Stop trading, start mining/stacking !

[L E G E N D A R Y]

Trading on the capital markets with the motive of chasing short term profits and same time stacking your savings on fiats can be very risky because it will surely be stroke by inflation and as a matter of fact, you might only be implying to had stacked a huge sum of values in the fiats but being devalued over real value of money.
Bitcoin investment is a store of values but does not actually mean it is the only sort to hedge inflation. Fortunately real estate, stock and gold is also commendable for long term valuable storage.

Who stacks fiat? Of course inflation will definitely do justice to it. Fiat is just as worthless as shitcoins, only difference is that this shitcoin called fiat has government backing and it’s generally recognized. Anyone who’s willing and ready to stack, should consider bitcoin, that’s the best asset especially if you’re targeting the long term. If you’re not a patient or a disciplined one, or someone who’s just after taking out some quick profits from the market, then bitcoin wouldn’t do such a fellow any good, he’ll only get himself into more troubles.

Trading is equally as important as mining if one knows what they are doing. Otherwise, how do they get the sats if they are not trading (buying sats)?
Some even know how to buy and sell periodically, thereby accumulating sats through profits.

Mining, on the other hand, is not always about profits. Some people are just making losses due to the high power tariffs in their countries. For example, you wouldn't expect me to mine in my jurisdiction and make any good profits. But if I just got $60K that I was to use to buy mining gear and just trade (buy BTC), I have a higher chance of having way more sats than if I just decided to mine.

Trading is the pursuit of wealth; mining is the act of securing the future....whether through liquidity or hashrate =Welcome to the club.

Stop trading pennies for fiat trash. You're dumping real assets to stay poor. Five years from now, you'll regret every sat you sold. Keep chasing gains; we'll keep stacking.BTC

This is a very solid advice and I believe everyone should key into it cause it's the only way to change our financial level by investing though not every investment yields profit but bitcoin single handedly has been a profitable asset however it's still in a good position to invest in but all investment must come from a place of discretionary income.

I think that more than a semantic problem, it is usually a simple translation problem, since it is not the first time that I have read the term trading with that meaning, and I have the vague memory that these were people who were not native English-speakers (although it doesn't seem the case here).

But indeed, for those of us who move through this crypto world, the term trading goes much further than the simple fact of selling Bitcoin to fiat (meaning that we have inherited from Wall Street, by the way).

It is clear to me that true wealth in Bitcoin is about combining long-term  strategy with the discipline to invest the xmall amount of only what you can afford, while to me people should discover  efficiency in the hash game.

Many investors in the past hold Bitcoin, those who withdrew for quick profits or for other reasons later regretted their actions. Even today some traders who are trying to make quick profits will regret it even more after the next 5 years.
There is nothing wrong with considering profit as the main purpose of holding Bitcoin. To get the desired profit you need to go through some process with discipline. One of those processes is to continue accumulating for the long term and consider this period of 4-10 years.

It Depends , While long-term accumulation is a strong strategy, we have to keep in mind  that market volatility often tests your resilience , that being said maybe  stay flexible and never invest more than you can comfortably afford to lose.

The idea of buying and selling Bitcoin sounds great at first. When you look back, you might think, “This doesn’t seem that hard,” and try to increase the amount of Bitcoin (or fiat) you have. But once you get started, your mind is constantly on it you might make mistakes, and it’s definitely not worth the effort and time you put into it.

Bitcoin already gives you a good return just by hodling onto it. In this situation, simply buying it is definitely the more sensible approach

I Did the switch from trading field to solo mining as a work not just a hobby after losing too much on hype, I aadmit that it’s slower, but stacking sats consistently is the only thing that actually builds wealth.

Discipline > gambling.   ( supériority )!

You have a point, but one thing is certain, we cant all have the same preferences about a discussion.
Nevertheless, i need you to understand that every office has an important role to play in the thriveness of Bitcoin as an asset and currency, so i will never support the concept of discarding one to focus on others when aligning both is what keeps the existence of BTC today.
If everyone stopped trading BTC, do you know that its liquidity would dramatically dry up because we won't see enough buyers and sellers to balance the market?
The same thing goes for the miners.
Therefore, trading, mining, and stacking BTC are needed for BTC to thrive.

