Is Buy and Hold Really the Best Strategy in Crypto?

[Salauddin1994]

To avoid risk in every job, you have to work carefully the crypto market is not stable and the number of scammers is much higher here. Crypto market risks are higher than other sites in order to trade in crypto one has to study the exchange sites and be careful as well as know the basic knowledge. It is not possible to learn trading techniques without adequate knowledge.

The power of trading comes from compound interest, even if you were only able to earn roughly 10% per month if you can do this regularly then at the end of a few years you will multiply your coins many times over and that is where trading shows its power over holding your coins.

During that time frame a person that just holds his coins could earn fiat but the number of coins that he's holding will remain flat and will not increase but with trading you have the option of the number of coins that you are holding to grow significantly during that same amount of time which will obviously multiply your profits in fiat as well but as we know trading is very hard and only a few can earn money with the activity which makes holding such a good option for the rest of the investors in this market.

Every strategy will depend on the person, There are people who aren't good at trading so the most efficient choice is just to hold their tokens and wait for the token value to rise. On the other hand, If a certain person has the skills that can accumulate profit in trading the person would certainly do trading for him to earn much more profit. Trading can give you more profit because you are working for it, Doing some analyzation while holding is just letting your token sit on your wallet and you are just checking the asset price regularly. If we are talking about the time I think the person who daily trades will get profit more than the holder because the profit of it is just pilling up and using it to deliver more profit in the trader's portfolio.

Both trading and holding are profitable if you do it right it's just trading is where you can earn more but put a lot of work on it and holding is earning less but gaining profit slow and small.

This is what I think as well, people always wonder what it is the best option between trading and investing not realizing the best strategy is something completely dependent on the person, skills and personality, investing is easier, most of your work will be done at the beginning stages when you are deciding if it is a good idea to invest in a project and once you do the only thing you need to do is to hold your coins.

In contrast trading requires a massive amount of knowledge to be applied at all times with surgical precision, it is way more demanding but it can be entertaining as well if you like the action of the markets, however this also means it is harder but it can bring even greater profits.

It does really have that pros and cons between the two and as said this will surely vary on someones capacity and knowledge and at least we do have options to take.If we cant just handle out market volatility
or doesnt like to engage with moving prices then holding would be your best option but as expected, profits would really be lesser compared to those people who do engage with daily trading.
It sounds easy but really hard to be done thats why majority do choses up to hold instead but sooner or later they might be switching up depending if they do already gain that sufficient knowledge needed.
Holding is one of the strategies though but it does really have some several cons or disadvantages.

Buying and hold is not the main basis for us to say that we could earn well in the future.
Always, remember that before buying coins in any of the exchange sites platforms, make sure to yourself
that you know the coins you are choosing it so that in the end you won't regret it.

[Saisher]

It's not the best strategy but it works for investors, not every holders or investors have the time to follow the price or allocate time in day trading, but once they got the coins they have the option to HODL it long time or shift to day trading if they decided that they want to do day trading, as long as the market is promising the options are open.

we have a lot of crypto currency in the market already those buy and hold strategy will not really work right now. You can still do that but only in top crypto currency not all crypto is good to buy and more of them will turn to be scam so you should be very careful choosing what crypto currency to hold.

My suggestion is better to do the day trading than holding. there are many videos tutorial that you can watch and read  to learn in technical  analysis.

[Casdinyard]

Some people say that Buy and Hold is the best strategy and can't be beaten. They hear phrases like “95% of traders lose money” and automatically assume that all trading is bad and markets can not be outperformed.

Lol Buy and Hold strategies are only used by Long-Term traders whom doesn't bother themselves in reading the candles and charts of a a certain stock/currency/crypto. Yes, daily traders loses their money because of a failed prediction and reading, but trust me, it is normal. Every trader knows that there are always risk of losing, even trading is just a mere gambling where you test your intellect and luck which most of the time is just losing. And it is a part, a risk management, and not a huge deal to traders.

Therefore, Buy and Hold often effective if and only  if an investor trusts a starting or innovating project/company, which somehow is also a 50:50 chance whether such holdings would rise as expected or would be dumped.

[Calvinpiva]

Yes, buy and hold is AMONG the best trading strategies because you'll exactly how much in % you are going to earn if bullish starts. I said buying and hold is among the best because it's still risky than other trading methods. There is peer to peer which has 10% compared to buy and hold when you chose the wrong coin to hold. Also, arbitrage has less risk if you will find the right exchange to trade.

