For me,  all of those are profitable depend on how you handle it.  Holdinh btc is profitable if it rise and you aqymuire it at a very low price.  Short term trading or daybtrading is also effective way on how to gain more but with a higher risk than long term.
At this point I believe you should trade only short-term trading and you can see that the market is continuously adjusting and the bitcoin price after returning to the $ 8500 level has been dramatically reduced by $ 1000 and The current correction is at $ 7500. Bitcoin prices have returned to their bear market so I believe you should only invest in the short term at this time.

I think long-term holdings are better than short-term holding because the price of Bitcoin is very volatile, so prices change every time that is very important for a trader. I focus more on long-term investment as I can always take time out of my schedule and use it for research purposes which will help to make decisions in the long run.

on the other hand I prefer to be a scalper, because by analyzing the daily fluctuations, my understanding of the more subtle indicators, the difference in price in one day profoundly affects the profits, and if accumulated with long-term profits, the amount is even much greater despite having a big risk too.

be careful if you decide to do a scalping trading because at this moment, it is difficult to do now and besides that, the market still hard to predict. but I see that there is any coin that can we use for searching a profit and I think it's not just for bitcoin only. but I still hold my bitcoin while I still try to do trading too like you.

At this stage, it actually depends on how long one wants to hold as for the past few months and the behavior of the market generally, we all know that is simply a hard thing to hold on to any market for long now and most especially altcoins. No one is sure how the market is going to be like in the long run, probably altcoins will be able to do their own thing without getting a hit from bitcoin, but as it is now, they get beaten hugely and one of the reasons why long term trade makes a lot of sense.

all of those are profitable depend on how you handle it.  Holdinh btc is profitable if it rise and you aqymuire it at a very low price.  Short term trading or daybtrading is also effective way on how to gain more but with a higher risk than long term.
Holding is actually something that is good for those who may not have choice than to hold anyway. Normally, it is either you are holding or you are trading as an investor and the reason a lot of people hold anyway is because they may not have the time or the knowledge to trade. However, when it comes to the idea of playing with the highs and lows in the market with that huge volatility, Holding for me is out of it, and better to trade them and increase your position in the long term.

I have been burnt a lot trying to play the game of trading. Often times I end up buy too high thereby becoming a bagholder, and when I finally sell, it's at a loss.
So I can't help but wish I had just held on to my BTC. Would have been grinning from ear to ear today.  #Lessonlearned
I think at this point you can completely invest in bitcoin and also trading day, the market in the past few days are fluctuating continuously and you can see that bitcoin prices are constantly rising and are uptrend in short term. Bitcoins will be able to rebound to $ 10000 in the coming days so you can buy bitcoins at the moment.
If he don't feel confident about trading in this market and his decision than what is a point of day-trading? In my opinion this is just too risky if you have never trade before.
If a person does not feel confident on his ability to make money in this market with day trading then it is mandatory to not trade, after all the whole point of day trading is to make a lot of money and if you cannot do it and instead you are going to lose money then it is better to not trade at all. It is better right now to buy bitcoin and hold it since the price is very cheap right now.

They are very different from each other but the very profitable strategy for me is holding because you will just hold your cryptocurrency over the time and you just need to do some understanding in the chart of the cryptocurrency and that is how you are going to plan your exit in the market in long term basis which means that you have a lot of time to feel the maximization of the profit.

Holding bitcoin may better after all than trading it if you are just too emotional when trading. If you are really serious in learning it then it would better to do it now when the price is not that high so you wouldn't be that furious when you have a loss. Just think of your losses as a tuition fee to learn more and be better with trading because you would get it back again when you are already familiar with the market and you have a strategy that would help you in achieving your goals.

indeed all daily trades have greater risk than long-term trading, but if you have time for short-term trading by always looking at market movements I think it can minimize your risk

but in right now, I think it's difficult to do because the market is going down and even it's down too deep. it is hard to take a profit from this moment because we need to always check the price, analyze the price from time to time, do a fast move for the coin so we can still make a profit. I think holding the bitcoin is better than today trading right now unless you have skills to do that.

True the crypto market is very unpredictable no matter how much you've research, how much you analyze the price through technical and fundemental sides. If whales decides to sell all your strategical analysis will be all for naught. Day trading is very risky it takes a very experience trader to make profit in this bearish marker or you will be converted into a holder.

I think holding the bitcoin is better than today trading right now unless you have skills to do that.

Hard for some but that's what experienced day traders do. Even in a red market, day traders would takr advatage of a coin's natural volatility, meaning even small profits would be good enough and can be attained. Though of course, this would need a lot of experience and skills but that can be acquired through continuous practice.

For me,  all of those are profitable depend on how you handle it.  Holdinh btc is profitable if it rise and you aqymuire it at a very low price.  Short term trading or daybtrading is also effective way on how to gain more but with a higher risk than long term.

Everything depends on the person and his skills and experience. As I see it, the newbie cannot deal with the day trading as in 95% he will make a mistake and lose the money. Here, the beginner should better hold.
Choosing anything out of holding, day trading and long-term trading is the most important and the most difficult job to do but you have to spend some good period of time to think about all these options and then making some final decision. Lot of things count once you make any final choice and you need to be sure that you are making the right choice which will then help you in making more money.

In my opinion to be successful here, you need to be performing all that kind of listed things at once, so what I mean basically it is that you need to hold some coins, you need to day trade, and also invest in some perspective.

I think that at this time you should only invest in short-term and trading day to make profit with the least risk, you can see that bitcoin prices are constantly fluctuating in recent days, the market is In the long run, it is very difficult to trade successfully. So if you keep or invest long term the risk will be very high if the bitcoin price drops sharply.

Day trading and short term trading is good even in the bearish season and you can earn good amount of money.

I have been burnt a lot trying to play the game of trading. Often times I end up buy too high thereby becoming a bagholder, and when I finally sell, it's at a loss.
So I can't help but wish I had just held on to my BTC. Would have been grinning from ear to ear today.  #Lessonlearned
At this point I think you should only trade short-term and day trading to be able to minimize risk when the market is in downtrend stage, you may find that you can only profit from hold or head Long term when the market is in uptrend. To minimize the risk in trading I think you should only trade bitcoin, if altcoin trading you will greatly damage the price if the bitcoin price drops and you do not catch up.

True the crypto market is very unpredictable no matter how much you've research, how much you analyze the price through technical and fundemental sides. If whales decides to sell all your strategical analysis will be all for naught. Day trading is very risky it takes a very experience trader to make profit in this bearish marker or you will be converted into a holder.
Yes that is right that we cannot predict the market 100%  correct, but I think that still your research and hard work will go wasted. I think that it will surely help you take a right decision which will give you good profit and even can prevent you from lost.

in my opinion it's better to look at the market first, if a stable market is more effective in daily trading, if the market is buried I always invest not trading but if the market is good I trade with expensive coins.
