Some people say that Buy and Hold is the best strategy and can't be beaten. They hear phrases like “95% of traders lose money” and automatically assume that all trading is bad and markets can not be outperformed.

In my Medium post, I’m going to show you, that holding might not be the best option if you put in a little bit of work. To do that, I compare Buy and Hold returns for 25 coins with several basic trend-following strategies in different time periods (over 3.5 years of data and then a little extra).

Let me know what you think! Thanks!

When it comes to the crypto market I personally don't think there is a best strategy out there as it will always depend on the trader doing it and if he has the time to do this. Yeah buy and hold in your results might look like the worst thing to do and there will be no analysis involve but some people here don't have the time to have their own trading style that's why they are doing it due to lack of time and knowledge with TA. Hodlers still have a chance to maximize their profits by just waiting for the right time to buy rather than just buying right away (I'm referring to DCA).

Buying and hold are just an alternative of day trading. There are still risks when you buy and hold it for how many days/months/years.
If you also planning to sell what you bought before, it's still trading but it's just really takes too much time, compared to day trading which for me there is much more risk compared to buying and holding it for a long time.

I will categorically state that if I had not sat there and done absolutely nothing I would have far fewer coins than I have now. Every time I thought 'hmm, maybe I should make some moves here' they would've turned out to be a heap of shit.

The one thing I wish I had done differently is DCA'd but after that I still would've held only.

People seem to arrive here believing trading or timing the market is the default option and they're guaranteed to 'win'. It should be the polar opposite.

I guess strategy depends on the coin and your own goals.

I have plenty of shitcoins that I held on to all the way down thinking they couldn't go that far into the toilet, but they did. If they approach a decent price again they'll be disposed of without a second thought. For stuff like that I want a profit that's extracted for good.

Timing buys and sells for something I have long term belief in in the attempt to get more of it is a different matter. I wouldn't do it as the chances of winding up with less than I started with are very high.

not always the purchase has to hold for a long time, if you already feel that the price can be profitable, do the sale and carry out such a strategy if necessary. so the purchase does not always have to hold for a long time depending on the circumstances at that time, because we can analyze with programs that are indeed widely available and do not need to be afraid to make new breakthroughs, because that action can be an important lesson for further action and in the future.

Not the best strategy but It will be best for those who has no courage in trading alts.
Though "just holding" has it's own corresponding risk, but It has a different level of risk than short trading and other investment strategy.
The best investment strategy in crypto depends on your passion and enthusiasm to engage where your interest comes from. When you don't want to work that much to gain profit, then I can say trading is the best and the very least you can do.

At the end of the day everything depends on your skills and how long are you willing to work to improve them, it is obvious that if you are a good trader and you can outperform the markets that you are going to be capable of earning more money than someone that just hold their coins, but how many people are capable of doing this? This is where the statistic about the 95% of traders being long term losers becomes important.

This is because it is way easier to become a reasonable good investor that earns money by buying and holding their coins for a very long time than it is to become a good trader and not only it is easier it is way faster as well, at least in terms of the time that you need to dedicate to the activity, and when you take that into account then it is obvious why people prefer to become long term holders.

For me its not the best option you can much higher profit trading it in short term trading than holding it for long term and praying that it will soon increase in the price you think its good for you to exit. In short term trading you can earn even daily this is not only In bitcoin buy also on other Altcoins.

Not everyone can do daytrade, not everyone have the time either, it also depend on your size of bag and the exchanges listing the coin. Some big bags cant just sell on some exchanges, so they have to hold and ladder out of the coin. The profitable strategy most times is Hodl, hand it over at OTC with average price for sale, usually this takes time because of the volatility of the space. Trading bitcoin can only give good profit by Hodling unlike the small cap coins

My strategy is mostly holding to tokens particularly the ones that I know will have the potential to 100x. Spot trading is a good option when you know the tokens experience the ups and downs for most of the time.

If you are just trading for USD, you'd best try the margin trading. BTC/USDT is best for it and eventually buy BTC with the earned USD but lke you said not everyone can foresee charts trend.

Actually a very informative medium article but i would say that this is somewhat a little bit advanced for some specially if you do really read it up but for those people who do already had the grasp in trading
will really likely able to get it with no problems.

Buy low and sell high might really be that too very basic strategy but it do really works but to know that there are lots of variations on where this buy and sell should be applied and it all goes or vary
into each trader on how they do deal with volatility with corresponding strategy that they made.

It doesnt matter generally as long you do profit then thats whats important.

Well there are various factors of a successful investment with crypto, first of your target profit let's say 30% or 20%, second is with the coin, is the coin would be volatile enough to pump or dump? is the coin able to give you your target profit? lastly is the time or time range, this is the very vital of the factors that I've said, time will always tell apart from your target and selected coin. let's say to got a target profit with a right coin but you don't know when to sell out or you expected short.

It really depends on what you want to be, if you just want to be an investor, the smartest thing to do is buy and hodl! But if you want to be a market speculator, you must go with the line of least resistance, just like Jesse Livermore did, it all depends on what you really want.

True. Buy and hold might be the most old and basic strategy in trading but if you are comfortable and still making profits from it, then go on. I believe some traders are just too rush and becomes greedy to make more profits in just a short period of time but still end up regretting because they all lose their capital. The result of trading depends on how a single trader manages its own strategies and works on it.

I think buy and hold strategy will only apply to some assets/token, Not everyone can get the way of buying and holding like not every token is suitable for that kind of strategy and just holding it means that you are giving your trust to that certain token. I myself only hold 2 coins and it is Bitcoin and Ethereum because longevity wise I believe that I can profit on both of them. As a trader, I like trading big coins but I ain't holding it for too long because I know I can make better profits in trading them. Each coin has different potentials you just need to find them then learn the strategies and how to execute it.

Let's be frank with ourselves, buy and hold some random stupid tokens won't yield anything even in years. The buy and hold don't actually give the assurance of win to anyone with such mindset. The project will determine if the tokens are Worth holding or not, don't expect to buy rubbish and think hold will perform a magic of profit.

But, buy and  hold will be a good strategy when you buy the right token or coin. There are good defi projects with prospect, buying anyone of them will surely give a good profit on a long-term. I bought some Bandtokens in April early this year to hold which gave me profit.

Everything depends on 2 facts: how much you have spend on crypto and how long you are going to hold. Holding less than half a year is useless. Holding equivalent of less than 100$ is useless. Better spend this hundred on any instant benefit.

Strategy depends on the trading style of the trader. You can't implement the strategy that working for to other people because we have a different way on decision making and choosing the perfect strategy is very subjective. In my case, I try different type of strategy before using small amount of money, I record all my trading data and create different strategy guideline. After many trial and error, I pick the perfect strategy using the data sheet that I gather and scale up my trading on that specific method. Buy and hold is perfect for project that is still new while swing trading is for project that running for a long time. Doing swing trade on new project will just make you FOMO because big news can  messed up on your trading.

There is no best or worst strategy in cryptocurrency and other type of trading. Everything is individual and depends on the situation. Proper timing and research are what matters most. You can spontaneously buy at ATH or during a pump and hold for ages to get at least a cent of profit. Or you might buy second before huge pump and price growth start.

Buy and Hold is no the best, but the most easy strategy. All you need to do is to make a research before buying. If you still lazy, buy bitcoin at any time you want. People say its price will reach $50,000/$100,000/$1,000,000 by the end of 2020/2021/2022/...

It depends always in what crypto we are holding, I'd been holding different bounty rewards token before and it doesn't earn at all some already lose their value. Buy and Hold will depend on the project on upto when we are going to hold them, is there's a chance that they will still grow like developing their products or creating some hype.

I'd learn to trade mostly than to hold since the market is not like what it was when the popularity started there is a need to move to make it works for you than to simply wait for it, if we are too busy, we must only invest in bitcoin not in any other non popular crypto.

Hold is one of the strategies that the trader adopts, which has great merit, provided that a set of its rules are respected, because the extent of storage is linked to the strength of the currency, meaning that there are currencies that are suitable for storage in the short term and are not suitable for storage in the medium and long term. There are currencies that are promoted in your strategy from storing in the short term to storing in the medium and long term, and most traders know that what affects the price of the currency is a set of factors, the most important of which is news and rumors.

Its for people who lack time to do an actual technical trading. Sometime I do this, buyinh and holding. Since I loss a lot last 2weeks, I am stopping doing future trading for now and leverage trading through buying legit altcoin and hold it for a while. I think holding good altcoins eith potential is my target for now.

Crypto is very volatile and if you dont like too much risk then hold top coins and major tokens to be safe at least but this is not guaranteed of course.

I don't think that there is a debate in this area when Trading daily is far different in Holding mate.

Holders tend to Buy and keep the currency because the money they invested here is the amount that can be carry to lose meaning they can even stand to wait for long or Lost eventually because that is what they planed and expect from day 1.

While Traders are those skilled and knowledgeable in Market reading and speculation so they can profit each trade depending to the currency they chose and the luck they have in time needed.

Actually, "buy and hold" is a strategy used for stocks because there are dividends every year.
As this does not exist with cryptocurrency we cannot use this strategy.
Except if you lend your crypto with interests and you withdraw interests.

If you buy and sell every hour, every day or every decade, this is not "buy and hold", this is trading.

Trading is profitable and day trading is more profitable than anything in this world so day trader are supposed to be the richest people of this world but what is the reality? Long term holders are the one making the profits in reality because it is not possible to make money constantly from trading so the net profits at the end of years will not be equals to the profits made from simply holding.

Who told you that "Buy and Hold " is Only for Stocks?mind to explain what can you say for those Who Buy Bitcoin in March when the price falls $4,000 and had sell their coins last week when the price of this coin Reached out $12,300? does Holding is not profitable in this market?
Holding and Buying here in crypto is for responsible and willing to Risk their money.

---

actually there are some traders that still profiting in this market constantly mate,they are those traders that focuses in their trading skills and becomes very knowledgeable now.

"Buy and is a strategy used for stocks" does not mean "buy and hold" is only for stocks.
It means that this strategy is used for stocks.

