Trading is better than Holding

[akjuve]

I Feel like sharing my opinion and I would like it if anyone can convince me enough

So, let me say I've been trading or started trading for a while now but I still count my self as an Armature Trader so far. Why?
Because I've never made a good profit so far and whenever I make one, I end up at loss later.
But with all these, I still believe in trading than holding my crypto assets because I know with time, when I get to understand how it works and go very well, I can keep making my profit and will never loss more than expectation.

Reason why I said all these is because I hold some crypto assets a while ago because I believe in them and thinking they are going to be like top 100 in the market within years. But I was wrong.
I wish I have been trading since then and probably, I would have gain more or earn more because I hardly loss even as armature as I am.
Many people hodl but I think trading is more preferable.

So Maybe I am right which I think I am but still looking forward to others opinion or advice.

That's why if you wanted to be a holder, you need to have a lot of mental toughness. What I mean is that you should not just look at the everyday price because you might be thinking that you are not making money because of the worsening market conditions.

But as traders, you really have a chance to gain profit, but you need to have the expertise and the knowledge, otherwise you might lose in the beginning and became to question yourself and then you felt you are just wasting money and time and easily will get burned and quit.

[Freddy11]

Yes, it’s indeed better than holding but very much our own decision and choice. As if we do it properly then we will be able to gain more. I find it super comfortable with my current broker FreshForex, through their lively conditions that counts for the low spreads, smooth trading platform and plenty more.

[Assface16678]

We have a different aspect of earning there are a lot of people today making holding because from the highest market price of the bitcoin for over 9k dollars it is rapidly falling into 5k dollars and that was a huge loss to us and it is better if we hold our coins than losing it on the volatile market some of them are grabbing the opportunity while the market is low they made a lot of buying of coins because some of them are applying the rule of buy low and sell high by that we can earn a lot of profit when the price of the bitcoin will go back to normal and also there is a chance that the price of the bitcoin will exceed for over 14k dollars and they was a huge profit to us right now.

[Blackdeath]

We have our own different ways on how we would gain our money and cryptocurrency because we are not all the same when it comes to our financial status that other people would be holding their cryptocurrency until the market gets back to maintain their long term investment, others would continue to trade to recover their losses faster, and others will have an opportunity to buy cryptocurrencies that they wanted.

[rexxarofmoknathal]

Everyone single one of us has better aptitudes towards one thing over another and this is true for trading and holding. It also depends on what type of investor you are, whether you go for instant or long-term profit, or whether you do well under the market pressure or not.

For some, holding is the best they can do given their circumstance while for other trading suits them best. In my opinion, it's all very personal!

[ScamViruS]

Trading is good for those who have good trading knowledge. There are many people like you who make profit on one trade and lose two more. Every mistake will teach you but how many mistakes will you make in a lifetime? Maybe one day you will be a good trader to learn from mistakes. In my opinion, holding is good. But no random coins or tokens, you need to make good research and find out some coins / tokens that have a really good future.

[akjuve]

Thanks to everyone.. I really appreciate your time and responses

[FatFork]

Thanks to everyone.. I really appreciate your time and responses

What assets are you holding, if we may know?
Personally, I prefer trading mainly because of the higher yield. But it takes a lot of effort and time. Learning is also part of the process.

I've started trading now but I'm currently holding btc, eth, bosagora and LCX token.
I trade use USDT for trading

[Findingnemo]

when I get to understand how it works and go very well, I can keep making my profit and will never loss more than expectation.

No, trading doesn't work like that and you can't keep making profits for every trades. Even the one who made millions can't be a trader who only made profits all the time. You can have less profit margin to achieve your goals but if you are not making anything after you have given a lot of effort means you just wasted it right. Then it's better to be a holder at least you will be making some returns with no efforts.

Yea.. I use to think about this.. But, I never like to be permanent holder in anyway.. What I will always look for his profit

[hirngespenst]

It's really good that you started trading! Trading is far better than holding and seeing price ups and down! After so many bearish events people should realize now that holding is not a solution, and most of the time holding gives you huge loss, it's a leisure job nowadays! Taking risk in the trade is not that bad! If you are new at trade, start with low capital! Keep learning, practice more, take 6 months or more to learn the trade!

[btcholder]

Holding is not just a thing, that you hold one of crypto asset and you wish it's price increasing everyday or every week or month. And in my experience everything is better when it's under our hands. I mean if you are doing good in trading then it's good, if you doing great with holding good coin or you are doing good  investment on new project than it's good.

Actually it depends which thing is going good in present time. I will not choose one thing over other cause sometimes i do trade well, sometimes doing well with holding and sometimes for investment. You can't win every time so be patience and think which one is good for right situation.

[hahay]

You said yourself if you haven't made a profit so far but you also say trading is better than holding, how can that be? That is a choice and you are free to do that and if both can make a profit, why not do both? Holding the top crypto also gives you a good opportunity for future profits, if you can choose the right coin for holding it will also produce good profits and when it keeps rolling every day, then filling that time with trading is a good choice, You can do both if you want.

You know sir maybe you have contented if you have small profit in this day even small you must stop trading then go trade another day because once you continue and you have attitude of greed you can lose all even your capital. And do short trade buy a good coins that you can trade everyday.

[cryptothreads]

It's really good that you started trading! Trading is far better than holding and seeing price ups and down!

Not everyone is born a good trader and will definitely need a lot of time to practice because the crypto market is very volatile. I have been in this market for many years but have not been sure what to trade and always feel a lot of risk around.

However, if you have the knowledge, you will feel better because you can know what price to buy and set a stop loss if the market suddenly drops prices.

I think it's depend for the needs of traders because not all have extra money, so even they hold their crypto they still have source of income to get. While those traders that have only one source of income and that is by do trading, but for me both are better to get profit but is depend in the situation of the market because holding is good to do when the market is dumping while do trading when market is start to pump.

[Wexnident]

Well, your opinion is probably biased in the fact that you failed at judging the coins that would hit the top 100 of the market no? Well, not blaming you or anything but people have different strengths and weaknesses. Some can immediately observe the possibilities within a coin, and some can't, hence, the difference between trading and holding. Still though, some aspects of holding can be seen from trading and vice versa, specifically judging the future of the coin you are investing in.

Both aspects have their pros and cons, and honestly, it depends on how you judge coins and what type of trading you're in. Holding can be said to be a long - term investment while trading is a short term or day to day trading, and the profits are all honestly left to your own capable judgement.

You said yourself if you haven't made a profit so far but you also say trading is better than holding, how can that be? That is a choice and you are free to do that and if both can make a profit, why not do both? Holding the top crypto also gives you a good opportunity for future profits, if you can choose the right coin for holding it will also produce good profits and when it keeps rolling every day, then filling that time with trading is a good choice, You can do both if you want.

Well, he was holding initially. And based on his experience, holding brings nothing really, that is, if you're bad at judging coins, and in his case, he is really.

[maydna]

Every people start with zero knowledge. They don't have proper skills to trade, but they are still trying to learn more about trading. Some people say trading is hard, but that depends on how they can learn to trade themselves. You are not alone, and I am sure many of us are still learning, and they still got lost, I got lose too. But if we can learn how to analyze the market, I am sure we will get our time to make a profit.

Trading and holding have advantages and disadvantages. Whether we want to trade or hold, we need to have the skills or knowledge, so if we trade, we can make a profit, and if we're going to hold, we need to know which coin is good to hold. The important thing here is you should keep trying to learn about trading and hold because sometimes, hold the coin will be the best option that you can do while the market is not moving anywhere.

You should split your investment and plan your goals, it's not Easy to manage day trading or those who works with scalping the market also have a risk of losing money. There's a need of good understanding  and build your strategy to travel the right path inside this investment industry.

I agree on some points when it comes to differences between hodler and an active trader.we can differentiate the chance on making money and so as with losing.Intensity will vary on each side since we do 
know on which one do actively deal up with volatility and which isnt.

Why would choose if you can eventually do both things? Im doing 2 things yet ive been holding some for long term and doing active trades for daily profits but nothing is assured yet
we know that we cant be sure if we do end up on losing money while we trade on a particular day.,

Man, it could be the other way around. When you have skills, knowledge, and enough experience to do daily or short trading, then I can say trading is better than hodling.
And, what makes me confused about your statement is, how did a hodler makes a huge loss? Maybe because a weakhand hodler rans out of patience and sell to cover losses? No, not a case for me. I always make profit from hodling making sure to sell only when Bitcoin's value is enough to make good profit. Holding doesn't require excellent skills but a good patience instead, and it is the easiest method of investment in crypto space.

[conected]

Every people start with zero knowledge. They don't have proper skills to trade, but they are still trying to learn more about trading. Some people say trading is hard, but that depends on how they can learn to trade themselves. You are not alone, and I am sure many of us are still learning, and they still got lost, I got lose too. But if we can learn how to analyze the market, I am sure we will get our time to make a profit.

Trading and holding have advantages and disadvantages. Whether we want to trade or hold, we need to have the skills or knowledge, so if we trade, we can make a profit, and if we're going to hold, we need to know which coin is good to hold. The important thing here is you should keep trying to learn about trading and hold because sometimes, hold the coin will be the best option that you can do while the market is not moving anywhere.

- A lot of people have mentioned that trading and holding have their own unique features, so it is impossible to say what is better but maybe this view should change with the current market, and we should focus on strengthening our knowledge of trading more, even if we are not good enough or disoriented, we should still try. Because trading is allowing us to cut losses in this market while holding only brings a brutal truth, assets are only continually losing and proportional to our holding time, I rarely see an opportunity for us to change fate with a holding plan

[sujonali1819]

Yes, trading is better than holding. But this is not true for all crypto user. Generally experienced trader should keep trading on and they can make profit from it. But when a newbie will try to trade continually without knowledge instead of holding, he will must loss. So holding is better for them who have not much knowledge about trading.

[BayAngelo]

there is no need holding expect if you believe in the token you are holding. there are few crypto project that are valuable and deserve to hold. trading can be stressful and might be cost intensive.it requires experience and knowledge. if not properly managed, you might loose all your finance. formally, i believe in Holding but i think it is useless to hold token these days.

[Sohyun Park]

Even I prefer Trading over Holding. But, Sometimes it is also good to hold some amount of BTC for years. But, this is a subjective call.

[Yamifoud]

Both of them are risky and both of them can be profitable in some different ways and also in time perfection.
Trading can be good to you IF ONLY if you have knowledge in trading because if not, it surely you'll end up losing.
Holding, well, it matters also of what coin you are holding. Most holders suffer also big losses because of the wrong choice of coin especially those noobs that bought coins during the hypes.

Holding could be of a simple way but we should have deep knowledge on the market and keep track of it because not all the time we just in hold forever, it sometimes we need to sell and buy back again. And for me, Trading is much profitable but of high risk.

Even trading might involve holding as mostly for long term tradings, we need to be patient with our coins in our exchange and try to hold those until we see the price rising again. This is what makes trading and holding somewhere similar.

In short term trades, we might usually buy and sell instantly for profiting some bucks but usually for mid range or long range trading we do have to hold. Holding can give us good and somewhat stable profits as we do not need to panic and sell our coins in those market conditions. Trading might usually create panic in between the traders which might not be good for their health. Even I would prefer holding some top coins rather than trading for short term.

[el kaka22]

It all depends on your capabilities and dedication. If you are a great trader then yeah sure you can count on being a good trader and keep trading, you would make a lot of profit since there are a lot of ups and downs that you can make money out of compared to holder who only makes money at the end when he sells unlike you who made tons of meanwhile. However, what if you are a horrible trader?

You would basically lose all your money and go back to zero with that, I wouldn't suggest something like that at all, wouldn't even make sense for anyone to trade when they are newbies and bad at trading. So holding and trading are different things and all depends on your skill level, act according to it and you will get to make the most profit YOU can make and not the most profit available to the market.

[Stedsm]

Looks like you're right (in most cases where you hodl alts) because those who hodl BTC get to sell their coins for at least their purchase price tag some day while alts (which are easily manipulative) are able to go very high and the fact is, while these alts are just starting their rise, BTC is already way higher compared to its less-than-a-cent worth during the beginning and its $5300 price tag (at the time of writing). Still a very huuuggggeeee gap in terms of success ratio if alts are compared to BTC. Another thing is, trading also needs hodling but it depends on the type of trading you do, but the fact is, in both these types, you need to know/understand and listen to your sixth sense to sell at the right time.

Like always there is no correct answer and it depends on who you are and your skills, you lost money holding and as such now you want to believe you could have made more money with trading, but by your own admission you have not earned any money with trading either, what are you going to think if you lose your money as a trader as well? Will you think that both methods do not work despite overwhelming evidence of the opposite being true? Your mistake was holding some coins no one knew about, when people recommend holding they are always talking about bitcoin and not about altcoins.

[nelson4lov]

While I enjoyed reading everyone's contributions on this thread, I just want to add that I think that holding or hodling is cool however, it makes one to leave money on the table and might potentially lose for not selling at the top just because of the holding – "I'm not a weak hand" mentality.

@OP & everyone else in such situation:  Don't relent on your pursuit on being a more profitable trader. These things happens. It's mostly attributed to the fact that the market isn't dependent on a single man's decision but a collective effort from all participants (ie: traders). Even though, you don't make profits now, at least you're gaining invaluable experience which will help you in the long run. With time, no market movement/price action will be new to you. You won't be caught unfresh/off guard. Just give it time, keep learning and improving.

[rexxarofmoknathal]

Still thinking that trading is more profitable, better than holding  The uncertainty of the market makes it such o matter which one you practice, trading over holding or vice versa, in both situations you'd get frustrated and probably to the point where you become to question your initial action of investing into crypto. Though, ti be fair, it isn't only the crypto market suffering but the stock market and even banks, and probably in comparison crypto is doing much better!

[Twentyonepaylots]

Yes, trading is better than holding. But this is not true for all crypto user. Generally experienced trader should keep trading on and they can make profit from it. But when a newbie will try to trade continually without knowledge instead of holding, he will must loss. So holding is better for them who have not much knowledge about trading.

So in general, trading is winnable for half of the traders and does differently otherwise. In trading not every one is going to win, half will lose and the others will gain, this is the very basic aspect of trading that is why holding is the another option for some for those who does not want to gamble and take the risk of fluctuating market. Both are beneficial when you know how to manage it, it is just that holding takes more of the advantage.

