Holding is better than trading

[icebar]

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.

When it comes to trading Bitcoin, it's way  better to hold than to start trading, especially for a newbie trader, because the majority of traders lose money; only a few are profitable over a period of time. Even you will have more peace of mind if you choose to hold and allow Bitcoin for some years to do its thing while stomaching its volatility that you will  witness along the line and when the market is seriously bleeding. One good thing that you will benefit from if you choose to hold is that you will not lose that money if you hold tight and are not forced to sell, whereas if you're trading, once you get liquidated, that whole money is gone forever, except if you fund another account and start trading, which there's still no guarantee you will recover it back.

For beginners, investing in small amounts over a long period is a safer and more comfortable method than trading. It is true that most traders face losses because trading requires high skills, experience and risk management to make a profit. If any of these are weak, then jumping into trading is risky. Investing in small amounts is more beneficial for beginners, but long-term investment does not mean that an investor is completely risk-free. Even long-term investments have the possibility of losses if an investor does not prepare the necessary management. If they want to trade, it is risky to start without learning or gaining any knowledge. Therefore, holding is better than trading, but it is better not to assure that it is completely risk-free.

Even if you possess all the necessary qualities such as high skill, experience, and risk management. There is no guarantee that you will make a profit from trading.
Trading is not a job where you just follow and execute exactly what you have learned to make a profit. Because the market is extremely volatile and does not follow any rules or logic.

In terms of long term investment, although not absolutely safe, it is many times safer than trading. If you have a good financial plan, you are almost certain not to lose money when holding longterm

Yes, it is true that high-skill, experience and risk management do not guarantee a trader profit, but it is on their basis that a trader survives and minimizes his losses. In trading, no one is guaranteed to win based on his own analysis, but those who survive have been able to survive by minimizing their losses based on their own planning and management. It is true that long-term investment is safe because here you do not have to pay attention to or analyze market fluctuations and at the same time the possibility of large financial losses is low. However, if an investor does not have financial management, risk capacity, emergency fund in long-term investment, then there is a possibility of loss. In both investment and trading, one should invest with extra money, that is, with the money that one has the ability to lose. When someone fulfills everything in his life normally and invests from the extra money, then even if he loses financially, it does not have a negative impact on his life.

The rate at which people are losing money from trading is high. I would say that trading is not reliably profitable, because what is the point if over 80% of traders end up losing?As for me, I do not see that as a good way of making money. Even those who are experienced in trading and have some level of knowledge some of them are just lucky when they make profits.So, let us understand that profit is not guaranteed in trading, especially in short-term trading, such as daily or few days trading. Some people say that if someone has good knowledge, they can make profits from trading. But my point is that before a person becomes knowledgeable, they will surely pass through stages where they lose money.

Some people believe they will not incur losses, but that is unrealistic. The money someone plans to use to gain experience in trading if invested elsewherecould grow into something meaningful in the future. The amount of money many people lose in trading before they start making even small profits could have been used for something greater.The fact is, not everyone will become an investor, no matter how profitable it may seem in the future, because some people need steady and immediate income.

We've been over discussions like this, be it holding or trading whichever you want to get involved in the most important thing is being disciplined and making sure you follow the rule of risk management. Saying that holding is better than Trading Isn't really going to be something that everyone is going to agree with because some people might make money from holding and others can make money from trading, at the end of the day it boils down to interest and patience. Not everyone is patient enough to hold that's the reason why they get into trading instead. It is all about doing what works best for you, what works for you might not work for someone else

If we are talking about a long-term investment, it is necessary to clearly determine which coin you are going to hold for a long time. And here it should be noted that the majority in this case is talking about bitcoin, in more rare cases about ETH and some other TOP altcoins. That is, you should not hold any new coins, as their price usually turns to zero.

[nara1892]

Yes, the point is, trading can be done on a regular basis if you understand it. Although knowledge can be learned, some people struggle to absorb it. Many factors hinder this, and they're also simply too lazy to learn. We must admit that trading is very difficult to learn, so it can be concluded that those with strong intentions and who never give up are a minority.
So, my advice is to try learning it first. If you get frustrated with losses, it's better to switch to spot trading, only investing money consistently. I also do this once a month.

As you have suggested to avoid bad coins, yes we should stay away from those shitcoins to reduce the amount of losses. Trading is not good for everyone or I would say short term trading will not be profitable for most investors. Most traders do not have the courage to buy in a bull market but this method is good for making profits in the short term. Keep the necessary funds to deal with the risk and buy in trading with such an amount of funds that are within the scope of the backup fund.

Profiting from trading may be easy for you in some cases but for most traders it will be difficult and cause losses or create a situation like gambling. In trading, you have to stop at a point of making profits and re-prepare but always be in a risky state.

To stay mentally better position sustain a long term Bitcoin investment strategy. Do the DCA method weekly to increase Bitcoin holdings over time.

[Out of mind]

Those who understand the market well and know how to analyze it, have knowledge, experience and have acquired good skills in trading do not face losses. Although most people say that trading is a risky system, people lose their money here if they do not understand the trade properly. If you can make money in trading, you can get good profits in a short time, but you have to have skills in it, and it is not possible. Not everyone can make money from trading, so they should focus on investing. There are many people who have gained enough experience but face losses in trading, which is basically their misfortune. That is why I think it is better to invest for a long time than to take risks in trading, the possibility of loss is very low here.

