I'm brain-puzzled lol, help me with math: i'm using CAT from Sampey with min %gain for ping-pong orders set to 1%. In your opinion is it better to hold following the bull or buy/sell with 1% at each single trade?

Sell at $750 and Buy back at ~$610, how is that not obvious? Cheesy

Seriously, you can dramatically increase your profits with good trades, but you have a serious risk of selling too much way too soon.
Also, even if you sell at a great time, it is really hard to avoid buying back with only a small profit because you know the up-trend is so strong.

Maybe for you, can time the trading rightfully. but for for most people or the investors, they will just buy and hold.

I would definitely hold.
I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life regretting missing out on the biggest bull run ever.

We are not the big whale, we cannot control the price. The trading is just to transfer our money to rich guys.

It will be much better if you are now holding indeed and that is because there are still a lot of people that is holding because they know that the value is rising slowly.
And nobody will also know what the value will be in the future but holding is now the safest thing that you can do.

hold it until price establish then trade for much better earnings, bitcoin still moving up and it will continue so much better to hold instead of trading. might need to trust it more until halving ended up..

buy and hold is the best option, but i have a better option, which is buy and generate, so i don't need to buy and expose my funds to shitty taxes

Buy and generate, do you mean lending your coins as example?

Holding will be now the best option that you can do around this time because the value will be high soon and that would be perfect for the people that is using Bitcoin.
The only thing that can be bad is that you must wait a long time until the value will be more so that can bad because not everyone has the patience for it.

Yeah it is right to hold the coins till price rise, if you choose to trade you may have to lose your coins and at the time of halving when price rises you will be lot worried, so it is better to hold rather than to trade.

i think it is better to just hold them for a view weeks for now becaue the price will do allot of positive things and i dont think you should trade bitcoins that is not really profitable for your self.

I think that it is better to hold on to your coins for the future because there is a chance that the price in the future will be higher then ever. Trading Bitcoins in the mean time cannot hurt so you can do that as well.

Buy and hold a savings of bitcoin.
Buy more bitcoins to use whenever you can , there are a lot of cost savings found in buying things for bitcoin.

If everyone follows these two simple rules bitcoin will continue to flourish.

I would like to buy and hold the bitcoin. The price will be higher in the future, so it is better to hold for the long term.

to each his own!

I believe just buying bitcoin and simply holding it is the lazy way of earning money. and that way you will be losing a lot of potential of earning even more. so I would always choose trading over just holding bitcoin.
and earning profit is not that hard, you just have to obey certain rules, have stop loss, and the important thing "trade with no emotions" and you are golden.

I will trade the bitcoin with Ethereum or other good altcoins. If both rise, it is good. I do not trade the bitcoin/USD pair.

course of trade. it's better than waiting for something that is not certain. maybe in a few years you might get a $ 200 profit from bitcoin, but can you get in a short time in the trade

Ok thanks all for your opinion guys, they really helped me and gave me support in the past 2 or 3 days during my "brain-puzzle" mood. So i decided to hold and generate, like someone of you suggested which makes me feel good enough (by generate i meant mine and some lending business i have around) so the feeling is not only "it's growing because the price" but even "it's growing cuz i myltiply my coins"

Also, to the ones that suggested trading might be too risky during halving approach: i agree. I'm going to stop trading because any trading chance might be a new risk aaaaaand the rampage can make me prolly happier than dozens of micro-daily-trades.

I will lock this thread in a few hours, i will just give the chance to anyone willingly to still add comments: as Lauda suggest...once you got the right suggestions, it is pretty useless to leave a thread like this open...it would just feed the sig spam making people to just repeat the same said things over and over, without adding anything useful Wink

Happy halving to all of you !
Hamu.

Just buy if you can afford regardless of the price and the trend.

Good thing price dips today or should I say yesterday. Chance to get some lil coins before it goes to a behave rampage again.

Days like this where the price came down from +$460 to below $440 are great opportunities to generate a decent amount of coins.

This volatility is what traders are looking for, but when there is no volatility it is better to stay away from your coins. Just leave them untouched.

I would recommend trade in short terms with little profit, less risk. The best would be buy and hold but until the price increases I couldn't stay without trading so trading and holding is great, but not selling.