[coinfinger]

Holding would minimize the risk which is mostly preferred by most of the investors. Trading would always keep the risk constant as the price might rally in the opposite direction any time if ever you bought at the wrong point. The markets are highly volatile which might never keep profits from trading easier. You have to make deep technical analysis before performing any trade. You also need to invest maximum time towards trading while minimum in just investing and holding.

Holding might give you fixed profits for long term only if you have invested in some genuine coins. You could always buy low and sell high but what if you bought high and are now looking to sell it again to reinvest in some other coin?

[TitanGEL]

We have different opinions, different skills and thoughts so we cannot say that one strategy is better than the other. I also a trader and I cannot say that I am more profitable than holder because it is very childish for me. Boasting one strategy is not good because it can only destroy reputation. I was a holder before and I also earned money, the important thing that we only should consider if we are making money from it even if it is in trading or it is by holding. 

[AniviaBtc]

Holding the top crypto also gives you a good opportunity for future profits, if you can choose the right coin for holding it will also produce good profits and when it keeps rolling every day, then filling that time with trading is a good choice, You can do both if you want.

Well, he was holding initially. And based on his experience, holding brings nothing really, that is, if you're bad at judging coins, and in his case, he is really.

For me, I want to manipulate my bitcoin and move it from time to time. I don't want my bitcoin to become stable in numbers and also bitcoin must be traded every day. Each and every transaction is another lesson for you to grow more in trading, it will help you to continuously learn more about trading. IF you hold it and you don't do some actions to manipulate your bitcoin then your investment will be useless. The reason you trade is to earn profit no matter how small or big it is, but at least there is changes in the quantity of your bitcoin. I know that trading is risky, but what's the sense of your bitcoin if you will not make it to grow. Your patience will not help you to earn profit with just waiting there for the bitcoin to grow again. Holding is senseless, keep rolling and grinding everyday for you to improve your mind making some good strategies and plans.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Right now the smartest thing to do is Hold, the world goes through a Fundamental that causes a lot of panic, some take refuge in Bitcoin, Gold, the best thing is to stay calm, because by improving the entire market you will have a great recovery and only those that have made Hodl are the ones that will benefit the most.

[so98nn]

It's all about how you look at the things. There was a time when holding was profitable and the same time most safer way of earning. This thought comes in line with old days when price for bitcoin was much lesser. There was great liquidity in the bitcoin market and thus you always had chance where bitcoin rates were growing exponentially.

Now, trading is far easier as you could just take some small profits all the time due to volatility of crypto market. Yes, the more volatile market economy is the more faster trades can be built for profits.

So yeah, may be for now tradings seems to be great way to hunt the market for profits.

[mersal]

Okay,lets talk about daily trading vs holding.

Both have its pros and cons so it depends on the users needs but I feel a holder make the real profit compared to the traders because traders gives lot of effort to make that profit and they are going to cashout and spend their profits for their daily needs too often so in real longer they will hold only the invested capital USD value.

[South Park]

Yes, trading is better than holding. But this is not true for all crypto user. Generally experienced trader should keep trading on and they can make profit from it. But when a newbie will try to trade continually without knowledge instead of holding, he will must loss. So holding is better for them who have not much knowledge about trading.

Both are beneficial when you know how to manage it, it is just that holding takes more of the advantage.

If only things were that simple, there are many studies that show that something between 80% and 90% of all the traders lose all their capital during the first year of trading, so even a trader that is not making any money after one year is still in a better position than most traders out there, only a very small minority makes any significant amount of money, however holding is not that much better as many long term holders buy when the market is in a bubble and they sell at the end of the crash losing a fortune in the process as well.

[pixie85]

OP your mistake was buying and holding in the bear market or the peak of 2017 bull market. Holding works great but you have to buy in the bear market and wait for bull to sell.

3-6000 would be a great level to buy Bitcoin and probably most big altcoins. Buying shitcoins will get you nowhere both bull or bear because the market doesn't matter for them. They just get pumped from time to time. If you catch it great. If not you'll lose in the long run.

[maydna]

With happens today, I guess that OP can make a good profit for a few days ago. This day, bitcoin price back to the higher price and now, the price reaches $6,300, and it seems to have a chance to break $6,400 because the order queue has been rising too. I don't hope to see some bad news that can stop the price from increasing, and if that happens, the price will be back to the lower price. We expect that this time can trigger the price to rise so tomorrow and the next day, the price can break $6,500.

[okala]

For you understand and can fine both the top and the bottom with ease it is better to trade then holding. I have been following the cryptocurrencies market for more then four years now and it is obvious that if you follow the up and down of the market you must have made serious money by now.

[ReiMomo]

For you understand and can fine both the top and the bottom with ease it is better to trade then holding. I have been following the cryptocurrencies market for more then four years now and it is obvious that if you follow the up and down of the market you must have made serious money by now.

I think you can do the same. While holding you are also in trading. You can split your fund into two parts. Trading and while, on the other hand, is holding. Because in trading you did not sure your journey there, you maybe lose or win but in holding all you have to do is patiently wait the right time of cutting your gain.

[tbterryboy]

You chose the wrong asset I guess, or maybe you’re expecting a quick profit and it didn’t work out that way.
Do you think that it’s everyone that is into trading that is making profit? Nah, someone has got to lose for another person to be making profit, so when you’re making profit another person is losing their money in the market.

It is just that people who lose their money in trading never come here to say it, only few of them has that courage. It is only those that makes profit that shares their story and the next thing they giving technical analysis and making predictions on the forum lol.

trading is better than just holding back, it's just that it will be good when you make a profit. however, trading conditions are always a big risk, because you can lose your assets in the near future if the market is unstable. Well, trading and investment have advantages and disadvantages of each, but so far I am still holding my assets.

[geegaw]

Trading can be beneficial to others whether Day trading or Long term trading, it just depends to a person's preference but for me i've abandoned Day trading because just like you i mostly loss that's when i realize to switch strategies because im still to inexperienced to deal with Day trade. So as of now i see my gains in the long run that's why im holding my cryptocurrencies for now.

Our experience may be richer with regular training in the market but it does not mean that we can fully solve trading day, this market is full of complexity and difficulty than we think, so trading days are often a method that few people use regardless of whether they are professional or amateur, holding for a long or short time, the psychological and profit factors will have more guarantees, instead of the intraday pressure. This comparison is incorrect when both seem to be the same, the difference being the explanation of each of us

[Jateng]

Even I prefer Trading over Holding. But, Sometimes it is also good to hold some amount of BTC for years. But, this is a subjective call.

At present the condition of the market is much worse than trading in a bad situation The price of BTC is much lower. We bought and held on to win and that is not worth it now. That's why I can make some money every day by trading and if the price goes up our number will increase.

Seems that you have a lot to know about trading, you gained money everyday by trading and not all can really had that kind of status. Some of the people are not will every day. For people like this, I prefer to buy and hold bitcoin for upcoming months and knowing that they not good as you when it comes to trading. It's a matter of nature of someone if they're losing money and not good at trading better to hold but if they are expert or know about strategy and analysis better them to go trading.

[Latviand]

Well, your opinion is probably biased in the fact that you failed at judging the coins that would hit the top 100 of the market no? Well, not blaming you or anything but people have different strengths and weaknesses. Some can immediately observe the possibilities within a coin, and some can't, hence, the difference between trading and holding. Still though, some aspects of holding can be seen from trading and vice versa, specifically judging the future of the coin you are investing in.

Both aspects have their pros and cons, and honestly, it depends on how you judge coins and what type of trading you're in. Holding can be said to be a long - term investment while trading is a short term or day to day trading, and the profits are all honestly left to your own capable judgement.

You said yourself if you haven't made a profit so far but you also say trading is better than holding, how can that be? That is a choice and you are free to do that and if both can make a profit, why not do both? Holding the top crypto also gives you a good opportunity for future profits, if you can choose the right coin for holding it will also produce good profits and when it keeps rolling every day, then filling that time with trading is a good choice, You can do both if you want.

Well, he was holding initially. And based on his experience, holding brings nothing really, that is, if you're bad at judging coins, and in his case, he is really.

For me, I want to manipulate my bitcoin and move it from time to time. I don't want my bitcoin to become stable in numbers and also bitcoin must be traded every day. Each and every transaction is another lesson for you to grow more in trading, it will help you to continuously learn more about trading. IF you hold it and you don't do some actions to manipulate your bitcoin then your investment will be useless. The reason you trade is to earn profit no matter how small or big it is, but at least there is changes in the quantity of your bitcoin. I know that trading is risky, but what's the sense of your bitcoin if you will not make it to grow. Your patience will not help you to earn profit with just waiting there for the bitcoin to grow again. Holding is senseless, keep rolling and grinding everyday for you to improve your mind making some good strategies and plans.

But it is very risky to trade, it can also cause losses while in holding you just hold and prevent yourself from losing your money. Being in a stable state in holding you BTC is much better to prevent regret and losses in trading, the same in gambling. Don't trade, but invest a certain amount of bitcoin for you to grow and still continue to hold. But the only cons of holding is that if its price becomes down, then you will have a huge loss and you have nothing to do with that. Trading is risky and holding is somehow safe but the only bad thing that will affect it is the changes in its price. So always monitor the price in order for you on what to do. You can buy more bitcoin if its price becomes low so that you can hold more and wait for the price to grow again but the question is when will that happen?"

[milewilda]

Everything has a risk neither you do decide to hold or would actively trading. Both do have its own advantages and disadvantages it will depend on where you do much prefer as long you are
profitable then stick to the system you are into.Not all hodlers are profitable yet we know that theres no such thing about assurance when it comes to trading or investing.
The good thing on active trading is on where you do make money in shortest possible of time since you do deal with active price movement and it goes opposite for hodling.
But for those people who doesnt like to take risk that high then they do choose up to be passive instead.

[qory]

With holding we can get profit more than 1000% but depend with coin we hold, although trading can give us profit every day and we always get passive income I think better to be holder coin than we must trading to get profit.

[krayzie32]

I like to hold some coins for a long time because that is the only way to make a profit during this time. In fact, day trading is not very profitable for investors and you can lose money if the market suddenly collapses. I have been through this stage a lot in the past and it was actually the most difficult time because I didn't know how to make money at that time.

[sweetbet]

I believe that it is indeed better to buy and sell, re-buy and sell, etc, than to hodl in the hope that the crypto will go up. Imagine hodling XRP or TRX and not having sold them when they peaked in price.

[cassavachips]

All will be better from the side of others, trading and holding are good things in each situation. To hold it really must choose the right coins, like bitcoin and ethereum for me both suitable for trading and also for holding

[michellee]

All will be better from the side of others, trading and holding are good things in each situation. To hold it really must choose the right coins, like bitcoin and ethereum for me both suitable for trading and also for holding

You are right. Trading and holding will have the advantages and disadvantages, and that will depend on the coin that we want to trade and hold. If we can get the right coin, we will make a big profit in trading and holding. But in trading, we will have so many potential coins if we can search at the market, and we can analyze one by one. That will give you the profit, but if you decide to hold, make sure you hold the right coin and try to avoid holding a new coin that you don't know for sure.

[Ruso21]

I had the same question of Holding or Trading.

I've been holding for a while and seems to be forever, because I mined/bought in many values to sell it at higher price or when it brakes 20k like before. This holding implies to wait 2~5 years approx.

Now if you trade (depending on your knowledge) you will have a cash flow rotating quicker, no matter if earn or loose.
If you earn, the amount will be bigger than holding during 2~5 years; But if you loose, you might loose more / brake even / earn a little.

This is my point of view, I'm also new to trading and started to study to make small trading.

[fabiola!]

Holding needs patience and lot of time to see your profits grow if you have found good crypto projects , while trading there are instant results , but holding good projects will gain good compound growth over time

[Kasabus]

All will be better from the side of others, trading and holding are good things in each situation. To hold it really must choose the right coins, like bitcoin and ethereum for me both suitable for trading and also for holding

That will give you the profit, but if you decide to hold, make sure you hold the right coin and try to avoid holding a new coin that you don't know for sure.

Holding and trading are both profitable if you end up with those good and potential coins. But trading requires more knowledge and skills so you will know the best trading entry especially that the market keeps on crashing. Yes, trading can give us more profits compared to holding but there are also high chances of losing if we are not sure of our decisions.

[bitgolden]

No, it is not. You are not suddenly making a lot more profits if you start trading, on contrary if you are not a great trader you may end up with a lot more loss than investing. Investing is easy, just go all in if you want to be lazy or just go in first of every month like a cut from your paycheck, think of it like retirement fund that you put 2% of your monthly salary every month for years, you may think that 2% of your income per month is not a big number but when you do it for 10 years and bitcoin increases meanwhile, that will worth more than a good car at the end.

People are really not considering the long term when they are investing in bitcoin for some reason, when you look at stock market people think about even 40-50 years but in crypto we are all about what we can make right now.

[Kelvinid]

I see that you are disappointed with your self. This what I gonna say to you, don't push yourself if trading doesn't work for you. It is something that this is not the right place nor you've destined to be a trader.

In fact, many people had tried to become a trader but quite a lot of them get failed because of this matter. Maybe you would try holding and see what is the result. It is to believe that trading could generate more profits that just of holding but somehow, it is not perfectly working with you and it looks like you are just wasting your time.

[lienfaye]

Each of us have different experience when it comes to trading and holding. Some prefer to be a hodler while others find trading more profitable and suits them most. So it depends on how we deal with it because it can be both profitable depending on our strategy and plan. I already tried both and for me holding is way better because its not complicated as long as I chose a good coin to hold and set a target price on when to sell then its good enough.

[CHENIEN]

to the changes that occurred before the exchange of coins, I would also particularly holding my crypto assets waiting for the volatility of exchange will end it is a great favor to all big investors who will buy bitcoin in a small amount, in the long run, we have their opportunity to gain a big profit because the exchange rate rises are assuredly high to the near future.

[ufaiz50]

I Feel like sharing my opinion and I would like it if anyone can convince me enough

So, let me say I've been trading or started trading for a while now but I still count my self as an Armature Trader so far. Why?
Because I've never made a good profit so far and whenever I make one, I end up at loss later.
But with all these, I still believe in trading than holding my crypto assets because I know with time, when I get to understand how it works and go very well, I can keep making my profit and will never loss more than expectation.

Reason why I said all these is because I hold some crypto assets a while ago because I believe in them and thinking they are going to be like top 100 in the market within years. But I was wrong.
I wish I have been trading since then and probably, I would have gain more or earn more because I hardly loss even as armature as I am.
Many people hodl but I think trading is more preferable.

So Maybe I am right which I think I am but still looking forward to others opinion or advice.

