I quit trading. I'm just holding on now. Because it is very difficult to profit from trading if you are not an expert in trading. When I was in trading, when I traded, I would lose once and gain once, so when I calculated on average, there was not much profit. So i am quit trading. I now only hold DCA on a weekly basis. It gives me much more profit after long time.
In fact, there will be losses in business but even if there are losses in other businesses then you can withdraw real capital. But you will lose a lot of money when you trade without knowledge. Your process is like betting on a type of gambling that you win once and then lose. But at the end of the day it will be seen that the amount of your loss is more. However at this moment you can buy the best coin at dip price so you should invest in the best token right now.
Deciding to HODL shitcoins would be the worse decision anyone could take, same way as deciding to trade Bitcoin could also appear to be a very bad choice too because shitcoins are super volatile and be easily manipulated and their value could drop to zero in matter of minutes, so holding on to such asset would be at your own risk, although ETH has indeed proven to have long-term potentials too just like Bitcoin, but regardless, I don't trust any coin that's not Bitcoin no matter what it promises its investors.
Trading Bitcoin on the other hand can be just as dangerous, especially if you're relatively new to the system, even people who consider themselves to be experts still end up making mistakes while trying to predict the short-term movement of the market, so the safest approach still remains the HODL strategy, although every strategy has its prons and cons but at least HODLing helps you mitigate risks of losses as well to help you make a more calculated decision concerning your investment.
