Is it better to keep good project coins for holding?
                                or
Trade in spot/ futures market in less leverage.

The predicament will instruct you which is better for you. Do it when you need trading. And to hold when the situation of holding. It's time and the marketplace will tell you when to demand and what to do.

If you have what it takes to be part of the 5% that is winning in trading then trading is probably a good option for you.

Trading is all about patience and continous learning, if you can't do that, then go hold.

Trading needs time, not everyone has the time to check the market prices every day, to do TA, FA, etc. Another thing is not everyone has the skills to do it, nor has patience, and may easily fall into a panic selling or to listen to the pseudo-experts we can see here and there.
If anyone's new to the crypto world they should go to the HODL strategy. Then if they want to speculate and gamble money, then go.

Personally I don't want to bother with active or day trading, I do trades but for medium terms like 3 months or more. Unless I come at the right time when something important hits the news.

As long they find on both of them.

Then, choosing on the list was no a problem at all. Everyone has their own strategy and method investment, Person A could be said holding is the good option but Person B could be trading a good investment too. As long they know what are they are doing, not really looking which method was the best or not.

For me, trading is much better if you have the skill and willingness to learn and become good at it.

Most of the investors are scared to risk their money into trading as they say that market is unpredictable. Hello?! That's the reason why there is what we called "technical analysis" that will help you on when to have transactions. It takes a lot of experience and practice in order to make your trading become more profitable for you.

Holding is a choice if you really don't want to risk your money or if you don't want to engage in the market, then that's the option for you, to hold.

Basically Holding depends on projects roadmap and team activities. I made hold so good coins but later team sprite was very poor so that i lost my money at the end. So there my trading decision would better then hold. So i will say here trading or hold fully depends on some criteria like market condition, project volume, team sprite and finally roadmap work. A man has to take decision researching this criteria that he will trade or hold a coin.

thanks

If that is the option, I suggest holding the coins than to trade. But if you know about trading, it is better to trade that coin to make a profit. That will depend on the market itself. If the coin price has a good move at the market, you can expect to make a profit, but if the price does not move, then hold will be a good choice. That will need more research to find if that project is good or not. But if you have bitcoin, maybe you can hold it than to trade if you are worried about losing the money.

Trading without these three, TA, FA, and SA, will become not profitable and useless for you because these will help you to trade effectively.

I'm not really a fan of trading before and I just want to hold my assets. But as time passes by, I'm not contented with that mindset, I want to make my assets move in the market to have some improvements and deal with the risks. Trading is really not for those people who are timid in manipulating their assets and make it grow. As I started trading, I'm becoming wiser and adaptive depending on the situation that I'm in, plus, trading will make your mindset healthier when it comes to investments. It really needs a lot of patience and practice in doing analysis techniques, don't hesitate to learn and engage with trading if you are willing to do it.

The answer will depends form how you truly understand the project and how's your trading skills. You will see different opinions regarding to this question people do have their own ways of taking advantage of situation.,

For traders who knows how to work with every market movements anticipating the flows gives them higher chance to earn from trading on the spot.


While hodlers who knows that there are more to expect from the developers will keep on holding knowing that they will be able to maximize the profits once the heavy pumped start.

Weather you go for holding or trading is something dependent on the coin you have. As I've seen it for small market cap coins the market right now is volatile but it allows a trader to still make profit if buying/selling at the right times. Equally, this is less possible for the large market cap coins so in this regard you'd want to hold. At least this is what I'd consider doing  :P

Everything depends on your skills, the successful investor will obviously claim that investing for the long term is the best, but what he is not telling you is that they have years of experience reading white papers and identifying trends in the market and this means they can buy good projects for cheap while the rest will only find out about them a few years later after they have given 100x profits.

But if you ask a successful trader they will tell you as well that trading is better, but they wont tell you the countless hours they have spend refining their strategy and all the time they dedicate to find the perfect set up for their strategy.

In conclusion, find out in which one of those options you will fell more comfortable and then dedicate all your free time to learn about it until you become an expert and you can make money with it.

I had seen this thread many time. Whether to hold or trade !? Holding is essential one in trading is my opinion. Because panic selling won't get you a bulk some profit. When ever, you sell your long holding at cheap price. You are losing some dollars, which is your upcoming profit. You should keep your potential coin as your assets. It will help in your future.

Both of them looks incredibly dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. They require different set of skillset and I would say that the best way to make sure you are in the right one would be to test them both, see how you do, however make sure you don't just stop after a short period and decide one right away, you could have been lucky or unlucky for a short period of time and change after a while.

So, I would say 6 months of each of them would tell you exactly what you want to know. You are not going to get a correct answer from someone else, they could be great at one of them and horrible at the other and tell you the thing they are great at is the answer, but it is the answer for them, not you. Hence why you should find the situation yourself instead of asking others.

Depends on which one do make profit for you because you cant tell if you wont try it in the first place.There are people whom do good neither they do trade up on high or less leverage or in spot or futures market.
You can test it out on which field you are good because it wont fit out the majority and expect that you cant get it on very few tries and will really take much time.This is why we do saw lots of people who do failed up
because of this very unpredictable behavior of this market but there are still people whom do able to ride with the flow and still profitable but in most cases people do just tend to hold instead on risking out on making active
trades or investing to other projects.There are lots of ways but be sure that you do know on what you are doing. Always DYOR and dont easily fall into someones suggestions or shill.

Ask yourself first what is your forte or what is your edge in the market? Remember that you can only be profitable while being consistent if you will use the strategy that is suitable for you. Actively buying and selling in futures is more complicated so be careful because it requires more skills than holding. When it comes to holding just make sure that you will hold a certain cryptocurrency that is trending where its current trend is in uptrend because for sure that the price will increase.

Don't become blind just because a certain exchange is offering huge leverage, remember that the higher the leverage; the higher the risks so we should have plan especially in risk management if you want to do leveraging. Just use the strategy where you have more knowledge in order for you to be comfortable and able to make sweet gains in the market.

For a newbie, holding such good coins is better than taking part in future/spot trading. But how can you determined whether the project is good and worth to spent money for holding? Most of the new investors are holding wrong coins, mistakenly thought that the coin is worth holding because of it's fame, it's top list but there are also other coins better for holding just by looking their platform and progress. Check this out (https://www.bitdegree.org/tutorials/best-cryptocurrency-to-invest/), it's a guide to choose a good coin to invest.

Future trading, if lack of knowledge would not be recommended unless you are confident enough that yu acquired enough tools and wisdom to enter that field.

If you got the right amount of coin, I mean you got many though not plenty, then do spot trading. Much better to make the most of it instead of waiting for the price to rise because you might wake up missing everything :D. Because for me the tokens nowadays are not the same as the old coins, they can't sustain a stable price for a very long time. Once the large majority of holders dump, you can expect that the coin is already near its down fall. So for me, take a risk and play on the exchange.

If you trust in the future of the project coins you're currently holding, then hodl to aim for max profit, plus it's less hassle since you wouldn't need to analyze markets daily. Though it's pretty risky since once someone starts dumping, everyone would probably follow. Normally, both ideas have their advantages, but if you want guaranteed profit, then trading would be better. Hodl is only guaranteed when your coin is actually good, though the only one I would recommend for that would be BTC. Trade, on the other hand, you could see the price changes daily, which in turn, can help you take advantage of the movement.

Still, trading requires a fair amount of skill, so trade on your own risk. Or just sell your coin immediately when you see a profit to make sure you at least have some profit.

Both are risky.
First, how you will know if the coin you holding is good? like their about their project, how you can define "good"? A lot of altcoins nowadays that are only good in the first few weeks/months, but after that, slowly dumping off, so be careful.
On trading part, you will need a skill here, you need time to learn to trade, learn technical skills, this is also risky. You can minimize the risk if you have good risk management and have good emotion.

I think people who do HOLD/HODL are those who are stuck on a coin whose price drops while the trader has bought at a high price. I am not a regular trader at the moment because I have other activities to do but if I had to choose I would prefer to hold potential coins but prefer to BTC, ETH and a few other altcoins which I see will rise in the next few months.

If you have Bitcoin, the best for now is Hodl! Because it has good growth throughout history, some risk a small percentage to market or trading speculation, which is quite risky, if you have experience in trading you can take the option, otherwise if you are learning you will not I recommend taking a chance, just play it safe Hodl.

Yeah it is true, one of the hardest task for a trader is to choose what coin is good or bad. So how are you going to do that? I will give you an example on how I pick a certain coin that I will use in trading. I first determine if I will do holding or I will just trade in a short period of time after I determine that, I will focus now in the exchange that I will use because there are times where the coin that I will trade is only available in some exchanges and for me it is the matter. And then I will check if thr volume is good for me to really determine if it is a shitcoin or it is one of the potential one that can give me rewards.

As long as he knows about trading, he can make a profit. But if he doesn't have that, then I don't think trading will be a good option. But I agree that we need to trade, especially if we believe that we can make a trade like others. If he finally decides to trade, I hope that he can choose the right coins because nowadays, many coins seem to offer a good profit in trading, but the reality that coin needs to wait for some time to increase the volume at the exchanges. Be careful with the risk, and make sure you are not going to use big money if you are not sure you can do.

You misunderstood what he just said, he is talking about market futures which means it is base on contracts where there is leverages that is offering and not the time period. Trading futures is a risky for me, anyway we have different risk appetite after all so I know that there will be some of you who think future is not risky as it is. I see it as risky especially when I do leveraging, the maximum leverage when I trade is only 20x and for me it is now big.

In terms of what is good between the trading or hodl, I prefer to trade than hodl because of the opportunities in the market. I also do holding like right now because the current market is now looking healthy.

If you have ample time to trade and have enough knowledge in trading, then it could be a good option but keep remember the high-risk on it. Holding could be the best option if you are afraid of risk and limited time because of having a stable job, or if we don't have skills in trading.

You could actually ask yourself what you want in your life. In fact, not all wanting to be a trader has succeeded but most of them had failed, the same thing it happens to hold. If you think yourself aware of this and prepared for the possible consequences, it will never be hard to decide. Because I also decide on my own as what I see into myself and the capabilities that I have.

every choice always has its own risk. You can hold with the consequence that you don't get a fast turnover because you are doing a safe strategy. if you trade, you can get a fast turnover of profit even very high, but you must be prepared for the risk if trading is dangerous if for beginners who do not have the skills

Yes, that's right. If a project is good, it's best to keep the coins and hodl for the future. Don't be hasty to sell off. Again, try not to venture into trading if you don't have the requisite skill. Otherwise you will definitely get burnt. Trading isn't child's play. Though it seems easy on the surface, trading goes with mastery set skills if one were to survive and make a living out of it.

Holding is definitely better, in the long run if you are holding you are going to profit, obviously I am talking about bitcoin here and not some small coin, that could go down and never come back, but bitcoin will always go high in the end, even if it goes low in between, for example I believe it will be over $20k once again eventually as well.

So, I would say hold, hold like your life is depending on it because in some cases it actually might, I had some bitcoin way before 2017 and during those peak times I had some hard times and my family went through something not so nice and I had to pay for it, now I could have taken out a debt and pay them that way and pay the debt back slowly, but you know what I did?

Sold at the peak (lucky for me, people thought it was going even higher) and never had to have a debt. So hold until you absolutely need to, it worths it.

trade or Hodl! both are good...
everyone has the potential to become a trader but not everyone has a strong mentality that is ready to lose. everyone has fixed potential Hodler but not everyone wants to keep Hodl their assets when they profit more than 50%. my advice, choose which one is comfortable according to you.

Of course.

Holding as well as trading is profitable so choose one of your kind to make profits, but in my opinion holding is still better because the risk involved in it is very less compared to trading so I will pick holding over it but I am also trading when the right time comes.

About futures or option or other kind of trading I won't take risk on it because its like betting which we don't have control over it.

Absolutely right! Whatever option you take there's corresponding effects to your investment, if you choose to continue holding your assets
you are choosing to target the highest peak that it can push.

While when you choose to trade and you also have good knowledge working with this business, you can still generates profits, but unlike with holding it the chance of losing the opportunities to maximize your earnings is high.

The pumped may happened right after you sold your assets and will go to the moon, that's how crypto works better to do deeper
assessments with every decision that you'll going to take.

