Okay so people keep saying holding is more important and things like its better because if you hold, you pay less in taxes because of long term capital gains as oppose to short term which makes sense.


However, what if the crypto or stock increases like 50% or even double in a few days time or weeks time etc?  Yea so you are paying a lot in taxes if you trade... but if you wait for a year or longer, now you could have no gains or just 5% gain.  Whereas you trade for a few days and make 50%... sure you pay a lot in short term capital gains... but if after a year, the gain is only 5%, well you made more trading than holding.


Thoughts on this for trading whether crypto or stocks?  Doesn't it make a ton of sense to daytrade crypto since you could make a lot in roi where even if you daytrade, well paying the taxes in short term gains would earn you lot more money than holding it long term when the gains could be completely gone by then?  Or if there are gains, well you might get just a 5% gain and long term and pay long term capital gains... but if its short term and 50% or even double that... well the amount you keep after taxes is much more than that 5% long term gain?  Of course ideal situation is big percentage gain and long term gain but of course that is hard.

Holding is the best strategy for those who don't want to trade or can't trade.

Holding pays off, other trading can go either way. Daytrading specifically is a bit of a hard thing to do (trading intra day can be difficult). Dcaing or other tactics can be a lot easier to carry out and tactics like "buy the fear, sell the silence" might even work better than some day trading.

Actually depends on someones capacity on doing trades or on how he would be dealing into his investment because not all would really be knowledgeable nor be skillful when it comes to this area and not all would be having the same experience.

Daytrading is something you should need to deal with the market on the active manner where does simply means that you would need time and proper effort for you to deal with volatility which it would be needing for you to face off in the front of a computer and dealing off with things.

This isnt suggested for noobs though but if you do want to play on the safer side then hodling would be the best option but not all does have the patience
on doing so.SO its up to someones preference and capacity.

There is no specific time until when you just hold. They hold for some reason and one is that to wait until the next Bullrun will come, it takes months or years depending on the situation. The good thing about holding is less stress for the holders, they just sit and wait for the perfect time to sell and make a profit from it.

While day trading, you have to check and work it every day at your trades. Honestly, it is a stressful job. Let us say that we can possibly make a huge money in trading for a shorter time but we can't decline also the possibility that we might lose huge money in a single day. It finds to be riskier and this makes some people to outplay in trading but instead to choose to just hold only.

You think day trading is always about making profits?

Well, tell that to millions of traders who at one point tried day trading. A big percentage of them(we are taking about over 90% don't make profits day trading)

Whereas for Holding, you just have to buy Bitcoins at the perfect time (during the dip or bear market) and then relax for a few years. There's a certain guarantee that you will always been in profits. If you are doubting this. Go look at the BTC charts since 10 years ago and see how the price has been rising.

Also, if you are holding good coins and very solid ones, it is better to hold and not be bothered by day trading. However, if you are up to the fast pace of life in day trading, you can, but you should set your targets so you are still align with your goals. Not many crypto users can catch up the life of day traders. This is the reason why a lot of them are losing instead of gaining profits. Day trading is not an easy peasy task though.

There's a lot of "you could"'s and "you can"'s when talking about trading. But the question is, can you actually? If you can end up by actively trading and actually end up making a lot more money compared to holding, then go for it. If you can't, then just hold for the long term. It's that simple, really.

Well thoughts on whether it'd be trading stocks or crypto? It does not matter anyway.
If you can trade like for majority of the day, trading would suit the best at your pace.
If not, it is the hodling that you can do.

Yeah, but for me before you can make money on trading, most of the time, you need to lose some before getting that needed experience under you belt, and then you feel comfortable about it and maybe starts to make money.

As opposed to just HODLing for long term, you just continue to accumulate, get a hard ware wallet and store your BTC for a long time.

Basically people just want to pursue the maximum possible profit by any means. There are a few things at stake in daytrading which I think are the main reason some people don't like it even though it looks promising.

A person will not spend his time watching a monitor screen all day if he has a surefire way of earning more flexibly if the results will be worth it.
A fairly good portfolio will not be easy to change someone's strategy to try something else that is more risky, let alone considering the costs of trading, electricity, and health (of course you don't want when big profits in day trading for 1 full month then suddenly get sick).

I'd even say not only most of the time, but I'd go as far and say all of the time. Idunno, though theoretically not impossible, I haven't heard of a single trader that did great consistently from the start.

But yea, I'm personally a hodler as well, with a few mid-long term trades here and there. Not that I'm against day-trading, but I personally just rather do something else than reading charts all day.

I now see it in exactly the same way. Trading is a lot of fun, at least in the beginning, but it can quickly turn into frustration if you make mistakes and have to watch your hard-earned BTC melt away.

Basically, this graphic sums it up very well here:

As a Hodler, you simply go through life much more relaxed, but have less excitement.

Theoritically day trading specially on volatile altcoins ends up giving a way more return. But that would mean a complete breakdown of your mental, physical and social health. You would have to set up bots to monitor prices 24x7x365 and then execute trades based on indicators. It becomes way more stressful than day trading on stock market where you have fixed hours.

If you want to have a stable anxiety level in the market and not go crazy over price - go with the long term hodl. For example, back in 2015 bitcoin was priced at 600-700$ and today after 6years it is priced at ~35k $. So you can see the reason why Bitcoin users have advocated a long term holding strategy as a safe method.

About where taxation is a point of difference, I would not give it much weight. Eventually when crypto gets regulated (fingers crossed), you will have to pay taxes, that should not be a reason for changing trading strategy.

I'm not sure what you said about taxes is correct, besides tax laws are different in different places. AFAIK you pay taxes on your gains whether you gained small amounts in your trades like 100 times $10 = $1000 or held and sold once for a single time $1000 you pay the same tax assuming small amount are also taxed (like $10).

As for day-trading versus holding it is a matter of WHAT. For example for the past 4 years there has been many newbies who held on to a lot of altcoins that they bought in 2017 bubbles, the result is that not a single one of them has been capable of going back to the prices they bought at. That means "holding" the wrong thing will result in big losses.
On the other hand even if you had bought bitcoin at the peak of the bubble or the last couple of weeks of the bubble you had bought it in $8k to $19k and are now in a big profit that keeps on rising as bitcoin keeps going up. Again choosing the right thing results in big profit.

Day trading has its benefits and risks too. One big risk is when the centralized exchanges are hacked or run away with your money. Otherwise day trading pump and dump altcoins despite being risky can be very profitable if you don't get caught up in the hype and end up becoming a bag holder. In other words as long as you dump that altcoin before others dump you'd be golden.

Taxes will always be there, you trade or invest in stocks, you'll be taxed. You day trade or hold bitcoin then you'll also be taxed. So no matter what you choose, you'll still be taxed. What's best for you to do is to choose which market you're very much familiar with and good at analyzing.
If you're from the stocks market, you stay there and start to study little by little the crypto market. But if you're definitely and without a doubt good in day trading in crypto, you hold and day trade as much as you can and get an unlimited profit opportunity as you trade. In crypto, it's not just all about trading, you can explore more on it.

Day trading is good if the market can moves up and down many times. Holding is good if you do not want to involve in the market too often or you are busy or do not have much time to trade. Both day trading and holding will have risk and you can choose what you want to select. You can also make a profit from both day trading and holding, but that will depend on your skills if you select day trading because you need more skills to make a profit from the day trading. If you select holding, you can determine how much the increase of the price that you want to sell so you can make a profit.

Many had tried to put themselves at risk by doing trading and holding for the sake to make good money out of crypto. If I have to choose among the two, I'll take them both. Sometimes we get tired of trading, sometimes the market seems not good for trading, and holding will be the last option to take.
Holding doesn't matter if you have skills or not, but at least we have some knowledge about crypto, about what we are doing as a basic requirement. Next, will be the chosen coin otherwise, we come near to failure and losses.

Ok so if were going to talk about obtaining the maximum amount of profit one could get in the shortest amount of time (even in a long time tbh), it's a no-brainer that day trading is the answer. But, as mk4 said, it's a matter of whether you even can or not. It's close to impossible to get the maximum amount of profit, and heck even 50% of the max amount of profit is close to a dream. It's just that hard to day trade. So the next option you'd actually consider is how much time you're going to spend on it, and if profit isn't a question, then it's holding. With holding, you don't peek at the charts 24/7, you just cash out after a few years when you think you've made profit.

Well let's just say of the two holding is playing it safe as there isn't much risk...all you doing is waiting for value of assets to go up  unlike day trading which means getting onto the market to buy or sell an asset and should you make the wrong call,there is a possibility of actual loss of money (crypto assets) but on the reward side of things trading is more profitable than being a hodler.

If you look at the price chart with monthly candles, you will see the trend line is similar to the smooth road for hodlers whilst if you use daily candles, you will see many ups and downs which can kill your patience, confidence and steal your Bitcoin.

Alternative way is using the daily low price (from coinmarketcap) then finding the minimum value of daily low price of each year. See the draw result and the chart. Bitcoin is bullish even if you look at its lowest price each year.

Not all are able to concentrate watching the crypto market and able to do daytrading. Sure that you can gain more profit from daytrading than holding but there are many factors that some people still prefer to hold. As for me, I have a weak emotion in trading and doesn't really understand to read candlesticks and charts which makes it difficult for people like me to daytrade. We can lose money if the market doesn't go the way we want. Unlike holding, we just wait for a year or more to take profit

Holding will not be as complicated as daily trading which requires deep analysis and also strong techniques with holding we can wait for the right price to target so I think it's easy.

Daily trading is enough to do if there is no skill at all, not just buying and selling but all of that you must know that analysis is strong, it is strong to determine the best position with the targets covered, therefore daily trading needs perseverance and I think this needs strong learning for those who don't know.

I'm still lacking in day trading unless there is a strong indicator I can understand.

More like if you can actually accurately time the up and downs of the market. If's really not an 'if'; It's general knowledge that the cryptocurrency markets do fluctuate a lot since it's inception. It's just the matter of can you make the right long/short trades to monetize off these movements.

This guy gets it. Trading is only good if you are good at it. Otherwise its an exhausting and expensive form of character development. If you are not good at trading then just hodl. You will probably outperform 95% of traders.

From my point of view holding is a better strategy because:
- too little time investment, bought once and forgotten, I don't need to sit in front of a monitor for hours every day
- less stressful
- tax-wise cheaper = 0, as you said before
- in the long run it can be more profitable than day trading. There are even statistics about it on the net.

In principle, it does not matter how high the actual fluctuations in the market are. You only need to look at the forex market, for example, where fluctuations are generally extremely low, at least if you look at the actual fluctuations in value:

https://i.postimg.cc/NGX49W0S/screenshot-24.png (https://postimages.org/)

In such markets one helps oneself with very high leverage in order to make money quickly (mostly of course to lose money). The crypto market with its already high fluctuations coupled with leverage is for me, however, unbeatable in absurdity (and danger).

True. Leverage has been the answer for traders to trade far less volatile assets. As far as I know though(I don't have the data), most crypto traders/speculators execute trades through spot trades. You know, the typical buy/sell button through Coinbase/Binance. Hence why the crypto markets are more attractive to them because of the huge volatility (without the need of leverage).

The skills required in becoming a day trader is vast thus it will be quite difficult and tasking for any newbie to get involve straightaway without any prior knowledge and  this will amount to rekting of account or losing of funds however on the other hand hodling is much easier to execute and is more or less easier for a newbie to make profit on a long term basis however time span involved in taking profits is another difference between a hodler and a day trader, apart from the skills  they earn their profits within a short period of time and can equally be chosen as a full-time job.

For me, what I can see on Day trading versus Holding.

Daytrading = more on technical analysis
Holding = more on fundamental analysis

For me, more work to do here is day trading, technical analysis because if you are doing trading, you probably doing analyzing charts not every time but if you want to observe, you should have more time for analyzing the chart.

For holding, this can be done by researching a particular coin, research, and research, identify the tokenomics, what is the use of it and what problems will solve for this project, and if you are already done researching and you decided to buy it, then for sure you will hold it for midterm to longterm.

Overall, I can say that these days trading and holding both got some work to do, need time and effort too.
There are some people who are bad in day trading but extremely good at finding a gem and hold it for the long term or vice versa.

day trading is pretty much an act of degenerate gambling.

dca and hodl

Actually, I use both trading and holding because I see that by trading and holding, I can have a chance to make a profit. When the price can go up and down many times, I can buy low and sell high. Although I need to wait for some time to sell, that is still worth it for me. Maybe with trading, I can have some profit, and I am okay if that profit will be for one week or bi-weekly. Holding needs patience and calms down as the market can up and down every day. Without that, we will not be able to hold the coin.

Now that's where your problem is coming from, your very first statement. You don't developed an investment strategy based on what people say, people will always recommend what worked for them and if you don't have their type of mindset you most likely won't have th same success rate as their. On a general note, holding has been the same st strategy but you can also decide to trade and make more profit than the hodlers.

The hodling mentality was use to advice new incomers that didn't have very strong idea of trading but just want to start making money, this guys loses it before they even begin their journey so for their best interest, they're advice to hold and since hodling has less work to be done, it's highly recommended.

Hodling isn't a strategy that should be used for every project out there, we have project that are just been hyped that's why you can see them making high return in the short term but not doing so great in long term, those projects you trade and not hodl.

Day trading on this current situation is very stressful to be honest because market still unpredictable and most of the coin are still struggling . wherein yes you can make quick profits but at the same time its like you put your self in a risky situation as well and despite you don't have an idea how many profits you can make or how much money you will lose after making mistakes in it.

It's a big question actually if you want to trade on this current situation, so you better think about it.

That's true, of course, yes. For someone who wants to work without leverage but still see high fluctuations, there is no way around the crypto market. I don't know a single representative from the classic markets that is even remotely subject to such daily fluctuations. Especially in the stock market, traders already lose their nerves when a stock drops 3% within one day. "Only" 3% on a crypto day is a boring day ...

---

Day trading has nothing to do with the general market sentiment (bullish, bearish) since the trades - as the name suggests - are executed within one day (= buying and selling within 24 hours) ... often there are only a few minutes between buying and selling.

I can trade, but I have no time. so the wise move for me is to buy the coin I believe, and transfer it to my wallet for hodling. Remember, never never hodl a coin in an exchange site for longterm.

If you dont know how to read indicators and doesnt know some tools to use in trading, then holding is indeed for you. We need courage, we need to learn and take risk. If you arent that good in trading, holding suits you better. But then continous learning about trading, experienced how to do it will make you a better profits as well.