You must understand, that we all trade and hold because we have several reasons. based on your explanation, that you want to make a big profit. so trading is indeed the right way for you.

your mistake is a belief in the uncertainty. I'm sure many of us understand about the uncertainty of the crypto market, so if you only hope that there is no analysis for the coin, you will definitely lose.

then the comparison between trading and holding all depends on market conditions and your goals. so I can't refer to what (trading or hold) is better done. but I personally like the moment trading

[Btc_1856]

All will be better from the side of others, trading and holding are good things in each situation. To hold it really must choose the right coins, like bitcoin and ethereum for me both suitable for trading and also for holding

Each has different characteristics, most of the people don't want to hold their coins because through holding we cannot able to get nothing in previous cases, now most of the companies are choosing the POS model which we might make some percentage on a monthly basis. So we should always choose those coins.

[FanEagle]

We should stop comparing them already, it has been 10 years and people are still dealing with "trading vs holding" thing, shouldn't we beyond this already? You know what is important? Using. Yes that is right, using bitcoin is much better than both of them because it spreads the coin around everywhere, if we had a world where you can live without every cashing out and paying everything with your coin, we would have bitcoin over 100k and we would basically never need to look at bitcoin price but only look at what you can buy with bitcoins you have.

In the end both the trader and holder sells, traders sell right away, holders sell a long time later, but they both sell, we need a system where we do not sell any of our coins and simply increase the adoption rate to a level where we use them.

[Yatsan]

In the end both the trader and holder sells, traders sell right away, holders sell a long time later, but they both sell, we need a system where we do not sell any of our coins and simply increase the adoption rate to a level where we use them.

Both are important and none of them are better than the other. Holding is a good strategy considering that it's a low risk and low maintenance type of investment and  have a high chance of getting profit. Trading is good too! if you have a knowledge in the market and have a lot of time to monitor your trades but, it'd risky for people that is just new in the market considering that it's risky for first timer. Both have different advantages and disadvantages, and shouldn't be compare. As a trader and holder myself, those two should be use to maximize the profit.

In conclusion, both are great to diversify your asset and, I think those two shouldn't be compared since they are both great and both have different purpose. Just do both to maximize the earnings 

[iamaruf]

No both are better. Actually It depends on people.If you don't have enough knowledge about trading then holding is the best choice for you, on the other hand if you are good at trading then trading is best for you. sometimes few coins pump very high that time holder will win and sometimes dump that time holders will be looser. I prefer both holding and trading and it depends on coins, which should I trade or hold.

[Granxis]

I do not prefer to wait, I wait for a maximum of 3 months, I think it is a better idea to make another investment when you lose money with trading. It is necessary to set a time to wait.

[kynaz]

We should stop comparing them already, it has been 10 years and people are still dealing with "trading vs holding" thing, shouldn't we beyond this already? You know what is important? Using. Yes that is right, using bitcoin is much better than both of them because it spreads the coin around everywhere, if we had a world where you can live without every cashing out and paying everything with your coin, we would have bitcoin over 100k and we would basically never need to look at bitcoin price but only look at what you can buy with bitcoins you have.

In the end both the trader and holder sells, traders sell right away, holders sell a long time later, but they both sell, we need a system where we do not sell any of our coins and simply increase the adoption rate to a level where we use them.

The most important thing is not to lose money because any investment strategy needs to be carefully considered and in every way to ensure your profit when participating. Many people will choose to invest more because this is the simplest way that most new investors often do. Of course, day trading is also good if you have good knowledge and are always ready to face risks when the market suddenly drops in a short time.

[leowonderful]

The vast majority of people are better off holding their coins versus trading. Many people are strongly influenced by their emotions while trading and end up making trades based on emotions which usually ends poorly, and plenty others just have bad risk management strategies or make bad trades that can result in severe losses among many other potentially negative things that could happen to newer traders. That's not to say it's impossible to profit from trading, but considering most people just don't have the time, dedication or mentality to learn how to trade, most people are far better off holding.

[Janation]

Each of us have different experience when it comes to trading and holding. Some prefer to be a hodler while others find trading more profitable and suits them most. So it depends on how we deal with it because it can be both profitable depending on our strategy and plan. I already tried both and for me holding is way better because its not complicated as long as I chose a good coin to hold and set a target price on when to sell then its good enough.

I think this depends on the preference and the money of that individual.

As people are wanting to get a profit out of the volatility of cryptocurrencies especially Bitcoin, not all of us can afford to lose. As people have a good amount of money to put in cryptos. I think most of them prefer trading than just holding. I am not saying that most of them don't prefer holding, they are also holding but focus more on trading. Those people who prefer holding are those that can't really invest since they can't afford to lose, meaning they don't have that amount to invest and just buy popular cryptos and hold it for some time.

[SacriFries11]

Rather, it will be correct to build on not only the situation but also your goals.
In fact, you must decide for yourself what will be the best strategy for you at the moment and not the situation that the market dictates.
Moreover, this situation can always change so quickly that you do not have time to react.

It's a matter of how we manage our portfolio, how much will be put on our holding and trading. I think OP had lesson learned about what he experienced and I think we would have the best choice he will make in the future. Holding is preferably for the people who have not yet know about trading, it's the best secure move they had for a moment. If we make mistakes try to learn about it and accept it.

Trading takes a lot of time to learn but its all worth it.

[KrisAlex18]

Well, for me holding is better than trading because it is safer than holding and I am also a beginner on both things, but I stop trading because it is really hard for me to make money on doing that and I always need to observe the market because if we do not do that when trading, for sure we will lose our money it is not like holding that even you are a beginner you can still earn money, you should only need to wait for the bitcoin to goes up again.

Still, both methods of earning money are both good if you learn some basics and nature of that two, having skills and knowledge on that is really a good advantage.

[Shasha80]

The advantages of trading can generate profits in a relatively short time. While holding usually requires a long time to be able to make
a profit, but holding is safer than trading. So it depends on each person looking for profit quickly or looking safe. For me it's better to
trade than holding, because I'm not a person who likes to wait. Therefore I do trading daily, which is the profit that can be obtained
daily too.

[Subbir]

Yeah holding on we've to attend an extended time when its price will rise If there's no guarantee that the worth will rise trading is best than holding because I can make some money a day by trading and that i can make transactions as I wish but it's impossible for hold. If the deadline is raised before the expiry there'll be loss.

[Reatim]

This depends in our objective in entering this market.
Like me i am here because of my faith and believe in Crypto so i invested to keep longer since i am a busy person and have no much time to spend in front of computer to monitor the trading platform so i choose to hold right?because most of my time is for my work and family business so a little time is allotted in forum.but if you have plenty of time and wanted trading to be your bread and butter then choose trading.

[imstillthebest]

well sade mate  . thats good because you know if what suits for you while i notice that most people are still confused if what path they are going to choose  .

they end up trying this and feel unhappy then trying another one and so on but if you will only pause first and think properly you will know if what will be better for you not just for the short term purposes but also most importantly for long term  because we are talking about jobs or busines  .

[hahay]

Holding is not completely safe and the risk will always be there, we cannot expect something safe if we do not have good calculations and management, so whatever is done at least has the risk and not always whatever we do, whether it's trading or holding at least it won't really guarantee for us to get profit every day because the market situation is always changing makes us have to be more skilled in utilizing every moment that happens because everything can go well when we have skills.

[Denamen]

Well, for me holding is better than trading because it is safer than holding and I am also a beginner on both things, but I stop trading because it is really hard for me to make money on doing that and I always need to observe the market because if we do not do that when trading, for sure we will lose our money it is not like holding that even you are a beginner you can still earn money, you should only need to wait for the bitcoin to goes up again.

Still, both methods of earning money are both good if you learn some basics and nature of that two, having skills and knowledge on that is really a good advantage.

I choose to invest because this is a very popular way of making money and if you're lucky, you will earn a huge profit from this type of investment. However, in order to do this you need to have a clear plan from the beginning and carefully study the project you are about to invest. It is possible that the risk will be higher than normal but if you buy it at a low price, you do not need to worry much because when the market starts to enter the uptrend phase, those coins will tend to increase very high.

[gettingrektallthetime]

I think diversification is the best.

E.g. hodl some, trade some

[Janation]

I think diversification is the best.

E.g. hodl some, trade some

As I said this depends on the person.

They might be focus on getting a well-diversified portfolio but then again, what if that person doesn't have the money to invest in that kind of portfolio. Not all of us here can do that, some even just hold money to get a profit.

[conected]

- Sorry, I don't think so, the holding is probably not so safe as you think when the time we spend on holding is an indefinite period of time, besides, even if the project we invest in has a problem, we still can't handle it easily when the principle of holding is perseverance, regardless of changes coming from the project and the market. Incidentally sometimes it can be a failure as many projects have shown they are not really good in the long run, trading gives us more advantage in time and more processing space

[South Park]

OP your mistake was buying and holding in the bear market or the peak of 2017 bull market. Holding works great but you have to buy in the bear market and wait for bull to sell.

3-6000 would be a great level to buy Bitcoin and probably most big altcoins. Buying shitcoins will get you nowhere both bull or bear because the market doesn't matter for them. They just get pumped from time to time. If you catch it great. If not you'll lose in the long run.

Correct, holding your coins blindly is a recipe for disaster, you need to know in what kind of cycle we are and adjust accordingly, after the bull run we experimented in 2017 it was silly to try to enter the market at that point, it was way better to just wait until the price became more reasonable but FOMO takes over most people and they decide to buy anyway even when they know they should not do it, right now it seems like a decent moment to enter the market since the halving is coming and a price of less than 7k for each coin means that you could double your money easily during the next upward correction.

[TheGreatPython]

First of all, the coins you are holding are not even top coins, they are below the top hundred coins in the market and it’s likely that you have invested in some coins with bad market. Those are the kind of coins that are not worth investing your money in, though not all of them.

If you want to invest your money you should invest your money in the top coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, ChainLink and other top coins in the market. Sorry I am not surprised that you were disappointed with Hodl. But whatever, trading is also good if you know how to trade. If you really know how to trade you’re going to make good profit from it.

[matchi2011]

By now you should learn how to work with each investment that you take from your assets, trading will help you if you fully understand the importance of every information that will be available pointing the directions of the projects that you currently holding. You need to invest with your time learning to follow news and important updates from those projects that you are holding.

[Renampun]

it depends...
if you understand how to read charts, have high analytical power and have good intuition you should trade, but if you do not have the skills to read charts should HODL than you lose your money on Trading..

[MikeGarden]

I Feel like sharing my opinion and I would like it if anyone can convince me enough

Many people hodl but I think trading is more preferable.

So Maybe I am right which I think I am but still looking forward to others opinion or advice.

If we are talking about Ilcoin, then I would definitely hodl for a couple of years given its tremendous reputation in security development.

[jems]

Everything will get better if we do it right, including holding or trading. So the point is how we do research and choose what coins to trade or hold.

[Negotiation]

I think diversification is the best.

E.g. hodl some, trade some

They might be focus on getting a well-diversified portfolio but then again, what if that person doesn't have the money to invest in that kind of portfolio. Not all of us here can do that, some even just hold money to get a profit.

I agree with you but both are good because everyone has different opinions about doing business Not everyone likes to trade the same But I think holding is the best Many benefits can be found in it For example everyone likes to hold on to invest in Bitcoin. Because its price is likely to rise.

[Hypnosis00]

Everything will get better if we do it right, including holding or trading. So the point is how we do research and choose what coins to trade or hold.

Thus, if we don't know about trading (and don't have trading skills) better not struggles in trading but rather to stick into just Holding. But if we have knowledge about trading, why not? And why not we don't manage ourselves to have them both and work on it gracefully. This all will matter what is our wants and how we work on our investment.

Yeah, we could say that trading is risky more than of what holding is but have to think that we can generate more money in trading rather more than enough that holding can do. Maybe is not difficult to do so if we are optimistic enough and have courage to make change our life.

[Japinat]

Everything will get better if we do it right, including holding or trading. So the point is how we do research and choose what coins to trade or hold.

That's right, otherwise people are just trading now if that's better of they are just holding if its better.
Both are good actually, this depends on the trader or investor itself, if we feel we are good in short term trading, then we focus on it as that gives short term profit compared to holding, while there are also people who do hold and trade regularly at the same, these people believes in the future of crypto while they take advantage on the crypto volatility.

[Janation]

I think diversification is the best.

E.g. hodl some, trade some

As I said this depends on the person.

They might be focus on getting a well-diversified portfolio but then again, what if that person doesn't have the money to invest in that kind of portfolio. Not all of us here can do that, some even just hold money to get a profit.

I agree with you but both are good because everyone has different opinions about doing business Not everyone likes to trade the same But I think holding is the best Many benefits can be found in it For example everyone likes to hold on to invest in Bitcoin. Because its price is likely to rise.

But the thing about holding is that you are just waiting, and with the volatility of Bitcoin, you never know what you are waiting.

If I will be prefering one here, that would be trading. Holding may be safer choice than trading but the profit that you are getting depends on the price changes that is happening, with trading you can use other cryptocurrencies to trade and take advantage of that price change. We have our choices and I agree with the first one to be honest, combination of the two.

[kakonhat]

Yes, you are right but it's depending on who we are. I mean, If I am a good trader then I can trade than holding. But, I am not good at trading then I should hold than trading.
Actually crypto trading good I take some tricks in trading because there are many opportunities for good coin in a trading position. However, we should be careful about trading or holding depending on your skill.
Thanks.

I think one reason why the OP failed with holding his coins, is that maybe those are coins that have short lifespan and they only had value at the start of trading, the price may be good , give or take couple of weeks to 1 month. And after that, the devs slowly disappear and the project died down. So it is really better to trade them at the very start because you will end up bag holder of worthless coins. But of course, you don't know that will happen. But most coins or tokens have that fate up until now.

[Polar91]

First things first, we shouldn't discourage everyone not to trade wethere they are skilled or not as I do believe that each of one of us can be successful in trading if we'll put all of our determination to reach it. Second thing, we can't really say that trading is more profitable than investing. A lot of investors like Warren Buffett is indeed included them in which he focus in investing rather than trading. Just because we aren't rich enough, it doesn't mean that we couldn't be successful; all we need is critical and risk management.

[jhonjhon]

There are some instances that we might say it was better but there are also times that it can't.
It could be depending on the market situation, just like during the bear season I don't think that trading could be profitable and safe. may holding is very applicable to that time and even experts could either say that better to hold if you don't have many ideas in trading as the situation is really tough and the risk of losing is high.