Mostly it depends on how much you want to get from one coins which you will go to invest. If the situation of that coin is good then you can sell it to get some profit, if you are a beginner.
If you already experienced and the coins has good future and growth is also good, then you can hold for a long time.

So it can be said that it depends on which time period you prefer to use as a trader

If you are a newbie and have no trading experience and skills, you should keep coins for holding. If you are experienced and
having good technical analysis and fundamental analysis skills, I suggest trading with leverage can be profitable. Although the
risks that must be faced are much greater.

What coin are you referencing if I may ask because it seems bitcoin isn't the coin in picture here but if I may be wrong then just like most replies have highlighted, holding has been the best option when it comes to the long term. The profit aren't always coming regularly when you're a trader but with holding there are 99% chances of been profitable as far you can exercise patience to hold you investment until you're in a position you'll be comfortable selling.

90% of traders lose their capital in the market so it won't be advisable to adventure into it if you have very little or no experience. Trading will take alot of time off your hands but with holding, it comes with relaxations when you have research properly in what you're investing into.

Depends on you. If you want to make some quick profit and take bigger risks, then go ahead and trade. You need to understand how the market works though. You will need experience on trading. Expect to make losses on your first few trades. Slowly you will start making profit (nothing is guaranteed. You will be taking huge risks when trading. So you will be making losses too). But, if you don't understand anything about the market, then just invest on some well known good coins and hold it for long term.

If that project or coin able to meet your criteria (based on your own preferences), that it's worth taking a shot, then you can consider hodling your coins and just fill it up as much as you can. But if you know how to trade and that coin is already listed on an exchange, then play with it on the market. Hodling option should just be considered if you really have a positive view about the future of your coin.

But be cautious, even with great and wonderful developments of a certain project in the future, you can't be sure that the project will be a success. It really depends on how I look at a certain if it's worth to hodl or not. To truly give you a better response, may we know these good projects you are referring to?

Only BTC is by far, worth to hodl for long for me so continuous accumulation here is a must.

All would really be going after with BTC in long term aspects but there are several altcoins that are worth to include on, not to point out those top alts but it is a good diversifying act for us to take.

I agree that choosing between the two will always depend on where you do prefer and on which one do make out profits for you.They should stick on where they do make money and consider later on

on allocating some for future aspects.If you can trade actively then its an advantage thing compared if you do just simply hold up and wait for the price to increase.

Both trading and hold are favorable if you perceive how to operate. I prefer trading than hold. Because by trading, agility is developed and remuneration is also formulated. But holding according to the predicament is also a wise thing to do.

Both trading and just holding (hodling) are good ways to get involved more with crypto but it largely depends on which you prefer. With trading, you can get quickly get gains on your position in a short amount of time. While holding on the other hand gives room to accumulate even more profits in the long run. So, you first have to assess yourself and ask yourself a couple of questions like:

1. Would you be able to actively trade the market (no distractions / other commitments).
2. You have other commitments but would still like to get a piece of the cake.

Everyone's perspective is different, you just have to figure out which one works best for you and it should fit your trading plan too – availability etc.

---

PS: If you do decide to be a holder (hodler), You might as well stake them and earn a couple of percentage on monthly basis since most cryptocurrencies these days offer staking rewards.

The best option depends on the talent and skills that you have, imagine if you will do trading but you do not have enough skills on it then for sure you will incur huge losses. In trading the risk is huge but the rewards is also huge because you will actively engaging in the market. Both of holding and trading requires mastery, do not believe to other people that trading and holding is just easy because it is a lie. If it is easy, everybody should making gains but in reality it is not happen. Identifying your strength and weaknesses can help you to choose between the two.

...but, one question before, you have experience managing a list of shopping products... for at least your home. ... it's a joke!, But it will help you, I assure you, there are people who have never traded in anything and want to soak up the cryptoworld, that's the beauty of cryptocurrencies.

Try take a risk, document yourself, it is good to know how you make money, but it is good to know why you lose it, it is not just today I invested 10, earn 10.
Although many traders I know started like this, but they had a plan and that plan included theory and practice.

Re: which is a good option??  

• Trade: ✔
• Hodl : ✔

...or both inclusive

Good suggestion and explanation :)

I believe that at this time recovery is taking place. So, I decided to hold some assets on popular coins instead of trading for now. both are good things, as well as potential. it's just that, I choose to hold back so I can focus on doing other things. Well, we know that trading requires a lot of information in the short term before any price movement occurs

If you are going for options and futures there is that debate of whether it is more of a gamble than spot trading. I consider it to be a gamble and thus the risk is higher than spot trading. If that is fine with the trader then they are good to go. It all boils down to a personal choice of whether they like to wait out the market to get the proper price to buy or sell and make a profit from that or "bet" on the futures market.

While the market is stagnant some people tend to move between these two methods of making money.

People love taking the risk. Whether it be in the speculative markets or just plain gambling. Specially when the spot markets are not worthy of putting money in or beyond your reach to buy the asset itself.

Sometimes after a few months of trading, I think that if I didn't constantly trade, I would earn more just by holding the coin. But I can't just hold the coin and wait for a profit because of my character. I need to be sure to trade, because this, in addition to profit, brings me satisfaction.

Trading and holding of good crypto are both profitable options but the investor personal experience play an important role in making good profit cause before a crypto holder can make profitable invest he need to have knowledge of good coin selection, portfolio management and cut lost while trading require knowing how to used FA/TA. Nevertheless, there are some exchange sites that provides free trading bot lately but good setting knowledge is still needed.

Both of them are good especially if you can execute them properly but with regards to trading you need a skills, knowledge, patience and experience before you can earn a decent from it. If you
think you didn't have it yet then it will be good if you will just stay first in holding a currencies that you think has the potential to grow in the future.

Then you can start studying how the trading works and how you can execute a better strategy in order to profit from it and once you are ready then you can transfer to trading as it can give you a
better profit compare to holding once you can do it properly.

For a newbie my preference is hodling a good coin this can be done with some little research and without much hassle particularly when investing in bitcoin and other profitable cryptocurrencies although it also has it own risk especially when bought at the peak however trading spot/future requires wide range of knowledge which might not be easily acquired within a short period of time else a trader portfolio or account can be rekt easily that is why it is always advisable for any newbie to demo trade in spot/future i.e practice and make profits  consistently before funding their account.

I think it depends on the coin actually whether to hold it or trade it. Obviously all cryptocurrencies are speculative but there are certain coins which I believe return good profits if traded. Coins like XRP , Cardano , EOS and BNB can be traded to make a bigger profit while I think coins like bitcoin and ether are meant to be hold to make a huge profit. The price swings in such coins are higher which makes the return more profitable.

depending on how you take advantage of the moment, if the coins you are holding have progress in the near future so that the price is likely to go up then you can save them and sell them when the time is right.
conversely if you see opportunities in other coins you have to take risks and sell the tokens you have bought.
saving a coin without knowing the progress is tantamount to putting your money in danger because its value can drop over time.
that is why you must be observant in seeing opportunities.

I prefer to hold unique and interesting altcoins for a long time, but I don't keep much of it, to be honest I don't really like Futures trading, it must really have the ability to really focus on using analysis, the slightest error will be detrimental, especially beginners, of course it is not recommended for them to use this kind of trading, they need to learn a lot to understand where the market is going

If you have the luxury of spending time doing analysis, chart checking and monitoring then go for trading.
But if you don't then just leave it be.  ;D

I am a holder of different coin.
Not much of stress for that. If you have a good job then stay with it.
If you do trade, it will eat some of your time in which you should be resting already.

Bitcoin has always been a good coin for holding, and even if you’re just holding Bitcoin, it is enough. Then if you decide that you want to spread things out and hold other cryptocurrencies, you have Ethereum, XRP, and some good coins that are worth investing. It’s up to you and what you like. If you’re looking them up based on what they are meant, they all have different purpose, but they are all growing, because people are investing in them.

Most things we do in this market is all about risks, if you see a good project and you believe it will grow, you can get and invest. There are projects I have seen and didn’t invest in them, and later they grew to a high amount, and there are those that never did. Sometimes it’s good to check how things are moving in that projects community to decide if it will be good on the long run or not.

This topic will keep coming up,although,  I think we might need to remind ourselves our target. Regular trading doesnt fetch the 10x -100x more that we might want in this market. Hodling can give beyond 100x for good projects and we are begining to see recovery in almost all the part of the project. Now ethereum is getting outstanding and it is just about 35% of the ATH before we see new ATH. we cant get this if we move to fiat early while the price pumps.

Well, that is right. Because there are two types of people in status of life that can able to accumulate bitcoin, --minimal time to spend on the internet and the other one is a full-time trader. Hold if you dont have quality time to spend research and making technical analysis and trade when you have a lot of time doing any technical prediction. However, I will prefer to hold than to trade because holding is a safe way of making profit but it is indeed, needs patient while waiting the right time when your profit come.

No one can know exactly what price Ethereum will rise to. This is what makes traders take profits and then watch the price continue to rise. It is at such moments that traders lose the opportunity to increase their profits. But this is what allows them to earn when the price of the coin begins to fall rapidly.

Don’t use your achievements you got in demo trading to judge the real one. The real one can be something else and that means it requires all new-and-different approach. I have been in this kind of situation where I was using demo trading to practice and everything seemed to be quite easy until I decided to put in money and start the real trading, and then it turned out to be something else. Why I am saying this is so that you don’t start with too much money, go with a little amount of money because there will always be a risk as long as it’s trading we are talking about here.

For the all crypto people who are lagging in required skills for perfect trading, may choose hodl option to achieve what active traders do make profits from crypto trading. Because, holding is simple when it comes with bitcoins and crypto space. You cannot rely on holding for easy profit making anywhere else except this crypto space and in this crypto space, you may believe into only on bitcoins and not on most other altcoins.

I hope to see more coins that has something to offer. Not just using them for trading.
They should have a proper foundation, just like an bitcoin and ethereum. They are very useful on our society nowadays, we can create more things using these kind of technologies.
New coins must innovate wisely otherwise they will just be considered as shits on crypto world.

I personally would prefer to store coins for a certain period of time but before I choose a token or coin that I want to save, I have to know about it and the reason why I should keep it, for futures trading I don't like it and for me who is not very experienced it is very risky for me, this is in my personal opinion

It will highly depend on what coin you are planing to invest. If it is bitcoin, for me the best option is to trade it because as what's on the market, we are bitcoin's value is like a roller coaster.
So it is better wait for it to go down, ride on it, and then wait until it reached the top again.
Holding is still a good option, but I see buying and selling for now as the best thing to do.

I think trading and holding are equally good, depending on our individual tastes. Trading is much better for me,
because I like cryptocurrency prices which are very volatile. Can make a profit by taking advantage of volatile
prices. However, trading futures with leverage is not a good choice, because the risk is very large. I prefer
regular manual trading. Even though the profit is not that big, it is at least safer than trading with leverage.

Both did not guarantee any profit  unless will be able to monitor it, sometimes storing for long did work out as companies changes their goal and didn't able to survive in the market that long as well in trading if we will not be able to trade properly, monitor na chart there might be more lose that profit. Between Hold and Trading, this will depend on us. Now I prefer trading as some of my holdings before considered as shitcoin now.

If where your instinct pointing you and  if you feel dealing with any from both strategy. Looking for the reason on how to take
advantage of this business, holding or trading both can bring benefits if you know how things works. Best to analyze and make
sure to whatever option you pick you are willing to take the risk and you are ready to any outcomes.

It depends maybe HODL works for me but not for you, choose which you prefer  and make profit the most. If you are still confused which of the two why not just do both responsibly. For me, I prefer to HODL I got stress something in futures which really occupied my time checking now and then while if you HODL you can sit and relax and wait for your coins to grow in values, but make sure you are holding a reputable coin not just random coins.

Because I'm not a trader, definitely I'll just HOLD.
Trade or Hold, it will matter on which you think is suited for you. besides, we can have them both because a trader could also become a holder especially during the time of the bearish season and vice-versa, but also to think that many have such difficulties and they are much comfortable of being just a holder alone as the risk is quite low than a trader. And I have considered myself out of it.

We should have to think wisely.

