Topic: Btc hodlers vs short time traders - page 6. (Read 860 times)

People who buy Bitcoin just so that they could also resell it at a bit higher price has yet to really see the bigger, much less the full, picture. If people are still buying Bitcoin so that they could grow their fiat more, they are not yet seeing the wider monetary, economic, and financial realities of the times.

Signs are abundant. We have seen even the most developed nations failing in their inflation targets. We have seen debt limits rising. We have seen money printing rising to intolerable levels. These are the reasons why we HODL.

dca method is for investor, in many ways, i think dca is the best option to uy bitcoin, because no matters what is the price you still buy it, its different with traders, they must see the chart, must make a decision when to buy and sell

most traders want to accumulate too. they jsut have different strategies to accumulate long term.

DCA is not about having patience. its just having a regular payment plan, almost on auto pilot. where you just set it and forget it. much like setting up paying into a savings account or a pension plan. it just moves money once a month (and autobuys at the price at deposit). its not some tricky thing or some complex thing that requires will-power and restraint.

the issue with DCA is the lack of control of the price, because its auto pilot to just buy when you deposit, you could end up buying at the ATH for the month, missing loads of oppertunities to have bough cheaper

traders can take better oppertunities and.. if they dont buy in during the first 27 days of the month cheaper. they still can spill their load on day 28 and buy at the "whatever" price. because thats the flaw in DCA. the "buy at whatever"/just buy regular theory

so if you want to maximise your potential. deposit at start of month. and set it to buy at end of the month if funds havnt already bought during the month. because buying coins each month still conforms to DCA because there is no rule that makes it a crime to not buy on the day of deposit. then with more control over oppertunities during a month, you have time..  rather then the theory of "just buy at deposit, dont care about price"

that way you have all that time in between to make better decisions.. and if still cant decide, oh well DCA it on day 28th day. and repeat each month. to still be DCA

Bitcoin holders is equivalent to trader i have not seen a big difference between hodlers and traders frommy own angle of understanding, the slight difference i noticed is that hodlers don't be extremely curious to sell out their currency and they are not much inquisitive to sell, they only sell when a price of the coin they are hodling skyrocket or accelerates in market, while traders are conscious of selling their coins in any caused, in order to enable to earn a profit.

I agree with you that everyone who holds and does the DCA will keep up in this market and are the winners. But the traders are also winning if they're winning their trades.
There's not that much difference from them and the other if they're also winning with what they do. As much as we want to see, everyone must be a winner with their own strategy that they think will make them that far.

Depends on your preference. There a lot of things to go wrong when you're trading, it solely depends on your actions, your experience, psychology etc. Some people get too emotional, it's definitely not for everyone, at least I prefer to avoid it. I mostly panicked when I was trading, and kept worrying about my investment and my actions.

On the other hand, holding is an automated, autopilot method, which so far, has been proven to work.

Definitely, it depends on what method you are comfortable with using.

Me, I go for both, long term and short term are both profitable as long as you know the right timing especially on buying. if you were able to buy cheap bitcoin especially at the dip, you will find no problem holding it as in long run after the market struggles, a new bull run will come that will break the ATH.

Just follow the market trends and everything would be easy.

Hodler and short-time traders both are benefited for their own purposes. Hodler invested money for the long term cause they have other income sources, they are able to manage their monthly expenses by doing other jobs. so they are able to invest for the long term and get benefits.
On the other hand, short-time traders are taking trading their main job, they do trading to manage their monthly expenses. They invest money for short time, take ROI and use that ROI to live their livelihood or use that ROI to invest in a new project. So they are also benefited.

Dca without game play buy the dip comined together gives best results not just dca

DCA is game play.. a campaign being pushed

if influencers can get enough of the community to change from random lump sums and instead regular drips, then the hope is it can stabilise the price.

but most pushing for DCA seem to also push 'dont worry about price, dont try to buy the dip'. losing people many opportunities to maximise a better average

sorry but not everyone is going to DCA so dont expect volatility to change.
its like asking everyone to be hygienic and respect personal space, hoping it stops a virus spreading.. didnt work

Sorry but hodlers who buy with dca method are the winners in this game.
Dollar cost average is by far one of the best methods many dont like it as they dont have patience.
We the people want to see results always too fast if not we not interested only few the handful can really do the buy the dips combined mixed with dca style buying.
