Just HODL

[Stable090]

There’s no wrong if you want to trade as long as you have what it takes to be a good trader

Seriously, I don’t discourage people that are interested in trading from trading. If you know you can face all the challenges of trading, then you are free to trade. I know trading is risky compared to when you are holding, and trading is difficult to learn, but I am sure if you dedicate your time to it and really want to learn it, then you will do that. If you don’t have enough money, it’s always difficult to hold. Some people do end up trading, so they will be making money from trading and sustaining themselves.

it show that bull run will surely take place before the end of this month of January for hodlers to make profits.

When I saw this part of your post, it sounded so funny to me, because I don’t know maybe you don’t really know what a bull run is, I don’t know how sure you are that the bull run will start at the end of January. I think you are the first person to hear that the bull run will start in January. Most people who are predicting the bitcoin bull run are all saying that after halving, we should be expecting the bull run, no one said the bull run will start before halving.

It's January 5 and those traders who focus on using leverage are already hitting huge losses when it's not even bear market.
Twitter

This happened 2days ago, over $600 million has already been loss few days to 2024. Trading is hard and risky while using leverage makes it more risky especially using high leverages. One reason to avoid trading with leverage is that, these traders suffers more in pump and dump Schemes and also market Manipulations especially those traders who trade meme coins and other altcoins which are prone to this.
The best bet now is to HODL even if you are investing in altcoin find some trusted ones and HODL while if you reduce risk entirely just stick with bitcoin since we have seen alot of altcoins which fail to meet expectations.

Even if you desire to trade just use spot trading or any other offering less risk while when using leverage use small leverages and don't be too greedy to use stop lost and take profit.

Also you shouldn't be disappointed or give up in bitcoin or crypto investment if trading hasn't work for you just try to HODL bitcoin or at least do more proper research on the altcoin you choose to HODL while if you are still have desire to trade, reduce the amount you use in trading, try to avoid risk when necessary and continue to learn to improve your skills and knowledge about trading.

One big red flag to remember in leverage trading is that you could be adversely affected by pump and dump schemes, not to mention market manipulation. I mean, especially for those of us who trade certain meme coins and altcoins. We know that this token fertile ground for this kind of thing. I also bought some alcoins but only to take short profits, it's very rare for me to hold coins for a long time.

If you invest in altcoin for a short period of time expecting a small amount of profit, you will definitely not be able to make a profit. You must increase the power of patience if you want to profit, or you will never be able to make more money. First of all you need to know that both short term trading and investing are risky so you don't take such risks which can result in losing your money. However, if you invest for profit, you must increase your patience and avoid altcoin investment because it is risky, so if you want to invest risk-free, you must invest in bitcoin for a long time.

Before entering the cryptocurrency market it is very important to have a broad knowledge of cryptocurrency and the intricacies of the market. Crypto markets are highly volatile. Markets will fluctuate all the time. But if you think you will profit daily by going up and down then it will never happen. After few days of good profit suddenly you are stuck with whole wealth. So I would say just HODL. 👍👍

[Nheer]

Trading is not a good choice for beginners but sadly, many do this believing that they can make it right but the results are disappointing.

Beginners should be discouraged from trading due to the risk involved, but they may still be persuaded to try by success stories they hear about others who have made money trading. Not that they can't succeed at it, but we know how beginners tend to disregard any guidance telling them to study before taking any action. I wouldn't mind if they could complete the learning process before beginning to trade, but I'm sure they would choose to forgo learning in favour of starting right away. This would never end well for them, it would be like their killing themselves with their own hands if they traded without knowledge.
 
Trading is not for beginners, and even experienced traders find it extremely difficult because it involves a lot more work and knowledge than simply investing and holding. It also takes a long time to learn because there are many features that must be fully understood, which can be difficult for beginners.  It is recommended that beginners stick to investing and hodling since it would be safer and easy for them.

Hodling is surely the safest route for beginners because understanding and having an in-depth knowledge about the cryptocurrency market and the behavioral pattern of coins is key to successful trading and it is usually difficult and takes a lot of time to achieve and also requires a strong mindset that can handle any kind of outcome which is unlike the beginners as they are only focused on making profits.

it show that bull run will surely take place before the end of this month of January for hodlers to make profits.

The bull run is around the corner but i have never heard of any predictions of having the bull run in January, most predictions i come across still predict it to be months away or even a year. The next bull run is expected to happen after the arrival of bitcoin halving and we are yet to witness bitcoin halving and January is just a few days away from its end so if your claims were to be right we should be witnessing bitcoin halving already.

