HODL - the synonym for I'm out of money but too greedy to sell.

What baloney, trading Bitcoins is easy as fuck.

Trading alts is very hard though.

Winklevi have been holding and never sold a coin.

Is there a public address to confirm this?

Satoshi HODLs all of his 1 million BTC

Except that daytrading is idiotic: you can't time the market, and if you think otherwise, you've just been lucky thus far.

Yep! Because there is absolutely no skill involved with what we do  
If you don't believe in it, then just go back to the HODL corral.

many traders day trade. the successful ones have a backlog winners that statistically proves their capability to trade smaller swings. They are rare and they get paid a lot by banks.
yes you can day trade, but not everyone can day trade.

See this is the bullcrap I was trying to address in the last bullet of my post. I know hodling is a good strategy but when you start saying that trading is impossible or that traders are dumb then you are going too far. There is no need for this. Just because YOU can't trade doesn't mean it's impossible. In fact bitcoin is the EASIEST asset to trade of any asset, stock, or commodity! There is so much volatility, so many sheep, so many primitive EMA bots, and such a lack of professional market makers that the users of exchanges practically hand you their coins! I have multiplied my coins by 100 in the past year doing trading. Did I do that with luck?

Bitcoin is so volatile that that would definitely be plausible.

There are some people that would not sell because they don't have what to do with fiat.

Recovery of the whole gox monday drop is incredible fast, will we continue to 800 in the next days?

Day trading in normal stock markets is often made very difficult by a combination of high transaction fees and low volatility.  You have to be extremely lucky and be playing with large amounts of money to come out ahead.

Bitcoin day trading is much easier because of the low transaction fees and high volatility.  Even if one trade goes bad, you just need a bit of patience to catch up.  No matter what strategy you used last year, you would have made money, whether that was Elliot Wave theory or astrology.  The only losing move was not to play. 

Making money in 2014 could be harder, maybe not.  It would be very interesting (at least to me) to set up a fantasy crypto trading league to explore the validity of various strategies and their applicability in crypto markets.

So true. Online stock trading costs from 4-10 USD per trade. Absolutely insane
