Al little experiment, what is better - hodling or trading ?

[HistoLock]

Between holding and trading, I prefer holding, but you have to keep in mind whether you are going to trade short term or long term, if you are interested in trading long term then holding is better for you. Since I know about the risk of trading and there is a fear of losing money, I will not trade but hold. If I hold, it will be good for me in the future. I know that to trade I have to analyze and have knowledge about it, many times it is seen that despite having knowledge I can lose money. So I will say that I will invest for long term and when the market is good I will get good profit, I think it will be very good for me, so I will hold.

Holding and trading are two completely different and there is a lot of difference between them, if you do trading then you will be afraid of losing your money. Because you will have to face a lot of volatility in the market due to which you can become emotional and there is a possibility of losing your money. But when you invest if you hold it for a long time then when the market takes a good position then you will gain a lot of profit. In that case from my side if you invest in Bitcoin for a long time and you have a great plan and goal then you will definitely be successful. But by trading you will never be successful rather you will face people and lose money, so I will advise you to invest in Bitcoin which is better than trading.

We can suggest to people and argue that investing and holding are better than trading. But trading can also generate profits. In the early stages of trading, it is very likely and certainly traders will incur losses. But over time, trading is not something to be feared. After all, there are still people who take advantage of trading to gain profits.

Both can be profitable here, but the difference between them is the only risk and the need for different skills to manage them. That is, in terms of investment, no skills are needed here, you can start investing by just acquiring some general ideas about Bitcoin and it is a long-term journey, that is, here you can never expect to make short-term profits, or you can never withdraw some money if necessary, here you just have to buy, and keep it for the long term, and only enjoy success in the long term. But on the other hand, in terms of trading, here you have to achieve success only based on skill, it is not possible to succeed without skill. And here you have to learn trading with patience even if you gain skill and experience, the main thing is that both are profitable, but you have to choose one according to your situation and ability that you can manage properly.

To find a clear cut answer about which option is better between trading or hodling, we have to see Bitcoin price chart. It's now very clear that price of Bitcoin goes exponentially up with time. If we have bought Bitcoin under 20k in Dec 2022 and HODL till start of this year then one can get a 5x return in less then three years. No bank or any other scheme gives that much profit in such short duration. If you go for short term trading then you might get profit but it's nothing compared to profit you get on long term investment.

These two methods have quite distinct differences. While both carry risks, most people prefer holding over trading. Holding is a suitable strategy for investors who want to reduce the stress and risk associated with short-term market fluctuations. By holding assets long-term, your investment potential will slowly but surely increase significantly over time.

Trading requires in-depth knowledge, precise analysis, and mental preparedness to face the risk of losing your money. Not everyone is comfortable or has the time for this, and many of us give up trading due to the significant risks involved. Therefore, choosing to hold is a wise decision. If you consistently and patiently hold your investments over the long term, especially those with strong fundamentals, you're likely to achieve satisfactory returns in the future.

The point you made is very good. Indeed, it all comes down to individual choice. Trading requires not only capital, but many other things, such as the ability to analyze the market (technical analysis), having a good trading plan before entering the market, having proven psychological skills, etc. Of course, this carries greater risk, while holding for the long term doesn't require much preparation, just patience and income that can be used to gradually purchase specific assets like $BTC.

Your idea of experimenting with trading is a great way to learn because nothing teaches better than putting theory into practice, even with a small amount. Just keep in mind that trading is much harder than it looks, it requires discipline, patience, and the ability to follow a plan without letting emotions take control. That’s why many people end up doing better by simply hodling, especially if they believe in Bitcoin’s long-term potential like you do. Still, there’s real value in trying, because even if you don’t grow the amount much, you’ll gain experience that can help you make smarter decisions in the future. Whatever happens, treat it as a learning journey and don’t be discouraged if the results aren’t perfect right away.

For me, holding is always the best compared to trading, it has less risk and there is profit, there is no fear of loss. Whenever you trade, you will have the fear of losing money and it is always risky, so you should refrain from trading. If you do not understand about trading, then never do it, then you will face losses, experienced people also face losses many times while trading. So holding is profitable and risk-free compared to trading, here if you hold for a long time, you can earn good profits for a while.