[South Park]

First of all, the coins you are holding are not even top coins, they are below the top hundred coins in the market and it’s likely that you have invested in some coins with bad market. Those are the kind of coins that are not worth investing your money in, though not all of them.

If you want to invest your money you should invest your money in the top coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, ChainLink and other top coins in the market. Sorry I am not surprised that you were disappointed with Hodl. But whatever, trading is also good if you know how to trade. If you really know how to trade you’re going to make good profit from it.

Holding is a very effective tactic but only when you are holding something that can go up in value over the long term, of the thousands of coins in the market I would only invest and hold a handful of coins, every other coin should be seen as not worthy of your investment or at best as a way to try to make money by trading them, but newbies make the mistake of holding those coins and then they later blame the market of cryptocurrencies for their misfortune when they were the main culprits of choosing and holding such worthless coins in the first place.

[grungelife182]

That's why if you wanted to be a holder, you need to have a lot of mental toughness. What I mean is that you should not just look at the everyday price because you might be thinking that you are not making money because of the worsening market conditions.

But as traders, you really have a chance to gain profit, but you need to have the expertise and the knowledge, otherwise you might lose in the beginning and became to question yourself and then you felt you are just wasting money and time and easily will get burned and quit.

hodling is really really difficult specially of you do not have an influx of cash on a weekly/monthly basis. but of course there are always alternative altcoins which you can study and give focus to hodl like the ilcoin. take a look and you'll be amaze of its non stop development.

And that will give you an option to sell.
Anyway, that would be a life in here. Nothing has to keep holding and even you have a lot of back-up resources still, there is a time that we need to sell them off. Gaining is what we look for and not keeping it just like a treasure. But for this hard time, I'd rather hold for a while and wait for the market to recover. Yes, it probably a long wait but it might be in need unless if you want just to lose your money.

I don't see how altcoins could be able to sustain the market dumps and never it looks profitable than of Bitcoin. Having them an option, I'd never think it works.

[adaseb]

Hodling is usually what makes most people money, trading does not. Maybe there are 5% that are profitable out there but the vast majority who try trading probably lose their entire balance. And with stocks its no different.

I know many people who invested in 2009 when the market hit bottom and one guy invested like $3000 and bought maybe 5 different stocks, and held it for 10 years or so and he made huge gains compared to my other friends who invested maybe $50K in stocks and ended up losing it all. Sure there is someone who is great at trading but most people end up going bust.

Well Holding is a part of trading. What I guess was meant here is actively using the money that you have as capital into trading and not holding any of it. That would be wrong since diversifying how you use your bought assets is an important thing in trading like a pro. You will make money from both and lose from both. Having a held off reserve not only will ease your mind that you have not lost a lot when trading but also act a emergency source of money in times of need.

Bitcoin users are more of hodlers at heart. But they do trade a certain part of their assets.

it all depends on the market situation. however, if you trade when the market is unstable, you will most likely also get a loss. Well, to be honest, I tried to take advantage of those two things. if possible, I will take advantage of trading, but if conditions are not so good, I will hold back as long as possible.

We should always follow their strategy otherwise, it is impossible for us to make profits. It completely depends upon the situation of the market, in some cases we need to hold them otherwise, we have to face the loss by selling them at lower prices.

We have a different kind of techniques how can we make more earnings in trading some of the people are using the copy trading this trading is you can copy the trading activity of the other user and they are the one now manage your transactions and if they win their trade also you can win profit because you follow their activity if you want to make a trade at your own you can do this too but you just need to have a lot of knowledge and skills must be acquired because it consists a lot of talent needed to make more profit like how to read and manage the market graph and next is the chance of getting profit every movement. Still, it depends on the trader how do they manage the situation to make more earnings and profit.

[thesmallgod]

If you have the time, knowledge and mental toughness to hodl. It is all good. Also, I think buying to hodl for long time is only profitable and sensible if you are winning to buy substantial amount of crypto but in case you have little amount, learning and trading will be the best option. My own view though.

[jrrsparkles]

You can't pick one over other, because it highly depends on lot of things like

1.when you enters into the market and .
2.what coins you are holding/ trading.
3.You skills related to trading and investing.

[bitbunnny]

That depends what type of investor you are and what are your skills and knowledge.
If you want active involvment in Bitcoin where your actions contribute to your profit or loss and you have enough skills, knowledge and time then trading is for you.
If you are more passive, you don't like risk and don't know exactly how to start trading and what to do then you are more holding type.
Both of these options have good sides and bad sides and to my opinion combination of these two is the best.

[Oceat]

I agree with this one even if you are trading using Bitcoin this doesn't tell if you would succeed in trading because it's all depends on our skills and knowledge. But I agree that trading is the best than hodling but you can't certainly tell whether you could possibly earn a profit in trading if you lack of knowledge and experience. That's why it's also better to hodl than to trade if your skills and knowledge is not enough to earn a good profit with what you have invested.

[btc78]

we have our own views and strategy in Investing here,some wants to earn shortly while others like me can afford Long time of waiting.

yeah i believe that Trading is Better than Holding in terms of daily profit but what about the risk?or losing each day while in Holding we have only one time to sell and another is to buy?

[DevilSlayer]

That depends what type of investor you are and what are your skills and knowledge.
If you want active involvment in Bitcoin where your actions contribute to your profit or loss and you have enough skills, knowledge and time then trading is for you.
If you are more passive, you don't like risk and don't know exactly how to start trading and what to do then you are more holding type.
Both of these options have good sides and bad sides and to my opinion combination of these two is the best.

We cannot conclude that hodling is better than trading our vice versa,  being a trader is a self employed where it requires actively buying low and selling high cryptocurrencies in order to earn profit while investors or hodlers are only buying and holding for a long time where they earn advantages which is to save more time, work less because their money working for them. It really depends on what people view about holding and trading.

[MCobian]

I also have the same opinion that trading is better than holding. Since I don't like to wait too long make a profit, then trading is the right
choice for me. I'm not saying that holding is bad, but when compared to trading. I prefer trading. Moreover, holding must have a strong
mentality and high patience. And I do not have these criteria. Then trading is more suitable for me.

sometimes Unstable market is much better for daytrading because in this situation prices comes Up and down advantage for traders.
look if you will be buying the dumping token early today and in the afternoon value changed?isn't it a good profit?but if the price continue to drop then you can make it as semi long term holding right?
safer the trading the profit we can have.
but of course this is risky and you cannot hinder everything from happening so just a  luck is the best weapon and of course knowledge and strategy.

[davidroux]

Holding is very time-consuming to wait and we are always worried about our investments because the crypto market is highly volatile. However, day trading requires a lot of knowledge and to become a good trader, you will have to go through a lot of difficulties. Also, you can choose to invest when the market goes up because this is the safest way to make money.

- When we invest, no method is the safest because the market can go up then go down immediately is very normal, investing like your method is probably too lacking in flexibility, back to the topic of trading and holding, each method will present a difficult problem for us, perseverance in a certain direction will make us very rigid, lacking flexibility in the market. Trading and holding can go side by side very easily, don't think that we don't have the qualities to become a trader or be impatient to become holders, all are within the scope of possible, effort will be achieved

[cutesgirl]

Investing only get profit more than one or two months and some time we got problem with investing assets because price going down, but when you have chance to get much profit with trading is better than you keep hold asset for long term and the least your assets going down, but now I only take profit with trading.

[Rosilito]

We can't compare one stuff after another, buddy. Both have different sense of practices one must comply with to succeed in a certain field of choice. It may look like, to you, that trading is profitable better than holding but we can't be sure. One thing that I knew, success would come in if such person would understand thoroughly a stuff he's working on, understand it fully detailed, so that he can avoid unnecessary mistakes. After all, such choices is certainly about someone's interest,  IMO. You want to gain? Then work hard for it, and look for the necessary stuff you'll be needing to make some progress and improve.

[CHENIEN]

both of these are a good combination with some different methods such as trading in the market, it is very panic sell movement it needs more ability option with more effort to sell a product to gain for a short period due to some goods have made expiration date. Holding is for the long term because the solid product is needed to stock and waiting for the price increase to trade.

[Janation]

Investing only get profit more than one or two months and some time we got problem with investing assets because price going down, but when you have chance to get much profit with trading is better than you keep hold asset for long term and the least your assets going down, but now I only take profit with trading.

What do you mean by that?

When the prices go down, traders are also affected. It is the market that we are talking about here, it is not that they are trading using other markets. Based on the books, all of the profits you've earned in trading is a passive income but I guess we could say here that holding is a passive way of getting a profit while trading is an active way of earning profit.

[quality.crypto]

Investing only get profit more than one or two months and some time we got problem with investing assets because price going down, but when you have chance to get much profit with trading is better than you keep hold asset for long term and the least your assets going down, but now I only take profit with trading.

Exactly, through trading, we are going to make a very little amount of money, holding long term will always help you to make much more profit. It completely depends on the asset you will choose, in trading some time it is impossible for us to predict the market situation and we need to be very careful with the fluctuations.

Holding will be good but talking about a long term hold will ALWAYS give you more profit, I have to disagree with this one. Nothing will give you assurance nor you'll see that buying and hold for a year or two the price will move high.
How about that happening last 2017? I bought Bitcoin at $17k and even I hold until today, I'm still losing. I believe that it works all the time. But if you are good at trading it much more profitable and much higher chances that you'll gain high that of holding. Or it will be better to work both holding and trading.

[BitcoinTurk]

Yes, when trading and hodl are compared, trading certainly will be more profitable. Although hodl seems boring, it is always lucrative in the long term, but I think trading is more profitable because money is not valued where it stands. By trading, it both increases your current long-term investment and prevents your money from losing value by waiting. For this reason, I always aim to increase my long-term investments in the trading pairs that I have determined, and hodl almost a small amount of my existing capital. Again, I would like to state that your current investment will be valued and increased on USD basis while hodl, but in case of trading, your capital will increase for both USD and cryptocurrency. As someone who loves to trade actively, I always prefer to trade as I want to make the most of my capital.

[carlisle1]

Reason why I said all these is because I hold some crypto assets a while ago because I believe in them and thinking they are going to be like top 100 in the market within years. But I was wrong.

With this ?yeah for sure you are wrong because you have expected too much,you don't even value the meaning of Volatility and Patience.

you don't deserve to be a Holder.

I wish I have been trading since then and probably, I would have gain more or earn more because I hardly loss even as armature as I am.
Many people hodl but I think trading is more preferable.

So Maybe I am right which I think I am but still looking forward to others opinion or advice.

How sure you are that you'll be gaining from trading if you had started earlier?do you really knew trading that time?or just because you are knowledgeable now you think you can apply than in past?

[bearexin]

It’s not that holding is bad, it’s a matter of how long it’s going to take before you make that profit. You might buy Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency to hold, but the next two years might not be so good for that cryptocurrency, and you wouldn’t make profit through out the two years till the perfect time comes.

So, if you want to HODL you should ask yourself if you’re ready to have such patience till the price of the asset goes up. Take your time to check the chart of Bitcoin from the start to now, you will notice that lows for every year mostly higher. We all know very well that those who invested earlier made profit after almost ten years, what of those that couldn’t have patience till then? Lol they probably missed out.

Hodling bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies is far faster than earning other assets like holding some stocks in which volatility is slower compared to cryptocurrency. Trading cryptocurrency is faster than hodling obviously if we are talking about the possible profit you can earn in a short span of time but I think that hodling is safer than trading it daily if we are talking about long term especially if you can see that a certain asset has its own time that it will give you a fortune if you hodl it.

simple! if you want to hold, you just simply do the simple thing. invest money that you will not use in the next few years, or according to how long you will hold your investment in one of the coins.

[samcrypto]

Sometimes it would depend, OP.
Although holding is like a passive trading strategy, there might be situations where you need to hold your trades for now.
There are situations where day trading is inapplicable such as when the market or the coin you're trading decreased is around <-1%.
Holding is like a safe-play at some cases, that's why people prefer to do that strategy quite often.

Actually it will depend on the skills of the trader and will depend on the market situation but for me can be more profitable if you know what you are doing. Some hodlers are contented, and they are willing to wait until the market reaches their goal. If a trader is more profitable, then everyone should become a trader but since we all have differences, many hodlers are still earning big despite of being inactive.

[Kurokonobasuke]

All people are like to earned profit, but we know that there’s a different way on earning profit.
Indeed, because in trading our money will have a movement on every trade we did. If you hold your money there is no earned on it because you just keep your money in your pocket and it would be stable. Taking a risk in trading is good because you just explore yourselves on what you can earned if you take yourself in risk. Yes, we know that we are not 100% sure if we earned in profit in trading, but if we don’t try trading there’s no grow on our assets and it will remain a big WHAT IF’S.

People should think before investing only, whether to hold or to trade. There is some coin which we need to hold them for the long term and it will help us to make a decent profit. Whenever I choose trade my choice is always investment few percentages of investment into trading and the rest of my investment into the holdings.

[wingfield_crypto]

     Trading is very harsh and unforgiving with those who lack information or make mistakes. At the same time, trading also brings a lot of stress and self-control. Trading is much more profitable, but you have to adapt to the conditions I said. I prefer the holding company because I think that the investments are made to obtain profit in the medium and long term.

[mico.serge]

If you are pretty good at trading and some TA with the pumps and dumps then trading is indeed really for you

[Becky666]

Candidly speaking, holding is rewarding but trading is more profitable than holding. I have been through in the two arms of these branch of cryptocurrency. Trading for me can earn me approximately 5% every week which is my daily profit for every opportunity that exist in the process. Sometimes, when the market stand positively to my side, I earn as high as 9% which happened on mid term trade.

For holding, there is no huge profit even sometimes the portfolios drop beyond our imaginations because of the fragility of the cryptocurrency market. Holding is rewarding when the market experience a huge bullish moments.

If you can predict. Maybe you can share it. Which coin did you discuss? You have to be able to show it not just give nonsense. Because with that we can digest what you have to say

[South Park]

Sure there is someone who is great at trading but most people end up going bust.

When it comes to the profits you can have there is no doubt  that trading is better than holding however as you say the majority of those that try to trade never get any success and they lose all their money, however we must not assume that holding is going to be easy at all, how many people bought during 2017 at the end of the bubble and sold their coins during the crash of 2018 and lost money because of it? Most likely they had the idea of holding for the long term but when the crash made them to lose money they were unable to hold their coins any longer and sold their coins in panic.

simple! if you want to hold, you just simply do the simple thing. invest money that you will not use in the next few years, or according to how long you will hold your investment in one of the coins.

