Holding is better than trading

[Shinpako09]

Trading is for professionals, but holding, especially Bitcoin holdings, can be done even by a newbie who has nothing but just Capital to buy and hold.

But Trading is something that not everyone can do effectively without losing their money along the way before they can eventually learn how to handle their trading risks.

Although trading to an expert is a quick way to make some money, but not on a reliable extent unless for those professional trader.

Agreed, just do DCA in a bear market and sell during a bull run, but it should be either Bitcoin or top alts only so they can lower the risk. You don't need to be good at technical analysis in order to do DCA. As long as you have the money, you can do it.

Day trading or leverage trading, is not for everyone, but DCA is, whether you are an expert or a newbie. You just need to prepare yourself to wait for a few years and, of course, not get scared when the price dips even more.

Just DCA, as long as it's bitcoin or top alts. You don't need to worry so much that your investment will go down the drain because most likely, they will recover once the bull run starts.

DCA is the most appropriate for your mental well-being as a newbie, and DCA offers you the opportunities to buy at discounted prices most of the time because that is when the most profits can be earned along the way.

Bitcoin investors that focus on DCA can go a long way waiting for the price to increase before they consider to take profits, as witas taking buying decisions when their spot an opportunity to buy also, this are the two main aspects of advantage that come with DCA.

But in trading, you are only up against your risk and how you can manage it effectively.

DCA strategy is not only suitable for beginners as it's a very investor friendly strategy for both old and new investors. This is a strategy of choice when you intend to hold for a long time and allows a person to buy at different prices. As long as a person is investing within his Discretionary income, it gives such person the flexibility to HODL for a longer term until many years time or until the bull season before he can consider selling. Trading is riskier even though both strategies does not promise anyone certainty of profit but holding increases your chances of making the profit you desire. However, it is important to remind oneself that the longer you HODL the better chances of making profit you will have.

DCA strategy is a very good strategy for every person, especially for those people whose income is daily or low income. This type of person is more effective for one and a half because such a person cannot save money and although such a person can save money, they cannot invest a lot of money through lump sum method. The best solution for such a person is to continue buying continuously through DCA method. DCA method gives a person all those benefits which are not available in any other investment method.

A rich person can save a lot of money in a short time and they can invest through lump sum investment method and they can continue buying using DIP method

A key issue to consider is that holding only makes sense when the time horizon is realistic. And risk taking is acceptable. Bitcoin has survived a number of deep crashes. But it isn't just a matter of if. It's also when and how much, will the next come. The problem of trading is that fees and multiple decision making can cause profits to be eroded over time. Trying to time your every move and leveraging can be more risky than buying slowly and not leveraging if you don't have a tried and tested strategy. However, cash used to pay bills should not be held in a fluctuating investment.

This can only be a great boost to your financial management, as accumulation Bitcoin as a separate investment from your daily or weekly income will easily allow you to build up a substantial Bitcoin holding. Saving money is difficult for a low-income person because the demand is higher than the income. Or if that person has available funds they may be spent because there are additional expenses beyond basic needs.

If you understand the importance of accumulation Bitcoin setting aside a certain amount of funds each week may not be a problem for you. Take a proactive approach because if you are not able to earn money by working in the present, you will not be able to reach a financially sound position in the present and future.

Rich people can use a large amount of capital in investments but it is not guaranteed that they will benefit. A poor person will have a much higher chance of getting a return if he continues to make a long term effort and accumulate Bitcoin regularly even if it is small.

Trading bitcoin is very boring, expecting a 3x increase takes quite a long time, the alternative I do to earn income is to hold old coins that are idle, because when the market is bullish they move more quickly and aggressively, the holding period is also not long and the longest is only 6 months.

To hold on, you must make a plan that is long-term, the longer the period, the more likely it is to make a profit, and also take risk management. Create a mindset in investing that does not sell when the market falls and keep the mentality right to hold on to it patiently. No one can tell when you will face losses in the market, so you must have a risk management system and control yourself. Moreover, if you take risks in trading and enter a bad position in the market, then you will definitely face losses. If you enter without using a good strategy during trading, then you will definitely lose, so you should manage every step well using little leverage. There are risks in both trading and investing, so it is most important to control yourself and implement long-term plans.

There are risks in both trading and investing, but trading has a higher risk. Trading systematically makes a person greedy, so they wait for the price of the currency they buy to increase and constantly check the price to see when it will go up and it is mentally disruptive. If you see a slight increase compared to the price you bought, you have to sell and wait to buy again. In trading strategies, you will lose time and capital. There is a possibility of panic selling when the market falls too much, traders lose more than the potential profit.

Long term Bitcoin investors have a tendency to hold more than to get quick profits. Investors practice patience and accumulate Bitcoin regularly instead of being greedy. If any of the long term investors accumulate Bitcoin through DCA method through discretionary income, they will be able to reach their investment target without any financial stress.

The subject of trading is very risky, but if it is taken realistically, then although there is risk, there can also be potential. However, this is not the case in most cases, rather most traders are mainly led to wrong decisions due to their greed and emotions and this leads them to huge losses. In the case of trading, greed and emotions are the only reason why people face destruction instead of achieving success here, but if trading was done realistically through proper research, then the chances of success here would also be very good.

