Trading and holding of 2026 first half

[Karl_3000]

Holding is far better.

Well, this argument is a old as when Bitcoin and the entirety of the crypto industry became active. Hodling might've worked better in the early stages of this industry when Bitcoin was at a giveaway prices. We can't say that now that price is hitting the roof where small amounts invested hardly matter much anymore.

Until will put side by side a good hodler like you said, with a good trader and then expose both of them to the same capital and time duration, we aren't going to have an end to this debate.

When bitcoin get back to $126000, you will understand that holding is better, unlike traders that will see it as a loss, it is not a loss.
The link that I gave you take less than 10 minutes to understand, trading take more than that but the trader will still be losing. Browse the internet and see how many traders are losing.

It is easy to be a good holder than to be a good trader. Some people think that they are good traders but more losses will happen, trading is very the same like gambling.

Holding bitcoin and trading is not an argument, everyone on this forum accept holding bitcoin is the best, you are the I first person that I saw that against it.

However, experience will always make some people choose trading because what they make from trading is uncomparably bigger than what investing can afford them.

I guess that's not certain either. Trading might be more interesting because of the short-term gains that can be earned. But long-term investment might be better for this year's market situation. If we do trading and investing at the beginning of this year, we can compare which, actually, has given profits. The gains from short-term investment might seem smaller, but we know that in the best plan, investment is done for the long term. But I guess both can still provide profits.

I have been holding for the last 2 years and to be honest I have seen any profit, I am actually down approx 50% over 4 coins

Holding profits comes from a long time of waiting that is why we often say that investment in cryptocurrency like Bitcoin should be done with a long time frame in mind because that is the only way you are going to see the remarkable profits from Bitcoin investment.


You said you are holding 4 coins in your portfolio, but if I am to advice you, I think holding only Bitcoin should be the safest option, if you are holding Bitcoin for that two years, there is no way you be down with that 50% negative record in your portfolio.

Holding for 2 years and a reduction over the 4 coins not solely bitcoin.
Maybe slightly less but my wallet doesn't actually tell me what I purchased them for unless i'm using it incorrectly.