[Bitlover10]

It's also depend on the project that what are you holding it and what price. For long term holding I can't trust shit coin. Top 10 or top 50 crypto could be hold for long term but before going for long term you have to have wait for dip. For me usually when market is in dump condition you can take entry and and sold at high. Sometimes holding one months give you a good return and turn your capital 2x. So in this condition you can booked your profit and find other opportunity.

[coin-investor]

Not really the best strategy, but if you have a strong belief in the coin that you are holding and you do not have time to check the market it will work for you, but you are going to miss profits from the market volatility, there's always profit to make in a highly volatile market but it takes time, effort and patience to do that, 

[Dorodha]

Only Buy and Hold is not main Strategy in Crypto i think involved a lot of think market analysis, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, fund management thinking and also need to be follow the current market situation and follow the current trend, crypto is easy for few moment but analysis is hard find out to accurate result.

[Krabby]

In fact, hold and trade are two different schools and it depends on the personality of the person. like me, I tried trading for 8 months and only failed continuously and I burned about 5 accounts. After that I got discouraged and switched to being a holder and now I've got my money back that I was losing money, and I'm not under the pressure and do more. When trading, we will be very pressured and it seems our mind is only focused on trading all day, it does not suit me. In general, the holder or trader is good, but the player must understand who he is in order to come up with the best strategies.

Different cryptocurrency that you had chosen to trade means you might have different strategy to use. It's good to hodl cryptocurrencies that has a great future ahead, an asset where you think lots of people will adopt. On the otherside, it's not good to buy and hodl coins that doesn't have any purpose.

Yes, here is the point about potential coin. There are a lot of coins in crypto market and all are not potential. Some coins will be dead and it is really foolish strategy to hold dead coin for future.

[pokeronlinestatus]

It’s not like it’s the best strategy, but it is more recommendable to those who are still new to trading cryptocurrency, since day-trading is difficult for a starter to understand. So, for a starter? Hodl is definitely the best strategy for them to go with, they would just invest their money and they wouldn’t have stress about doing any other thing, all they will have to do is just have patience and that’s it.

If you’re going to tell people to go for day-trading when they have no clue as to how they are going to do technical analysis and all those works to predict what action to take, it’s not going to work out for them and they will keep on losing, and from my experience, those of them that tries trade without understanding are just gambling with choices.

[lixer]

I think HODL is position trading, you’re holding a position for a long time to make profit and then you sell your position. They are all trading, but in different types. When they say 95% of traders, they don’t only mean day traders, they are referring to every trader, even those who Hodl can lose money.

Take a look back at the 2017 bull run, there were people who got profit from HODL’ing their BTC or any other coin that increased in price, and there are also those who lost their money as the market started to plummet. That’s just how it is, they are all different types of trading and anyone can lose, while some are making profit.

[pixie85]

There are different groups of people here and each will paint you a different image.

Successful traders will tell you that they did all of it because of their skill and if you think holding is better than trading you're just bad at trading. Tone Vays likes to say similar things.
Unsuccessful traders will tell you trading sucks and you cannot predict moves well enough to come on top. Market is manipulated so you can win or lose even if you are great at TA.
Successful holders will tell you to hold because they made so much money holding that trading is unnecessary risk.

It's your choice what you decide to do.

For users who have good earning to meet their daily needs, and looking for a long term investment or a pension fund can prefer buying and holding. For common users who look for an earning out of cryptocurrencies to make living better should prioritise earning through it. It can be of trading, selling services and skills, and on different possible ways.

I suggest to go for regular trading at some time interval. Along with it try to spend specific amount regularly on buying different cryptocurrencies. This is far better than just buying and holding long.

Exactly, buy and hold can be good enough for two kind of people, those that are new to the market and have yet to get used to the volatility of this market and that are still in a process to learn how to deal with it, the other is the investor that has a significant amount of money to invest and does not have the time to look at the charts every single day, which is ironic because this strategy can be the best for the most inexperienced and the most experienced at the same time.

But once you learn more about this market and how it moves you have the chance to try to trade the markets and make money with them however this requires really advanced knowledge and it is not recommend for those that do not have control over their emotions or do not have money management skills.

This is what others thinking if buying and holding is the best strategy in crypto. When you invest in crypto of buying and hold it can reduce risks rather than day to day trading. We have our own strategy on how to earn when trading crypto. In my own opinion, the best strategy you can do is buying on a low price and selling on a pump stage. Though for holding long term it can reduce transactions cost which is also a good option.