I totally disagree with your statement which I bold. Being experienced in trading, having the right knowledge of trading, understanding the market sentiment and all that doesn’t mean a trader has made a freedom from the market or such trader isn’t bound to face loss.
 Losses are part of the journey and no matter how one is experienced in trading or how knowledgeable one becomes with trading such trader is bound to face loss and losses are just inevitable. Our knowledge and experience only gives us higher chances of making profitable decisions but losses can’t just go away, it can only be reduced by our knowledge but not gone.

Yep trading is not for everyone but newbies who don't understand what crypto is, they feel so confused in the start because they will ask someone who has been trading, but they will never follow their advises, because they want to copy trade or follow someone's signals by paying some fee. After doing all that the chances are very low that they will be talking about investment or trading anymore especially if they are making a good salary from their job.

I said good for a reason I think you can understand.

Anyway, holding would be their last card to play only if they consider it a card but mostly will put small amount for long term because they are giving it a chance while not knowing that BTC is giving them a chance haha.

The question is how many traders are actually making profit more than loses, if you tell yourself the truth you will agree that they are very few which means that majority of traders are losing big time. I tell friends who wants to go into trading based on what they hear from influencers on social media that makes it seam like it is easy to get rich through it that trading is a very risky Job where you can lose all your funds very fast. These influencers will share stories of the very successful traders that are doing very well while hiding the reality that majority are just wasting their time and money in trading.

You cannot go wrong if you are investing in Bitcoin, if you have discretionary funds to buy and you can be focused to hold for many years you will be in profit because Bitcoin has potentials to reach ATH on the long term. Holding shitcoins is gambling so DYOR before gambling your funds on them.

The market is unpredictable. It does not operate according to any pattern or rule. It is constantly changing because each period has a different context. Meanwhile, what we gain through learning is merely a synthesis of past event, and there is no guarantee that the past will repeat itself precisely down to the detail.

Predicting the market is not like a 9-to-5 office job, where we simply apply what we have learned and achieve the desired result.

Knowledge, skill, and experience only help us make better predictions about the market, they do not guarantee anything.

I even wonder how people will come up with such mindset that with experience and good skills of trading a trader do not face losses, that can not be true, no matter how good a trader can be losses are inevitable, the market is unpredictable and no one can keep analyzing like correctly, having the knowledge, experience and skills is perfectly cool but exaggerating not lossing because of your level of knowledge and skills is bad, the truth is in most cases traders don't share their lost stories but when they win it will be all over the place like trading is some sorts of easy thing, a pity for those who will be deceived. Anyone getting involved should be fully aware of the potential risks.

[MinMan]

Never understood why anyone would care about what others are doing, and this is one of those cases. I do not care if someone is holding or trading. If we are talking about theory, you do not have enough data to back this up because "trading" depends on the person.

You could make a lot more than holding, or you could lose everything you have while trading, you never know what's going to happen and you should not be judging others without knowing what kind of trading that they are doing. This is why we should only care about what we are dealing with and if we are doing a good job then do exactly that, if you are doing better with holding then keep holding and buying more, if you are doing better with trading, then keep on trading.

[Stable090]

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 don’t understand trading, and you want to keep on trying, you just going to keep on losing, so it’s better you take your time to learn how to trade, and if you are finding it difficult to learn about it, then it’s better you stop trading, you can decide to invest in bitcoin, and you going to be making money also, bitcoin investment isn’t as stressful and trading, and doesn’t require much attention as trading, that will be easier for people more than trading. If trading doesn’t work for you, then just try something different, don’t force yourself to trade.

What does that person do in trading, as if he does not know anything about it, if he wants to learn by wasting his money, then everyone will do it, which will spread misinformation in a society. Anyone who is interested in trading and wants to work in it, for that he will have to learn and know about how the price changes in the market. I am surprised that someone who does not even know about trading is putting himself in such a big coin and if he does not know, then Bitcoin will eat him and he will get disappointed and either put more money or go into depression and think of doing something else, which is a mental disorder. For this, they have to be patient and absorb the market in every way because tomorrow there may be profit and they have to have the courage to lose. Everyone will agree to invest, but only some will succeed with their own efforts, so it is better to spend some time learning than to lose a lot.

[Makus]

Remember that cryptocurrency is wide and doesn't just have one aspect of it so it's not really accurate to say that one is better than the other because if you actually look at it some people benefit from trading more than holding and others profit from holding more, it is all about doing what works best for you. Holding is usually for people that are planning to do a long term investment, not everyone has the time to always check the charts and monitor the Market, for me I find it really exhausting that's why I decided to stick with holding.

[Yablee0]

Dude you are sounding more like a trader, but nevertheless if it's cool by you then it's fine. We are all running a personal race just as you earlier said and their is no point talking less on someone all because they made their choices in life. However, to me l am more in a long term investment plan because that's where i have choose to be.

Furthermore, life is a thing of risk , if you aren't ready to take the potential risk involved then forget it because you aren't ready. Sometimes you can be lucky enough to hit a life changing opportunity on a single trading experience and also reverse can be the case, likewise on a long-term mindset, but what really matters is if we can invest what we can let go just in case things didn't work as planned, I think this is more better in my opinion.

[Maiconbtc973]

Whether holding or trading, you can still lose your money on both. Take for instance, there was a guy that committed suicide last year all because he lost about some millions in his Bitcoin account when it crashed. He committed suicide in his Lamborghini. Is it not because he held his crypto and not trade it as a daily market process. Trading also can be so bad that you can lose everything in one day. As an investor, you know what you want and how to go about it. We can trade and lose everything and we can hold and lose everything too. So we just pray for a better and successful market. No one is the best.