If you buy at 4 and if you sell at 12.3, this is profitable, for sure.
What I say is this is a trading operation.
Long term trading is not holding.

I think buying and holding strategy is only applicable who has enough money so that if they hold there would be no affect in their daily life. But those who has limited amount of money or coin there must be a problem. In my experience maximum are small amount investors so my suggestion is always for trading.

Yes, trading is not perfect for all those who are newbie there i will say please read and research market more and more so that you will be good trader slowly. Only keep your eyes on update and follow the market. you will be successful.

thanks.

I never thought that Hodl is the best strategy, I only see it as the easiest and that’s what I recommend that most people do, because trading can be difficult, not everybody can do the hard work it takes to predict price movements and some people sucks much in technical analysis, so no.

Day trading or margin trading might be a better option if the trader is really good to the level of being professional that they can predict the prices most of the times, if not, you’re just going to keep losing everyday and before you could realize what’s happening, you have lost more than half the money  you’re trading with. Better to do what’s best for you.

That's right, you need to make your asset move so that it will not just stay like that.

Don't waste the opportunity to make it grow, but of course, you need to deal with those risks in trading.

Buying and holding technique is good which makes you secured and play safe. If you are scared to deal with the possibilities of losing and winning, then just hold. But for me, day trading will probably help you to make it bloom once you are doing your thing, if you are in a good path in your trading journey.

If they are saying like that means they are lying no one can keep making profits from crypto trading constantly, unless they are long term traders where the profit is realistic but not going to match the level of constant earning from day trading...

If you are newbie and do not have much time to research and follow projects, the best option is to hodl.
The truth is that by trading you can make more profit as well as collect more coins if you know what to do.
But you can also lose, so I think the best strategy for a newbie is to buy and hodl.

HODL is a long term investment, certainly one of the best strategies...
buying and HODL your coins are not bad when you don't have the skills, patience, and accuracy to do day trading. don't force yourself to be something you are not good at like being a day trader.

It may not be the best strategy at all, you may find much better strategies in the crypto world, however nobody can deny that it is by far the simplest strategy that will make you a profit. We are talking about just "buy bitcoin and hold", it really doesn't get any simpler than that at all.

Definitely there could be things that can 2x or even 10x profit you compared to regular holding, but you will need to risk a lot more, you need to study and learn a lot more, you need to go up and down a lot more and basically work really really hard for it in order to get it. However in "buy and hold" strategy there is nothing you need to do, you simply just wait around, you can go about with your life and not even worry or check the price neither, just forget the investment for few years.

I totally agree with you mate. Buying and holding  is not the best strategy but surely the simplest one. Even if you are new to the market then also this strategy can provide you with decent returns. You just need to buy at a low or an affordable price and hold until you feel that the price is right to sell.
I think if you are experienced enough, have thorough knowledge of the market, are familiar with the up's and down's and are daring enough then day to day trading can be even more profitable for you than long term investments.

Buy and hold is good for people that have money not for beginners that measure or scales their money before coming out.
A process were by you  buy and hold in your account you will also make a profit,because when such coin raises it will increase in your wallet and when it decreases it will also fall in your account.
And their is hope or evidence that showing that your coin is there, so this is a little difference exist in between buy hold and buy and invest.

It depends on the person's ability whether they have high knowledge and experience about cryptocurrency. If so, chances are buy and
hold is not the best strategy in crypto, because buy and hold is perfect for newbies who have low knowledge of crypto. If we are professional
traders the best strategy in my opinion is scalping by taking profit almost every day with a small percentage.

People who can't afford to trade will quite to use this old and easy strategy but its working. The lesser work, the lesser risk also.
If this will suites to you and this is only a thing you can afford off because you don't have enough time to trade, you better make a try. But somehow, not all holders have the patience that it makes a way that it never works for them. Trading, holding, and any form of investment will require this thing (patience) but very unfortunate that only a few have got this. Some quit and leave crypto, some did stay and changed their mindset.

It is you who can decide what strategy you applied, why not stick in simple buying and selling strategy if that is only you've got? It is very important to have in your comfort zone that pushing yourself.

Both of them have each own risk, I can't differentiate between of them are profitable. But I just thinking that you can choose them with depend on your style. You can choose hold, if you are the someone who didn't have much knowledge against technical analyst but you are good to analyst the fundamental factor. Maybe you don't need to make an analyst per day if you choose being a holder.

But, if you are the same who has good in technical analyst and you are not bored to make an analyst everyday then you can choose being a trader. Also it is depend on the coin that you choose as well, I still believe if bitcoin is safe for long term holding and for day trading but I don't know if you choose some altcoin out there especially new altcoin.

For people who didn't have expertise on daily trade like me , buy and hold is the best strategy in crypto space.
Because, if common people can not doing daily trade it will ended by liquid.

You have a point. Buying and holding is the best strategy for people who lack experience or are afraid to take a risk in cryptocurrency because it could still give a long-term profits. But if you are okay with the crypto market's risk and volatility, and willing to use most of your time to make an active or daily trade, it could work.

It is if you are not an experienced trader able to put aside emotions.
Market is extremely volatile so you need nerves to take profits in the green (sell the greed) and enter in the red (buy the fear), besides knowing when to just be cashed out, waiting for opportunities.

While day trading require less need to understand the fundamentals (deep understanding of the project), going through the details is required for long term hodling.
Many projects are solid and just need to be develop further to shine.

Day traders will rely more on technical analysis (charting) and instant signals (on-chain data, news, social media activity etc...)

i dont consider those as a strategy but those are only basic or must do movements for someone that is involved on here  . a strategy to me means much more deeper than that like when creating an analysis or charts and alike  . most popular phrase on trading isnt all about loosing but its more of a profit. they say that trading is the most profitable among all activities on crypto  . that must be true because many people are pushing it  . there are bad approach on trading but this doesnt mean that all kinds of trading are now bad after that .

First you organize your capital, bankroll, call it however you like! It's before everything, you need to know what you have! It's foolish to think how traders trade with their entire capital, all in strategy is not a good strategy. When you have capital/bankroll, you need to learn how to manage it. Each of us holds crypto for long, has a wallet for that purpose. You trade to make more coins or to make more cash, and what you are going to do with your profit? Smart thing is to put something on a side coins or cash, it's up to you, and you hold it, and the part of the profit you can return to trading. Point is you hold and you trade with some part of your holding, you never risk all you have.

That is the basic and we should have to learn it before digging for another strategy that will work so great.
Honestly, people don't get mind if that is a genuine, old fashioned strategy or whatever it is, what most important is that they are making money from it and being comfortable of what they do.

Trading won't work that so well at first, patience is very important but somehow it didn't work for them. That is why a lot of people had tried to become a trader but after being disappointed and being hopeless, they all gone.

I would say that it should be the best if you ask me, I am sure that there could be some so called better strategies but all the other ones are definitely a way of just getting lucky, if you do anything but just "buy and hold" you are basically throwing in your risk out there and you are trying to get lucky, if you are lucky you could make more money and if you are not lucky you could end up losing money, but there is no way that there is an inherently better way to do it right now, all other ones are definitely just pure based on luck methods and I would rather not let luck decide on my investments.

Look at all those wall street people, they are not just guessing, they have a strict way of doing business and they are definitely sticking to it most of the time.

The answer is subjective when it comes to finding out what is the best strategy in order to make gains in cryptocurrencies. You are the only one who can find it by investing in your knowledge. For me holding is not always effective, I saw that many traders and investors have wrong perspective in holding when they think that they can make money if they will hold it even the market is against to them. Holding is good but make sure that the coin that you are going to hold is in uptrend. Holding in uptrend or what the expert called is "trend following" which means that you will hold a certain cryptocurrencies until its trend will snap or until it gives a signal that it is now transitioning in a bearish market.

Always remember that not all of the people who are holding are making money so do not treat it as a holy grail strategy wherein you will guarantee that you will earn profit from it. Buying and holding is not all about patience it requires some criteria to be follow strictly in order to make consistent gains in the market. If I will do a trend following, I make sure that there is enough volume where the liquidity is strong and I can exit or entry easily.

Buy and hodl strat isn't applicable to all coins that you are seeing on the market. You should not do it all the time :), it will depepnd on the coin you bought (or you are planning to buy).
Don't hold shitcoins because they do not have enough foundation to be strong in the market. They are shits in the first place. No function. These shitcoins will lose their value in no time.
On the otherhand, strong crypto, such as bitcoin, of course are worth to hold. Buy it in a much lower price then you'll get your profit after months.

People do have that common line of "HODL" but this one can really be only applied on best coins in the market but we know that even bitcoin doesnt have an assurance to last forever.
So take it on your own risk if you do really hold until in the end of line.Of course we do have specific price on where we do sell out but to think that there are other better ways to make gains  
without waiting for that long and thats the way of doing active trades.Yes, it might  be more riskier but really be worth of your time and effort if you do make it right.Not all would have
the skills though yet this is the hardest part on doing trading where you do deal with the market on very active state.

When it comes to trading it usually depends on knowledge and skills. It is possible to make a profit if you have a good idea about trade. those who are new to the crypto market, if they do not have much idea about the trade then they can make some profit by holding on. The risk is much lower here it is very difficult to determine the strategy for trading. I think it is much easier to determine the strategy by analyzing the best currencies in the crypto market.

Always before investing in crypto set the short, medium and long-term target and accordingly invest in it. So that you would be able to make profits even on rise in short terms and long terms investment will do good over the period. Invest in best coins to maximise profits and if luck is good you may make quick profits as well. So, holding does make lot of sense at times.

Actually price is depending on these methods. People can pump the price by holding and can dump by selling. So, we should take more care about buy, sell and hold.

This is  why its subjective and depend on a certain trader or investor on how they do deal up into their holdings.Some do prefer on selling when in gains and buyback when it
do plummet down to accumulate while its still cheap compared to those people who do just bought and dont care on what would be the price later on since they are aiming for
future years to come.Selling off on the right time does really need some serious consideration and this is where people do differ where someone do love to see profits
in a shorter timeframe and some are just too scared to deal up with price on active manner.

the decision of when to sell or hold depends on what is happening to the coin. the trader should not stop following the development updates of the coins he's holding. because remember when they stopped giving updates, you know that they are heading to go down. and that needs strategy when to exit that game. because if not, you will end up holding trash coins.