There is some coin which we need to hold them for the long term and it will help us to make a decent profit.

If you can predict. Maybe you can share it. Which coin did you discuss? You have to be able to show it not just give nonsense. Because with that we can digest what you have to say

Yeah i agree but i think he just probably talks about a random coin which he doesn't know himself as well but yeah there is coin that can gives us good profit over time and of course bitcoin is obviously one of them but if you'll look to the growth of crypto you can maybe, just maybe predict if a certain coin might do good in a couple of years, as for me i have been holding some btc, xrp and ltc. Holding really means we are ready to wait for quite some time because pump doesn't happen immediately so i agree to what the other reply said that you will not use the money for the next years because thats what holding means.

[ololajulo]

I Feel like sharing my opinion and I would like it if anyone can convince me enough

- I've never made a good profit so far and whenever I make one, I end up at loss later.
-I still believe in trading than holding my crypto assets because I know with time, when I get to understand how it works and go very well, I can keep making my profit and will never loss more than expectation.
-I believe in them and thinking they are going to be like top 100 in the market within years. But I was wrong. 

Most of your opinion and believe needs to be corrected to make profit. In any business we need to be able encourage change especially when the beliefs are not profitable in the market. Short term holders dont get the best of the space and investing all fund in 1-3 project wont reduce the risk. spread your investment and minimise the risk. Top 100 are just in marketcap not in percentage of trade volume, we should give consideration to percentage of volume traded than coin position in coin marketcap.

[darewaller]

People are forgetting that there are different levels of trading skill that is involved and not everyone has the same level. Some people are so great at what they are doing that they literally do leverage trading on minutes with high leverage and they use bots to trade with working towards the spread as well.

So, that is something you can't really do unless you are very very skilled at what you do, a newbie can only try to understand what you are talking about let alone even try to do it. However what a newbie can do is buy 100 dollars per month, that way you are both increasing your bitcoin amount and also do not get hurt by the ups and downs of the price changes. Simply everyone has to react to bitcoin the way they know how, everyone has their own pace.

[cutesgirl]

When trading not available get much profit I think investing become best solution with moment right now, bitcoin and altcoin look hard for reach to higher price and not give us chance to get back on higher price, but when all it done and bitcoin have been on the top price always have chance for trading than investing.

[aioc]

It still depends on the situation of the market, good trading and making a profit out of it needs a lot of time and practice if you can give it ample time and you are dedicated to learning how to trade then go for it, there are people who easily learn how to trade and there are people who wants an easy way to make a profit by just holding their coin.

It depends in the view of the trader. If he want to hold then let him hold but if ge wants him to day trade then let him to do it. We cannot force someone to do just because holding is better than trading or vice versa. I do both after all,  I have certain coin which I do holding and there some cryptocurrencies for me that is good for day trading.

every crypto enthuasiast has different prospective., some of us want to trade to earn some profit.. some of us are hodlers.. holding an asset is not easy also.. it will put your mind into 50/50 decision game which is very hard..

[hahay]

every crypto enthuasiast has different prospective., some of us want to trade to earn some profit.. some of us are hodlers.. holding an asset is not easy also.. it will put your mind into 50/50 decision game which is very hard..

All of these methods are basically to make a profit, so trading and investing are not ways to complicate every decision you will make because this is not a game. However, trading and investing you can learn and the experience you have will at least make both of these activities provide benefits that you can get from time to time, so I don't think if trading is better than holding and vice versa.

[XCANA]

Well this can be argue differently by different individuals on this forum because we're some how holding why others are potentially trading their coins. The two are different in the sense that, they all bring all profits to those involved. Trading has more profit than the holding, I have been holding some of my coins from 2018 and just managed to add due to the recent raise in the price of Ethereum. If that funds were to be use for trading, there should  have been more profit than just holding. So, trading is far better than holding.

[SacriFries11]

every crypto enthuasiast has different prospective., some of us want to trade to earn some profit.. some of us are hodlers.. holding an asset is not easy also.. it will put your mind into 50/50 decision game which is very hard..

If your new in cryptocurrency it's better to start with holding with your in process of learning about trading. It's not easy to start with trading since you need a lot of strategic plans and techniques to get profits. Keep in mind that trading has higher risky compared to holding. You must hold great coins and also need to study the platform itself because it might end up with nothing if your not good in analyzing the purpose and application of it.

[chippy.hogan]

Trading is good for those who are good at chart reading, like having a good timing when it comes to price.. Crypto price is volatile so trading isnt that easy.. I do prefer hodling as well. Im on long.

[peter0425]

It is you opinion and strategy but not ours,i Hold my currency because i have my own Job in real life and small business so by that i don't have to spend my time in trading when i can just accumulate coins and let them stay in my wallets.
maybe if time comes of my retirement?then i will consider Trading but for now?i am enjoying to see my Folio going up and down and i am not bothered by that.

[cosmofly]

I just think that you have misunderstood investment and you chose the wrong businesses for long-term investment. For trading, you need a good time to enter an order and get profit. For holders, they need to choose good businesses for long-term investment. Of course, everyone has different abilities. some people will trade better but there are people who are holders will make more money. Each field has its own difficulties and you need to find it and answer that question. That will be the turning point for you to earn more money in the future.

[Mpamaegbu]

Perhaps this OP meant, "(Day) Trading is better than Holding" as mistakenly captured in the title. The inclusion of "Day" is mine, notably. I did that because I believe we all (should) know that hodling is trading too but on a long term. OP should've differentiated that. That said, it's not just enough to buy (that would be buying on impulse), the parameters for buying or selling should've been seen to have been met before one takes the action. To know all that, one must acquire the set skills. Set skills come with reading, research and being mentored by others.

[Kunnu]

Trading is much risky than holding but it can be more beneficial than holding. There are many expert cryptocurrency traders who didn't become expert immediately for sure they will have seen many ups and downs which is a part of trading so basically experience does matter and we have to do attempts to be experienced so I think trading is good for those who are experienced because they understand how to afford and cover the loss and the other side there is no need to have experience about holding of some good coins/tokens that's why mostly people like to hold.

[erickkyut]

I Feel like sharing my opinion and I would like it if anyone can convince me enough

So, let me say I've been trading or started trading for a while now but I still count my self as an Armature Trader so far. Why?
Because I've never made a good profit so far and whenever I make one, I end up at loss later.
But with all these, I still believe in trading than holding my crypto assets because I know with time, when I get to understand how it works and go very well, I can keep making my profit and will never loss more than expectation.

Reason why I said all these is because I hold some crypto assets a while ago because I believe in them and thinking they are going to be like top 100 in the market within years. But I was wrong.
I wish I have been trading since then and probably, I would have gain more or earn more because I hardly loss even as armature as I am.
Many people hodl but I think trading is more preferable.

So Maybe I am right which I think I am but still looking forward to others opinion or advice.

I think the title is kinda misleading. I'm also not a pro when it comes to trading but I just want to share some of what I've learnt through continously trying it.

Which is better, trading or holding? It depends on your goal. If you want to maximize your capital in short term, I recommend that you do trading. If your goal is for long term, holding is more ideal. Butif you will do trading, mjist make sure that you are ready. What I mean with being ready is that you are properly equipped with knowledge. For holding, make sure that you also know what you are buying. Buy crypto whose already proven its worth. Sometimes, being on the top 10 is not an assurance to hold a coin. I suggest that you focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum for holding.

I'm still a work in progress, also striving for more learnings abiut cryptocurrency. I hipe that this is somehow helpful. Good luck and God bless us more!

[Sadlife]

Holding can also be a form of trading in my perspective because we have this shorting and longing methods and longing is the same as holding because you wait for the right time for the price to come to that amount even in long periods of time because that's where the profits are but that depends if you've bought the right crypto's.

[Dr.Osh]

I think, currently holding is better than taking the risk to trade. the current state can make prices go up, or down. it's just that, I feel that for now, trading has a big enough risk, because the price is very difficult to guess. to be honest, I've been holding ethereum since the price was under $ 150, and now it's proven that holding it is still pretty good. besides, I'm sure the price is still growing.

[xenxen]

in my opinion its better to being a holder than to trader because in holder there's have a low risk than to trade as long as you choose a good coin.. the benefit to being a trader is a fast profit but high in risk.

[sky_Gritzz]

i think no one is better, trading or holding is same and make a good profit if we can make a good choise.
trading is full of risk but when you get a right choise it will give you a big profit, and holding is just for waiting the best time to sell, low risk and of couse it profit.
so this is my trading and holding strategy, i've holding my half of crypto asset and half to trade, when i get lost in trading i can safe half of it, like that.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

Indeed. It is difficult for me to say which is better and not because it still depends on the person on how he would gain profits by just holding and trading all of his cryptocurrency. The only difference i see is that in trading there is a possibility to gain more profit faster but the risk is higher, while in holding gaining profit is very slow, but the risk is lower.

As we all know that RISK = REWARD ratio thing.It will vary on a person on which one he would choose up and we should all
thing on whats the corresponding risk into such action.

in my opinion its better to being a holder than to trader because in holder there's have a low risk than to trade as long as you choose a good coin.. the benefit to being a trader is a fast profit but high in risk.

Fast profit? it depends on the growth but if you do talk about established coins then level of profitability wont really be the same when you hold up an unfamiliar coin and did pump for some time.
Holding for to long is indeed have lower risk rather than trading actively but in profit wise then active trading would be much more worth but we know that not all
would have that kind of capability to play with the market actively.

[Dr.Osh]

in my opinion its better to being a holder than to trader because in holder there's have a low risk than to trade as long as you choose a good coin.. the benefit to being a trader is a fast profit but high in risk.

for now, that's what I did. it's just that, some people need daily, or weekly income. so they use trading rather than holding. Well, because of the greater risk, I chose to hold it until now. however, I cannot afford the risk of trading every day, or week to earn. trading has several times given me bad experiences.

[tvplus006]

As practice shows, holders end up earning more than traders. Traders often lose their Deposit due to the high risk and high volatility of the cryptocurrency. But those who really know how to trade, they certainly have achieved good indicators in this business.

Timing is very important, if holders knew the right time to sell their holdings then they have the privilege to earned decent than those day traders who are prone losing money with the high volatility nature of this market. Being a responsible investor you need to have good skills in observing and assessing the actual market situation.

I have many times had such a situation that transactions were closed with a profit, but since orders were closed in parts, I saw after a while that my deposit in bitcoins became less. In addition, I could not physically make a profit on all market movements and some of the transactions were at a loss. So I split my Deposit 50x50: half for hodl, and the second part for trading.

[Viscore]

So I split my Deposit 50x50: half for hodl, and the second part for trading.

Well, I can say that it's the best thing to manage your funds, that way, you'll be active monitoring the market as you have the short term and long term interest, problem with some is that they just invest and hold for long term, but they failed to follow the status of the coin/s they are holding, so they can't make an action at the right timing.

if they hold bitcoin only, well, I guess they can trust it as bitcoin will be bitcoin regardless of how many years you will hold, your holding would still be worthy.

[milandres0207]

Trading is not like what others thought where you can just put the amount of price you like to set whether you buy and sell
because Trading needs knowledge and analysis in terms of reading in the chart graph. Although the market was unpredictable
still we can predict anyhow that could be the price in the future it may not be accurate but close unto it.

[kotajikikox]

I dont mind what will other says but for me?it is Holding that is much better than Trading.

Because in holding there are no Great skills needed to invest specially if you are Buying Bitcoin as this is surely safe than daytrading .

[GruHabiiml]

If you have experience and just a little luck, then trading will bring the desired profit.

[tvplus006]

I think in some cases it's definetely a good idea to hodl. For example, I bought BNB long time ago. To be honest, I just forgot about having it. Recently, I logged into my acc on the Binance and suddenly saw the current BNB price. So that's the case how you can put some ridiculous money and win later.

This tactic only works if you have correctly identified the coin for the hodl. In most cases, newcomers buy altcoins and hold them, mistakenly believing that they will necessarily increase in price. BNB is a really good coin, especially for those who trade on the Binance exchange.

[bitcok]

If identifying the correct coin is easy many would have made a fortune, i am really glad that i was here from the beginning and where ever you put money you will land in a huge profit and when the altcoin market started everyone was doing the same and made a good profit and that is the situation when the ICO market started and i stopped investing when the scams started hitting left and right and like everyone i lost a lot of money and now it is not that easy to find the best projects.

[adzino]

You are contradicting yourself. You are saying that the market is unpredictable but then again, you say that we can predict the future price.
Lets be clear over here. You can't predict what the future price will be. If people were able to predict the future event, they will prepare accordingly to benefit from the future, but this preparation will eventually alter what would have happened in the future. You know what I mean right? But still, based on the future events, you can somewhat make a blind assume what the price might be.

[Janation]

     Trading is very harsh and unforgiving with those who lack information or make mistakes. At the same time, trading also brings a lot of stress and self-control. Trading is much more profitable, but you have to adapt to the conditions I said. I prefer the holding company because I think that the investments are made to obtain profit in the medium and long term.

Making mistakes are fine but lacking information or knowledge? That is a different question.

No one can really predict what will happen in the future, how the market will be putting it in a way. That is the reason why we can still make mistakes, despite the knowledge and skills we have. Another thing is that we are just predicting, we are not really pinpointing where will the price go that is why gathering information is important, having the knowledge to do so is important.

[BD Money365]

it depends on how you arbiter coins and what type of trading you're in. Hold can be said to be a long - term investment - dub investment bit trading is a tiny call or day to day trading, and the profits are every one of honestly gone to your peculiar adept judgement. it depends which idea is untaken clever in display time. I will not go for one object over other origin now and then i puzzle out trade well, occasionally liability perfectly with unite and now and then for investment. You humbug triumph every time subsequently be patience and suppose which one is polite for proper situation.

Holding = 0 risk

Trading = Loose half of your assets

Margin Trading = Loose everything

But everyone knows that daily trading brings more profit, but it is more risky if the margin is still used. Therefore, everyone should decide for themselves whether it will be more convenient for them to hold or trade.

Well in short, for more basic stand about trading and holding, if you want to regularly risk your money as you expect for reward then go with trading but make sure you have the proper knowledge to deal with the very uncertain market, otherwise if you believe that there is only one way for the coin to go, upwards, then hold it before the price explodes. Arguing on both of this makes no sense at all, you can just trade your money while having some money invested for holding.

[Gafman]

Trading and Holding (HODL) have both their advantages and disadvantages at the end of the day it depends on what works for the individual best.