It is quite risky for sure if you are still determined to do daily trading,
as you said with the current conditions better think carefully before making a trade,
In trading, there is always risk, no matter what the conditions are and it all comes back to their respective decisions

Holding has a higher ROI compared to day trading because for day traders who make 50% ROI of their capital  pays taxes which can't be below 10% of their profit while holders hold for months, or even years and most atimes they ROI could amount to 200% with lesser tax fee compared to day traders and also holders don't need any special technique to hold on to their coin they only follow the news to know when to sell and the right time to buy more

OP should come to the knowledge that hodling is also trading because at some point the hodler will have to sell off. I haven't heard of someone who has been hodling Bitcoin since its creation toll date without selling any bit. Even Satoshi who is believed to have mapped out one million Bitcoin in a secured wallet must be trading from small hodlings in different wallets (that's my belief). Again, what gives a token it's value is the activities of buying and selling on it. If everyone decides not to sell and hodl, how will the token be valued? However, OP should also know that hodling requires no special skills but trading does.

No one is denying that day trading is highly profitable but the question is every day trader can pick that peak and sell at the perfect time so they can make 50% profits in just 2 days?

Okay if some people did it perfectly then what will be their next strategy? They will buy at the high price or wait for the price to dip? They have to wait for the dip so they can buy at cheaper prices this strategy is same in the HODLing as well.

No, trading is fundamentally not profitable, certainly not for Jon Doe. In German-speaking countries, for example, there is an obligation for brokers to state how many of their customers lose money through their platforms (https://devisen-handeln.org/forex-broker/forex-broker-vergleich.html). It is not uncommon for this to be well over 70%, so more than 2/3 of traders actually lose money.

Of course, trading CAN be very lucrative, but for the majority it is quite simply that they should rather keep their hands off it.

depending on you feel confident and comfortable in HOLD or DAY?
Everyone has their own trading style. but if I can give advice then HOLD is the best way. You don't have to check market prices every day, you don't have to worry about panicking all the time. all you need to do when you become a HOLDER is to buy and store them for you to take at a later date.

Seriously I really believe in holding but that those not mean that day trading is not also good. I just believe depending on the kind of pattern that works for you seriously you don't have to follow what people say you just have to do your research first and knows what works for you. I really believe sometimes I really believe trading might go side way so you don't have choice than to hold but to me I really prefer buying and holding a coin for a good profit in future.

^ No, that does not depend on what your confidant, you cant increase your potential profit if the market was drastically down and the market was in a bearish situation. I prefer to hold during the market down because even your strategy is scalping in trading will probably not work. Holding or trading are depend on the market situation, you can do trading when you see the market is in the bullish situation and hold when the market becomes in a bear position and probably that is the best choice at all.

Depends on someones capacity because not all would really be having the same skill and knowledge on dealing off with the market which means it would really vary on each one.

Some people do choose on holding instead of making daytrades which is actually that true that this isn't something simple that everybody could really able to handle out.

You are the only ones who could really make judgement and find out for yourself if this kind of trading technique or path would really suit out your capability.

It is a matter of choice and some would just like to make themselves easy and holding seems to be appropriate for these kinds of people. Traders are risk-takers, however, not all had survived, and even in holding because of some reason, it was their choice either.

I do try trading and holding, but what I'd find out that I wasn't good at trading...maybe because of limited knowledge and skill as the biggest factors that could affect the result and I would not recommend this to the community if you just like me. Because when we do trading, be sure that we are fully back-up with knowledge, otherwise, everything will be gone.

The best traders are known during the bearish seasons I guess since the bullish seasons makes every trader look good. During that season, the sentiment in the air makes you feel you know what you're doing. Any project can give you massive gains in matter of hours or days but that's not so in the bearish season which is why we see less of traders in the season and more or hodlers holding believe there are greener days ahead.

No doubt hodling is the easiest to do especially if you're not convinced of yourself been able to outsmart the market in a period when everyone is on the panic. But if I were a trader then I best believe this bearish period is the best time to use in perfecting my technique and putting my prediction accuracy to the test.

This too being pitted agains each other is a bit nonsensical to me bbecause they have a different timeframe, daytrading is on the short-term side of things while hodling is on the long-term side so they don't really meet halfway and they are basically different. They are both good it just depends on what your goal is, if it's short or long term that is.

This is split between your personal choice and your financial capacity since you cannot do the long term hodl if they are short in budget thats why mostly traders at this side doesn't do any hodling and always grab the opportunity to short trades then try to make their capital even more bigger. But its really good to hold especially we are now experiencing some bad dumps and we can get a opportunity to buy again while the price is so cheap.

Why do people always interested in making profits not considering that the way it might be easier to make profits is also the same way to lose or even blow account. The op is only considering the profits that could be made when one trade without bothering about loses which is impossible as a trader.

Both trading and holding requires risks which the investor or trader have to put in consideration before attempting to enter the market. Trading is never easy and it requires a lot of efforts and studying of the previous and present market conditions in order to place a winning trades. Also investing just like holding a particular asset requires risks and patience for a longer period of time to make good profits sometimes.

The tax you are talking about varies from country to country. It's not the same everywhere. I have heard there are some countries where crypto isn't taxed at all. Again, there are countries where if you hold for a certain period of time, you don't have to pay any taxes.
Day trading requires skills, knowledge and a lot of work. You need to keep yourself updated with the market every moment. The risk over here is high. If you don't cut losses, you might end up losing a lot. But in case of holding, the risk is minimum as long as you can keep holding till you reach your profit goal. You just have to invest, hold and forget about it until you are ready to sell.

I think it depends on everyone’s capability. The day trading you’re scared of doing, there are people who are doing and they will always choose it over HODL-ing. You are scared of the big taxes that will come from the short term profit, but these people are not afraid of it, because they can handle it by covering up. So, it’s totally different for everyone.For me, HODL is the key, and it’s what I have been relying on for long.

And also because I don’t have the time to be studying the market and being in front of my computer always. So you just have to stick with the method that’s working for you. Though it wouldn’t be bad to learn other things, because the more you learn, the more you grow.

Holding potential coins when the price is low is the best method for those who do not have the ability to trade on a daily basis, or do not have the skills. As for daily trading on the platforms, it requires you to have good analytical skills, along with reliable sources, so you can be successful.

Absolutely true but look this happens in pump and dump coins and you expect overall growth in good altcoins and Bitcoin of course. I mean if a coin jumps high and then comes down back, it is usually part of the pump or dump scheme or there is just a bull and bear run going on one after the other. Problem is that most of the traders will lose in trading while if they manage to just hold, they can at least guarantee small profits.

You can absolutely earn more in day-trading than holding but chances are that you won't sell at the peak every time and buy at the bottom which makes it hard for a regular trader to maintain consistency, whereas in holding you just don't have to stress all this.

I think the better option for investing has to be stocks since you may hold for a long time and for day-trading cryptocurrencies are the best option because of the continuous fluctuations. But that, if you have appropriate knowledge because I have tried it multiple times and day-trading isn't as easy as it might sound.

Yeah, I agree still I have seen guys who are able to squeeze smaller amounts every now and then and they make more money than a HODLer would make. It requires skills and some basic knowledge of reading charts though.

 The only negative aspect of holding is that you do nothing and get too passive. I mean if you have an enormous amount of capital to block then maybe you can invest because indeed still BTC is one of the best investment options but not a small trader can afford to block big amounts and avoid being fazed by the price drops that happen every day. As someone who has a smaller capital, I have to agree with OP and others that trading is not a bad idea, you have to put efforts and time into your trading but it is well worth rather than blocking your money and doing nothing.

The market is wide and there are many traders and investors inside, there are people who are willing to gamble and take the risk in a short period of time, those who knows and understand what they are doing, they are willing to work it out and ride with the current trend, rinsing over the market trying to find the best asset to buy then sell when the value rises up even in a small profits.

Remember that short trade is also part of the system, there are experience traders who managed to create good system to keep gaining from this volatile industry.

Trading is not for everyone! Trading requires some set of skills, you need to know what you are doing if you wish to be profitable in the long run!
Holding is for people who earn some cash and they wish to put part of it on a side... if you don't earn enough for your monthly needs, there's no way you can hold anything valuable on a side!

There is no special answer to this question that works for all! Simply many of us are in totally different situations, with different capabilities/skills/bankrolls/goals/... we are different! So searching for an answer that works for you is a must... research something, try it and practice it, learn about it and you will know what is what, and what is the best for you!

Not every coin held is liable for good profit and so you have to perform due research on the coin to hodl, moreover, day trading requires studying of charts daily wich sometimes I don't think everyone loves that a lot, holding gives investors that free mind that no matter the time.
This is exactly for those that had experience in day trading, no matter the condition of the market, they still uses the opportunity to get as much gain as they want, I will advise every investor to consider the best option for them, if day trading is convenient for them, then that's better.,if holding is appropriate, consider that.

I read about a decade long study on brokerage accounts to determine who the best performing account managers were.  Granted I am not sure how legit the study was or even if it was real, but I believe it...  Anyway, the study showed how different types of investors fair against each other to determine who the best class of investor was...

In the study they found that the best performing brokerage accounts were as a group the accounts where the owners had passed away.  The second best performing group, those who had forgotten about their brokerage accounts.

Make no mistake, there are bad day traders and lucky day traders.  Good day traders don't exist.  Trying to be one is like sticking an ice cream cone to your forehead and trying to be a unicorn.

Daytrading has no business with holding or investing in a particular coin. They'll have different aims and patterns in making profits in the market with different levels of risks which are involved. Trading a particular coin requires higher risks than when compared to holding which can generate profits after a longer period of time. Trading generate immediate profits likewise loses too.

Daytrading is the act of buying and selling of a particular asset in order to make profit. This type of trading involves entering into a market either buying or selling for couples of hours inorder to make a significant profit. Trades do not exceed a day interval.

Holding just like investing in a particular coin requires patience and time in order to make significant profit. This involves buying a coin be it Bitcoin or altcoin, and leaving it for long interval for it to appreciate before selling it back to the market to make a significant profit. The type of coin that is being hold determine the profit one will make from it. Some altcoins can give more than 1000% interest of initial capital.

In general, choose the way you think and feel comfortable. But I suggest to everyone to have a try because that is the only way to find what is appropriate for us, can't tell that this is good and this is bad if we never give some try with them. But for me, I often hold than trading. I consider the limited time to spend it the market and face on the computer that is why trading isn't fit for me. I just do trading when I have free time but I think it was not enough if we wanted to earn more and the chance that we might lose our capital. So believe that HOLDing is good in my situation.

I always prefer  holding instead of day trading because there's an assurance to generate sustainable profit in long periods of time. Sometimes, day trading would tend to disappoint us when we lose during fluctuations. It's not good for those who had no proper experience in trading, so to make it safe to trade, lets make holding as good alternative.

It is well known that trading as a strategy is more profitable than holding for the long term, those that prefer to hold are basically divided in two main categories, those that cannot trade and as such prefer to invest to earn money and those that simply do not have the time or do not want to bother with trading, investing can be very passive after you have done your due diligence but trading requires your attention all the time and despite the profits many are not ready to make that kind of commitment as they have another occupation which takes most of their time.

Indeed, for daily trading I think it is much more risky and for beginners of course need to learn if you want to do day trading,
talk about day trading and holding for me it can make all profit,
so it all depends on which one we prefer and for the long term of course holding is the right choice

Day traders don't get the time for their family  :D

This is a good summary of what holding and trading looks like.

Hoding just like it sounds is all about leaving a crypto coin after you bought it,  for it gain value before selling it back to the market. Usually it takes longer time for this to be achieved with patience. Good profits can be made after months or years of holding it but the problems most investors do have is, the best time to dispose it. This is a big challenge that had put a lot of investors into frustration and headache cause the best time to sell a coin after gaining much profits is uncertain. One has to be conscious without being greedy to sell back to the market anytime the urge to sell comes up.

Trading is full of ups and downs, checking the market charts everytime to know when to buy or sell. Trading is hectic and precise with lots of decision making to analyze accurately the future trend of the market. Trading is difficult, as in very difficult when compared to holding. It requires a lot of knowledge about how a particular market works, and also good profits can be made daily, weekly or monthly if pricdictions are slightly accurate.

You also have to be active most of the time in the market to check different types of indicators that may affect the market. Such as news, bad and good, and other indicators that you may seem to be good at watching. Holding is easy for those who do have a lot of things to do. You just have to choose and buy those potential cryptos that you may find and think that suit your investing appetite. And when you're good to go, you need to wait until it goes into fruition and the price for those cryptos you're holding are going to pump. Usually, the best crypto to hold is none other than bitcoin. You'll never go wrong having it as the best choice to hodl.

Things will depend on a person's skills and capability. He could do holding if he isn't able to do day trading or do both if he's skilled enough. Both have their risks but both could be profitable. As for me, it's still a good thing to learn about day trading while holding to take advantage of the market's volatility. It might take a long time to learn everything about trading but it's all worth it because it will be long-term benefits.

Daytrading and HODLing both have their own pros and cons and to be honest for me at least HODLing has given me more gains than day trading.
Day trading is not for everybody because many people tend to lose money in day trading.
Although many other day traders get good gains, statistically, HODLing has shown to give out more returns.
This is why many people prefer HODLing.

I think this depends on each individual. between trading and holding are both equally profitable, depending on how we respond to it. if we have good skills, then I think trading will be better, but there are also investors who do both, they are looking for short term and long term profits

Yes, sophistication and experiences have helped people fill their time with both methods, short and long term always coming together to stand side by side, arranging more time for favorite subject is personal choice, but must also make time for the remaining subject, profits that cannot be earned in the short term will be received from the long term and opportunities not present in the long run will be supplemented by the short term. The final link point is still the state of our property, it needs to be increased regardless of the method

Always make a trade where you are confident sometimes people are getting confused about where they trade. Some people say that stocks are good, some people say forex is better and some of them want cryptocurrency to just focus on one to avoid getting confused.

Also, it's not bad to make a trade for a hold and a day trade the difference is in holding always make a target price when you want to get a profit. In day trade always make know your goals unlike holding it's riskier because you are making a trade to volatile timeline unlike waiting for your take profit.

You can lose a lot by day trading. If someone isn't good enough in technical analysis and have no great knowledge on day trading, they will surely end up losing huge sum.
Now, your point is paying taxes on capital gain. Well, you have great profit, more ROI, I don't see problem paying high taxes. But people who hold for long time, they are most likely not having more knowledge and/or they believe their holdings will be on better position than current.
I don't do trade a lot. I too prefer long time holding and I prefer holding because I have little knowledge on trading and I believe specially bitcoin will be in better position. I have sold my BTC few months back. If I have greater ROI, why should I be thinking of paying taxes. I have to pay that certainly at some point.

Yeah it is true in most cases, the daily time frames have a better volatility compared to long term trades. The more volatility means more opportunities on the trending markets and you can easily catch small price movements in both flat&trending market patterns. The more you spend time reading news, charts and analysis the less time expected for family and close circles.  The life of day trader is horrible from time perspective, otherwise it is really profitable to watch market closely and make decisions based on moments. The bad moments will cost big but the good decisions will be very rewarding.

Exactly and it depends on you which you are prefered about. If you want less risk you can choose to hold and wait for a perfect time frame upon selling your coins to gain profit while in day trading, this is considered as a gambling process, because it is very risky and it needs more skills and knowledge upon making such decision, it could be wipe out your whole fund in just an hour if you dont know which coin is good to pick.