I will advise you not to keep any project token especially if you are not ready to monitor the progress of the coin. This is because many projects go inactive and might even get delisted with time. It is better you trade them and hold strong coin such as bitcoin and Ethereum. However, in case you do not know how to trade, It is better you keep holding rather than trading because you might end up losing your coin due to market volatility

Trade and Hold both are the part of crypto people.If you can read chart perfectly and know the market and you know what you are doing then trade is the best option for you.If you can choose a good project and you are not that good in chart reading and you have a patience then you can hold .I am not that much of a trader.But i can choose a good project.And normally if any coin goes to dip then if this coin has potential then I hold them for a specific period.But you want to trade daily you should have a lot of time.Thats why I always prefer to hold coin such as Eth,Neo,Stellar etc.So if you buy dip much high reputed coin then you can hold them and you don't have to have any specific knowledge.So my vote goes to Hold.But always remember Holding is not for weak hands.

For me it is and will be hodling. I used to trade and took a lesson from it. Trading is a game where you win and lose and as a trader you'll see you're only 60% right. This means that if you know what you're doing you will be making money in the end but you will also be losing some of your earned profits by making mistakes.

When you hodl an appreciating asset like bitcoin you don't have to work for it it just happens by itself. 5 years later you have more money without lifting a finger.

The situation changes the answer of this as well. If you are holding right now with bitcoin high, I would say keep holding it is a better option, however remember that time when bitcoin was moving between $9k and $9.5k for a long time? That was a better time to trade because it wasn't doing much.

For example, right now is a great time to hold, however lets assume for another 2-3 weeks the price doesn't move much, it just changes from $11.3k levels to $11.9k levels and does go above or below that, that means it became good for trading and not holding. So, as you can see there is no single answer to that question, it could change from position to position and from situation to situation, that is why no one can give you a full 100% correct answer to what to do right now since right now constantly changes.

It will depend on which one i am skill at more. To make a profits every day i must choose trading but if i am not very good at trading then holding is best for me. Besides trading is a way to make a profit in a short time, but holding is definitely the best for a long time. Trading will require more experience as it is not an easy task but holding does not require much knowledge just to catch the best currency.

I totally agree that things could depend from person to person, I would totally say that something that works for me may not for work someone else as well.

I rather do long term investments along the way with smaller trades here and there, that is not a unique thing, I have a bitcoin and ethereum investment that unless something major happens I do not plan to touch at all, and that is why I think I will be forgetting that for the longest time, however at the same time I like to dabble with smaller trades and even ICO, IEO type of risky stuff, but those are very risky and 90%+ of the time they do not profit you, so I keep that very minimum, like under 20 bucks per month, maybe one day one of them will worth a lot of money, none has been too good for me so far unfortunately.

Trading is more profitable than holding currently as holding can retrace some percentage out of your current profits and make you lose a bit if a token has already reached an all time high and some tokens which you buy when they hit a trustworthy exchange like Binance (a token like CRV) but trading will keep you aware on taking profits when the markets are highly volatile and enter a new token after waiting for the right time and price of that token.

If you have good knowledge about trading and you know technical analysis, chart reading then it's good you trade but for those who are new in crypto and don't know technical details or don't have any experience about price fluctuations then it's better to hold. If you are holding good coins then it's also give you good return. Trading is always risky and you need to follow proper risk management because without risk management you can loose all your hard money. Research and gaining knowledge is good before investing in the market.

The answer is always subjective because of the different perceptions and skills of the trader. There are some who are not skill enough and it is the reason why for them holding is more good than trading but there are some who are good in both fundamental and technical analysis and for them actively buying and selling is more good to them. Actually, it is not a debatable on what's good between the two because at the end of the day,  what matters is if we are making profit from holding or in trading.

I prefer to hold because for me its the best strategy to make profit plus I dont have time to frequently monitor the market. Trading needs time and patience, you should be aware of what to do in order to timing the right moment to take profit. When I tried to be a day trader it gave me headaches and stress thats why I chose to hold everytime I buy a coins.

Nevertheless it still depend on the project if it can survive for long period regardless of the status of the market.

But you cannot ignore that even people who are all actively trading, also holding bitcoin side-by-side. Because it is a proven method to make big profits in lazy way; just invest into bitcoins and forget it and come back after some years to enjoy multi-fold profits. So, there could be the reason of not having enough skill for trading might be a false one for people to choose holding bitcoin option.

Like yourself, most people are not having enough time to learn and practice successful trading in crypto space and this must be the reason for more than 60% of bitcoiners to go for holding bitcoin instead of actively trading it. Fortunately they are all making more profits than active traders and that must be the beauty of bitcoin but some people are still not ready to understand this fact and never focus on holding option.

Action is too harder than in words :). When the are seeing how much profits people are making from crypto trading, we are really getting motivated to enter into trading but our own results are not that much convincing. It is simpler to say to buy low and sell high but practically we are not able to figure out what is low and where is high ::).

I would suggest to trade. What is the point of just holding crypto ? You just wait and inflation can "eat" all your earnings. But when you trade, you not only trying to get profit, but also you learn. Knowledge is everything in this world. Even if you lose at trading, you still gain experience. This is more valuable than money.

But my question is, how did you know the potential coins to trade? Guessing on the market is quite hard and that is the reason why I'm prefer on holding than in trading. I always afraid to take a high risk even though they say that high risk possible high profit.

I prefer to hold always than trading, I can't follow the simple basic in trading the buy when the price is low and sell when the price is high. I dont have technical or even fundamental analysis to use. Holding is also profitable without worrying too much, so I prefer on it.

I additionally choose to preserve due to the fact there is lots of hazard in buying and selling however keeping is much less probable to be a loss. But there may be a protracted wait to preserve. This calls for persistence there may be not anything to be upset approximately even though the fee is going down as clean as creating a earnings here. Before beginning the buying and selling day you've got to investigate the marketplace positions well. It is usually volatile with the marketplace order however it's far the maximum severe at the start when you have to shop for at a decrease fee.

I think it is actually better to invest than to trade with it, the reason being that once you start trading with the money you are risking yourself to loose a part of the coins or even all the coins if some trades go the wrong way. No matter how smart and experienced trader you are but you always have the chance of loosing even when you make good trade decisions. That is how our crypto market is right now and we cannot help but get used to it.

I believe someone who is a investor by nature should never try his hands on trading because trading as far as I have understood is just a no house edge based gambling where you make trades and hope to buy/sell the coins at the best possible price but not always that is the case.

If you tell people that trading is more profitable and those people are not good at trading and start at it and lose money, does that make you reliable? No. You would say that it was just an advice and you would get zero consequences of it. You caused someone to lose money because you gave bad advice but nothing would happen to you if that person lost all his money, you could simply say "if he didn't know what he was doing he shouldn't have done it" and get away with it.

Legally speaking you are 100% right and nothing would happen, but ethically speaking what you are doing is very wrong. That is why there are so many people here like me who say you should do whatever you are comfortable with and not everyone is ready for one or the other, you should pick the right one for yourself.

Yes, you are absolutely right, and what I say is only my personal thoughts and according to my experience, because as far as I know crypto, there are not many trading benefits that I get, maybe I don't have the expertise, that's why I switched to storing coins or anything. tokens that I think have the potential in the future and monitor their activeness in development

But why making the coins sit idle when you can trade and make maybe small but free profits from the same coins. In fact if you are bad at trading and feel like you might suffer losses and holding is the best option, then I can tell you a good method to make free profits from coins you want to hold. Just start a lending thread in the lending section and start giving out loans to people here at the forum with proper collateral and you can earn some free profits just by giving out those loans while having no risk involved since you have taken the collateral from them.

I always think that people should move their coins and make it work such that you gain profits from it because holding is great but you have to do nothing and hence use your time and energy to move the coins in a smart way.

6 months can be more than enough to test a trading strategy but it is not enough to test an investment strategy, think of what happened after the bubble of 2017 ended and then we suffered the crash we all remember, buying and holding bitcoin for 6 months would not have been enough to produce profits.

As such when it comes to investing you have no option but to test your strategy against the previous years and then see if you have any actual chance to turn a profit, but you will have to make sure your test is not done without any bias otherwise it will be impossible to determine if the test was successful or not.

If you usually do the trades and have a good profit, then I would say that is the best option for you. Holding is not giving assurance to become profitable, in fact, many holders has been suffering losses because they have no patience, and I don't know if you have that kind of attitude.

It somehow we have to rely on what is our capabilities. Trying to consider ourselves of what a thing we are able to do because it certainly we can't make good trades if we don't have skills and knowledge. That is a big mistake to our part.

Actually the best choice will still be dependent on your capacity as a crypto user for you better know yourself when it comes to the skills you have. Holding is good for you are just waiting for the market price to go up and down on which you are not taking any risk for you are just storing your coin in your account and waiting for the perfect time where you can already set it free for you find it profitable or not anymore.

While on trading, you were up into the challenge of taking risks seeking opportunities to grow your resources making it more profitable on your part as long as you were up into taking the possibility of taking loss. But if you are really good at trading and you are confident on your capacity to do trades, then trading is for you. No one in here could tell or dictate you which is good or better but only yourself for you do know your self capacity when it comes to crypto currency usage.

People's temptation to make money from crypto trading will attract more people to come and try to trade. But unfortunately, many of them are not trying to learn about trading, and in the end, they will say that trading is not for them because they can not make money from that.

You can try with bitcoin and the top twenty coin list from coinmarketcap or coingecko. If you can analyze one by one from that list, you will find the potential coin to trade. Holding the coin will be an option than trading if we don't have much experience in trading, but we need to have the patience to hold the coin until the price can increase.

Trade is good choice to get additional income for live. But do trade when you have a lot of experience to do that . Because successfull trader is people who have a lot of experience to research the trend of market. If we have not that skill , we better to hodl while we learn about the trade.

I used to be just a holder but after not cashing out my unrealized profit in 2017/2018 I decided that this time around I would do things differently and it seems to be working. I do hodle long term coins like btc, eth, xrp ada and some solid oracle/defi/1st/2nd layer protocols and this time around we are seeing more mainstream, institutional mass adoption happening in this space..so this time round the bull run will be a little different. I day trade a couple of small caps daily that have good volatility..then I cash out some profits and put in big caps. I got a robot that copy trades that makes me profit in USDT, and I hodle weekly medium and long term bags.

Trading is really a fast way to earn profits and be rich but it takes more time and effort to do that. If you think you already have the skills in trading, then go with it because you will never experience losing and making profits in trading if you will never try it. But if you want to play safe and take less riks, hodling will be good for you. You will still make profits but it might take a longer time depending on the value of the coin you are holding.

And give one good reason why not both? What you are going to do with the profit (if you make it)? Cash out immediately? Why not to transfer your profit in desirable coin and keep it? That's holding by the way, and can we agree that it's better to hold crypto than to hold fiat? Or you consider yourself more for fiat than for crypto?
Holding doesn't require skills and time, it requires some capital and good choices of coins you plan to hold for long run. In mean time you can have fun with trading as long as you wish, but to make profit you will need skills and time to sit and watch charts, create buy/sell orders... do both and find yourself in both!

All the fast way of earning profits are faster way to lose as well. After your time and efforts, there will be no guarantee that you will earn profits in trading; profits in trading may happen or may not happen; there will be no consistent record you could find the any trader. I am not recommending anyone to go for active trading with cryptocurrencies. If trading is your passion then you can go for long-term based trading instead of day trading.


Holding must be the way of slow and steady yet guaranteed profits (given that you are holding bitcoin kind of highly known assets).
Holding definitely got many benefits like you do not need your big time for it and at the same time it requires your less to no time. So, you can make profits only out of your investment capital unlike what we need to do with trading.

To me, both trading of tokens and hodling of tokens are both good options, what matters is your area of expertise. What are you good at doing? If trading works for you, stick to it; if hodling is your stronghold, stand by it

Because to trade, you need to learn basics and even expertise a strategy tp enjoy trading, but to hodl also, you must understand when to hodl, duration etc

Summarily its a win - win situation

lost money in trading, but didnt tried holding i will try it now.

Really good information about the both options. Identifying good projects a really tough now a days,but they give huge amount of profits indeed.
i like this concept of identifying worthy projects and try to hold,em

thank you for giving your view.

Yes you are correct, luck happened to me when i first started trading, in 15days i got 2000$ profit with 300$, but after that i have never got profits. now i will test both the options.

Thanks for sharing your opinion, it gave me some view about both the ways, i will definitly do my research.

You can choose both, I mean you can devide you capital to hold some coin for long term investing and choose trading for short term profit. I do these thing simultaneously and honestly I only choose bitcoin for my investing plan. I don't know I just have one crypto currency that good for long term investment.

