Trading is better than Holding

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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  .

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.