But both of them have different result and both have a different level of risk. You should know first which one you are sustainable on gaining profit.

I have to agree that trading is not for everybody even if you have knowledge on it, it's just that many still prefer to hold because that's more profitable for them and it works for them. You should assess the pros and cons of this two, what works for you can bring you good profit if you focus on it. I do prefer to hold because of my busy schedule and that's my biggest reason on not to trade that much, there's a risk but still manageable if it's for long term hold.

Day trading is only profitable when traders take it seriously and do their research.

hodling is important than in trading . what can you do when your coin is down , you dont want to lose arent you so you will stop trading but you will hodl it for a while or until the value returns for trading .
 not only tax but the fees is what makes us scared to do daily trade  .
 it will hurt you more if your capital is only small  and when we hodl we dont just hodl and close our eyes but we monitor the price and sell .

Thinking about long term trading is only good for established cryptocurrency, but it's too bad for those who have no proper community support. Just like the shitcoins of 2017 and 2018, it felt so devasting if I'm going to recall the past. How I wish I was a day trader that time, and never been fooled by several analysis that has no assurance to prosper. All those failures has ruined all good plans I had, but that also made me become much motivated.

Specifically, Holding is for those who just wanted to keep themselves out of stress. They are simply waiting for the moment that price is high and then sell their holdings.

But, for Trading, that is something riskier and this is not an easy job that everyone is able to do it. We are all free to try trading and we are free to leave as well if we feel bad about it. Many traders had lost their money because they underestimate trading which is not supposed to be doing. It is a need for deep market understanding and skill, unlike what we do in Holding.

Unless you really really need the money, just hodl and stack sats ;) If you have strong conviction, this is perhaps the single easiest and best strategy.

holding can still be stressful when you fail to meet your expectations . how do know if we are fit for trading if we dont try it but no one is born to be a good trader .
all started to face difficulty but its about how they strive and to not give up easily .

They if will listen to what people said, they are certainly be confused because we all have different opinions about trading. Just like you've said this one is good and this one is better, that simply makes people become undecided about what they choose. That it thinks that if we want to trade, then much better to try them all so we can verify ourselves which one is more profitable.

But if not, then holding could be the best option. All it needs to choose potential coins and it gonna be fine.

In my own assessment Holding is good advantage to those who have a lot of money, and to those who are lazy in doing
trade as well, while Day trading is good if you want to earn most often here in a short period of time. And perhaps, on day trade
there are a lot of members here who did this method anyway.

Holding are good for those with huge capital and can wait patiently for long term. Also for those who don't have enough time to do trading because trading needs a lot of time and knowledge to evaluate and analyse the market. Both trading and holding are profitable but it is still depends on your capital, type of tokens, patience and knowledge. It depends on what you are going to choose and you think can help you gain profit.

- Laziness and not many indicator techniques may be part of the holding choice but officially people are still paying more attention to safety as long as they accumulate in many good price zones of a potential coin, the odds of losing are extremely low while day trading is a constant hunt for price zones, promote perfection but it is very difficult for humans to approach this realm, big bears and hunters often switch roles and are very risky

Be a trader you have a system for getting in and out of trades. Having also a risk management system essential part in this activities, you should always be improving as time passes. It's dependent upon you, thus not suggest for all. Trading is not easy for me, there so much psychological pressure in fact it's the hardest thing.

You wouldnt able to discover on what kind of path are you good at if you wouldnt try.Just like when im starting, i did just plan to be a swing or long term holder but i do find out to be a bit boring on just waiting for some price swings do i decided to make some active day trades and it actually works for me but of course it did really take some time and effort.

Just stick into things that what interest you the most and of course you should really have that passion so that you wont really get bored once you are doing it.Its just a matter of passion and dedication on things that you do.

You dont need to choose one because you can always divide your portfolio in both sides.

I was a Holder and didn't day trade any of the cryptos but recently I actually had to change the way I invested in the cryptos. The recent volatility is kind of helping me to execute some good trades with altcoins. I also like to trade with a window of a week where I target to purchase them when it drops and sell them when they rebound.
I would say doing both will help you keep a good amount of profit both in the short and long term.

Holding is indeed very important, but knowledge of trading is more important. Why do we hold too long, of course, because we have two reasons, namely to reach a certain price and the other reason is to buy too high. analysis needs to be done before buying a coin. Holding and daytrading have an important role to be able to get profits quickly and for a long time.

If you have enough time to spare around the market, dealing with day trade allows you to earn decently. Once you familiarize yourself with how the market moves and what are those important information to follow when analyzing the situations,

Traders who works with both long and short terms are good in adjusting knowing that playing with volatility needs to have sets of plans for when that you've been caught behind, you still have other options in not to lose your investment.

Do your DYOR and start to build good system to expect what type of strategy is fit to use when you already place your investment.

high volatility actually give us real opportunity to earn profits both for short trade or long term invesment. buy and sell frequently in trading range that setted before will help us in which level we should enter and exit from market. With good skill, either short or long could be profits opportunity for us .

Given the current market and how volatile it is, you can really make profit on both ends, day trading allows you for a high risk high reward way of trading, but you need to be an experienced trader and know what to do since this a volatile market it is highly unpredictable and can change at any point, holding is always a safe way to make profit, especially with coins like bitcoin and eth which are known to be good to hold for the future, but with other coins it really depends on how ling you are holding them.

We need to choose where we feel we are comfortable. Many had underestimated trading and they end up losing. Something we need to understand the situation and we need to think smart. Surely we can risk our money because we are in crypto but we also need to act wisely as every mistake we've made corresponds to losses, and I know we don't want it.
I'd rather not compare which of them are profitable because that all lies in our hands and all of us have differences.

It's seems to risk of your money. But actually we are not doing so. It's the investment of money, after some days, it will refund your money. And you will realized, it had give your money with some interest. The important one will be, holding for the longer time. Till it crossed the buying price.

besides that day traders must have a strong analysis so that they don't make a mistake in selling or buying on that day...

the majority of people would prefer to just hold because they don't have the skills or enough time in trading and I think this is the best way for many people.

Both trading and holding is a good way to earn in crypto if you want to have earning every day then you need to do trading because in holding you need to wait for a very long time before you earn. I prefer to do both trading and holding depending on the coon, because there are fast moving coin that is good for trading and there are slow moving coin that is good for holding.

I don't think that it is a matter of long-term investing or intraday as they both have right to exist and both can bring profits.
The main thing for trader to make as much profit as they can is to have a strategy or at least some plan. The example that you mentioned is too theoretical especially for stocks. It is next to impossible for a stock to double its price within 24 hours. It is a very rare occasion. More than that, assume that the bitcoin price goes north all day long and by the end of the day it reaches the point of 150% of its initial price. The price usually goes steadily and slowly: imagine an intraday trader who sees that the price has gone 20% up. I bet that most of the short-term traders will take the profit and will not wait till the end of the day because he will be too afraid to lose these 20%.
That is why, it is not the timeframe which is most important here, but the trader's strategy and expectations.

Both of them are good and anything can work. People talk about ways that works for them. It’s not like you haven’t also seen traders that are saying day trading is far much better than HODL? So anything can work, if you believe that Hodl is the way to go for you, then you should focus on that and work hard towards cashing out through that method.

And moreover there are people who have tried to HODL and they never benefited from it, rather they end up losing so much more, even though the tax you have to pay for it is less. What matters the most is finding what would work the best for you before you talk about what next. If you find what works for you, then you talk about tax and how you can handle that.

The difference between crypto going 100% in 24 hours and having a long term investment is that you could make 100x return without realizing. My friend just got 3600 dollars from some investment he made in 2017 back in the day, he invested only 50 bucks to it, he didn't check it or looked at it ever since, he is that kind of long term investor that goes out and buys hundreds of coins in 50 bucks and just leaves them be, he has thousands of dollars in btc-eth-bnb but aside from that it is all 50 bucks investments to over 100+ coins, probably closer to 300-400 coins by now.

Most of them are around the same price now, some of them are very low, some of them are totally gone and do not worth cents, but there are those rare ones one or two here that made him a huge return, the 3600 return was just a chance but at the end of the day he still made it.

That's the beauty of the crypto field and not just the crypto field but taking advantage of a growing field and investing in a properly researched and verified project to be viabel coupled with having the ability to wait on it till it actually becomes something of real value.

Aside from actually investing in a particular project in the crypto space and having that patience to wait on it, you also need to try as much as possible never to forget the details to its accessibility. We've heard issues of private key or seed phrase been misplaced or forgotten and that sort of thing. For altcoins, it might not be Keys but, actually knowing that you had invested in a project stored away some place and the password to it is another vital aspect of getting the ROI for that investment otherwise, its worthless.

It's about how well you anticipate and how good you control your emotions, yes both are possible and workable, it will depend from how you execute your chosen system.

Daytrading take long time inside the exchange, you need to monitor the movement from time to time to make sure that you'll going to have better assessment and make things favorable to your position.

While with holding, it gives you more time to for your personal needs. as long as you are done setting up your target then you are good to go waiting for your assets to hit your position.

This is what eventually burns out those that choose to be traders, even if you are a winning trader it is widely known that many retire just after a few years of being on the market and the reason is simple, watching charts for many hours each day is something that we are not really made to do as humans, monitoring is not one of the strong points of humans and having to do this every single day for years is incredibly taxing to the point people cannot take it and eventually decide to become investors instead.

doing both of them will give us daily earning and long term earning. daily trade  could happen if we have good skill trading , and our market entry have lower risk and bigger profit opportunity. in daily trading we will find alot opportunity if we see support and resistancein chart , take it will give us profits.

Its not a good idea to do both equally .I think both are profitable but you have to be more wise on everything .I wanna say that you need to have vast knowledge on day trading even you need to have much amount but remember it is always risky .You can loose all you fund in a day if you don't set everything properly .On the hand holding is much easier than trading but you need to choose the right and potential project which can give you a good return quickly .So that it is better to hold coin if you are not good at day trading and much fund as well .

Behind every trading profit stands another user's trading loss. Likewise, behind every loss of one's own there is gain for someone else. Those who trade can deduct something from each of their profits or offset them against losses. It's because of the tax. As Hodler, we trust that cryptocurrencies will play an important role in the future. We focus on the future and plan investments for the long term.

Once tax will be imposed on all crypto holders, it will add something to the burden for all, not only for the holder but also for traders. if that time has come, it definitely changes their mind knowing that they can pay taxes more if they will hold a long time, and instead of earning some profit it looks like they will get nothing as they are paying taxes.

But anyway, I don't go that farther.
Daytrading and holding? Well, choose the thing that you think you can make a good play. Remember that not all holders are rejoicing after several years of holding, many get disappointed. And the same with trading were not all become successful.

You wouldn't want to do both on the same asset unless you have tons of money to spare. They move in both directions, and when they are down, you will most probably think of selling them even at a loss just to minimize the losses you will incur. The chances of you losing money in this move is greater compares to you just choosing one strategy to live with.

But of course it has its exceptions. If you are a good trader and you understand the market greatly, you will not be pressured to sell anything.

Well for me, holding this the key, even CZ of binance said it that if you can't hold, you can't be rich, I prefer to hold and forget about them in my wallet than trade, even if I was going to be making millions trading, I still will hold.. Sorry I definitely will trade if am very sure I was going to be making millions every month ;D  ;D, but then, as long as I have no assurance that am Goin to the making profit from trading, I will rather hold and wait for my target price to sell, this is based on my personal experience with crypto since 2015 I joined this space.

Time is the primary focus when holding, for some it may be shorter, but some will have to wait longer like what you have stated. And I agree, because it took me a long hard year before I profited with my holdings. My say is that patience and faith are what needed in holding, while knowledge is vital in trading. If one is weaker on the other aspects, then choose the latter, but either way both have risks.

I also think that doing both is going to be incredibly difficult and this is because you need two different skill sets that are completely opposite to each other, for example if you are a day trader then you need to take fast decisions and implement your trading strategy perfectly without any flaw, while a holder should not react to the small movements of the market and just accept that there are negative days, weeks and even months, as we can see the strategies run opposite to each other and doing both at the same time will be incredibly difficult if not outright impossible.

Does holding do need some separate skill set? You are just doing nothing when you are hodling this is why i dont see any problems if you do tend to do both things where you do have funds allocated
for Daytrading and you do have funds allocated or saved up for simply Hodling for the future possible gains.So you can actually do both if your time and funds permits you because it isnt really
that much difficult aside on day trading which it is something that everybody could handle out this is why majority is really ending up on holding because daytrading is something needing some skills
and experience throughout the market.

holding suitable for long term purpose, if we shoud do deep research we will find which project were worthed to hold for long term investment. and dont forget holding need good mentality which is used to face uncertain market and bearish market. some investors want to be long term investors but they didnt prepare this factors.

Holding is really long-term. You don't call holding if you're just doing it for the short time. That's why most people are telling to hold and that means that you must hold it for a long time and not for the shortest time that you can ever think of.

What you've said is true. There are investors that preferred to become a holder yet they are still uncaught by the market whenever they see a plummet. They're not prepared for it and just probably jumped into the bandwagon which made them realize that it's not an easy thing to do because they think that it seems easy but it's not.

You have to understand what you are doing, that's why it's necessary to make complete research before investing as holding might result in panic to an investor who has no deep knowledge about crypto. If an investor understands the volatility and manipulation, he would not panic in any situation, even in a bullish situation, he will remain focus on his goal.

If one is a good trader and has enough capital, there's even no question whether to trade or to hold. Trading will give more gains.

the main principle is to get rid of whatever will happen on the way is "panic", because it will make whatever you are about to do can change from predictions that have actually been carefully designed. we must know that in crypto everything can change quickly and there is nothing we can do about it.

Deep knowledge in crypto is really needed but experience in overcoming some problems cannot be ignored, because based on experience that we often do, then any critical thing will not make us "Panic", because that will actually make everything change without us can hold it.

Before deciding to dive into the world of cryptocurrencies, we must at least have capital knowledge about cryptocurrency,
either day trading or holding i think it can make profit and it all depends how we do it,
The cryptocurrency market is indeed very volatile and indirectly it can make us panic

More on doing your research before you move forward, the volatile nature of this market can serve as your friend or it may on the other side around,

Both long and short term investment will work depends from how you understand and how you aimed for your goals, lots of newcomers losses their money due to fears that they've encounter seeing that the market is not moving according to the directions
that they've anticipated and then take the  wrong decision and regrets after.

DYOR is always the key to lessen the chance of losing your money while you are inside this business.

Not always, it has been proven that holding may give you huge profit. Simple example is bitcoin itself, imagine if you buy few btc in the past when it was very cheap and you sell it when it is on its ATH. This give you so huge ROI.

