Is Buy and Hold Really the Best Strategy in Crypto?

[jasonjm]

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

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

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

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

Let me know what you think! Thanks!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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