Buy and hold can be the best strategy, but it can also be the worst strategy that will hurt you.

You have to really do your research for the coins to buy and hold. The top 20 coins on CMC might be a good choice.

You have to target what the price is for each coin held.

You can also increase your profit by doing day trading and many other strategies.

I think buy and hold is not only the best strategy in crypto, it is the safest strategy I have used while trading.
Buy and hold strategies can even be done by newbies who don't have any trading knowledge, this is the least
risky strategy. We only need patience when implementing a buy and hold strategy.

Buy and hold is the best strategy but it depends on your patience, if you dont have patience the buy and hold strategy is nothing, without patience you will never earn in crypto if your strategy is something like buying and waiting for the best price to sell.

I tried it but I think it is not applicable to me. Buying and Holding coins seem to be boring. This is the reason why I think we should have coins for long term and short term. I know that most of traders who have long term coin are millionaire already. They are hodling coins for a year to 3 years because they can sustain their trading in daily basis.

This is what I am saying about those people that recommend holding to other people.

I know that it is a good strategy for those people that are still not used to the market but always remember that the price of these cryptocurrencies is so volatile that is why we should all be aware of these changes. It is easy to look in the market and tell that it is a good time to sell to get some profit you can use to reinvest or trade to other cryptos. You will really regret it if you just hold it and come back at a certain time knowing it did pump in certain times.

Buying and hold is  an risky work when you buy and hold it for how many days/months/years.For hold crypto need experience.

In my perspective, any distinctive procedure should not be called the best. Because frivolity is stable on this platform so always be cautious. I just bought it and hold, but this is not the best strategy. If you work in diverse ways at different times, it can be profitable. It is problematic to say that the profit will be only if you go ahead in one direction.

Maybe a strategy will be good if seeing at the market situation.
In my experience, when market conditions are very active day trading is possible and gets a profit, but when the market is sluggish (usually occurs when BTC is in a downtrend, which greatly affects the altcoins market) day trade is very it is difficult to do and I would prefer to choose 1-3 coins for me to buy and hold for 3 - 6 months can less or more depend on my profit target.

Do you believe that day traders or those whom trade daily do lose 95% of either by chance or their profit? Hell no! Trading in general depends on the strategy of the trader. Some trader are onto daily analysis and trading, in which a little movement and change to the price matters, yet depends on their reading if their prediction and analysis was right. Yes some of day traders often lose, but not those professionals, as experiencing loses tends to make you learn. Meanwhile, there are long term traders in which they hold their investment for years and withdraw it the time they wanted to, and not all cases of such investments ends up winning, some long term trades ends up losing as well if the crypto or an altcoin's price were dumped.

Not really the best strategy but it's always worth using this, HODLING for me is not hodling for many months and years hodling is letting the project takes off and then letting it go at the right time , not dumping everything you've got but a portion of it so you can sell more on the next exit.

Maybe for some point buy and hold strategy works and think that it is the best strategy in the crypto industry. But remember there are also lots of strategies other than that and being termed or coined as the best strategy specifically varies depending upon the trader himself because strategies are calculated and made out depending upon the situation and make analytic and logical calculations to make out possible positive outcome to be produced. Surely there are also other relevant and essential strategies that we traders have been using on our trades and buy and hold strategy is just one of those. I am not saying it is not good. It is just that it is not right to coin it as the best strategy for there are also other effective strategies which can be used depending on the situation and it varies on the perception of the trader himself to manipulate such strategies to create his own since strategies are made out of trial and errors to see if it will fit to be a solution on the current situation.

The best strategy in crypto it will depend on our skills and qualifications. If we can analyze the market properly then we can learn trading techniques and choose the best currency by verifying the currency and make a profit in retention. This requires patience hard work and planning. Bitcoin is a very good currency to hold but it will have to wait a long time. Patience as well as controlling one's emotions one has to think positively.

Looking at the graph you shown Buy and Hold might be not good as much as you think of. I wouldn't say that it is the best strategy either because there are still risk along with it.
However, only one thing I can sure of, it depends on the coins you were trading of whether Buy and Hold will work in your favor or not.
Basically, there are tokens that are much better for day trading and the same goes for Buy and Hold thus you should fit your strategies on the coins you are working on.

From personal experience, in a short two weeks time frame I'll still say hodling is more profitable then trading. So I have been trading to take some profit from new listing on Binance, so far I have recorded more success than failure since what I find myself doing is day trading. Some trades are minutes long while others hours but I haven't gone above 24hours.

When I compare my total profits to that of coins I bought but sold later on, assuming I held on those coins I would had made more profits then what I currently have in total. Some projects rose as high as 200% after I sold them for barley 10-30% profits. There's no risk associated with holding, if you actually know what you're doing.

Is there really a best strategy to employ to gain from bitcoin? Trading and hodling both have their advantages and disadvantages. It is only a matter of whether you're skilled enough to venture into trading as that is more risky than merely buying and holding.
However, it should be noted that buying and hodling bitcoin does not necessarily mean one is scared or running away from trading. Many simply buy and hodl because it's a long term investment in a way and trading is more or less a short term investment.

It's my only opinion. All I can say is it depends on your strength in trading. Long term or Short term trading is profitable. Some of my friends on social media know-how to day trade and some of them didn't gain a profit in day trade so whatever trade it is, it depends on the traders forte. 

I would say that long term investments have a lot less risk compared to short term ones, they also generally come up with a lot more steady profit as well if you can wait that long, however it is also one of the hardest things to do. Think about it, you invest 10k and get 1 bitcoin back in the day, you see it going to 5k and half of your money gone, and you have to wait 7 months for it to go back above 10k once again and when it does it goes back down again and up again and eventually hits 12k giving you 20% return which is not bad but you just waited 18 months of your time for 20% return with probably at least a year of your life gone from all the stress it caused.

I would say if you want to, have "unimportant" investments, and one safe fiat regular savings account. That way you wouldn't be upset.

That's extremely right, less risk in holding long term but I guess low of profit earning compared to day trading which high risk.

This is basic strategy, buy low and sell when it comes the price becomes high. You can also hold for a long term and forgot your bitcoin in a year but of course not the key and should store in a safe wallet.

This depends on you if you are willing to risk high that potential also to have high profit, is your call. But if you want the safest way like you have a pension in the future then, holding is the best for you.

It depends on your capacity and plan investing in this crypto market.

If you are Here to make foods for your table then You need to make at least Day Trading

But this is the Most risky way of looking for profit here because this needs skills and Knowledge before you can win the Price.

Next is Holding or most popular called HODL In this you need to Keep the currency you Bought for maybe year or more?depend on what is the performance of your coins and depend on Your target price.

It is not the best but it is preferable to use especially for those who are not yet used to trade actively. Day trading wherein you will use multi time frame chart is risky especially if you do not have knowledge and experience on it. Holding is a strategy is applicable to all but it requires a lot of patience and also proper risk management. A patience wherein you can able to wait especially if the price is now making a move wherein it keeps breaking out in many resistance. I would only prefer to do day trading if a certain trader have now experiences and also have a lot of strategies that they can use in order to make gains in the market.

We can't say anything would be a best strategy until we can predict the market accurately continuously which is not possible in crypto.
Buying and holding might sound since bitcoin is increasing rapidly every year but as time goes it might not be the same.
What if the yearly price of bitcoin stays the same while the volatility is increased. In this case swing trading would be best rather than holding.
So it completely depends on how bitcoin is performing in the market.

For me, buying and holding is the best for me, and that’s simply because it’s what I can do best. Some of us are not a professional traders, so we see HODL as the best way for us to make money from the market, same way that expert day traders would say it’s the best.

So, people should be doing what works for them the most, if you try to do the other you will be regretting at last. I have seen people who are very good at trading to the extent they even make it their main job. What I like about Hodl is that there is not much work to do, you just study the market, invest your money and then wait while you also look for other things to do. So it’s quit simple.

I don’t think those people are actually saying that Hodl is better than trading, for me what they are trying to do is let newbies with no experience to know the better option for them. Literally everyone wants to be a trader, and the majority of them fails, especially the newbies.

There are professional traders who are making money from trading and I have seen a lot of them who even say that they rely only on day trading as their main job to make a living, so that means a lot of money can come from it compared to Hodl where you will have to wait for a long time before the price of a coin goes up. But trading is not meant for everyone, and Hodl is the easiest anyone can do, so it’s best to go for that if you are not a good trader.

We can't say that every traders loses money. There are still a lot of traders who are generating good money daily. If you are unaware of trading, don't involve in it. First, you should learn about trading very well then you can start it otherwise Buy and hold strategy is good for you.

Hodl would be an option if you arent really sure on what you are doing but also pro's does have some coins into their stash which are really meant to be hold for long term and doesnt really need to actively make trades with it.Of course trading actively is much more better if we do talk about profit making yet its incomparable when you do just simply let your coins sit and wait for a bull run which wont really happen from time to time or simply
does take really too long before you can able to make a move unlike when you do actively trade which you can possibly make out money or profits without needing to wait for that long but as mentioned where
this kind of trading wont be easy and not all wouldnt really be having a success on dealing with this anytime.It takes patience, experience and skills for you to succeed or to sustain.

Well, you are right. Because they are perhaps willing to risk their money. I can say trading is a need for skills and of course strategy just to work out and gain profit. Even how expert you are, there is a big chance that you will lose in the race of trading because I consider this trading is a competition. When there is a winner, there should be a loser. I would say, holding is the best way and the less risk upon crypto investment, --if you dont have the ability to trade, this is the best and suitable for you. Indeed, this will matter upon your passion for crypto, we can't generalize all crypto enthusiasts.

Then how these people will experience doing day trades if they only do hold. They should get out of that room and start building experience.

The better advice should be, while holding, slowly involved, and practice doing trades to build experience. Their experience will teach them to build numerous strategies that will help them to make good decisions amid several difficulties they will face in the process.