I’d like to add a bit of clarification here, based solely on my personal assessment of the situation. In my view, those who trade make and lock in profits in stablecoins, which essentially equates trading crypto assets to trading on the fiat market.
Holding and accumulating Bitcoin, on the other hand, is a long-term investment. Therefore, these are somewhat different approaches with different goals.

Trading provides essential liquidity, while holding builds long-term value. Both are necessary; they aren't enemies, but complementary parts of the ecosystem.

The main goal at the end of the day for those participating is getting more money for the future. Whether one is trading or mining. But you also have to take into account certain external factors that may hinder someone from mining and they instead just opt to trade and vice versa

Securing the network's future is now just a secondary objective.

Mining is the king, stacking Bitcoin for the long term is the king, and so is the trading aspect of it.
It all comes down to the one you believe or experience works best for you. If miners mine and secure the network of BTC, and no trader trades it to keep it liquidity, or no one stacks it as an asset, BTC won't achieve its purpose.
As I have said earlier, everything works for the thriveness of BTC; we just need to play our roles while we also make the best out of it.

Staking is interesting; the problem is that it relies on the asset appreciating in value. If the cryptocurrency loses value, you will lose money, and the loss could be significant. Mining isn't worth it for me; electricity here in Brazil is very expensive, as is the equipment, so I believe I would end up losing more than I gained.

Investing in Bitcoin by buying and holding may seem easy, but if you lack sound financial management and a steady income it can be challenging. The volatile price of Bitcoin can cause volatility during market fluctuations, which is why many people find holding strategies difficult.

The Bitcoin buy and hold strategy may seem easy, but it's often tested by emotions often leading to a loss of control and patience when you lack a solid mindset. However, trading often results in losses compared to holding. Therefore, the best strategy is to abandon trading and focus on holding for the long term. Bitcoin has historically provided the best returns through long term buy and hold trading. Buy when you can then hold this also reduces stress, promotes calm, and makes more sense.

The reason why many people fail is due to viewing Bitcoin price chart far too frequently. Trader needs to be mentally strong so that he doesn't panic easily when the market goes down. Buying and holding has proven to be a better approach as compared to gambling by daily buys and sells. I am in agreement that it is far more financially sound to have to hold assets.

There's more than meets the eyes so to speak. It is not that you can execute a trade once you got it. It would take time to understand the trading market and start trading. Also, you need prior knowledge for the project you are dealing with. Because if not, I don't think you can get the profit that you want.

Well in the case of bitcoin, stacking, and mining is by far better than trading. Trading bitcoin for fiat currency is a way of loosing your asset, and since trading carries inherent risk, you are likely loose your asset while trading. However, it is worthy to note that Bitcoin is a valuable asset, and every sat you accumulate grows in value with time. As a store of value, Bitcoin helps to sustain the value of you money in the long run, and help you fight against inflation, but when you trade your sat or Bitcoin for fiat currency, your money is likely to depreciate in value, and gain total control by the government. Honestly, mining, and stacking sat is worth more than trading for pennies.

Bitcoin has always been profitable in the long term. If you have the financial means to wait, holding onto Bitcoin for an extended period without selling offers an advantage. Bitcoin mining and accumulation allows your money to appreciate in value over the long term. The important thing is to be able to wait long enough and sell when your investment reaches your desired value.

Buying and selling is risky, but it can also yield profits in some cases. Those who want to grow their investments by holding them for the long term often prefer not to buy and sell too much due to the risk of not being able to repurchase the units they sell.

This advise is good but it's subjective I must tell you. There are plenty of people that are making it in trading, they are doing well, some people have made money they couldn't make from Bitcoin in trading, some people came late to Bitcoin stacking and has made money than some people that started earlier. However, there are ask people that has lose money like you said but it doesn't invalidate people that has been trading Bitcoin for long time now, they also do well.

I see stacking of Bitcoin as the easiest way to market entry but it's not easy like you think, holding Bitcoin isn't as easy as you think but it's worth every penny you get if you can exercise patient. There is benefit to what you can get holding as a commoner to a trader but if you spend time trading, it's also worth it too. There is no short cut to any of the two, you need to be accountable for both of them.
