Hodling vs trading

[Lorence.xD]

- I think Holding and Trading also depend on whether you have the money to spare or not. It's about what level of profit you want to achieve in the future and how quickly.
- Many people initially decide to be holders, but when the market becomes too volatile, they end up selling and becoming traders. The boundary between Holding and Trading is indeed fragile if your emotions are easily swayed.
- For me, I separate it into two distinct accounts: one for holding that I never touch, and one for trading. They are completely separate.

That is without a doubt an approach that you can take with the markets, but either one of those disciplines is already hard enough, to be able to perform both of them at the same time and to avoid making mistakes is probably beyond what most of the market participants can do, so they are forced to choose one of those options, and for someone like that it is better that at first they elect to become long term holders as it is the option with the smallest amount of risk and it is the easiest to perform out of the two as well.

These are actually options you can take to do with your money for expecting a profit, but it's still depends on your knowledge between investing long term or doing trading. If you don't have goals with your investment, like for a long term selling price or once you achieve your selling price early, then you wouldn't noticed that you are already doing both. This still depends on the money spare of a person. For example, his salary are enough to provide all his needs like the bills, foods, shelter and etc. So the person can only do with that situation is probably DCAing. Probably it would be a holding method for investment.

I think Hodling is the best way As it the horse of long race and can give desired profit according to your goals on the other hand, Trading is the risky part where you can loose and gain as well Like for that you have to look at market sentiments all the time and Have to jump in the mud like you need to do DYOR sometime you fell prey of FOMO. Due to that you have to take your decisions in hurry or being emotional. You have to Do TA and FA. while in hodl you need not to take that much stress.

I had alot of conversation over hodling in this given thread where alot of seniors share their thoughts and experiences in this thread over it must read..........>>>>Buy the DIP, and HODL!

There's pros and cons to it. Holding bitcoins is inarguably the easiest way you can earn money in the industry. You could literally invest your money today, sleep until the bull run comes, and you're sure to gain profits no matter what. Although the risks that entails this situation is something that investors must also take precaution in.

on the other hand trading has its perks, day trading in particular gives you immediate results in capital gains, holding takes more time to process and when it does it's not always guaranteed to be high, just as proportionate as to how much you're willing to put in. Trading could give you exponential profits but it comes with the heightened risks and propensity for losses.

[Baki202]

Between holding and trading with Bitcoin, holding is always the best. Because holding is always less risky than trading. Trading at this time is very risky because the Bitcoin market is very volatile right now. If you're patient, you're holding on to Bitcoin for the long term. This allows you to earn more money by taking less risk.

holding is the best to avoid the risk of losing your money while trading and the only way you can lose your money is when the price is coming down that is if you are holding and you will still make your money back when the price comes back, because with what is happening in the market now it is not favorable to trade so there is a choice you want to trade you trade if you want to hold you hold.

Now explain to me how you draw these contradictory conclusions?

Both Hodling and trading have some similarities such as ;

1. The use of wallets to store Bitcoin.

....

some  persons tend to choose hodling over trading due to some advantages such as;
....

2. Transaction Costs ; Hodling comes with a lower transaction cost which is from depositing the Bitcoin in your wallet. However trading incures cost due to frequent transactions especially when the network is congested.

In our community, HODLers use non-custodial wallets more, while active traders use centralized exchanges' built-in wallets to save on sending fees.

That’s true, I noticed people who buy hold for long period of time uses cold wallet. As for traders it’s better to use exchanges with low charges like Bitget to enjoy smooth trading.

[YUriy1991]

IMO, Holding will always win from many sides compared to trading.
Long-term holders really enjoy prices and market conditions that occur. Regarding the benefits gained also differs much from the benefits gained through trade and can be proven and has often been proven that is recognized by trade actors.

Right on target. Yes. long-term trading/Holding always wins in the end where someone only makes transactions twice if the capital is large, first when buying and once again when selling at a minimum without having to busy themselves with the frenetic market and why people often say that, they have proven it before, it's just us whenever you want to do it and feel it.

There is no loss in holding because the price of Bitcoins falls below the value of the investment but it recovers again. But this requires patience. If you patiently hold for long term, you will definitely get profit from there. However, this patience is not shared by everyone and failure to hold long-term results in a bad experience with Bitcoin. And those who can hold it successfully are sure to profit.

