Hodling vs trading

[YUriy1991]

Hodling vs trading is indeed a menu that traders must choose. If we see the market volatility conditions are wavy, it is quite difficult to calculate this, however, if there is a sufficient opportunity to increase profits, especially if seen as long as the price difference is large enough to generate profits, the most dominant trading pattern will be used. When talking about Shitcoins, it's better not to approach it too much because there are many things that influence the trading of these and other tokens on their prices.

Currently I am focusing more on holding than trading, although I am also not abandoning trading activities for my future. I think holding is easier than trading where the risk will be greater. what we need to know is that trading is not a quick way to make money, if we make the mistake of not having the knowledge and experience, what will happen is that our capital could run out, Therefore, slowly learn trading until you can master the science of trading

I personally choose to be a Hodler for Bitcoin. Because once I tried to trade the Bitcoins that I had and it made me feel tired. Because the profits from trading Bitcoin are not too big because the price fluctuations are not too high. This is different from altcoins where the fluctuations are higher. So trading in Altcoins is more profitable but the risks are also much higher.

So I finally decided to stop my trading in bitcoin and just focus on accumulating it for the long term. And I'm also not yet proficient in crypto trading. So I'm worried that my bitcoin holdings will actually decrease due to losses if I'm not yet skilled at trading. So I focused more on being a Hodler this time.

[Out of mind]

Trading requires special knowledge about the market, it is not possible to make a profit if you are not able to analyze the market. That's why you have to know about the market first, and then you have to trade, although it is possible to make a lot of profit in trading, but without experience, it is not possible to make a profit. Also, many times it is seen that most of the risks are hidden in trading, so I think trading is not profitable for everyone. But if a successful person trades then surely he is well experienced and wise to make profit. Moreover, holding is less risky than trading, so holding would be a better move. I think when a person can't get a good experience with the market he should definitely hold because it has less risk. And if you invest and hold, surely you can expect good profit in the future, in that case I think holding is better. When training in the market, there is often a fear of losing most of the money, but in the case of holding, this fear is much less and his kind of fear is less.

It is probably always better for the long term to not trade and hold your bitcoin. The reason is that Bitcoin is in the bullmarket mostly volatile to the upside, so there is a big chance to get left behind and have to buy in with a higher price.

Hodling and trading has always been a debate in the Bitcoin crypto space.Are they different? Of course yes.Hodling is a term used to describe owning Bitcoin in a wallet especially for a long period of time.While trading on the other hand refers to the selling and buying of Bitcoin through an exchange.

It would be very strange if these two concepts were debated. Both Hold and Trade have their own purposes, the only difference is the time period and purpose of use. Trading this term clearly describes activity at various times, most likely daily, whereas for Hold Bitcoin we will not bother discussing any type of statistics at any time. As investors, they determine their investment targets, either every month or every week, even every day if their finances are truly stable and they have a good investment method such as DCA.

Personally, I choose to Hold, because as I said, I don't want to spend time monitoring price movements and the fud that is out there. Traders also more often or prefer to trade assets other than Bitcoin and if they make a profit they will return to accumulating Bitcoin.

Basically, holding and trading have clear differences in nature. Holding is an asset that you store in a wallet or safe place that you own for a certain period of time. Meanwhile, trading is a buying and selling transaction that you carry out within a short period of time.
However, the nature of holding is holding for a certain period of time, while the nature of trading is buying and selling. Holding can change its nature to trading when you have bought and sold. Even though there are many similarities, this is a matter of the nature of the words they have and also how you treat your assets.

When talking about Shitcoins, it's better not to approach it too much because there are many things that influence the trading of these and other tokens on their prices.

The reason why you shouldn't choose between trading and holding is when you move towards either one. Then you must be at a loss. No matter what the market is like if you keep trading and holding then you will never lose or lose. If you are not experienced in trading then it is not possible for you to earn much profit. But if you buy a coin and hold it for a long time then you can earn a good amount because holding is completely without experience. If you want to trade then you have to base on the market. And so the risk in trading is very high.So I prefer trading and holding.

I cant go through the stress and risk of trading my bitcoin in whatever manner and as long as trading profits is almost same with gambling winnig which depends on luck alot of time, that make trading to become too risky for bitcoin amd other crypto coun investors, most especially the newbies who may not really know the basic and professional techniques that lead to making right trading decisions.

So to avoid such potential risk, you as an investor should only hold in your wallet and have your private keys properly saved in a secured location out of the reach of any third-party access.

I also agree more with what you said, because currently I don't really understand any trading knowledge in the crypto space so I also prefer holding cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin by continuing to buy them with the money I set aside every month. So for the time being I will continue to do this as long as I still have the ability without experiencing excessive difficulties due to the holding that I do, and on the one hand I am also starting to find a little information from people around me that buying Bitcoin at this time is A very good decision so that I continue to be enthusiastic about running the holding while learning about trading, which I have not mastered at all at this time.

