Accumulating Bitcoin or trading Bitcoin which is more wise to do.

[Distinctin]

That depends on where you feel more confident and comfortable of doing. Hodling might be less risky but hodling does not seem so easy just like others are speculating. You need to have a good control of your emotions for you not to break down when prices are suddenly going least of your expectation. That’s just normal in a volatile market like crypto, so expect that there will be more price correction all throughout. Just like trading, patience is a necessity. If you don’t have a good management of it, both hodling and trading will never be successful but will only leave you with a lot of losses and frustrations.

Bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency in the world right now and a lot of people has developed interest in it.

Bitcoin has become a great crypto in all over the world since is the only that stand as a coins that everyone knows much about and it always gives a turn up at every time a person purchase it. That's why a lot of people's have developed much of interest on it.

A lot of people are also confused on whether to accumulate and hold as many as possible or to start trading it.
Bitcoin will grow more bigger and stronger as the day goes by, people who had opportunity to invest in it 10 years ago and never did are regretting it till date, accumulating as many Bitcoin as possible will be the must wise thing someone will do than trading it.

We humans beings where individuals defferences and everyone has a plan for his future, some people's preferred to accumulate a Bitcoin than used them trading since that's what they have knowledge about. Because not every body have knowledge about trading that's why so much people's do not, but some people's reasons is because of the risks that is involved and all people's have the mind to afford the risks that are involved in trading which why some will just free themselves and only accumulate a Bitcoin and live it for long periods of time so that it can earned huge profits.

You should do which one you think will benefit you the most and which one you know is best to do. If you want to accumulate and hold bitcoin for the long term, which is obviously the safest way to profit from bitcoin, you should do that. 
 
Some people feel like holding bitcoin is really a waste of time due to how they feel that they can really make a fortune if they trade it, which many do, but a lot of people have lost their investment due to the wrong timing on the bitcoin market. It's highly volatile nature makes it more risky and harder for its movement to be predicted.

Pretty interesting Topic!
In the term of profit or loss, if we compare trading or investment, then according to my opinion, when there is a bull run, trading gives you just 2x to 4x profit margins. In the case of buying, they have higher profit margins when the bull run reaches its peak as compared to trading. 
 
So it means to say that, according to me, accumulating Bitcoin is the best way to make huge profit margins. While trading, you cannot get profit margins in the same way that you get from investment. Apart from this, if we talk about efforts, you will have to learn some skill in trading like technical analysis, fundamental analysis, time, probability, etc., which requires a lot of efforts, but despite this, the lose ratio is high, which means the profit/loss ratio is 50-50. . On the other hand, in investment, you will have to make a few stances and at the same time, the profit margins are also high and the loss ratio is nonexistent. Meaning if Bitcoin is taken, then those who have invested are in an all time bullish moment from a long term perspective. So therefore, for me, investment is better than trading.

First the title or topic seems more like a question but the content itself says other wise. Perhaps you have concluded already that holding is wise enough than trading but perhaps you might be wrong or right because it's quite an individual thing. You can be comfortable trading crypto and someone else will be comfortable holding. The both are likely to make profit the difference is one is taking more risk than the other and believe me the higher the risk the higher the chance of more profit is.

We can not decide for anyone hence neither trading nor holding for a long term is the best as long as it's not just one person that's in the contest. Everyone has their own pockets and risk management.

Similarly, the most common here is holding which makes you more comfortable even with the volatility of the market. Accumulating bitcoin is mostly the best choice for everyone because of the opportunities that it gives and losses are minimized to the fullest as long as you hold your a prone to profit. All that is most required for profit making is how long one is patient enough to hold the longer you hold especially bitcoin the more profit you will make so holding has always been the choice of the people here and I'm not excluded.