As for trading, you can choose spot trading and future trading. And actually it is depend on your ability, spot trading is more safe if you just new to trade I mean you don't have much knowledge against it but if you get used to trade and you have much known against some strategy to trade then future market is good for you, with this future market you can still earn huge money with small capital.

As a newbie, mostly people prefer holding.

You don't need to be so knowledgeable to be able to hold, still you need it to identify which cryptocurrency you will be holding. It takes time and though as I said it don't require as much as knowledge, it requires a lot of patience. Maybe take those time to learn the price movements, learn some indicators that might help you trade in the future.

I think both of them are good to choose, but for myself, I prefer to keep a good project for holding. I don't have much free time to trade even though entering the market has a low leverage value, it's just that if I trade it will cause problems with my time management for now. If in my opinion, do it according to the skills you have and you like to do it because it adds enthusiasm to doing something, and increases positive energy in life.

Lost good amount of money in trading now i will consider holding now.

can you suggest good coins for holding.

Hold and trade is the best option,if you are looking for short term gains then you can go for futures but its not for everyone.Holding until the market is getting increase then sell it for profits os more simple and works for bitcoin and also if you are holding for years the returns will be unexpected.

Check my post (https://medium.com/@deandree/is-buy-and-hold-really-the-best-strategy-in-crypto-4ae0e8c77734) where I show how simple trend-following strategies beat Buy and Hold.

Good projects tokens or coin should be kept because of future exposure of the project. Holding project tokens with good prospect pays on a long-term basis, although this can be disastrous as the project can equally fold up. But, finding a good project with holding on a long-term will bring the profit needed.

Believe me, this section doesn't match everyone of us, because trade isn't meant for all. Don't start the battle without any prior knowledge, trading shouldn't be a business for all. Hold! Is better.

Trade and hold both are good options. It depends on situation and capital. If you have a huge capital, you can make trade. But if you have small capital, you can hold with a good coin.

I personally think if the altcoin you have looks good it is better to hold it, because by holding it you will definitely get a big profit to sell it, but I suggest not to hold altcoins for such a long time, because altcoins are not always good for the price and at any time the team or developer can carry out disposal suddenly.

    How experienced people says invest in technology, don't invest only for profit.
When you invest in technology you need to wait before it gets fully developed,
that takes time, but as they're bigger and better that technology will be more valuable,
and profit will come. I am more for holding as well, for long-term.

Trust me there is nothing in this world like HODL. One person said it and others are just following it because it sounds cool. It's alway buy and hold. HODL can be termed generally for securities you have held for more than 20-25 odd years. Here people have held bitcoin for no more than 3-4 years and talk about HODLing. Hodling is done due to two reasons one is when you realise your inability to trade or the second one is you make a fundamental choice to invest based on intrinsic value. In both the cases there is no comparison with trading. A person who trust his fundamentals would not sell anything. But problem with Bitcoin's fundamental is that it's valuation is impossible which is why you just hold and hold and don't know when to sell. This is a bizarre strategy as it looks good in sideways market but if market trends against you, you just look like an idiot and you can't deny that bitcoin is too damn volatile.

And for the people who say invest in technology and everything just for once go in a room alone and think of Bitcoin's technology yes it's excellent it's Innovative it's secure. But does bitcoin has such a great technology that it's worth it's current market cap? there a re a few companies developing blockchain prodcuts which might be worth but solely bitcoin?? Which so far isn't even legalized properly? This is the sole reason why traditional investors don't like bitcoin.

Remember we are comparing it with World's greatest technologies. This price is too high for a currency with any innovative technology.

Experienced in investing in cryptocurrency technology, of course, has its own storyline, but from there we can learn and understand long-term investing in technology that is currently being developed, but remember the risks also need to think about it is one of our obstacles to face and succeed. in the future.
But I am sure most of them here already know how to invest and trade, actually, we need to learn in terms of investing in technology.

I always hold btc and suggest anyone if asking for holding just hold btc .there is no project is better than btc .You can hold eth ,NEO and new defi project coin as well .If you have much btc or enough fund you can trade but you need to have much knowledge on trading cause it is so tough to get profit on trading .

In my opinion, if you already want to receive some kind of income from owning a cryptocurrency, then a person needs to start learning how to trade cryptocurrency, gaining certain knowledge and experience. It is trading that can be a good filler for your budget, if the trader has the appropriate potential. But otherwise, if you are not interested in quick profits, then for the sake of investment, you can buy cryptocurrency for the long term. In addition, confidence in the prospects of the most rated cryptocurrencies will allow you not only to increase your capital, but also to preserve your savings.

It depends upon the situation but for me I will go for short trading only, I will not hold or keep good coins because  I am afraid to feel FOMO. As long as I have my profit, I will sell the coins which I bought from low price. Keeping the coins very long can also make you lose your money especially if that coins leaved by the developer and getting dump in the market and you did not monitor the updates of the coins you hold.

Bitcoin is a very popular currency in the crypto market. Bitcoin is a very good option to hold while the prices of other currencies have fallen the price of Bitcoin has not dropped much. Even if it goes down it can go up again and make more profit. You are right that holding is good and Ethereum is a very good currency besides Bitcoin. The risk is much lower to hold even if you have enough knowledge to trade you are at risk.

1- Study main projects;
2- Buy and hodl
3- Observe the market mechanisms;
4- Start trading slowly first with small amounts;
5- Try Derivatives;
6- Pro

Yeah, Bitcoin and Ethereum is the Best coin to hold for the long term choice and rest are shitcoins so do invest or trade at your risk. Hodl as much as you can now. I’m holding a bit long and hopefully market will see some positive price action soon.

If good at trading, then should continue to trade and some amount should be invested as well. A mix of best is the ideal way and those who make losses in trading or not good then investing is good option in different coins which will make a profitable return if those rises in future. So, one must choose as per their situation.

You mean choose their specialty.

I do agree that it should be the case if you are just starting but the longer time you are here, you should also learn how to read the price chart, maybe learn some indicators that could help you to trade. You can't just rely on what you know, you should try to learn other things that could give you more profit in the future and that means it shouldn't be just investing.

We hope that better better way using technich  time by time that then you can see better result on the way but trading is the highly risky profession, Whether you wait or keep practicing depends on your personal decision, but cryptocurrency trading moves a lot every moment so trading without the right information can lead to a lot of losses.

Too complicated and annoying to my eyes, so I prefer Hodling than trading but I always check the price in the market of the coins I'm HODLING this is to make sure I am on the right track, I have threshold to look in case the coin hit it, sure trading is good you just need a lot of time and a lot of money to trade a lot of coins for profit.

Buying and holding is always the best option if you don't have trading skills because sometimes we might lose more money in trading if we don't justify them perfectly. Trading is completely Job which we need to spend a lot of time on the charts and price prediction, if we don't predict them perfectly we might lose our initial capital.

Both are good option.

If you well known about entry and exit point, then you go for trading.

Othetwise you can hold good coins which have good features and gives a good return.

For trading you must have appropriate skills and adequate experience to observe the regular rise and dip in the price so that you can buy and sell accordingly in order to get good returns.You must be daring enough and should be ready to deal with losses also because trading involves huge risks.On the other hand holding just involves buying a coin of your interest and holding until you find a good price to sell.Holding is the simplest way to earn good profits but if trading is done wisely then it can provide you with better returns than holding.So it's totally your choice,whether you want to be a day trader or you want to go for long term investments.

Therefore, trading is a tough job and if you are not knowledgeable about analyzing charts and other market issues then it will be preferable to just hodl for the long term. But, if you have a lot of time to check the market every day then of course that will be good, because when one day you get a high value then with you only hodl and without knowledge, you still have the opportunity to make a profit only from hodl in medium and long term.

Very important. This is mostly the challenge with trading but if you have built a strategy to know when to enter an order and when to also exit the other, your account will always be growing which is profitable than hodl.

There is a thing that we need to consider its either to hold or trade. Not all holders had seems to succeed, the same thing that it never also works in trading. If you are capable of doing to trade and find yourself being comfortable, but if you're seeing it very far I don't think you should need to push yourself. Because that is the reason also why you can't decide the right thing to do. On the other hand, you are just compromising yourself.

If you can afford to trade, one instance is you having an emergency fund so you have a safety net in case you hit a rough patch in trading (which will happen very often in the beginning if you are a newbie). If you just want a safe haven for your finances then you can hold, it is not as proactive as trading but you know when to withdraw your funds though you will be losing some along the way because of fluctuations but the good thing about holding is you can release whenever you want, in the end, it is up to you whether you want to hold or trade.

It is hard to say which is better. The only major difference between them is that trading is risky and requires adequate knowledge and skills before one can make profit. Hodling, however, is long term and can't be used to solve immediate needs.
I do advice that one practice both. Get the required knowledge and skills to trade and make money on daily basis. You should also buy some stable coins, bitcoin and ethereum preferably, to hodl for some time.

I am a person who likes to play it safe, therefore holding good projects is the best choice for me.
Although holding coins take longer to generate profit than trading. But if you have the skills to analyze
the market and want big profits in a short time, trading is a choice you have to make.

I always watch youtube tutorials even before and one youtuber have been said that it is upon your strategy. My set-up would become hassle to others and their set-up might not fit to me. Either you hold or trade, either you scalp or swing. It is useful when you earn. We should not argue it anymore because as long as we earn in our set-up then it is the best strategy that might fit to us as a trader.

But, in my own point of view. I am more in swing trades than a scalp. I always caught up the bottom fish but I do not trigger when the price move in 5%. I usually sell my position when it hits my 10% target or more. Swing trades fit to me specially that my internet was unstable for the current week.

In past i tried joining bounties when the team is still paying,What i am doing is selling those whom i think is no good future while i kept those promising currencies.
But when the Bear starts in mid of 2018 and most of new released tokens and coins starts to die?
i have sold all of them and start accumulating Top 5-15 currencies,i stopped joining Bounties and even airdrops to focus in Signature paying campaigns and my Real job so i never spare time just to try getting scammed by those scammers.

---

So my answer is?HOLD if you think there is a good future and sell those none.

For me Hold has made more money than trading. If you want to invest and learn use the testnet, that's what they are there for. Not your precious crypto.

Thats right, we will never know the best strategy to suit us if we didnt try both thats why we need to experience to trade for short term and holding a coin for long period. In this way we can determine the strategy that likely to give us more profit and convenience.

For me holding for long period is better because I dont need to spend a lot of time monitoring the market. But it still depends to the coins that im holding because there are coins meant to sell for short time because of the future of their project which is not firm or no concrete plan.

But that means you will be dependent on one cryptocurrency.

The most popular cryptocurremcy in the market might be Bitcoin but it is not the only cryptocurrency you could depend on. Holding is great but I think you should also try to diversufy your cryptocurrencies while you can to minimize the risk you are taking. Try to invest in other cryptocurrencies as well, then trade to another, if you can't trade well, then just hold them for some time.

Each person has his own concept of the best, the best choice or the best strategy.
Everyone's skills and abilities are different.As a rule, everyone says that hold brings more money due to the fact that during the trade a person makes many mistakes and loses money.

However, you need to understand that the sample is not taken correctly. If we are talking about traders, then we must take a sample of traders and compare them within traders.
We should do the same with holders, without mixing them with traders. This way we will avoid unnecessary errors, which are already great.

i am agree, with different skill and abilities could influenced traders psychology. trader with lack of knowledge and skill will feel unconfidence while take position in market , they always checking price in every minutes. sometime thinking to hold token but while look price corrected they be panic. hold or trade depend on our skill analizing market update and our mental.

You really should choose where you're comfortable because forcing yourself to do something that you're not confident will make you lose your money, and that's right dont think about the other people who do the opposite of your technique because they have their own process and you also have your own, if you're more comfortable in holding your assets then hold it, if not then do trades, simple as that.

You have every options, just try to work with what you think you fully understand.
Crypto industry provides a lots of options if you want to succeed you better to find ways to advance yourself.
Trading or holding are both profitable only if you know how things works and how you take your advantages.

Before I did project coins for holding, but as time goes by I realized that it's not forever. I found out that the Trade spot is the most effective tool for us to become successful in the end. Because most of the project coins failed to continue their good plan as they have from the start, mostly failed in the end. Unlike, in the Trading spot, you will learn and enhance your skills as well in doing trade.

