Holding is better than trading

[cxtreenal]

Trading is good to those that have and understand the trading skills and strategies that wins, but for a random newbies, is far more better to hold your crypto assets at least you have the guarantee of not losing it, unlike with trading where you can actually lose everything with just one bad trading decisions, this make trading open to only those that have the skills to do so and be in profits.

Some newbies trying to trade as they see others make a profit making it difficult for them to understand that trading is not easy, they need to learn before trading which make us see many new people suffer of their losses. If those newbies realizing that holding is better, they should not try before they learn the basic and also know about analysis. They don't have risking more money in trading but they can use that money continuing their investment. While they invest, they could learning trading so they will have better knowledge of trading.

You may not want to trade short term when you are in a risky trading situation. People are used to long term investing will not use such risky strategies like trading. This is my personal experience. New traders use their entire funds without knowing about profit motive trading because they think they will get very rich very soon. You may want to quit trading due to facing risky situation but you have to accept losses to get out of that situation. Invest long term and do not risk your capital by trading for high profit.

A very big problem of this industry or the market is that a specific group of people tend to promote trading as something very amazing and a way to make great amounts of money in no time, such people are mostly crypto influencers and content creators, and they do this only to gain more views and followers which allows them to make money, while those who follow their advice and suggestions and fall for their lies and deceptions end up losing money because trading is not as easy as it is described by such people, there are two sides of a coin, and you have to know them both.

Those who are smart enough and have at least some common sense would never believe whatever they hear or see in videos or posts made by such people but they will conduct more research and eventually understand that trading has equal amount of risks as it has rewards for people, and they move forward safely, but those who are too naive and has no common knowledge will end up getting into action right away and then lose all their money, and after that, instead of blaming those who misguided them, they start blaming the market and cryptocurrencies for their own mistakes.

The idea of short-term money gains attracts investors towards risky investments. However, long-term investments increase in value over time. Bitcoin is mainly a long-term investment, so there is more uncertainty in trading compared to this because it is risky to make decisions as the market changes. And there are many new traders who invest large amounts of money at first. It is difficult to handle losses if they only expect profits without understanding the risk system. Many people have survived in trading for a long time, but their success came from making realistic decisions. And experienced traders make decisions based on their own risk management and they give more importance to how to minimize their losses than to make profits. In addition, even if they lose, they control themselves by accepting the loss. The possibility of financial losses in long-term investments is relatively low, but trading will be reasonable only when someone can make reasonable decisions based on skills and planning.

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.

Do not just talk about newbie, because its not only them, many experienced investor are also gambling in the market. Most people who claim to be experienced traders are actually just gambling as well. They also lack clear strategies, fail to adhere to plans and often let emotion take over.

That is why most trader in the market lose money, only a few can make a profit.

Trading is never easy, whether you are a beginner or an experienced.

One thing about trading that makes it very difficult is that you can't have only knowledge on technical and fundamental analysis and be successful, you need a clear working trading strategy, and patient to be successful.

Furthermore, you can't just be taking random trades and be expecting to be successful at it, because more trades doesn't mean more money, instead it exposes you the more to losses, that is why taking only a higher quality trading set up is more important than taking more trades that may likely causes more losses.
And finally, if you don't know how to manage your risk,  their is no way you can be successful in trading because that's what keeps you in the market for long.

The more risk you can tolerate in trading, the more you can achieve. Suppose you have bought a coin by practicing the market, you should initially adopt the strategy of buying small amounts. Gradually, keep buying regularly with the market situation. You will continue to buy continuously for a period of time. This means that you will gradually enter the market and increase the portfolio and withdraw at your convenient level. In short term trading for high profits, there is a fear of losing money and there may be a panic selling attitude.

To gain profit from trading strategically, you have to be disciplined and patiently analyze the market. Compared to the impossible idea of ​​getting high profits in a short time, I apply my capital slowly and try to understand the price situation with patience. Sometimes in the long term, I keep cash flow and adopt a risk-tolerant policy as a preparation for the market to fall.

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.

Many people embarked on trading journey hoping to earn quick money probably because they had seen other traders making it big through trading after posting their profits on social media (though majority are fake), however some tom, dick and harry think they can do same and earn big profits by embarking on trading unfortunately ended up getting liquidated thus losing their hard earn money, learning how to trade takes a lot of period and toacquire trading skill and knowledge is not easy for newbies who are not ready for the task ahead, however as stated the best bet for newbies is to make research and invest in a potential crypto and hodl while waiting for the next bull run and cash out of course Patience is needed to be profitable in the long run.

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

There is a proverb, "There is a better way for everything, just find it". So both trading and holding have some good aspects.
Here, perspective is the main thing. If someone wants to make money, then he should understand profit, opportunity, or strategy based income and trade, but if someone wants to earn through safe investment, then he should continue to invest for the long term. Because it is better to earn through long term investment by waiting or holding than by fearing to lose by trading.

Of course, holding is much more profitable and much safer than trading, in the case of holding you will get an assurance that if you hold a potential coin for a long time, then you will definitely get a good amount of profit from it, but in the case of trading, the better you can analyze and the more you can use your strategy here, based on that, you can make a profit, but you will not always have a profit, sometimes you will make a profit and sometimes you will lose and on average when you do the calculation, you will see that you could not generate a very good amount of profit from there, very few traders can profit from regular trading. So I always take holding very seriously from trading and I focus the most on holding rather than trading.

