 The market now gradually increasing and seems like good idea to gain quick profits in my opinion.  What's your view guys?  Is there a tends that it will constantly to rise  after day or two or it will stop increasing again? And kindly suggest which is better way now  "gaining quick profits or keep holding until the bottom of this pump?" )'cause im very confused now which is good strategy and i don't know what to do.

Personally, I wouldn't go short in this trend. It looks like we are off and running so it's hard to short at this point. I would rather join the wave  and see where it will take us, it could end around $4500-$5K. With that said, I would go long and see how it goes.

This is just my opinion, always remember that there are risk involved, so it's really up to you to make the final decision.

Why not do both?Sell a part of your bitcoins and HODL the other part.I'm not giving any advice here,but maybe this is something I would do.The profit would be smaller,but if the bitcoin price crashes soon,you will have some fiat money to buy cheap btc.

I tend to choose gaining quick profit for safer portfolio. This is what I learned from the volatile market of cryptocurrency. As long as you're in doubt, be practical. However if you really see a lot of potential and you're very sure, then go for it; hold until your tp has been reached.

Totally depends on what kind of risks you are willing to take and how skilled you are at understanding the market. Making quick profit (short term trading/investment) means higher risk. If the market goes against your prediction, then you will be suffering huge loss. On other hand, if you keep on holding (long term investment), there is a high chance you will be making profit, though the time length might be high. This is the safest option (assuming you do believe at the potential of crypto currencies).

It really just depends on you. If you're actually good at doing short-term trading, then go for it. If you'd rather simply invest for the long term and do something else, then just keep holding. You can simply just ask which is better. Might not be directly related, but it's pretty much like asking what job should you take or what degree you should strive for. It depends on you and only you can answer your question.

That is right, it really depends on you and please don't rely on other opinions so that if you got failed on this no one can you blame.
But here is my opinion IF I were you, I rather hold and patiently wait at the right moment when my profit was there. And if I have a spare budget it is being nice if I invest more in Bitcoin because I know we just on the beginning bullish trend, it's not too late to invest more.

Gaining good profits when there is a sudden change in the market happens is a good idea but it depends on the people who want to make an effort for it since most of the want to be long term investor.

For myself, it is better to gain a small profit at this moment because it is difficult to see the price can increase. Besides that, I am sure that if the price increase, the next moment we will see are the price will make a correction and it means, the price will go down. But the question is we don't know how deeper the price will down. So I think it's better to sell some amount to get the money back and wait for another dump to buy more and wait for the next chance for the increase in the price.

I would prefer to do quick trading, in my opinion it will be much more certain because we will be able to reduce the risk of losing. Indeed, sometimes most of the benefits will be small, but it will be safer and even we can take as much profit as possible. The intensity of the benefits that we achieve can be collected and the amount can even increase compared to we wait. it all depends on the strategy that we do. Focusing and always trying to get momentum will make yourself achieve good results.

I will go for holding unless you are a trader looking for daily profit. Taking out quick profit might be regretful in the future. Imagine you have 1 btc which is worth $4000, and you waited for btc to get to $4200 and then pulled out, you made $200 gain but what if bitcoin grows to $4500 and never drops to $4000 anymore, that means you actually lost because you can't buy back at $4000.

The question is? How would you know the bottom of the pump? No one right? Asking on what should we do is depending on what we are engaging on. As long we are making money no matter what method are we using then it should be fine.
Shorting is the best as of this moment,previous days do really have some good volatility which can give out profits if you did able to ride.

You're doing it wrong. You shouldn't ask people whether you should buy or sell because of one, they're not in the same financial situation as you and two, no one really knows If the price is going up or down.

I can tell you this though, If you are holding multiple cryptos, then you should basically sell everything and keep the solid ones (when I say solid  I mean based on userbase, etc.) and also do your own research on these projects, you will be surprised by how many coins fail to deliver their promised projects.

OP, Bitcoin is not a commodity for "quick profit". It's a decentralized, censorship-resistant, provably scarce cryptocurrency that, I believe, will become a global reserve currency one day.

HODL.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DT8Ap4UU8AADKzg?format=jpg&name=medium

I have join crypto over 5 years and the answer is HOLD
If you're joined crypto since 2009, the answer is HOLD

And for now, the answer still same, HOLD.
For me, crypto is long term investment, period.

We are no wizard here than can predict the future and it will always be your choice.

The truth is it gets harder now because the rise is getting larger. Regrets will be there for selling early and also vice versa for buying.

HODLing might come in handy for days only but dont go being emotional and holding it for a long time if it aint bitcoin.
Besides you are in a trading thread so buying and selling in a short time is needed.

I prefer keep holding because it gives you a better chance of better reward. Not holding for a while neither, I mean holding for years. I am collecting bitcoin like its going to be a million dollars one day, I doubt it will ever reach those prices but I do believe that if I react like that even if it reaches 50 thousand dollars one day I will be super rich. Having 9 bitcoins at these prices equals to 36 thousand dollars or so and if it reaches to 36 thousand dollars (which I believe one day it will) that means 9 times the profit which equals to having 324 thousand dollars.

Look at the difference, 36 thousand dollars could make a lot of changes in ones life, you can live in USA and change small things like get a new car, or you can live in a third world country like me and get a house if you want. However, having 324 thousand dollars even in USA would change a lot while in a third world country could change your whole life.

In my own opinion, it's quite risky though. You might be tempted to rush in to sell in order to buy quickly again. But have you consider, what if the price keeps increasing and buying back becomes hard or a problem.
Moreover, it also depends on how fast you are in selling and buying back.  The choice is yours though .

I think you should set profit and loss targets. It will help you solve this worry. This is the situation of unprecedented trading speculators.
You need to set it up and place the order exactly what you set out. Not more and not less.
In the field of investment, you need discipline and persistence, if you can't practice to have it, you will easily fail.

If you feel like the trend isn't going to last, collecting profits for now, if you're already up by a considerable percent is good. Always trust your gut feeling when it comes to trading, as most of the time that would be the correct decision. However if you have already built a significant sum of holdings in your arsenal, it's best to just hold and wait for a better selling opportunity rather than be eager and excited to offload it now. You just need to know what sort of strategy are you going to use in order to take advantage of the current situation.

If you know what are you doing you will go for quick profits, if not, keep holding

Each of us has a different perspective on which we are comfortable getting profit, but I personally can wait and hold then do trading which is just like you gamble your capital, unlike hold and wait it is less risk but you need the patience to wait for how many months or more worst year(s). Just do where you are like to have a profit or else you can choose that both, while you are holding, do some trading in your holding capital.

I would tried the following strategy: if 15 min time frame is of positive trend for 7-9 candles then I open Buy position and set TP at 100 pips (or 100 USD) and then close a position.

then I make the same thing but with 2x volume.

and of course every trader must be ready for losses. especially when it comes to margin trading.

Holding may have been the key to those who bought Bitcoins a few years ago and Sell last December 2017 and booked big profits. However, to those who claims holding is still the key to gaining profits, try to tell that to those who bought Bitcoins last December 2017 when it is at ATH. I know a few friends of mine who sold their coin at loss and just move on and they already earned or recovered their loss already by day trading.

Your trading strategy is interesting but in my opinion, your tactics can lead to losses if you do not read the news and monitor the current situation on the entire crypto-exchange market.

I do not like to hold coins without solid reasons so I personally prefer to quickly make profits. I just try to hear rumors and buy a promising crypto-currency. Then I wait for the growth of its price, for example, by 10-15%. I often place the trailing orders to gain a maximal profit.

I believe that it is necessary to know how will the coin you bought will be improved by its team in the future.

The best way is to set aside some for long term while some will be for trades and quick profits. This is common and confusing as sometimes it is regrettable when the prices are going down too deep and when it increases a lot. So why not do both?  ;D

Well if you got in during the 3k level btc, i guess it's a decent option to make profit from this green movement. I don't think this'll be a sustained green market to warrant a bull run anyways. But for me personally, i'm not in a hurry. Until bitcoin really gets back on it's feet, i'm going to hold.

Holding is good but if you know how to get in out quickly with little profits I think it is more advisable. Bitcoin is going to recover and it means if you can hold for long you will make money but not all of us can endure that.

I use both the quick selling and holding on process in different situations because we don't move on only with the same strategy and it will not work in all time so if you want to make the process of your investment more stronger you need to do they both things in different types of situation violet needed.

I agree it do gradually increase so the day traders kept grabbing small profit instead of holding for better. Currently we've been seeing a minimal volatility, but still the market cannot move since many sellers is acting quickly instead of putting patience as their tools to survive and gain much higher profits.

It's still early to say that price is gradually increasing. But to my mind there is still good possibility to make some nice and quick profit. But if you want steady profit, holding for long term is better, on fast moves, you may profit or lose and on long term holding you wait and wait until price rises and there is very high chance it will rise hugely in some years, traditionally price was always rising after halving which happens once in four year, 20K price was follow to last halving.

For beginners, holding is the safest choice that they could choose and the rest needs some advance skills to quickly gain some profit. For traders who do short, well, this is the right time to do it since the market is slowly rising each day. But i won't let that get in my head because I've been a victim of a bull trap before. So, take as much profit would you like as long as you can manage the losses.

It totally depends on you, on one hand, the profit is really good at the moment and on the other hand, I think the real rally still did not start so it is totally up to you whether you want to take the risk or not. I myself will be holding as I believe that the real uptrend does not start yet and I have big feelings it will be big, I just do not want to miss it after all this waiting time.  :D

Just remember one thing for every risk there is a profit.

the price drops a lot and goes up a lot, this is a good opportunity to make quick profits, as long as you know what you are doing and have money that you know you can afford to lose. For example, when the price dropped to $ 3400 and now rose to $ 3950, it was a good opportunity to sell and make a profit. because the price will hardly exceed $ 4000 without falling, and when fall take the opportunity to buy. of course if the price does not fall then you should wait until the day you fall ... but it will depend if you want to have many dollars or if you want to have many bitcoins

I think the big question is whether we can see a break in 4200 support with enough volume. I consider this range where today is an excellent zone of accumulation. And I'm buying whenever I can, but a fall may occur to find the fund.

Bull traps is manageable if you do able to make some analysis with some technical tools but as said these wont really give out precise predictions because price
can broke out those analysis anytime.
For noobs out there then holding is the best choice specially if you dont know on what you gonna do.Dont rush up on making profits.

Exactly.We should not be over confident with this small price increase as this might drop again in the next days.I still prefer to hold my coins and just wait for a real bull run wherein i can gain sure and huge profit.It's still better to have security than making such actions that will make us regret in the end.

Why not both. If you have enough capital to do both i think it is good to do trade and invest. I mean invest in long term coins like BTC or maybe ETH. And then trading in market with new tokens, it can give good profit now and in future.

I am looking for a short-term investment also when it comes to new tokens or coins. Relatively, they have short lifespans. BTC and eth are for long-term ones. On my end, it is still good to invest in these 2 currencies, and better buy while it is not in its peak. Their prices are slowly increasing. So better get on the boat before it's too late.

