Well for me I think selling of coins isn't a stupid idea because we buy to sell later at higher prices, but where it's been stupid is selling at lose when you can actually hodl for a while and be in profit, so I think it's been stupid to be a panic seller, hodl and make the money weak hands are panick sellers.

The both are profitable but depends on the person who trades, if you are good enough in crypto trading surely you will make insane gains and same as a person trading forest, but I can boldly tell you that trading forest is much more risky than trading crypto, in crypto you can just buy coins and keep when it rises you sell even without having knowledge of technical analysis but in forest there is no such thing.

The general strategy and rule of the market to remain profitable is to buy low sell and sell high, I think that's the common strategy everyone uses to be profitable, but it's so unfortunate some people will buy the top and when price gets lower there panic and sell low which isn't supposed to be so, don't fomo! wait for prices to drop before buying.

Everything is based on your research, tho investing in a new coin might be risky and be very profitable, the problem thier is knowing the right coin which of them will really last in the market and do very well. That's why I said all you need to do is make your own research before investing and it will help very well.

Well there is nothing much here to debate any longer because this bear market has given a judgment to this debate.
