Holding is better than trading

[Achalugo BTC]

It is undeniable that holding Bitcoin until it yields a profit is a difficult and challenging process. However, compared to trading, holding is much easier and less stressful. If someone says they do not have the patience or time to hold, or comes up with other excuses. They probably should not choose trading either, because it requires even more time, discipline and patience.

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.

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.

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!

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.