It all depends on you if you are an investor, buy a good coin that has a bright future and hold 1-2 more years, then you will get a good profit, but if you are a daily trader, then buy coins that are down to trading volume the high, it will make you make a profit, hope it helps.

If you want to gain quick profits, it’s better to get it in a casino. It’s not always going to be a great outcome but that’s just how the way it works. Something similar would be a margin trading exchange that has leverage. You could borrow money and trade with it, it’s like gambling just with the risk involved. Then there are the lucky ones, who HODL that specific coin and it gained ~100% above and sold it for a very big profit. It’s hard to have that because you have to wait a longer time with it.

I’m just suggesting that in what decision you make, you should know what you are doing. Regret nothing. I’m thankful for Gunbot to automatically trade for in different exchanges.

Quick profits will not help you to make much money but with holding you can make decent profit but you need to invest bulk amount in order to make decent profit by holding them in long term. I see people who are holding long term will always make decent profit when compared to short term holding.

Day traders can always make profits whether it's a bearish day or a bull run simply because the market is volatile, they can adapt into it and make it favorable on their side. But for small investors like me, selling/buying is not as simple as 1 2 3 because a bad decision means a loss of money. So right now, I continue to hodl and wait for a further increase of price before selling so that I can max out the profits I could possibly get :)

Gaining profit so early is so hard to earn huge money but it is safe for me. Because you can't hold but you will not loss because hold is the most risky way to gain profit also.

Since you are a trader, I think hold with stop loss will be better once you are on profit. If pump more in case then you could gain good profits. If dump then also you have profit. If you not use stop loss and if suddenly dump your hold coin so you will be on loss. That mistake I did in previous trade and still now holding on loss. So hope you will not mistake like me.

gaining profit too early is easy but too risky . you can do it when you play gambling and when you invest on pump & dump coins .  id rather go on earning small money in a slow but in continuous way than fast and easy money in a risky way because the chances of getting busted is verry high  .


if thats true then all traders are now rich . im a trader but why im still here in the forum collecting some coins to add in my trading capital . market is always in dump and that is the reason why traders cant sell thier coins in a good price .

Isn't it precisely with the desire to get quick profits that we have a considerable risk in trading or investing. so to get a small profit quickly I think it's quite relevant

I will advice you open two positions a buy and sell position at both ends.....above and below.. That way u minimise your loss and could make a bigger profit

What you say doesn't make much sense at all. In most cases, people with sense have two different stashes, one for long term holding purposes and one for short term speculation.

If you're so afraid of holding, you can always choose to leverage short 10% of it and have it retain it's $$ value would the price tank. This is how miners and pretty much every major payment gateway works as well; it's a solid way to preserve value over longer periods of time. It's just a matter of common sense, but with how most people here are blinded by greed, even common sense is too much to ask for. ::)

I don't think your way is too guaranteed to be able to get big profits because the cryptocurrency price movement cannot be predicted so it is difficult to be able to find out the right position to buy coins, the safest is to buy when the price touches the cheapest price.

Bitcoin prices have increased by around 8-10% over the past few months and many claim that this may be the 'bull run' this year. Based on the market prices, the top 5 altcoins in the market have shown positive results and the prices have been steadily increasing. But from this data alone, there are also some factors to consider about the volatility of prices.

For your query, at the time being, I highly recommend that you diversify your investments by focusing in other investments mechanisms like stocks, bonds, and banks interests. For bitcoin, I suggest that you focus on the SHORT TERM aspect as the market is unpredictable. Set your goals and know your profit margins. Regardless of the increase, treat it as an opportunity to make a quick buck.


In all honesty, investing into cryptocurrency is a big risk. The only way to minimize each loss is to extensively study the market and observe each data. I highly suggest that you focus on short-term investments AND allocate a specific portion of your income for LONG TERM.

As it is in the market, I think neither one nor the other, if you have enough stomach to endure some months, maybe years, I recommend you keep, but what to do at this time is very risky, I recommend you do a good analysis of the market, as is the scenario, remember that liquidity zones are being created in 3600usd to 3800usd, if it is much more likely that the price will go back, you have to keep in mind the volume when prices are going up and down, there There is all the information that is needed.

if I myself depend on the benefits that will be obtained because if in a fast time I can get a good profit then I will sell but if not then I will hold it first until the coin will experience a good increase

It really matters of the amount we invested for, the bigger amount the bigger chances to gain huge profits but of course it will depend on how we work on it and of what coins we invested. We can't even gain profit if we don't work for our investment and have to invest the high gaining coins even its price is higher than of the others.

if for now if you can get a quick profit just take it because it becomes your chance to get a profit in this bear market, but if you want to get a big profit just hold it

i would suggest holding until we see the good price it is all time favourable to hold gaining for fast profits or doing panic selling crypto holders will get efforted in both fomo and fud situations so better to do research in  development projects

Couple of things help me to decide what should I be doing it . Firstly if I require money in short term then will sell on some small profits . Secondly if coin which I am holding can yield results in long term then will keep it or else will sell in short term .

For market conditions now fortunately have very high risk. I'd advise you to small but consistent profit in addition to the more secure profit consistently is also not less good because market conditions are still down.

The situation makes a person to made decision like selling it very quickly or take your investment to long term investment so depends upon the situation you can change your opinion about your investment this will be the right way also.

I think holding your investment for long time will be more profitable than getting your investment quickly because you don't know which is the right time to buy and sell so keeping them holding for long term then definitely it will be more profitable time to get your income.

The crypto market will take a longer time to recover again, it is now going up slowly, so I think that selling in this situation isn't the best decision. I prefer holding my coins and tokens actually rather than selling with the actual low rates; to make bigger profits in the future.

Agreed, gaining good profit is not that easy with cryptocurrency. For this user needs to hold it for a long or he needs to be lucky to earn big from cryptocurrency investment on trading. With the current market situation it is good to go with buy and have patience to get back the profit.

It's the same to me. Hold for too long and you gain profit and yes there was a trend that was constantly rising day after day but unfortunately it has run out of it's luck and it is currently on a price that no one dreamed for yes it is BTC. There are tons of trends that are usually gaining profits but the patterns are impossible to decipher. It is better to hold it for a long time if it is BTC but other than that I would have a hard time thinking about it.

Situation is simple, if you bought like I did at 3000 dollars it`s time for thinking to get some profit or to wait a bit more, we have nice uptrend in last 7 days. If it touch 4300 dollars I will sell some from the amount I bought at 3000$. In trading you need to have several entry points and according from your entry points when price starts to grow you dump some. It`s how you trade with bitcoin, but holding long term is something else, everyone should have some bitcoins on a side, that amount should be independent from trading amount.

Depending on what the market is in right now. If you feel like you can gain profit by doing day trading then it's your decision to make. Also holding is not a bad idea since there will come a time that price of your coins will pump and all you need is patience. But for me, the best idea is to do a quick trade whenever you see some pump from your coins. In that way you can assure profit even little by little.

that is very correct when it comes to cryptocurrency investments or any other investments of yours. never put all your eggs in one basket so to speak. and if you have the immediate need of fiat, you can do the short-term trading even in bitcoin. but if not, i prefer holding my btc or eth. it all depends in your current requirements. but in terms of altcoins or tokens, on my end, i want to get them rid of as much as possible as the likelihood of declining its value is very fast.

Profiting Its absolutely between us and the market, we decide what could be the best for us. I'm pretty many will choice quick gains but how it supposed to happen if we don't work hard for it, not unless we just scam others.
It may also great if we hold the other coins we have while do trading, it is just how I made it and be more profitable rather than of keep on waiting.

Divide your investment into two and sell one half, hold the other half. if you do that so you can guarantee your investment But on the other hand you reduce the amount you will earn with dividing the investment amount. If I were you, I will do hodl. Of course, this is my personal opinion.

Yeah it's also a good idea because the price isn't too high compared to last year. holding can lead to higher profits. but you should to have more patience for this, because prices might take a long time to recover, but if you want a quick profit then use the opportunities that come like now to sell and buy when prices fall back

If it is for sure that you will gain quick profits then I will go for that. Honestly, i was a hodler for almost a year now and frankly, it is tiring. They were days that I thought I will just sell my coins in a deficient amount but then i keep on holding. That is why if I will be given a chance to take small profits but quick, I'd rather choose it.

Why would it be tiring if you are just going to wait for it? I think you could just wait for the price or set the alarm for your price and then sell it. Don't you think it's better that way? You could continue with your life whatever you are doing and just let it be? I think automatically trading it with a bot could increase your profits automatically too. That's way better.

When the market is recovering it is very good to hold the coins instead of selling them for less profit. I faced these type of situation many time by selling them for low prices and suddenly the price of coin starts increasing. So it is always good to wait for the market to increase the prices.

No one can tell if the improvement we currently see are going to be consistent for the coming days, the market is high volatile so possible changes can happen in snap hence the decision is yours.

If you're contented with small profit then you can sell now, as long as you have profit even how much it is thats all that matters. As for me I believe in the saying "good things can happen for those who wait" so I set a target price when to take profit because im a long term hodler.

It will depend on your strategy, for me its better to hold for long term because I planned to invest in bitcoin for long term to see a bigger profit, the situation now is very unpredictable if you got time to see the chart and follow the news then go ahead take a quick profit and buy again, according to experts bitcoin price will go sideway, so if your timing is correct then you can make a lot of profit

were on the same boat . im also a long term investor and i prefer to hodl for a longer time because i see that bitcoin can have a big future ahead . gaining quick profits can be best suitable for traders most especially day traders because they are the ones that buy and sell actively  , they were also the ones that monitor the market more often  .


waiting is indeed verry tiring because the market usually increase and pump after every final quarter of every year  but if your goal is to wait for the highest possible ath  then that could take alot of years of hodling  .

In my own view the little increase of bitcoin is an opportunity to to get quick profits those who want to get little earnings for their needs. So i advice for you if didn't need quick profits just stay hold your bitcoin and wait for another repump but if need profits for your needs sell it don't hesitate because we here to fulfill the needs of our lives.

It depends on the coin that you have, Not all of coins are suitable in holding and in daily trade. Actually, it is more hard to daily trade than to do hodl. Gaining quick profits is not easy as you think because it requires a lot of time in analyzing and understanding the graph in order to enter and exit perfectly in the market.

If you go through the history of those people who have made names in cryptocurrency, you would come to know how long actually it took them to make the profit out of their investment. I think that you have to stay and stay part of this market.
Do not think about cashing out so soon. Hold for long and you might come across a time when you would be immensely happy with your decision of holding. This thing is getting expanded.

while you can get a quick profit and the results are good just take it because the opportunity doesn't come twice, but if it's not good we hope it's better to keep holding until the coin can get a good profit

if that depends because if as a daily trader it would be great to get a quick profit but if as a coin holder or long-term trader it is not suitable to get the results

I prefer to make a small amount of profit, and I would prefer to transfer this profit margin to my wallet without waiting too long, because the investor who is constantly waiting in this market is always losing money. I don't want to say that recently, although the volatility is low, recent price fluctuations have provided a good profit margin. Although I am considering keeping my profit margin on long-term basis, I am sure to use this money in my trading transactions.