Either holding or actively doing trading, the effectiveness of our strategy depends on how we handle and managed it.

Buying and holding bitcoin is the best strategy IMO, but I don't think the same is true for the vast majority of altcoins.  Therefore for crypto trading in general, buy-and-hold might not work out for you if you're holding some awful shitcoins or tokens that have been overhyped.  With those cryptos, I think short-term trading might give you the best chance of making a profit--but it's still risky as hell, particularly if what you're trading has low market liquidity and/or extreme volatility. 

Bitcoin is still the most popular cryptocurrency out there by far, and if you think it's going to have any utility as a currency then it has to significantly grow in price if it's going to be used by a lot of people.  And if you're bullish on bitcoin, I think you'd probably end up losing money if you're just trading in and out for cash.  Lots of people get lucky and time the market correctly....but most don't.

That's probably true, and I wouldn't ignore those words altogether.  The market has a way of wiping out both experienced and inexperienced traders.

Not necessarily a strategy in my opinion, for me buying and holding is just a way of safekeeping your money to combat inflation of the fiat that you want to convert. Strategy for me yields you profits that can help you along the way and not help you when the time comes.

This is something that many traders are simply unable to understand, the strategy of buying and holding can be really effective but only for assets that you know are going to be here for the long term and except for a handful of coins like bitcoin and ethereum the rest of the coins in the market are not optimal to perform that strategy.

And this is because it is known the majority of the coins disappear after being in the market for one year and each day tens of coins are released all promising the same thing, to become successful, to bring profits to everyone and to remain in the market for a long time, and most coins are unable to fulfil a single one of their promises, so when thinking on applying the buy and hold strategy we need to always have in mind the thought of never investing using this strategy unless we are completely sure the coin can remain in the market for years and the developers are dedicated enough to keep improving the code until they reach their goals.

HODLing is the best strategy for the majority of people who are not savvy in trading and do not posses the time to trade properly - implicitly learning TA or QA, finding a working strategy and then implementing it.

As many people in this thread said there is no strategy suitable for everyone. There is no one size fits all strat and there are an infinite number of ways you can extract money from the market.

Buy and hold is great when the market is a dump, but it is not a good strategy in volatile markets. In some cases in low volatility markets this strategy has minimal risk and is a good thing to do, such as the top market. For me, every condition in the crypto market has its own strategy, I mean here that one strategy is not suitable for use in many conditions. I appreciate every thread that is done based on research.

There are veterans of trading and they will tell you that the amount of profit you can make from regular day trading is not even remotely close to what you can make from just buying and holding. Don't get me wrong the fact that buying and holding is profitable is true, people could make money that way and I would say it is quite the investment if you really want to do it, and nobody could argue that people wouldn't be able to make a profit.

However just because one thing is profitable doesn't mean that other one is not making profit, sure a newbie doing day trading will end up losing and someone who insists on not learning and just doing it how they want to will end up losing as well, but someone who really knows what they are doing will make ten times more than the person who buys and holds.

So true. For smart traders volatile markets is good option to gain some quick profit. Others gotta buy it, and not look at it for over a year or more. So, someone going to be for profit, the other is going to be HOLD until Moon or Bust. However, I respect both perspective.

Truly right to buy and keep it, buy on bottom and release it while its high on top, for me it is work on major coin like BTC and ETH, and not working properly on alts because alts is not predictable.
This strategy buy hold and release is safer than you play on futures trading, you can still have it on spot trading even the price goes down to bottom, but if you are on futures, you will loose all of yours when you are wrong to put your move.
For expert, futures may be the solution to daily income from trading, but its not working for me, im not expert, im still learning.

The power of trading comes from compound interest, even if you were only able to earn roughly 10% per month if you can do this regularly then at the end of a few years you will multiply your coins many times over and that is where trading shows its power over holding your coins.

During that time frame a person that just holds his coins could earn fiat but the number of coins that he's holding will remain flat and will not increase but with trading you have the option of the number of coins that you are holding to grow significantly during that same amount of time which will obviously multiply your profits in fiat as well but as we know trading is very hard and only a few can earn money with the activity which makes holding such a good option for the rest of the investors in this market.

Every strategy will depend on the person, There are people who aren't good at trading so the most efficient choice is just to hold their tokens and wait for the token value to rise. On the other hand, If a certain person has the skills that can accumulate profit in trading the person would certainly do trading for him to earn much more profit. Trading can give you more profit because you are working for it, Doing some analyzation while holding is just letting your token sit on your wallet and you are just checking the asset price regularly. If we are talking about the time I think the person who daily trades will get profit more than the holder because the profit of it is just pilling up and using it to deliver more profit in the trader's portfolio.

Both trading and holding are profitable if you do it right it's just trading is where you can earn more but put a lot of work on it and holding is earning less but gaining profit slow and small.

I believe that everything depends primarily on the skills and experience of a person, since not everyone will be able to make a permanent profit from trading and therefore chooses, at best, investments for a certain period. I am very much afraid of losses from trade transactions and therefore I most often buy and store coins until the next price hike.

This is best strategy when you hold something legit and good project. In this case I can only trust btc and eth. If you holding anything else then it's a big risk. In btc and eth also have risk like eth is came from 480 to 380 which is bad for traders and bad impact on market.

It's really a cool strategy for long term holders. I think it is profitable, warren buffet is the father of buy and hold and for me, it is still applicable until now. If you invest in BTC 5 years ago. Then you will be a millionaire already.

If you don't know what you are doing and are too lazy to invest time and effort, than hodl is by far the best that outperforms others in the long term (talking about bitcoin here). I've learned my lesson few years ago and realised that I'm not cut for the trading game, so now I just hodl what I have.

With that being said, there are people out there that invested a lot of time ( and lost money during learning process), educated themselves and are making nice living out of trading, but those are far rarer than you might think. So for an average Joe, hodl is the way to go go.

You could diversify that holdings more if you can.

Bitcoin and Ethereum is not just the best project in the market. I know that you just trust that two but if you really wanted to give yourself a high possiblity of earning more, you could try investing on other coins as well. Another thing is that not all drops are that bad, the price is been at its green for a while and this really happens in this market. If you ask me, this is the best time to reinvest.

Buy and hold might not work for crypto as in crypto is much much more volatile than our stock or Fiat market is. I've been new to stock market and invested in some stocks and from what I've observed, the longer you stay invested, the more profit you will be able to make on stocks. But for crypto, the added volatility makes it much more complex.

Since trading is important in trading when to buy and when to sell are very important especially when you prepare yourself to conduct a trade. Not just trading between buying and selling trading in cryptocurrency means concluding all sorts of reviews. Because you can be a loser if you try to do something wrong on one side so you have to be careful.

Buy and hodl is much applicable to cryptocurrencies trading and might not work in forex trading and other trading where according to statistic almost 95% lose their money whereas crypto trading had become a safe haven or better alternative even for inexperienced or newbie trader to make profit by just following the simple rule of buying low and selling high although this also requires some little knowledge however its much more better than the other trading that requires vast knowledge in Technical and Fundamental analysis and the trader must be well groomed by a mentor in other to be profitable in a long run.

To avoid risk in every job, you have to work carefully the crypto market is not stable and the number of scammers is much higher here. Crypto market risks are higher than other sites in order to trade in crypto one has to study the exchange sites and be careful as well as know the basic knowledge. It is not possible to learn trading techniques without adequate knowledge.

This is what I think as well, people always wonder what it is the best option between trading and investing not realizing the best strategy is something completely dependent on the person, skills and personality, investing is easier, most of your work will be done at the beginning stages when you are deciding if it is a good idea to invest in a project and once you do the only thing you need to do is to hold your coins.

In contrast trading requires a massive amount of knowledge to be applied at all times with surgical precision, it is way more demanding but it can be entertaining as well if you like the action of the markets, however this also means it is harder but it can bring even greater profits.

It does really have that pros and cons between the two and as said this will surely vary on someones capacity and knowledge and at least we do have options to take.If we cant just handle out market volatility
or doesnt like to engage with moving prices then holding would be your best option but as expected, profits would really be lesser compared to those people who do engage with daily trading.
It sounds easy but really hard to be done thats why majority do choses up to hold instead but sooner or later they might be switching up depending if they do already gain that sufficient knowledge needed.
Holding is one of the strategies though but it does really have some several cons or disadvantages.

Buying and hold is not the main basis for us to say that we could earn well in the future.
Always, remember that before buying coins in any of the exchange sites platforms, make sure to yourself
that you know the coins you are choosing it so that in the end you won't regret it.

It's not the best strategy but it works for investors, not every holders or investors have the time to follow the price or allocate time in day trading, but once they got the coins they have the option to HODL it long time or shift to day trading if they decided that they want to do day trading, as long as the market is promising the options are open.

we have a lot of crypto currency in the market already those buy and hold strategy will not really work right now. You can still do that but only in top crypto currency not all crypto is good to buy and more of them will turn to be scam so you should be very careful choosing what crypto currency to hold.

My suggestion is better to do the day trading than holding. there are many videos tutorial that you can watch and read  to learn in technical  analysis.

Lol Buy and Hold strategies are only used by Long-Term traders whom doesn't bother themselves in reading the candles and charts of a a certain stock/currency/crypto. Yes, daily traders loses their money because of a failed prediction and reading, but trust me, it is normal. Every trader knows that there are always risk of losing, even trading is just a mere gambling where you test your intellect and luck which most of the time is just losing. And it is a part, a risk management, and not a huge deal to traders.

Therefore, Buy and Hold often effective if and only  if an investor trusts a starting or innovating project/company, which somehow is also a 50:50 chance whether such holdings would rise as expected or would be dumped.

Yes, buy and hold is AMONG the best trading strategies because you'll exactly how much in % you are going to earn if bullish starts. I said buying and hold is among the best because it's still risky than other trading methods. There is peer to peer which has 10% compared to buy and hold when you chose the wrong coin to hold. Also, arbitrage has less risk if you will find the right exchange to trade.