The difference between daytrading and Holding is obviously about the time you spend for these two activities. You spend less time on holding but you need to wait long time to make decent profit. While trading on other side requires you to spend more time but you may get nice profit in short period of time.

right, it depends on the holder of the capital itself, between holding and trading, I think it's equally profitable, it's just up to the investor which one they prefer. especially in the world of cryptocurrencies, where price increases can occur drastically so we just have to take advantage of the bullrun moment if it happens

If you want long terms profit then holding is the best choice for you, because long terms profit are much as compared to short terms profit. And in other words if you want to get everyday profit and you can't wait for the long terms then daytrading will be a best choice for you. It depends upon the trader that what type of profit he wants to get.

The result will matter at your choice...
Holding are those who want a safer investment while trading is for those who can afford to lose their money every day.
Trading could be a long-term job, those people who live fully in trading could say it was not an easy journey for them but then, they will able to survive and surpass all the struggles because they want it and they are motivated enough.
If we don't have this kind of attitude, better to choose Holding, it gonna be an easier life for us.

If holding was as simple as to do nothing then those that bought at the end of 2017 for 20k would not had any problem to keep holding their coins even with the crash to 3k, and by the way the fact that we saw such a huge crash comes from people not holding their coins, if the majority did then we would have never seen such a huge crash as we did back then, so it is obvious that holding your coins is more than to do nothing, it has to do with understanding at a fundamental level that the short variations of the price are not important and being able to look past them, something the majority have shown to be unable to do as the continuous crashes in this market indicates.

long term invesment actually give same return if we make daily trade. In daily trade we could take open many times and if we expert in technical analsisy it could give us alot profits. personaly long term more suitable for investors that lack of technical or fundamental analisys. hold is simple strategy till its price soar.

I used to trade on an almost daily basis, most times I made a decent profit, around 7-9% of my investment. There was only once that I took a relatively large loss when Elon Musk got into Bitcoin. This wasn't the reason why I stopped trading though, its volatility was causing me anxiety and stress, and preferred to just take a break and find something else. I might get back to trading in the future, but for now, I'm in DeFi and yield mining.

Now, I only hold a small amount of BTC, which is simply set aside and not being used.

It is true that it depends on each of us, for sure day trading is not as easy as we imagine. In addition to the very high risk of day trading,
day trading also requires excellent analytical skills in reading the market. Because we need to read the market every day, and with volatile
crypto prices that makes day trading not easy to do. Especially for beginners in the crypto world, I don't recommend trying day trading.
Because it is certain that beginners can lose all their money if they force day trading.

I agree with you holding is the safest option to profit from crypto, because we only need to buy potential coins and wait for the coins to rise
to the target we set. The problem is holding must have patience and use the extra money we have. Because it is possible to get profit from
holding takes a long time.

long term is always the best especially if you have a large amount of money to buy a potential altcoins in the market.
I am pretty sure in the end or in the future we could get a big profit savings. This procedure or methods has been
proven and tested to all type of long term holders. Though, day trade is also a good thing to grow our coins in a short period
of time as well.

i think bynow that some exchange like binance add futures trading make trading can make profit even on bearish season, but it really depend on the people too, if they have much time to see the market trading will make more profit

Good in the short term but it will have a lot of loopholes in the long run as day trading activity always increases the challenge level with our working time, agree that the experience base will increase with this strategy but every day compete with such market, win may be small but loss is every time big, everyone's sharing is the basis for this result, almost all interest rates fluctuate very low while once lost will be the sum of all interest rates. Holding is more calculation on a big fight and not ambition on small battles every day, long time will allow for more complete preparation

Being both of options is really profitable, but you will need two basic knowledge and skills for that and it is difficult for me. As daily trader i must take opportunity fast without thinking over about it, i am selling and just sell it without no regret, and if im transform to be holder, i think i will dizzy consider this is worth or not.
So being daily trader still make me comfy until now, maybe along with time, ill be holder a bit as my investment.

all obviously have different skills and it could be that what you are experiencing is also experienced by many others, must decide whether to focus on one job that continues to be occupied or choose both to do. where it is clear that if you do both at the same time, there may be confusion in determining the same as you should act on what is the best.

what you do to focus more on being a day trader is of course a decision because you are used to it and have done it often. although in the current situation the market continues to be red which is clearly not so very profitable with day trading. but if practiced correctly even though the profit is small but routine will be the same as daily trading with moderate high traffic.
but investing is also not bad and the easiest to do but indeed there is no challenge to be able to make a quick profit because it depends on time.

This is something that people never consider but that it is quite important, very few people can day trade for long, some fail because they lose their money but even those that earn money cannot do it for long and it is precisely because of what you are mentioning, having to watch the markets every day and earn profits sounds great but once you begin to do it you realize how hard it is not only at a psychological level but the physical exhaustion is real as well, which means very few people can do it for long before getting tired of it.

I've tried both, but for me daytrading is to nerve wrecking.

right, the first time after entering the market, of course people will feel tired either physically or psychologically. but over time we will start to be able to enjoy it, our job is only to analyze and place transactions by placing targets and stop losses, so after that we can do other activities and wait for the final result. different from holding we can be more relaxed

Actually, day trading or holding has its own advantages. I think it all depends on the situation, if it is possible to hold it then it will be better. Personally when the market is unstable I choose to do Day trading and I try to make a profit from it. But I also hold coins that I think have good prospects so I will wait until the price goes up even though it will take a while. So I did both and I think it's pretty good. I learn from experience and continue to learn so that I can become a successful trader or holder, where I can get big profits. Losses must exist because it has become one of the risks and it is true that we have to be more careful.

It's probably more than just the situation, it's more of a how are you as a person when it comes to investments because if you don't exactly know how you are for long-term or short-term then you will end up choosing the wrong thing of the two which is going to be unprofitable for you.

Daytrading is something you should have to manage the market on the dynamic way where does essentially implies that you would require time and appropriate exertion for you to manage unpredictability. It discover to be less secure and this makes a few group to outflank in exchanging yet rather to decide to simply hold as it were.

There is no doubt that there are many people that at first will find trading hard but then as they get used to it they will begin to get accustomed to and they will be able to make trading their main profession, but there are many people that despite being able to generate profits cannot do it anymore and that is because day trading is an incredibly exhausting activity, this does not mean that they will leave the markets completely behind and most likely they will become positional traders that only make a few trades each month.

And that also can result with a good experience and lesson if that person who ended up badly wants to take another try.

It's important to distinguish your focus on the market, as a day trader or a holder. Everyone can be an easy holder but not an easy trader since it's requiring more actions than the usual holding.

Probably it depends on personal taste, the more you trade the easier it gets to feel the next market trend on smaller timeframes. Holders can make the same ROI in few months with the day trader who spend his time to analyze the market staring the screen for long hours. Focusing on the market and letting the market bring you whatever it can is easier for all types of traders. HODL and long term trading are two different phases, the HODL can be a lot longer than few years but long term trading can be adjusted based on the market and portfolio performance, IMO.

Well, they are both the same that you can get ROI, but the difference is the time frame when you can get it. If you want to hurry to see your ROI, trading is the best part of you than investing and hold for a long time. They had always opposite reactions because trading is very risky while investing is less of a risk. However, there are too many people who like trading than investing even though they know that the risk to too high in trading as far as the ROI will potentially get if you are very lucky.

Well, the day trader gets for example 30 pips a day(for simplification) while the swing trader gets the 1000 pips per month just for following the trend. If the trend is up and there is no enough correction to trade the best option is to join the trendmakers instead of scalping on smaller timeframes. Regarding the risk, it is risky to wait for reversal and cut the losses on small timeframes compared to long-term well-planned trades, IMHO.

The more we trade commission paid to broker, exchange becomes bigger and add the commissions to the total loss at the end of the week. For the lower commission, long-term traders will get a higher return on the investment while you will waste your time staring at the screen as a day trader. Sounds like a fair deal for whales but the situation is a bit different for small investors.

In short, it all boils down to your skills in trading, if you have the skills in day trading and you have proven yourself that you can be profitable, then we can assume that day trading is more profitable for you as the market is so volatile and you have more opportunity to make profit compared to holding or long term trading.

So you choose what makes you comfortable.

Are you going to be a day trader or be a simple holder that just watches the market's situation without any need to panic if it starts to drop a lot.

Well, many have already tried to become a holder and it's been worthwhile with all of those experiences that I've got from it.

It is not debatable because we all have our own way on how we wanted to deal with our investments .

Daytraders usually the people we can call as Risk takers because they can let their money goes with unexpected outcomings.

Holders Usually the people that loves to risk but willing to wait and this is much safer than the first.

And it is our decision which one we feel we are better at and we can perform so well.
I'll take them both but base on my experience, Holding is best for me as I kept on losing in trading no matter I choose reliable coins. Trading needs more special skill and depth of market knowledge and I know that not all of us have that stuff.

Holding might think it was so easy, but mostly we find it wrong because if you are also an impatient person, it definitely a big struggle for you.

I can't trade well, then what i do is only holding. Honestly i don't know what taxes is, because in crypto market i think day trade and holding have same percentage about fees, if not want to pay less we can be taker which we who put order and let others take out our order and be maker.

Traders jump in and out of stocks in weeks days and even minutes with the goal of making short term profits they often focus on the technical factors of a stock rather than a long term prospect of traders holding is the best way to move forward and how traders can make a profit from this move. Here you can hold the currency of your choice there is no possibility of reduction if the price increases you will get profit.

If am to compare Daytrading and Holding in terms of risk and rewards involved,  Daytrading has a component of high risk and high reward while Hodlers take the low risk and low reward which many of us see as the undesirable and long route.

Besides not knowing  how to trade or not wanting to trade, holding could also be considered less stressful and a safer option as you don't need to be looking at charts regularly or required to have the technical knowledge on how to go about it.

Depends upon the experience though but I do agree with you.

I remember I tried daytrading and risked about $100 worth of BTCs and I lost like $20 in the process. I mean, the sky's the limit in terms of potential income. But the risk attached to it is really not worth it in my case especially that I was just a beginner.

HODLING, on the other hand, presented me with huge success so far. I started HODLing some of my BTCs back in 2017 and its price just skyrocketed on its own. Unfortunately, I sold most of my BTCs before it reached the $20,000 mark but it still presented me with some profit at the end.

Holding is best for those who has not so much time tobread charts, project sentiment and specially for those who has not much time like me.
However daytime trading is much beneficial than Holding. I use daytime trading when free .

Yes either day trading or holding it can make profit and it depends how we usually make profit,
besides that the coins we have will affect our strategy,
let's just say if we have bitcoin and ethereum I think it's better for us to hold on to long term

If you do both, it's still good for you, if you are good in short-term trading, I'm pretty sure you are better in long-term holding or investment. Enough knowledge of the market will bring you profit in the long run, and if you try to master, you should master day trading as due to market volatility, day trading would always bring more opportunities to make money.

Long term trading takes years for you to earn, at least we have to be conservative as the best market situation where we can maximize our profit is on a bull run, and you might still not be satisfied with what you earn when that time comes due to your small capital, but if you keep growing that through day trading, you can easily achieve your target profit.

You are right. Everyone has their own way of trading. They have a technique they like and what they think is best. I myself am always learning now I use three techniques, day trade, weekly and arbit. Of the three techniques it must have a profit and loss target management. It aims to reduce failure. In addition, emodi control is also very influential in trading. Don't be greedy, don't be in a hurry, if you can't control it all you will lose.

Well i think most times it depends on individuals, like you already said to person who can't trade, holding is the best for them because there have no option, if there trade there will accumulate more loosing trades. For a person who knows how to trade might earn so much from trading due to his experience and the market decision, such a person might earn huge from trading than holding.

Daytime operation income is 50%, holding income is 5%. This is very likely to happen, and I call this kind of forecasted return a legend.

The fact is that if we continue to trade, the return is indeed not as high as the long-term holding return. The trading turnover rate is generally 100%-200%, and there are often many wrong decisions in such frequent operations.

So in my trading philosophy, I will choose 2-3 value coins and keep them, regardless of price or fluctuation, and put them in my wallet. After 2 years or longer, I will reconsider whether to continue holding. This is what many veterans told me about their experience.

I want to say that if you want to get more profits in this market, you must hold it for a long time.

Trading is hard and very little traders can get success with trading. You must be an expert in trading to gain from your tradings. If you are not professional and experienced, disciplined, you will get loses.

The more time you spend to trade, the more faults you can make.

You should have a max hours each day you stay in front of the screen and look at chart.
You should have a max number of trade each day.

Win or lose, after you reach the max (hours, trades), that day is finished and you should do other things, stop trading.

What you do is HODLING, not Trading.

- Flexible time can be a plus but you should also consider the details of our knowledge, quite a lot of people here have flexible time, even a lot of time each day to attack the market but instead of achieving positive results, scratches are a very negative result every day, a few scratches usually don't matter much but in the aggregate over a week or a month it would be a number worth considering. Straightforward, no knowledge and no confidence, hitting hard on persistence is better with holding

The risk that is involved in day trading and holding is different and need enough knowledge for one to day trade than to hold. A lot of trader had lose funds due to day trading because it requires consistent charting review in analysing the market to know the direction of trend.

For one to be a good day trader, there is need to be knowledgeable in both fundamental and Technical analysis. This help to predict future market movement by using both the information from the news and price action with indicators to analyze the market future movement. Most successful cryptocurrency trader have gone through this stages and had become a guru in market analysis because of their consistent in taking trades and executing it.

Life has more things to do and enjoy than only trading and keep your eyes on the screen.

Moreover, the chart of Bitcoin from coinmarketcap (see 7D time) (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/) with the fall and rally in last 7 days is very good example that hodling is better than trading.

Price falls and rallies, if you hodl, don't keep watching chart and screen every day, you would not panic selling. Then you will not lose your Bitcoin and price is still fine enough. 7 days ago and now, price is the same.

Trading with fearful is bad and only steal your capital and your Bitcoin.

There is the possibility to have a positive ROI in both the difference strives that in trading you are taking a more active approach and the risks are higher but the potential ROI is higher as well, while if you choose to become an investor then your approach will be more passive, your risk will be lower and the ROI will be lower as well, which to pick? The one that fits you better as neither is easy, but the difficulty level of trading is quite high especially if you choose to become a day trader.

You are right. Day trading is actually very dangerous if the trader has little knowledge about trading. In most cases, the main attraction of new traders is day trading but most of the traders lose their capital by doing day trading. So you must have the ability to do market analysis before doing day trading. And you have to be careful enough to hold any coin, there is a possibility of profit if you hold potential coins by doing proper research.

Day trading is risky in terms of user mistake, it's easy to fail at trading, one wrong move, and you could easily end up losing your money. However, I don't see why holding isn't risky, it's unpredictable, while you could easily wait many years (See Bitcoin), for the price to rise. On the other hand, with trading you can earn despite the price being lower than the anticipated.

I have experienced both. Have done a wrong move with wrong prediction. And missed to earn profits by not selling when the coin i held was on its uptrend. Market can move at any direction at any time. Be up to date on the coin where invested. Keep watching the trend's move, so that can avoid loosing profits. Experience will strengthen oneself.