Finally, what I'm saying in essence is if you can trade and make profit don't let our own contributions or perceptions and ideas towards trading influence you to do less you have to goal to reach and none of us will reach that goal for you so if you think you can trade go for it but if not you better stick with accumulation(Hodling)

[Ever-young]

Unless you consider yourself a good trader, I would stick to accumulating

Even people who consider themselves as good traders can still not predict the market 100%, the market can still play tricks on them and they'll end up gambling away their money.
When it comes to Bitcoin investment, then the best approach has always been BUY and HODL,  because you can only reap the actual benefits of Bitcoin when you look at it as a long-term investment and you target the long-term profits, and trading is definitely not looking at the long-term potentials of bitcoin.

[BlackBoss_]

Even people who consider themselves as good traders can still not predict the market 100%, the market can still play tricks on them and they'll end up gambling away their money.

Because an experienced and good trader does not predict the market. They are disciplined with their trading action and they take action very disciplined. They don't enter the market if they won't see risk and profit ratio from an entry and their target exit is good enough in both potential risk and profit.

They are flexible with their trading action by entering and exit the market and they even are quickly to exit the market if it turns bad and they can accept a draw, minor loss to avoid bigger loss. They have plans for trading and their plans are not depended on market predictions.

When it comes to Bitcoin investment, then the best approach has always been BUY and HODL,  because you can only reap the actual benefits of Bitcoin when you look at it as a long-term investment and you target the long-term profits, and trading is definitely not looking at the long-term potentials of bitcoin.

HOLD will give very good ROI with Bitcoin. See Bitcoin ROI.

This is what we call

HODLING vs TRADING in which have had answered a thousand times before in this forum because it stands such to buy or to sell .

but for me personally ? since you are talking about the number 1 and most expensive coin? I will choose HODLING or accumulating specially in our time now .

[adaseb]

I am pretty sure for the majority of people who tried trading bitcoin, ended up with less than if they just held all together. Everyone wants to get rich quick but it’s not that easy.

Throughout the years I’ve seen many people lose their bitcoin stash because they either gambled it on some gambling site, they traded it for some alt that ended up going -99% or they leveraged traded and went bust.

So for those people, which is the majority they would of been better off just holding their bitcoins and not doing anything.

[Darker45]

As far as my personal experience is concerned, this debate has long ended. Hodling has proven to be wiser than trading. Others may not agree, though. But my personal experience isn't uncommon. I have a number of Bitcoin friends who have long quit trading. The reason is that timing the market isn't easy.

A newbie who checks on the price every minute of the day may see a window of opportunity in the movements of the price. The same thing I saw years ago. He/she may see a pattern that seems easy to follow. I had the same impression myself when I was a newbie. Not until I tried trading myself that I realized it isn't as easy as it seems.

[lovesmayfamilis]

OP, is it better to trade or hold? For me, these are completely different activities. A person who only learned about Bitcoin yesterday cannot engage in trading. At the same time, any beginner can invest and keep Bitcoin for a long time. There's no big science here. So I don't think your question is correct. I know that those people who try to trade for years are not successful every time. You can reframe your post by saying: if you want to lose more Bitcoins, trade; if not, then just hold.

[bettercrypto]

I guess I'm in trading bitcoin because you can get a profit every day, and then the profit is available and we can use it in the crypto investment or compounding. also in bitcoin.

But of course we can only do this if there is deep knowledge of trading, because without that knowledge, we cannot do it for sure in the end.

[Plaguedeath]

Is that even a question?

If your friends is successful become a businessman and you're successful become a high skilled worker, why he need to close his business and become high skilled worker? or vice versa.

People who buy Bitcoin since 2014 and hold till now are gamblers! Bitcoin was really cheap and no one can predict Bitcoin can be so high like now.

Invest is when the asset relatively stable and it high unlikely will crash, before 2017 Bitcoin is nothing stable.

[mamesso]

Trading and investing are two different methods that have the same goal, you must be able to master the things needed in these two options before choosing one of them.
Trading has the opportunity to achieve big profits in the short term, but you must be prepared to face the worst possibility which often occurs due to very fast price movements which can exceed the amount of profit you want. You must have knowledge to trade such as technical analysis, market analysis, and information from various other sources such as X and news spread in electronic media. Equipping yourself with analysis skills and in-depth understanding will really help you in making trading decisions.