I think to be able to advance, we need to learn them.

It is true that we have every options but to keep up with those people that are earning good profits in this market, we need to do things and get out of our comfort zone. I know that it is not easy but we can learn, we can adapt. You can start holding but you should not just do that if you wanted to be better, of course you'll learn how to trade.

I think depending on the moment and now investing is the trend that helps investors make the most profit. Of course, not every coin will be so profitable because most will depend on the situation of the market and the price of Bitcoin will decide it all. Trading for me is the fastest way to make money because I have a lot of free time and with the right strategy you will become very rich.

Hodling is risky as if by chance the project is abandoned by the owners, those who suffer lost the most are hodlers, but trading still have its own risk, the thing is making money generally involves taking some risk, but to be sincere, if i personally finds some really projects with good foundation and trusted devs, i prefer hodling to trading.

Both hodl and trading is the best way to earn in crypto. But we can also loss on it. If we are going to hodl without a big patience we can didnt hold or wait for the best time o sell our asset, tradingis also almost the same with hodl we also need patience in trading specially on coin that is high on volatility.

It depends on your taste and strategy.
If you want to make more profit without putting much effort, you might consider holding for long term. Although it's boring, it's profitable as well, but there's risk that in long run the coin might even vanish in thin air. I've seen people holding it for years only to get nothing in the last. At the same time, if you trade for little profits, over the time the little profits you will make will accumulate to a big one as well, but in this you have to put continuous effort and see the market all the time to enter and exit at a profit.

It still depends on your strategy and the potential of the coin that you're holding. There are actually good projects that don't last. You have to consider the coin's potential and the active developer behind it. A good road map is also an advantage. If you could see lots of developments and progress in a certain coin then I guess that's the best time for you to take the risks.

It will usually depend on you which one you prefer there is no need to hold on if you have a good knowledge of trade. It takes a long time to hold i usually prefer to hold the risk is higher in the case of leverage trading. It is very difficult to gather information about the rise and fall of the market. There are many good currencies in the crypto market Bitcoin Ethereum, Ripple, Light Coin. If you invest in these currencies you can get a lot of profit but it requires patience.

To me trading is good option. Though  trading comparatively involves higher risk and higher potential returns as the price might go high or low in a short while. But if you are holding then you have to wait for the perfect moment to sell coin. 

Not prefer for holding because we can't trust with developer coin holding keep exist and wanna build their coin, many cases found after success raises with higher price they not care with their coin and try to listed new coin to get much profit than keep staying with their old coin. Better trading than holding because you can take profit every time and never have bigger risk when holding some coin for long time. Have you check how many coin have delisted from big exchange market because get problem with developer and not care with their coin on lower price, the developer never trying to buy back their coin after going dump with lower price.

That's not good for me, Hold for the long term is the most effective and safest way for us to earn well in the future, if you know how to choose a better coins that has a potential to give a nice profit as well in the near future too. And one of these example coins are Ethereum, Chainlink, Polkadot, Kava, Lend, Bnb, Busd and Nem.

Out of my 100% trading, ive only made profit from 10% of them. But with hodl, I've made a lot of profit. So, I will advice you to hodl instead of trade.  You won't be scared of loosing all your funds.

It depends on the strategy and coins we choose, but because holding is boring, I prefer trading over holding.
After all, based on my experience in the cryptocurrency world, trading can generate much bigger profits.
Especially the day trading that I do, I can make a daily profit of 3%. My advice is to choose coins that have
a high volume, to be safe when trading. Usually I choose the top 100 cryptos for trading.

In this kind of market situation I can only say hold it in spot and sit back. Because the way its going up and down its can liquidate every long and short.

Theres no such thing about being safe yet day trading is much more riskier than on just simply holding which it logical thing.There are indeed people who arent really fan of holding and they do just get bored and much prefer on actively trading.Its understandable and much better to choose to trade actively into those coins which does have volume yet you can
somewhat assure that you can really deal with moving prices compared to those coins who do have sideways movement into their prices.When it comes on choosing which one
you would do then it depends into your capacity because if you dont know on what youre doing then its better to hold than trying it hard.

Hodl or trade this is just optional, everyone's thinking and knowledge is different.
But in my opinion, you can trade the coin if they don't have staking program or somethink like that. (Ex. CNS / CNR).
You can get more if you HODL that coin in website dashboard.

Trade and Hodl everything is the good option but depend on the time sometime better option is hoddle and sometime better option is Hodl and sometime better option is trading on I thing that everything depended on the time and situation, first make the decision what you want Trade or Hodl you can handle smoodly that then decided Trade or Hodl if your better option or like.

It depends on your forte. Nobody can be good at both schools and you should choose for yourself the most suitable direction. I have tried these 2 types of jobs and only holding can help me earn money and make my mind more comfortable.
I advise you to experience first, then you will also choose the style that you like and then just work hard and you will achieve results. Don't think too much, just do it first, you will know your destination. ;)

Actually, it is different to measure it from one side only. There may have some features obviously. Good can't be determined by one word. Trade if you have enough credentials and enough budget with technical knowledge. Hodl when your buying token getting the lower position. This is a common feature. There has much deep knowledge that needs to have a must if you want to become a trader.

This depends on each person and the strategy they choose.
Of course, if you are a good and experienced everyday trader you can make more money than you hold.
If you are not a person who is good at making technical analysis, you'd better hold.
Personally I choose Hold because I'm not good at everyday trading

I am more flexible in responding to this..  Trade and Hodl are not much different for me, all I want is to make a profit.  I sometimes trade if I have time and Hold if I don't have time.  but I prefer to become Hold because of my busy life in the real world, I have a car and motorcycle washing business which certainly takes up my time and keeps me from being in front of the laptop all the time..

According to my opinion both are as risky. In today world everything changing so fast the you can not say which is better server to community. In this day by day changing life I preferred to trading because you Will go with project for sometimes and then say good bye. Investing will always support big money investor because your one invest can change your life because you can not change life daily. So I preferred trading, might some people goes with investing. Thank you.

I think there is no really best choice it depends on your situation.

If you have a good market movement trading why not make a trading use the being volatile of the market, by that you could possibly earn a lot of money easily.

If you think you already lose a large amount in trading why not holding your coins to preventing losing up a large amount of money.

The best option is to choose where you can get a profit.

With volatile prices it will make it easy for beginner traders or no trading experience to panic and of course, trading is not recommended if you do not have the understanding to do so. Even if you only trade by following the trend, at least you still need a trusted partner.

Indeed, making a profit is the main choice but it is not necessarily the best because as said at the beginning, at least if you are just looking for profit without having an understanding it will be useless. So to start with, it would be better to hodl and over time while you hodl you can also study the market movements to finally start trading with a good plan as well.

If you have some sound knowledge about trading then trading is better .Holding depends upon project .If coin has stong based, Road map, Then hold is Good. We should go through these both trading and Holding.

I agree with you, I think these two techniques should be owned by all traders. If these two techniques are maximized, you will definitely get a big profit. I do both ways, but if you look at the risks, trade and hold have different levels of risk and are both capable of generating large profits. About that technique, at least we have to be able to read for yourself, which technique is more appropriate and quickly gets a profit.

If you have good time to reach over market fluctuations go for trade if not do HODL..
Both options depends on your time and consistency on the market.

When doing trades it depends on how we can manage to earn a profit. Actually, every trader has it's own strategies some prefer doing daily trades and some doing for hold. If you check the project and has a good improvement it is on our own move wether to do daily trade and we can also hold for long term. So let's just also take notes of the risks since market is volatile.

Yes you're right. You can also rely depends in which token would you like to hodl or trade. If the tokens seems so long to develop and must wait to much time but worth of waiting, you must hold it for a long time. But if the token is good for trading and have too much ups and downs then you can trade it. Strategies and techniques have huge advantage to do for trading and holding.

I know many investor get much profit from holding some altcoin assets for long term, but I am disagree for holding and better trade daily day without have big risk, we know bitcoin always have bad situation without can't prediction and give bad impact for altcoin holding become lower price, so after our altcoin assets raise to higher price and we got much profit. We have ready when bitcoin or altcoin suddenly dump to buy back and waiting profit again for trading most easy raise profit than holding.

I've always respected the two schools of holder and trader, so I don't want to make judgments on this subject. Instead of judgment, I will talk about conformity.
There are a lot of people who are billionaires and are millionaires when trading in the financial markets, besides there are also many billionaires who are genuine holders. we all see that these two schools can always make money and the important thing is who it suits to.
My advice is if you feel like doing something that makes you money and you feel comfortable doing it then you should choose it, good luck my man. ;)

At the end of the day hodl or trading your token is depend upon the needs you have in future. It is better to hodl a coin that was best for long term investment knowing that this coin would be worth waiting for and knowing that this coin would level up its value as long as you hodl it. But trading is also a good option if you're not afraid to take risks of what you have today. It only ended up on how do you play a game well for you to be able to earn as much as you wish.

It is more profitable to hold on to business if we can choose the right currency then we have to wait a long time but if the price goes up it is possible to achieve double profit the market needs to be analyzed well bitcoin and ethereum are the most popular currencies to hold in the crypto market. Most traders choose these currencies to hold.

In terms of these popular cryptocurrencies, I prefer them to trade.

I do hold most of them but when the price go up, instead of selling them, I used to trade them with a cryptocurrency like ETH and other cryptos that has a high possibility of increasing in the near future. There are a lot of them in the market though you still need to be careful since not all of them are that fast to give a profit.

heard that cex.io announced defi platform and enable credit card  purchase of tokens and they have zero fee campaign till september

Hope they extend it till next month, October. We're about to end September now so you should hurry up especially from what I know that CEX.io requires KYC?

My answer to OP's post is that have both ways. You need to trade whenever you see it benefits you for buying or selling the digital asset. Also you may need to hold on to a few digital assets too as you may never know when those assets will go boom.

You need to balanced everything, with proper knowledge it will be much easier to judge things up.

You are correct as timing is vey important each position you'll going to take will have corresponded response to your earnings.
Getting much attentions in when to trade and when to hold will increase the chance of getting better benefits.

Almost exchange right now needed KYC and become more security for your assets saving, you can hold for long time your coin on the exchange market without worry with your account after success submit KYC, but CEX.io is not guarantee you will hold safety your coin there for long time because many exchange have been stop working after their exchange hacker and without give back for investor money although billion dollar their coin assets in exchange market.

I prefer trading especially when there's a great variety of different platforms. Now I'm testing Changelly Pro. Welcome to join  ;)

Each exchange has its rules stipulated that you deposit your funds at your own risk. If the funds are lost, stolen by hackers, they will not be refunded to you. This rule applies regardless of whether you are going through identity verification or not. So keeping your assets on exchange wallets is not safe.

It's true that every exchange has its own rules like Kucoin which was hacked yesterday but Kucoin guarantees the safety of funds for its users because they have insurance if something happens like this, but all exchanges can't do this so please keep assets on the exchange not too long  because it's a high risk.

No matter how strong the security is applied on the exchange, hackers will definitely find loopholes to take the money.

In my opinion both are good. But you need to have enough knowledge about trading. For hold you need to gather knowledge about potential coin. If you want to trade then you need to spend more time than hold. You can make daily profit by trading.
By holding potential coin like Bitcoin, Ethereum, LiteCoin you can also make huge profit. But you need to wait till the Price rising.

Good option? Depends on who...
If you just want to gain profit and are a calm person who is resistant to dramatic price falls and changes, then HODL is a better choice. But trading? Well, who does nothing, makes no mistakes so in this case, this is a sure win but personally I am against HODL because if we hold our money and don't move it, then nothing will be changed/created. Money has to be in a circulation. Someone has more while others need it. When you hold, price depend on those who trade and you are out of game. Personally I don't like when something is in stuck, I prefer money to be in move but trading can cause your profits to rise and fall, everything depends on your skills and luck too, luck plays a huge role in both of these situation in any way.

That's a great benefit if you choose trading actually. You have great choice of coins if you trade, you can diversify and sell/buy it easily once the profit/goal is fulfilled.

To be honest, there is no reason to actually choose trade over hodl and vice versa. Both have their pros and cons, and if you ask anyone they have different perception regarding this.

each person has different risk appetites.
for those who can tolerate higher risks and who have emotional control and discipline trading is not such a big deal.

definitely it's possible to do both
some advice to keep trading and invetment accounts separate.