Exactly it is good time for both, if you find things go in favor for holding then keep holding and if you want to make profit better to trade for day but make sure you are well aware of all rules and all things about day trading, according to my experience I would suggest holding and waiting rather than being urge and excited, you just need to know what kind of strategy you are going to use and for how long.

For newbies, holding is the most secure decision that they could pick and the rest needs some development aptitudes to rapidly increase some benefit. For dealers who do short, well, this is the correct time to do it since the market is gradually rising every day. In any case, I won't let that get in my mind since I've been a casualty of a bull trap previously. In this way, take as much benefit would you like as long as you can deal with the misfortunes.

Even when we're into long term holding it is good to get into trading in between. This will let the user get quick returns as the market is completely volatile and fluctuate. This has got risk associated with it, but we need to prepare ourselves to overcome and get the best profit out of the same.

In additional to your positive input, I think the question is what mindset the author is coming into the market with ? Trader mindset or an investor mindset ? This is fairly significant in making decision if to hold or take quick profit.

As we all generally know that short term trading requires lots of time and dedication to be invested in it also bearing it in mind that you must essentially be buying and selling a handful of crypto virtually every day. To round this up, I will advise holding for long term in order to give room for huge profit and at the same time enable an environment for other sources of income.

That is the risk that you should be willing to take.
Are you going to take the profits by now or will you still wait. Problem of traders is there.  ;D
They are getting attached with the token thinking it will rise more.

As a trader you must remove that from your thought. It is not going to help you to make profits. You should not regret every transaction that you will make.

All strategies are good, you actually may chose any of them and be satisfied with results, because of both of strategies may bring you big profit and I guess that is exchatly what your target is.

Yes.You can really have both if you are willing to take the risks.Short term trading is more risky so if you think you have your own skills that will help you to make quick profit in the end,then go.You may also hold some of your coins and make bigger profits once the market turns green again.In the end,its your own decision that will prevail.

I agree with both also, knowing that you could use both scalps, get trades/profits in the short term, also in the long run where you could manage to get a big swing trade. Making it automatic is what makes it better. I trade scalps and big swings with Gunbot. It easily trades for me, and it has a lot of strategies. I think you won't regret checking it out.

To just get rid of all the hassles of quick profits making process, most traders are adopting long-term holding tactics. If you look for peace of mind along with great profit-making opportunities then you must go for keep holding regardless of how quickly you see profits from your trades. I never look for gaining quick profits even I have disappointed with my strategy many times still I am following long-term holding alone because bitcoin must be a good example and great reason why I am still preferring keep holding.

In recent time, I bought waves for 35k satoshi and in 3 to 5 weeks of time itself it raised up to 110k saotshi but I opted to continue my holding and right now it is reading around 70k satoshi. I am still in profit zones but I target for big things in next 2 to 3 years of time.

It will depend upon individual as if people require urgent money then short term strategy would apply where gaining quick profits will help them. And if they do not require for long time then accordingly can invest in long term coins so that they can big money.

Yes but sometimes it's better to determined which strategy you can really maximized your gains, so these will be a continues debate for as long as people see this two strategy working, and fits on their goals.

I'm sure majority is really holding and cling to the hope that bitcoin will one day make a good run and the prices goes to $20k-$30k, and then that's the time you book for your profits.

But for those speculators, they wanted to earn money everyday or every two weeks or so, in this market. So it's up to your capacity as a person, if you can take the risk trading then you can do quick profits and then live another day, but if you're somewhat timid and doesn't want to complicate your daily life then holding is for you.

 I'm doing 50/50, im trying to trade some coins with half of my asset are on cold storage and separate account, So i can hold with a chance of gaining quick profits. Almost all of the traders now are scared of the market situation we have right now and i can say that holding is the best way to have a safe journey this 2019.

Good strategy mate, separating between long and short term trade, investing inside this volatile market is really scary and if you don't have a clear plans
it's hard to manage not being moved by the current sway, with how you deal with your assets it's giving you the chance to take advantage of both system, hold the other part and play with the other part.

Well the market has been on the increase in the past one week now and if you have invested a huge sum of money when its value was down below$3000 and you want to take profit it is a good idea but if you want to hold for more profit so be it as you are responsible for your decision.

If every week the market will goes up and remain at ease up to 1 month almost, meaning we are already starting the bull run.
Because way back 2017 Bitcoin and altcoins goes up almost every week in the market until a couple of moths which has been past.
So for now I cannot say its a sign. Lets stay still to keep our hold altcoins.

Right but I am one of holder as I am not in favor to invest and sell faster because profit will come but time will be gone so be very careful while making any decision, as I have seen so many people suffering only because of being greedy to get fast profit, so better get slower but safer if we will keep holding I am sure it can save us from huge danger.

Try day trading. It is not that complicated.
You can use the following strategy: if 15 min time frame is of positive trend for 7-9 candles then I open Buy position and set TP at 100 pips (or 100 USD) and then close a position.

then I make the same thing but with 2x volume.

Well, quick profits are not bad either. I think if you are a visitor in the crypto-market, you would not mind quick profits but if you are in for the long term money, invest and hodl for long. Long because if you hodl it for long, the prospect of making big profits increases. So you should really focus on making the long term profits rather than going for the short term.

In my own point I will say you take profit where possible because the ways of the market its self is unpredictable and if you for any means want to be greedy it will dump on you.

This is very true, when trading at that level, not only will you have a better understanding of the market but the profits will be very large, and the risk may partially decrease.

There is nothing much better, it all depends on the strategy that we do.
We can make various decisions and the goal remains the same, namely to make a profit.
So this all depends on the situation and conditions when we are trading.

Same with my visions regarding how we manage to gain profit, it doesn't mean to be fast as a norm for everybody to acquire. Yes we want money, but when it comes to trading shorter terms of our asset it's not wise enough to think of because while we're in red days of the market that's really ineffective. Fluctuations will always make it more worst, and probably you'll see your coin dumped at very smaller value and cannot recover that fast when you panic just for quicker profit.

Gaining quick profit from your investment required you to invest huge amount of money for you to be able to make significant amount of money since you want to trade in a short time period. Holding for a long time may yield you more profit but some times it has its has its disadvantages.

Not just of having huge funds but also the right choose of coins. Even though we have those things but I've never think there is a quick gaining market, it really needs time for us to generate. Looking into quick gains will put you at high risk cause that's the main target for scammers offering quick and high percentage of returns but it turns out into nothing once you'll done sending your money. Beware this thing, better to wait the right moment.

for traders it is better to get a little profit but fast than to expect a lot of profit but wait for a long time. Crypto trading moves very fast, so traders are more suitable when trading on a daily basis. To be able to get to continuously, big and small values ​​are not a problem.

In my opinion, choose a safe method if you are feeling confused. The best method now is to sell a portion of your coin to keep a portion of your initial capital, and HODL the rest. but not only HODL is enough, must "choose the gold sender" if you want sustainable and safe profits.
If you are a long-term investor and the amount of investment does not affect your life much, HODL all the money invested in BTC and ETH for 3-4 years, it will make a difference.
My english is bad, sorry everyone ;D

I haven't understood, what you are talking by gaining quick profits. When did you invest in crypto? Are you in profit at this market? Do you have a plan for a small profit? I think most of the investors here I mean crypto, for a big profit with big ambition.

I think it will only increase in 1-3 days and then it will end, it will quickly go down. So don't try to hold it. It will make us lose a big profit.
This is a good time to buy low and sell high. As long as you place the order at the right time, you will get significant profit.

I think we should speculate and not hold for long. You know, our market is currently fluctuating and it's quite predictable. We should not waste this time to speculate.
Besides, the long-term investment concept in the crypto market seems quite outdated. businesses do not pay dividends for us, the prices of coins go up are not too high, ... these are disadvantages for long-term holding strategy. speculation will bring wealth in the crypto market.

Learn some lesson about holding an alt for so long and it made me loss my huge percentage of my capital and now I'm trying to recover it back by  gaining a quick profit from pump and dump happening, and for this current happening in the market I think it's best for us to hold a half and earn quick with the other half.

my open a nice keep them holding will be the safer side to make your profit more stronger because if you sell it quickly then the future will not care about you and if you made a new investment only it will be for you so keep holding will give definitely some profit on the future I trust them also.

Well it again depends on what you want from the market. Are you a visitor here to make quick money ? Or are you here to have a part in the technology that is going to revolutionize the entire world and the financial system in future? The answer could be very simple and the reward for both the options is very different.

Better, choose what you want. The long term is more lucrative in terms of profit than the short term.

It's better to gain some profit very quick than hold because holdinh some coins is so risky from now we don't expect what will gonna happen if you are gonna loss or not.

Try not to place yourself in dilemmas, some coins always bullish in the long term. But, who are interested in finding quick benefits may concentrate low market cap cryptocurrencies/ICOs with a potential, that sure about short gain.

The crypto market seems on uptrend, you may hodl to see the next pump or sell now to gain a quick profit. Personally, I recommend you to sell now and you will have the chance to buy at a low price again. Because this is not a bull run trend, therefore you will have a good profit already.  Otherwise, You may sell 60% of your total assets and hodl left 40%! This is my suggestion for you, think twice before making any decision in this bear market.

I prefers taking quick profits while the price pumps rather than hodling for instance the price pumps to $3900 recently I will take profits and wait for a pullback then buy and accumulate while waiting for another upward rise while repeating the same process continuously.

only daily traders expect quick profits in the current market situation, I think if we can easily throw away the coins we have just to get a quick profit because the current market situation tends to experience a slight increase, we can feel sorry in the future when the price moves has experienced a very sharp increase in the future. it would be nice if we could hold it in the right time to be able to generate greater profits in the future

Crypto trading is full of risk and speculation. and don't forget the main purpose of trading is to take advantage. the decision to leave or hold is part of a trading strategy. You have this important point and profit is the main goal of your strategy.

You've got the point mate and that exactly some traders do, never loss any chances to make gains and that's all we wanting.
And those who wanting quick profits will be the one who loss their money and hope. It actually there is no easy money in this world and what of many individuals thought about crypto are absolutely wrong, still need hardworks and patience.

Yeah right, with hard work and patience you will be able to achieved  goals that you've desired to reached, there's no easy way but for people who loves to take the risk and knows how to be calm and patience this industry can bring huge gained after holding for some time, different approach and different perceptions but most of us wants same outcome.

I would choose gaining quick profits for now. I will wait first for the Facebook's coin to be released and see how it goes. If people accepted and it  became very successful and it lifted the crypto space as well then that is the perfect time I will start doing the HODL. But I know that it will because after the data breach, users of fb has no choice but to still use it because it became part of their daily lives.

That would be big but for sure there's already institutional investor for that coin and we will not see it at its inception price here, should be higher.
Facebook will surely bring significant contribution to the market if they will release their coins successfully as it would have a big trading volume.