Investment is also not free from the risk of loss, but in most cases, investors can overcome this risk based on their goals when investing. Investments can be made instantly or using the DCA strategy, there is not much that needs to be done in investing as long as you are able to be patient in the long term and do not panic easily when asset values start to decline. Long-term investments have the characteristics of stability, besides that they can reduce anxiety about daily price fluctuations. So in my opinion, if you have no knowledge about trading, then investing is the best decision because you can maintain assets while remaining focused on asset growth over time.

Re: Accumulating Bitcoin or trading Bitcoin which is more wise to do.

Both are different, and this is a subjective question because not all are engaged into trading, and not all wants holding Bitcoin for a very long time probably because they're impatient that they prefer trading.

Wise to do? It depends on your skills. Are you a good trader? Go trade your Bitcoins. If not then just go buy, accumulate, and hold Bitcoins. If you know how to trade, and you're profitable in it then go trading, but except from that, just focus on accumulating, and holding Bitcoin. At the end of the day, it's your goals, strategies, and risk management that matters. Maybe add the skills as well.

As for me, I focus more on accumulating Bitcoin rather than trading because I don't know how to trade, and I've lost significant amount of money in trading already that I'm thinking of not doing it anymore.

[Yamifoud]

It is the wise thing to do to choose what is best for you and what you think you can do well.
 - not all become a successful trader
 - not all become a good investor but are good at trading

I highly recommend choosing based on your interest, not with the interest of others unless you are the same.
For newcomers, better to start investing first before moving to trading just to gain ideas because this is very important when we are there.

Bitcoin will grow more bigger and stronger as the day goes by, people who had opportunity to invest in it 10 years ago and never did are regretting it till date, accumulating as many Bitcoin as possible will be the must wise thing someone will do than trading it.

Am not saying those that trade Bitcoin are not making it big but accumulating Bitcoin is a lifetime investment and it will be more profitable.
So don't be confused anymore accurate as many Bitcoin as possible and hold on to it.

If you can hold it upto a long time then you should have a hold on it and continue to be aware of of all the market conditions. Just go for all the asset's you can Invest in it so that when it pumps you can have a good amount of profit.

Be aware of the market conditions so that whenever there should be crisis you can have a resale if you're investing something you can't afford to lose otherwise just put the money in there and forget.

Trading has its advantages and holding Bitcoin has its own advantage in the sense that you can buy Bitcoin at low price and then sell when its higher with profits but it's not every coin that you will trade and get a reasonable profit.Holding Bitcoin is psychologically stressful and emotionally but trading isn't that same because of the stop loss use, however trading is energy draining and stressful because if you don't have the knowledge, you would probably make nothing.

Another advantage of trading is that there is a way you can buy more Bitcoin with less than the amount you have, for instance with small amount of money, you can buy margin of Bitcoin with 3x or even more depending on how the exchange is able to borrow you, if you are good in margin trading you can use that to buy more Bitcoin and sell when profitable.

I have tried both, and judging from experience I have a peace of mind holding Bitcoin more than trading, if you must long or short the market, make sure you do it once in a while and with money that you are willing to lose, because in the case of trading you are simply gambling.

In the past, I always believe that trading is something you can do every day to get daily income but sometimes the market just behaved unexpectedly, and resulted in losses, you will be safer if you have a source of income and just focus on accumulating Bitcoin.
The most successful traders don't trade everyday, they do it based on what the chart is gearing up to do and thats why they use stop loss too, obviously, it shows that there is no way you won't lose money as a trader, so be prepared before even starting to trade.

If you think about it very well, the holders have always been the most successful.

[kryptqnick]

Trading is a risky and time-consuming practice. Some people seem to be good at it, and it can become a source of income for them. But a lot of people suck at trading, and I'm not sure that practice makes perfect in this case. Trading Bitcoin requires regular activities, stress, monitoring the market. Accumulation is way easier and also safer because Bitcoin does seem to have a strong upward long-term trend, whereas with trading, you can lose money even if a currency is good and has great potential. So, as for me, accumulation is wiser.