It would be even better if what we hold is Bitcoin

Holding doesn't give us much worry because we just need to hodl and not do anything. We can watch the price all day long but we can just watch it occasionally and set the alarm so we can be ready to sell.

Trading is not easy and you need to spend time to learn and having better skills. Only by learning more you can do to have better skills.

Yes, comparatively speaking, trading is definitely much more difficult and risky than holding, everyone can do holding, but not everyone can do trading, holding is a relatively safe strategy, where holding accumulates at an average price by holding for a long time, avoiding the risk of market fluctuations, and if it is kept consistent for a long time, it brings a high probability of success. But trading, where everything has to be managed skillfully with deep knowledge, if you make a slight mistake in market research, you will face losses here, all in all, it is very risky, it is not possible to succeed from here without complete skill, so I think, holding will undoubtedly be the most correct decision for those who do not want to take high risks.

The key lies in your knowledge. If you don't understand trading long term investment is a wise choice. Because trading carries high risks unlike investing especially in Bitcoin selling is not the right choice. If you have confidence in Bitcoin's future, then defensive buying is the right choice. If you currently have 0.001 BTC, every time you set aside money from your income buy Bitcoin.

I understand. Sometimes we're easily fooled by people who are successful trading altcoins, who can easily make short term profits. But trust me they do so because they already have sufficient knowledge. So if you don't have a deep understanding long term investment is the way to go.

Undoubtedly, holding is better than trading. So we can say that trading is not for everyone, not everyone can be successful in trading, but investment is for everyone, if someone invests in Bitcoin and holds for a long time, then the risk will be very low and they can expect to make a profit. Now maybe newbies plan to trade after gaining knowledge about Bitcoin, but at the end of the day they face losses. However, as a newbie, it is better to invest than trade, because if someone does not have enough knowledge about trading, then he will not be able to make a profit. And I have heard stories of some people who plan to trade with $50-$100 dollars, actually trading requires a lot of capital, but if someone continues to invest for a long time with a small amount of money in the DCA strategy, then at some point the investment amount will be much larger.

Holding and trading are two sides of the same coin but they function in very different ways holding is more about patience and vision you buy an asset like bitcoin and simply let time do its work no constant monitoring no stress about every dip or pump it is a game of conviction and belief in the long term potential of the market many people find comfort in this because they know the short term noise doesn’t matter what matters is the growth years down the line.Trading on the other hand is fast paced and mentally draining it demands constant focus and a good strategy the market is volatile and every small move could mean profit or loss traders have to handle emotions like fear and greed all while trying to make rational decisions that alone makes it tough for most people but those who master it can generate consistent returns and enjoy the thrill of being active in the market.

Both paths can be profitable but the requirements are very different holding doesn’t require deep technical skills it just asks for patience and discipline while trading requires hours of study chart analysis and risk management techniques holding lets you step away and live life without watching the screen every hour but trading ties you to the market since decisions need to be made quickly. At the end of the day the better choice depends on personal situation and mindset some prefer the calmness of long term investment while others thrive on the challenge of trading the most important part is being realistic about what fits your lifestyle your tolerance for risk and your willingness to learn both can work but only if managed properly.

Hodling is easier than trading because it doesn't require the hassle of trading, where you need to correctly set entry and exit strategies, understand market trends, technical indicators, and various other factors. Hodling simply buys Bitcoin and holds it for the long term... you simply hold it and aren't overly affected by market noise.
It's better for those who don't want the hassle and don't have the time or energy to monitor market movements daily, and it's also less risky than trading.
However, hodling requires patience and a strong mentality... even in adverse market conditions, they remain unfazed and focus solely on long-term goals. Those who tend to be impatient and seek short-term, instant profits, will not be suited to the hodling strategy, as it requires confidence in the long-term value of their bitcoin holdings.

While all of your point of views are correct about trading and investing but if you ask me to summarize it in a very few words then I would say that investing is for those who can hold for long term and usually the people who are rich can afford to invest. Traders are those who needs to get quick income and also constant  income and therefore they off for trading.