A person who trades regularly and has no plans to hold should use a centralized exchange to trade smoothly. And if one intends to hold then a good Decentralized wallet should be used to hold long term Bitcoins. in this case Electrum Bitcoin Wallet is more comfortable to use and secure.

There are also losses in holdings if one holds altcoins without holding bitcoins. Because it can be said that Bitcoin will never be a scam but altcoins are constantly being scammed. So if one wants to hold for long term then Bitcoin is better. and  holds Bitcoin long term they definitely profit but they have to have a target to hold Bitcoin until they reach their desired profit. A long-term hold does not mean a fixed period of time like a month, two months or a year. A long-term hold means folding until the target is crossed.  So if one does not reach his desired profit even after holding for six months or one year then one should not panic then it cannot be called a long term hold either.

I agree with you that a centralized exchange is applicable for trading because DEX charges extra fees because there are multiple block transactions. But I think it is wise to hold long term without trading. Because in this case, you only have to buy Bitcoin and keep it in a secure wallet, and in the case of trading, you have to do market analysis all the time, due to which no time can be given for any other work.  Cannot find multiple internet sources. And there is high risk in trading

I prefer to invest for long term than trading. Because if you keep investing for long term of trading it has good profit potential. And the risk of loss is less but daily profit from trading is more risky for me.  I don't like trading very much. Earlier I lost a lot of money while trading several times. Because of which now I try to stay away from trading. But it is very good to invest for long term.

Hodling and trading has always been a debate in the Bitcoin crypto space.Are they different?

In the cryptocurrency industry, no one is responsible for others. Whether it is loss or profit, everyone is responsible for their own assets. So I think we can only advise for educational purposes which is better, hodling or trading. People have different teachings and oppositions on this topic, but to the extent that I have listened to the top analyst in this thread, and also he has advised me to hodle as compared to trading. So it means to say that the hodling strategy is an easy and simple strategy that every newbie can do easily, in which you don't have to put much effort into something like trading; just buy a simple coin and put it in the hardware wallet and hodl.

Truly hodling is the best bet for a newbie however with regards to trading, a trader can earn profit regardless of market sentiment whether bullish or bearish sentiment there is always opportunity for traders to earn some decent profits however hodlers  would have to persevere and remain patient and avoid dumping their coin whenever the market is bearish runs until the market reverse back to bullish sentiment, personally I think experience traders earn decent profits compare to hodlers who would have  to adopt a long term perspective before earning some decent profits

Although the risks that entails this situation is something that investors must also take precaution in.

Everything definitely has pros and cons. And how effective the pros or cons are will also depend on each individual in preparing and doing it. because, we can see on the one hand, there are many people who choose trading because they feel that it is really worth doing. And this also depends on their capacity to prepare and carry out trading during this time. If so far they have been able to achieve optimal results from their trading and promising profits, as long as they can manage the risks and understand how to do it wisely, then go ahead, we don't need to judge them.

Likewise with long-term investors who prefer to hold for a certain period of time. So they can be more comfortable just waiting without high risks for daily trading. And this once again becomes the choice of each individual to do so. As long as they really understand what each of them is doing in the crypto world, whether trading or investing, of course they have their own risks.

[Essential10]

For some, the thrill of trading and the prospect of quick profits are enticing. Others prefer the more relaxed and long-term approach of hodling. They have distinct differences in terms of time frame, availability, transaction costs, long-term profitability and security. Whether you choose to trade or hold your bitcoins, hodling takes the stress out of constantly monitoring the market and making quick decisions. Trading can be a high-pressure and high-stress environment and often creates the potential for financial gain for the risk. For me, hodling is the easier and less stressful option. What to do with your bitcoins is your decision. Always prioritize the security of your Bitcoins by keeping your keys safe.

What is clear is that both are good, depending on our respective skills in carrying out both because the goal is still one of seeking profits from both holding and trading. I myself prefer to hold because I don't need to worry about market prices in the near future because the goal is for the long term and I don't need to be afraid of my bitcoin savings because using a cold wallet is different. If we trade, of course we have to use an exchange.

In essence, it all depends on skill, don't force yourself to trade if you can't analyze the market well, holding BTC is the best strategy for me at the moment.

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.
 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.

