Trading is better than Holding

[BlackFor3st]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

@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.