It's also depend on the project that what are you holding it and what price. For long term holding I can't trust shit coin. Top 10 or top 50 crypto could be hold for long term but before going for long term you have to have wait for dip. For me usually when market is in dump condition you can take entry and and sold at high. Sometimes holding one months give you a good return and turn your capital 2x. So in this condition you can booked your profit and find other opportunity.

Not really the best strategy, but if you have a strong belief in the coin that you are holding and you do not have time to check the market it will work for you, but you are going to miss profits from the market volatility, there's always profit to make in a highly volatile market but it takes time, effort and patience to do that, 

Only Buy and Hold is not main Strategy in Crypto i think involved a lot of think market analysis, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, fund management thinking and also need to be follow the current market situation and follow the current trend, crypto is easy for few moment but analysis is hard find out to accurate result.

In fact, hold and trade are two different schools and it depends on the personality of the person. like me, I tried trading for 8 months and only failed continuously and I burned about 5 accounts. After that I got discouraged and switched to being a holder and now I've got my money back that I was losing money, and I'm not under the pressure and do more. When trading, we will be very pressured and it seems our mind is only focused on trading all day, it does not suit me. In general, the holder or trader is good, but the player must understand who he is in order to come up with the best strategies.

Different cryptocurrency that you had chosen to trade means you might have different strategy to use. It's good to hodl cryptocurrencies that has a great future ahead, an asset where you think lots of people will adopt. On the otherside, it's not good to buy and hodl coins that doesn't have any purpose.

Yes, here is the point about potential coin. There are a lot of coins in crypto market and all are not potential. Some coins will be dead and it is really foolish strategy to hold dead coin for future.

It’s not like it’s the best strategy, but it is more recommendable to those who are still new to trading cryptocurrency, since day-trading is difficult for a starter to understand. So, for a starter? Hodl is definitely the best strategy for them to go with, they would just invest their money and they wouldn’t have stress about doing any other thing, all they will have to do is just have patience and that’s it.

If you’re going to tell people to go for day-trading when they have no clue as to how they are going to do technical analysis and all those works to predict what action to take, it’s not going to work out for them and they will keep on losing, and from my experience, those of them that tries trade without understanding are just gambling with choices.

I think HODL is position trading, you’re holding a position for a long time to make profit and then you sell your position. They are all trading, but in different types. When they say 95% of traders, they don’t only mean day traders, they are referring to every trader, even those who Hodl can lose money.

Take a look back at the 2017 bull run, there were people who got profit from HODL’ing their BTC or any other coin that increased in price, and there are also those who lost their money as the market started to plummet. That’s just how it is, they are all different types of trading and anyone can lose, while some are making profit.

There are different groups of people here and each will paint you a different image.

Successful traders will tell you that they did all of it because of their skill and if you think holding is better than trading you're just bad at trading. Tone Vays likes to say similar things.
Unsuccessful traders will tell you trading sucks and you cannot predict moves well enough to come on top. Market is manipulated so you can win or lose even if you are great at TA.
Successful holders will tell you to hold because they made so much money holding that trading is unnecessary risk.

It's your choice what you decide to do.

For users who have good earning to meet their daily needs, and looking for a long term investment or a pension fund can prefer buying and holding. For common users who look for an earning out of cryptocurrencies to make living better should prioritise earning through it. It can be of trading, selling services and skills, and on different possible ways.

I suggest to go for regular trading at some time interval. Along with it try to spend specific amount regularly on buying different cryptocurrencies. This is far better than just buying and holding long.

Exactly, buy and hold can be good enough for two kind of people, those that are new to the market and have yet to get used to the volatility of this market and that are still in a process to learn how to deal with it, the other is the investor that has a significant amount of money to invest and does not have the time to look at the charts every single day, which is ironic because this strategy can be the best for the most inexperienced and the most experienced at the same time.

But once you learn more about this market and how it moves you have the chance to try to trade the markets and make money with them however this requires really advanced knowledge and it is not recommend for those that do not have control over their emotions or do not have money management skills.

This is what others thinking if buying and holding is the best strategy in crypto. When you invest in crypto of buying and hold it can reduce risks rather than day to day trading. We have our own strategy on how to earn when trading crypto. In my own opinion, the best strategy you can do is buying on a low price and selling on a pump stage. Though for holding long term it can reduce transactions cost which is also a good option.

For me, it's a buy and hold any time, any day.
I've been into crypto trading before and what I can tell you is that sometime, one still end up buying and holding in other to avert huge losses, there are crypto coins which I used to trade back then which I can't afford to trade anymore cus their prices have skyrocketed, if I had bought them and keep, I would be very rich now, I've learnt from my past mistakes

Always depend on you capacity and also your plans.

Crypto investing has so many grounds to evaluate before finally putting your money.

- Holding - This is for those who has Budget that can be spent or can be risk,as the amount is a spare money or just an extra.

- Day Trading- This is for those who have knowledge and strong dedication to risk in short time the money inside crypto.

This should really be the answer to the OP's question, buying and holding can be much easier but for someone who already know lots of things in trading can see day trading and buy and hold strategy as likely the same but just what you have said always depend on your capability and also the dedication and effort you are going to put in your trading.

It is precisely because of what you are saying that it is important to define as quickly as possible what kind of strategy we are going to follow, if we are going to become traders then that is fine but then we need to learn as much as we can about it and then use those techniques to increase our capital day to day.

However if we have chosen to use the classic buy and hold strategy then we need to select good coins that are undervalued and then keep holding those coins no matter what, it is not easy especially if you happen to have the bad luck to invest and then we have a bear market but if you are completely sure in your coin selection it should not take you long for you to eventually recover your money.

The difference is that cryptocurrency market can be difficult to know how it is handled or operate. The factors that operate the market is not very clear for everybody. This is why some can be scared to do daily trading with it to avoid what they think is the greater risk, losing in trade. But you can lose while hodling your coin

I agree. There is no really best nor perfect strategy to be stated for the market behaviour is undeniably unpredictable so strategies of the trader differ depending upon the situation based on the analysis he would have upon looking the price chart and think of the best way possible on how he could turn things out on his side. Also, strategies are commonly being done by the trader himself so basically there are lots of strategies that are possible to make use so there is no proper declaration or claiming of which is the best strategy to begin with. All are dependent on the trader himself on how he would act upon the situation on doing strategy if he have so much time to deal with it. Buy and hold strategy is one of the most commonly  used by traders who is quick by chance do not have that much time to think of another way to do his trades.

Its up to what you believe.

Holding 10BTC up to 10 years and you will realize that you still have 10BTC, while if you try something else like staking or trading is another strategy. It could be the best option to go because your 10BTC could be at least 11 in the next month or years. Its your choice but I wouldn't be sleeping thinking BTC will do his way up.

It depends, some people can apply both if they are knowledgeable enough about market movements and some people are already comfortable with their desired strategy. Not all people can do day trading but holding could be preferred by most if they wanted to escape the daily price fluctuations in the market.

This is the main advantage of trading, if you have 10 BTC and you hold them then you still have 10 BTC regardless of the time you decided to hold those coins, but if you decide to trade you can multiply your bitcoin and if at the same time we take into account the natural growth BTC goes through the years then you could multiply your profits even further.

But at the same time we need to be fair, trading is really hard and only a small portion of traders earn any money while when it comes to holding as long as you are willing to hold your BTC for the long term your profits are almost guaranteed.

History repeats itself. Probably the same can apply with bitcoin.  ::) Hold is always one of the best option.
I am not sure if the same apply also for all crypto/tokens/altcoin.
Just few coins launched after 2017 reached a decent ROI (the vast majority launched with an ICO are strongly devaluated). Meanwhile the price of bitcoin and some major coins continue to growth or to be the same. This is an important aspect to be taken in consideration.
Most of altcoins are just created for pump and dump operation. I will never suggest an "hold" for the long term.

^ Nah, altcoins and tokens are different in Bitcoin and I think they will not repeat itself, not just like bitcoin that obviously and proven by determining on the chart of the price. But you are definitely right upon holding and this is what commonly people do that don't risk in trading. We know already the potential of bitcoin in gaining profit in long period of time upon holding. Holding is the best option because the demand was on progress and as we can see many countries now adopting bitcoin. Nevertheless, if your skills is enough to do trading, just try to hint with the amount that you can afford to lose.

I believe that this strategy was very suitable in cryptocurrency but the development or the grow up of your capital was based on your knowledge and experience on how to deal with your token, just like playing gambling you will win if you play your game wisely but same as gambling also here in crypto you can't say that you will always win. There's also some strategies that you can use like day trading but of course you also have to dealt with a market, how could you manage to follow your strategies while the market is fluctuating daily.

You may only apply the strategy of selling your token on a pump stage or selling it on a dump stage if you're checking the market from time to time. For me i'm getting suck of seing those fluctuating of values of token upon checking the market daily. For me hodling and trading was best if you know already that your token is worth to be sold about or hodling if you think the value was not worth it, just be a keen observer on the market and play it well.

Buy and hold is not the best trading strategy in crypto. Because this strategy usually takes a relatively long time to generate profits.
But buy and hold is the safest strategy to use, especially for newbies who don't have good analytical skills. using a buy and hold
strategy is the right choice.

The majority of people enter the cryptocurrency market with the desire to make a profit.
The really talented people will choose the daily trading method, which can bring investors big profits but also bring many risks.
Some investors who are not good at daily trading choose to buy and hold. I think buying and holding is not the best strategy in the cryptocurrency market, however it is the one that suits most people the most.

It depends always in what crypto we are holding, I'd been holding different bounty rewards token before and it doesn't earn at all some already lose their value. Buy and Hold will depend on the project on upto when we are going to hold them, is there's a chance that they will still grow like developing their products or creating some hype.

I'd learn to trade mostly than to hold since the market is not like what it was when the popularity started there is a need to move to make it works for you than to simply wait for it, if we are too busy, we must only invest in bitcoin not in any other non popular crypto.