Make rightful claims backed up with proof so before making any statement you are required to carry out proper research especially when talking about the arrival of bull run. For sure no one is certain about the exact date it will begin and all talks are merely speculations.

Read this post about when bull run is expected and here is an update made by @1miau as at January 21st, 2024 which shows that bitcoin halving is less than 100 days away (87 days and some hours away).

@ Op Investing in altcoins is full of risk over the long term, we've seen thousands of altcoins get wiped out of the market and empty portfolios. So I never like to invest in Altcoins and the risk is high and the benefits are low, investors get extra greedy and invest more and more in Altcoins for more income. And later they see a little profit, but wait for more profit later and end up facing heavy losses.

And the best if investing in bitcoins is that the risk is low and the benefit is likely to be high. Since the past time, thousands of very trusted investors have earned huge money from Bitcoin. Just invest patiently and accept risk wherever risk is applicable. At the moment the bitcoin market is down so the bitcoin market will improve due to bitcoin halving. So you must invest to take advantage of this opportunity because there is very less chance of loss when investing in Bitcoin.Bitcoin is best suited for long-term holding only.

[Ricardo11]

All of us should be more motivated towards long-term bitcoin holdings. Trading should only be done by those who have superior trading skills. Trading without skill is more likely to lose. Those with no experience or knowledge of trading should always hold using the DCA method. And we should always invest that money, without which we can live our daily life and in any danger we can get out of danger without that money, i.e. we can solve our problems without breaking the invested money. Always research about trading and holding.

[Y3shot]

The best way to avoid lose of money is just hodl. Doing this it is very certain that the market will increase whereby profit can be derived. The only thing one needs to do is just learn to have patience,  with patience it is easy to make better profit in hodling. We are in the season that the price of cryptocurrency is increasing, this the time for hodling to make better  profit.  The little dips this period should not be a reason to panic and sell, hodlong is the only way to achieve the goal of making profit.

Yes, investing in altcoins is risky so it is best to stay away from investing in altcoins. However, if one has a good understanding of the market then one can invest in altcoins in partial amount like (80-90℅) in bitcoin and (10-20%) in various altcoins. But to stay safe and risk free you must invest in Bitcoin. If you invest in Bitcoin and suffer losses due to market volatility, you can recover quickly if you can patiently HODL for a few days. But if you suffer losses by investing in altcoins, you won't be able to recover easily. So it is best to invest in Bitcoin and hold it for the long term.

Also you shouldn't be disappointed or give up in bitcoin or crypto investment if trading hasn't work for you just try to HODL bitcoin or at least do more proper research on the altcoin you choose to HODL while if you are still have desire to trade, reduce the amount you use in trading, try to avoid risk when necessary and continue to learn to improve your skills and knowledge about trading.

I also just adjust to the rhythm of the market game. they come in and place my bid on the market and as soon as it goes up a little and they start selling I sell again. if that's not what we do, we'll just be respectful spectators. The incredible performance of BTC and alts kept everyone busy.

Many new traders who start trading with capital (without acquiring knowledge about trading) only aim to accumulate double the amount of capital. In the new state this greed starts trading with lust and without researching the market they lean towards profit. Eventually they manage to lose money. So I warn the newbies, never come to trade because of greed, there will be a high chance of loss. If you want to trade, you must have an idea about the market and the future of that coin, then if you trade on that coin, you will be able to gain benefits.

Everyone trades with the expectation of profit, you will find no one who trades with any other expectation than trading with the expectation of profit. The OP has discussed holding here and the term hold doesn't go well with trading but with investing. 

In crypto trading you don't hold your coins for a long period of time because in this type of trading your objective is to sell your coins at any time if you get a fixed amount a certain amount of profit. But in case of investment, the matter is different, investors try to hold the investment for a certain period of time before investing in a long term plan and many hold their investment for a long time. The purpose of both is to gain, but the path followed by both is different, ie one is temporary gain and the other is relatively higher gain over a long period of time.

[Lukmanfirdaus1]

The safest way to play crypto is to just keep accumulating, I don't like spot trading, especially high levy trading of 125x for example is very crazy. I can't understand how anyone could dare to use 125x in Lev trading. I myself rarely trade either on spot or on leverage. from year to year I just keep accumulating, if a bear season comes I'll double the amount I used to buy, that seems like the safest way. but it comes back to each individual.