Advice from some experts that you might be able to use to make a profit is when the market rises it is easier to make a profit by trading and when the market goes down it is easier to make a profit by holding. You say the market starts to rise, then Gaining quick profit will be better in my view. I don't dare to say whether tomorrow will be a bull or bear on the market because what will happen to crypto the next day is very difficult to see.

Actually the main goal in the trade is certainly keep getting profit right? but in certain market conditions, sometimes it requires you to hold your coins for a while because you are sure prices will rise again after that, but this is about your choice right? if you want to keep profit then cutlose and buy another coin

The fact is that today it is very difficult to choose between daily trading and long-term storage of all its assets. Somehow, another way to make a profit is very risky. Nevertheless, if we have confidence in the prospects of certain projects, then it is really better to make a choice of their benefit. In any case, if we only think about making money on the difference in price, then this bears an even greater percentage of risk, and for this you need to spend a lot of time to control the entire cryptocurrency market.

Right.With this very volatile market,i think it's still better to keep on holding until you see the highest peak and only then you can sell your coins.But we can also chose to have them both.We can still make quick profits by trading some of our coins and some are left to be hold.In this way,we can still make smaller profits in just few days.

Cryptocurrency is not a get quick profit scheme, as many people think. As the market has been in bearish mood, making profits have been very difficult. Recently, a few coins have pumped, but still holding is the best strategy.

In the view of some people, holding,it is underestimated because it does not necessarily give a big advantage, even though in my opinion holding is the easiest way you can do to get big profits, but it does require high trust and patience for that, and rightfully so

Gaining  quick profit will always help you to make very less amount of money, but if you manage to wait for sometime you will really make more than that. Already I have experienced this type of situation in the market, because we should always give some time for the market to start increasing their prices.

Firstly, i will suggest you, gain profit but if you think quickly you wanna gain profit, then it will be troubled for you. Sometime we should hold for a time and keep patience in trading then trading reward us.
And about strategy, it is simple strategy in trading, buy coin in a low price and sell it when it price increased. But applying this strategy wise, some time we can get profit and sometime we have lost.   

Short term golas will not make any changes into our life so we need to keep holding to achieve something bigger.I always wanted to do long term trade with huge profits percentage from some of my holdings.But people out there keep dumping even when they see small rise in the price which is really hard for the crypto's future.

Your strategy is one of its kind, I think I might have to follow your footstep too though I have actually been making quick profit before but you know it comes with so much tension especially for people who don’t have much time to really concentrate on trading because of one or 2 things taking our attention away from it.

I just hold my coin and wait till I see any positive increase in it and I think this Facebook coin you mentioned might really add much positive effect to the crypto currency because Facebook has billions of users and when exposed to the system will really create massive growth ?

I'll definitely keep holding my all cryptocurrency. Because I know that if I keep holding my all cryptocurrency now, then I can get more profits in the future. Because of the market condition, it seems that the price of cryptocurrency in the future will also increase. So, in my opinion, it would be more reasonable and profitable to hold cryptocurrency than gaining quick profits. Because I think permanent profits is very good than from the temporary profits.

Thank you

Its depend on what kind of trader who you are, since Im a swing trader I'll prefer to gain quick profit as much as I can sound easy but definitely its so hard to gain profit everyday thats one reason why other prefered to hold for long term.

You can do both, there is profit in the short term and long term, it's still a coin to coin basis if you have the time and you can study the chart and coins that likely to make a profit for short term then go for it, of course, we must never forget to hodl for long term profit, because we are very near to the next long bull run.

I am more inclined to keep cryptocurrencies. I think I will win more over time.  8)

We're also don't know which strategy we should take since we don't know what will happened in the next few hours and or days. The cryptocurrency market is really volatile and we can't predict on what will happen and so the best thing I think is we should do the day trading where we're going to do a trading in just a day this is a good strategy for me since you're going to invest and withdraw it immediately and I think it's the safest because even when you lose you will not going to lose a big amount just like the buy and hold.

But it's up to us what strategy we're going to use, this is just according to my own perspective and idea.

It should be with the current market conditions, you can already imagine which ones are sold and which ones should be HOLD. we cannot judge decisions equally. Because every token we have ofc is to get profit purpose. I think if its like coin/token that owned by exchange, you should HOLD it maybe for midterm is good.

I trade on scalping strategy. I can not say that this is the most profitable strategy in this market. I like it because it does not carry any risks.

That's your choice and we don't need to find another if you feel comfortable with that strategies not unless if it is not effective anymore, but since it still doing great then better to stay it for now.
I know it is difficult if we aren't in full time trader to wok it well and that is some reason why some traders might get into losing due to lack of time and monitoring which is very important in trading. If it is missing, then no need to continue of becoming as a trader.

I would recommend you to utilyze the current situation. The growth trend is really healthy and we can see that the growth is positive growing upward though being very slow in it. Better to split your investment into minimum 2 and select the best coins like ETH and Bitcoin. Trade these coins and yes certainly you will benefit yourself with quick profits.

Once you logged in and buy a coin, there's already a risk. Scalping is a good strategy at this kind of market that we have now because price is moving up slowly specially if you know how to use those tools to protect your investment is sudden drop of price, you are good to go with scalping. When I was a newbie in trading this is how I trade until I learned what they call it. Its better to earn 1.5% per trade than loose 5% per day of your capital.

The choice in your hand, because every time the price keeps going up and down. If you have money to spend at any time to buy then you will always sell it when prices increase which means you can get a quick profit. But when you don't have a lot of money to spend every time the price is low, then at least buying and holding it for the long term is a good choice. Because usually everyone has their own comfort zone and to get out of that zone requires a strong mentality and good skills.

In the digital market, you need to divide your deposit into two parts, one for trading, and the other for the medium term, then the profit will be stable

Both of the choices have their pros and cons. When you hold, you seem to avoid any risks, but this is not true: the tokens can lose in their price. When you deal with daily trade, you can make a mistake fast.

I think what you meant by quick profits is day trading. Day trading is not advisable these days. It's because it is on a high risk and the market is not yet stable. But once the market become stable, that's the time we can trade day by day. Right now, it's up to you to hold or not but if you need the money, you can pull out anytime.

This should be the first option and the best but one can still take a little step forward into trading, I am not advising you to be greedy though so I don’t end up getting blamed for lost coins, but life is full of risk, if we don’t risk trading, how do we know if we can trade or not, which can make us to win more.

When it comes to holding, we are not just talking about 1 or 2 years, it could end up getting to 10 years which is still not a bad idea to hold but within that period, it would have been better if one still try to generate more income by day trading, this is called “using one stone to kill 2 birds”

apologize in advance, but in my opinion all the decisions will be better if you decide it yourself because in investment or trade always involves money or funds so it would be better if we could decide for ourselves the best for our own money.

If you want to gain quick profits then you have to invest in some high risk newly-listed  coins, if you want to keep holding your assets for long-term then it is a rather safe way to earn profits.

It seems to me that in the current state of the cryptocurrency market, even long-term investments already have an increased risk, especially if there is no possibility to really predict the prospects of this or that project for the future. A cryptocurrency market can make adjustments and remove ke projects that could seem very promising.

Yes , both short and long term investments are risky because like what you said cryptos are unpredictable .  cryptos are also volatile and prone to manipulation , add in the other factors such as fud , news , speculation and many more  . those are only few of the reasons why crypto investing/trading is verry risky  . 

both long term and short term can also give you a quick profits because sometimes crypto can pump unexpectedly  but it is still  advisable to do long term if your goal is to earn huge income

For traders unstable market are the best place to make money so it is nothing wrong to day trade on the best or stable market what they need to know is they have high risk of losing their money as well so they need to find their successive strategy to survive the market condition.

Gaining quick profits or keep holding are differ to one another, due to that quick profit is not that easy unless you are expert or have an idea about what you are entering it. And I think there are lot of people people here in the forum applied holding because they knew by doing it they can lessen the risk that are possible to be happen.

The fact is that under the current circumstances in the cryptocurrency market, even long-term investments have increased the number of risks that some carry for a potential investor. It is likely that many projects react negatively to a certain market trend and it is impossible that after some time assets may lose weight very much.

You should have put your holding into good use by trading with it.
"keep holding" not advisable in this current market. You may hold other solid  projects for few weeks or month. Otherwise Day trade and profit from the price swings

This should be on this way since we do have the full control of our funds and listening on others opinion and trading styles wont really
be a guaranteed thing that it can give out success.As long you do profit then it shouldnt matter on what style you are holding but well
each trader do have its own targets either for short term or long term.

I think it is better if you will go for a quick profit because when you want to hold, there is no assurance that it will stake after waiting for a long period of time, here in crypto it is better if you can earn a profit day by day, we should not put our luck on holdings and make that triple or more soon.

In bull market, it's easier to gain a quick profit, but we in a bear market, where there's always constant downtrend.
In bull market too buy the dip and sell the bounce was easier.

The way that I do in this market just basically holding and buying a "bottomed alts" like flo sub 1.5k sats, VIA under 10k. So far it paid off, via got me like 2x, flo on profit etc.

to get a quick profit it is good for daily traders in market conditions like this but if for long-term traders it is not good because most people who hold it can get a big profit

Buy alts when it reach it's bottom is a good idea, because like what you said it will bounce. And it is really work for bear trend like this. Just don't forget to prepare back up because sometime price can be down again.

The type of trading you have opted needs courage and patience if you get a loss. But from your statement it can easily be considered and extracted that you are strong enough to withhold all the wrongs and can better invest in your goods.

Trading is nothing but patience. Somedays are golden that you get fantastic profits and some days are continuously hard that you just become frustrated and think of leaving it but be determined.

I think the best way is to find coins that you deem to be successful and then buy and hodl some that doesnt necessarily means any cheap coin coz you might end up with lots of dead coins it just means coins that will have success or have a working and dedicated team and its philosophy matters to blockchain technology

Yes, we've better to choose coins that have already establish good market price as the best chance that it will move high.
Now if we want to save more and just to invest cheap coins but instead of being profitable might only lead into nothing and maybe just a loss to us.
We gonna correct our wrong perceptions as earlier as possible.

If you do have the money and can take the risk,then why not? As long you do prepare yourself for the worst because any success will vary on the things that you are willing to risk out.If you cant just let yourself
on keep holding then gaining profits for short term is much preferable then active trades will suit you out but the fact this is the hardest part or type of trading.

It seems to me that it is necessary to look at the current situation in the cryptocurrency market in a special way, because both daily trading and long-term storage increase their risks. If earlier, long-term storage provided real opportunities to get more profit, today there is a risk of losing your money due to problems with the project.

Exactly. Like it takes you time to make money in traditional market which is not very easy, same is the case with cryptocurrency.

It is not an overnight thing to make big money in cryptocurrency. Bull Run in cryptocurrency market is not a game of a day. It took Winklevoss Twins to make a billion dollar in Bitcoin in a span of ten years which is a big time. So, be patient and make money.

And how do you even make quick profit consistently? Getting out with a profit of 1 percent or less doesn't seem to be profitable at all not worth the time and effort. Even successful day traders are likely not getting daily profits. If you're like me who, i'd say is just an average trader, i'd lean more on the mid to long term trades. Less risk of falling for sudden market fluctuations.

