Honestly I do it both. Hold and trade. To be pratical while the price of bitcoin is still down. I try to trade even in a small income to survive while waiting to the coin rise. And I am holding some coin to be safe even I got loss in trading I have a chance to recover when the price will rise again.
That is what I do too because I think that if we can search for the profitable coin at this moment, we will have a good opportunity to get the profit.
I still hold some coin like other people because I think we will see the bull market come in a short time so if we can keep for more, then the profit will come to us.
I know that it will need a big effort to hold the coin, especially if we bought the coin at a higher price.
But that will be worth for us if we can hold it until the price can increase higher and pass the price we bought.
Holding and trading will be a right solution this time because bitcoin and altcoin giving progress to increase and even the price cannot increase so high, it will rise to the higher price soon.
