I believe trading is risking HODLING LESS when, HyperBitcoinization.
the goal should not be this or that if you want to be successful in my opinion. fiat isn't going anywhere and neither is bitcoin. if you ask me a good strategy is when you accumulate bitcoin while increasing your fiat (profit) at the same time. and that is possible with trading although it is time consuming.
But would you consider the average member of Bitcointalk a "profitable trader"? I believe that the average member would be taking more risk of HODLING LESS if indeed we're on the road to 6 digits.
