Hold vs trading what is better?

[DAMKAR]

I think its better to have a knowledge about crypto,  because you know how to hold and trades. And think this two concepts will be important.

Knowledge can be helpful, but that alone will not help you if you want to either holding, or trading. There's one thing that I believe you also need if you want to be successful in either one of them. Experience.

Whatever experience is very important for you to make better decisions in the future. You experiencing losing money in either trading or holding would help you avoid that decision and will adjust to it. Both of them can give you losses since both of them have risk. The only thing is that, trading has much larger risk compare to just buying and holding but on contrast, the reward will be much higher as well.

At the end of the day, there will be investors who will just prefer buying and holding rather than trading, and there will be investors who will trade all of their assets instead of just holding it. There will be some who will do both because they believe they can do both of them and make profit on both. Having knowledge would be helpful obviously but experience will help you make better decisions.

Experience is the main key to investing, especially if you want to become a professional trader. And knowledge is a reinforcement of the experience we get, the two cannot be separated because we need both

An investor usually does not spend much time analyzing the market or sitting with the market while investing, but a trader has to analyze the market for most of the day and always keep the market chart in front of the monitor and then try to understand the market in different ways. Professional traders use multiple monitors and try to monitor the market by keeping the same chart on multiple monitors. Trading is very difficult for those who are professional traders but for those who don't have much idea about trading, trading seems very easy because they don't know how to trade in the right way.

It is very difficult and takes time to become a professional trader, because it requires experience and expertise as well as time to monitor the market. monitor movements and analyze. Also predicting prices in the near future, I have busy lives in the real world, so I don't have time to do it all.

Holding of coin involve you keep a coin in your wallet till it get to a price you feel you will want to sell it and then make profit and this holding can take months or years to get to a price you want, we all know that cryptocurrency is very volatile and also very risky and when one is taking about holding it should be a good coin well trusted coin so you won't hold that coin in vain, there are some coin you will hold for years and it will fall in value and price and will never rise again that is why when you want to hold coin you need to choose a good coin for example Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is the first crypto coin to be created and one of the best investment right now in the world and also the best crypto coin in the world Bitcoin has made a lot of people rich and has also helped in growing the economy of the world, Bitcoin is the best crypto coin when you talk about holding because you have nothing to fear it won't fall in price even when it falls is just an opportunity to accumulate more Bitcoin because it will certainly increase in price again i will advise you to go through the history of Bitcoin and see for yourself.

Then when you talk about trading one needs to learn it very well in other to succeed in trading and trading is the most risky cryptocurrency investment strategy, it involves you predicting if a coin will increase in price, when you get it right you make profit but when you get it wrong you lose your money, because is your money you are using to predict and if you are not careful you will lose all your money, i know someone that lost a lot of money in trading and he even borrowed money just to continue his trading, I'm not saying people always lose in trading there are people that make money from it also but is more risky than holding.
So anyone one you feel is okay for you then you can go with it and if you later discover you are not okay with it then you can leave it and go for the other.

Holding is long term and most people say holding should be at least 5 to 10 years long. And considering this timespan I will say long term trading is best not holding (5 to 10 years). Because I am keeping an eye on Whale Hunter group and I am seeing people are making millions of dollars just by trading long term in BTC even.

But for long term trading you need lot of capital, for example if a millionaire has bought btc of 2 million at $20k and sold them at $40k he automatically made 2x profit and till now he must have made 3x now.

Generally speaking both methods are right as both have their own pros and cons some like trading while other prefers holding I also like to hold but not for 5 to 10 years.  We should chose holding and trading on the basis of our capital, time we can wait for profit and patience and stress level we can bear.

Yes, both experience and knowledge are 2 main factors for the success in investment and trading. Being average or professional traders/investors require these factors. That's why many people suggested to focus on learning first if we are new people in crypto trading or investment. Having proper knowledge is the first thing to get. Meanwhile experience, we can get it from reading the story of other people. Or we can get it from our experience when we begin trading/investing.