I been sold 50% of my holding to use day trading, in this situation  of market is better idea doing trading by choose good coin only,  because that coins has more potential  to raise. 

Every crypto just here to help us but it is really our attitude that define how strong the help would be. Yes, altcoins are proving super amazing in this time period. The prices are down and even more to go that way. Just wait, don’t panic, wait for the possible crystal line that goes down most and then buy more altcoins. Keep them with you until prices shoot up and when they moon rocket, just sell them and have good days ahead.

There are coins or crypto for me that is only for a quick profit and there are for long term investment,
If I want to do a quick profit then I would go for the most active alt-coin at the moment ,But for the long term investment then I would go for ETH,EOS and BCH .
It all depends on everyone it depends on our perspective if we want a long term or just a quick profit.

Personal opinion, I think it depends on you and your goal... if your goal is to earn quick money then you should go for a day trading - less profit, less risk and if you really are a serious investor which invested a large amount maybe a HODL would work for you because if you're going a day trading for a large amount of investment the risk is still high.

So I think it's just the same... maybe keep the 50% to HODL and 50% to day trade.

Quick profits are better than keep holding which is personal opinion. Some times back, i kept some fraction of Ethereum and Bitcoin for a period of almost one and half years without any profits but if this was in the case of trading it would have generated some quick profits for me. Trading if apply good skills yield pretty profits daily.

For active traders or people who have more time to oversee the market, getting a quick profit will be better. We can then start waiting for the right time, usually after the price moves down, to jump to the market again for the next profit search.

Not all active traders can easy get profit, some of them also loss, or they loss most of the time.

Gaining quick profits can be done in day trading, but there is only one requirement to be successful, you just need to be good and that
means you need to allocate much time in monitoring the market and put your passion into trading.

Gain in quick profit is good at this market situation. Because today's  market is very bullish. So if you got a profit in short time like in 1-12 hours then you should sell the coin and earn quick profit. If you want to buy again the coin you can buy again the buy zone. So in this strategy you can earn double profit one for quick up to 12 hours again for holding if you buy again buy zone after first sell. 

As long as we can gain the profit, then getting quick profits will be better than nothing. I see that many traders still wait for a bigger profit which they don't know that they can be able to make it or not because the price can get down after they see the increasing of the price. So it's better we take the profit first than too late.

I think not all coins can be applied with short-term trading methods like that, indeed when you use very much capital, maybe the profits you get feel a lot but the risk is also high because you can get stuck at expensive prices.

You are going through a same situation as of mine. I am also confused to take quick profit or hold my coins for a long as market is already down and an uptrend may start sooner or later. What I have planned is to divide my assets, I will sell 40-50% percent of coins if I get a good profit instantly and will hold remaining coins till a certain price. If that coin reaches my planned price I will again sell 50% position and will hold rest coins for next target with stoploss of my first sell price. In this way I have to regret even if market goes down as I had already withdrew profit from my first transaction. I hope this will help you to make a sell plan.

Gaining good profits in a short and keeping hold for long term is completely on users self interest, whether it is quick profiting or long term profiting patience is a must. With quick profiting a better analysis is a must and one should not go emotional. With long term holding there is nothing to worry about, we can just rely on the market and when the expected profit is achieved can make use of it.

If you want to get your money just sell it but Im a trader too and what coin you have I have too and I will hold my coins in my wallet until I reach my target before I sell it because market will rise more for sure in the next few months so you will sure that you gain more money if you are choosing to hold instead of sellung coins.

Holding is also a choice. But, I would prefer to trade instead of holding. Because, we are already in a state of uncertainty, and holding can yield result after years. If you have enough experience, try to evaluate better chances.

In as much as holding is good.... personally, I think it will make logical sense if you sell for quick profit as soon as you are satisfied with the price position of the coin.
Cryptocurrency market is highly unpredictable and so no one would be able to  if the stability of the market will continue for a month etc.
The best strategy is taking profit and then positioning yourself to buy back when the price dips.

It's better to gain profits early to avoid lossing big money for keeping holding it. For me its good to gain profits early for trading to earn lot of money slowly but surely.

I do prefer to choose quick profit, even I get 2% profit. Market nowaday is slow movement. If you will take swing or long term its ok, but you must have good knowing about reversal technical. Reversal technic is good tactic right now.

You have a point too. Most of the traders today are into short term trading because of the aim of making profits consistently even if its just a small one. But remember doing day trading is a very risky one so make sure you know how to drive the risks. But if you want to make huge profit in this market,wait for a long time through holding your coins and wait for a high price increase to sell your coins.

Yes bull run already started for altcoin,  i just surprised with one of altcoin that is BCDN pumping up to 4000% in less than amonth,  and this good sign to trigger other altcoin to pump as well.  Many trader will FOMO and don't  want to miss this trend and more alot of money will enter in to crypyo market. 

of course not to buy altcoins that don't have a future, to holding it I will buy potential coins such as BTC or ETH,
for altcoins, certainly I won't dare to take big risks, altcoin is only suitable for trading

Well, that is right. Altcoins are too risky to invest especially if you don't know how potential it is. Most altcoins are in pump and dump by their dev so it is difficult to hold for a long term. Avoiding risk if you know about you are holding for whether that is good to hold or not. Gaining quick profit on trading altcoins and keep holding on bitcoin which is top of my priority as an investment.

For me, and I think, for many as well, I would rather suggest for you to gain quick profits rather than holding, but an exception to that principle is if you are planning to hold on to Bitcoins or other popular altcoins that have better chances of gaining as compared to those newer ones in the market. I would say that it would be better to aspire for quick gains because, at the very least, you 'gained' something as an investor rather than risking it all for a long term one but is filled with a dark cloud of uncertainty on its path.

I have read many analysis and articles about the current happening in the cryptocurrencies market.  Majority of the speculators are saying that the bear market is over and we have resume the bullish trend.  I do agree with them too and if that is the current position of things it means the bullish trend has resume and we would do ourself good by keep holding.  However,  if you are a day trader it is important you began selling when the market pump and buy when it dump on a daily basis in other to be able to make profits from the cryptocurrencies market.  If you don't know how to day trade then keep holding and when bitcoin recover and grown then you can sell.

Its depend of what kind of altcoin do you hold for long run some altcoin has a potential to shine in the market and theres an altcoin that turn to shitcoin after a months.
For me its better to gaining quickly to avoid some bad event will happen to bitcoin in the near future, if you gain quicky a 10x a day this is good than to hold your altcoin that have no assurance it  will pump up.

You choose either quick profits or keep holding.It's like gamble I think Because Market is unpredictable and we really can't sure what's gonna be happen in next.Last 2-3 days bitcoin is uprising and we can expect this will continue to do so.So, I'll be keep holding and hope that price will go beyond 6-7K.  

It depends on your interpretation. If you think that you have now the right percentage or ROI then you should get the profit. Nobody can dictate you in trading. It's only you and the market. But for me, I think that I'll just keep on holding since bitcoin reached 5000 dollars.

The OP interpretation was about the best strategy which he can apply to make reasonable profit from the recent surge in price of the market which I will advice him to use the holding half of his coin as backup while he use the other part for short term form of trading in other for him not to miss the opportunity cause the surge in price is still not guarantee that the bullish market have totally arrive.

It is a choice that both options are only to get a quick profit or keep holding and both have a side of luck or not, it depends on what happens to the next market. When you make a choice to keep holding, then the market falls then that's where you're unlucky and have to wait longer. But when you make a choice to immediately sell and then the market continues to increase higher, then that is not a loss or a unlucky because you can still take advantage of that moment to buy if you still have high confidence prices will skyrocket.

I prefer holding and making profits when the market is pumped.
I stick with the old concept of buying low and selling high.
But I don't actually do day trading.

Holding is okay but requires a lot of patience. We are looking at holding for 6-7 years. That is when you can get meaningful profits for the time you spent waiting. But holding for 2 to 3 years is kind of useless IMO.

If you have a big portfolio... I think getting short gains should be good especially if you are an active trader

I am a big fan of holding and yes, i still earn with that strategy. Bitcoin's value has started to increase and now is the time of the holders to get profit. I have a lot of patience though so it fits me well.

Depends on what kind of risk taker are you. We all know how volatile cryptocurrency is so if you are a risk taker then keep on holding but question is until when do you plan to hold to gain profits. That's the part where you need to place a goal in mind, do you sell when you reached 10%, 20%, 30% and once you reached your goal, sell right away, being greedy might lead to more troubles like falling into a trap.

Some of me sell and the rest I still hold until it reaches the highest point. Because if you only want to get a quick profit, maybe we will lose the moment when the market value really soars.

Holding and profiting is the best strategy which gives an earning long run. I prefer to give consideration as a long term profiting asset, and in between when there is some form of price fluctuations I used to move the holding funds to make a little profit. This way I've profited as well experienced loss.

Exactly, i am one of them who prefer to hold in trading, but without patience holding is not possible and some persons have no patience and they feel panic and frustrated within less time, holding trading is not suit them. As a trader we should make patienter then we will be able to get big profit in trading.

I guess, it is not bad to get some instant profit sometimes. Who knows what the future holds, we really can't tell if the bear market will take a long time so to make some profit with your investment while there is, take it and what is left is for HODL that will make you become a millionaire when the bull show up.

- Exactly, if we can accept risks and have the courage to continue, we can continue to hold until profits make us satisfied but as you say, all activities in trading need specific plans, need safe and appropriate options. So we can hold but we should still determine reasonable profits, should not be greedy when greed is always a spear that can turn and stab at us at any time, personally, I like to get quick profits, instead of continuing to hold because I always think I can regret it in the future but that won't be the problem, regret will be better than loss, greed is very dangerous in trading

   We have different perspection by analyzing the current situation. Somehow, making profits in a short period of time is not bad for having an instant reason, but holding for long term will give luck to gain huge profits when bullish market occur. And the most preferable thing we could deliberate on is to be wise and keep holding while the market has start to pump gradually.

You better have said it that who knows the future and we should live according to current scenario but don’t you think trading is all about patience. To ensure you are confident on the future and you let everything on stake ? Yes, trading would be this way always. You better know who to strategize yourself so that future can be helpful to you.

No one knows what coming forth but chances and risks are the key for success. If we are not ready to risk our little money then we may get enforced to risk all our money. But, taking risk should be based on calculated levels. We cannot risk blindly.

I am also not in favor to sell my coin at panic, it never get you earn quick profit so after investing once you will have to wait until the lose recovers, better wait to make profit in trading, never expect high profit without any hard work, gain knowledge and wait for you profit to be your luck,  as it takes time for price to be higher and be able to earn profit, holding is the best option.

You can do both actually! Use quppy wallet (availbale both in App Store and Play market) for secure storing your crypto and withdrawing it to fiat once needed. Wallet offers you an opportunity of opening an account in EU bank with personal IBAN. This way you can easily fix the profit and buy back cheaper of needed within a wallet

All depends on what you intend to achieve from your investment portfolio. As for me, am a long term investor though there are some of my portfolio that is meant for every 20 percent gain.

