Trading is really risky and every one is aware of that already. But if one know are to tackle it, it may endup being useful when it come to daily earning mostly for day traders. But still holding to me is still the best, because thorough holding you can minimise the risk of investing while holding for long-term. Because that would give you more chances to always partake in the bulk run expecially for someone with good entry (early investor) and it a long run holding turnup to be more profitable.
If we talk about the risks between trading and holding, of course trading is riskier because we have to be able to manage profits and losses in the near future. Meanwhile, holding is simply buying a coin at its lowest point and then holding it for a long period of time waiting for the coin to reach its highest price. Long-term holding is a safe bet, guaranteeing you choose safe coins.
and the other beauty of holding you don't actually need much knowledge before you could start holding, you just need the basic knowledge and you good to go. Not like trading that requires serious skills and knowledge before you would start engaging with it . Because those that trade with half-size knowledge are not ready to learn from their mistakes, most time would always endup losing a their funds.
