Day trader or Hodler, what's the right choice? (in bear market)

[supremnoob]

Two situations/cases in this BEAR MARKET. So:

Are you a day trader?
If yes, how long do prefer (limits) you keep a coin until you sell it?

Are you a hodler?
If yes, how long is the best time to HODL a coin (6 months, 1 year etc)

Many people think that BULL MARKET will came in APRIL / MAY. Are we close to that? With present BTC situation... (and all altcoins)

[LeonsBTT]

A day trader can make money always, for a holder it is good time to fill the bags. Choose what makes you feel more comfortable.

[oxonhu]

day trading is so hard. You see a coin and you say its dip lets buy some but than btc goes under 9k and your coin has a new dip  if you hold a coin you know it will recover one day for sure but must be carefull and never buy shitcoins. Coins with real project ,good team and even with a product can make new ath.

[Sidiq SP]

I am including those who keep the coins until the time limit is uncertain, the possibility of coins that will save this more than a few months or maybe years, because at times like this my best situation is to keep it as strong and as long as possible, if it is not forced then I will not sell coins that I have this, because by selling it will add to the loss for me and that I do not solve the problem

If you have fiat cash. This is the right time to invest our fund on trading like buying all the potential coin for the cheap price. We may find the coins back to Hugh rate in couple of weeks.
Since the many regulations has been implemented and Mt gox sold huge number of bitcoins complete market devasted so use your fund highly on trading.
If you have cheap altcoins you may hold this coin for long time.

there is a thing between day trader and holder.
here is how I see it:

• scalper: works with 1m, 5m charts, do a lot of trades per day
• day trader: works with 15m to 4h charts, never hold his position more than a day
• swing trader: can hold his position for several weeks, months
• position trader: holders/investors. can hold a position for a year and more

I'm holding my coins because I have no free money to buy back my coins. Maybe if I have some money I can do day trading hopefully can get ROI faster because of market condition right now. I hope 6 months later I can get my money back of course with some profit from my very little investment. My investment dropped about 70% because I bought them when high price

I am not a day trader. I am a holder. But I am not a blind bitcoin holder. I hold bitcoin in bull market, I hold fiat money in bear market. It is not that difficult. When I see that trend is bullish I am going to buy bitcoin and hold it until the next cycle

Day trading is just a guessing game and most times you will end losing more than if you just held.

[seoincorporation]

I was a trader for a long time, but I get tired because you need to spend too much time (all day and night ) in front of your computer if you want to succeed. Also, to me, trade is like gambling, you can lose everything in a minute or win big profits, but you can become an addict too.
So, for now, I prefer to hold, even when the profits are so much lower to me. But, I don't know, to me trading is just not healthy, if you get what I mean, so, holding, relaxing, and earning step by step is better to me.

[longyenthanh]

I prefer both option, because if you invest in long term you have a lot of free time, so the best option for this is day trading. This way is the most profitable for me.

[tora]

I am not a day trader. I have been exchanging ether and btc into other coins ie neo,etc,ebtc and ripple. I am looking to hold these and add others in future. By the way a true day trader starts with one commodity eg bitcoin then uses that to trade all day then change them all back into original holding at hopefully a surplus. This started with shares in the 1990's.

[babygun]

Day trading can be very lucrative as it is very risky. Given the current high volatility on the market, I think nowadays it is very difficult to gain proftit by day trading. I am a long term holder (over 1 year).

[jacafbiz]

There is only one pick here and is day trader, a trader that knows his onions can make it big in any market. It is very easy to scrap the market in a bear market though anyone can be a good trader in a bull market only few people will be successful trading a bear market

[bhadz]

Are you a hodler?
If yes, how long is the best time to HODL a coin (6 months, 1 year etc)

I prefer to be a holder. I don't want to have see daily charts, its giving me a big problem when I can't the market anymore. It leads me to sell in panic if the market wasn't so good and is on bearish. There's no time on how long should I hold. As long as there is no need for me to sell, I would prefer to hold. Maybe 3 months would be the minimum months.

Calculating the days, we are near to those months. Well the market is up again and green.

[bigcash2011]

If you want to earn something daily, then you have to be a day trader, you have to bear the stress of trading and you have to be a great technical analyst and you should know what is the best entry and exit points, otherwise you will loose as a day trader, hodling is only for patient and long term investors and if you have big bags of good coins you will be making big profits long term.

[xCryptoManiaX]

Just day trade everything in the current market. The people who hold are the ones who can't trade and they're stuck as bag holders for god knows how much.

Are you a day trader?

I stand in both as a day trader as well as a gardener.
It all depends on the condition of the price at least i don't lose and get a profit of at least 10%.

If yes, how long is the best time to HODL a coin (6 months, 1 year etc)

I do them periodically within a span of time (3 months) only.

Yes April is very close but the likelihood bitcoin will be growing in June because at that time people will experience oversold.

the situation  now of altcoins price in the coinmarketcap is in dip I think I go to long term hold to buy altcoins and wait again for the price increase, i work as day trader but now ill stop for while during the altcoin difficult to predict which altcoins potentially goes up the price  in the coinmarket.

precisely, by holding the coin in may have many advantages. In addition to reducing the risk of losses as prices there at this time, it will also make investments in the longer the coin has great value. only this way can address the terrible price a few months.