TBH, this is a basic strategy that most are doing-especially for beginners and even well-experienced traders. People who come in crypto for investment alone and not able to trade, this is the best thing to do. In fact, I did this as well and it really works but of course, it is a need also to check the market flows because not all the time we just keep holding. Seeing a 2-3% price incline, I sell my crypto right away...it was enough for me but not sure of you.

To get big profit from any project buy and holding is really the best strategy. If you want short profit then daily trading can be done. It is looking very simple but to gain a huge ammount select a good project and invest big money. In any project you looking to hold buying point is very important. Any good project has been dump hardly then this should be a buy point without fear and then hold to 6 months  to 1 year to get big boom profit. if you look btc, Eth price recently both hard dump price almost grown up to 5x now.

If you are not relying in crypto trading as a bread and butter then yeah this is the best and real strategy to use,it is called "HODL" by some prominent people here.

actually basically i also do this but with limited numbers and Volume of coins.

day trading is not for all of us thats what we need to understand.

many tried but not all succeed,actually many fails than profit.

The way volatility is going in the crypto market you can say buy and hold is a good option. But their are something to understand that don't buy at high because and what are you going to hold it have proper research it. Because if you buy shit and hold it you can loose everything and also if you buy at high still your capital stuck. So always take entry in dip.

Would you consider now to be a dip?

You shouldn't buy low-rated riptocurrencies for long-term storage. It is best to invest in the top rated cryptocurrencies and after a while it will bring you a really very good profit. But in order to feel more comfortable, you need to have other sources of income, so that investment in cryptocurrency does not put much pressure on you and does not cause panic during a fall or strong fluctuation in the cryptocurrency market.

What you are saying shows why the term best is relative, if your aim is to generate the maximum amount of profits that is possible then holding your coins is not the best strategy as it takes a long time to materialize its results, however if you are looking for the safest and easiest approach to make money in the markets then without a doubt holding your coins is your best bet.

As such it is important to know yourself and your capabilities so you can choose the best option for yourself, if you cannot do that then you will choose a method that is not aligned with your skills, in the best scenario then you are just wasting a little bit of time but still getting profits, but in the worst scenario you will lose so much money that it will be impossible for you to recover from those losses.

I would rather have a quite year over active one day. I would rather have 10 trades for the whole year than have 10 trades per day (or even week or month) which is why I am a long term investor. That strategy never fails, never failed me, even after 2017 peak I managed to get back on the horse when it went down so much under, thankfully I sold at 20k but I bought a lot during 12k-13k periods and it went down as much as 3.4k which meant I lost over 70% of my portfolio value during that period.

I didn't give up, since I am a long term investor I bought lower and lower and made my avarage to around 7-8k levels, and one day it went to 9k+ and I sold, it also went to 13k so I could have made more profit but I took what I could from that profit. Now I am back in at lower levels and in profit again.

So never give up, be long term and you will profit one day.

It does have its advantages and disadvantages both on holding and also in active trades and as said that such actions would be made will really be depending into your capabilities or knowledge because not all would really have the skills and the confidence on doing day active trade on where do most people suggest yet this one can really give out that money making opportunity in a shorter time frame without needing for you to wait for years before you do cash out your gains and also i dont consider for it to be a safe one because nothing is assured when in talks of future.You wouldnt even know if the price you've been expecting will be more lower which would end up for you still on negative which would basically waste up on the entire time that you have waited.So its still on 50-50 chance for success even if you do chose the safest route.

It is a strategy but it is not the best strategy, we have different trading and investing profile after all. If you just buy and hold crypto without following any plan or using any study then it is not investing or trading and for sure it can considered as gambling because there is no conviction on why you doing it. I always telling a lot of people especially in terms of holding wherein there are right time in order to do it. A lot of people mistaking it as a holy grail strategy where they think that they will have a sure or guaranteed profit but they are wrong because there are terms that should be follow especially on doing it. I prefer to do buy and hold if the trend is uptrend because the buyers are in control and the prices will go up unlike buying in downtrend where the selling pressure is very high and the prices are keep decreasing.

Cryptocurrency always goes its own way so nothing can be predicted correctly.  But if you can buy at the right time and wait until the right market price then of course you can make a good income from here.

I don't really know what could be the best strategy but for me it is the safest assuming on how crypto has been on the past.
And most of us believe that the crypto could still grow and in the future the price could get higher so for them buy and hold is the best strategy.
But I think we all have our own type's of strategy so everyone have their own decision on whats best.

Maybe also depends from how long you'll spend your time, if you have enough time to work from day to day buying and holding ain't the best strategy but if you don't have that time, it' better to continue investing for long term process, you won't be affected by any market movements if you plan to hold and sets the value that you wanted to sell out your aassets.

Not the best but definitely the right choice if you're starting trading and still have no knowledge in technical and fundamental analysis. The 95 % of traders who lose money buy holding too much definitely does not keep track the coin they are holding. When you hold you should follow the social medias and TG group of the coin you are holding so you are always updated.

The best strategy is a strategy that matches one's own abilities. Day trading or buy and hold are some of the strategies to choose from.

Day trading is an important thing to learn because it will give you knowledge about trading so that you will understand technical analysis and fundamentals. this will get you in and out of the market in a timely manner.

Buying and holding is not that simple, it requires a mature strategy and buying at the right time.
Holding and buying don't target how long you hold it, but a good strategy is at what price you should sell it.

the choice is yours, choose the one that suits you better.

Buy and hold is a good strategy but it always depend on your patience and your ability to make a right timing on buying or selling. It sounds simple but if you are luck of patience you will surely loss a huge amount of profit. It needs fucos and learnings because crypto is always unpredictable and anytime the coin or the token price that you invested may rise and fall that is why it needs patience.

Well, I don't think that Buy and HOLD was really the best strategy here in the crypto market because this is still can be risky sometimes. Besides, this also tests out our patience because sometimes it takes a lot of time before we hit the price we desire. Mostly this strategy was used by those individuals who don't have much time to make their own TA. Personally, I think this strategy works well depending on the volatility of the coins the less volatile the coin is the better to use it and vise versa, anyway it's just my opinion.

No one can say for sure when cryptocurrency fluctuates so you have to be patient until a good market to buy and sell at the right time.

In recent months it happened as you say that crypto is no longer a long-term investment but has changed to daily and short. how many times have gone up and down in just a matter of hours and days, if you can take advantage of this moment you can be sure you will not miss the profits in front of your eyes. but it is true that we must be patient and not panic quickly and always be faithful to see the movements which are always changing rapidly. and take appropriate action when we believe in selling or buying.

I don't know what you classify as "Low-Rated" cryptocurrencies but in most cases not all low-rated crypto are for short term, this certainly depends on our individual preferences but i believe there are many low-rated crypto that are actually under the radar, all we need is do a lot of digging to ensure that they are worth every scent of it,

And i do agree about sticking to top rated crypto in cmc because the good track record and been around for some years, so they are consider as safe investment, however, there are many undervalued crypto out there that are good for long term and can give good returns.

Buy and hold is not really the best this is the safest thing we all know in trading it requires a lot of patience to make money. This kind of technique is commonly used for the people who just not rush anything and just taking time to earn and get their profit, if you want to make a short term trading this kind of technique won't effect also there is a specific coin which is good at this kind of investment if you want to get into buying and hold a coin I think the most effective to this on the bitcoin, I'm not saying am already professional on investment but mostly this is the time common things happen.
If you want to earn for a safe play is go for the buy low and sell high the same strategy that takes a lot of time and patience before you will get your profit.

It is easy to work on past data, try to do tis in live market and you will meet a lot of difficulties. How do we even know that crypo willl exist in 10 years?
So many thing could happen that day trading seems safer option beause there is lower chance than soemthing terrible will happen in few days than in one year like covid for example.

Buy and hold is the strategy that wont make you stress. I mean one time buy at the deepest price then holding it for long term. But make sure you choose the legit one and not the fake project. Day trading is the most stressful job and it will badly affect your health if not manage properly so i think buy and hold is better compared to day trading but please choose the best and legit project to worth the wait.

It is the best strategy for newbies. But when you're in crypto sphere for some more time, you also can try trading. It's fun.

Best to trade but know about trade first newcomers are more vulnerable to trade therefore it is better for newcomers to make long-term investments as well as investing one can learn a lot about the market understand the strategies easily so that there is no risk in later trading. The risk of losing is higher when trading in the beginning.

Most of all, the nerves are spoiled not only by trade, but also by investments in little-known projects, the prospects of which are in doubt. It seems to me that there will be no reason for concern if we take the top-rated cryptocurrencies for long-term investments. Most of all, the nerves are spoiled not only by trade, but also by investments in little-known projects, the prospects of which are in doubt. It seems to me that there will be no reason for concern if we take the top-rated cryptocurrencies for long-term investments.

One of the ironies of holding is that it is the prefereed method of generating profits for newbies and experts alike, after all for newbies starting in this market it is a mistake to become traders right away as most likely they do not have the knowledge to do so, but once you become an expert in this market then most likely you will prefer a method that generates profits without having to do too  much, so even if you recognize in trading a superior way to make money you will still choose the passive way of turning a profit.

But for those that are not newbies or experts on the topic trading is the best choice as at that time you will probably have enough knowledge about how the market works and the time to check the markets constantly and the will to keep up this for years and maximize your profits that way.

If you’re confident that the cryptocurrency you chose to invest in are long-term winners and just want to invest, HODL could be a good option. The thing is, when go for long term investment you have to go big also, to get reasonable profit and that increases your risk at the same time. You can wait as long as you want to but risk still  will be there existing.

If you have enough spare time to invest, gain sizable returns in a short period of time, and confidence in your ability to analyze, then trading in short term better choice. You can day trade in small amounts gain experience and knowledge with little risk. Only thing  you need is time actually, but you can minimize this disadvantage in a great way with automated trading.

Depend, it will be fun if you know the every basic thing how to trade well. You will get money per day depend on your capital and yeah I feel it is something who are idolized by many people, you don't need to work and just focus on your trading system and build it to gain more profit.

But, don't try it when you don't know anything to trade. It will make you stress and loss all your fund. More than that there is future market who will make you have a bunch of capital but you spend a little money. The risk that will be face is really high, you could loss money in several minutes, so be careful with that. I agree that newbie is good if they hold the asset rather they try to trade it.

