Holding is better than trading

[Issa56]

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.

Some people think holding bitcoin is so easy, they think it’s just to buy and hold. If you are not really prepared you going to find it difficult to be able to hold bitcoin. There are some things which you are suppose to do first if you really want to holding bitcoin, if you don’t do those things, you might end up selling your bitcoin later just to take care of something’s.  If you don’t have the right mindset, you just going to find it difficult to hold bitcoin.

If you want to hold bitcoin, it’s better you don’t buy everything at once, the strategy which I do use is DCA strategy, you can just be accumulating some amount of bitcoin within a specific period of time.

I myself still remember that I used to trade because of an invitation from a friend who was convinced that this could be profitable quickly, but after some time this was not easy because I thought it was almost the same as gambling, so I left it because I thought it was too risky even though there might be a right way to avoid the risk.

With now I am investing using the DCA strategy which is done consistently and this is not like trading because the investment I do is in a long-term way not short-term, if you want a quick profit or short-term then try to do trading only if with investment I don't recommend it anyway.

That's a good decision to make and its essential you realized that trading doesn't suit your ability of self-control or discipline, which its important you make the right choice and this shows that you really understand what invest and hold for long-term, as it will help you to guide through the journey, though it might not be easy but its more better for you and that gives you peace of mind. That is why people should do what will not take away their peace and shouldn't engage in trading or holding just because their friends do so, as its necessary for one to make research for their own good.

That's absolutely right. But we all know and the fact is, most traders suffer losses not because of poor analysis or a lack of knowledge, but because even many experienced traders are unable to fully control their emotions in the market. Emotional control is the most difficult challenge for traders especially when it comes to greed and fear.

In fact, the more experience a trader gains in the market, the stronger their mental resilience typically becomes, allowing them to better manage their own emotions. Or at the very least, they usually know when to stop when emotions begin to cloud their analysis. This is because decisions can sometimes become flawed when emotions are involved in analysis, especially in trading.

I dont think many people realize that. Thats why they always believe that with hard work and perseverance, they will achieve success in trading.
Trading is not a typical 9 to 5 job where working harder leads to success.  It is a game of probability. Predicting the market is already challenging, but controlling your emotion is the hardest part.

In trading, knowledge is only one piece of the puzzle. Risk management, discipline and emotional control are what actually determine whether you can survive and make money.

It's tough and only those who have that big nerve together with their knowledge and skills, they are the one that capable to work with short term trade, while those who are not willing to lose their hard earned money, better to buy and hold, set your target and wait for the amount to be reached, it's more safer if you believe that you invest with the project that will bring decent amount when the right time comes.

That's right, trading is not for everyone, so its hodling too, that's why one should make research before making any decision, instead of making decisions based on emotions because its good for one choose what its right and what fits their peace and in order for them to stand on their decision, they have to exercise discipline and trust the process, which they will achieve their success and also, one ought not to make decision just because other people are making profits from it, as it might not profits them the way it profits other people and this will cause them to make financial mistakes that might ruined their lives.

I am not saying that holding bitcoin is easy because there are no shortcuts to making money or becoming wealthy. Investing in bitcoin is no exception.

However, I am confident in saying that holding Bitcoin is much easier than trading. All you need is patience and a longterm vision, you do not need to constantly monitor charts, trying to predict and cope with the pressure of short term market fluctuations.

When it comes to strategy, both DCA and a lump sum investment are perfectly valid approaches. That depends on your strategy, investment plan, and risk tolerance.

The handwriting is written clearly on the wall when it comes to trading there is no way you won't put yourself under control because most times there is a lot of reasons why people want to trade and for those reasons it will be determined exactly what will happen because trading comes with a lot of responsibility, and it is not everyone that is up to the task because when you don't even have a target, then what will then be your drive as a trader?

And it is very clear that when you want to trade, you should choose between trading and holding doing what brings peace would have just been the best option that they can make use of because there is a lot of complication, emotion, greed, and other factors, so we need to be very prepared before we start what we know we cannot finish because that is how it usually happens.

Just as trading is not practical for everyone, there may be some people for whom long-term investment is not practical depending on the time and situation. Because if he does not have a reasonable income, he will not be able to continue investing regularly. At the same time, in the case of investment, one has to create an emergency fund and a backup fund. And such a fund is important for every investor which protects them from the risk of selling in unexpected situations. So if a person's financial condition is such that he is not able to meet his basic expenses, then it will certainly be very difficult for him to raise money for investment. And such people can focus on increasing their income and when they are able to increase their income, they can invest money according to their ability.

Perfectly said mate, and there is no need for them to rush and later land themselves in troubles that will ruined their lives and their plans. So, the best way they can handle these situations, its for them to prepared them by making research on the both trading and holding, getting the informations on how the two works, the benefits and the side effects or the risks involved. This can guide in choosing the right path that will give them peace instead of pressure because making decisions based on emotions or you saw it is benefitting others, it will not be of any help rather problems upon problems.