Fixing profits while market is just starting its growth??  Huh Definitely not the best idea!  
As for Quppy - in which bank will I be able to open the account? Or it is the some kind of virtual bank account? Debit cards available?

I guess KYC obligatory for that purpose, right? I wish there was a service to do all that staff ( depositing and withdrawing fiat) without KYC procedure

It is Estonian project so you will open a real account in Estonian bank. As for the debit cards - it will be available in Q2 this year. Project itself is really cool. Working for several month now. It has instant support and really attractive fees. Thats a great solution for start ups and ICOs to cash out funds collected during the ICO


Unfortunatelly, yes. Operating with fiat without KYC is impossible. However there is a way to simplify the KYC procedure for start ups. Contact the team via email

As an investor then risking blindly shouldn't really be done yet we are risking our own funds to get some profits.No one do knows on what happened ahead that's
why we are making our speculations and analysis on what are the things that might happen ahead basing on what we are seeing as of now. Gaining profits either on quick or
for long term it doesn't matter as long you do make money.

for now getting a quick profit is better for earning income than holding because for traders like me it's better to get a quick profit even though it doesn't matter a bit rather than continue to hold but no income

Everyone would like to get quick profit, however not everyone has the skills to do it.
When you are good in day trading, then possibly you can get quick profit, but I believe only few of us has that skills in trading, most of us are holders.

Right, because the price won't experience a real increase if you only hold back for a short time, if you can't hold for 5 years or more
then it's better to sell when the opportunity comes, High patience is necessary for a holder

Same here in case of holding the coins till the maximum possible market value. But in addition to that, I would love to get benefits out of the little rise of the price that is a $1000 benefit is enough for you in a Bitcoin or portion of Bitcoin. The rest would stay in the wallet until I reach my set limit which could be $6000 in the current market because of my low initial price and there could be a change in the strategy as well.

It all depends on your beliefs, because in investment matters it will be related to money. So you better do your own research and manage your own money so that it will be an experience that matters to you. And if you succeed, I am sure that you will feel more satisfied than anyone.

I think it's still too early, but it all depends on what we do to make a decision, if we want to get a quick profit, do short-term trading to gain a slight advantage by exploiting the current market situation. but it would be nice if we could be patient to hold it until the right time, so that we can get greater profits in the future when market price movements experience a very sharp increase

You can short bitcoin, why not? but the problem is that you should know when to short and make profit, otherwise it will just be futile so it's better to hodl. We have been making gains in the last 2 months or so I advise everyone to just sit back and relax and just watch the market grows in the next month. Again, if you don't know how to day trade, don't short bitcoin, high risk move.

Making profit is hard when you do short trading, but it's an assurance of you need to do some longer-termed trade when you learned how to control it. Having more patience is our formula in order to achieve the goals we had. Expecting more gaining power as quick profit expectations, isn't good enough because some instances might put you unto failure in the long run.

Users have difference of opinion when it comes to trading, because each look upon the trade in a varied perspective. No trader is successful without losing, and from my experience gaining quick profits is the best choice than holding for a longer time period without knowing the time target to keep hold of the assets. While going for quick profits is highly risk involved as the market changes in no time getting good profit as well loss.

We do understand that our market isn't that having quick response as it will affect of gaining situations. As I've practice since before that, when a saw some profits with my investment or to say the a value of my coins rise up, I sell it immediately. Cause in some cases and for the market volatility, prices may dump in any minute and that's I've worried for and it may loss my opportunity to make money. We need to be wise and strategies our investment in order to gain more profits.

I will, of course, keep some of my coins for holding and also at the same time gain quick profits in some of the coins I trade. It is very hard to guess if the market will have a very long bear market. So while if you can have profits in this bear market, go for it and get some profits. You cannot foretell when is the bear market become bullish again.

if you have a lot of patience, why not? it is the main requirement to hold back, as long as you have it in yourself, of course holding back will continue to benefit you, another aspect that you must have is knowing when to sell, that is an important thing in successfully in holding

Quick profits are short profits. This is general perception and almost everyone knows that. I think that since you are assumed to be rational in the market, you should know to calculate your profits in the long term and compare them with the short term profits and incorporate the time span you spend in making he short profits.

If the long term profits are high, go for it and I is very evident that the long term profits are always high.

Well, I do both. I HODL few altcoins and I also follow the market trend to make quick and easy profits. What I learned from the market is must of the time there's a trend coin/token - that pumped coin, where to get quick bucks for investing short-term for like a week or so.

To truly be a holder I would suggest not looking at price charts more than once a month.  Or maybe even once a year if you are a hardcore hodler.

Have learnt my lesson since i involved into some looses last year when i had to loose 120$. If an investors buy some coins from IEOs is expected that such investor should be sensitive to the market speculation to avoid looses. Recently i bought some coins during Binance IEO and sold out immediately when the IEO ended, this act of mine generated me a profit of 300$ but currently, these coins are down to 99$ all together. Holding can be rewarding as also, sell for quick profits.

If you are a trader then you should look for gain profits in short term but you hae to make it too often,so you need to decide whather you want to be a trader or just a holder.

well, unfortunately I'm not a trader, moreover I'm also a little bad at that. so, I just held back to wait for the opportunity to get a large amount of profit. well, but this is not a reference, everyone has their own way of doing this, and I am the type who likes to hold back

Yeah it's better to do it according to your analysis results and circumstances. I will holding it if its possible,
as prices will rise in the foreseeable future maybe I will try to hold it and be patient for longer. it depends on your vision dude

All depends on the market situation, the most important thing is that you have to compare what percentage of your coins go up from the previous price and how many coins you have.
and if you think it is profitable, there is no problem if you want to sell it to get a quick profit and vice versa if you want to get big profits to wait for a very high price and have to hold it back to wait for prices that you think are satisfying.
being a trader must be profitable and big or small what we get depends on the patience and strength we have and most importantly you don't get a loss.

This depend on the type of trader you have and it is good that you should study to know if long term investment or trading is good for you.  It is very difficult to makes profits from the market if you are a fearful one and you invest for long-term.

Actually you can be profitable on both.

IMO, gaining quick profit is good if you have a decent capital, while holding is more suitable if a person aims high profit with low capital.
If you will ask me which one I would prefer, I like holding long term as it's not too demanding of your time, just hold and trust, that's the simple strategy, and just hope the coin will pump and will reach your target, then you take profit on it.

It is good to know that you have choose more safer way than risking your money in trading.

But keep in mind that when to cash out even when you are a holder or don't care about the price swings for years.

It’s totally depends what kind of risk you are willing to take. If you are a short term trader then small profits is suitable for you and if you are a long term trader then you can wait for more growth.   

When we see that the price of a coin grows, we all face a  desire to buy it. But this is a trap. Coin can not constantly grow. First, the price of it rises due to some starter (news, events, sudden purchase of someone). Then people start to be interested in such growth and buy a coin until someone more reasonable starts selling their coins. We can follow a similar movement on any time frame.
From all of the above, you need to conclude that when the price rises long and unreasonably, you should think about how logical it is and you can start selling your coins in order to buy them later for less or to get rid of them altogether.

It is desirable to use both of these options, as now there are such cryptocurrencies that can give 15-20% of profit in a day and again decrease by 10%, which allows you to get a good income and for the holding you need to carefully select digital assets with a strong community and a reliable team

High volatile coins can give you that, but it's also considered as high risk.
If one is really good in trading, he knows the timing and can make quick profits, but in my case, I would love to play the market during bullish times
as this gives better opportunity for profit than a loss in trading.

Get profit quickly, even though we only reap a few percent profits in my opinion's a good idea rather than having to linger by holding it. Meanwhile, how to run it depends on our expertise, either by becoming a trader or by investing our money in the short term. I think the method's so effective, because anyone can get a pretty good result and most importantly, first understand how the performance of cryptocurrency because the risk of loss will continue to overshadow our entire plan which is related to cryptocurrency.

How long we should be waiting and to see the market will hit our desired amount to sell? That's the big question in our mind? I may think that, it is not a good idea to be a long term holder if we didn't know or even sure that the market will flew that high. Prices may looks unpredictable and we couldn't expect that it will grow more than of what we've got from 2017.

Why don't you combine the two forms of long-term keeping and trading in the short term to ensure profitability? Therefore the market has a wave, we should trade and buy cheap Altcoins and keep them.

It all depends on your goal. If you decide to hold a coin, then proceed according to your plan. If you are just a trader who is always ready to trade, then analyze the charts and if there is an opportunity to trade the coin, then use it.
No one will tell you for sure what will happen in the future, so rely only on your analysis of the situation. Don't forget that there is no incessant growth. Sooner or later the price will still be adjusted.

Agree! It's like what I think, rather than dizzy thinking about which is better. should just combine, get profits quickly (short terms trading) and get profits by hold, it just like trade use long terms method. I prefer the quick way (short term trade) rather than having to wait too long (hodl).

If you are a trader then gaining quick profits is better but if you are not good in trading then holding is a better choice for you.

For me, I can do both. I do trading while holding some coins for the long run. There are many investors out there who are also traders so they can gain quick profits.

The market started to rise starting from Feb until now but it only reached around 5k and then go down again. I'm waiting for the price of Bitcoin to go down to 4k so that I can accumulate more :).

Sometimes it is impossible for us which way we are going to make a profit because some coin we have to hold for short term and some coins we can hold for the long term. We have to follow their developments in order to hold or sell them when the price increase.

i personally think TRADING is the best way to have profit and safer than other ways, many people say holding is safer than trading but that is only when the market stable, if the market falls holding is not a good choice when we look at our money falls everyday, or investing in new cryptos is more risky when we can easily before it is listed on the exchanges. So i believe trading on exchanges will be a good choice when we can control the losses and how much we can have profit, or easier to get out if the market falls suddenly.

It is important to set a goal in which term you are capable to do by gaining quick profit or keep holding. Exactly, we have to follow the project for us to be aware the flow in the market. Sometimes by gaining quick profit and the price continues we feel regret. Their is really a making decision when you invest in crypto and accept the fact that their is always a risks.

For me if i gain profit i just sell it and not hold because its safe for those slowly but surely profit. Than hold the price keep dropping out but it depend also for altcoins your gonna choice.

I would say you depend your strategy in the current market, for example you know the target it might be hit because bitcoin is slow moving and alts are pumping so you can hodl for the mean time while, if the bitcoin market was is volatile you can sell right after the bounce plays to be safe. Remember profit is profit and other fall in greediness until to th epoint that they have no longer protect their capital in loss.

In this bear market situation, its to difficult to gain quick profit while you are in the actual trade market. Even the expert one are having headache while they're doing the actual trade in the platform, how much more the newbies who came in the platform. So the better way thing to do is to hold while bear in happening.

when you have the opportunity to increase the income that you have in a good way, and a small risk, I think that is something to consider, or something that needs to be done. until now, I have not found the right way to increase the income that I have, and hold the coins that I have. but, when I have the opportunity I will certainly do it.

