Holding is better than trading

[ChocolateBitcoinK]

There is no doubt in what you said kos normally holding beats trading, but not everyone has the spirit of patience, there are some people that can't withstand pressure for that long, especially any time the market is fluctuating, which makes their heart to beat very fast. And also, not everyone its ready to undergo or its able to meet the requirements for them to be able to hold. So for you, you might think holding its for everyone but to some, its easier to say than done.

Holding is especially difficult when the market enters a prolonged correction during bear markets. Many are willing to sell at a loss, just to escape the stress and accept the losses. But if someone sells, it's another opportunity for stronger investors to buy back at a lower price and make even greater profits in a bear market, that's how it works, some sell, some buy. The stronger players will make money, the weaker ones will lose, that's how the market works.

Use risk tolerant funds to maintain stability in investing in bear markets. The main reason for most losses is volatility and panic selling when the market is in a correction period. Always accumulate Bitcoin, no matter the market temperature. A regular accumulation strategy is important to build a satisfactory Bitcoin portfolio because if you create a decision making mentality with price fluctuations, it is likely to lead to trading. Short term trading is risky.

To invest for the long term, we must first develop a long-term mindset. We need to mentally prepare ourselves to hold Bitcoin and maintain our investment for the long term even in the midst of market volatility. And the most effective strategy for this is the only DCA strategy, it is the most effective strategy in the long term, only in the long term. The best strategy to accumulate Bitcoin continuously without worrying about unnecessary market volatility, those who understand the importance of this strategy and can invest through this strategy, will definitely benefit a lot from it.

Definitely true, but some people will deny that facts, they will have give their own reasons to back up their own decisions, but all you have said are okay by me, because you are truly stating the fact. People that don't have patience and discipline can't even do either because the market doesn't really carr if one is busy or not, as far as one is doing all that is required of them, by adhering to rules. So even though one choice trade or hodl, they have to cultivate that mindset that discipline, patience, determination and consistency are the essential keys that the market really wants.

Of course, many people would deny this. But the reality is that people who choose to trade, especially day trading or futures trading, simply want to make quick money, nothing more

Clearly, trading requires a significant amount of time, effort, knowledge, experience, market analysis skills, and risk management...Meanwhile, long term investing is much simpler and does not require dealing with the complex factors that trading demand.

Anyone who says that trading requires less patience, less discipline, and little preparation is simply avoiding reality and deceiving themselves.

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.

I don’t think one approach is always better than the other. It depends on your strategy and, more importantly, on how long you’re able to hold without needing the money.

Personally, I split my portfolio into two parts.

The first part is Bitcoin that I don’t plan to touch for many years. That’s my long-term savings, hopefully something that will still be there when I retire.

The second part is a speculative portfolio. I don’t day trade, but I usually make one or two trades per quarter. I keep a spreadsheet with every trade, including the reason for entering and exiting, so I can review later whether my decisions actually added value.

There is another side to holding that people don’t mention very often. Yes, holding is simple, but sometimes the market gives you an obvious opportunity to take some profits. If you never sell, you may watch your portfolio double, then fall back 40–50%, and after a year realize that, despite all the excitement, your capital didn’t actually grow during that period.

For me, the balance between long-term holding and selective profit-taking works better than choosing only one strategy.

That's true because it depends on us who initiates it so we ourselves determine the direction we should take when we want to implement our strategy. The goal is simply to hold what we already have for the duration of our previous approach. This approach is certainly good but it shouldn't be long-term. There are many things we need to do so a short decision ensures we don't miss opportunities that need to be acted on immediately.

This method also exists in our personal lives as we manage the growth of our portfolios. As you mentioned the primary goal isn't to save, but rather to realize that what you're doing is part of your savings for the future. You also need to understand why you never touch the Bitcoin you've accumulated arguing that your needs are met by other sources of income. This means you have more than one source of income making it impossible to build your portfolio without touching what you've accumulated. This is what I understand. If you don't have other sources of income you'll undoubtedly sell a small amount of the accumulated funds to cover your expenses.

The only reason many investors fail is because they make panicked decisions due to their lack of sufficient knowledge about the market. We need stability in the market, and we need to have a long-term mindset to stay consistent with our long-term goals. Chasing short-term market fluctuations increases the risk of making emotional decisions, and this leads us to more losses, so we need to focus on consistency instead, which is the most feasible investment strategy.

Very simple truthful and lovely sentence "holding is better than trading". There is no point to compare holding and trading because the difference is clear. As simple as what ever holding Bitcoin is actually beginners friendly but trading is not and trading gives people who are not into Bitcoin and those are completely afraid of Bitcoin the skepticism that has led to their misconception. They fear losing their resources not taking into consideration that Bitcoin is a long-term investment also.

Investors with that kind of mentality will always end up not making anything good as profit because they do not have the mindset of a real investor which is to invest in long term and not to chase quick profit like ponzi scheme investors do. After gaining knowledge as an investor the next plan is to do a personal research on the type of investment you should dive into if you can afford to invest for long term then stay away from quick profit but if you need fast money then shift your mindset to trading.

Yes the difference is clear. Me I will not even hold any person against it if they want to go and be trading, but my advise to them is to trade with caution. They should only use what they can afforded to loose when trading.  If I will also want to advice any person on the one to go for, then it will be for them to ongoingly invest. because bitcoin is better if it is done for long time. Price swing can be very crazy and if person don't have mind he can easily get frustrated.That is why person is not supposed to even be timing price, they just just DCa!