It is necessary to be responsible and realistic to survive in a risky subject like trading, if there is people and emotions here, it becomes equivalent to gambling, and most of the time people gamble in the name of this trading because of their greed, which only causes losses. And that is why the main thing is that nothing should be considered as a means of quick success, just as people cannot succeed quickly through trading, similarly in the case of investment, people will never get good results quickly, rather every investment needs a lot of patience and needs to be managed properly.
And Bitcoin investment is not above this, but it requires more patience because it is a long-term investment, here you have to tolerate market volatility and maintain the investment continuously for at least 4 to 10 years without any obstacles. if these things can be managed properly, then the chances of success from Bitcoin will be good.

As a beginner in the crypto space I would not advice you to trade, this doesn't mean that it is not profitable but it is a lot riskier than holding. you need to understand that trading is all about taking advantage of the market changes within a short period of time, this is what makes it gambling to an extent but to those that are able to follow the rules it is possible for them to minimise their losses.

Holding has a lot of advantages and it is also a lot simpler, personally I prefer to hold bitcoin because I would not have to stress myself to always check the charts. They both have their risks but trading is a lot more riskier than holding. But the choice is yours to make.

[rachael9385]

you have two choices: either you learn and improve or you stop. there’s no shame in admitting something isn’t for you but at least try first to learn and find ways to improve your trading skills.

This is very important, being consistent is important but a lot of people fail to realize that failing to a certain point doesn't mean that you should still continue or be persistent, it is a wake up call to try something different. A lot of people trade but after a long period of time they don't get good results, instead of trying something different they still continue trading.

You have a point, I see no reason why a beginner should trade unless they decide that trading is what they are actually convinced to get into. Trading takes a lot of concentration and also psychological maturity and discipline, this is something that beginners don't really have

Trading is more riskier than holding and trading requires so much than holding and that why many new members to crypto community always go for holding but most of them don’t end up holding for long because they are just after quick gains but in disguise. Many of them rushes into trading just because they see free and quick gains in trading but they are misunderstanding the risk involve in trading, the new members always thought in trading we don’t need to do much and boom we hit profits not knowing that trading is where the risk are and it takes a lot to make it out successfully profitable.

Trading and holding have their own dynamics, as a crypto enthusiast I would advice you to have an experience in both but pay more attention to holding, this is because trading can be very complex, you cannot always predict the movement of the market at all times no matter how good you think your trading skills might be. It's good to diversify instead of relying one thing but also be calculative it.

I agree.  Also, hodling seems easy but the discipline to do so is very underrated.  Believe, if the discipline to hodl was so easy, you wouldn't see so many people separated from their Bitcoin with regrets, esp when branching off into shitcoins.  The discipline aspect to hodling is why hodlers are still a rare breed and typically fare well.

You have given good advice. One thing is that you do not need experience to start long term investment, but you do need experience to trade, otherwise the possibility of loss will increase.

In the beginning of long term investment, you do not have the pressure to make a profit, so you will gradually gain experience in holding Bitcoin. But trading is complex. Here a trader has the risk of using leverage in the hope of getting a quick profit and there is a possibility of making overly emotional decisions.

Understanding market movements is not easy. A trader has to be involved in the market for many years to understand these movements.

Just wanna add something here. It can take you years to figure out how market move, but that doesn't mean you will end up making a profit from trading.

Trading comes with risks beyond market volatility. Even after years of learning and gaining experience, there's no guarantee you'll turn a profit.

Understanding market is one thing, making consistent profit from it is a whole different ballgame.

So my honest advice is that everyone, newbies especially, should put more focus on the long term. That's the real way to invest. It won't guarantee you a profit either, but it's a more realistic path.

Many people think holding cryptocurrency is preferable to trading, but I think it really depends on your strategy, plan, and goals. Hodling relieves you of the anxiety that comes with constantly monitoring price changes and worrying. Additionally, holding typically allows the coin enough time to appreciate, though this isn't always the case.Another benefit of hodling is that it frees up your time to do other things instead of keeping an eye on or worrying about a trade.

Hodling allows you time and space to study the market without feeling compelled to make snap judgments. Don't invest too much borrowed money because you might have to sell when the market isn't favorable. Additionally, spread your money over a variety of assets rather than investing it all in one since you never know which will work out well for you.

[Apex_1]

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.

I'm not comfortable holding a losing position and waiting for the bull market to come, to me I just don't think that is a reliable trading strategy because its seems dangerous. Holding a losing trade can wipe out your whole account long before the bull market will even arrive, and also when you hold an asset because of your losses, you are just keeping hold of it because you don't want to admit your losses rather you are just trying to protect your ego to avoid regret of your losses because holding a failing asset just to avoid bad feelings of your losses is simply hiding from the reality.
So the best thing you should do instead is to apply a real risk management by cutting your losses in order to protect your remaining capital, and also ensure you stop trading immediately after your trading losses and walk away inorder for you to clear your emotional frustration, so to prevent revenge trading not to have further losses when trading.

Totally agree with you. Trading requires deep knowledge of strategies, risk management and a strong mindset to control emotions. Without all of this, your trading is more likely to look like gambling rather than a measured investment strategy. 

Indeed, taking advantage of short term fluctuations in trading can generate profits, but it also opens up the possibility of big losses if disciplined rules are ignored. But holding assets like Bitcoin for the long term is much simpler and even long term investing usually keeps your mind relatively calm because you don't have to constantly monitor the charts every day, so your emotions stay stable.

Both trading and investing definitely have their own risks but trading is clearly more risky, especially without good preparation. But above all, the most important thing is that you need to be able to assess your own abilities and capacity first before deciding which path you want to take.