[AYOBA]

Yeah holding is always better than trading, the high risk that is involved in trading is too much and this is one of the reasons why holding bitcoin for a very long time is actually better than trading, when you are holding for a very long time the chances of you losing your money is very small, but the chances of you gaining profit is actually very high compared to trading. I have seen people who have complained about losing their money when they decided to trade bitcoin but I have not really seen someone who complained about losing his or her money because he decided to hold for a very long time, Bitcoin investment is one of the best investment and if you want to get very good profit from it don’t trade it accumulate and hold for long term.

Seriously but that’s is what most people don’t understand about the trading they think trading is a place where they get quick money, that’s why they don’t look at the risks that is involved if not some of the beginners a person that just new to crypto instead to be calm and seek for knowledge to know about the cryptocurrencies; but since the money is what in their minds that’s why they just stick to trading direct what a wrong decision.

When someone is able to accumulate a Bitcoin and hold it for a long periods of time is the best, because they will even have peace of mind unlike the trading that their BP will be rise as as they all their is on risks and that’s why I will never advise anyone to introduce themselves into trading.

[RockBell]

Especially those that have the knowledge of crypto trading and also have the money to buy crypto to trade, because they will be ready to trade their coins to see what will be the outcome of the result. I guess some newbies will appreciate you if you give them that kind of advise to buy crypto and hodl before they can trade, because they will see profits that will make them to like crypto trading and also increase their capital in the future.

One thing that is important in trading is knowledge, and also how to be technical about the whole thing, so before you start, you need to be prepared, because the way things are going when you trade you will lose a lot of money for you to become an expert and that is why you will need to start with like demo account so that you will be able to see and practice what you have learn without losing much money and if they can start from holding then later trade then it will help them a lot.

Some of us did not learn from hodling crypto than to start trading whenever we have the opportunity to enter the the market, but since we discover that you can make a reasonable profit from hodling crypto before you trade, I always advise newbies around me to start with hodling crypto before they can trade to achieve what they want.

And holding crypto does not have any specialty the only thing that you will need to do is for us to learn the basics to buy and hold is just to buy and know how to sell there is nothing special to do when it comes to buying and holding compare to when it comes to trading were there is a lot of thing to learn and from how things are going, you can not practice if you can not learn because you will meet a lot of challenges.

You may want to quit trading due to facing risky situation but you have to accept losses to get out of that situation. Invest long term and do not risk your capital by trading for high profit.

A person like also don’t deal with short term investments but honestly deals with long term investments well most people really find them self to hard to even tell the difference between the both of them…well would have plan that my own experience was like something like this which was risk that stage that time…and to trading is a thing of state it process happens to most newbie…and that mind of most newbie having to work out there deal with a sum of huge money on there first day trade..

[HelliumZ]

I agree with u . Holding can work well but it work  best for those who have another source of income. I know many people who rely only on trading and for them holding is challenging because it takes time and also if we see the current market condition majority of coins are down 50 to 60 percent or more . But that is how financial market works . So for them exit on a right time is best plus wait for a perfect entry.
 
And for those who have another source of income the best option is DCA in bitcoin every month or when they see a buying opportunity till next Bull run.

There is 100% logic to this, especially no matter what you say, for someone who has no other source of income, trading or holding will not be of any benefit. He will face a danger when he will have no other option but to sell his holdings.
Someone who has no other source of income will always have a need, and even their need will come at a time when they have no other option but to sell their Bitcoin holdings. However, long-term holding is definitely suitable for those who can manage their money in other ways than trading or investing to support their family and themselves.

[Cgrexp]

Holding is better than trading if you are a bad trader, as much as trading is better than holding if you make it a point to trade and end up with secured profits. There's always pros and cons either way.

However, if you are doing good in both and are making consistent profits from them, then what's the purpose of comparing? One should trade and hold as well, that would bring quick and bigger profits.

But if you find yourself hard to succeed in both, then never force yourself to trade or hold. Or make it work first by developing your knowledge and reliable skills, and eventually work on your attitudes so that you won't be trading or holding like a compulsive gambler.

I think it is better to make a long-term investment decision than trading. For beginners, investing is less risky than trading. However, if someone knows about the market situation, such as how the market price fluctuates, and also wants to trade with realistic risk management in mind. Then he can trade if he wants. And if he wants, he can also invest. Because it is each individual's decision. However, whatever the decision is, it should be thought that it does not have a negative impact on real life. There will be more or less risk in investing, but investors can minimize that loss through their own financial management and risk management. So everyone can do what they feel more capable of adapting to. That can be trading or long-term investment. So it is necessary to decide with a cold mind whether they have all the capacity to accept the possible loss.

Yes, this is something many people do not understand. Trading is not an administrative job where we can easily succeed simply by applying the knowledge we have learned and the experience we have gained. Besides knowledge, skill, risk management and experience, sometimes a little luck and the ability to control emotions are also needed. Not everyone has or is capable of those thing.

Trading is not for the majority of people, not just beginner.

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.

No matter anything you want to do, the most important thing is to have the knowledge of that particular thing so that you will not lose at the end, most of newbies don't have any patience just because they see others making some much money from trading that is why they also get engaged, not knowing that there is a lot of sacrifice that was made by those traders before they can continue getting profit. Knowledge is the key because it takes you beyond your imagination that is why it is very important for us to seek knowledge and everything we want to do. Most of the people actually go for trading because there see others making it, but sometimes i don't usually blame them because they don't know anything about holding.

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.

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.