This also depends on the kind of coins you have in your wallet. If you have Bitcoin or ETH, hodl for long and only then there could be incredible addition in the current worth of your coins. Short term trading is good to give you money but that is not big money. And this is worth holding Bitcoins now keeping in mind the market vibes which are great to gain huge value.

When you want to trade, i think start with small amount for training is good. After you can analyze better, try to improve your earning from bounty maybe because bounty reward actually can be good to start trading as capital because it not use our own money.

In my own personal opinion, since the bear market have stop and the bull market is starting to increase once again it is really the best to gain our profit for us to get back all of our losses in the year of 2018, but we still need to keep holding all of our coins who has bad prices for us not to have any regrets. I also think doing some trading again can help  me to gain my profit, that is why i am looking for the best and trusted trading platform until i found about Darb (https://darbfinance.com/?=crowd) finance where it is an exchange of fiat and crptocurrencies and at the same time a wallet that you can safely store your funds. Lastly, you should be aware that the market is unpredictable that we cannot say when will the market will go up or down, that is why we should always be careful.

I think that’s a question you’re mean tot answer yourself man, you don’t need anyone to answer such a question for you. Whenever I invest I always know what is enough for me, and once I have reached that I always withdraw to usd and still leave some money in my account in case I want to continue the trading.

If you don’t know what to do, maybe because the price is still going up a bit, you can decide to withdraw half of it and leave the rest to grow. If it happens that there is no more profit coming and price starts to drop, you can then withdraw it.

It also depends on how much profits do you want. If you want small and quick profits, it is clear that you would need to hodl for a short instant when the market is volatile. There could be surge in the price of the coin you hodl and hence profits. Long term and big profits require you to hodl some great profits. This is important because we have lessons of how people managed to make big money in the history of crypto market.

Yeah it is good to move with care in the market so if the price is rising it is good to sell but if you see the price is not very high it is good to keep holding as I have never seen anyone regrets holding, the more you hold the more you feel safe about falling market but when you realize your investment has become more than double or triple you can sell.

Quick profits are a trap for traders and investors. It is possible to lose faith in the markets and there are other alternative options to change the situation. Progressive management can change the will of the project with new tools.

I believe that it is best to act according to the situation. It is necessary to determine the best time to buy coins and then watch how it will behave.

That is the way we have to think about the market situation, the market situation cannot be the same every time so based on the investment we have to move whether to sell or whether to hold. Most of the people will lose patience when the market situation is very bad and start selling their token for loos. We shouldn't do this even though it went low value.

Keep holding is the most bad strategy for this time after holding them in a couple of months the price of altcoins get dump if the price of it get highing so its hard to predict what will gonna happened. If yoy are gonna hold altcoins for long term.

I always say do both, make some quick profit, always have something on a side, it`s not like you need to run 10 km more or you need to unload some huge truck, it`s click here and there and you have two strong positions. It`s always better to have more strong positions, and when you are risking you do it from one position, not all of them. Learn and upgrade your skills and positions, as time passing you will know how to play in long run but still have fun in short.

Taking advantage of the opportunity and depending on the timing of the market, there are good strategies that I think will bring good profits for investors. We should keep when the market is bad and should sell when the market becomes good. It is the best method which I often use.

This is a subjective approach and different people would have different opinions. In case you have Bitcoin, you should HODL on for some time to make sure you have some good profit margin to cash out. The reason I prefer to HODL right now is purely because of the volatile market and the profits that could be made. IN case you have some coins which are too slow to gain weight, better switch to Bitcoin.

Market condition is important to decide whether we need to hold in long term or just aim for the quick profits,when the market is bullish then it needs to be long term holding or just aim for the quick profits and then wait for the next opportunity.

I suggest to take every advantage as much as possible from day trade or to swing trades rather than let your money or bitcoin sitting on your wallet and doing nothing. But we all know about the quick dips or pumps and dumps it's also risky and even we are doing a day trading there's also a chance that our investment or our funds will be at risk.

If you're afraid of risk and choose for a safe investment I suggest to keep holding and just wait for the price to increase, but there's no exact time when it will happen.

My advice is to sell quickly, because the fear is that the next day will decrease. Getting a little profit is better than waiting for market prices to rise again.

Honestly though, this is only advisable if you are like doing day trading.
Meaning, you have a capital that will make you satisfied with a little percent of increase.
We have different range for sure, some can be happy with little fluctuation but I'm sure most traders would go for long term trade, they are the holders.
No one is stopping us to sell, as long as we are in profit, we are doing the right thing, regardless of the amount we are making.

If you are comfortable in just waiting for the value to increase more, you don't need to change things up swing trades or day trading is difficult to master, it will take a lots of time in order to understand all the factors that affects your trading activities, you have to plan well and make a good assumptions before you take your step inside this industry, always play smart and protect your investment,.

Quick profits are not easy and there are no short ways to make fine profit. A trader needs to work hard in the crypto business as well because crypto market is a world full of alterations, innovations and celebrations at the end. It happens for a trader with market research and lots of knowledge that can enable him/her to deal with any market situation will finally enable to work out. Holding is a best choice to stay connected with market for a long time for a huge profit.

Trading is fully Upon what you desire and no one can give you advice because it's your skills which are needed here, btw I am going for quick profits too but I am not trading a lot as I don't want the virtual world to take a huge part of my life. You can try the altcoins which usually has the value around 100-500 sat coz they can be easily profited and are also like fail-safe coins where you can easily redeem your coins out whenever you see the market dropping or you think you had too much loss.

Gaining quick profits with day trading is for the people that has enough time to monitor their daily traders.

---

While keep holding, this is good for almost everybody. Busy people that has other things to monitor and doesn't have time to check their trades. Just like us, bitcoin holders, we are okay by holding it for a long time while doing other things like day trading as well.

Yeah agree, I think that can determine which is the best is yourself. You know what is in you, do you have the skills to do trading, do you have the ability to accept risk and pressure, or are you not ready for it all and only brave by holding it. all depends on yourself dude

it all depends on the person capability and market situation,even though you want to trade but the market is not that good to have a good trade then that is the hindrance, as long as there is a chance to trade and earn daily then do it and hold what you can, you can hold while trading.

Holding is not a good option for now until the market is in bad situation because its better to make some other way to gain profit in trading than holding your coin for long-term with losses.

It all depends on the situation on the market and if I think it's profitable for me, maybe I will sell it and at least I sell above the price before I have it.
but for now I will try to hold it back because I see bitcoin continues to rise slowly and in my opinion will continue to increase and most importantly I must be patient and remain optimistic and it's time for bitcoin to rise from the decline so far.

Yeah that is pretty right. It depends on a person’s financial status as well as one’s love and affection with cryptocurrency. The coins that have been in the market and have gained good fame have been considered as means of making riches in cryptocurrency market. This is one reason people prefer to HODL such coins like Bitcoin and ETH. If you do the cost and benefit analysis, short term profits are not worth what you could make in the long term HODL.

i like holding with good coins otherwise quick profit is also not bad if you are not sure about project. :D

In other words, we must always be ready for both because we must be able to follow market conditions. When the coins that we hold lack the potential for a good increase in the long run, we can take the second option, namely short term.

Yes, there is no certain decision here. Today, the market shows both bearish and bullish signs. You can keep holding if you are sure that bulls will win. However, day trading makes sence also

This has a lot to do with the issue that if you are a speculator or you want to be an investor?
From my point of view, I dedicate myself to be a market speculator, therefore I always try to take advantage of the market, studying it every day and taking positions and see what turns out to be better, but I must follow the direction of the market, I can not go against, otherwise it would lose.

If you have enough money, what can help a lot is that you allocate a portion of Investment to Bitcoin or to an Altcoin that you see has a good future, and you can get fast profits according to how you make decisions in the trading market, if you see that you can do it, because many times as I see the market, I do not go in all the time, since I find it better to be out of it sometimes.

This has a lot to do with the criteria to be taken into account, if you have the possibility to follow and make trading based on fundamental analysis, it would be very useful, because from the market point of view, we are in an accumulation phase market where volatility can be very determinant

I think you can make a decision for a part for investment and another part for you to work as a trader, that way you will never be out of the market and you will be doing both at the same time.

but if we trade daily we must always be clever in looking for opportunities and know when we can sell our coins appropriately for profit because now is the lowest price of bitcoin and that is our challenge to always be ready every time.

Exactly, if you are not sure about a project then it is you who have the authority to decide whether it is good to go for it or not. HODL is a factor that is most likely chooses by those who want to stay connected with the crypto market for long future. One of the best HODL benefits is the majority of getting profit at the end if holding power because it is clear that if you are holding it you must be selling it for profit.

I think that everyone has the same problem and just has to come up with a decision...
If you gain a few quick profits and buy back at a lower price, you'll be increasing the ammount of your coin but also risk loosing your position, as you can't know if it will ever come back below your sale level...
the trick maybe in doing a few quick profits, but always leaving a stash of the coin for holding.... this way you reduce the risk and at the same time increase your coin.
actually taking profits would be loosing money in a few months  ;)

Looks like you are being sarcastic. How come one makes good profits if there is no surety about the project under question? I will never go for one and would only do so after some good assessment of the team and by looking at the demand of the coin/token in the market. I rather prefer a long term speculation over a short term quick profit thing that enable you enjoy just for the time being.

It depends on your profit appetite. everyone is bullish now. but one more fall is inevitable. You can take quick profits now if you would want to renter after a retracement. however, if you are in it for the long term, I'd suggest you simply not take profits and wait. the profits that are on their way is way bigger than any little profits you can take now. however, that's my own opinion though, the action is at your own discretion. do what you feel is right for you and your risk appetite

Well for me,"HOLDERS".Why i say so? Of course, we all know that that bitcoin is the future currency. Holding Bitcoin is like holding a dollar in your bank. As days go by, the price going high. Buying low is the effecient way to have a good asset. In my opinion, these people who are trading on a daily basis doesn't really how this currency works. For me holding Bitcoin is my little way to invest for my self in the future with the help of any reputed Cryptocurrency Exchange Software (https://theninehertz.com/cryptocurrency-exchange-development/). I don't about others.

On this type of market trend all people will surely recommend you to do short trades because altcoins do pump fast and dump fast too which is very good for scalping specially if you are rolling with huge bank roll you can easily gain big profits

Why should I hodl when I know I can make profit from my money?
It's not about which is best for whole human in this world. But it depends on personal to take decision based on their understanding, their knowledge, their ability to manage their assets. If you know a lot how to make money form your current money, then I'm sure you will do invest in something profitable. But If you have less knowledge about how to make profit, then of course you will just hold and wait.

In my humble opinion, HODLing is bad because you will be just waiting your assets to increase in value while you can't add more assets. What if a bad things happen and you can't recover it? You will be just crying on the backyard hoping everything will be back or wish the time to roll back. That's why trading is the best option, you don't only need to wait your assets to the moon but of course taking an opportunity to earn profits and add more assets. You can also spend some of your profit and enjoy it.