[terrific]

They fear losing their resources not taking into consideration that Bitcoin is a long-term investment also.

And they think that there's a good pair for them to choose for them to become profitable.
That's a huge mistake that they're looking if they're for the long term investing by holding bitcoin.
It's best for them to forget that at the moment they already own it. Forget the pairs.
Because the main goal is to hold bitcoin while the price is still low before it soars high and, before everyone keeps on saying that it's too expensive to buy although it's happening already.

Only those focused on making big profits in a relatively short time will choose to trade, without paying much attention to Bitcoin development and its future potential. Their main focus is profit and more profit. However, if we look deeper, holding with a long term focus is better, especially given Bitcoin’s current situation, where its price is highly volatile, rising and falling rapidly. In this situation, many traders are bound to suffer losses. In addition, choosing a holding strategy will give you peace of mind, help you avoid making hasty decisions, and allow you to focus solely on increasing your holdings.

With this strategy only diamond hands are the one who are eligible to win a large profit. Apparently right now you can do two options when in doing trading could be a long term which took weeks or years or even another cycle for the bitcoin or else you will make a small scalping into time other time frames this could give a small amount gain but this requires a prior understanding with the analysis what are the potential price movement, yet its just a speculation or prediction not until confirmed base on market structure.

Let me brief it.

Well both options have some pros and cons whether it is holding or trading. Lets discuss holding first. So holding is better and less risky and it gives guaranteed results but if the holding asset is bitcoin and the person has another stable source of income as well . With that type of strategy plus for better returns DCA . So DCA plus holding of bitcoin it becomes cherry on the top. But if a person does not have any other source of income then if he has bitcoin he will sell it when the market dumps. On the other hand trading is also profitable but it needs a lot of research and knowledge also a proper mindset because daily trading is risky and if the person has lack of discipline also does not have a proper knowledge about the market then he needs to stay away from the trading. If the person has a proper knowledge and his psychology is good then trading is the best way to earn a filthy money .

Holding is less risky than trading and the good approach to have better results from holding is when we have the long term mindset most especially when it comes to bitcoin. But when we hold for short term period then we will only witness the short term gains which won’t be that much but with the long term mindset then we will see good returns.
Trading isn’t a bad idea too but it just that the risk in it is so high and the outcome of it still depends on how knowledgeable one have becomes not like holding when with little knowledge we can make good returns. But all this the outcome are not guaranteed at all so approach with risk management.

Exactly. Everybody cannot be a trader likewise everybody cannot be an investor. Know where you belong and do it very well. You've tried investing, it didn't favour you. Try trading it will favour you. Some can do both. Wonderful. Find what can accommodate you and leave the rest. All this trying to follow what people are doing is what is making people do things they are not supposed to do.

This is more reasons why a lot of people are running to holding because of the conditions that is attached to early profit makers and the truth is just that nothing good comes easy so there are still people that still trade and make money from it just that you have to be committed and you have to be ready to learn because that is one of the ways that you can master the skill of becoming a professional trader because you will learn more because that is just the way it was supposed to be because consistency is the key when it comes to trading.

And people are always seen trading as if it is hard but it is not that difficult the only thing is that we need to be very careful and remover a lot of things before we start trading because when you are not mentally and emotionally available then I will prefer all that are soughted out first before taking any step forward.

I am not fully agree with your opinion about possibility we can make profit for long term investment in bitcoin, you need hard patience waiting for bitcoin raise up to higher price and require year by year exactly if investment during bitcoin reach highest price. For me trading most worth it accumulate much profitable than long term holding because you can't predicting yet how many years ago must waiting for bitcoin will raise higher price.

Better take profit as much as possibility around 2 until 5% in short moment probably for daily day or weekly than you must waiting for several years later, if comparison with daily day profitable earn trough trading and keep accumulate months by month I believe without one years you can earn up to 100% until 300% profit than have to be long term holder but not guarantee with how many years require waiting for.

And I will also it is agree with your opinion that we can't predicting that how many time we need to wait or Hold for recovery, and here I think definitely most of the people would have the same answer minimum 4 year or three year like if we invest right now we have to target the Bitcoin next halving and after halving definitely Bitcoin will make its new all time price  we saw the same thing in the previous market.

And about the short term trading its lots of knowledge like the technical analysis and the fundamental analysis and also risk management etc if you don't have all these skills then there is a high probability to lose in short term trading. But in term of long term trading at least if you can hold up for 4 years then it is granted that you will have profit, at least you will not face loss. Because the demand of Bitcoin will gradually increase but the supply is very low.

hello you are right the technical and fundamentals analysis understanding is a part of trading if one time you understand technical and fundamentals resurch than you are a good trader.

That's right, for some persons, to cultivate the habit of using risk tolerant is not that easy for them because them might want everything to go as smooth as they might be expecting it and these kind of people have little or no knowledge about how the market price work and even if one give them the best strategy on what to do, they will just do what their emotions push them to do without properly making any investigations  about it, that is why most people are confused on what to do, either to hodl or trade and this makes them to later regret about their decision.

We need to know that short term trading is risky because most of the losses are caused by wrong decisions in the pursuit of profit. As you said, I agree with you about fear due to lack of knowledge. Make decisions considering the fact that the market will always be volatile. The coin you buy will be volatile but the long term investment strategy you take should be planned.
One of the reasons why many investors fail in their investment journey is panic selling decisions and short term trading in the pursuit of high profits. Long term Bitcoin investment decisions are the best and short term trading is risky.