One should never engage in futures trade because futures trade investors only face losses. In my opinion hold and go long sell when the bull run starts and don't buy. According to this strategy only those investors who hold will be eligible to receive the benefits.

[Gormicsta]

You couldn't be more correct, and yes sometimes in the journey of crypto, the best option would be to BUY and HODL, you can agree with me that the most successful people in the crypto world are those that has mastered the act of BUYING and HODLING, I'm not saying traders are not successful in the crypto world but we must come to agree on the fact that if you HODL Bitcoin, you don't stand any chances of losses, other tokens might be different but Bitcoin has proven to have stood out with the previous and current progress so far.

When you HODL you don't fear dips, on the contrary, you even pray for the dips sometimes because it's another opportunity to BUY more Bitcoin.
I really do not see any reasons to why I should go ahead to trade and risk loosing a fraction of my Bitcoin when I could simply just HODL and watch my figures grow overtime.

[Games.Bitcoin]

The higher the leverage, the riskier. Again the higher the leverage the higher the profit. The bottom line is that you will never get rich trading futures. Even if you can take some profit for a short period of time, the market will suddenly liquidate you with a big dump or pump. So I would say hold on as much as you can and hope for the future. Of course several times the profit is possible.

[Cryptoprincess101]

Trading is not a good choice for beginners but sadly, many do this believing that they can make it right but the results are disappointing.
Just hope that the next generation will have the time to analyze their position and be able to see their capabilities because it is hard to assume that we can make a good profit if we lack of knowledge and surely it ends up losing.

In fact, many old traders quit trading and are now becoming investors and holders because they know and based on their experience it was the best option to take.

Trading isn't that bad though but it isn't advisable because as a beginner that isn't too conversant with how trading works and to be observing some signs and signals before trading gives so much stress and calculations and one can get into too many losses in the process so buying and hodling is always the best as one just needs to invest your money on Bitcoin, use the DCA to buy more Bitcoin from time to time then just sit and watch your investment grow.

[vs2014]

There are many investors who got in hours before the dump and then got disappointed before it stabilized. But you should verify the position of those who have been holding for several years only with the intention of selling. Moreover it is emotional to think that you will earn millions of dollars by trading because you will understand the amount of loss here when you start. So you hold on thinking that you will not get a profit very quickly and sell using the wind in the bull market.

ven if you desire to trade just use spot trading or any other offering less risk while when using leverage use small leverages and don't be too greedy to use stop lost and take profit.

Trading Bitcoin will not be as profitable as imagined. You can ask traders who have experience in using Bitcoin as a traded coin.
Profits from trading Bitcoin are obtained, but they are only a small part of the profits obtained by Bitcoin holders who set return targets.
Spot trading is less hassle and less risky than leveraged trading. I agree. However, in this type of spot trading, I also think that if you choose Bitcoin as the coin being traded, you will not get a profit according to the target, smaller than long-term holding.

One big red flag to remember in leverage trading is that you could be adversely affected by pump and dump schemes, not to mention market manipulation. I mean, especially for those of us who trade certain meme coins and altcoins. We know that this token fertile ground for this kind of thing. I also bought some alcoins but only to take short profits, it's very rare for me to hold coins for a long time.

Tokens or coins with a mechanism like that may indeed provide multiple profits, especially with the particular level that we use. They also optimize the pump and dump versions for some of their trading needs, especially in Futures. This makes it very possible to get more rpofits. But in fact, betting like this is not for everyone. Maybe only for professional traders who are experienced and do it as a job every day. Because if for newbies or anyone who is not used to and competent at trading like this, then our money will run out very easily and quickly. So, there is no denying the high risks involved in this kind of trading.

For this reason, holding on certain coins is the main choice for beginners and lower-risk takers because it will be safer than future trading or leverage. So, however, we can each proceed in areas that we are capable of, not to force ourselves on things that are too high a risk for our abilities.

Well, altcoin trading pairs are more profitable than Bitcoin, based on my experience but the risk is too high knowing that highly volatile coins may dump drastically and sometimes never recover which certainly makes you lose if it happens. Unlike Bitcoin, where if you just hold after the dump, we can still see it coming back. But if we are an impatient trader, whether it is Bitcoin or altcoins we still need to learn how to hold because trading is not all about buying and selling, holding is also a part of it. In fact, sometimes it happens that I hold for a few days waiting for the recovery and it works, I'd never lose any but instead, I make a profit.
