In times like this which is more profitable having your coins for trading or holding the coins for long time?

My experience tells me that a beginner who comes to this market without basic knowledge of the trade, you do not have to rush to buy tokens. You need to learn the main points in trading on the exchange, understand how it all works. The most reliable option is a long-term investment

both are equally profitable and I'am doingit. if I profit from trading, 50% will add to trading capital and 50% I will make long-term investment.
you can try it, but remember that both have risks.

Both options are useful only if you have enough experience in trade and investment. I keep 70% of my funds as long-term investments, and at 30 I trade on the stock exchange almost every day, and on the profit I also buy a coin for a long time.

They are both different. Long time investment is holding and missing the peak and troughs of daily,or shorter,price changes. Trading is taking advantage of volatility by buying on the troughs and selling on the peaks. If done successfully trading will do better even including buy/sell fees.

If you are an experienced trader, then trading will surely do the trick since you dive into the details of its every move. As compared to investing for the long term, short term changes are easily ignored.

I think fast trading might be risky in these times, in my opinion, staying away from sellings might be right choice. Because the prices are rising very slowly and they are still really low. I think it can be a really good time to make some long term investments.

Based on my own experience in stocks, investors would prefer a less volatile stock/asset and traders are the ones who prefer volatile conditions.

I join the statements that without experience trading on short-term positions is a big risk. In my opinion, it is better to consider long-term investments in this situation.

It depends on your level of trading skills. Now you can buy some coins really low for long term, but if you know TA, you can do daily trading and make profit every single day. For trader it doesn't matter if the market is bullish or bearish - profit is everywhere)

Either both ways would really make you money if you do know how to deal with it but it wont really be an easy thing yet we do all know that short trading and using TA would require experience for you to find out possible movements of coins in the market. Volatility is on where most short traders do really love but if you are going for long term trading then its up to you if you do skip active trading.

I think holding can be very profitable if you have coins. Because the prices are still low. So, in my opinion, it is better if you stay away making selling in these times.

Long time investment do your own research and join ico or buy potency coins. And wait it to pump. Daily trading is difficult for new traders.
It is so much risky.

If you are new in trading, I think you should be really careful about your decisions.

In my opinion, the most trustable coins are bitcoin and ethereum, for long term investments. But if you want to learn that which coins are the most suitable ones for fast trading, you should follow the price tables and news carefully.

For me, it has proven especially hold coins either the long or medium-long term. For the long term, it was certainly Ethereum or other verified altcoins. For medium-long term i keep the coins that are newly announced (for example coins with algo neoscrypt) mined for the beginning and wait for the growth of prices on the exchange. Then sell half and leave half for the future. But it always depends on you how you decide. If you are a newcomer, I would recommend you to watch the market first and then decide.

You should go to Beginners section with such question.
Long-term investments are for saving, they're a foundation. If you want to rapidly increase your income, go for daytrading but the riscs are going much higher too.