As a trader, i have to go with Trading rather than holding in the sense that you control what you gain and loose in trading and also opt for either scalping, weekly or even Monthly trades, The choice is yours. Trading just gives an individual a lot of options on what to do with their capital

[Peterson60]

I would say that each has its pros and cons. I do both, I hold some Bitcoins and I also day trade (various coins). If you are starting out, go for some trusted crypto exchange (in case of hold) or crypto broker (in case of day trading). Blockgeeks has an extensive guide on how to select a crypto exchange and Tradinbeasts on how to select a reputable crypto broker. Hope this helps.

Everyone should do both! Deeper discussion about this will lead that you need to do both if you wish to be successful in long run. Having some fiat (or stable coin) and bitcoins (or desired coin for trading) on holding, adding more when you can, and amounts for trading (of course from both) will put you on the right spot and you will be able to act according to the current market situation. Again you need to choose bitcoin (or some other coin you believe) so if you make a bad move and you get stuck with coins you can simply put them on hold and use your stash to continue with your trading strategies.
It's not a question is it better to trade or hold, question is about choosing the right coin and right timing! If you choose good you make profit, if not you use your backup strategy (better to have it, you learn that along the way)!

[leyton11]

In the beginning, I thought so. But now I was wrong to think trading was that easy. I spent over $ 2,000 on my silly lessons because I didn't know how to manage my capital and couldn't control my emotions. When you become a trader, it seems that you need to purify yourself and turn yourself into a different person. That road was really tough and I found myself losing more. I then went back to speculation, it was profitable for me and I was more comfortable doing what I liked.
So, I conclude that each person will have a different forte and we should try both to see which is best. There is no easier way to make money, it is important whether we fit it or not.

[shadowdio]

Well you can do both, holding cryptos that has potential project and you can do trading that has high volume like bitcoin or ethereum. It depends what do you like or what is your strategy to earn money with cryptocurrencies.

[pakhitheboss]

I am not a big risk-taker, therefore, I avoid trading and focus more on Holding. I have friends that do trading every day and sometimes they make money and sometimes they lose some. But, I am okay with what I have and do not want to lose anyone of those. When the time comes I will go ahead and make some good profits.

Of course trading is more profitable compare to holding but it will happen only if you will become professional trader which takes a lot of time to obtain and plenty of experience to gain. But again, once you will become a professional trader then you will be earning a profit for a life time as no one can steal your knowledge in trading.

Compare to holding that you will need to be patience and will wait for a months or years to profit in other hand you can profit daily in trading if you will become a daily trader.

[EdvinZ]

Probably the holding strategy is well suited for really TOP projects, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. Most likely, most coins do not make sense to hold for a long time, because often their price constantly decreases from the moment they are listed on exchanges. From this we can conclude that it is best to trade really popular cryptocurrencies. This solves a lot of problems when choosing trading pairs for trading.

[Negotiation]

I think trading is better than holding even if trading solves the problem If we hold we have to wait for a certain time But every day we gain something or the other from trading  but it is possible to recover very quickly. But no one knows exactly when to pump while holding  The market always fluctuates because Bitcoin is not stable But now the price of Bitcoin is rising. It is possible to make some profit by holding now But I prefer to trade from hold.

[tvplus006]

I am not a big risk-taker, therefore, I avoid trading and focus more on Holding. I have friends that do trading every day and sometimes they make money and sometimes they lose some.

Many novice traders lose their deposit due to a misinterpretation of the market. Many people see successful trades made by other traders, and they think that it is very easy to make money from trading. But statistics show that only a small percentage of traders actually earn decent money, and many part with their deposit.

Right, Need time to learn trade but anyone can't steal this trade experience. Miracle can't be happen in all coin like Bitcoin, Ethereum or Binance coin for holding rewards. Very few coin coin will survive for long time in cryptocurrency, you can earn from every coin. By trade experience you will know which coin is best for long time hold.

[taufik123]

Holding is only done when we have an analysis of the coins we are holding. Bitcoin, ethereum might be the TOP coins today. But we also have to have a strategy and targets to achieve, Holding is not only done in a few weeks, depending on the target set.

Trading also has advantages compared to Holding. Trading by utilizing fluctuations in coin prices will benefit, but trading must be equipped with sufficient Analysis and Fundamental Science, to avoid Losses due to Cut Loss and others,

Holding or trading has the advantages of each depending on how we apply it so that it will benefit according to the specified target.

[Yamifoud]

Probably the holding strategy is well suited for really TOP projects, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. Most likely, most coins do not make sense to hold for a long time, because often their price constantly decreases from the moment they are listed on exchanges. From this we can conclude that it is best to trade really popular cryptocurrencies. This solves a lot of problems when choosing trading pairs for trading.

Holding will matter what coin you hold and the making profit as well.
Yeah, holding those garbage coins won't make you any assurance and the same thing if you will use it for a trade.
Trading is just an option to take while holding, in fact, I quite doing it as well in order not to get bored holding and waiting for their price to get high. And now, I realize and I find out that we are making more money than simply just holding. That is really working for me but I'm not sure if the others do great also.

[gabbie2010]

The advantages of trading can generate profits in a relatively short time. While holding usually requires a long time to be able to make
a profit, but holding is safer than trading. So it depends on each person looking for profit quickly or looking safe. For me it's better to
trade than holding, because I'm not a person who likes to wait. Therefore I do trading daily, which is the profit that can be obtained
daily too.

I feel safe while hodling my coin while its proofing difficult for me to trade just as the OP commented, my desire also is to trade on a short term basis while earning some profits however high volatile in the prices of crypto is making it difficult to my trading strategy, I had now channelled my efforts to learning forex trading which I feel is more or less risky to crypto trading.

[SolarWindMiningCompany]

I Feel like sharing my opinion and I would like it if anyone can convince me enough

So, let me say I've been trading or started trading for a while now but I still count my self as an Armature Trader so far. Why?
Because I've never made a good profit so far and whenever I make one, I end up at loss later.
But with all these, I still believe in trading than holding my crypto assets because I know with time, when I get to understand how it works and go very well, I can keep making my profit and will never loss more than expectation.

Reason why I said all these is because I hold some crypto assets a while ago because I believe in them and thinking they are going to be like top 100 in the market within years. But I was wrong.
I wish I have been trading since then and probably, I would have gain more or earn more because I hardly loss even as armature as I am.
Many people hodl but I think trading is more preferable.

So Maybe I am right which I think I am but still looking forward to others opinion or advice.

100 percent agree with you. My reason is simple, I can sit be a holder while trading . What differentiated me from normal holders is asset dormancy. In real life business I learnt that all assets should yet some profit weekly or monthly irrespective of how little and that's the mentality o have in crypto too

[bitgoldpanther1978]

I think Holding is good only if you are 100% sure about the coins you are going to hold in a long term, but if not instead of holdings
better to apply day trading rather than this things. Because We know both are risky but implementing day trading is much
more realistic to gain most of often here in cryptocurrency.

[Sirait]

I would say that each has its pros and cons. I do both, I hold some Bitcoins and I also day trade (various coins). If you are starting out, go for some trusted crypto exchange (in case of hold) or crypto broker (in case of day trading). Blockgeeks has an extensive guide on how to select a crypto exchange and Tradinbeasts on how to select a reputable crypto broker. Hope this helps.

doing both is the best way, I am the same as you do trading and holding, but I am not very active in trading because my ability is still very low

btw, thank you for the reference link you gave, I will do some research before choosing

[ScamViruS]

Yeah. It is risky to hold a coin without having a clear idea about its future. But there is nothing to say 100% sure. Many times top coins fall big or go away with investors money. I don’t see anything other than bitcoin for a long hold. The bitcoin market may be volatile but there is absolutely no chance of losing your all money here, if you hold on long. Speaking from my own experience. I lost all my bitcoins by investing in some coins which I have not yet been able to recover. So now I prefer to hold Bitcoin. And there is a risk in trading if you do not have the right knowledge about trading. It won't take long for you to lose all your funds if you don't have the knowledge of trading.

[Janation]

I am not a big risk-taker, therefore, I avoid trading and focus more on Holding. I have friends that do trading every day and sometimes they make money and sometimes they lose some. But, I am okay with what I have and do not want to lose anyone of those. When the time comes I will go ahead and make some good profits.

To be honest, holding is not that bad and it is a compatible strategy for you since you already said that you are not a big risk-taker.

I respect your choice but let me say some things about it. Despite holding being a good strategy, it is slow and there are those moments or times that you would earn more profit if you trade than hold it. But I think it is better for you if you try to ride the boat of trading slowly but not really putting it all in there, just try it is a small amount. Trading is a better strategy but doing both is far more better.

Holding is good for real holders only because some people can't hold long enough and they will panic when the market is dumping, they are not getting used to it, but if a trader likes real action, he can also trade and hold at the same time, I believe traders will not be successful in crypto if they are not holder int he first place, especially if they buy at a very early stage and have keep their bitcoin when the market is on bull run or even now.

Let us be inspired but those who are making a fortune holding bitcoin, I know its we are not in the early stage anymore, but can't limit the success of bitcoin.

[tbterryboy]

Well, even long term invest strategy has something important ; how long can you really hold it? Because if you say you are a holder and sell after 6 months because price went down, I am sorry but that is not long temr holding. I have a friend who got in 100 dollars back when bitcoin was 20k, and he said he saw this as a long term deal, I warned him that 20k is not the where he should buy, it is a place where people should sell, but he didn't listened to me and bought anyway because "he was thinking retirement funding" and not short term, I said alright fine go ahead and buy in that case but dude saw bitcoin reaching 3k and sold it all off.

That is insane to think about, why would anyone buy at the all time high price and sell at one third of a price if they can't wait, not like he needed the money neither it was a funnily small amount for him, he is a very successful lawyer, he makes x20 of that amount per month. So, long term is profitable if you are really long term without selling whenever you feel like it.

[pgbit]

Stock trading is about buying and selling stocks for short term profit, with a focus on share prices. Investing is about buying stocks for long term gains.Traders jump in and out of stocks within weeks, days, even minutes, with the aim of short term profits. Long term investing, on the other hand, consists of making trades that stay open for months, and often years.These are buy and hold trades, rather than quick, buy and sell trades. So all investors make about 100 times as much as all traders. On the other hand, there are many more investors than traders, and the variance among them is greater.

[Viscore]

Holding is good for top-in-the-future coins or if you are a dumb in trading. Trading is perfect is you have some-working strategy and some experience in that. Trading allows to achieve results much, much faster than hodling. Hodling is a passive thing that won't help you get to the moon. Honestly, hodling is the best strategy for most traders/investors.

Trading is good because in holding your coin you will not be aware of it that when the price of the coin will increase as no one know about the market change but in trading you can sell your coin at high price and you will keep check on Market all the time. So better to trade or apart from trading you can put some bit coins holder for long term.

That's also advisable but it depends on the trader itself, if the trader has no skills in trading then I think he should not force it. Holding alone is a good strategy already as long as you keep yourselves updated of what is happening in the crypto space, that way, you can make a decision to sell in a good timing, but of course that should be based on your set target.

[rezwalker]

@akjuve
I believe when u start practice with low amount of daily trading u will see
is better trade than hodl
a serious example is bitcoin
anyone can manage 3-4 big trades every year
if u just keep btc u will get only 1 time profit

[imstillthebest]

Trading and holding are completely different

who says they are the same ? thats why we are here comparing them  .

because the people who trade the coin will mostly show their interest in their trading only.

how do you know ? not all are the same .  i know a trader that also does investing or hodling  . while others prefer to stick on one hobby

People who want to hold their coin will always look for higher profits instead of short term.

yes you got a point on here . traders oftenly go for short easy profits while hodlers hodl for a long time   .

its a matter of choice . if what you think youl performer better then go for it  .

[Gozie51]

Many people hodl but I think trading is more preferable.

So Maybe I am right which I think I am but still looking forward to others opinion or advice.

In my eyes you are not wrong because hodling coin don't really appreciate your assets. Trading can multiply more. Again too I derive joy when I trade. It is passion for a trader and that passion won't allow you just keep your coin to sleep there. Trading is gainful than putting the coin in wallet.

[qory]

Not easy to imagine how trading better than holding because we can't prediction with bitcoin and altcoin price because always bad moment when bitcoin going down we must hold our assets and move on from trading to holding, just way how to keep profit with trading and holding of cryptocurrency.

[Paycoinzzz]

I Feel like sharing my opinion and I would like it if anyone can convince me enough

According to what you said, you are really having trouble dealing and holding. It sounds like you lack experience in this manipulating market. deceptive CEOs will often promise investors about x10 or x100 growth in the future, etc. But it's important to know what you're investing for. After that, you will set up your plan and invest wisely to not lose all your money. I was also an investor for technology and for the team, but what I got was an account with no money left. so be alert, learn more to invest better.

[Subbir]

Yes, within the case of massive business it's better to carry, they always hold We make more profit by holding on to trade it's impossible to form a profit by trading a day but it's possible to form tons of profit by holding on. the quantity of injury here is far less and is to be kept for a specified period of your time those that are currently holding on to take a position in Bitcoin have tons of potentials to rise to the moon.

[makalve2]

Have anyone used indicator script from tradest.io?
I’m looking someone who can tell is it really that accurate.

[aofiee]

only when you choose the best time

[sandra_x]

Hodling is a good strategy if you are holding the right coins bought at a very cheap price and you have all the patience and resignation to ignore the usual fluctuations in the market. Take bitcoin for example, the price has on the average been gradually going up in the last 5 years, unless of course you bought at the peak of 2017 when the price was 20k. Eventually, even those who bought at 20k will be in profit. Trading is a game of wits, if you are not a professional and you dabble with some features like margin trading, you eventually may see you portfolio go down to zero.

[pragna]

In my opinion trading and holding both are important. Primarily everybody should do trade as we can guess the market condition but who has vast knowledge about trading? Maximum come in market to invest today and tomorrow they get profit but that is not trading actually. Before trading a trader must gather a large scale knowledge about that market polity and finally have to imply.

A men can go for holding besides trading. Actually if you hold in small amount of your gain, at the end of the day when you summarize that, it would be a large number and you also will be surprised then. This holding is backup in your bad season.

So i think trading and holding both are necessary. thanks.

[Lorence.xD]

You are not inherently wrong, it is true that you better let your funds circulate and buy when low and sell when high, unlike holding where you are waiting when the pot is so sweet that you just full on sell all you hold, holding isn't bad too, I think both of them go hand in hand together and I like to digress to the topic about holding on the same market, stock market; in these market, you are better off holding your stocks rather than selling them because you will be missing out the dividends that is given to stock holders and it depends from company to company.