Best also for not newbie anymore. It's working perfectly for me.

I have the tolerance to see the value go down and happily would wait to see the value as I hold go up. May not work for others but it is as it is and I really like holding.

And I think it's one of the best as long it works for me.

I agree with you, that holding is not only the best strategy for newbies. But for all those who have patience.
Because the key to the success of holding is patiently waiting until the sell target is reached, if we can't be patient,
don't use holding coins strategy. Because I'm one of those people who can't be patient, so holding coins didn't work for me.

It's the opposite on me.

Daily trading is good but I don't think that I'm born for that so I choose to remain a holder. So you are now a daily trader and it works perfectly for you?

What coins you trade?

Completely agreed because day trading seems simple from outside but once you start doing it with real money you will be snatching your hairs daily because the movement from coins is so un-predictable and a coin you believe will increase might become dust by the night.

I actually think buying and holding is great but only for the big coins like BTC, ETH and maybe tron now a days as I really like the development they are doing behind the scenes. There are various DeFi coins as well which are worth investing but then again you might not want to invest in those because they usually have a short life-span and having the knowledge when to sell is very important so yeah holding is good but have the courage and faith to sell at the right time.

You should understand that if you bought at a high price, such as bitcoin in early 2018, it is not the best strategy!
And if you bought in March-April, then of course it will be good as an investment!
And no need to be greedy and wait for super profits! ;)

It's indeed fun and very exciting to be a trader in crypto because the profits are big but the losses are too although the frequent market change can be funny but for people who trade high amounts actually feel stressed when the market is going bearish because they are loosing real value in real time and can do nothing but hold on and hope the bad time will pass. I recall the incident where in March a friend of mine held as much as he could but at around 5k value he actually sold his coins and I cannot blame him because anyone would be sweating and tempted to cash when the market falls by 50% value and more aided by the pandemic it seemed like the end of bitcoins by many experts.

Holding requires a skill that is called "patience" and buy only that amount of assets which you can afford to loose, lie they say in gambling holds true for trading/investing too at times.

some are really earning big for holding coins since 2015, some long term investors too just don't care if it goes up or down, they will hold it for a year or more, because they have the patience to wait

The most important thing is that you buy it when the bitcoin price is low and make the purchase gradually while watching the bitcoin move and hold it for as long as you like.
but in my opinion, making long-term investments without a time limit is a good choice for bitcoin and to avoid worrying when things go down and it's just a matter of waiting for bitcoin prices to rise according to the price and profit you want even if you have to wait a long time.
and patience plays an important role when you are waiting for the highest price and the belief that bitcoin will always make a good profit.

The buy and hold strategy is the most common strategy being used by everyone most specially for the starters for its basic concept to buy when the dip comes and hold for a while and wait for the profitable turning point when the pump comes along. There are lots of strategies on trading in the crypto market and buy and hold is just one of them which why I could say that it is not literally be the best strategy for I think there is no definite or standardized strategy to be claimed as the best. We all do have our strategies which is dependent on the approach that the trader wanted to exert on his trades so basically there is no best strategy suitable for everyone, maybe for an individual it could be possible based on his point of view or perception.

This is why if you choose to go with the strategy of holding your coins you make sure that you pick a good coin, and in this market it is clear which is the best coin we can pick and that is bitcoin, there are other coins that are good but that have nowhere the long term potential of bitcoin.

Which is why when I see a newbie claiming that he is holding his coins for the long term but he decided to pick an altcoin no one has ever heard I try to open their eyes to the point holding only works if the coin you selected has a high chance of surviving for many years which as we know this is not the case for the majority of the altcoins in the market.

Its a gamble when someone do chose some alts to be hold in future years to come and as said, not all would really have the capability to rise up its price in the future because it will all vary with the demand and support of from the community.Buy and Hold might be just too basic to be heard of but it doesn't mean that this will be good for all coins for you to apply on.I do only consider Bitcoin and ETH and some top alts which are really worth to hold on and the rest is just really not included into my consideration, maybe there are some coins which I do saw underrated at the moment but it is
really indeed a gamble if you do make out such decisions.Also, holding for too long isn't really my forte yet im not really that patient enough to wait up for long to see some profits after that.
Its better to have some active trading instead.

That is what a trader usually do or the holder of course if you think that your coin you purchase is a potential coin you do not need to trade it to other coin because you gonna do is hold it for now depende what coin is best to keep because the real profit is if the coin you have is potential. We have different startegy we use in trading so depends what is gonna fit to you there is no wokrs for others but good in you .

If you are thinking of long term investment, if you have that amount of patience, then this method is better than this one. Following this method will reduce your risk of losing money. You invest in a good company and after a certain period of time you sell it and earn some good money. It's a long time coming. When you arrive at the right time, you can sell it and make some good profit.

I have to find risk in a long-term investment but if we have just wanted to save and invest only, I have to agree with you by then. But of course, we need to check also and track it from time to time in order to be aware of what is happening.
Just like buying Bitcoin today and hold for about 2 years or more, this will not guarantee that makes us profitable unless if you are buying bitcoin when the market is in the dip.

Buy and Hold strategy is suitable only when we buy crypto on cheep price, If we buy at high and price dumps and we wait for our buying price,I think it is not good strategy. Holding is for those peoples who have large amount of investments, Small traders like us have to look kitchen budget and want monthly earning.

If you have a good idea about the crypto market then it is possible to acquire the best strategy by buying and selling coins. To do this you need to know about the market and verify and hold the currencies. This is a very good move for big traders but buying BTC and Ethereum coins in the crypto market can make a profit from now on if the price goes up it is not right to hold for too long.

buy and hold is a good strategy in crypto surely there is no doubt. but before buying any cryptocurrency,you need to do a lot of research. buying shitcoin will be waste of money and time also.so you have to choose some good project with a strong team and with a good product.personally i suggest to buy and hold bitcoin and ethereum.

also if you have technical knowledge,than you can do regular trade with your crypto. for this you dont need buy and hold,just buy and sell regularly following your trade setup. in this way you can also make easy money. but its not so easy.at trade you can also lost a lot

I think this is a very important point, we must remember that when it comes to the markets there are for the most part two different approaches, there are those that want to obtain profits no matter the cost and for that they are willing to take huge risks in order to achieve their goals.

But there is also another group which are the ones that want to obtain profits from the markets but by taking the smallest risk possible and try to avoid losing their capital by all means available to them, and for those people holding their assets for the long term is the best way to make money in almost any market.

Trading always requires basic knowledge of what you trade and how you use it. There are different strategies for you to earn profit in cryptocurrency but it is not always the best. Choosing the strategy for gaining a profit will be all depending on the user, We do all have a different environment and this environment greatly affects how we interact with crypto. The knowledge, experience, capital, and other factors are needed for you to identify the best strategy for you to make a profit in the market.

In case of Bitcoin the best strategy is holding the most of it, while selling a part on the rise and then buying the dip. Takes time to practice enough not to lose too much though 8)

if you dont have knowledge and time to do daily trading, then hodl is your best strategy.

One basic thing that some people tend to forget is that we are all different, a person could have the characteristics of a great trader but if he decides to become a holder he may find that he does not have what it is needed and that he cannot hold his coins when the price is going down and he has a strong desire to sell, and as you may guess the opposite is also true, so we need to be very honest about our characteristics and try the strategy that best fit our characters.

This also lead us to a surprising conclusion there are people that simply do not have the skills to either trade or hold and for the most part I think those people should remain outside of volatile markets like bitcoin.

i think it's a good strategy if you know nothing about trading )) buy and hold is actual about eth and btc (as for me). personally i try to research interesting defi projects and especially - dex-es, i think it's more profitable strategy for now

I agree. For a stand-off person buying and holding is far better than not being involved at all.

Trading does require time and training and I appreciate that not many people can do that. This is why buying and holding is the better alternative  :D

Holding is profitable and easier than trading. Selling pressure in trading is too much. If you can't handle it, you'll lose a lot of money from it. Whilst in holding, it wouldn't be one of the most suggested strategies if it's not effective and proven.

also believe this) i'm researching a lot of interesting dex projects - recently  researched a new stablecoin dex with nice returns - xsigma, looks credible

Not only a better alternative but also a good decision if you dont know on how to deal up with moving prices.Its not ideal to take involvement into something which it isnt in your grasp.

Risking to move forward isnt bad either because you wont learn anything if you dont try and able to experience into those actual situations that you would be facing on.

Buy and hold doesnt always indicate a good decision because everything would really be depending on what or which coin you do tend to hold.

i know them - likely to be a nice dex, they are backed by a public company and even in a team people from Ripple

Your strategy is so good but you tell 95 % investors. It's wrong i think other many trader don't have enough knowledge about token. This people need to hold good coin. If You saw good coin price chart after time it pump. Another if you buy only bitcoin and hold it you can make good profit but you need right time for buying btc. So i tell hold is best for new trader.

I saw that numerous brokers and financial specialists have wrong viewpoint in holding when they imagine that they can bring in cash in the event that they will hold it even the market is against to them. I think it is a lot simpler to decide the methodology by investigating the best monetary standards in the crypto market. You will truly think twice about it on the off chance that you simply keep it and descend at a specific time realizing it siphoned in specific occasions.

Bro, I guess if you hold on to stablecoins, will you make a profit? instead the name is "stable" or it's form the devidend? I think only bitcoin and ethereum apply to this strategy (within safe reach), maybe there are other coins like Litecoin? but I'm not too sure about that, so far only bitcoin and ethereum have been proven

According to your title it is really the best strategy to be honest.
Most of the newbies made this similar mistake that they don’t wait patiently, they just run for quick profits and therefore end up with losses.
When you guys want to gamble try at casinos why trying trading?
The most efficient rule of trading and making profit is to wait and hold.
And there will be a golden opportunity where you will get the time to sell and earn sufficient profit.
This is the bitter truth at this point of time.