This is what the traders really do. They have separated account to swing and scalp or even hold. Both strategies will give us profits in specific time. It just depend on how we enter and what is our goal for our investment. Right now, staking can ease your patience. Why? You can gather many coins when you are holding them. This is the reason why almost all my coins can be staked in their own respective wallets. And I always left my trading account a usd / btc because it is the fund that I used to trade.

This depends on that individual though.

If you already know how harsh the movement in the market is, then people would tend to adapt and make opportunities out of it, there are others that is still new and I suggest or recommend them to HODL while they learn things or as they hold it.

I think trading is good if you have enough knowledge about alt coin. Another you don't get profit. You can make regularly profit in trade so i tell trade is good.

The same with you I am not loyal waiting for one year for holding some coin without have potential going up to higher price, many time I think why have to hold coin for long time if get chance to trade and earn daily profit every day. I think will get most higher profit when you trade your assets than hold for one or two years later, you can compare every day with $500 assets holding you can take profit about 50$ to 100$ each time your make trade, how many time trade you make almost one or two years and you can get enough profit than you have hold coin although some time you get risk with coin trading have lower price, but you can income every day and take other chance to trade with other coin without waiting your coin holding reach to the top price.

Since trading doesn't have to be difficult more longer it could be most ideal choices. At present loads of assets out there and accessible to get any alternative that suite you. You can make routinely benefit in trading as long as you have the right on risk management.

I prefer holding rather than trading in this bull market because I don't have a lot of capital and a keen sense of the market. Holding low value coins and quality , it was more in line with my goal than anything else.

If you have lots of time to monitor the market then trading is a good option for you. As long as you know what to expect and prepared for the risk then you might try it.

On the other side holding is the opposite strategy, because it doesnt require time and effort. Just buy a potential coin and set a price on when you're planning to sell it. Holding takes time to profit so if you can bear waiting for uncertain period then this strategy can fit you.

It depends on what you're looking to do, on SnapEx trading can make you a lot of profit but it also comes with substantial risks attached to it, its your choice really. You can trade at SnapEx if you would like :)

I will not choose any one separately . If you have enough capital you will hold 50% and 50% use for trade. As a result, even if there is a loss on one side, it will be able to recover from the other side.

HODL is a better strategy for new traders.HODL is simple. You buy the coins, you put them in your wallet, and then you do nothing :) 8) It is difficult to actively trade cryptocurrencies, and you need to have a lot of knowledge and experience. Newbie traders always lose their deposit, alas...

I believe, the best thing is to Hodl BTC USD (https://de.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/) 70% and trade the bear markets with the other 30%. Just like you would hedge a Long position in the indices with a short position at times like these...

It depends to you if you would hold or trade your cryptocurrencies because there are some who are not good trading, that is why they only hold their cryptocurrencies. But i think it's better if you do both trading and holding, and make a plan for it. For example, if you will only hold your bitcoins and trade your altcoins, you could have a passive and daily income at the same time.

agree, if the price of an asset is good then it is very good to sell that asset...
A professional trader will definitely not want his HODL token/crypto coin for a long time, the trader knows the best moment when buying or selling. this ability is what distinguishes a professional from a newbie.

It depends on where you are good at, there are people good in analyzing coins that will have a long term profit, these are hodlers who usually buy in the coin's crowdfunding period and just let the coin in their wallet and wait for the right and best time to sell, and there are investors who are good at checking and analyzing the chart and they can take action at the right time, for them timing is everything, right time to buy and right to sell, this is how they make profits.

Professional traders prefer to do both to have an idea about the trade and hold but in the case of newcomers it is better to hold. If you don't know much about the market then trading every day will be risky and you will lose everything at once. Even if you don't have much knowledge it is possible to make a profit the price goes up. you need to practice trading charts and strategies well this will make Trade or Hodl easier to get a good idea for any currency trade and investment.

Both methods are good if you know the project well. The only difference is Hodling takes time and makes boring when the price falls down after holding for so months also but trading future makes a quick profit within a day. Its bases on you whether to take quick profit or Hodl some good tokens researching it.

Holding becomes boring if you don't do anything when there's a dump.

You need to do something if you're too bored to see the portfolio you have because it's just dropping. In that scenario, you can buy more and add it to your pile.

It's a common thing being done by most holders.

Both are good options, everything depends on your preferences.
Trading is active earning of Bitcoin and holding gives you psssive income. If you don't have enough time, knowledge and experience then holding is maybe better for you.
To my opinion combination of trading and holding is the best option and optimum ratio of handling risk and making profit.

I can't say that holding gives you a passive income, not seems impossible but having this kind of market where changes are inevitable, can't give any assurance to us. I'd come into that kind of idea before, I hold some of my altcoins (not Bitcoin) but unfortunately, they are all dying after holding it for a year. And from that, I realize the high risk in long-term holding especially when you are holding altcoins.

Holding must be in good timing and that probably it works when we are just holding Bitcoin, buying it at low and hold, that certainly it works. But if we are buying when the market price is already high, holding might be brought you into possible losses.

The principle you say, it's not entirely reasonable either when some stage, the holder is losing more than the normal trader, even the patience they are always proud of has betrayed them, the account is split so much that it is impossible to return. And finally, the method you mention is the best way to strike a balance between monthly returns and long-term returns, the trader becomes a temporary holder and the holder begins to become a trader, the risk will increase in part, but more profits and opportunities will be created

Its all depen on your skills,If you are good at trading and have all characteristics which a successful trader have then trading is best option because you can earn on daily basis.HODL is all about deep study about the project and the complete knowledge of coin,usage of coin,marketcap of coin.Before HODL any coin must know the future analysis and how much percentage will gain in tageted time.Also know the diversification of the market,dont invest whole capital in one coin or project.

I think Hold is better option then Trading but as my opinion also trading are not bad option. Becouse i see that on this season many people make very good amount from crypto trading. But Hold is gold but need good project or coin for holding.         

It depends on the situation, if you have the enough time to spend on trading then go for it. In this way, you can monitor your trading activity. But if you want to have slow passive income, then it is better to hodl your coins. It is still better to hodl those top altcoins in the market.

This question depends on the market situation of cryptocurrencies and its current value. Personally, I would recommend to HODL than to trade due to the latter's complexity and high skill ceiling which is required as compared to the former.

In HODLing, you are required to hold your investments and sell them to a price which you are comfortable with it, which is above the price you initially acquired them. In trading, it involves a series of skill, time, and dedication where the proceeds are relatively NOT guaranteed. Although HODLing also involves risks, the amount of risk in trading is far more superior; which is why I suggest that you keep your investments and sell them at ATH.

Indeed it is depend on the situation of what coin you are holding. If the price of a certain coin is good then why not trade. Also how can you earn if you are just holding, take profit when you are earning. Just hold to the point that a project is good for long term. Choosing on the top altcoin is also a good move when entering the marker during this season.

Both are different terms where trade is for those who have that knowledge with enough funds. Hodl is for those who already bought the tokens or coins which isn't reached at your expectations level. Both has potential in their own way. You can choose one from them.

It is difficult to deduce, because trading or hodl has to do with the personality of the trader, if you have or want to be a market speculator you have to trade, because you feel what movements can come and with which you can win, but if you are not sure , and if you are one of the people who are patient, who firmly believe that an investment will pay off in the long term and that you will be able to wait until you make a profit then Hodl is the best.

Although many mix both trading and hodl, it is best to achieve the necessary discipline to do so. Although many combine trading and hodl, it is better to achieve the necessary discipline to do it without breaking your own plan, you cannot stop following your own rules because otherwise it will be a problem.

It depends on the person. Let me clarify those people who can not trade then he can hold. Which is a best option for him. But if you can trade then why you need to hold. Because everyone knows that trading is the fastest way to generate profit and lose both. But a trader has both option because he is able to deal with both trading and holding option in crypto. I suggest you something that if you are new in crypto then holding is best option and also i suggest you to learn trading in this holding period. And also holding is also better for those person who took crypto as a long-term investment platform like real state, gold or many more. But if yoh want to be a full fime on crypto then trading will be a best option for you. But firstly learning is must. Thank you

Both are good choices, it's up to us how we manage them.

If you choose to hold funds on a good project, for example: you keep your funds in BTC which is one of the largest currencies. There are times when this currency's price will decrease. Not only Bitcoin alone, all crypto currencies will definitely experience a decline in price quality. In my opinion, in holding currency, if I have made a profit, I will sell the profit, and I will hold the initial capital again. Since we have already benefited from there, we don't need to be greedy to get multiple profits. On the contrary, it will be risky, we will be too darkened with the imagined benefits of holding the currency, until we forget that there will be a decline in prices after that, and we don't even get the benefit, but instead we get losses from the consequences of holding it continuously. It is better slowly but surely, rather than waiting for profits that may not necessarily happen as we imagine.

If you choose to trade with lower leverage. In fact, it is a good choice. If we trade all our assets, it will be very risky if we experience losses. Because, if you have suffered a loss, we want the loss of assets to return to normal as soon as possible, even though we still want to get a profit. Better to trade with half of our assets. If we experience a loss, we will not panic too much and can still think about ways to reverse the loss capital without having to rush to return it. If we fully trade these assets, the way to reverse capital if we experience losses will be even more difficult, because there are no assets that can be used to reverse capital. We have fully used assets to trade to reap multiple profits, but instead suffered losses. In fact, it is a mistake, because we are too sure and greedy for the shadow of our own gain, which actually makes us fall at a loss.

If the project is good and promising then I think holding the token is a very good strategy and specially when the market is positive and majority of the Defi related projects are a big success. I think Future trading is a bit risky at the moment because with the recent Bitcoin and alts fluctuations, chances are that you may end up loosing all you money, and this very thing happened to one of my friends.

Better trade on spot and never try with future trading because when coin less from your prediction all you money gone or liquid, but with spot although price dump you have second chance waiting when price back to higher and wait for recovery your loss, I think many trader now how bigger risk by trading on future but looks more profitable with future because we can trade with price dump or pump.

For me hold .but if you have good experience about trade so you can go and trade. many new people comes in bitcoin and they have no idea about trade so if they hold bitcoin their profit a good amount and no ricks lost of investment.. hold is gold i say it always. someone bought  1000usd crypto and wait for pump they earn 5x money.

The point here is how your knowledge leads you to the right project to hold. Both have the advantages if you have the right ideas
within your chosen venue of investment.

Such information is very important as it will allow you to gain each time your timing went in the right directions.


Risk are high, the volatile condition of this market makes things harder to predict, Chances of wrecking your investment is there
you need to have the balls and big nerve to carry things over.

Trading or holding both makes good profits when the market is active and hot.  Mostly I choose to keep my money.  Because most of the time I choose projects for money growth as the platform grows.  However, when the market is stable, it makes a lot of sense to spend a little while trading.
If mastering skills, analysis, time, trading with margin is also interesting.

For BTCUSD (https://de.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/) I simply do both. 70% of my "Crypto-Money" is in hodling, with 30% I am trading actively. best way for me. should even have done 80/20 tbh

lessen if you never hold so you cant  never a rich man.  trading a chance for large your fund and earn missive income. but  trading is very risky . but if you don't want take risk so i advice you please hold your bitcoin and altcoin .don,t panic. just buy and hold. wait for big pump. will you earn big profit more than trading .but if you have experience about trading so you can doing both. 

I hold some alt coin 2018 that market value is 30k usd. But after five month i saw it price down and down. I Don't sell this cause i think good project it price increase after time. My all invest is loss i get only 3k usd. So i tell trade is best if you know about crypto market.

Smile. I love this kind of question. You see what works for you might not work for other people. For me, as long as its called altcoin, I do not think I can hodl for a very long time. The highest I can hodl is a week and after that I'm going to sell it off. Why on earth will you be holding some altcoins? Why, some project are not worthy of hodl at all. Make your profit and run quick as you can. Because if few months or even weeks you will be surprised what would have become of such coin. I have learnt my lesson in a very hard way and since then I decided that hodl is not for me expect it is a stable coin. If its not, straight to the market to make my cool cash.

What happened? You got affected by the 2018 crash?