It is easy and most common choice to hold if you don't want to do that much activity in your day to day living. Day traders rely on that activity and you're required to have a good amount for your capital that you shall roll as you continue to trade from day to day.
In holding, yes, that's easy and you need to wait until the price is high and you're not needing to be the same as day trading's activeness because you're only waiting and it's like a waiting game and whoever is the most patient and wise in choosing the selling price always get a good profit.

Day trading has also an advantage during green market, you can play with buy and sell during fluctuations. Long term holding can be very rewarding if you're going to have the best coins in the market that potentially could provide us better future, by the time it obtains the highest profitable value in the market.
I couldn't choose any of them, because it's all by preferrence of anybody who choose which fits on their trading plans.

when the market is green, maybe this time there are many opportunities to make a profit. but this is also not as easy as we imagine, because I have to calculate the risk and reward, and still often touch the stop loss and end up not getting a profit. different from holding, where I just wait to see until I make a profit

Market on the dynamic way where does essentially implies that you would require time and legitimate exertion for you to manage instability which it would require for you to go head to head toward the front of a PC and managing thing. They hold for reasons unknown and one is that to delay until the following Bullrun will come, it requires months or a long time contingent upon the circumstance. The beneficial thing about holding is less pressure for the holders, they simply sit and trust that the ideal time will sell and make a benefit from it.

But you are only seeing the short term, day trading can only give small profits over the short term but when you accumulate the profits over the same period of time in which you were holding your coins then day trading comes up ahead, this may bring the question why then people prefer to hold instead of being day traders and make a fortune? And this is because people cannot do it as day trading is incredibly hard and it requires a great deal of attention and time and many people do not have that and prefer to hold instead.

indeed many do not want to bother too much to watch the movements of each moment of the trade but there are also those who really enjoy it that way. everyone clearly has a different character and cannot be equated because everyone does it based on the experience they have and like.

but I agree with your opinion that I prefer not to worry about what will happen by holding on in the long term because we can be sure that it will always be profitable because there will always be renewable ATH and never will there be a decline.

but if anyone wants day trading, it's also not wrong as long as trading is actively, so that they can get the difference they are looking for, if currently experiencing a correction, of course, not much is expected.

Not all markets permit day trading as such, alts tend to be more generous but BTC not so much. That is not to say that it's impossible. In addition, to the market conditions not many people have the time to watch the trends for day trading which is why they take the longer approach of holding.

Also, holding is much easier, doesn't take much effort and does not require market analysis, the opposite goes for day trading which is why there's a big gap between the two options.

Stop loss is just good for those who do actively or day trades but if you are a type of swing trader then it wouldn't really be just needed because price swings could easily trigger out those SL's which I don't

see for it to be worth because breaking even with those lose positions would really be hard.So if you are intending to hold for long term then better not to stress out yourself on this one.

Day trading isn't something for everyone and this is why some people do end up on holding just because they aren't really that risk taker on dealing with the market actively.

Basically, both in red and green, we can have the opportunity to earn profits. However, in the green market, it can be easier to predict the price fluctuation on most crypto coins. Sure, there are more opportunities in the green market since the demands to buy are increasing signifincatly. So, most crypto price can increase fastly just in a short time daily.

Of course, the green market doesn't guarantee that you can earn profits. It is all about how your strategy and how well you set your target (profits or selling price). If you use a proper strategy and set the selling price wisely, you should take profits. Remember, don't be greedy!! Because greed can lose the opportunity to take profits.

As according to my opinion holding is best for those who have the quality and strategy to hold and they don't have so much daily expenses. Whether a person with much daily expenses can't hold. So, i think daytrading is much beneficial for the people who don't have much money.

This is true, not all markets are the same there are subtle differences among them, however if someone is willing to use leverage then almost any market becomes tradable, there is only one big problem and we know that when people use leverage they have the tendency to lose way more money than what they wanted because they are not prepared to use leverage trading as only experts know how to manage their leverage while still securing the capital.

I am exactly in the same boat, but for different reasons. Most of my money (nearly all) is in long term investment, I have nearly all my money in btc/eth/bnb right now, with very very small amount in 10-20 different things, I say 10-20 which is a lot of difference because there are like 3 above 100, and 6 above 50, and maybe 10 above 20 dollars, the other 10 is under 20 dollars and just totally nothing to me even though I have under 3k right now total.

With all that said, I still have about 100 bucks that I keep on trading, I like it and that is why I do it, think of it like gambling because at this point I do not see any difference between me trading and me gambling since I am that bad at trading, I got lucky this year because everything was going up, but normally I am very bad at it, which is why I do not trade too much, not because I do not like it, I would prefer to be trader if I could, but because I can't do it, hence why I am a long term investor.

Both are beneficial if you have the money even on trading so have a good capital and you’re good. Holding might be not good if you just have small money but that’s ok, as long as you are consistently investing your money no one can stop you from that. Day trading is good for those who have the time, holding can also be considered as trading if you so it in short term.

In my opinion holding will be beneficial, but it also depends on the trader how can he manage it and what circumstances he is using and applying. For me holding is beneficial because I had get much benefit in holding as compare to day trading in the recent years.

I am much more impressed by the HOLD strategy. All the same, it is much easier to study the market, understand how it works, where technologies are developing, and then make a choice in favor of certain products.
In trading, you are always running on the edge of a knife, stumbling and losing money in the process. In the case of investing and understanding how everything works, you greatly reduce your risks.

Trading might be the fastest way to gain money, but it's on a condition that you need to be smart and good in trading,  however, in buying the holding, this one is quite easy that anyone can do, it does not require skills, basic knowledge only and trust on the coin they are buying, that's enough to use this simple strategy.

Before I'm a fan of Hold until some of my coins didn't have now any value so I do focus now on trading and taking some profits to use to buy for other investments. Holding Company s good for BTC and projects that can be good in the future but let's face the reality now for other altcoins that only last in months or only get hyped once.

I love trading but cannot advise anyone, especially day trading. This is painstaking work that takes a lot of energy and strength.
You never know for sure how your day will end, you always have to be tense and worried about uncontrollable losses. I would prefer to advise investments and holding, it brings a very good income.

Fastest way? depending on how a certain trader would really be doing this and there are people who doesnt really like to get their hands wet and would rather choose on holding.
This is a personal preference because not all would really be that skillful or good on making trades. Its up to someones choice neither he holds or not because
its their money to use or spent and if they lost then its their loss not ours.We do have different decisions in life to take.

It's not that easy to say investment for long term for those people who's always eager to take the returns of their investment as quick as they wanted. Mostly the mindset turns out to be fast generating, but there's no business like that, unless you're in a ponzi scheme. Day trading promised that kind of passive income but the risk was too big compared with holding. If you wanted to apply holding, you need to have self control in order to survive for years being a trader.

It's okay to trade.

And while trading, you can have your investments with you. As you wait for your investments to grow, you can have your trades most of the time and when the right time comes for your investments.

That's the good income taking that you're saying.

I learned in a course I took a long time ago that most active stock traders end up losing money in the long run, and that becomes more likely the more they trade.  One of the reasons for that (at least at the time when I took the course) is transaction fees, but with zero-commission brokers that exist nowadays, I don't think that's much of a factor.

But the main reason people lose money trading is because they have no idea what they're doing, even if they're confident they do.  Markets don't always do what you want them to, and they have a habit of doing the exact opposite in fact.  Over the long run, however, the stock market generally provides good returns to investors who hold onto whatever they invested in (assuming it wasn't a crap stock to begin with).

As far as trading crypto goes, I think it's a total crapshoot.  There's nothing to analyze in the crypto market.  The price of any given coin is based on its popularity (demand), rumors, occasional news, and not much else.  The only coin that's probably going to do well in years to come is bitcoin itself, and even that isn't a guarantee.  Personally, I'd prefer to stick to the stock market.  At least with some stocks, you can get income in the form of dividends, whereas bitcoin provides no such thing.  But hey--to each his own.  If you enjoy trading bitcoin or altcoins, go for it.  Just know that it's basically gambling.

Holding realy works for me. Not sure where I stand. It has only been 10  years since I started buying crypto but sure feel like many years. At the beginning could not buy enough of them and later regret not selling during the harsh downturn. Now,  I'm glad  I held on to them. So the answer for me is weather bull/bear makes no difference. I have no plans to sell anytime soon.

I tried daily trade and lots of liqudation i got. I am not that person i would rather to invest long term like 6m-1Y. Its less drama for me. Also in futures, success is only 3%. 3 people takes 97 people money. If you are in that 3 awesome

Holding is not even as easy as imagined. Holding requires a strong mentality and high self-confidence and performs an analysis first. It's not just buying coins and being left behind. Buying coins for holding should buy at the best price to maximize profit. Holding is a long term strategy. Use free money for long term holding it will be safer. for day trading, it requires good trading analysis skills to determine when to enter and exit when it is profitable. it is done repeatedly or commonly referred to as the scalping method.

In day trading, day traders try to make money from instantaneous price movements and trends rather than holding overnight. Day trading is dangerous but it may be beneficial for those who succeed. Whereas in holding investor have a longer term vision. They seek higher returns by purchasing and holding cryptocurrencies for an extended period of time.   

Long term holding is the best process of making profits than daily trading.In day trading, it is often seen that the price goes down suddenly after buying a coin, in which case you have to wait until you get a price increase measure. In that case you lose a lot of time instead of profit.

Holder will say: Holding is much better than trading, and holder is fewer risks
Trader will say: Trading is much better than trading
Both will say: Both trading and investing will be worthy and less risky, many profits as long as we know the right choices to pick the coins, decide the right time to buy and sell, and also the understanding of coins with strong fundamentals.

When you are just simply holding then there would be lots of time that you would waste up on making profits rather than on just simply holding but there are people who are really afraid to take risk this is why they do really end up on this kind of option.

Not all would really be that good on making trades and some is just really afraid to risk but they could eventually take risk if they do intent to make profits although its not really that an assurance.

Its a personal choice depending into your capacity.

What makes Holding the best option is that the risk of loosing your capital is minimal as compared to trading. Trading is too risky especially if you don't have good knowledge and the mind to face music that come with it. If you are not too press to make use of your investment capital then buy and hold is the best and safest option I must say.

This is something that those that recommend trading over long term investing do not mention that it's really important, trading is a full-time job, if you already have a job then it is very unlikely that you're going to be able to trade while you are working, so you either trade on your free time in which case it's no longer free time and you are basically working two jobs or you quit your current one, but fortunately for those that are long term investors this is not a problem and they can do both.

Personally, I believe that in order to trade successfully, you need to love to trade. I'm not a big fan of trading, I don't like shorting, I don't trust exchanges, I don't like the constant tension associated with waiting.
I will lose a lot of money until I understand how to trade correctly, so I choose investments for myself. As a rule, long-term investments very often bring very good returns.

I think both topics are very important regarding trading. In day trading we take entries multiple times. When we get some profit we exit from this trade. In a day we take we entry in market multiple times and exit. But in holding we hold coins for short term or for long term. In holding there is a high risk of market crash and takes long time for recovery. But sometimes we get huge profit through holding.

maybe hold suitable for most investors type and trading only for person that have good skill in technical or fundamental. hold for long time be easiest strategy to get profits while we didnt have skill in analisys and also we make our investment as side income so psychology and emotion will maintain well.


time and experience will tell us in which type actually we are. and now you find the kind investors tha suitable for your self. need to remember each person will have different trading type , some of them could be longterm trader and some one else as daily or short time trader.

Just holding does not mean that the holder should not watch the trend every day. Either you hold or do daytrading, its one's duty and responsibility to watch out for the trend of the coin where he/she invested and get himself updated on the coin. If this is done so, there wont be days to skip or miss the celebration moment.

But by just holding, you're not going to catch up with whatever loss you've made. Instead, you're going to buy whenever a crash happens and you have to make sure that you're not going to sell at any price since you're holding and will only sell if it's necessary and you're already in profit. That's the essence of holding, even if some market crash happens, you're not going to panic and you'll wait for the price to recover so that you can sell again at the right prices thus, you're really going long and wait for years to see how much you've made after those years.

And this is something stressful even if you are just a holder specially if you do look into charts or price on active manner which might result for you to make out some decisions which arent intended for you to do so.
Daytrading is more risk since you would really be dealing with active prices or movement of it and thats why some people do opt on holding instead but doesnt mean that you would guaranteed profit either.
It would always vary or depend on the market on where it moves and as a day trader this is something which cant really be done by everybody.It would take years of experience and sufficient knowledge before
you could able to make yourself sustainable.

looks like you didnt set your trade position in rigth place if got many liquidation, long term investment could give better way to manage the risk . maybe if you want to accumulate your loss in future trade , it could used to buy another coin in spot and will give profit in near time.  6 months or 1 year was ideal time invest , we will see how dev team developt their project so attract new investors.

what you have also experienced I have experienced when starting trading, the most unpleasant thing is waiting, this is a kind of work in vain but actually that is what trading requires. loyal to pay attention to movements when it's time to buy or let go so that there is a price difference that we will get. it takes a lot of patience to do this especially when there are not many trades, the waiting is tedious. but investment is also not a bad thing if done carefully it looks like the final value will be the same, profit.

Day trading and investing both take enthusiastic teach to be fruitful. This implies you'll ought to be able to overcome the fear of loss or energy of picks up amid the time skylines you've got given yourself. The decision-making handle for a day exchange can be very diverse from a long-term investment—there are distinctive aptitudes and identity characteristics required for each strategy. The key distinction between the two is that day exchanging needs more consideration all through the day, where investing requires less checking and plenty of long-term persistence. It depends upon the person needs also.

- The law of boredom is filled with other jobs and once we have started trading, the work that will be filled in that empty space is still trading but instead of reverting to an old rule, we look for a new one and reduce our patience and increase our speed, no more discomfort and hassle when it comes to day trading, it's fun to make money every day but in reality, many people have underestimated the value of holdings. The boring demand is to let their mind be at ease for profit taking while being busy with daily work only makes us unable to manage our emotions.

This skill is very much needed in this case I think all need good teaching that must be done, to overcome the sense of loss in this case we must be able to anticipate in the future if it happens and how not to repeat it again but with experience you will know all about what long and short investments should be made, which one you have power in this case whether day trading or futures.
But for me both of them must be learned and most importantly holding bitcoin is much better than now compared to daily trading which must require daily analysis.

In long term investments, they are for real that they're more rewarding if you know what to invest that shall be good enough for long term. In day trading, I also don't like it when I've tried it. That realization is that day trading isn't just for me, there's too much mechanics that you need to understand and learn so that you can cover the day to day profits and recover the losses that you might encounter from doing it.

Holding seems to be more better to the majority, holding doesn't require much like day trading, in holding all you do is to look for a better entry point to buy up and hold for a long term without doing any analysis or going back to check on the price at every minutes or hour, so this simply states that holding is less stressful to investors while day trading is seems to be complicated because it requires you being on your PC looking at prices more frequently and making analysis and not everyone could actually do that.

