Hold vs trading what is better?

[Gurujebs]

During the bullrun season, I'm very sure people will prepare for selling all their coins. If we buy coins for holding, it should be during the bearish season. But sometimes people are waiting for the higher prices to sell their coins. Now, it seems people almost see the higher prices for Bitcoin and altcoins. If it meets the target, people must trade their coins. Well, it is true that it is the time for trading strategy now, it is not the time for holding.

That's the basic logic of every holder that invest in coins, but during the bear market and sell during the bull run but they get over joy by the return and hold the coin beyond their expectations. It's good though but the problem with market is that you never even know where and when it will end and for this reason, many people don't get the opportunity to sell.

It's very easy to buy a coin and hold but the hard part of it is the holding and selling at appropriate time. As for me, if my profit is significant enough for me, I will take what I get and try some coins later in the next bear market.

We don't know when the market will go up or down, but by always monitoring the crypto market and looking at the chart, we can estimate whether the market will move up or down. This requires experience in making analysis and predictions. We can buy when the market is down and sell when it goes up. However, being a holder will be safer by buying bitcoin and other top coins and then holding them.

Very simple strategy, right? When we are in the bull run, we sell all of our coins that we held for the past 2-3 years. The problem is that there are some who aren't contented with the profits that they have and like you said, they're waiting for a higher price until the market reversed already and instead of having a 100% in profit, most might end up in 50% or even lesser.

If we have a target selling price, as much as possible, follow it. If we have a specific time frame of holding a certain coin, by all means, sell it if the time reaches already. As for trading, it's way riskier than that of holding, but the profit is way better. If somebody here wants to trade though, I suggest to trade on spot rather on futures especially if you're a newbie.

Can't predict yet when the market going up or down but set up how much profitable to earn make us easily without need monitoring 24 hours in trading, after our investing success and have target to sell around several percent profitable earn its easily put sell order and come back later when having time to check our order have been success sold or not.
What for spent more than 24 hour in trading to monitoring market price? just analyze possibility price going down if want buy back at lower price than set up how much possibility price up for selling our coins.

Some times holders face also losses just to not have proper plan or strategy.
Specially I will say one main cause they were investing that amount of their fund which should not be invested on. In regards they don't have any savings and when they need money in urgent they have to sell their holding fund on losses. And there is others causes like they made investment on bull season when market is on up trend And later it is seen that when the market heads towards the bear season, they get affected by the FUD and sell their holding funds at a loss.

I always prefer holding as a much easier form of getting profit. I prefer to spend time once, select something for purchase, keep it and wait for desired profit. Than spend a lot of time searching for best positions and offers on the market. For me that is 1 headache that I am fully responsible from vs multiple times not having a chance to have any impact on my selection and must to play under someone else rules.

I think holding more easier than trading and we don't need to make analyze when entering because set up target as long term or become holder waiting only increasing price. If some one don't have much time for researching or analyze any coins better become investor or hold their coins as long possibility until price increasing drastically.
But to be holder need patience waiting price increasing and not get panic for selling their bitcoin or altcoin assets when price going drop drastically, I think you are typical have large patience waiting price increasing up drastically and not get panic moment for selling.

Holding have to types, it can be a long term or short term. If your holding but can't hold for years then you are a short term holder, maybe you can just hold a coin for a month, and no matter what the price is you will dispose it. While long term holder, you can hold it for years or maybe just buy a coin to put it to sleep, so you didn't mind what will going to happen with that as long as you just have holding. I think with that being discussed, long term holding is the better of all in terms of pressure and stress but it depends what really works for you.

Even if you hold for a long term, it doesn't mean you don't need any analysis before you buy the coins. Both trading and investment need analysis for the entry, we must have a little research about the coins that we want to buy. It doesn't make sense you buy the coins carelessly for holding a long term. You even must be more careful because not all coins can survive a long time. So, holding a long time doesn't only need a good patience. It also needs a smart analysis to determine the right coins for growing well in the long run.

If we have free money, I prefer to be a long-term holder. Because we can buy when the price is below the bearish season and hold it until the bullish season. But being a short-term holder is also a good way to make a quick profit.

Indeed even a person want to invest for long term he have to do analysis otherwise there is a big possible to take wrong decision on his investment. If we say about the Bitcoin investment for the long term maybe even you have low analysis skill but you have to do analysis for make investment like you shouldn't make investment in this time and how you will know that is only analysis.
And when I person want to invest for long term on altcoin he must have serious or analysis because if the coin wasn't so potentially he will just loose his fund gradually.

"Interesting topic! I feel like both holding and trading can be valid, but it really depends on the person and their level of confidence and knowledge. Personally, I’ve realized I’m more comfortable with something in between.

I recently started using a platform called Fruitifi, which offers pre-built DeFi strategies that you can follow based on your risk level and time horizon. So it’s not pure trading, and not just holding either — more like strategic investing with tools that guide you. It’s helped me feel more structured in my approach.

Curious if anyone here has tried similar platforms, or prefers sticking to one side (HODL or trade)?"

This is why  investing in a long term project is a good idea, if you make your analysis to invest on a long term project, you should have a set goal, to take your profits  though after realizing  that profit you can still decide to sell some of your accumulation  while you keep the rest for the next circle, but when you're on a short term project which is like to pump and dump at any given instance the best you can do is not to be greedy, take a little profit and move one, because  there are other project that can give you the same return or even better. So for every shitcoin you invest in, you should not be greedy. Though I don't advise anyone  to invest in shitprojects, but you which to, then you should invest with what you can afford to lose, you should invest with the knowledge  of gamble that anything could happen, so you don't put in too much hopes on the project.

If I had known crypto since 2012 then I would have made Bitcoin a Hodler asset.
Maybe I would have kept Bitcoin until now as a valuable asset that I have at least Bitcoin to Hodl around 2 BTC.

Unfortunately, I got to know Bitcoin early last year in 2024 and it showed that the price of Bitcoin had exceeded 20,000 dollars.
It's too late for me to become a Bitcoin hodler for now and maybe I can't trade Bitcoin because now the price of Bitcoin is expensive to buy except maybe using decimal fractions around 0.0002 Satoshi.

Bitcoin is not expensive for you to buy since you don't need to buy one whole bitcoin but you can buy in fraction with a low as $10 and continue buying using DCA method, before you know it in four years, you will be surprised with the amount of bitcoin in your portfolio. Missing buying bitcoin earlier isn't an excuse of not buying now because you will regret it in future when bitcoin price will be $500k.
