Be patient! I'd suggest you hold on to your coins.Personally waiting till after the halving is the best safest practise at the moment.If price gets upto 1k and above then you're in for good profit.

Whenever I get bitcoin, I immediately sell for a small profit. I have been wondering if I would be better off just holding onto them...then I think that to make money I gotta buy and sell, buy and sell, over and over.
What are your thoughts? Is it better to buy and hold or buy low/sell high?
Generally its better to hold and sell. This has what has happened now also. Infact if you would have holded for a month would have gain an enormous profit. Also the risk attached is equally that big. Since its the risk reward ratio we can say about it.

arbitrage is better because it is a profit in short time and you may be able to repeat it. but it is not easy to do arbitrage with bitcoin because some exchanges does not withdraw instantly and the price may change in the opposite direction before you close the deal

If you hold lots of bitcoin and fiat and two exchanges, then you do not need to transfer the coin/fiat between exchanges.

I think that simply holding onto bitcoins is a better option than arbitrage, because if you're looking to sell your coins all the time obviously you'll incur a huge amount in fees alone.
While holding onto coins will bring you perhaps small, but at least steady profits.

it all depends sooo much on sooo many different factors. the size of your capital. the condition of the market on a particular day. the general trend of the market. (so many other factors!) all of that is just the half of it. a very important part of any trading system is the trader! what makes you more comfortable & where can you feel most in your zone!
personally i'm massively limited in my access to different exchanges (because of political/national reasons beyond my power) arbitrage inbetween different exchanges, never really been an option for me; so i've never bothered to do the actual math! but you've been there, done that & have the data.
invest in an experiment! allocate a bit of funds; try the other method (buy some & hold). establish the parameters of your experiment, based on Your understanding of the market & Your expectations. & Stick To It! repeat a few times, get a feel for it. then you can easily decide which one works best for You!
It sure is most profitable to go all in on every trade but ever heard of not putting all your eggs in one basket, one-third rule & alike? just look it up maybe you'll find interesting ideas!

since you are a beginner in trading i suggest you to stick with holding your bitcoin for the time being and enjoying the ride to the moon with bitcoin.
and if you are really interested in trading start with a small amount and you may even have an easier chance of learning in altcoin market.

I think holding your BTC for a long time could be better, if only you have a large amount of BTC therefore you can generate a large profit in the long-term. Yes with bitcoin our patience will get reward for us.

I had an idea -- over Memorial Day weekend when there was a tremendous arbitrage opportunity -- to use Eth as the transfer vehicle between exchanges for a much quicker settlement period -- the problem was the Eth offset at the time and the Chinese exchange I was planning to arb made me uncomfortable. I was planning on using bots for this which would have required some programming. So -- I only made it 3/4 of the way through the thought process, and I was a making a killing in btc (trading the swings) and just gave up on the idea... Obviously, Eth is no longer an option for this -- unless things settle down and they somehow address their current problem with the DAO without destroying the underlying Eth -- but -- just an idea for whatever future "quick settlement" coins might exist... Arbitrage SHOULD be LOW risk -- and requires speed which the btc network doesn't provide -- if you ever choose to go that route... I'd be curious to have you experts poke holes at my half thought out plan -- since I might actually pursue it at some time in the future (I am by NO MEANS even CLOSE to as smart as most of the posters here on the forum)...

i think simply holding bitcoin is too much better than any thing else. i think it is still a good time to buy and hold bitcoin tell the halvingl at the time of halving you should sell your bitcoin and when the price came down then try to buy again and then wait for the next high rate.

It's always going to be arbitrage. Why?
Say you earn 0.01% on a trade and you can do this 1000x if you wanted any given day. That's 10.516539% a day growth of your bitcoins. That'll add up way faster than any increase in price ever would. The problem is finding actual arbitrage that you can take advantage of over and over again.

both of them are good ways of making money, you should see which one is better for you. usually people are choosing the easy way of just buying low and hold it and wait until the price is high and then sell it.
but also you can see that there is always a lot of ups and downs in the market which can be considered good opportunities to buy low and sell high every day on each of these dips and rises.
I agree that both good ways in making money, BUT it depends on some situations and conditions.Arbitrage is advantageous if you have a bigger margin,having a higher demand or several orders.Since transferring from one exchanges to another takes time,this could be considered. BUY and HOld is also a good one, BUT you have to be awae whats happening,speculations etc because it also affects the bitcoin price. Be vigilant and act fast so that you will not be left behind ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

how does the op instantly make a profit? does he buy every single time just before it pops up? and why go through all that hassle to make a tiny percentage? it don't make a great deal of sense.

I think there is no right or wrong answer to this. If you need the money, then it's okay to go ahead and sell. If you don't really need the money, then you could wait to sell when the price is relatively high to maximize your profit.

There are some short variations but still bitcoins are growing at great speed and I also think that it is more beneficial to hold it for long time. After collecting good amount of bitcoin then it is good to start trading from small so that enough stock of bitcoins are always remain in wallet.

You can do both if you want to. What I'm doing is, save most of my earnings because I know that it would benefit me in the future (well, since bitcoin is continually adopted by many and become stronger as time goes by) then use some on trading. I don't trade everyday, I'm waiting for the perfect timing before I buy or sell(buy low/sell high), making sure that I will earn from it. That's how I do it, in your case you're still the one who will decide depending on your situation. Just don't trade all, save for the future.

Simply holding the bitcoin is in my eyes better because it has a very good worth and its also worth holding. I think that due to the fact of the good future of the bitcoin its better to hold right now.
