Yes, typically one would do better hodling rather than trading. This is mainly due to Bitcoin being deflationary by design via a finite supply and reduced block rewards when the halving events occur. Also, the risks are exponentially lower hodling vs trading. However, there are some cases where one could take some Bitcoin profits and invest in stocks and be even more ahead, but the reality is that at least 95% of the time, one would be better off hodling- plus hodling requires little effort compared to trading.
First of all, considering the risk aspect, holding is undoubtedly safe, trading is a very risky place, here you have to work hard in terms of entry and exit at the right time, risk management, emotion control and consistent decisions, everything, and at the same time, if you make a little mistake in these, it will cause us losses, that is, to be profitable in trading, you have to first gain complete skills here, which is definitely a difficult task. Compared to this, Bitcoin investment is a much better and more profitable investment, and especially in the long term. We can invest in Bitcoin without high-risk things like trading, and we can do a business at the same time, and as you suggested, investing in the stock market is also a good alternative besides Bitcoin investment. In fact, we have many options, except for high-risk things like trading. Personally speaking, I don't like trading either, I will never trade, instead, business or investment is much safer and more reliable.
