Trading is better than Holding

[Hypnosis00]

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

     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.

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

[South Park]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