Bitcoin proved it out since then, if you bought bitcoin after the 2017 bull run and hold it till now, then the sense of buying low and selling high

is very appreciated, lots of long term holders are getting huge amount of profits up to know, this is not new to those who experienced the market

strong bull, once it's start to rise then it will give a huge profits to all supporters.

Best for those who buy really lower and hold for a long period of time. Worst for those who buy at highs like the present one and then regret if it turns down to be a nightmare for them if the price gets down 50% in a day like we have seen every time. Selling high is good because they can get chances to buy lower again, but if a holder holds it without any need of profits, he/she will not give a damn about price today or a decade later.

Buy and hold is another way to make a profit in the crypto market. However, there is also a lot of risk to your fund loss, because like day trading, you have to buy at the right time using your crypto knowledge. If you can't buy at the right time to make a long hold, it will be impossible to make a profit from that coin. It would be risky to buy a coin's ath without using your crypto knowledge properly.

Buy and hold probably not the best strategy in trading, but consider it the safest way compared to scalping which may bring more profits by the end of the day.
However, most people don't know how to do scalping, to buy and sell at the right time not the other way around, in a volatile market and many predictions to confuse you, especially at the current market condition that provides very few pullbacks to give any occasion to make a profit for day traders.

If you are risk-averse and your primary concern is capital preservation and long-term profits then Buy and hold is the best strategy .Because it offers the greatest probability of success.

Both are best for everyone, especially those beginners.  Just imagine if you bought Bitcoin in early March and then hold on until now then you've got a profit of 500%+ of your investment amount.  only one worst strategy bruhhh is that "you sell your tokens far below the price you bought it"..

not all of these strategies work well in cryptocurrencies, especially in altcoins,
a lot of altcoins also become trash, if you just buy without thinking about the fundamentals of the altcoin project, then you will regret it,
analysis is also very important to minimize risk, don't let you forget it.

The buy and hold strategy is that it may be a good choice strategy for a long term investment or it could be a bad strategy, bad results may occur in the future. We must always monitor the development of our valued assets, we must make the right decisions when we are going to sell our assets.

In my opinion  purchase and hold procedure will as it were apply to a few token, Not everybody can get the way of buying and holding like not each token is appropriate for that kind of procedure and fair holding it implies that you just are giving your believe to that certain token. My always favorite Bitcoin and Ethereum since life span astute I accept that I can benefit on both of them. Being professional, I like exchanging enormous coins but I ain't holding it for as well long since I know I can make superior benefits in exchanging them.

I do not think that buy and hold is the best strategy in cryptocurrency. This only applies to those who have money but no experience or idea about the cryptocurrency market. If you have experience in cryptocurrency and have good skills in market analysis, you can gain even more. Market analysis is the process of buying from the potential stages and analyzing the process of market growth for a certain period of time. However, in this case, without proper analysis, it may not be possible to achieve maximum profit but to make more profit in a short period of time and take advantage of the opportunities created by market fluctuations.

buying crypto currency at low prices and trying to hold long term is indeed very good, because it is very efficient and precise, yes it is like an investment only we have to pay attention to market conditions in real time, for me that's a good strategy, so do it before everyone goes to moon

From the little experience am having I think everybody is having different strategy that work for them just do your research and do what pays you must, as for me I really believe buying and holding is the best strategy for and that's what have been using and is really working for me!!!

There is no doubt that buy and hold is one of the good strategies in crypto. But for this, you need to do research about the project where you want to put your money. Without the proper knowledge, it's not safe to make an investment. We all know that investments in crypto are very risky and we may be lost all of our capital here.

buy bitcoin as much as you can, it's safest to invest for the long term surely. also buy ethereum, it's the queen of altcoins. bitcoin already pumps a lot and I believe now ethereum will pump hard. if you want to buy and hold try to do an investment in some legit coin. good luck

If you choose a good currency coin and there are great chance of project growing in future than we can say that buying this coin and holding is best strategy. Its totally depend on a coin which you choose for a buying.
I always choose top 100 currencies for holding because there are very low chance of loose if price goes down in market , recovered in very short time. And good point of view is that these coins have some great ideas for their coin price pumping.
Bitcoin price gowing up at very high rate, similarly Eth goes 750$+ and hope will touch 800$ soon. Other top coins are also made their way . cryptocurrency is the name of holding. Withoult holding we cannot achieve a great benefit. But suitable time,experience and tradung rule are important

Something that is said to be a loss will always exist in a business, of course this is also included in crypto itself, therefore there is a lot of discussion about how best to get maximum results with trading and HODL.

Of course, it must also be based on the right references, so that when we really want to invest a certain amount of funds for HODL in crypto, we already understand how the potential of crypto is so that the income that can be achieved will also be maximized.

According to my observation here in cryptocurrency, there are different kinds of investors here in this industry.
There are some investors who will buy coin only because they had been hyped by someone and became greedy to earn big
even without any idea He/She entering at, then other investors are long term holders, day traders, Swing traders and more.
In short, in crypto trading Hold is not all the time to do it. This is only include for the real potentials coin in the market.

Yes, most of time "buy and hold", is a strategy, that came for whose who bought and price later getting upset.
If some coin will rise 3-10x times, you sell it and happy.

But if coin fall in 3-10x times for a lot of people that just mean that they now must hold intill price will return.

That`s why this meme massivly become on crypto scene, after highs of December 2017 - January 2018.

This strategy is for that type of crypto users who dose not know about trading, who can not trade or who dose not know how you can increase your profit soo far. You know what crypto is a open source way to generate profit. Here has lots of way like trading, staking, farming, mining. And the most popular thing and the fastest profit generating way is trading. Though it is also the most toughest for beginner. It is not suitable for beginners. Only expert people who has known about trading how to trade? How it works, how to analys technical thing in crypto? It is also most riskiest part in crypto that is why it is fastest profitable thing. Though at the beginning of your journey no one suggest you to risk about your money that is why expert suggest begineers to buy and hold crypto. In this time you just learn everything and every part of crypto. Thats it.

It depends on how strong is your belief towards Bitcoin or a certain altcoin. Like me of course, I am not a day trader but I rather buy and #HODL some cryptocurrencies. I am not saying it's the best strategy though, because no strategy is perfect as it always depends on market manipulation where buyers and sellers are playing the game. We are just lucky to buy some while it's cheap and hold it for a long time, like what is happening to Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies these days (not a Ripple fan here). Risk management in both time and money is the real game here.

Basically it depends on the potential of the coins which you have in your portfolio, every trader has different targets strategies to achieve his targets, so you should try to trade in your style.

If your porfolio has shitcoins & you are expecting to get 2x , 3x or upto 10x or more, this could happen but not all the times. It is better to buy some great potential coins(whose team is working very well) then this strategy can give you a good profit......

I have confidence on alts with actual use case rather than coins that are merely existing because of price manipulation. And we know that a lot of alts are just for short gains. The buy and hold will only be true for me when it comes to btc and eth. But with the other alts, you need to be very cautious in holding them for long-term.

There is more to buy and hold than having faith in the coin that you are holding, it actually helps you get a golden goose that you can get your gold anytime you want. Holding also helps you decrease your risk of losing your profit (for bitcoin in my opinion), especially if you are new to trading and you do not have a mentor or you are just naïve about trading. It also does not take much of your time as you are not busy watching the market every minute, you can do other things that will stream more cash flow.

Buy and Hold is the best strategy in the crypto market, buy low, and sell high. But for this altcoin in which you are investing must have potential. This strategy works best for BTC, ETH, and few other coins. The majority of the time it is batter to invest in a coin when it is listed on the exchange and sell it at the first pump.

Exchanging is beneficial and day exchanging is more beneficial than anything in this world so day dealer are assumed to be the wealthiest individuals of this world but what is the reality behind it,Long term holders are the one making the benefits in reality since it isn't conceivable to form cash continually from exchanging so the net benefits at the conclusion of a long time will not be rises to to the benefits made from essentially long run holding till get expected maximum profit.

Yeah, buying currency and holding it is not always the best choice, if we see it is simple and easy, we just have to buy or invest our money and hold it until the money will increase, then sell it if it feels enough to increase at the desired price.

Even though it looks so easy, it is precisely this long term that needs to be reconsidered, because there are unexpected risks that will await in the future that we really don't want, but we also have to think about it and anticipate it so as not to experience losses.

Buying currency to invest in the long term does not always produce satisfactory results, because we do not know what will happen the next day, the next day, and so on. The problems that cause a currency's value to decline are certain. Therefore, before buying there are times when we have also prepared ways to anticipate it.

buying coin and holding it is one of the basic in alt coin trading. there is an advantage and disadvantage when it comes to buy and hold. the advantage is when you buy a specific coin and hold it for long term you may gain higher % of profit when it pumps  but the disadvantage of that is losing your money if that specific coin got dump. for me when it comes to trading you need to think and analyze all the angles and techniques on how you will gain profit and earn more percentage.

Buying and holding is a strategy for bitcoin only, you can execute it with altcoins if you want but that is at your own risk, altcoins are way more volatile and the risk the coin disappears before you make any profits is very high, if you compare this to bitcoin in which the chance that it disappears is zero and as long as you hold your coins for a  few years the probabilities you make profits are almost 100% then there is no comparison, holding is the perfect strategy if you have bitcoin but if you hold anything else then it is incredibly risky and not worth your time.

Depends on the situation. If it is in a correction or bearish season, buy & hold can be the best strategy. It is the best time to buy, then usually people will hold the tokens on the wallets and wait till the bullish trend's coming. While if it is in a bullish trend, for me scalping is better to optimize the chance to gain profits in each momentum of the raise. If you use the buy-hold strategy for the long term in the bullish trend, then you will be frustrated because after the bullish will come the bearish season. In the bearish, crypto coins will be decreasing their values for months or even years.

Well yeah we have our own style and strategy , Others loves the fast movement of Day Trading , faster to lose and faster to win.

- Others choose HODL, Safe for waiting and safe for time consuming.

- While others are trying to Arbitrage ( But for me this is the riskier way of trading)

But what ever we chooses , what is the most important thing is that we will able to Risk and profit , if the value stagnant then let it be and go to the next one.