For those that cannot do technical analysis, I agree that holding is the choice.

Trading can be complicated for those that don't want to dive in with it because  there are too many things that you have to understand. Since you're already taking the risk with it in short term.

Might be better bringing it up long term.

To me, honestly, one cant go without the other. I split my money 70/30 Hodling/trading. all the gains will be reinvested. this way, I can only win. In case I lose from trading, my hodling stays untouched. Every Month there is a certain amount that goes 70/30 into both again, trading and hodling. And as I believe chances are high that BTCUSD (https://de.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/) will go to 60k again, I  am comfortable with holding and trading longs the same time... Have a chart if you want (https://www.tradingview.com/x/AoXcTSSa/)

Holding or trading certainly has its own difficulties,
but indeed in trading is not as easy as we think because it requires experience and a knowledge,
if you don't have that, I think it's very risky if we are desperate to trade because we will most likely lose money

I think I would prefer a holding strategy. Big risks will bring us to big profits and vice versa. apart from the profit point of view. but when viewed in terms of time it seems that daytrading is far superior. apart from that holding has been recognized for its greatness by most people because the profits can be really fantastic. An important point that should not be forgotten when holding is patient, because we are in a race against time.

Which by the way true for everything else as well, most of those that want to trade are interested in only one thing and that is to make money, and while that is not wrong at the same time they will never be able to compare on their performance to those that actually love trading, trading is incredibly hard so you need to dedicate a lot of time to the activity and only those that love it will do so as it is something they like, increasing exponentially the chances they have of actually making a fortune in the markets.

Holding is risky but not as risky as the traders take. But in terms of rewarding, holding is more rewarding than trading. And that factor you've said about holding which requires patience, many of us learned how to be patient for years since when the market got into the bears.
We really have survived that moment and made us stronger and became more of a holder than just the typical holder that panics when he sees the market don't look good.

Holding big coin like Bitcoin and Ethereum in long term is what you will choose if you cant read the candle, its still profitable.
Trade intraday too difficult, need much accuracy and a lot of experience on it. I am still learn myself to be daily trader, and i realized that is hard to do.

it is clear that for coins such as bitcoin and ethereum how long we hold it will always be profitable because the price of their coin can certainly create a renewable ATH price. so many are indeed long-term investments in bitcoin and ethereum, although nowadays day trading is also quite tempting if done well. but if the trading situation is active, it is clear that daily trading is very profitable because the price difference is quite good every hour / day.
so it just depends on where we are going to do it because if it's serious it's just as profitable,

Holding BtcUsd (https://de.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/) is only profitable, if you started at the right time... Whoever bought at 54k will for sure not be on your side :D

holding or daily trading both have their respective advantages. I think the most important thing is how we use the money pattern. trading or holding can be done simultaneously according to skill ability. but it's back to each choice

Indeed. Holding is the best way when you have a coins that is good for long term. Holding is more profitable than daytrading since the level of risk is much lower. Day trading and HODLing are some of the common ways most people use. They are not the same.
Daytrading requires a substantial amount of your time because you have to be very aware of news and happenings in the crypto space, and also price changes and that was very struggle. If you decide to hold, choose a coin that your comfortable with its functionality and the technology behind it. You can invest your prepared money without much regret if you lose it. Daytrading gives you high risk since it is daily basis while holding gives you less risk since you can evaluate and manage your risk to earn big amount of profit.

I can say that day trading will give you much benefit but you have to be stable in day trading because the more chances of profit in day trading there, then there will be more risks of losing. And as well as in holding there is less risks of losing and more opportunity to get profit. Now, it depends upon your daily needs.

As long  as BtcUsd (https://de.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/) stays above 43.968 in the daily, I am still bullish. find my pov view as a chart here (https://www.tradingview.com/x/m4OnAIY3/).

I am not say daytrading is bad but i'm not really into it. Sometimes i do future, but only in really small amount money like $10-$20. And for my main capital i do holding, usually really strong enough but mostly i sell before big pump because already happy to gain profit from in price what i bought, so both trading activity is good if you know how to maintain it.

HODL is hard if you’re not making any real profit along the line playing slave to the market and therefore whales manipulations. Let’s have more progressive conversations. If you’re looking to earn some profit while you HODL then do some research on mining rigs, staking and crypto whales. It’s the game changer. I’m currently up 55k on my crypto portfolio just today

not everyone can do dayly trading well, even I say maybe there are still many who are still learning here. it's different with holding, which many people probably do. but for those who want to get results every day then day trading is indeed the answer. Therefore we must continue to learn if we want to master it

Daily trading vs Holding, I choose holding. I think, daily trading can't get more profit by daily but if you can buy Value coin and long term holding then you can get more found in future. Now Bitcoin and Ethereum are more valuable and rising coin in crypto market. You can buy those coin hold long time.So, I prefer to hold.

Intraday Trading is hard at times. I prefer the Daily timeframe for my entries. In case BTCUSD (https://de.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/) closes above the candle from Aug. 9th. then I will add to my HODL position. What do you think? See the Chart (https://www.tradingview.com/x/rxVkXZ3s/)

in daily trading, a trader can spend all day in front of the market, because they always monitor market movements and wait for their analysis area to be picked up, even as soon as possible if they feel enough profit they will get out of the market. many strategies for reading the market they use, and everyone will be different in reading candles and applying the analysis. This is the opposite of holding, where investors have a lot of time to do other activities

Some will say it's hodling but think about it, if you become proficient with trading, you can actually make more money out of your portfolio compared to just hodling since you are active but it's really difficult to be proficient to the point that you don't experience any losses.

Yeah, that's a fact in trading. But do you think that you'll be able to attain that profitability most of the time? as you've said if you're good but even those good traders, they're also having a bad day. It's your choice, if you're good at trading then use that skill that you have. You have learned from it and you invested your time to be a good one. In holding, you don't do a lot yet it's very rewarding. Both are good sources if you're good at it and both of them require a lot of patience. There are also that are both gifted, has a good trading capability and has a big portfolio on hold.

Becoming a day active trader is something that do go full time on dealing with the market on where you would really be needing to check charts from time to time and it isnt really for everyone to deal off with.
You would need specific level of skills and knowledge to become one and not just diving in without proper knowledge and experience because once you do then you are just simply putting yourself into big risk
If you are in passion on dealing with active movement then its your choice but this is something you cant get nor familiarize in a short span of time.

My personal opinion is that if you are daytrading crypto for any other reason than to harvest tax losses then you are only creating profits for the exchange and will likely end up missing out on the mother of all rallies while you try to capture small gains.  Doing this will likely result in you being audited, or if the government changes the 30 day tax loss harvesting rules to include crypto, you could be looking at legal repercussions.  In short, lots of people dream about making huge returns daytrading.  However, of all those I've known who have traveled down this road, nothing but disappointment was ever reached.

If you are not a good trader and you have confidence on the coin you bought I think you should hold it if you are good at analyzing the market then you can try day trading if you managed to have good successful trades you will be earning good profit in the long run, another risk for holding is that you are not sure if in the future the coin you have bought will pump.

I think this depends on each person's needs. for those who have small capital and often meet impromptu needs so they are forced to sell coins at low prices and experience losses, it is better to do day trading so that there is income every day. however for those who have sufficient capital and are not affected by pressing economic needs they can choose to hold coins. actually holding coins is the best option and you shouldn't be trading using basic money because this is a risk in selling your coins later if the needs that must be met suddenly come when the market is down, as a result you inevitably have to sell coins in order to withdraw money.

have to believe that for coins like bitcoin and ethereum or maybe BNB you can be sure the longer you will keep it the more it will reach the renewable price from when you last bought it. but for other altcoins it probably won't happen and don't try it for uncertain investments.

To do day trading, I agree with you, you have to really understand the movement and be smart in analyzing it because if you anticipate wrongly then day trading will be detrimental, besides being smart in analyzing and patient in action. if you want to be safe, it's better to invest in coins which will definitely be profitable in the future and will continue to increase.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB have price movements that continue to increase, because it is a popular coins that has a high demand. Popular coins
are very suitable for holding in the long term, because the longer we HODL the higher the price. But if we want to do day trading, we can use
popular coins, but the risk of day trading is much higher. It's not as easy as holding which doesn't need to do anything, holding is just waiting
for the coin price to reach the target we want. While day trading usually has to monitor the market frequently and have good analytical skills.
Day trading must be able to take advantage of volatile crypto prices to take profit, but if the wrong decision is made day trading can make us
lose all the money we have. Knowing this, I prefer holding, which is safer to do and doesn't have to monitor the market every day.

At the end of the day everything is going to depend on how comfortable you feel with whatever strategy that you are using to make money, if you prefer to hold then that's great just make sure to avoid panic selling when the price begins to go down, and if you prefer to become a trader then just make sure that you understand all the risks that you incurred when becoming a trader in a market that is so volatile and that you do your best to stay away from coins that are not worth your time.

Daytrading gives you the impression of earning money daily but it is not so! Dytrading is difficult and it could be fatal as well! Imaging losing your capital just because of human error or mistake on your part! I think holding is even more profitable in the long run than daily trading profit ( if there is any profit at all daily)

Yeah, that must be really frustrating. Your words are exactly depicting the situations of most traders; like most traders are having good preparation still they are unable to make profits due to few silly mistakes (or at least it seems so) but market is too good to make profits.

I had lots of bitter experiences while day trading crypto and forex but after I started holding cryptos, I started recovering my losses. It means day trading provided me only negative results whereas holding alone provided me different results. Any trader may start day trading with small capital and then may switch over to holding to get different results.

The way the chart looks, I will not sell any holding positions atm. BtcUsd (https://de.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/) could be around 53k soon again, IF it breaks that current resistance around 48.900 . If price closes below 45.100 on the daily Chart, I will consider scaling out a little to then buy the next dip. So Basically I am holding and trading on the daily. this had the best results with the least amount of time spent on the charts so far.

I prefer day trading for most of traders because whenever you don't have big capital then it is better for you because it can give you profit for your daily circumstances and in day trading their is a  less chance of getting profit while in long term or holding there is a great chance of getting more profit. So, it's all depend upon the trader.

Day trading and holding each has some different features and benefits. In the case of day trading, according to market analysis, you can consistently gain or lose. In this case, your total assets are repeatedly invested and there is a profit or loss. If you are a skilled and experienced trader, you can make more profit in day trading. Holding, on the other hand, can usually be based on two things. If you are not experienced in the market and are not able to make a profit through trading, it would be better to buy at the right place and hold for you. On the other hand, after investing in a potential cryptocurrency, if it goes downhill, profits can be made by holding on to it without leaving it at a loss. It can therefore be said that the efficiency and market review considers day trading and holding are both advantageous.

Yeah, the market is looking encouraging and the chances of it recovering to a full (or even a half swing) bull run is possible.

There isn't any major news on what causes the price rises we have seen lately and my speculation is that regular investors are testing the waters - an interesting act in itself if this really is the case!!!

Experimenting and finding what strategy will fits to your attitude will give you higher chances of surviving and succeeding from this industry, shorting the market is difficult as there are many twist and it can be burned your investment in a much shorter time frame, unlike with holding where you got your target and you will wait till it reached and hit to close your position.

Knowing and understanding what is best for your trade is very important. It will increase the chance of working with the right system that will lead you to succeed.

I'd say they are both important, it just depends on how you look at it.

If it's possible for you that is if you can do the both (day trade some percent of your holding) and you are confident enough in your skills that you can get good results from day trading, it is the best thing to do.

But if you are not confident and still an early trader, please BUY & HODL.

I also believe we are still considered as early investors, our biggest opportunity to make more profit is by investing in altcoins as we can still find a gem that would pump x100 or more than investing in bitcoin which will not likely hit x100 in the future. however, understanding the risk should be done first, the reward is high, hence the risk is high as well, so if you invest in the long term, make sure you know how to diversify your funds and always put the biggest percentage of your portfolio to bitcoin.

Well that is a high-yield investment option for risk-takers, --but it does not mean this will end up always a profit, there is also a chance that instead of profit it will turn into a massive loss if you don't have proper research in looking altcoins to invest. Bitcoin investment is still the best coin for me that gives a totally ROI even we will not see the x100 profit. Day trading for me is very risky and it could be there is a chance that 50% of your capital will be lost somewhere else if you don't know how this day trading works where as the investment is a risk-free if you don't invest shitcoin.

If you can grow that little capital when you day trade. I'm not doubting anyone but I've seen it not only through myself but also with some experiences that was shared about it. That's not an easy deal to make and if you're goal is to make that capital grow.
It takes time just like holding but what's good with that is you're also learning the market. There is also an addition to it that your profits must be held for safety and additional investment.

I used to trade in Binance. But now I shift to NFT games, I dont play swing trading anymore. I just buy cryptos, and HODL , SELL from the top then rebuying at the bottom or investing to a new promising new crypto project.

Thats a wise decision, I also play NFT games but im careful on the project that I follow because even they're on trend not all of them will give profit and can turn to scam.

Anyway I also prefer to hold for long term, for me its less hassle since I dont need to monitor the market often. Day trading and holding are both profitable but it depends on us which is more convenient and we can earn without having pressure.

hahaha maybe Papa Elon only wants us to think its encouraging so he can sell us his BTCs again :D

Holding is very applicable to people with no time to research or time to learn trading. Simply buy and HODL. But for me, You can maximize your holdings if you know how to sell at ATH and hedge it with USDT. When the coin bottoms, simply buy when the price goes up again you made a profit.

It is true that day trading is more difficult and now you need to pay taxes and fees and as such the profits are not as good as it may seem at first sight, but a good trader must be able to perform better than what the market can give them otherwise there is no point in trading so while your point make sense it is only true for those that are unable to master day trading, for those that can do so it is better for them to keep trading as they can obtain more profits than if they just held their coins.

No brainer that active traders could really earn much more than into those people who had held too long but its someone decision because we do have different capability on trading or specially with investment.

Holding is something thats an option for those who are not really sure on dealing with the market but for those who do like to deal with volatility then they are the ones who do really take risk on
dealing with it and make profits in short term duration.

Execution is different but it do share up the same goal which is to make profits but duration would really be different.

That's true, a day trader can make a bigger money out of the market than what is possible. More important is the learning to read the market, another thing is the patience. There can be hard fluctuation as well as unexpected market deviations. This needs to be understood prior, which isn't possible with everyone.

With hodling the risk is low when we do the right investment on the right asset at the right time. If we use the opportunity to buy at its low bottom then it'll get us better profit than just profit. Always good to hodl and get into trading periodically to increase the holding sum.

Trading is best  i will recommend trade over holding. I  ruined my entire summer and made me super depressed. I was UP about $50,000 within 2 months of buying in. I not sold and  Now I'm DOWN $70,000 from where I started. I'm still holding on. So in the long run it's taught me to develope diamonds hands.

in case of my personal, day trading is more fruitful so far from holding btw beside daytrading i have focused on holding btc,eth these are gem and also i am hold long term a few different altcoins which are hidden gem. day trading can be pay something big if your capital is large and your entrance will right movement in market.
    