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.

If you are kind of person to watch the market every time I do recommend having a trading for a hodling so this will takes months or even year before you visited it again and also personally this is a stress free, next if you have a lot of time watching the market its good opportunity to make an extra earning with the market movement but before it happens you need to have a knowledge and how does the structure works, this time I do recommend having a trading with the paper trade or a demo trading this will make you sharp to execute your understanding in the market. There are a lot of trader who uses real money, burn and repeat. They didnt learn.

But you also will not learn much from a demo account or paper trading because they are completely different from trading with real money.
In real trading, you will face emotion like fear, greed, hope, and pressure...thing you will never find in a virtual environment.

To be honest, trading is not a good opportunity to make extra income from market volatility. In theory, that is what it is. In reality, it looks more like a place where people gamble hoping to get rich quick. And as you know, gambling usually ends the same way.

i spent a good 5 years glued to my charts, day-trading like some mindless npc trapped in a loop. having to keep fear and greed in check just to click a button every day was pure mental rot—honestly, i was sick of it. fully agree with you guys; stepping back from the short-term noise and just holding is the only way to keep your sanity and actually enjoy your life.

Proper discipline and good mindset to make sure that you are still in control when you are inside this business, many investors take their journey either dealing with trade or just by buying then holding their assets, it's always best that you have the right sets of knowledge before stepping into this industry as emotions most likely will dominates you if you don't have that sets of skills to follow.

This is the initial experience of many investors because they want to make a profit and that too in a very short period of time. Checking the price chart every now and then was annoying for me when I was looking for a profit. But perhaps common sense started to disappear in the greed for profit, but I was already aware that short term trading was harmful and risky. Until I realized this, I panicked and lost money in trading.

Long term Bitcoin investment is a peace of mind because you do not need to take any mental pain of making quick decisions during periods of price increase or decrease in the market. Accumulate Bitcoin through discretionary income because you need peace of mind and a strategy to stay financially stress free. Bitcoin portfolio will go up and the price will likely increase in the future.

Trading can be very stressful, as someone that has been into it before I would say that it is not easy but that doesn't mean that holding is easy, there's nothing easy when you are on the path to financial freedom. Holding is far better especially when you are running a long term investment in Bitcoin, you know that even if there's a decline in the market you are always going to recover what you have lost and even make profit. Every movement comes with an opportunity, when there's a dip you can buy more and keep on accumulating.

Minimal stress, or the absence of it, applies only to long-term BTC holdings. However, this is not the case with altcoins, given that throughout the history of the crypto industry, there have been countless examples of once-promising altcoins that have lost value over the long term with no chance of recovery.

Yes that was my point when I was referring to holding, I was specifically talking about Bitcoin because we already know that it is less volatile compared to altcoins. For those that have been investing in the crypto market for a while it is common knowledge that altcoins are basically for Short term investments and even though you consider holding any of these coins for a short term you must also be selective about them and also do proper research before making your decisions which makes it more stressful than investing in Bitcoin.

You are absolutely right, discipline and right mindset is really one of the essential keys one needs to make better decisions, as it will also help them to stick by the rules they set for themselves. And understanding how everything works in details, help to know the pros and cons of both trade and holding, this way can support them in making the right decision, as it will make them to stay focused on their decision, as they won't panic or fear.

Market fluctuations are natural, but without a realistic mindset and understanding, those fluctuations can become a big worry for you and it can force you to make wrong decisions. Emotions are a very bad thing, it can always only create wrong decisions in people, scare people, and when people start making decisions emotionally, one thing is certain in them that they will definitely face losses. That is why it is very important to have a clear idea about the market, risk management and your own strategy. Discipline, realistic thinking, patience are necessary, because emotions will always cause losses.

It is not entirely true that Bitcoin is less volatile than other cryptocurrencies. The reason it is advised to hold Bitcoin rather than these other coins is simply because of its long term potential. Inasmuch as it’s true that past performances doesn’t always guarantee future results, Bitcoin has with time, proven to make an exception so far to this statement, compared to other coins. But if it is volatility, bitcoin is very volatile just like every other coin, especially within the short term, but another different is that most of the coins out there in the market are driven by hype.

I do agree with you most individuals that have not been into investment in Bitcoin do feel that it is an easy journey but no!, Bitcoin investments comes with a lot of things attached to it, like emotions, hard decisions, discipline and more
Although being compared with trading it can be regard to as easy, but on a plane level it is not as easy as people think, I will advise that before anybody starts investing in Bitcoin they should made good researches about it, it's movement and best ways to invest, going to this full room will be of good help as well.