Yeah, active trading will be more profitable when market conditions are in high volatility conditions or are in high volatility conditions. Volatility is the amount of price change that shows the performance of market fluctuations in a certain period. Short-term trading will be better if the amount of the price difference has higher fluctuations. Therefore, short-term transactions can benefit both buying and selling of the difference in price. Meanwhile, the advantage of long-term investment or buy and hold shares is dividends, provided that the company's fundamentals are good, and have a history of periodic dividends.

Even though it is rarely traded, risks cannot be separated from investing in long-term stocks. It may be that you have felt safe holding a stock for a long time, but the stock market has experienced shocks triggered by the global financial crisis and this happens when you are close to your retirement. The profits that you have accumulated over the years will be reduced or even erased. Losses in long-term stock investing can also occur when bad things happen to a company whose shares you own and there is no hope of bouncing back. In fact, several years earlier the company continued to record good performance.

Something to note on, you need those skills in  order  to have a good venture withing this venue of business
is not for all, only to those who have that nerve.

Conrolling your emotions and have a mindset that will allow you to explore, there are many strategy that
you can use just not to relied with one but keep enhancing it from time to time.

I think both. If you have knowledge of the trade, you can gain profit by trading in short term. Profits in less time but more risky in trade. If you hold a coin, you have to see its future. After analyzing everything, hold coins need to be determined. Because it can be for the long term. Example for Hodl: ETH, BNB, MKR, Tron etc.

Both trading and holding is not a bad Idea depending on the method that works for you everybody have his or her own method that works for then so you don't have to follow what people say just make sure you know the pattern or format that works for you and stop asking people the one that works for them, What works for you might not work for me. But me in particular I really believe in holding a coin I believe if you really want to make cool cask in Cryptocurrency just do your research about a coin and if it is really a nice coin you can just buy and hold for months and you will be in a huge profit. But also trading also works for others but am not the type that really like trading I prefer buying and holding a coin.

Trading is not easy to handle. Frist you know the trading information. Market price is any time to change. You know the day by day changing the maker price. Then easy to handle and right time to hold the Bitcoin. Bitcoin price is not easy to guess. Before trading and investment. You know the market information. So follow the market price daily basis.

I can't choose between the two because they both have their own pros and cons and I think that they will fit based on your situation and yourself. If you are on the passive side of things, hodling is better for you because there isn't a need for an active approach with hodling, the only downside is that you don't earn dividends like stocks when you are hodling, you are just waiting for the price to go higher than what you initially bought it to make a profit. Trading on the other hand can help you make more money if you are on the active side of things but the downside is that risks are involved and you have to have some skills in analysis to help with your trading.

it depends on what is good for you or what works for you . i will suggest you stick to holding as a newbie and learn through the process after which you will finally decide if you have the patience and determination to be a holder or trader and you can also practice the two.

From my point of view if you can bear risk you should go for trade. Because it can make you lots of profits. But if you don’t wanna take risk and wanna save your fund than hodl is the best choice. Its a good way of earning more without bearing high risk.
So if you want more money and wanna take risk you should go for trade.
And if you don’t wanna take risk and earn money without lossing lots of fund its better to hodl..

I think it's totally up to you, if you want to make some gains during the short term, trading can get you that but I hope you are aware of the risk attached to it or have experience or knowledge of how trading actually works cuz if don't and you still go ahead to trade you will get nothing but deficit returns, cuz trading requires knowledge of how it works a noob can't just make profit from trading with any trading knowledge except its from a trading signal, but if you have an idea about it then go ahead to trade, although holding might be better

Holding only if you cant stay on candles all day.

I think it depends on you and your money and trading skill.Hold and trading for me,I like both.But Hold is best option in newbie. Trading is not an easy.When you Start trading Then YOU need to know about trading and good skill.coz better experience and trading skill is necessary for trading. So i think long time hold is better.

While merchants hold fast to the previous worldview most financial backers fall into the last class. Outfitted with the mantra of purchase low sell high these financial backers search out underestimated stocks and get them with the plan to clutch these situations for a really long time if not years
To them an organization's solid crucial qualities and sound administration override all the disorder and motion that is inborn on the lookout and in time the stock will remunerate them with an enormous profit from their capital.

A purchase and hold methodology is a long haul, detached procedure in which financial backers keep a somewhat steady portfolio after some time paying little mind to transient variances.
The accomplishment of purchase and hold has been demonstrated by authentic information and is the favored contributing system of industry monsters like Warren Buffet.

Why only choose 1, if you can do both things because trading and hodling will sure make you reap some profits in the future. The only difference is trading makes your reap it sooner than just wait and hodling it.
But it really depends on the person if that's included in his/her field of experties, surely there's always a room to learn and first timers. Also trading needs so much time to analyze and evaluate the market before you eventually trade to avoid some mistakes that will likely lead you to losses. As well as patience, it really needs a lot of it! So if you have both the time and patience then sure, you can do trade. Hodling in the other hand, doesn't requires some time to check and analyze always, all you have to do is wait patiently until that goal of yours comes or the timetable you've expected.

Your level of patience will decide for you. If you have enough patience to hold then go for it by learning the technique involved but if your patience isn't good enough you should consider trading spot or future with low leverage eliminating greed taking profit when due and knowing when to exit trades. Both options are nice it depends on your kind of person

Both are good options but depend on your skills but for me I choose hodl as best option. Once you can hodl for long period of time you may surely make it. I hold Shiba inu for a year and I make  it very big there, in fact I make it more than my expectation. And to be honest trading  have much stress and once you are trading you always active online because anything can happen between between minute but you can hold and even forget some times that you are having something. Holding is all depend on your level of patient

before we choose, we must know the difference between hodl and trading
1. HODL is easy, but it will be problematic if we buy it at high price
2. Trading is more difficult, buy and sell at the right time to realize profit

I think holding and trading have their own difficulties. not only floating minus causing panic sell in hold, but also when floating plus sometimes we are unable to control our emotions to immediately sell it even though it has not reached the target. on the other hand trading is more difficult because we have to sell and buy at a more specific time so we don't lose the moment especially in high fluctuations

Indeed right, that emotion that excite us to sell even the pump is just starting also made our investment suffer, instead
of maximizing our profits we sell it out in the early stage, most of the time that becuase we don't really folow the development of
the project, we just invest and not really do our research.

If you have a lot of patience ,then holding is better because many good project coins become valuable after a couple of months or years. But if you are good in trading and you want your coins grow even more, then, trading is the best. It depends on your decision and capability.

I'm an experienced holder and I can say that if you're not an effective trader then just choose the easiest. And that is to just hold while you're looking at the market at its best and worst times.
This is what's good in the crypto market, you can adjust and adapt what you're good at and there's no need for you to be pressured. If the other doesn't work for you anymore, do the other and that's how you adjust to remain and stay whether as a trader or a holder.

It was possible that he was buying too high a price. Not everyone has the mentality of holding. I think they have their own way of profiting. They have to adjust to what their heart says. Mental training is the hardest thing. Until now sometimes I also experienced some mistakes because I did not have a mental adherence to the analysis.
I wouldn't advise the author to hold or trade, as it's tailored to your ability and convenience. So my advice is to choose one that you think is comfortable and safe. If you have chosen you must be ready do not regret, because the choice all has risks.

Both way is best for profit but I recommend do both way divide your portfolio in two part then make profit in every way because now days market is full with manipulation so hodl is best choice

I think you are entitled to make this decision on what you do, because for you to know that the project is very good, that means you can keep the coin for some time, all you need I a very strong investment so as to get a very large amount of profit. But always take note of the market situation so as to monitor your wealth.

both have their own character, if we can maximize them then both are good, even if done simultaneously though. with trading we can make money in any situation, whether it's in bearish or bullish conditions. while with hold we wait for market uncertainty but believe that later it will always print new ath, so it's just a matter of time

Trade and Hold are both good, however, in choosing spot trading is much better compared to future in my own views and opinion only.
Because maybe I had been doing trade in the spot and so far so good. Though, I never try to use future trading, but I am currently much more comfortable in spot trading rather in Future trading.

I have a different prespective on trading, many think that crypto trading is very easy it's just buying coin at dip and selling when it gets high.  But in reality it's very much different thing. You will be amazed to know that majority of traders are in loss (correct me if I m wrong). While hodling is matured strategy and you won't get loss if you follow this.

Trading still depends on your skills. You could do spot or even futures depending on your target profit as well as the capability of your chosen coin. Some coins are good for long-term holding while there are also coins with high volatility which are worth trading. Things will also depend on your target time frame.

Both have risks plus yes benefits. It depends upon what you are expecting out of. Usually when you go for a trading, you at least should have enough knowledge on the market and basic analytical skills to handle it in order to take a good profit besides usual losses that everyone goes through. But yes holding as well needs the same skills to watch the market and take profits when you hold as well. Your patience is the other key element to manage both.

yeah just stay where you're comfortable to make profits, and i agree also that both is a good option as well. But for me personally i like trading than holding because when it comes trading you can see what you can do and what you cam make everyday or after week etc, which unlike holding that very stagnant and its like your waiting for nothing especially if the coin you hold isn't performing well..no thrill for short , perhaps its only for those people who don't have time to study the market.  :D

The decision is yours to make at the end of the day, because trading may seem easy while hearing about it but if you've not gained expertise in it, then it isn't the best option for you, hodling on the other hand is adviced for newbies cause the strategies and techniques isn't as technical and difficult as trading.
If you've opted to trade, then I'll advice you use spot trading instead

Your point of view completely coincides with mine and that of many people, yesterday's big bang showed the role of spot trading compared to futures trading, almost all accounts in the futures market were forced to close, low leverage also cannot resist the suppression and strong onslaught of the bear market while spot trading doesn't face this forced crash, it's all about transitioning the status bar, from dynamic trading to quiet holding. Such an explanation is that we have seen the interaction between trading and holding, can distinguish between primary and secondary cards but cannot miss each other.

There are not many successful traders around, there are only handful traders that are in profit in the long run. Majority are in loss and I m one of them that's why I don't recommend this to new one. Only old and experienced people can handle trading. I recommend HODL is best if you are new to crypto.

we can choose between the two based on the busyness we experience

for someone who has an outside job then being a holder is a good choice but if you don't have an outside job then trying to become a trader is a good option too, but keep learning slowly and patiently

Both have risks, but can also provide high returns. You need to have knowledge of the crypto market, analysis techniques, project evaluation, and capture information quickly because this market is heavily influenced by relevant news. For those who are new to the crypto market, I think they should to hold. Evaluate and choose a good project to join or can choose the top coins on the market. However, you need to be very patient if you choose to hold for the long term

Because I often appear urgent needs that must be met immediately. I would prefer to day trade over hold. With daily trading I will get profit faster even though the profit will not be as big as when I choose to hold the coin. But hold takes a long time so when there is a sudden need that must be met immediately I can't fulfill it. So I think to determine the strategy that will be carried out you must also consider how your situation is. Do you need money quickly or can you wait a long time.

If you don't know trading then holding top coins are best. If you have experience in trading then you can earm good profit in trading. The people who sell when it hits highs and buy when it hits lows are probably doing alot better than  Holders... Hodl just means you have to keep spending your own money to accumulate.
The volatility in this market can be best friend for traders.

It's not good for newbies to get on it already but they wouldn't learn if they won't try it. That's in the long run, these newbies will gain experience and it's for them to decide which is the best option for them. So if it's about holding and they've been here for years, they shall see how profitable it is to get into holding. While for the others that have learned to trade very well, they can count for themselves to be good traders and will eventually improve.

Indeed, for a newbie, it is very important to have as much experience as possible.
because by having a lot of experience I think they can make the right decisions according to the conditions they are facing

Having a lot of experience needs time before we can acquire that and also a lot of money lose from trading that's why before that to happen maybe its better to do research first before going on something you didn't know especially trading is so unpredictable. Also its better to learn from what other traders mistake than yours since its so costly to do mistakes in trading.

They will. Having experience will make them wiser and they will see the events how they'll act on them. Just like us before, we don't know what to do.
And when can only react to the market if we're going to have the same experience and we have already dealt with it. That's why having experience in the market, good or bad is actually a gain to the newbies. It will make you do the right thing, and that's to hold or trade.