If you can sort good coins for both purposes, Buying BTC, ETH and BNB for long-term investment, while also investing with the hot NFT games which allows you to enjoy the paly to earn feature.

There are many possibilities if you pick the right NFT and keep your other asset for the long term as your investment.

Take your profits with day trade/short term and allow your other holdings to grow for more.

If you have a good understanding of trading then you can trade every day.And if you do not understand trading then holding is best for you. If you can hold on, if the price of that coin goes up, then you will sell it. It will have your pocket.But if you trade every day you will see that if the market is dumping you get frustrated you will sell all the coins later and you will fall into huge loss.So I would say those who know well about trading and understand about signals will trade. And those who do not understand can hold.

Holding and day trading both are different things. Day trading needs experience trader while holding can be done by anybody. For day trading you have to know coins chart reading, their movement and their resistance but when you are purchasing coins to hold for some months then everyone can do this without fear. For me day trading in not so profitable then holding.

In general, trading is also for everyone.

You can trade without experience but you're at the disadvantage of losing. But everyone starts from no knowledge and understanding from it until they gain everything to become better.

It may seem easy to hear that holding is what the choice of most but it's also hard to do in the long run if you don't have other assets and investments to rely on.

You didn't mention the risk involved to make that 50% profit, getting profits from trading isn't as easy as you think, the risk of losing and winning is 50/50, there's nothing sure in trading you could predict that the market will keep going up but most times it doesn't go according to plan, holding is still the best strategy anyway I'd rather hodl for a month to get 50% than lose $1,000 in search of 50% profit.
If I had to choose between both, I would gladly pick trading crypto since there are tons of coins in the market to trade on.

I don't think so that day trading isn't profitable than holding. If you're a good day trader, you can earn huge profit from it. But it's so risky than holding. High risk, high profit here. Here, you need to know the basics of day trading and experience on it.

It is sad to read stories like this but you are going to eventually recover all of that money that you lost, however you do not have to wait and do nothing in the process, you can use all of this time that you have to teach yourself how to trade, so once you recover your money instead of holding now you can take advantage of the volatility and the variations in the market and increase your capital in that way, I know it is not easy to wait and hold but right now it is the only realistic option that you have.

there are those who really like the way you work by doing day trading but maybe there are also those who are more secure with long-term investments. Actually, both from a profit point of view, they clearly want to get the best, but I do agree that day trading with activities that are always active is certainly very profitable, but there are those who don't dare because they can anticipate wrongly and end up losing.
I agree that holding and trading bitcoin is very profitable although other altcoins are also good.

Holding always pays of. If you choose your coin wisely the gain will be more than  day trading.  And not everyone  have the patiencen to learn and research that is needed for day trading

Holding give me big kick.  I put 10k into shiba and was just dipping to a point where I had 2k left so I pulled out and was jumping on all the pump and dumps, I made 61k back over 2 months and will never hold onto a coin ever again but each to there own

No wonder you got rekted as memecoins like Shiba are not meant for hodling, and same goes for 99% of the other altcoins. Regarding day trading, many have good streaks for a couple of weeks or months at the most, but in the long run 95% of them would have more if they just opted for hodl. But of course, not hodling crap like Shiba but BTC.

If you are among those few % that are capable of staying in profit in the long run, keep it up!

Holding does require a lot of patience and just like you said that not everyone can do that,
both day trading and holding have their respective risks,
and what is clear is that there is no easy way to do day trading or holding both has its own level of difficulty

This is true, trading may or may not pay up all the effort that you make, however holding if done for long enough is always going to pay, however we must understand that it is still a difficult thing to do as bitcoin can go down in price really quickly and people can get nervous about that movement and decide to sell their coins because they got scared the price could go down even further, but if you can control those feelings then that is when the potential for huge profits for your portfolio really opens up.

We have to choose our journey, day trading and holding are quite different though we have the same goal to make money. For some who are full time in trading, they have a good chance to be profitable in day trading because they can spend time to research and gain more experience, for some investors who are busy with their jobs and businesses outside crypto, they don't need to choose day trading, holding along is enough as long as they fully understand crypto and the potential of the coin they are investing.

Without a doubt both are different and require different strategies however it is obvious that if we look at the rate of success of both ways to try to earn money from the markets then we are going to see that investors are on average successful in greater numbers than day traders and this is because it is easier, day trading is by far the most difficult way to produce profits in the markets but since it has the potential to also be the most profitable then it is not a surprise why so many people want to become one.

The fact is "there's money in both"! People who held the right coins are enjoying profits, daily trades who have the third sense for the right timing are enjoying profits!

Why separate trading from holding? Serious traders always have something on a side (holding), and depending on the pair you either stack dollars or sat's (let's use BTC/USDT pair for example), so if you chose the right pair and you stack the right one you will make a profit! Stacking is necessary for this process because many times the price movement will surprise and we need to have a backup plan... and that backup plan requires some funds, one way or another!

That's nice for you, considering that the coin you've mentioned have been in a pump and hype and then after that, it's all going down. As a trader, you really have to know when to sell and when you'll let go of it. If you didn't let go of it, you're at loss and you probably don't want to dump it anymore because you've made a loss and you want to recover it, that's how many times me and others have been stuck into a holding of an alt because we're in loss and we don't want to cut it down.

the patience required for holding can be immense, when the price we hold is getting near to ath it will make holding seem profitable and easy but when the price is nearing the bottom, it will make us want to dump because the market seem like go do down further while the market always move like that, if we hold for long term we will see many of bear and bull market, it has its own advantage and disadvantage just like with day trading.

I think when we feel that when we hold it, of course it is a natural thing,
we know for ourselves that the current market conditions are also not stable and this can be said to be a tough condition for the holders,
what is clear is that patience plays an important role here and it is not easy

Level of patience on each person is really different, some could able to hold that long and some wont really be that too patient when it comes on seeing things that is going down or simply they do cut loss
or would sell off immediately when they do see profits which i can say that its a must thing.

There are holders which doesnt really care on what are the market conditions as long those goals or mindsets are intact which is particular be sold off on a specific time that they had set on.

Hodling might sound too simple but its not because there are lots of factors which might really affect your perseverance and dedication.

And remember, one consideration also for long time holding is if you can afford it. Not many can hold long term as they have financial needs to address. Whereas, for those who can very well sustain their lifestyle without touching their assets, they can really hold off long time without bothering what's happening in the market. But for those who want faster return of their funds, they can always opt to day trading. But they should be careful, as one wrong move, all their profits may be gone.

I disagree with what you've said. If you're good at trading, you can still hold. There's no condition or ruling about holding. Well, actually it is better if you're a good day trader and then you're also a holder. You've got another source of investment that's for sure you're going to profit on it someday while you're actively trading.

I agree for those can't do day trading, they better study first and hold.

holding or trading is a personal choice. but for a safe strategy people will choose holding in any way, because what we know now is that trading has risks and trading also requires accurate analysis. in this case holding only requires patience and accuracy until the price really increases and experiences a large pump.

That's the advantage of those traders who know how to handle risk. They can work on both sides. Taking short ride and working with long-term holds.

Both can be done as long as there's knowledge that you can use, edge always for those who know how to deal the right way and have the nerve in taking that big risk for the sake of decent compensations.

Not all but there are people that superb at this stage, traders who work harder to extend the potentials and make things beneficial for their money.

Holding has risks too.

Don't forget that whenever someone holds, he's also taking a risk of how long he can hold and how much he can take as he decides to hold it for long.

He can sell at low too when he panics if sees the price drops.

The point is this depends on mastery, and sometimes the basics of a person can determine where they should take steps according to their more prominent abilities. Both of them have their own advantages in making a profit, what affects it all is mastery and a strong commitment.

Holding beat daily trading hands down!  Daily trading involved a lots of risk and you may loss your capital with just a little mistake!  Holding however is not so.  When you hold,  you have custody of your coin.  The risk associated with centralized exchange is removed. The profit of your holding in the long term is usually higher and no matter what you make in the daily trading can not be compare with long term holding!

In most cases it did.

I've been a holder but there were times that I've regret that I've been too hype and sold at the wrong time. But that made me decided to remain as a holder.

Because in day trading, it's more of taking a higher risk than holding.

Why would need to choose if you could really be both at the same time? Like me, im doing day trades and i do held of some coins which are worth to hold on and this is something not hard if you
do able to make some profits or sustain yourself into this market. There are really some coins which could really be worth to hold for long term and there are coins which are good for short
term trades specially on very high liquidity or volatilizes is something which you can really play on. It isnt simple as it sounds but really worth if you do know
on what you are doing.

Well, that's for the other people that can't choose and only prefer to be one.

There are traders that don't hold that much and there are holders that don't trade most of the time. They're only trading when they're about to take profits.

Trading or holding both equally can generate profits and it all depends on how we manage it,
other than that both are not something that is easy to do it takes an experience,
analyzing and doing research also has an important role and don't forget patience is also a key to success

Yes.

Both has advantages and if you're too good at holding and you've got an enormous package of patience.

You just got to be good at holding as you won't consider any risk with it as you hold it.

although both are equally profitable, but holding it doesn't seem as easy as imagined, even if it's just keeping it quiet until the price increases. sometimes our psychology is not able to see the profit that is already large, even though the market will continue to go up or experience a bullrun. if it's already reached the target I don't think it will be a problem, but if it hasn't reached the target, I think we will experience regret, and that's what must be arranged within us

Yes there is money to be made in both but we separate them because the way to make money in both of those activities is completely different, when it comes to investing once you have done your due diligence and you invest in a coin there is not much to do except to wait for the profits to come, but when it comes to trading the opposite happens, you need to always watch your trade and on average be way more active in order to make money.

In day trading, costumers buy coins and don't hold it for a long period of time. In day trading, costumers often sells coin in very short time of period.  They don't hold coin for long term investment as they buy it for short time. They prefer holding for very short time. While in holding, users give preference to the holding of coin for long term investment. They hold coin  for longer time.

Right day trading involves active management with the shot term holding period on the other side holding is long term. Day traders buy and sell stocks on small price movements. They both are totally different from way of money making and their activities process.

I am doing both. I am holding coin with half of my portfolio and other half i use for day trading.
I find daytrading is very profitable than holding for long term. But due to lack of time i also holding some coin and my target is at least 5x from these coins.

You can get profit i n day trading and Holding, now the question is what type of traders you belong are you a long term holder or short term?
if you want to earn crypto without doing any activity in trading, I guess holding is very suitable for you but if your impatience to get a profit here I am pretty sure you are fit to do day trading activity just simple as that.

It totally depends on the user's strategies and taught that  in which type of trading he is expert. If the user are familiar with day trading, then it is the best option for the user to invest in day trading. Holding needs so much time and patience. If the person is impatience, then it is not a good idea to buy a coin and hold that coin for longer time.

Well, you have a point, because holding it is all about patience and decision-making, as you will be tempted to sell it at any time. Though this is only for beginners because you will be watching the price the entire day. Now, the problem with holding is that you do not have complete control over your money, whereas with trading, you do have complete control over your money, such as having a stop loss and target profit, and it is much more about earning more than holding it for a year.

Holding is risk that's true because some coin never pump also in long term holding, so you should dyor deeply to pick much potential coin But hype coin is too risky even more than trading. Day trading is quite risks if compared with holding.

Daytrading obviously the more popular and profitable than holding because in the market some projects never pumped quickly . As examples bitcoin and Ethereum two coins suitable for longer periods and day trading but it's also very much suitable for longer periods holding. Holding more profitable but risky also.

Yeah.

Not just some but many altcoins do not pump despite of being held by many users. It's about to be dead and that's why many in that category shouldn't be held because you're wasting money and time.

Despite you're just holding it.

Everybody can not hold coin for long time, need more patience for crypto holding, Day trading maybe profitable for maximum trader but long time holder can earn too much money than day trader if they choice a good coin for long time investment.         

If categorizing the percentages, we can say that it's more alts that did not move even the market is already gaining momentum.

Projects where the developers are no longer to be found, there are many abandon projects who left their investors stuck with their hold assets.

When investing, it's your job to sort each project, for you to avoid losing your money paying attentions with assets that have solid fundamentals and real usages gives you the hint as it can be both for long-term or use for day-trading depends from the volume inside exchange.

There are two exceptionally unmistakable totally different speculation methodologies with regards to inclusion with your portfolio. On one hand we have individuals that are known as (Informal investor) who are effectively purchasing and selling things in their portfolio for the duration of the day and finishing off their position when they resign for the night

Then again you have purchase and-hold financial backers The best illustration of this venture reasoning is Warren Smorgasbord a man who esteems time regardless of anything else Purchase and-hold financial backers perform broad investigation into organizations and discover ones that are either underestimated or show a great deal of development potential

How should I say. Once I placed order, I always wait for it to complete. If the order completes within a day, I go and place next order after analyzing few things. Suppose if the order does not get completed within a day, I wait till when it gets completed. It might be for 2 days, or a month or two months or 6 months. I keep a minimal profit. So will wait until the order reaches it. I am satisfied with minimum profit. What I have learnt after lots of loss is, will take time to place orders and will wait as long as the order is completed. Patience, updates, and close monitoring will certainly help in trading.

Actually both holding and day trading all depends on the nature of market. Some people will buy some crypto coins in the aim of holding, but after few days if them notice maybe profit of more than 100% or the coin did 5x, definitely they will sell. So some days trading really pays more than holding but some set of people really believes in holding coin for a very long time even of the profit will be less than 50%

It depends on the people who are involved into trading. If they have time to do day trading and some excess money to invest more than day trading might be a good idea for them. But if cryptocurrency is your secondary stuff than I would say that holding is your best choice as you are saving up the money from your job to cryptocurrency regularly. it just depends on the person, that's all.

Enough capital and Enough time spent is one of the factors needed for you to have that full time or making day trades compared into those person who doesnt have sufficient time and money to be used up on this career.
Whatever situation they are in then decisions would really vary neither they would go for day trade or would go simply in holding.This isnt something that you could make out some suggestions because not all would
be on the similar situation in terms of finances and free time for them to put on trading.Its up to your own preference which one it seems to be effective for you.

I prefer day trade rather than holding, the reason is that in day trading you can earn daily profits although not all the time since you might be able to lose on some days but in holding you are just letting your coin to do nothing on the wallet and you have no idea when it will pump. My point is you might miss some opportunities to sell at peak and bought at dip and you will have more coins or your asset would have more value.

I really like your say on either day trading or holding is better,but I can say the two are better,why,; because in day trading,you can make daily money that can sustain you every day,while in holding,you are doing it for the future.You hold money because you really need your success in the nearest future to look more attractive.

Holding need patience and complete removal of mind from the money you have already lost.