Holding coins in the long term is only advisable if you have enough money. Because if not, a day trade is much better for you to
apply to earn crypto or bitcoin. This is proven and tested but you need of course a lot of knowledge about in the actual trading.
Due to without idea or knowledge, everything will be useless only, always remember those things.

[Dr.Osh]

Trading and holding are completely different because the people who trade the coin will mostly show their interest in their trading only. People who want to hold their coin will always look for higher profits instead of short term. It is completely based on the people who show interest in trading and holding.

people also trade because they are eyeing big profits. however, of these two things, I prefer to hold back than trade. besides, because I do not have good skills in trading, I also feel that the risk of trading is far greater than holding a coin. Until now, I have held ethereum since the price was under $ 150, and now it is quite profitable. however, if I trade, I am not sure I will get the same profit.

[Slow death]

people also trade because they are eyeing big profits.

true, but most people give up when they have a lot of losses

however, of these two things, I prefer to hold back than trade.

hold also has risk, and the worst of them is when the person buys for example $7000 and the price goes up to $10,000 and the person does not sell and a year later the price drops to $6500, in other words, the person held for year and it was a loss of $500, that's frustrating

Until now, I have held ethereum since the price was under $ 150, and now it is quite profitable. however, if I trade, I am not sure I will get the same profit.

well, you could have sold when the price reached $214 and you would buy again at $150  because the price will fall back to $150 or below $150

Holding coins in the long term is only advisable if you have enough money.

I agree

[Teawhalee]

Somehow it depends on what you hold. But for people investing what they can't afford to lose , they won't need to hold for long. They just trade for small profit and exit. The issue with holding is that there will be ups and downs, and sometimes the downs will be  more than the ups. This will end in loss. While a trader would have made enough profit swinging the same coin.

[chip1994]

It seems that you are the type of person who is suitable for short-term trading. I also had stupid investments and also lost a great deal of money when I expected things. But I realize I am still in the long-term investor category. I still explore and speculate on coins that have high growth rates and are still quite successful in that field. Maybe you're under pressure and obsessed with your investment history. But whatever you choose, I will support you, as long as it can benefit you in the long run.

[Joyawan13]

it is better to trade or hold it all depends on the desire of everyone to do it, some people like to hold and to be used as long-term investments because maybe they do not have enough time to trade, and there are many people who like to choose to trade day because they want every day profit from the results of their trade, so whatever the most important choice can be able to achieve profits for each of them.

[Kulkhan]

No I am not agree with it. Am practically trading from 2018 but my personal experience is holding is better. When i started trading in this platform then i was huge balance but, in the mean time i losses my capital but my some investment was for holding,  and thats holding brings profit for me.  I believe that if i hold good currency i will make profit today or tomorrow there has no confusion.                         

[bitbunnny]

I don't think that one is the better than the other. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
Trading is active way of making profit on cryptocurrencies but at the same time it's very demanding and risky. It's not for everyone and it requires skilles and experience if you want to be successful.
On the other hand, holding is passive way of making profit and it doesn't require and effort, it's not so risky but profit is also smaller, effective on long term and you have to be real patient to get the goal.
To my opinion the best is to combine both.

[Zemomtum]

I prefer holding than trading but not for a long period. If you are not a professional trader, you might end up losing most of your trades if you are scalping.

[cytpoway121]

When you relate trading to hodling, then you need to make it evenly clear, why? because everyone has their favs, and also it is best to know the the best strategy that suits you.
For some investors, buying low, holding for a while before taking profits work for them
For some investors, trading daily, taking the profits in bits before monthly accumulation works for them.

Figure out what works for you, and understand that trading is different from hodling.

[Nellayar]

I prefer holding than trading but not for a long period. If you are not a professional trader, you might end up losing most of your trades if you are scalping.

Scalping only applied for a bearish coin. Yes, you will always lose when you will use scalping because it will just prevent you from having a large loss.

In terms of holding or trading, there is no assurance between them. Whether your hold it for a while or in a long term. It just show how a certain trader becomes lazy to make his own technical analysis, why? Because you are guaranteed yourself that it will goes up when you hold it. Imagine, if you bought bitcoin when it was 19K usd and you are expecting it to break the ATH someday so you hold it. I think until now, you have no profit or your capital loses.

[lienfaye]

It seems that you are the type of person who is suitable for short-term trading. I also had stupid investments and also lost a great deal of money when I expected things.

Maybe you're under pressure and obsessed with your investment history. But whatever you choose, I will support you, as long as it can benefit you in the long run.

I tried to be a day trader as well but doesnt fit me because I dont have enough time to frequently monitor the market. Short term trading is not easy and can cause headaches if you missed the chance to sell your coins. I still prefer to hold for long period, less stress for my part and dont need to panic since I have a time frame to hold it.

[Btc_1856]

It depends upon the situation of the market and the coin we choose because there are some coins which we can hold them long term, but there are some coins which it is not a good idea to hold them. Now a days we are seeing some high reward staking coin which these coins are good for long term holdings.

[bitcoin31]

Im a holder a trader and I think it is both beneficial to us it depends only on what coins you trade and hold because if that is potential coin you gain profit but if it's a sh*t coin even you trade it or keep it you will not going to earn money because the price will not go up.

[Subbir]

You are right I think in the case of short term trade it is possible to achieve more profit in long term trade The amount of injuries is much less here We do not have to spend our days in despair If prices continue to rise, huge profits can be realized. I am willing to trade in the future You will want to understand the market better when doing short-term trading but investing in bitcoin is best when it comes to long-term trading  It is possible to make a lot of profit by buying and retaining BTC There is not much to see in the long-term trade.

[Darktongue]

I want to comment on both, trading and holding. From what time and which coin on make your research. Trade is profitable but this will take huge time from you everyday. Hold your favorite coin from beat market than holding is profitable. Overall most of the support will going for trade. To hold any coin, you should take advice from a good traders.

[Dr.Osh]

Im a holder a trader and I think it is both beneficial to us it depends only on what coins you trade and hold because if that is potential coin you gain profit but if it's a sh*t coin even you trade it or keep it you will not going to earn money because the price will not go up.

both are profitable. besides that, both are also concerned. when you trade, then you will have the choice to trade short-term, or long-term. when you make the decision to hold back long term, then you can be sure that you are investing. so far, I have made long-term investments in some altcoins.

[Ken_terrance]

Holding and trading can't go wrong, I advice you engage in both, with trading you can have more quantities of coins, I don't chase daily profits, by trading strategy is based on buying low and selling high which can take a week or more for my trade order to be successful, holding coins is good too but only recommendable for too altcoins

[KaratX]

Trading is not entirely better than holding, they both have their advantages and disadvantages, I think it's better to do both, day trading can give you profits to sustain yourself most especially those who don't have other jobs, and while holding your coins you will live comfortably but it's really not easy to know trading, there will be times where you will lose

[Rimon365]

Yes, I think trading is better then holding. You can't make a lot of money from a coin if you just hold it.  On the other hand, if you can short trade , you can earn something good from it. Whenever it's price goes up you will sell this and buy when the price goes down.

[Oshosondy]

Yes, I think trading is better then holding. You can't make a lot of money from a coin if you just hold it.  On the other hand, if you can short trade , you can earn something good from it. Whenever it's price goes up you will sell this and buy when the price goes down.

You can make money from many coins if you hold them, but it require experience and tactics. But, my best is still trading, but trading is not for everyone, out of 100% people that are trading, about 75% are losing, which makes your statement not accurate, and implying crypto trading is of high risk. There are different types of trading, there are some that are very risky, example is the day trading, the future and margin trading, they are of high risk. But there are swing trading which is not that risky like day trading. Also, many people are not ready to trade but just to hold. There are many people that are trading but losing now, so saying trading is better than holding is not 100% accurate, 

[MWesterweele]

Each and everyone here has our own techniques and strategies on how we can generate our money or crypto coins. Maybe some of us will confident to trade than to hodl. Maybe some us can generate money in hodling than in trading. But in my case, i am doing both. I am trading while i am hodling. I am trading when i observed that the market was worth it to trade for and i am hodling those token that well valued enough that whenever i needed those token it still has the worth that can provide my needs.

[djmixen]

They are both good actually, but in terms of getting profit, doing trade in the market is much better than holding.
This was already proven and tested to me as well. Because Holding is only good if you are sure about the coin you like to buy em
You're willing to hold em for a year of waiting in the future.

[Rengga Jati]

I personally cannot determine if trading is better than investing. Because it will depend on what you are. Everybody has their own choice to be a trader or investor. What makes it good is that whatever their choice, they need to focus, learn the strategy, and also make the right strategy and at the right moment. We may not need to compare our strategy to others because it may depend on our own system,. moreover, if we lost, we do not need to panic, just calm down and try to rearrange the strategy. but, if you really want to invest, ensure that you provide the best coins for a long-term hold. Not only a year but probably more than 2 years later.

[Ayiranorea]

Yes, I think trading is better then holding. You can't make a lot of money from a coin if you just hold it.  On the other hand, if you can short trade , you can earn something good from it. Whenever it's price goes up you will sell this and buy when the price goes down.

Yes, different users follow different strategies and techniques to make profit. Trading needs regular observation of the market, and holding requires patience as it is long term profit focused. Focusing on both is good and it is a possible thing. People believe it is hard to trade when we're just holding. It is advisable to trade and multiply the volume of holding than just holding which means allowing the assets to be idle.

[proTECH77]

Is not working for you does not mean is not working for others. Holding some coins long work faster when the market change in a good position. But I don't like holdingcoins long since this pandemic because the market is well okay to every trader who understands the pandemic.
Trading in the right place is better than trading your coins in a wrong place where you will find it difficult to make a good profit from your trade. I guess trading is more better than holding coin in this season we are .

[Nalien]

There is no doubt that trading is better than holding but you should know the market and some skills also required to read charts. There are many people who started with very low budget and now they have to lots of money just by trading altcoins.

You believed by holding them it would moon same way you'd believe in some coin you're trading in. No matter your method, there are going to be involved if proper analysis isn't done. Holder have made gains same as traders too. You just have to master what works out for you.

[shawonngp]

I think this type is the best but we all have our own decisions and choices. And let us do it right. We all have different experiences when it comes to trading and holding. Some prefer to be a huddler while others find trading more profitable. So it depends on how we deal with it because it can be profitable both depending on our strategy and planning.
If you have the time, knowledge, and mental strength then all is well. Also, I think huddling for the long haul is just as profitable and understandable. If you have a lot of money to buy crypto then you can hold. And if you have less, learning and trading will be the best option. Although this is my own opinion.

[wheelz1200]

I Feel like sharing my opinion and I would like it if anyone can convince me enough

So, let me say I've been trading or started trading for a while now but I still count my self as an Armature Trader so far. Why?
Because I've never made a good profit so far and whenever I make one, I end up at loss later.
But with all these, I still believe in trading than holding my crypto assets because I know with time, when I get to understand how it works and go very well, I can keep making my profit and will never loss more than expectation.

Reason why I said all these is because I hold some crypto assets a while ago because I believe in them and thinking they are going to be like top 100 in the market within years. But I was wrong.
I wish I have been trading since then and probably, I would have gain more or earn more because I hardly loss even as armature as I am.
Many people hodl but I think trading is more preferable.

So Maybe I am right which I think I am but still looking forward to others opinion or advice.

The answer is really simple: if you don't know the market makers for each coin you are the fish they are waiting for to trade the coin.  Inevitably over the long run you will lose for sure.  You will never know the tops or the lows because technical analysis doesn't account for market makers.  You can think otherwise but you are wrong.

Live by this rule: if you cant spot the fish at the table, you are the fish.

With every hope of making profit, comes with a significant amount of risk. What makes one have an edge of the other is time. Hoarding is an economic term which simply implies, accumulating a particular thing for a period of time with the aim of releasing it for sale when it becomes more and more valuable. This is the idea that the early Bitcoin/crypto enthusiast adopted and it worked for them and we hope it works now as well.

What we ought to know is that, there isn't going to be any other like Bitcoin and as such, the value to which any coin can get would only be a major of the already existing ones in a less quantity. The more you wait, the more it either depreciates more or appreciates very little in a very large time frame. This is what makes hoarding today a bad business in contrast to trading. Trading though risky and dependent on experience, your sure to acquire your aims in the shortest time possible supposing you have the know how as per experience. It's just accurate analysis and risk management.

[proTECH77]

I agree with you.
Trading it right now is better than holding it when you don't know if the market will be more better than this. Most professional trader just believe holding your coins is a sign of failure. Facing the challenge of the market right now is better than avoiding the market which you don't know when the market will suit to your taste. Many people miss their opportunity because they were still holding their coin for a long time hope the market will change for their good.

[Dsdaq]

Trading is better than holding, because holding is too risky due to high volatility of crypto currencies for example bitcoin from 12k can drop over night to 9k that's a huge loss.

[Awraawra]

I also like trade than holding because i have small capital so i need to trade so that i have income in short-term. Holding is also good but i think holding is for those have big amount of capital that they can hold it for long-term.
Trading is much better than holding.

[sarmrakib]

Trading is better than holding, because holding is too risky due to high volatility of crypto currencies for example bitcoin from 12k can drop over night to 9k that's a huge loss.

Yes you have said my thought .Crypto is high volatile market so it is so risky to hold .On the other hand sometimes we can get a high profit by holding .It is better to trade cause you always can get some profit but you have to be experienced on trading in order to get profit from trading .

[Musekay]

Holding takes a lot of nerves cause you might hold for a long time hoping it will rise in value, only for it to crumble. So people however prefer holding as its value overtime is really worth the wait lets take bitcoin for an example. While on the other hand, most people prefer trading.

Trading is better than holding. If you hold hold your money you cannot  sell it emergency  because of loss.On the other hand, Trading  is the best way to earn money and increase asset.Anyone can hold money anytime but traders must be learn and expert on trading

[FACE 2 FACE]

In fact, professional traders are able to make quite a lot of money in a short time. This is how they differ from investors. A professional investor is someone who is able to hold his breath for a very long time to wait for his finest hour. For a trader, this is not at all typical. A trader is a person who has a sufficient amount of adventurism and is inclined to take risks. Investors are made of completely different dough than traders. To be an investor means to be a mature, reasonable and patient person. This is the difference between traders and investors.