Since it depends on personal ability, you can choose what is the best. If you didn't learn much how to make money then HODLing is the best for you, just wait and don't lose your assets. But, if you know how to take an opportunity to make money then do trade as it's the best decision to increase your total assets. It's not that easy, you may need to cut-loss but by time I'm sure you will be able to recover it and make more profit than before.

Overall, I suggest everyone to learn how to trade, and start making money from it since crypto exchange is still weak and it's highly possible to earn profit as much.

You must did not invest in good coin because those good coins I have been holding since long but till now it only made value and gained profit, so it is all about eh coin we invest our money, there is no rule in crypto currency to get quick or fast profit for better success we will have to keep patience and wait.

I'm sure the market is better no than when this thread started. Everyone including traders and investors all want to gain profits from their investment. For those who have invested it bought bitcoin when it was at a low rate will be happy now having made a good bargain.

I don't advise holding unless you have full details and information about the token. It will be crazy to loose your investment in this uncertain times

It not only depends on financial status, the experience and knowledge of market matters more than that.
A person with even low capital can earn handsome profit through short term trades if he/she has good knowledge of market.
Short term trades are risky but as far I observed, it is more profitable than long term.

Gaining profit is better than only hold bitcoin. The trend of bitcoin market is positive now so trading bitcoin will be profitable. Usually I avoid trading when the market is negative because its hard to make profit at that time. But when the market trend is positive it is easy to make profit from trading.

I usually trade when the market is pumping up, because we can easily gain profits according to our determination. But if we are eager to earn massive money, holding is the appropriable way to gain enormous profits in return of wide patience we have to spend on. And I think it is about individual deliberations on how to  earn profits in an accommodate way.

There are so many people out there who have been traumatized by the dubious and fake projects that during the time of investment promise big rise and gains in future. I think it is high time to limit your investment only to the projects that would truly grow in future. The scams and fake projects will not get any funds and would perish super quickly.

If talking about the strategy depends on your analysis of the market, for me quick sell maximizes profits, here every increase will definitely have a correction so before there is a correction I choose to sell with a profit from what I target or get. It's just that for this time the correction isn't here yet and I don't think there's a correction this week and maybe the increast continues, if you decide to hold it is the best choice and a quick sell is also good.

Yeah it is good to trade when the price is good and you consider yourself safe as a trader,  if you see market is moving downwards of market is bullish then we cannot think about trading but it will be good to wait with patience as in case of trading our patience is the real key of success specially when the market is down, otherwise rise and fall is only because of crypto currency volatility and we should only use it properly to gain the profit form lose.

I agree, your strategies will always depend on your market analysis because it will guide you to do a trade that will benefit you in the future that's why it's always better to study first the market before entering on it. For this time, it's better to choose to keep on holding as we know that cryptocurrency are in low prices on which surely it would give us a huge profit in the near future because of the potential adoption of it in our community.

When the market rises, everyone investments can earn good profits if we trust Bitcoin. Each of our considerations will greatly affect the future and that has helped me earn a large sum of money in 2019 and I will definitely continue to keep Bitcoin until later this year because I believe that Bitcoin value will soon reach $ 16,000 end of the year. It may be beyond my expectations but anything can happen in this risk market.

Go for 50/50 so you won't have too much regret in case you miss the chance to sell or to gain more in value. Like in this situation, I see many traders already sold some of their btc when it reach $5k above but it goes up again. Maybe your greed will hit you with this scenario but what if it goes down right? Always take your profits no matter what because most of my losses came from too much greed.

For me, Cryptocurrency is a long-term investment. For example, when Bitcoin is first released and traded, the value is only $ 0.1 / 1 BTC. From 2009 to 2013 the Bitcoin exchange rate reached 12,000 times the increase, up to the price of $ 1,200 / 1 BTC. Then in the third quarter of 2017, the price of Bitcoin reached the highest level of all time, namely $ 6.194 / 1 BTC. If we look at the total increase from 2009 to 2017 (within 8 years), the price of Bitcoin has gone up by 61,940 times / 6,194,000%, a truly fantastic growth for a currency.

It is right that crypto currency investment is really takes time to recover and when once it recovers it makes profit for you, I think we should wait with patience to let the price be higher and when it rises we should sell, it is historical review we can notice since very beginning price has been increasing and it makes progress so wait and hold don’t sell for quick profit only.

The market is picking up in my own strategy I will say enter and exit at the appropriate time, holding at this point is really not my own way of trading.

Follow your own strategy, don't follow people as that might cause a big problem to us.
Bull market gives us an opportunity to sell especially if we bought at dip so take profit if necessary.
We have to be smart, we should only be greedy during the bull so it will make us buy more that we can dispose in the bull run, and this is the time.
Know your target so you will not have any problem selling at the right timing.

"hold" is the best choice, btc is very promising for the long term, but returns to your situation, if possible you can do both, if the expert in trading you can trade it in part to get daily profit. if you can't just stand the bitcoin reaches the highest price then you will get a huge profit, I think we are all sure of that

when the market is bullish it is good to gain some quick profits with those profits we can diversify for other coins we can see the best examples in 2017 and 2018 market conditions we should act before market gets dump

If you have time to follow the courses daily and trade with a small income
if there is no time, then you need to find a worthwhile coin to buy it and wait for growth

True! If you aren't sure about what to do then do both, if incase it'll crash then yo still have btc left to bounce back again. It is like testing the waters, meaning just to also test the market if it goes higher then good but if it goes down still good because you still have left as reserve, it is still a win-win situation.

What's been suggested is a secure way of trading. Crypto trading is high risk associated process as the price dumping and pumping takes place in a very short time period. Users who prefer to have a secure profiting can keep hold of it without getting into trading practice of buying at a lower price and selling at an increased price. Quick profiting is possible with experts and with lucky traders.

To do long-term HODL not everyone can afford it because they will be pressured by fear that prices will go down and profits that are in front of their eyes will disappear. Only people who have strong mentality can withstand price worries that suddenly drop.
In my opinion, it is better for half HODL and the other half to be traded every day to be able to enjoy short-term benefits and trade enjoyed as a profession.

As a person who have daily financial needs, I am taking quick profit on some of my investment and hodling some for long term profit. You can do both and it is always be backed by hard work and patience.

If you know to yourself that you're not in a stage of an expert traders, I think it is very suitable for you to keep on holding. At least in this way you can minimize your risk unlike in quick profit there is a high chances for you to loss your holding coins for sure in the end, where it can lead you into wreck. You better think of this not once but twice or more.

therefore this work will be good to be used as additional income while holding it for the long term then it will be a very good advantage for your life in the future, that is, when you have a full time job then investment in this industry will be an option which is very good

Just holding coins will bring you profit, but it will not be the maximum profit. For example, you can sell your coins before correction, as many traders do, take profits, wait for the market to calm down, and invest again. This option of working with assets I like much more than just hold.

Lets put it this way, I'll buy 1 parcel of land today and sell it after a year and I get a 5% profit easily, If I do it every year in 10 years I get 5% profit every year unlike I buy 1 parcel of land and sell it after 10 years, I might not get the same profit that I will have if I sell every year. Its the same goes with holders and those gaining quick profits. 2% per day is 60% in 1 month, I might not get that much profits if I hold on to my coin in a month.

It's important to study everything in trading technical analyst,margins and so on. because market is volatile the desicion is on our part how we manage our assets/funds even the market is volatile,bearish or bullish.

For me it does not need a technical analysis in you are going to take profit or keep holding. All we need here is guts. If you are greedy then for sure you will hold until when the time comes that you are already a bitcoin millionaire in the future.

That depends on your capacity, if you are good in day trading then you sure can maximize your profit, but if not, you better be patient and hold.
You can also earn a decent return if your holdings will increase many folds, like x10 or x50 which is possible before, so it could still happen again but it's always done with patience.

If you are not sure, i think you should hold your coins. It is a safe choice because the market always recover after dropping. I often sell only i gained at least 10% profit.

It all depends on you and if you sell it For reasons because you have already made a profit, I don't think that is a problem.
but if you want to get the maximum profit, you have to make a long-term investment and it will make you feel calm without worrying or fearing the market situation that is difficult to guess even if it takes a long time.

Will have to decide what would be the best.
Yes, we don't need to hold any longer if we already gain profits and to the extent that it gives us satisfaction. Have the situation may help to decide, not actually holding will seems to be profitable and it happens to me. Seeking for more profits isn't bad but we have to understand also the current trend and we can't expect that we can make it pretty easy.

Instead of selling them for quick profits it is good to hold them for the long term which might give you higher returns. For higher returns it will take time, so always think before you invest because less profit will not help you to buy potential coins.

I think if you doubt the price of bitcoin now then you can sell it, but dont expect a big amount of profit. Bitcoin price is really not so easy to predict, especially now. But if you dont contented just buy some another and wait maybe the price is continue to rise.

I know it is hard to know when the price will be high so we should make our decision according to the market we should hold because I know now we will see more increase in price better keep holding, so wait with patience and see when market will be normal you can trade, in crypto currency never think about getting quick profit.

Quick profits can be achieved when you trade daily, but if you wanted to earn sustainable profit which isn't fast but with potential sustainable amount; always have that options of holding longer.

It's better to keep studying how the market behaves there's a lot of chances that you can missed the train, but if you are willing to take a long journey and you are targeting larger value, holding your coins and keep it in a safe wallet then set your target amount then move on till the actual amount will be hit and enjoy your profits.

And it depends on market conditions too, we cannot always assume the market is in good condition. In fact, most of the market conditions in the past year were bad compared to the market. Maybe if trading in market conditions would maximize profits but vice versa, it would give a loss.

both strategies can be done, but for now I prefer to get profits quickly. because right now if we only hold we will only watch other people who get profit, while we only hold without any income
holding is better done when the profit is unstable and the price is low, it will be safer than the risk of loss

It really depends to an individual whether he already want to grab some profit or keep holding for bigger profit. If you are good in trading then take profit when there's an opportunity then buy back when its cheap. But if you don't have time to study trading, just be an investor like me and wait until next year or few more years to sell your bitcoin at a great price.

Either the two of it is profitable. However, we should not also let the trend bait us. Because of the greediness that circulates to our body, we are looking for higher gains in trading. I am a greedy trader also but I am controlling it since I had lost already a huge amount of money. It is not good to keep holding also cause it may ruin your dreams at your profits once it decline.

This has been answered now I guess,because you are correct that market is in up trend and community are rejoicing from after more than a year at least the bull finally showed up again and seemingly going to stay for long,sitting at almost 12,000$ as I am typing this post which you can find here
https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/oex/
So holding still till we reached $15k in market

The best strategy is to gain quick profits and then keep hodling them.
Till now, I am not happy with my hodling strategy. I think that if I was into a quick gains strategy I would have earned many more that I hodl today.

I think  keep holdings is the best to apply while your in stage of learning. Never push yourself in a hurry to get profit because most of the time the more you desire to gain faster, you don't know that you are pushing yourself quickly to loss your capital or investment. At least if you hold in a long terms you can minimize the risk on which is possible for you to face in.
