Usually, trading is more profitable than holding, but it is the riskiest way too. If you haven't a good experience and knowledge you can easily risk losing big amounts by trading, the profit isn't guaranteed. Holding is also risky, but generally it is safer when you hold the most powerful cryptocurrencies.
Well, if you can trade so well to guess predictions, of course it will provide you with far more profit but holding is a little bit riskier and in most cases more beneficial than trading. There are a lot of people who trade and lose but there are also a lot of people who hold and instead of lose, they win because in overall price of bitcoin rises. In trading you hope to get some profit from daily activities which includes exchanges.

Not all people know how to trade and they are better off with holding. But holding a certain altcoin will only be profitable if you are choosing the right ones. Whereas, in trading you can gain a lot if you know the ins and outs of crypto trading. So it really depends on what type of crypto user are you.

Exactly. Imagine holding a coin for a long period of time and then suddenly the price of that coin dropped. Its either you continue to hold on to it and pray that the value of that coin will bounce back or sell at loss and look for another opportunity. If you are a day trader, this scenario can be avoided because after hitting your goal, you sell right away.

There are both pros and cons of being a trader and a holder.
Being a trader is more risky than just holding your coin but the profit will be higher if you are a good trader. High risk = high reward as they say so being a trader make more money but the risk is higher too. This is the reverse of being a holder. The risk are lower but the reward will be lower too. In conclusion, traders make more money compare to holders.

I think someone will not be a holder if they don't know what they are doing, right? I think most of these holders are the ones that are so busy and can't focus on trading. Instead, they will just hold the cryptocurrencies they have and wait for a good time to sell. Not all of the people here can do a day to day trading since with the volatility of the cryptos, and with a lot of traders having an effect to the prices, you should always be aware of what you are doing.

You could try Options trading instead of just HODLing in a highly volatile market. You have a chance to make higher reward too.
I'll give you a simple 1 week scenario.
It's Monday. BTC @ 10k
You buy a put for 1 BTC @ 9k expiring on Friday for $100 [if BTC falls below 9k, you can force someone to buy your BTC at 9k]
Wednesday, BTC flies up to 13k. You won't get stopped or liquidated. You are fine. Keep sipping your cocktails.
Thursday, BTC flies down to 7k. Still not your problem.
Friday, BTC settles at 8k at 4pm Singapore time. (For Sparrow Exchange)
Your profit is: 9k (strike price) - 8k (settlement price) - $100 (cost of premium) = $900
$900 profit from using $100. 9X return.

Yes, I agree with you. There are always pros and cons of being a trader and a holder. In trading, it always depends on what crypto are you trading and holding. So if its the same crypto and same amount, I think it will come to your skills, analysis and also situation. Trader focuses every minute to make sure they can profit more, but holders are not, at the same time they might busy in other things and less focus on the price of their cryptos.

I think holders will earn more money than holders. You will certainly wonder that many traders earn a lot of money during the time I hold but why do I say I earn more money? first of all, I don't just hold 1 coins and especially I don't spend all my time trading. I take the time to analyze and explore new projects, potential projects that can make my portfolio increase by 300% - 500%. Besides, I am not as stressful as traders, it is also another benefit of the holders.

Looking at a simple way, trading is really more risky when we are forced to move continuously, predict and find opportunities to make money, hold without so many actions, we just need to maintain patience and at the right time, the results will be perfect. However, in recent years, the general evaluation of many people who have experienced participating in crypto, they almost feel holding has become risky, when the value of altcoin has changed very abnormally, if unfortunately, losing almost assets is easy to see, trading is probably easier to control when we manage every day

You maybe wrong OP. According to you a trader makes more money? But i would say that, it's always not the safe. Sometimes or the other, the trader chooses the wrong coin for which he makes losses. It's better to be safe and earn little profit, by holding stable coins. Their prices don't fluctuate a lot. Hope you understands now.

Not sure, because being a day trader will be frustrating because day trading will continue to monitor market movements because if not like that day traders will not have the right time to buy and sell. Therefore, being a trader and holder also does not guarantee that it will produce good profits because to achieve a certain target at least there will be pressure from many factors.

In both trading and holding, there are risk involved. But personally I prefer holding than trading since trading has to do with interpretation of graph and a lot of technical analysis unlike holdling

Thats a wise choice you made, if you can't interprete those graphs nor do you understand technical or fundamental analysis, then trading isn't for you, you'll be better off buying and holding for a while to see what becomes of the price. The thing is neither of them is more profitable than the other, what determines that is how well either the trader or the hodler goes about it, learning(for the trader),and knowing when to sell(for the hodler)

Holding is actually safer than trading but to be sincere with us trading is far profitable than hold. You will need smartness and patient to make it in trading. If you are new in this market it is better to buy bitcoin or ethereum and keep holding until it gets to your desired profits. Trading is for the experts and professionals and I will advise you to avoid it if you don't know how to interpret price patterns.

Basically these traders or daily traders made more money instead of holders, because of using many profitable and fast increasing coins. But it's not eeasy for them to manage it actually, some fall on losses rather than gaining. Significant issue includes, market downturns and possible slow volume of trading exchanges that badly occurred for such a long time during bearish period. For case to case basis, holders won't encounter that scenario but struggles is there while waiting for so long.

Trading involves far more work, more risk and more cost from the bid offer spread and possibly the use of a trading account. Leverage also costs money, holding is quite simple and is only 1 transaction in sum total. The preference will always be for the holding of currency over a certain period of time. However its very hard to call exactly a period of time you know Bitcoin will rise, I try to spot larger trends and bullish eras to Bitcoin pricing. We could very well be in that era now, one of the factors I look towards is the dollar index and its trend towards making new highs or lows. People wont like this exactly but I go as far as referring to Federal reserve policy, as to lowering or raising interest rates for an indication in loosening in dollar hard or soft policy. This isnt trading but it gives a backdrop to the likely action favoured. After you spot the larger picture, you can try to indentify the trends occurring that should confirm this bias to expansion or contraction of standards like Bitcoin or similar. I think we are expanding Bitcoin as a monetary base and alternative to Dollar currently. Of course the news has a possible crack down on Bitcoin easy of use, its never all one way.
I honestly think holders make more money so long as they are in the right area, trading is better paid work and should return better if you are skilled but trading should involve lower amounts then possibility to hold and call a larger picture. Due to compound effects, trading should show higher returns for shorter periods of time but in sum total holding a long trend is how riches are made. Bitcoin has grown exponentially, holding was the smart trade.

The best of traders as compared to pure holders, the traders will win in terms of profit. They are traders, after all! They work and work regardless of whether the market is bullish or bearish. While others are resorting to holding due to very high uncertainty and solid red in the charts, the expert traders can still see gains. They can smell green amidst blood. But of course, only those who have acquired and honed their skills to the extreme. Those half-blooded traders like me would rather stay safe and HODL.

Only if the traders are good. Otherwise if you arent a smart trader you're better off holding.

However, people say trading seems to be stressful. Is it? I mean, all you are doing is looking at the btc price... it either goes up , down or stays around the same. Its not like you have to analyze it daily or something... do you agree? Now let say its altcoins... that would seem like ton of work because you have to research all the coins. And those coins have high fluctuations no where compared to bitcoin.
I agree with those who think or have experienced that trading gives more profit than holding. But, yes, trading is sometimes stressful. I take a off and work on my strategy or completely work on something else. That usually happens either when my betss go in loss or multiple profitable bets followed by a loss.
