Holding is better than trading

[Supreme Donvic]

I have seen most newbie traders: they want to profit quickly but don't have any basic knowledge, and they start trading without knowing how. They just saw that other traders are making a lot of profit, but trading requires technical knowledge and sound risk management. Newbies trading like gambling, they keep trading even after losing every trade. Newbies have no patience, so they want to get rich overnight by trading daily. While holding bitcoin is the best decision for new traders, it can at least be safer and more profitable than daily trading.

Even with technical knowledge there is no way to ensure that we are profitable. I've observed the market for a pretty long time seeing how people perform, even more so after people trades on a perp dex where we can see everyone's performance. I could easily say that my conclusion is 95% of people trading don't know what they are doing and just opening position based on hunch. Therefore I consider newbie trader who know nothing and veteran to be on the equal opportunity to make money in the crypto market.

What important is risk management but nothing else really matters except to increase chance of profitability by a very little gap.

I agree that even with extensive knowledge and years of experience, there is no guarantee we will make a profit. As many have pointed out, trading is not an office job where you can easily make a profit just by applying learned knowledge.

However, I disagree with the view that both novice and experienced trader have equal opportunities to make money. Knowledge and experience do not guarantee nothing, but at least if you know how to apply them properly, they improve your odds of winning.

If only 5% of trader make a profit, I'm sure they are all highly experienced.

The fact is that trading is very risky and anyone who is going into trading should know that his money is going to be wasted however this is not totally saying that everyone who is into trading are not gaining there are people who are into trading that are also gaining and that is the reason why you still see people talk about trading, if trading is all about loss I don't think anyone will be interested in going into trading or I don't think anyone will still being trading till now there are people who are making money from it but just few people.
Experience matters in trading those who are new into trading cannot be compared to those who are old members in trading this set of people have experience and they are very patient this kind of people usually make more money than those who are coming new in fact those who are coming new lose a lot.

Those who are ready to make short-term profits are always more inclined towards risky trading. But those who invest for the long term are never interested in trading and their mindset is different. There are many people who want to make quick money by trading and in order to become rich they use all their funds in trading, during the volatility of the market they face a lot of losses. That is why everyone should have minimum knowledge about trading and investment and later choose its positive side according to any plan. When a person chooses long-term investment and plans the investment accordingly and holds it, then he can expect high profits, and there will be no risk.

Knowledge is the key factor when you are into this business, both long and short term trade might bring decent profits if you have good understanding about this industry, though there's a big risk when taking the short term trade but if you are equip with right sets of skills and knowledge then you may have a better view in taking your position, but there's also traders who treats this venue as part of their investment and they mostly on the long term or holding and wait for the pump before releasing or selling their assets.

Many people lose real knowledge here by thinking of making quick profits in trading, in fact it is a long learning process, but if someone does not have this learning mentality, then they will definitely not be able to achieve anything good here. They will keep trading here with emotion, but they will never get any positive results from it. So those who can survive in the long-term learning process, they can move towards good success.

I think, because of the little knowledge, many people refrain from trading in quick time. Yes it is right if there is less idea or real knowledge about trading, he will never achieve good results. So you can invest as an alternative. Because investing in Bitcoin does not require much knowledge, Only money is needed and waiting for the right time. However, both trading and investing have upsides but relatively less risk in investing.

Yes only money is required when it comes to bitcoin investment, in this case small knowledge is required here because it has lesser risk. The second thing that is required when it comes to bitcoin investment is Patient because it requires a lot, this is where a lot of people got it wrong because so many of believe that they can make it fast and that is where they lost everything. I will recommend for newbies to only hodl because it quite safer than trading.

Trading is one thing and long-term holding of Bitcoin is another, in the case of long-term holding, we have to maintain our investment for a long time and hold it consistently, and the main thing is that we will not get short-term profit from it, but we have to maintain our holding for the purpose of long-term success. Also, considering the risk aspect, investing is definitely much less risky than trading, maturely if we can invest and hold Bitcoin continuously for the next 8 to 10 years, then there will be a possibility of getting much better profits from it, which we may not expect from short-term trading, this is why investing is undoubtedly much better, easier, and less risky than trading.

Let me brief it.

Trading is good if you understand it, but some people will never understand how to trade but they will continue to lose. If you have been losing in trading, it is a good advise for you to just hold for bull market to come. You still have time to earn weekly or monthly and safe part of your money in bitcoin and make more researches but avoid shit coins. Do not let it be too late before you will understand this. There is opportunity in crypto.

But if you are making money in trading, it is good for you. Earn money and hold also.

Indeed, I can really testify that holding is way better than trading, I've had a first hand experience in this and I have absolutely no argument at all.

Before the 2020/2021 bull run, I was actively trading the spot market majorly, I buy a coin, hold it for a while and immediately the price moves up, I will sell it and buy another coin I feel will go up soon as well, I continued like this, making small small profit until the bull run came, I was caught completely off guard.. I held nothing but stables, and while I was waiting for prices to drop so I could buy, prices kept increasing, at a time while I was simply waiting and watching the market with regrets, I realized that the the capital plus all profit I made from trading can no longer afford me the number of coins I used to buy.
Like for example, before the bull run, I could buy 20k or more dogecoins, but during the bull run, all my money can't even afford me up to 1k dogecoins, this was when I realized indeed that holding is way more profitable than trading.

Investing is definitely much safer than trading because we will not have to face extreme short term volatility. We also do not have to stress about sitting in front of a screen for hours monitoring and analyzing the market.

However, I do not believe that someone can succeed in long term investing with just a little knowledge. How can you be patient and maintain your faith if you do not have a thorough understanding of Bitcoin and the market?

In my opinion, investing also requires solid knowledge, but that knowledge is not as complicated as trading.

I'll advise anyone looking towards bitcoin for a quick profit to just look elsewhere, because there's absolutely nothing for him there. Indeed, Bitcoin investment is very profitable, but that's only when you follow the rules, and one of the most important rules is long term perspective. If you don't observe this rule, then all your efforts would be wasted completely. Bitcoin is a long term asset and when you fail as an investor to have this mindset, it becomes easy for you to make some serious mistakes.

You can get a limited amount of profit from trading but you cannot always expect to make a profit. Suppose you have bought Bitcoin and your main goal is to sell it after getting a small profit. You may have sold it at a small profit. What do you do after that? You have to wait for the price to decrease again or buy it again at the price that is currently in the market. The price of Bitcoin is unstable and can also go towards a long term price decline and can create mental instability for you. There may even be a situation where you sell at a loss which we call panic selling.

Long term Bitcoin accumulation strategy is a kind of prudence and for investors who can maintain discipline and be regular, the capital will be safe compared to trading. If you compare it to risky things trading is like a kind of gambling and the risk of loss is high due to the tendency to use leverage.

Not just money  a lot of things are required you need to know what exactly you are going into because most people don't even have a plan and and it is better holding so that they don't even go to the extent of trading it takes a lot of time for them to master that is why when you want to trade you must be ready to learn and that is one of the mistakes that most of them make and they should understand that trading have too many processes and you need to be prepared in other for you to enjoy trading and it takes time for you to just understand and start making profit that is how the whole thing works.

For those that don't want to stress to much then they can just go ahead to hold because trading will stress you it will change your mood so it has to be something that will help you, all this are good just that most times we are finding it hard to make a definite decision on which one exactly we want to do because if it holding it takes a longer period and if it trading takes a shorter period of time but comes with a lot of risk.