In looking for profit opportunities in crypto, I prefer to trade. When trading, so as not to rush, carefully analyze the current state of the market. Spot trading I've learned is easier, and holding it is the ultimate solution when the market isn't going our way. Try it futures trading, I think this is better.

we can see that trading and holding a coin is a different way when we use coin and cryptocurrencies, we can see that trading are we can buy in the low price and sell it in the higher price, so it can makes us get the margin of the buying and selling, but holding a coin is a good way too, you can see the history, on 2015 if we hold 10 bitcoin, and sell it right now (2021) how much money we will get?
so i think trading, and holding are the different ways, my advice is you can use a half of your money to hold and another half to holding, it will be a great decision to hold a coin

Since the market is not looking beautiful for traders to achieve something good, it will be better for any trader that want to make massive income from this month of November to start holding their coins for future purpose. Trading your coins now will not help you to make a suitable profit from your trade than to cause you achieve little profit from your trade.
If you can hold to allow the market to look beautiful by allowing the price of those coins to increase higher in the exchange market will allow you to make a good profit from the market. Anyone trader that try to hold before the end of this month will make a huge amount of money from the market.

it is a choice and I think it depends on the strategy and ability of a person. trading takes time and also patience where if we can choose the good coins and can also trade well then it will be profitable. besides that, holding the coins is also a good choice for coins that are indeed good for long-term investments where the price will spike up in a few years, but it does require more patience because it takes longer. for me, I choose both where there are some coins that I trade and some coins with good prospects I hold for me to invest. so whatever it is the choice will be profitable if we can manage it well.

both are equally profitable. however, to become a low leverage coin trader one must really have high skills and abilities.
I think it's easiest to become a holder by choosing a good coin project, but the holder must be patient until the price is at the highest position. because we know the holder can't do anything and can only wait

They are profitable but the level of profitability will really be entirely different because active trading or dealing with movement or volatility could really give you the chance on making profits in short time basis and for long term then they would just simply hold and wait for the right time.

It is understandable that the profits you could made will be more compared when you are just simply holding but somehow dealing with
active trades is way too risky.

It is not for all that's why some decided to hold instead.

I agree that trading needs a strategy and your skill for making a decision, in this current market situation many people will worry if they wrong analysis and wrong decision. It will make their capital can goes to 50% losses at any moment. There's staking option if you still worry about the bear market situation and wait till the market calm first.

Trading and holding depends on completely a investors and traders. If an investor and trader preferring with his trading and investment, he should continue with their jobs . But I think both plafrorms very much popular and profitable.

actually both have their own advantages. hold if indeed the coin from the project has a good prospect. trading is also good if we can do it well. personally, right now I prefer trading, but not day trading but longer trading, I mean monthly. This slumping crypto market makes us have to be smart in trading so we don't get the losses. but behind that all trading and holding have their own advantages and risks, which will depend on how we manage them.

I will prefer hold coin and also do spot trade. Spot trading is risk free trading. If coins down you hold for some time but your portofolio will not go to zero. Using leverage there is 70% chances that you will be liquidated . whale will not let you earn but they enters in market to make money for himself.

it all depends on the habit that is often done, because trading and holding is true, it all depends on who wants to do it and both are equally good, because both are profitable, it's only a matter of time that makes the difference.

indeed, trading with very active coins is very profitable because that movement is what traders are looking for. but also of course with no small risk, but if you are used to trading then it will definitely continue to be done.

holding for potential coins is also very good, but usually good coins have a very high value. so if you want to hold, obviously you need a lot of unused funds, because it takes a long time and only then will you be able to achieve optimal profits.

we have to talk realistic and simple.  in this case I give advice.  when the market is going down hold is best, and when the market is starting to go up trading can be done.  we should give something simple but proven to be accurate instead of always speculating or seeking too much advice

It depends on your personal preferences if you are active on market you can make a trade like doing a short term trading because you can ride the market volatility but if you are not quite active on the market hold is the best and ideal thing to do just bought a coin to the dump and sell it to the preferred price and also it lessens the stress might give because you don't need to watch the market every day.

There is nothing complicated about trading, but the current market movement is not good, so I recommend we take some profits when we see that we are profiting. And also we can also save our porfitlio from big  dump

Trading is always risky, so invest only with funds you can lose because now we have whales that change the market movement in a short period of time, so short term will not give us good profits. So I recommend holding is best because many coins will give a great return if we hold them for a long time.

The trading process isn't very difficult, but because of unfavorable market movements these days, I recommend taking profit is better option . And also be able to make a good income percentage without any fear and have a fund when any big dump happens.

choosing to trade and then using a holding strategy is a combination that works well. both strategies will provide benefits.
trade to take some profits on market fluctuations with the scalping method, but it would be better if you use a large amount of capital. For holding buy some altcoins at the bottom price and then hold them until the price reaches bullish or hype. For example, holding altcoins such as shiba, doge and altcoins that have potential in the future.

It's easy to say that it isn't really difficult.

But the actual thing is truly hard to do.

Holding is the best option for me. The market keeps on surprising and changing its trend and within a day, a lot can happen that you may not expect.

Holding is something that you do hear off to be the most simplest and easiest way but honestly it isnt still easy yet you would able to have those temptations and panic
whenever you do see on whats the condition of the market.Therefore, if you do really mean on holding then you shouldnt let yourself do actively watch the market
every now and then because it would really greatly affect your plans of holding.For those who do love to trade actively then it cant be blamed since not
all would be having that long patience for them to hold for long but instead they do go after on dealing with moving price actively.

If you've been doing it for a long time, that would be easy for you already. Not only in holding but also in trading.

But you're right, it requires patience and also self-control, if you don't have such, holding is going to be useless to you. The hard part in holding is when there are those times that you might have sold already but you didn't.

I think hold is more suitable for me, because right now I'm just learning to trade, and I still often lose. Therefore, I invest some of the capital I have for the long term. but on the other hand I also want to learn daily trading, in order to have an income every day. that way my goal will be to have a double income, I think it's interesting

Risky, too risky. For beginners, the best option is https://jet-bot.com/

If good at trading, then should continue to trade and some amount should be invested as well. A mix of best is the ideal way and those who make losses in trading or not good then investing is good option in different coins which will make a profitable return if those rises in future. So, one must choose as per their situation.

Holding is not as easy as everyone think as it takes too much time. But holding is very good option in comparison with selling and buying at the spot. Holding can be advantageous if you do not have knowledge about the price and cannot predict the actual price then its really good for you to just hold the coin. It will overcome the extent of your failure.

It depends entirely on you. Moreover, by looking at the state of the market, you can understand for yourself what should be done. In my opinion the current market is in a place of confusion i. However, if one takes a risk here, one can get good results. As we know that the market capital is unceasing.

Both are good option for making money but it's depend on different people.Trading is good for the experienced people as they have a lot of experience in trading and for newbies it is good to buy some good coins and hold until they reach their desired target.

Yeah,it's all depend on an individual,but I prefer holding to day trading because of the risk involved.Holding does not carry much risk as day trading does,because it takes a longer period of time to yield,while day trading is highly risky because it's immediate.
But it all depends on what you need the money for,and why you need the money that will make you take the risk and trade daily.

New trader will lose if he start day trading without learning and experience. I remember when i start day trading i made good profits in two days but next days loss profit and also some portfolio decreases in week. I stopped day trading and hold some coins and my portofolio backnat initial stage. I prefer holding over any kind of trading for new users.

As a newbie is also needs to learn and find knowledge as much as possible first before holding a coin, most newbies i heard are just following famous peoplle when buying a cryptocurrency, famouse people who pump their coins that they holds.
So, before deciding to hold some amount of cryptocurrency, make sure doing an own research and see a lot of review from many sources.

I think all depends on individual area of expertise since not everyone are good in trading crypto currency. As for me buy and hold is more simpler and more risk free as compared to future trading or margin trading. Although, if you are good at trading crypto currency via margin there is a tendency of you making good profit but remember this "if you're good in margin trading".

All depends on the perspectives of the investors. Day trading is risky indeed, but if you understand well how the market works, the opportunities to earn in a much quicker time frame are very possible.

It's more about how you work with your investment, holding to maximize your profits or day trading to gain quicker growth of your assets.

All will rely on your good understanding and your vision for your investment.

Holding and trading both plafrorms very much popular and profitable. But both plafrorms very risky also. Because sometimes we holding such a coin which have no enough liquidity on exchanges . It's may bring losses for us.

I like your plan, combining these two strategies can be more profitable. However, I think it is more suitable for those with long experience. For those who are new to the crypto market, they will have some difficulty in daily trading because they do not have too much knowledge of analytical methods, they need a long time to research about crypto and related issues

Trading and holding depend entirely on the individual. There are many who like holding and investing in different coins and holding them for a long time. Again there are many who prefer to do daily trading.

I always support trading because trading is the best option for me. Trading only short time , actually short time trading gives me daily profits but profits amounts very low compared than longer term trading....

Well said. Also, it would depend on the knowledge, skills and even experience of a person in the market. Moreover, the condition of the market and of the coin, the trend, liquidity and potential growth are also considerations which one to choose and more ideal option for an individual.

I always hold btc and suggest anyone if asking for holding just hold btc .there is no project is better than btc .You can hold eth ,NEO and new defi project coin as well .If you have much btc or enough fund you can trade but you need to have much knowledge on trading cause it is so tough to get profit on trading .

Not an easy access to success, those newcomers needs to expereinced everything first before they can create their own
system that will work with this kind of industry, choosing your path will take some time, either you are into long hold
or you want to play with daily trading, all will depend to how you understand the business.

Correct. That’s why many newcomers who are too eager to try and explore everything, one step ahead of their knowledge, have encountered some unfortunate situations. I think that you will only get to decide which option is much suitable for you, or if you could do both, after gaining experiences and staying for some time the market.

ya.ya.yo!

If you’re new, I would recommend you to start with HODL because it is relatively easier than trading. If you want to trade, start with small trades, such as 1% of your portfolio per trade and no more than a few trades per week. You should also invest time in learning technical analysis. The point is to start slow. Trading, however, can be more beneficial in longer and short term

Depending on traders for trading or Hodl both are good options but future trading is not a good option only spot trading is a good option and Hodl but if you have good knowledge in trading and learned about trading signals and charts then the best option is trading in the spot market and if you are not good trader then you should Hodl of good altcoins and wait for a good profit.

On long-term trading aka investing the fundamentals will have enough time to be reflected in the charts while on the short-term (up to a few weeks or even months) you will encounter fluctuations that do not necessarily depend on fundamentals, but on the agendas of other market participants and their feelings. That is why probability and technicals are so important on short-term trading.

As most of the people on this thread recommended IF you do like trading and you have the time for it you should start slowly. First learn as much as possible then start practice on a demo account and then using a small bankroll.

Trading does really need;

1. Effort
2. Time
3. Risk management

Investment

1. Proper selection
2. Fund handling/Capital
3. Crucial decision making on when to sell.

There might be some similarities in between the two but choosing on which one
So its a personal choice whether which side you would be taking in.

I think hold is better because I have seen this situation at my own eyes that some time I bought many coins which was suddenly dip which I sold out then after two days it will become up to the high.so I thought trading need time.

It's time and the commercial center will guide you when to request and. Everybody has their own procedure and strategy venture, Person A could be said holding is the great choice however Person B could be exchanging a wise speculation as well.

To make a profit in trading, of course, we need to be patient, especially since the crypto market is famous for being volatile.
a time to sell and a time to hold on
In making decisions, you need to be careful with full consideration too

That's because of your experience.

I do say the same thing about holding. When the dip has come, if you have the cryptos on your hand, yeah you better hold it. But if you have the chance to buy, just do buy it so that you're going to have some more.

No place for the weak hearts and only going to say that the market is deteriorating and there's no way for it to recover. How many times we've seen this happen and it's not a surprise anymore to us.

Both trade and hold are good options, depending on which one you prefer and which one you are more familiar with. You also need to consider your knowledge and your experience, choose which one you more understand. If you have enough knowledge and experience in both trading and holding, you can do both. So, we cannot generalize it, purely depends on the capacity (ability) of the person. However, if you want to decide whether to hold or trade, don't forget to analyze the price move history and its potential in the future. If you think it is a pump-dump coin that is only hype (trending) temporary, better to avoid holding for a long time.

In my opinion, both are equally good and have their own advantages and disadvantages. Trade or HOLD depending on the market conditions you are facing, if it is possible to trade why not. This will actually make you profit faster. But if the market turns out to be stuck or continues to fall it's better to choose HOLD. Both things depend on you, because you have to be smart about choosing when to trade or HOLD and when to buy or sell coins.