Both trading investing have their pons and cons and you cannot say that one is better than the other however the overall profits in investing may be much higher than trading.

Trading can give us impressive profits as long as you trade professionally. But if you are still starting to learn the process, do not expect for some gains but realistically, expect consistent losses.

Exactly the mindset some gamblers carry inorder to make instant profits is so alarming, meanwhile they are just new to the system and needs to learn a lot about trading but instead of that they are heading for faster means which in quote will results to huge loss of funds. For beginners ill clearly advice hodling and that's what I'm doing now.

Hi.

I got 0.001 BTC (worth today about 100 USD) from www.freebitco.in and I plan to make a small experiment with it. I will try, is it possible to increase this initial BTC amount (0.001) with trading: selling then BTC is overvalued and buying then BTC is undervalued.

I believe that Bitcoin will be worth at around million USD in 2040, but meanwhile it will be much much cheaper than today (hundred thousand USD). Is my holding then worth 1000 USD? Or more? Or less?

With great excitement,

I do not advice newbies to start trading if you don't have any knowledge about trading, and besides trading is way risky, than it's profitable, generally start with holding and learn to understand the market while you are holding, this way you will be able to understand better which one you want to do, trading or investment. I don't know your goal or aim to owning a Bitcoin but try to define what's your goal and follow it.

Between holding and trading, I prefer holding, but you have to keep in mind whether you are going to trade short term or long term, if you are interested in trading long term then holding is better for you. Since I know about the risk of trading and there is a fear of losing money, I will not trade but hold. If I hold, it will be good for me in the future. I know that to trade I have to analyze and have knowledge about it, many times it is seen that despite having knowledge I can lose money. So I will say that I will invest for long term and when the market is good I will get good profit, I think it will be very good for me, so I will hold.

It's good that you know what's good and bad for you as a newbie or someone who isn't that experienced. Otherwise, newbies these days barely know enough, and they directly jump into the market and start trading without even realizing that they are making a mistake, because trading is not as easy as it may sound. This mostly happens because they watch the videos of some so-called influencers and content creators who keep hyping up the trading scene and make it sound like it's very easy to make money from this market, all they have to do is have some capital, and then start buying and selling assets.

If you listen to such things, and start acting immediately without doing your own research, the results won't be pleasing for you because it if was that easy to gain success in this market, everyone who is into trading would've been a millionaire by now, but if you do a survey or even check the stats, you will know that most traders don't really make much profit in the long run, and that's because trading is not that easy to conquer.

It's important for newbies to understand these things and act accordingly if they don't want to lose money unnecesarily.

Are you experienced in trading platforms? Do you have enough knowledge about trading? Do you know all the strategies of trading platforms? If you know about these few things, I think you can be somewhat okay in trading platforms, but if you are not skilled enough in trading strategies and trading experience, you will never succeed from trading platforms, but you will lose more. But if you hold your 0.001 Bitcoin, in that case you will achieve a lot of success after a few years, moreover, if you wish, you can constantly deposit Bitcoin to increase your investment because there is no possibility of losing your money by holding it if you can provide proper security to the wallet you hold. Bitcoin will probably reach one million dollars before 2040, if Bitcoin reaches one million dollars, in that case your 0.001 BTC will definitely be equivalent to $1000.

Of course holding is good here you can make profit without any thought and monitoring. The biggest thing is if you want to grow financially then you have to earn income from multiple places but if you are trading then your mentality will never let you spend time on other activities because you will always be restless for your trading when you will see the volatility of your fund. But holding will give you a fresh mind along with profit so you can easily do other things and increase your source of income. And long term holding will give you profit for sure but when you go into trading you will be at a lot of risk so you can also lose a lot.

[Zenin Fu]

In fact, no one knows when Bitcoin will be worth $1 million.
If you hold Bitcoin for a long time, its value may increase over time. However, it may also decrease over time due to currency fluctuations.
If you want to trade with Bitcoin, I would say that you need to have a lot of experience in this field, otherwise you will never be able to profit from trading. So I think you should do everything in the light of your own experience without focusing on the possibilities.
