I think it is better if you will do have both because when you are holding some coins in your hardware wallet or online wallet then it is a great and comfortable feeling that you have back up and while you are trading you can increase your coins faster than enough which is great to get some small amount of coins to be added to holding portfolio.
You can hold the bitcoin and altcoins which have the future potential to make the profit triple or even more with the holding you have done. Please check the coins which you want to invest for holding purposes especially. Because if do not know the potential of the concern coin you holded you will have to face the dump in the market. But trading investment altcoins are fine to invest on any time, when the short bump in the market also will help you to find the profit and swap the investment to another coin with in some hours of time. |

right now it is a dilemma for all crypto lovers, if you are weak you will lose and if you can not see the chance you will lose too. look at the situation you can hold it if potentially.
First of all you need to have a brave action , create a plan and stick on it whatever happened. Risk management holding important role , as when you don't want to take risk too much you can always make it daily trade . But when you ready to take a higher risk , keep holding could give you bigger amount in return. |

Holding is the better way to earn more.
Example :- IF you invested 10000 US $ in year 2017 1 jan - in ripple currency you. just imagine how much profit you can earn by this way
hold ether and think if you hold 20 or 25 ether when last year price is around 9$. and today 1300$ two moth back it was 300$ even i seen 150$ 6 month back.
so what you think. its just the game of mind , on which coin you invest .
Nowadays if you invest single $ on new ICo and hold a coin for at least 1 year the sold off you will get 1000% profit guaranteed may be some run away but not all.
one of my friend created a coin names as rupee and now price reached 0.01$ to 0.64$ and Now i am thinking to hold some coins . so if i hold from start when he was saying t me ?
what you think from my way Hold or trade

It depends upon the persons risk level. Some people trade b/c they do not want to hold the asset long when it drops >10%, 20%, 30%+. They see it as loosing money and the asset may not return to those levels for quite some time if ever. (In the conventional stock market, the company can go bankrupt and the investor will get nothing back).
If one believes that the blockchain technology is the latest generation of money/Internet, holding long is probably the way to go for most people. If you look at the history over the last 2 years, that was a successful strategy. Most people also do not have the time to watch the charts all day long and execute a trade, especially if someone is working full time! (like me)...

For me holding played out far better up to today than trading. Plus, the downside of plenty of swaps of coins is, that once a cryptocoin you held shoots up, you will have this very guilty feeling: Why the heck did I sell this coin?! Happened to me more than once. Of course, not every trading decision you make is a bad one, but the mistaken can easily add up.

Of course also the amount of time, which you have available plays a role. If you are not able to check regularly than you might not be suited for trading, atleast not on a short term basis. So who ever is very restrictig in his time he or she should invest rather than trade. Also the assoziated risks are way higher in trading also the psychological pressure.

Holding is for long term usually, while trading is for short and long term. The best choice is doing both to get the maximum earning. I personally hold some powerful coins like BTC and ETH, and I trade tokens and some other coins with small value daily almost. This way I am earning good income and reserving some money for the future.

If you ever intend to trade seriously you need to learn to dismiss such thoughts from your mind. If you can trade successfully it will always work out better than holding but the distinction comes from the 'successfully' part. Many people will lose money trading as they can't be successful at it and so would be better off holding. |

I don't hold many coins but I trade everyday almost, holding can give us good income but we need to be a bit patients because its asking time, maybe even several years.
In the other way, trading is giving us fast results and earnings, despite its high risks. So personally I prefer trading.

It all depends on one mindset, approach and one's expectation from the market. If you are expecting a big returns from the market with lesser amount of investment then go for investing the cryptocurrency and hold them at least for few months to year so that you get bigger returns like 20x to 50x and otherwise if you are just expecting small returns every week or month then go trading the crypto coins with a good trading strategy and rock-solid money Management plan. You can go with whatever you like or suits you.

For those who trade daily or on medium/longer (week&month) time frames, how many trades on average do you execute in a week/do you try to limit yourselves at all?
Also, how do you guys balance your portfolio? Hard to tell what a good number of altcoins is to distribute between so that things remain manageable...

I've tried both and the majority of my profits have come from holding
Its hard but most definitely the best way in my opinion.

I also prefer trading because the value of coins is always changing and you have a chance to earn a big profit in a short period of time just by trading it because the value of this coin is rising as well as your amount of holding even it is a high risk many people earn a big income in that way. |

If you’ve been in bitcoin for a few years, then you know how volatile the price can be. Bitcoin’s had several bubbles. The beautiful thing is that, so far, after every bubble price has recovered and made a new higher high. So yes, in theory, if you time it right (which is very hard to do), and buy on panics and hold long-term you’d have made great returns.

You can also see the market is very stable, the value of bitcoin and other altcoin has a small fluctuation range, so in this moment you should keep the coin you are investing. Do not worry about your property because the market is waiting for new impetus from investors, perhaps they are more cautious with the cryptocurrency market after a very successful 2017 of this market. |

It depends upon the coin. If the coin is pump and dump type I would prefer trading for quick gains but if coin is backed by serious team and project is good, I would prefer holding.

It all depends on the distance and the methods used. If you are an expert in arbitrage that to a profit from the hold you easily add a profit from the trading.

Having seen the massive rise of cryptocurrency prices in the previous year, I have seen that if one gets a coin at the right time and holds it before the prices pumps up, there would be huge gains. But then, the frequent bearish attitudes of the markets also affords one some gains.
Among these two strategies, which is better and which d you recommend?
I will not recommend anything since you are the one who will try to find what is your winning strategy. Some people bags profit only by holding. Some people also earned a lot by trading. Overall, they are both effective strategy. But how do they do that? It's matter of trading test and ability to face all the associated risks the moment they put money on crypto. Since experienced build them, they now know how to deal with the volatility on the way. Yes they still experiences losses but overall, they already gained a good winning stats. Like I said, you must find your winning strategy in order to win. It will not give you an always win but surely you will have a wonderful winning stats if you play it right. Holding and trading are simple terms but needs some good recipes in order to make a good output. |

You shouldn't 100% hold or 100% trade your portfolio. The best way to manage your portfolio is to diversify using pyramid scheme. Most of your portfolio, say like 40%, must be hold in a stable coin, like BTC or ETH. Moving up, 20% of your portfolio is for long term altcoin hold/trade. And the top of the pyramid should be for trading shitcoin, expecting 10x or 100x  There's a lot of way to do this, but in general that's how it should work. |
