex sites and calculations of the profit and losses every 20 or 30 minutes. Holding makes you relax and you are just waiting for the best time to come, sell all what you have and earn money.

It depends on situation. If you have long negotiations and have sufficient experience, you can decide according to the market situation. But, in general, the celebration would be safer in any situation.

For me both are also very good, with us earning better, but I think prefer to trade, so we will make money in a short time, because for us it will be easier to earn a lot of money every time. if we persist in the long term by waiting for better prices.

I think Patience and holding is best policy that makes you able to aware of loss because  loss is depend on the market when you have good understanding and you think about the market and market trend also when you can earn a good profit but by good understanding you can sell it small loss to aware of big losses,

I think you should trade these days, you can see that the price of bitcoin in the past few days is recovering very strongly and may reach the $ 10000 mark in the coming days. These are very good signals that the market will recover and get more active again. So I think you should trade bitcoin and altcoin will gain more profit than hold.

 I think it is good to the market condition because keep following the market condition and then trade on it is good strategy that tells how to do trade  keep trading or wait for some time by holding,

Yeah, anyway, i prefer to trade sometimes when there is a good market, and when there is a bearish season,
 then i just prefer to buy some tokens and wait until it touches at least, a 50% of profit.

I think that at this time the trade or holding is going, you can see that the market in recent days has strong rebound signs, the price of bitcoin is constantly increasing and breaking the milestone. in . This has caused the market to rebound and recover very strongly, you can tell that the market is in a rising trend.

For me, I prefer trading over holding when there is a huge huge FUD which is also valid. Of course, validating is difficult judgement call, but when I find it valid, I started to trade. e.g with Nano. When the issue with Bitgrail emerge I exchanged it with ETH.

in my own opinion i must prefer the holding rather than trading because holding you cant loose but when you trade there is a possibility that you will loose money so i think its better to hold for the future rather than trading.

it's safer to hold it because I'm sure bitcoin prices will go up continuously but if you want to get a profit soon you can also set aside a little to do tranding

Trading and holding are different thing but for me as long as you can manage to do them both them do them both because it is very profitable when you do them at the same time youbare havung an investment so it means your money us growing and it is safe then you are doing some trading which is an active one so your money is gonna grow too and not just sleeping around but your money is always moving and not staying in one place

I prefer holding coins with a lot of potential. Always remember that eventhough the price of the coin dumps, you're still not losing money. Buy low and wait until the price go high.

I will suggest you to hold because Btc prices are always unpredictable, fast trading can leads to huge losses sometimes , So hold your coins for the perfect time and enjoy the fruit of your patience.

Trading is not recommended for people who don't how to trade. Holding is not recomended for peope withount patience, so everything you need is too choose between skill and patience.

If you have a busy schedule and that you find it difficult to take out some time to do the things, then it is better for you to go for holding of the coins like that of the bitcoin for longer time as this will help you in making of more money as well as doing other things at the same time. trading demands you to spend lot of time and efforts and after that, you can think of making some good money.

Trading is really okay to have a quick income and if you are a good trader you should choose trading, but if we are not good in trading we should choose to hold, because holding for one year or even for 6 month is very great to do to have a better income ir profit.

You can see that the price of bitcoin in recent days is fluctuating continuously and very complex, the market capitalization is declining, the market is bearish so I think that at this time you should trade in Short-term, you should not hold in the downtrend so it will be very dangerous and you will lose huge losses.

You can see that the price of bitcoin in the past few days is growing very stable, each increase in price have time for altcoin can pump price. I think that at the moment the market is showing signs of recovery and you can see that the market is currently in a short-term upward trend. I believe that it is very beneficial for you to be able to hold or hold this moment.

I also think that trading coins instead of holding much more interesting and sometimes even very profitable. Especially if the project is good.

Generally speaking, the circumstances surrounding bitcoin are usually not expected. It is better to prepare for all sort of market condition than to be caught unaware! As cryptocurrency enthusiast, I will hold and trade!

Holding is a safe option, so if you don't have a lot of experience in trading then it would be better for you to hold for a long time. It would be profitable.

Holding demands no experience. All a person’s needs to simply hold a coin for long is understanding the future of coin. He should put some trust in his own decisions and stay with his coins during hard times. As far as trading is concerned and that too of bitcoin or altcoins, it is a tricky job, especially when someone has chosen to become a day trader and no trader can become rich without facing loss.

It depends on your trading skills, which is often difficult for novices.

You can sell more than 10% or 20% of the gain.

But short - term trading is very difficult, and it is not easy for old hands to trade. But I still think holding is the surest way to get bitcoin.

Now Bitcoin is growing and it's better to take positions to buy.

Your strategy should fit on your skills. You can make more money if you have knowledge about what you are doing. Short term trading is risky job because the price of all cryptocurrencies are always changing.

in my opinion making trade is every time gets profit. but this is not same thing with gambling. taking right decissions on altcoin invesment is more wise way than holding btc.

there will be time to hold the coins you own until the coins are sold because you realize if you sell cheap, you will only get a loss. I prefer to apply both because not always trading you do can always benefit you

after a huge loss in trading now i advice everyone to buy aand hold coins sell in prfit and then buy in drop

According to statistics, those who are engaged in the acquisition of coins and their long storage earn a lot more than fast-traders

If you are new to this market thi thi I think you should keep. Trading in waves will require you to have a lot of experience in the market. This will make you safer when investing.

I believe that at this point you should start trading, you can see that the prices of bitcoin and altcoin are increasing sharply in the past few days, the capitalization of the stock market has also increased markedly when it has crossed the mark. $ 400 billion. I believe you can completely trade and the trade will be very successful when the market is uptrend.

Both are very different things. Once you invest into a coin, you firstly must know on what terms you are. Ask yourself a question are you going to hold the coins or are you going to be a trader. Trading takes some time to learn and is more risky than being a regular holder of coins. It also requires experience by the trader as there are a lot of altcoins which eventually fall apart and you're left with nothing. Holding coins is much easier than being a trader, both take an equal amount of time, trading with experience and holding long-term also takes time. You'll eventually get the hang of being a trader, but in the meantime you will get your money doubled or tripled of that one coin which you've been holding.

You can see that the market is recovering very clearly, bitcoin prices are rising strongly and can break the $ 9400 level and is likely to continue to increase in the long run. So, I think you can either trade or keep a profit. The market is showing up trend so the trade will become very easy, you will be able to profit from the hold and trade.