I agree both holding and long term trading have some good points and also have some bad points too. Holding for 5 to 10 years can be good but it is not for everyone.Long term trading can be profitable like Whale Hunter group making millions from Bitcoin. However it needs a lot of money and not everyone can invest that much.

When deciding between holding and trading it is important to think about our own situation like how much money we have how long we can wait and important thing is that how much stress we can handle. There is no perfect solution for everyone.Some of us like holding because it is simple and can grow over time. And some of us like long term trading because it is exciting and can bring big profits.

It is good to think about our own needs and market before making decision. I like that your are open to both ideas and knows that holding for 5 to 10 years is not for us. By choosing right thing investors can make good decisions and reach their financial goals.

There are two types of holding, short time and long time but we are always involved in long time holding in special cases. So holding is a long term strategy which is a risk free and safe strategy unlike trading. So if you can pick and hold coins properly then good profit is possible. On the other hand, it is possible to get profit from trading in a short period of time but it requires a lot of practice and experience. If you are an expert in trading then you will get instant profit. However there are advantages and disadvantages to everything in the crypto market so the more experienced we are the more likely we are to make a profits.

There is no investment that is risk free, hodling your bitcoin for long term does not mean that bitcoin price might not go against you and this is why you are to only invest with your extra cash that you don't need so that in future if bitcoin price did not go up as you expected, you will not be disappointed. The only investment that is worth investing for long term is bitcoin, altcoins don't have the potential to last long in the market.

You think it is best to hold onto cryptocurrencies for long time. I agree as this can be safe way to invest and make lot of money. To do this well you need to be patient do your research and choose right coins.

Trading can make us money quickly but it is not easy. We need to practice a lot have experience and understand how market works. Even good traders can lose money so you need to be careful.

To do well in crypto market you need to know what you are doing work hard and learn from your mistakes. More you know better you will be at making good choices and making money.

It is true that bitcoin holding does not require us to leave money for a long time. But altcoins are different because there are many altcoins that have disappointed investors over the years. In today scenario it is possible to profit from bitcoin within a very short period of time, so no extra time is needed. However in crypto we all have different preferred currencies so not everyone investment style will be the same. But we should start making profit from short time because it doesn't take time to crash in crypto.

Yes, nothing is risk free, even if we hold Bitcoin for a long period of time, we can't be sure that it will not go against us, but it is true that if we hold for a longer period of time, that risk is reduced, But it is not absolutely risk free. So nothing can be said for sure. You have to accept the risk in every case. But for this can never be disappointed.

That's completely true, no investment strategy or approach can guarantee one from being completely risk free or loss free, even the most recommended and most adopted strategy has its own disadvantages too and may sometimes fail. But regardless,  its better to play safe at all time and apply extreme caution and care in whatever strategy one choose to employ and also to be always conscious of the fact that things may not always go as planned, especially when it involves the crypto market because it's totally unpredictable.  When one bears all of this in mind, it helps one to make better investment choices and also know their risk tolerance level as well as to also prepare for the worst while hoping for the best.

This is the reason why you should not invest with all your money into crypto but invest with an amount that you can afford to lose for a very long period of time before you know it that amount will become huge and your bitcoin portfolio will have good profit so that if the price of bitcoin did not meet your expectations, you will not lose all hope or get disappointed. However, no one is praying for such and I know that bitcoin price will keep increasing overtime than going down.

The price doesn't always go up, my friend... people who bought Bitcoin on March 13, 2024 are certain not to have made a profit until now if they are still holding... the price of Bitcoin on March 13, 2024 was $73k and now the price of Bitcoin is $63k... there is still a gap of around 10%+ to really reach the buying point.... Bitcoin continues to fluctuate even though the price tends to be stable. Yes, it's been 5 months and we are still at a loss, that means the Bitcoin price graph still can't be predicted easily and steadily up, there must be a downturn too.

I'm afraid this will create a lot of wrong perceptions.