Nevertheless, despite these similarities hodling and trading are also distinct this is due to the fact that hodling is usually long termed ( hodling appreciates better during long term.) however trading returns come from short term fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin.Due to the uniqueness of Bitcoin,some  persons tend to choose hodling over trading due to some advantages such as;

1. Ease ; hodling Bitcoin saves you the stress of understanding marketing strategies and little price fluctuations As you only store the Bitcoin in your wallet without transacting.(successful trading requires constant research and experience)

2. Transaction Costs ; Hodling comes with a lower transaction cost which is from depositing the Bitcoin in your wallet. However trading incures cost due to frequent transactions especially when the network is congested.

3. Long-Term  Gains ;Over time Bitcoin  has shown promising potential in it's price.Hodling  helps you benefit from the long term potential of Which in most cases appreciates better than little price gains from trading.

4. Security; Hodling your Bitcoin gives you a better option of making use of offline wallets such as air gapped wallets or hardware wallets,As they deem more secure than online wallets
 
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.

Don't forget to keep your keys safe 😁

Holding and trading in Bitcoin is very important. 
Because it is definitely good to have an idea about Bitcoin holdings because gaining knowledge is always a good sign. Holdings are always long-term, and holding bitcoins is much less risky. Usually in a wallet you can hold bitcoins for a long time (repeatedly monthly or weekly, and also following the DCA method). Thus if you are holding bitcoins you need to use a secure wallet, which you can use a hardware wallet. Only a secure hardware wallet can store bitcoins for long periods of time with much less risk.

Trading is very sensitive. Because you should always keep updated news about the market. And a mistake is more likely to result in loss. Because the Bitcoin market is always up and down, if you can't trade on time, then you must do it at risk. This is why trading always involves a lot of risk.

Finally I would say holding is safer than trading. Because trading is always high risk and long term holding is low risk. Benefits are more in long term holding.

I will say learn from the best and those who have big and large amounts of Bitcoin.
Micheal Saylor, El Salvador President,  Robert Kiyosaki and those you know are real in for the uprise of Bitcoin,  they want to see you hold than they want to see you trade your coins.

Sowhy not adopt the same way they go. If you can not buy the way they do to accumulate and increase your holdings don't panic just make sure you have something doing as that wouldn't lead to you pushing trade your Bitcoin.
People trade for profits too, the question now is are your chances of profit  accumulations sure?

You know in truth that bitcoin holdings are very favorable in the long term for millionaires. But for people who are not like them and who also want to hold Bitcoin, it's fine too, but don't expect them to get rich from Bitcoin because it's very expensive at the moment if a holder who is not rich but wants to get rich in Bitcoin thinks.

But holdings are really the best tools for long-term investment, not only in Bitcoin but also in other top cryptos in the market.

I agree with your opinion, if we are just starting out in the world of crypto, it would be better for us to invest because it is fairly easy because everyone can do it, it is very different from trading, it takes a lot of effort to be able to make a profit in trading.

Everyone knows that holding Bitcoin is a good thing. And it is possible to gain high profit through bitcoin holding which is very difficult to do through trading because trading is not always able to give profit and many times there is loss but there is no loss if holding. Because if the price of bitcoins falls after you buy them, you can't say that you have made a loss until you sell them. Because you will be holding them for long term so that loss recovery is again not a big problem for the holders.

[Dunamisx]

If you have the privilege to hodl then take advantage in this as your investment in bitcoin is to give you profits which can serves as your earnings means, then don't hesitate to grab in this opportunity regardless of what may be your challenges because bullrun will always come after Halving, also the value of bitcoin remains ever increasing and this is part of the reason why some have chosen bitcoin over any other forms of assets investment because it's relatively reliable.

You are right I am going to also agree with this opinion that holding is much better and easy rather than trading. Because if anyone want to do trading I mean short term trading here he have to knowledge about technical analysis like candle analysis. A short term trader should also always attention about cryptocurrency news and updates. In this case the beginner who are new into trading since they do not have much knowledge about technical analysis from the beginning, trading is very risky and difficult for them. On the other hand, if someone wants to hold for long term, he can hold for long time by following a DCA strategy with knowledge of some fundamental analysis, but it should be remembered that long term holding is safe only when it is done on Bitcoin.

especially for people like me who have a real job which is tied to work time, so it is more profitable to make long-term investments, from there the real job is not interrupted and I can make money from the results of long-term investments. I hope that I can be a retiree in my old age, considering that currently I work in the private sector, I actually want to learn trading too, maybe I will start small and learn to relax, so that as time goes by I have trading knowledge too
