Long term Bitcoin holding or short term trading

[sampoerna]

If you want to trade, choose an altcoin with high volatility, because it is easier for us to profit from volatile coins. While bitcoin, in my opinion, this coin is only suitable for long-term holding. I choose BNB, Solana,  and TRX for trading, and I also choose some new coins because the profits are greater even though the risk is higher.

Actually, for now, the price of Bitcoin is also quite volatile and the price difference is significant every day. However, because the price of BTC is high, so for small traders, the results may not be too noticeable, or even the results are not as optimal as when we trade coins with high volatility and the price is still low. So we can buy more of these altcoins, especially if the price can increase several times.

Of course, everyone will choose Bitcoin as the number 1 option if they want to buy coin for a long term holding. Bitcoin is trustable, Bitcoin is the king of crypto coins.

Only haters who doubt and don't believe in Bitcoin.
And haters will always gonna hate.

Long trading only works if the platform doesn't make you set a mandatory stop loss and also doesn't put a time limit on the trade.
Sure it's profitable, but it will take a long time for those gains to mature if you put your long order really high. That's why small, quick trades will make you more money in the long run but it will cause you to lose money in the long run. But the choice is up to you.

Yeah opening long positions is profitable and the returns in terms of profit are usually very high compared to regular scalping trades. However just as the profit is big so is the risk. For a long term traders or swing trader , their trade stop losses are usually bigger than those of short position traders.

But if we are together compare in terms of possible profit, I'll just say both long-term bitcoin hodling and short term trading are almost equally profitable. However it depends on the HODLER and trader respectively. It also depends on how much they both have to spare.

Rather than having to trade with emotion and there will be a lot of risk, it is better to hold on for the long term with a predetermined price target.
Bitcoin is only a long-term investment asset for me and not for trading. I prefer to trade altcoins to take advantage of any price fluctuations to make a profit.

When the price of Bitcoin is on sale, it is an opportunity to buy and accumulate more bitcoins.
There was a time when I would sell Bitcoin when it was time and the main target was achieved.

Your perspective on long-term Bitcoin holding is well-founded, especially given the historical growth of Bitcoin. Bitcoin's price appreciation over the past 14 years has indeed been extraordinary, and for many, long-term holding (often referred to as HODLing has proven to be a successful strategy.Long term holding is particularly appealing because it allows investors to ride out the market's ups and downs, avoiding the need to time the market perfectly. Over time, Bitcoin has shown resilience and has consistently reached new highs after periods of correction. This makes it a compelling option for those who believe in its long-term potential and are willing to endure short-term fluctuations.

Of course. By investing in Bitcoin, an investor can make positive decisions along with his real assets. The trend of the last 14 years has created a stable investment platform among investors that holds the position as a universal investment vehicle for people of every income. Especially the method of depositing Bitcoins following the DCA strategy can be done by people of any income, rich or poor, and earn huge profits through long-term management. However, the advice of most experienced investors is to hold Bitcoin holdings for a longer term rather than profit as it is assumed that the price of Bitcoin may skyrocket in the future.

Bitcoin is the most valuable currency in the cryptocurrency world. So i think that invest in bitcoin is very prefer for us. We also know that if we hold bitcoin, we must wait for long term. Because we know that cryptocurrency market is always depending on up and down. We also know that short term trading is also profitable. But it also be risky for us. So i believe that long turm investment is the more profitable than short term trading.

What is your opinion? Long term Bitcoin holding or short term trading which should be chosen.

If I have the means to have access to plenty of cash, I will not trade Bitcoin, the pair isn't profitable unless you tried it with margin or go leverage. I will just buy it and keep for long term, it will remain in the wallet where it will be safe keep for the time been until I'm ready to sell it or if I have gain a significant profit of the investment.

Trading Bitcoin is even a stress to me, because you know very well that Bitcoin price don't stay in one place, that's an opportunity to buy and hold instead of running after the market trying to get 5% daily profits that you may end up losing when you get caught by market manipulation.

If we are trapped in market manipulation, all we can do is wait for the market to improve again. Daily trading can be done if the market conditions are good and we can target a profit of 5%. but if we do not have the time and expertise in targeting we can choose long-term hold.

It should not be "we" but only a few people, because I see there are still many daily traders who are still making profits and avoiding losses. Moreover, between short term and long term only differ in the time period, and it should be noted, every time you make a decision, you also take a risk... in other words when someone makes decisions too often, he takes risks more often... this happens to daily traders because they make decisions more often than long term investors.

I failed as a day trader, and now I enjoy being a long term holder... it doesn't interfere with my real world work. Thus, each method has its own fans.

Long term holding is particularly appealing because it allows investors to ride out the market's ups and downs, avoiding the need to time the market perfectly.

holding bitcoin long term is a lot more appealing for those who plan to invest in bitcoin as a retirement plan or strategy i see that most people eager to invest short term in bitcoin are the ones who are not yet financially stable enough to hold their money long term and therefore not yet ready for retirement

Over time, Bitcoin has shown resilience and has consistently reached new highs after periods of correction.

personally i believe that history is the greatest tell of the future since we can’t know the future for sure we need to look at the past and see how the market moves and so far bitcoin has been consistent with its cycles so never let fomo get to you if you are investing in long term

FOMO is like a disorder for investors but to keep yourself free from it one should keep depositing bitcoins at regular intervals. Continuing to accumulate bitcoins in the DCA method combines various purchase prices every week or every month and shows the long-term UP average. Also aggressive buying in Bitcoin's price correction trend can get more stacks for less money.

The choice between long-term Bitcoin holding and short-term trading depends on an investor's goals, risk tolerance, and market outlook. For me HODL is the best, because i believe in Bitcoin's potential to appreciate over time, seeing it as a hedge against inflation or a store of value. This strategy is less stressful and requires less active management but involves riding out market volatility. On the other hand, short-term trading aims to capitalize on Bitcoin's price fluctuations, potentially yielding quick profits but also requiring constant market monitoring and a higher risk tolerance. An interesting strategy to consider during a short-term price drop is placing a short sell order with a stop-loss (SL) to preserve your BTC holdings. If the price declines, the profits from the futures position can offset the losses in your spot wallet. Conversely, if the price increases, the stop-loss minimizes your losses, allowing you to retain most of the gains. This approach helps you maintain your BTC holdings while optimizing profits during market fluctuations. And apparently we should carefully consider our financial situation, experience, and objectives before choosing between these approaches.

Indeed. When the market crashed and we have no way to sell our coins, the only way is to wait for a pump. There should be time that the market will show better trends. The drop must be a temporary only. If we are trapped in some coins, we can hold the coins until the prices increasing again. As long as we are holding trusted coins, it we shouldn't be so afraid to hold them for a longer time.

Daily trading is just another option for earning money. But it requires a good knowledge in trading, proper analysis, and the specific skills. It is better to not trading daily if we don't have the knowledge, skills, and ability of analyzing charts.

when the market crashes the only way if our capital is limited is to wait for the price of the coins we hold to rise, but if I have free funds I will trade because the price is falling and we can buy coins that we think have potential and are likely to rise quickly.

And we can say that is the basic for now, it's just paper loses that we are seeing in our portfolio and not true losses because we are not going to sell. On the other hand, having extra capital is good so that you can buy more as the price is at a discount.

As for long term though, it depends, others hold for a full cycle of 4 years. And then there are those investors who really hold more than that. Those people are really mentally though, and looking at the bigger picture as they can hold for 4++ years.