[ololajulo]

Trading will depend on the size of investment and coin of investment. A 5 million dollar investors may or cant be an active trade, 3-5x is a good ROI for such and I believe staying on Ethereum and Bitcoin can provide this as a longterm investor (3-5 years). Most project cant handle a real daily trade of over $5million. Most of these investors will give the average cost of sale to traders and time to cover the trade to prevent massive dump in price

[kamadazje]

Both of them are profitable as long as you know what you are doing but if you are going to ask if who is better among them then trading is better than holding of course. But you need to put also in your mind that it will only better if you have a good knowledge in trading because you can also lost a lot of money here if you have no enough knowledge to profit in trading.

You have a positive mindset which is good but here are my few advice to you. I can see that you don't have the knowledge yet in order to profit in  trading so it will be good if you will trade a small amount first then make sure that you will learn from any experience that you get from it and also make sure that you are doing some additional research about trading also so you can be a professional trader in no time.

[Tingtong]

Trading is good for make some money day by day. But it is risky way cause any time coin price can be decrease. If you hold good alt coin for long time you can make huge profit. Trading make short time profit so i tell trading is better then holding.

[gwdf1]

Trading brings more profits when you do not make mistakes, and it never lets you relaxing. Those, who trade should stay active all the time, and naturally, they have to follow the market news. Traders better know the market trends and they are more flexible.

This is only true for those experienced traders, but for new ones, they need to be very careful as they can lose their funds very easy. If you already know your strategies in day trading, you can really get good profits as compared to when you are just holding a specific coin for so long. You should know also the right coin to trade with, actually even bitcoin, you can get decent profits with intermittent trading, but you need to consider the fees involved so you are not in negative.

it is not easy to know the movement of a coin but it can all be obtained if we follow reliable trading signals...
a professional trader has good analysis and instinct so they can make a profit in day trading. for a newbie, of course it is very dangerous to trade only based on feelings, they have to start slowly to be able to make a profit.

[Zemomtum]

All depends on the objective, for a long time, holding is better but for a short time profit, trading will be an ideal.

[Savemore]

What matters right now is if we are gaining through our strategies? It is not about what is better between trading or holding, it is about what is suitable in our characteristics as a trader between trading or holding. There are some people who are gaining a lot of profit in trading and there are also some people who are gaining huge amount of profit in investing or in holding. I think we should focus on what is our niche, for example; our characteristics is considered as scalper trader who are frequently buying and selling cryptocurrencies then we should focus in trading and not in holding. In terms of holding, if you have high patience where you can wait a lot of time then do it and do not force yourself to trade because there is a huge possibility that you will just lose it by forcing action that shouldn't be.

[Trinx01]

We have a different perspective about holding and trading, for me, I prefer more the holding when it comes to the long term especially the bitcoin, I can see a great profit from it than trading, I have tried trading before and I never tried it again because it is hard for me to earn from that. Four months ago when I tried trading on Expert Option, I feel so entertained with the platform because I find it so easy and user friendly, at first I keep on winning and it gives me so much joy but this is not consistent because after a winning streak I got lose streak as well to the point that I even lost my capital.

I know the feeling that when we won we still want to continue because of thinking that we may win again and earn more money but we still end up losing our money, it is hard to imagine that the money turns down to rock just like what other people say. In this case, quitting while we are ahead is very important, we should know when to quit and when to continue playing. If you already win then be contented with what you have now, take a rest, go home, and then try again tomorrow.
Many people keep on losing because of chasing winning more so avoid it

[Clark05]

People can earn both doining holding and trading they have similarities actually if you a trade coin you need to hold it so it just like holding and once it rise you trade it to the bitcoin or to fiat. It's not a problem on what you will choose between the two the problem is what coin your trade and to hold and how long you keep it and if crypto coins have chances to up the value.

[KnightElite]

Trading though risky and dependent on experience, your sure to acquire your aims in the shortest time possible supposing you have the know how as per experience. It's just accurate analysis and risk management.

We can do both trading or holding but what matters is we should have an edge in any of the two. The edge that I am talking about is the mastery for us to fully utilize it. I'm a holder before but I became a trader because for me time is gold, I can't wait many years just for me to see my investment to become double. That is why I made my own research and started to become a trader especially when I saw a lot of people who can double their portfolio in just months. Holding and trading have big differences and there are certain skills that are required if we will do both or choose any of them.

[Mahdirakib]

~snip~ It's not a problem on what you will choose between the two the problem is what coin your trade and to hold and how long you keep it and if crypto coins have chances to up the value.

Coin selection is the main fact here. As OP said he have invested on those coin which were not in the top 100 list at marketcap, and finally those coin price haven't went up as he expected.

Without knowing the crypto market well, no one should invest in new coin for long term hold. Better to invest in top coins of marketcap. Bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin is a good option for this. And if you want to be a good trader then do proper analysis of crypto market. And learn from your mistakes.

[Teresa_FX1]

I prefer trading vs. holding since I feel more control of my assets but I like trading the main cryptos like btc, eth, xrp than some altcoins. I get more profit with trading.
 Holding is more for institutional investors or people who don't know how to trade.

[romero121]

Holding is for users who doesn't wanna take risk, and doesn't bother of making an regular earning out of cryptocurrencies. Trading is for users who have the ability to observe the market and spend time in front of the PC. There are people who have profited out of holding, as well as lost after holding for a long time.

While holding, the assets will be sitting in a wallet. The same when used into trading, based on the users precise prediction about the market used to earn revenue. Whether it is holding or trading, it is good when you do with better understanding about the market.

[Pamadar]

Trading is good for make some money day by day. But it is risky way cause any time coin price can be decrease. If you hold good alt coin for long time you can make huge profit. Trading make short time profit so i tell trading is better then holding.

That's always depends, and you are right with short term benefits trading can bring decent money if you choose the right coin.

People who are involve to this business keeps on trying which strategy will give them better profits, some may choose to hold long term to maximized the profits while others choose to play day trade to keep taking profits.
The only thing here is the level of risk, day trade due to volatilities have a much higher chances of losing your investment, unlike long term holding where if you done with your research and you really pay attentions with the progress of your chosen investment the chance of losing is much lesser while the chance of being compensated is far better.

If one is able to make profits from trading, then better as you can make daily earning and those who do not now art of trading or generally ends up losing money so for them investing is only preferred. Also, for traders, some capital should be allocated for long term investing in some top coins just to leverage the quick rise in bitcoin which we see it to make maximum profits.

[santiPOGI]

Literally yes, trading is better than Holding. Because for me holding is only good if you buy a huge amount of coin especially if it is one of the potential top altcoins in the market. While in trading or day trading it is really good to make profit compared to holding in a short period of time of course, but this is only my own opinion based on my experienced here in crypto space.

[Dorodha]

Both trading and holding are good but it will depend on efficiency the more knowledge and experience it has the more profitable it is. it is better to hold it in a noteworthy way if you hold on trading if the price goes up later you can double the profit and it becomes easier to trade. In this case it is easy to determine the price of the currencies and the trading strategies are known. The risk is much lower if you hold on but you have to wait until the price goes up.

[Mpamaegbu]

Trading it right now is better than holding it when you don't know if the market will be more better than this.

You never can say of a certitude that your position is the ultimate thinking because a lot of people will disagree with you on this. In holding you don't lose anything. The tokens remain the same quantity they were even though value may change; either higher or lower. But in trading, one stands in a position to lose one's coins/tokens if one's trading call turns sour. For me, I believe Hodling is playing it safer than Trading.

Most professional trader just believe holding your coins is a sign of failure.

Anyone who thinks this way is merely assuming. And that isn't right. It's fallacious because assumption is the highest level of not knowing. I see Hodling like keeping one's account in a bank in a fixed deposit. Is that a sign of failure too? I don't think so.

[DeadCoin]

Actually, if your money is enough for you and there's no need to make it faster to the maximum just select holding for safety in your own ability suchlike your insurance is still waiting for the level up but in everyday life usually, you couldn't really sleep well because the stable coin is unpredictable from where can move up and down.so, because of this matter .for me right now trading is better than holding.

[ReLieD]

I took a long break from this forum and good to see that people actually type Hold instead of Hodl. Jokes aside.... Having more than 3 years experience i can agree to the fact that trading is much better as u know the price will keep fluctuating and u can use that to the very advantage for trading.
For eg. Say the price of 1 BTC is 10k and u carry out a deal where u get 2BTC for ur thing. Now if u see the prices falling then its better to actually trade your btc for something and u might also get a good deal if u bargain well because the falling prices will be a benefit for u. This way u get more amount of BTC which in turn will give u more Currency.

[Lycan70]

Trading is good actually if you want to grow your holdings. I mean holding .5 or 1 btc for me is not fruitful. Unless you hold a bunch of bitcoins, holding is the answer. And not many holders have thousands or even hundreds of bitcoin.

[bitzizzix]

It depends on personal situations and activities, and I prefer to hold back because there are other activities I have to do so I don't have time to trade which have to control the market all the time and have to be good at trading.
and besides that I have a steady income from a real job that can meet my needs so I choose to hold indefinitely and just wait for the price to go up high to sell it back and besides that to avoid worries when the price drops, and trade for those who need profit or income fast in the short term to meet a need or other reason.

[~Money~]

I prefer trading vs. holding since I feel more control of my assets but I like trading the main cryptos like btc, eth, xrp than some altcoins. I get more profit with trading.
 Holding is more for institutional investors or people who don't know how to trade.

Institution investor believes in Holding when they see potential in that asset or Company(project) in long run. Otherwise, Institution investors are the main operators in the trading world. Institution investors can take the price of an asset to the moon and can also throw it on the floor by dumping them from top.  
For a retail trader like us, we should always follow the trend and stay with it. As soon as the trend shows sigh of reversal, we should exit immediately. Always play with stop-loss and favourable risk-reward ratio to remain in the trading market for the long term. Holding, on the other hand, requires a lot of research-based knowledge to understand the working of a company and its impact on their profit and brand value in long term. Still, I feel, HOLDING also require a full proof exit strategy to take profit at right time otherwise there is no sense in holding.

[hridoyb]

Trading or holding its totally depends on your mind.If you are afraid to risk and long time holder and increase your asset, I think holding is the best for you. If you control emotion and want to make a profit so fast and have an idea about the trade you start to trade now. You get profit sure from invest money but not an emergency you need to hold a long time or trade is the only way to make a profit every day.

[Boov]

Indeed a big fact that we should always keep in mind if we where going to be torn between trading and holding just take a look and think for a minute of what kind of crypto does i have now. Bitcoin and Ethereum were probably the two favourite coin here. This is what a kind of cryptocurrency that was worth it to keep and good for long term investment. This is what you can trust on that even you kept it has a huge possibility that you will harvest a good grain here.

Many potential coin have higher price after holding several months later and many investor get much profit from holding coin, but not all investor could control their emotion when seeing coin have raise higher price and try to sell soon. Just few investor looking ahead how potential coin holding and give more profitable later if hold, we can see at many coin after hold several months later give more than 500% profit depend with first coin price do you buy. How ever have coin drop lower price with long time holding and decision how do you buy and choose good coin for long term investment. If you have much money you hold coin for long term as your future investment but we are small trader have looking for profit every day with trading than holding.

[Gibreil]

Yes, if we just see and experience the current market condition. I swear, you will just pick to trade than to hold. Unless you have bunch of pennies and you are preparing to buy at this moment. Altcoin is being murdered in market. Most of them declined almost 80 percent since August. I have invested in bitcoin and altcoins but my portfolio is still in negative because my altcoins are in blood bath.

It is proven that the quicker the person wants to make money, he is closer to lose money.

Both are ways of making money.

Your choice depends to your strategy. IMO, holding has lower risk for good coins.

[proTECH77]

I prefer holding coin to watch if the market is okay for me to supply to make a good income. Holding make you to understand the market place whic many people don't understand before trading their coins in the market. Trading will not make you do some research concerning the particular coins you are trading in the market.
When you hold it, give you chance to view or monitor the price of the market very well. Since I came to understand how to hold coin and make a good profit from the coin make me a good trader. Many still think trading on the time make someone to make a good income. It is good to learn how to hold for some time before release them to market to confirm the reward.

[ttcsalam]

I think holding means stupidity.I recently held a coin.And ‍A few days later I saw that the price became $ 4.I was holding on without selling.After 3 months I see that coin only .32 dollars means full capital loss.For that I think holding is nothing but stupidity.So buying and selling is good.

[pilosopotasyo]

I made profit from hodling and so are the thousands of those who made a lot from hodling their coins, in fact this is most safer than trading because here is a risk in trading, in hodling you just research for the coin with good potential in the market and have the patient not to trade until you made a profit, let the developer make a move to create the platform and complete the roadmap, and let things takes its course.

[XCANA]

Trading is good actually if you want to grow your holdings. I mean holding .5 or 1 btc for me is not fruitful. Unless you hold a bunch of bitcoins, holding is the answer. And not many holders have thousands or even hundreds of bitcoin.

You are right on this, holding much of stash in Bitcoin will be more profitable than just holding some petty stash in Bitcoin. Although 1Bitcoin = 1Bitcoin but without a good stash of this coin your holding is mere like a waste compare to when you're able to trade some few stash to make few stash addition to the holding. Sometimes, those without the knowledge of trade shouldn't get into it becasue it can ruin their holdings, despite their minimal stash hold your coins and don't get into trade to incur loss.

Don't get me wrong. I ain't saying that one can't make money hodling. What I said was that those who hodl only play safe and don't make as much profit or loss as those who trade. Let me give you an instance. I held 1,000 unit of a certain token for two years but didn't trade it for once. Then, in May of this year that token rose from $0.02 to $2.4. No doubt that one stood the chance of making profit. But it's very clear that the profit one would make was subject to the 1,000 units if one sold at ATH. Now, the story would've been different if I had traded that same 1,000 within the two - year period. I could've traded it to 5,000 units or more; or even lost below my initial stock. Surely, profit from 5,000 units is better than that from 1,000. But there isn't any risk keeping the 1,000 intact unlike making 5,000. That's just my point.

[Xinarae*]

Trading is possible to make a profit by investing in good currency without a stash. In case of holding we have to wait a long time this requires patience there are many traders who do not want to wait long in case they do not choose to trade. But I think holding is better than trading. Even if you wait a long time, if you increase the price through bitcoin investment you can get double profit. Even if you don't have much knowledge of business trading will be profitable to keep holding.

Holding gives profit and risk free, because we just hold on a trusted wallet and profit when the market pumps high. Finding the right cryptocurrency is really a hard task, and even with holding there is certain difficulty. When you're in need you cannot cash it out, because by that time the market might be low. When you're holding, it is good to keep it secure without any deadline.