Day trading is and can be risky and also profiting too, but the room for patience is very low/little, cause every slight movement in the market can either be for good profit or bad loss. Intraday trading is more preferred to me in trading and it gives me a little time to process and view the market, but I prefer to hold some coins on large quantities over a period of time as that can be more profiting in the crypto system, though this can still go wrong if the Project fails, but success is what everyone wants for profits to flow round. Though, the risk is always there and cannot be neglected as it is part of the process.

It's the opposite for me.

You get daily profits on day trading as that's the intention but it's not for me anymore. I've done a lot in the past to improve in day trading.

But I've come to realize that it's hard to day trade.

Day trading is my decision right now although earn few percent profit, with holding you can earn more than 200% profit but you have other income like have staking coin or you have real job, right now I am not working at any company so I take trading with my job and earn profit every day because without any profit maybe I can't have some thing to eat or drink. Many trader take profit in long term because they have many assets for investing.

Holding is always gold. But it will be a long time but Usually we can't do that. We bought a token and became restless to sell. so, DayTrade is good for us. I would personally say that those who have less patience they can only daytrade. Otherwise they will not be able to benefit.

Holding is the best option for those who wants to invest but no time to stay or look on the market every day. They just set the time when they are going to see their tokens if they already have gains or still need time before selling. Of course, it's very risky because you don't know what the future market status will be. Unlike in Daytrading, even it is tiring but the advantage is ,you can always monitor the market situation and always monitor the status of your coins and you can make more profit if the market movement is good and you ride on it. Both holding and daytrade is risky but I rather choose daytrading.

It all really depends on the expertise of each. Not everyone is able to trade daily due to lack of skills or lack of time to be in front of the screen. So whatever it is, adjust to your abilities. If you can trade daily, please trade. If you are only able to hold, please hold your coins according to the target you want. The most important thing is that there is no loss from what you sow

yes, you are right that to make a trade it is highly recommended to look for one that is indeed moving either up or down in a fast situation. because then we can trade according to what we are looking for.
the more frequent movement occurs, the more we can trade quickly too, which is what we are really looking for from trading, must continue to be active.

but holding is usually done by those who want to invest not seeing every moment of the movement of the trade. but it is enough to keep the movement when it goes down by buying and holding until it is appropriate that we consider it profitable to immediately release it.

all trading or holding activities are actually the same, it's just a matter of determining where we will invest our funds. indeed, if there are large funds that are not used, obviously bitcoin and ethereum are the ones that can be saved, but if you don't have large funds, obviously Altcoins are the target.

but it is faster to get and also risky is day trading on the top rated Bitcoin, Ethereum and Altcoins. If it's a long-term holding, it's clear that bitcoin will definitely reach renewable ATH every 4 years, while others still need a good analysis for fear that it will disappear from the stock market.

it seems that meme coins are not for day trading because it is clearly not profitable because the movement is too very rare and it will make us tired just looking at the coin, which rarely moves because the trade is obviously also rarely done.

I agree, if for investment and holding in the long term, it must be choose a coin with great potential, which is currently the best ranking on the stock market. Don't be too brave to decide with coins that have just entered the stock market, even though the profits may be large, the risks faced are also large and the risk will be more dominant.

it's all just a matter of how you respond to the analysis that can be done at any time by looking at the graphs in the CMC/CG alone, it's representative enough to be able to determine.
what are we going to do, because everything can be read clearly and can analyze the habits of the coin.

or those who have no time to trade. Unfortunately, day trading takes a lot of time.

You want to tell us Through this image that Holding is very a Easy than Daily trading or crypto trading. But i think that both are same, just have a little different between longtime and day trading. Day traders can make profit Between of some hours and Holder can make very good profit after a long time and need patience for holding.             

The both pattern are good but the best strategy in word of crypto is holding. When you do day trading you will likely to make some profits sometimes and you will also lose sometimes and the profits will not be much compared with the long time holding. Their is probability for long time holders to cash out big than day trading

Well I never saw a stock gains rapidly like a crypto, but for me it's better if you keep your eyes if you have an investment in crypto or stock because when it's rocketing and u still hodl then you may missed your moon. I set some notification in my crypto which I invested so when it's increase above 10% i will get notified and not miss my train  ;)

In my opinion, I think holding is still a wise choice, it can bring great profits in the future. Just research and choose cryptocurrencies with good growth potential and hold them for a long time. However, the problem is the patience of holders, it will take a long time to be profitable. For me, I prefer to hold longer for better chance of profit

I believe for the very long term, what’s there left chugging along, and still running without stopping will be Bitcoin in my opinion. It’s simply designed, and development decisions that were made were for it to be a multi-generational protocol. Those shitcoins were designed for speed. Bitcoin will outlive them.

It is.

But there are traders who also bags a lot of profits because they know how to do it and its been their profession to trade. And for inexperienced, it's better to be a holder than a trader.

Do not just be too impatient.

obviously it is very inversely proportional to crypto with stocks, because stocks will not be possible to increase high because there is a limit on ownership that can be sold. not with crypto, where there is no limit to owning, as long as you have large funds. crypto which rapidly increases can also have an impact also rapidly decreases, this is also what distinguishes stocks and crypto.

for crypto investments, it just depends on what coin you hold, because the difference is clearly the coin, because if you hold bitcoin, it is certain that there will be an increase every 4 years after the halving. but for altcoins, I agree that you must pay close attention to the movements that will occur because they may go up and possibly disappear from the stock market as well.

it would be great if you can manage your investment, by giving a warning if there is an increase as desired. so you don't miss the momentum to be able to earn from the investments you make. Because we know the movement of crypto is very fast and we can't do anything about it.

Holding is never that easy as people  are thinking they will hold and can get profit, whether there are some of the family problems and the situation where some traders want to hold the coins, but it is too difficult for them at the position to hold this they sell, So, I think day trading will be favorable here as compared to holding.

Being impatient is something a big mistake for most traders because you would really be in a hurry on making out decisions without even thinking on what are things would gonna happen.Its true that its better to hold

when you dont really have an idea on whats going on or you dont have any knowledge at all.Holding doesnt basically means that you are doing wrong because there are people who do make big profits

with just simply holding but of course it isnt really simple that it sounds because there are lots of factors that would really be affecting this kind of decisions.

Nothing is easy, ser, especially in investing in volatile assets like cryptocurrencies. It will take a particular type of commitment that makes people ask if Bitcoin is a CULT. Hahaha. If it was easy, then everyone would be rich. Work hard, save money, buy Bitcoin.

both return to their individual selves. Holding has its drawbacks and trading has its challenges too. holding is not that easy, psychological resilience is needed if you see prices have gone up far or fallen far, and also in trading I think you have more complex obstacles, so for those who already understand trading, they might prefer to trade because they will make a profit faster

I've been there and done that.

It's truly a big mistake of being impatient especially in this market that's very volatile. You have to act quickly but also being patient helps you a lot.

That's what I've learned from it.

Trading requires hard work, maybe the hardest work a person needs to do to make consistent profit with it. HODLing, especially HODLing Bitcoin is easier in my opinion. You do your research, you understand what the developers are designing it to be, and you can sleep at night without checking the market. 8)

Not all having hard time holding coins, there are big investors who have lots of money to spend and not to use their investment, in some cases, your point is true there are people who at first thinks that long hold will give them better profits, but along the way they forced selling their assets due to some important emergency cases, some might because of fearing to lose so decided to sell with small portions of loses, both day trading and long holding are good it's just the investors mindsets that will depend if how they will treat both strategies.

I will always prefer to hold than to trade. Nobody is perfect in trading. most trades are pumps but there are projects with massive development that will always bring in investors and money. far from that. i think it is all about holding for the long term. i always believe that the fundamental rules that govern crypto investment remains intact and the same. HODL and THINK LONG TERM.

It is what I do.

Thinking about long term since this is already a life changing opportunity, I'll be putting the risk to myself and taking it as if nothing has happened because it's bearable.

Those that are short term, they'll feel bad whenever they look at the picture whenever the market has already gone through and far and that's why you should always have the position of being long term.

Regret doesnt goes come first but rather it  is always on the end and when it comes to making decisions then every outcome would really correspond on what we had decided in the past.If you do look up some

opportunity then it is on someone neither they could dive in or would pass out and find for another chance or particular point.Being a day trader or hodler is on personal choice.

Some people doesnt really like for them to risk on which they do really decided to hold for long term and some do really love to see on shorter scale.

Yeah, it's always at the end of our decisions.

Those that have learned from it already and saw that lesson are applying it and they're choosing what's best for them and that is to hold.

Hold is lesser risk than trading but salute to those day traders that are always on their best. Not all the time but they've been making it a day living and stable on it.

Holding is best to me than day trading because day trading looks risky than holding.That why they say patience is a virtue,exercising patience is the only thing that one does in holding,you wait untill your projects yeields good result before you sell it,while in day trading,you buy when it's low and sell it when it high within hours,but it's quite risky,you can lose your money in less than no time.

I also have that perception. assume that holding is better than day trading. many things behind it, such as not rushing, can take maximum profit, and others. despite that, I don't think that trading every day is a bad thing. it's also pretty good for those who can find the moment. it's just that, forcing trading every day to make a profit, it's very risky, especially if your assets are declining at that time.

Day trading means you have to rush because you are looking for an opportunity that you will have to take right away once you see it, it's not easy for those who don't have deep knowledge in trading, it requires skills and enough experience in order to be successful.

That's why, as a trader, we have to understand our capacity, because we cannot choose all two if we don't have time to be a day trader.

These 2 are really profitable, so you will not lose if you only choose what you can do at the moment.

I have the same opinion as you. Daily trading can maximize profits, but the level of risk is high, we need to analyze the indicators and make decisions in a short time. For holding, of course, there will still be risks, but we will have enough time to choose the right cryptos, make reasonable decisions and plans.

I’m much more of a long term holder than a day trader. Although we could make money everyday as a daily trader (but no guarantees or promises), it’s way better for us to hold long term especially for the top coins and tokens out there like BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, etc. (sorry SHIB but you’re not long term despite huge gains due to hype). It’s much more profitable than just day trading earning a few dollars or so.

Much lesser risk if you hold solid project that have a big potential to grow, unlike with short-term trade which you always need to analyze how the market will proceed. The risk is really high, though there's a point where day traders are getting good compensations. They are willing to take that big risk in order to earn.

Either small percentage or wait for hype project and ride along to have a good folds of your initial investment. It's all about how good you are in analyzing the market situation and how you see your opportunities to earn.

Shiba more likely for the hypes, people who invested with this coin are trying to ride with the fame of this asset.

But in terms of long-term investment, I like those selections that you have just adding BNB

since the success of both Binance exchange and BSC chain really providing a good amount of trust from the investors.

Mostly relying on how you see the future development of the projects and how the team aggressively builds and established the coin.

Go for long term and trying to look for the potential of such project and wont let yourself fall into the current hype or trend as of this moment.Although it isnt really bad to consider out on making yourself get attached or play with the trend but the risk involved is way too high but im aint saying that you shouldnt deal with it because its a personal choice because it cant really be avoided that we are really looking after with the possible gains or
profits if things turns out to be good.

I disagree with this one. It really depends on what coin you are holding, trying to hold worthless or useless coin wouldn't do any good to you even if you hold it until you die but holding something like ETH or BTC could be really worth for long term holding. Day trading was good too for some coins but still depends on the strategy of the traders.

Day traders are not all profiting from doing their thing.

It's hard to be a day trader and that's why many of us in here have chosen to stay as a holder. I agree that holding is much better than day trading because that's what we prefer.

As to those shib traders and holders, they can make profit out of its hype and good luck to them.

Holding has been the best ever since I started trading.The money I lose in day trading was so huge that I regret ever involving myself.It is impatience that makes some people go into day trading,because they cannot wait for a long period of time before they will get their money.
But in holding,there is every tendency that you will not loose your money,and when that happens,it is not huge.

Holding has been the best for me ever since I started trading,and it's only holding I can do.

It's not just a risk, it's like giving away your money to others to play on your own grounds. Day trading shall be done by those who know for sure what it is, how the technical stuff works, needs extensive knowledge of the trading patterns, candle sticks and must have forward extinct to predict the future of the coin. In case of long term holding you get plenty of the time to predict the future and you can also take in between profits, decisions based on the current judgments over the performance of the coin/project. I think it's pretty straight to put forth your thoughts on the coins which are long lasting with better roadmaps. So for me, day trading is like onlye sometime and on the selected coins which I have studied in-depth. Mostly these are altcoins with high volatility and also higher volumes of trading per 24 hours.

hold is good but you have to know also when to "take profit"

talking about which is the best between day trading and hold for me it all comes back to each person because for those who are good at trading then hold just wastes their chance

if you make big profits on trading then paying a little tax is not too bad imo

It does not have to be which one is better between daytrading and holding. Both strategies have advantages and disadvantages, deciding which method to use should depend on the individual. While holding coins with potentials require patience, daytrading involves higher risk and quicker profit which will require good knowledge and skill of the trader to succed in it.

Daytrading is not for everyone especially for beginners or a novice because it requires such commitment like doing a full-time work that everybody can't usually able to do, also it isn't good idea because it's more like gambling than investing and it's quite very addicting.
Yes daytraders usually make huge profits from it than holding it but it can be very costly per transaction.

On the other hand, holding is the crowd favorite and for everybody because it can also give competitive returns with a low to medium risk depending how much you invest. And it doesn't require time because it's a long-term commitment.

Day trading is way of small gains but when it is being made repeatedly when days goes buy your profit will sure raise, but you must be experienced enough to do it. Hodling is something is way easy but takes too long. Holding less hassle and less fee but trading also free of fee but depends on your platform just wait for the price to go up.

Probably I'm telling you some of the benefits of holding, so if you are holding some coins and you have much money without the trading which you had already put in your account. Just hold it for long term to gain much profit, and on the other hand there is must some risk in day trading in which you can't have to wait.

But there are people who doesnt really love or like to wait up for longer which means that they do prefer on dealing with active trades but somewhat having this kind of method is really more risky since
dealing actively does basically means that they should be more prepared on how things should be done because holding and active trading is something that someone could able to bare off.
Its a personal choice because not all could bare with the risk and instead of making some action towards their trades they do end up on being a hodler because they
dont know on what they are doing.

I talk about this issue my opinion is that not depend on day which day are special for trading and Holding its not specific but the holding and trading depend on luck some time you hold coin you receive a beautiful profit and some time you loss a Great coin so that not depend on day.

Actually holding is a better option. But adjust all of that to your needs, if your money is barely enough and you need to meet your daily needs, you better choose day trading because this will make it easier and profitable for you even though the profits are not too big. But if you still have a lot of money or capital left, you can choose to hold. Usually holding profits are far more fantastic.

holding and day trading are indeed different, for holding of course we choose safe coins such as btc or potential new coins, to make a profit. different from daily trading where we will certainly be more comfortable trading on major pairs, because usually technical analysis will work, if daily trading on new projects of course price fluctuations are not certain and chartist analysis does not work

I am more for holding, because trading requires a lot of knowledge and good nerves ;D