Trading and Holding both have risks. However, compared to trading, holding for me is very simple and I don't need to do analysis every day. I only carry out technical and fundamental analysis when I want to make purchases and sales, and even then I execute limit orders without buying and selling immediately. As long as I hold Bitcoin, pressure and stress are also under control. It's different when trading, emotions, pressure and stress always peak and have an impact on trading.

With all these being  said it is important to note that hodling shitcoin is not advisable due to their exponentially high volatility which may lead to severe loss if not properly managed.
Trading and hodling is always a choice as they indirectly serve as balance to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Some might be got into that situation but have learned already and besides, nobody will be able to hold for nothing.
Some people will choose to hold crypto rather than get into trading because they know themselves that they are not fit to trade. Of course, there is no reason to do that either if we know that we just lose while holding gives us of what we aim for. Well, holding is the best option I see...less risk, less possible chances of losing but most of all, we have a big chance to earn more.

Holding have low risk of losing money quickly while in trading with leverage we can lose all of our money in a short period of time, Both do not guarantee profit.
holding requires low effort and low knowledge about market while trading is more complex and requires more discipline and emotional control. What if we typed wrong order amount in trading once?
we can empty our account with just one click.

If you are a day trader, does it really matter whether the price is high or low? I think the important thing in trading is to analyze and make predictions to make profits, so whether the price increases or decreases more will not affect your profits. Only holders will really miss the opportunity if they think that short-term trading will be able to make a profit or increase the number of bitcoins. Not everyone is a bitcoin holder and not everyone is a day trader.

Like you, I find holding easier and risk free. But no one sees the biggest difference between holding and trading.
I know there are 2 types of trading and there you lose some money but you can get back some of your capital.
But if you buy a scam token and hold it, then wakes up in the morning and finds that the token is a scam and loss your money. Then you will have to lose your entire capital, which you will not be able to get back even in your lifetime.So it is important to research that token very well in case of your long holding.

Both Hodling and trading have some similarities such as ;

1. The use of wallets to store Bitcoin.
2. For both trading or hodling to be possible you must own Bitcoin. Although trading requires a minimum amount of coins, hodling does not.
3. Both require you to understand how to secure your coins to avoid hacks or loss of funds.

That's not exactly right. When people are hodling, they can easily use non-custodial wallets because they don't need to move their coins much anyway, but when they are trading, a centralized crypto exchange might be much more convenient for fast and regular buy/sell orders/ As for the minimum amount, I think many exchanges have very small deposit/withdrawal limits and something below that wouldn't make much sense with hodling either due to transaction fees.
But securing the funds is truly important in both cases. I'd also say that there's a risk of financial losses in both cases as well, if we're talking about the similarities.

and for somebody that is not well groomed or that doesn't really have a good experience in trading, he/she will find difficulty in navigating through the crypto market, especially for a beginner.

Yes, that's why we always advocate Newbies not to trade due to the fact that they have little or no knowledge about how Bitcoin works, and as such prevent them from further losing their funds.

there are good number of people that will tell you, they prefer trading than Holding. Both of them have their advantages depending on which Side of the divide you find yourself.

It all depends on an individual and his/her level information and exposure to Bitcoin, because just as trading requires a complex understanding of the asset, it's pattern of price movement and self discipline, hodling on the other hand requires just a basic ability just to buy, hodl coin in a safe and reliable avenue.

[Wend]

Like you, I find holding easier and risk free.

Holding is considered easier than trading but is not without risk. We all cannot know what will happen in the future so it is difficult to predict anything. For example, the future of bitcoin is still a question mark, what if we hold for the long term and one day the bitcoin disappears or the demand for bitcoin declines and the price never rises? Every investment has risk, we should not be subjective, especially new and volatile assets like bitcoin.

[retreat]

Hodling and trading have their respective advantages and disadvantages and users can choose which one they think is more suitable for them. But for me personally, I prefer hodling compared to trading, because hodling doesn't require skills like trading - you just need to buy bitcoin and then hold it in your wallet and that's it. Meanwhile in trading you need good skills and analysis for entry and taking profit, which is not as easy as imagined and it doesn't suit me who doesn't want to be complicated.

You've explored the hodling vs. trading debate, which is timeless. Hodling may seem like a more relaxed way to try your luck, but it requires discipline and patience. Like stating, "I believe in this, and I'll ride out the storms." But would the market have liquidity if everyone hodled? Would traders' beloved fluctuations exist?

As you noted, trading requires strategy, attention, and adaptation. You must catch short-term waves and hope you read them correctly. What if your timing's off? You may overlook hodlers' long-term gains. A balance, right? A patience-action dance. Some thrive in trading's fast pace, while others like hodling. Your rhythm?
