Trading is better than Holding

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
