Topic: Coins to Trade Vs To Hold? (Read 1454 times)
It is your decision i believe. But if you know how to trade it would be better for you. I mean you have to follow the project and you need to find the right time. There are more than 2.500 tradable coins in the exchanges right now and all coins have their own milestones. I usually follow the milestones times and if the project goes well i would buy their coins. I think the Hodling needs to be with large investments, if you invest like $500 you can't Hodl it would be meaningful.
if you are good at trading, you can try to trade, but this requires experience
Tgis vs reult would depend from many things like trading skills market situation and etc so if you are not good trader better hold as at the end there can be result where from 1000$ usd you have only 10 $ and belive me its possible if you arent prof. i tried some time and understood its not mine better work and keep them until market recover,its my opinion.
all depends on each individual passion I guess. Because there are some who are impatient if they have to hold coins longer for example if they have got a 20% profit then they take it, and then buy again and wait for a low price. or indeed if you are strong to hold a coin, a holder is better to be your choice. the point is that holders use safe money, not your main money.
If you can trade and are doing it good, then I would start trading. Because it is not so simple as just holding your crypto and the risks are much bigger. I prefer to hold them and save a lot of my time, because I simply cannot trade 
Depending on the needs of each individual, some like to trade to make a profit because they have skills in reading charts of price movements from year to year, some are happy to hold their assets in the hope that in the future the assets they hold will be many times fold the price.
Look, I would trade for a part of portfolio and for other part of portfolio I would prefer hold strategy. You can earn with trading, but with holding you will gain much more money.
On a bull run you can short being a trader and your portfolio got liquidated

Ten times out of ten, trading a coin is much more profitable especially in this volatile crypto market, you would be increasing the number of tokens you have while holding just keeps the value constant.
At this time, when the market was red, I realized that through articles and books about the market. I concluded that this is the best time to buy and hold it as a long-term investment
If you can't trade specific coin properly better to hold it for getting profit later. Holding is not strategy but new traders choose to sit tight with hold instead of liquidating in case of losses. Bitmex is best platform for trading with leverage and getting more profit with smart decisions.
You better look on the trading site because there are lots of coin in the market that is better for trading that the trading site can answer, and a coin to hold are those utility coin and the coin that is not done their roadmap yet.
for most people , hold is better than trade, I lost many chances of getting rich because of eth , neo dump. so just hold for the future
There are so many people who are good in day trading.
But beware of those group of pump and dump in telegram.
Those admins are the first to buy and first to dump.
Make sure you are not last in line.
Holding is good if the token has a great project and good future.
If you are often at the computer, why not engage in trading, hold it is boring. 
I think it is more logical to trade if you can. But if you are losing control over the periods of losing hold a more sensible option. So I think it is totally dependent on your character.
Its completely depend on how much risk you can take. Trading is always risk because its not compulsory that market will move or coins' price will move as expected. If price moves down when you buy at higher price, you have to hold it until it reaches at least to buy price to cover losses. But if you can take risks, you can sell with loss and move on with trading.
Second point is, to trade the coins, we need to keep ourselves up to date with current market situation and other factors which can affect the market or coin's value. And to do this we need lot of time. So these points we should consider while taking the decision.
On the other hand, holding the coin is nothing but the investment. We can just relax and can watch to price movement until our expectations.
Of course, the point is we don't know in how much time our holding(investment) will take to give gain as desire.

So many people mention that holding coins is more profitable than trading. If you trade, then its possible for you to make consistent income if you buy it low and sell at high. But if you hold, then you don't make any money until you sell which could be a very long time.
The thing is aren't there coins that are more profitable to trade than hold and vice versa? For example, i believe bitcoin is a coin to hold and not trade. Because in the long run, if it keeps going up, you will profit. If you keep buying when it dips then sell when it goes up, you make money but it seems a bit more work than holding it. Do people agree or disagree? The thing is people predict it will only go up. So if it only go up, wouldn't that mean holding makes the most sense? Now let say you buy it at a dip and then sell it when it goes back to the price after the dip. Yes you make money but probably not that much because you need a lot of money to trade bitcoin if you want to make decent money.
But with altcoins... isn't buying it at dips and selling when it goes back probably a very good idea? For example let say there is a coin that is 5 dollars or so. You dont see this coin going up high in the future where it could go up like BTC or ETH. You think the coin will stay around this price but maybe go max 15 dollars and just doesn't see it going 50 or more etc. If thats the case, wouldn't these type of coins be the perfect coins to trade assuming these coin prices keep going between say 3 dollars and 12 dollars? Because many times you notice many altcoins would go to 3 dollars then go back up to 6 dollars. If you keep repeating it, wouldn't that be profitable as long as you don't sell for a loss? The thing is what about altcoins that you think in the future could go up like ETH prices. If thats the case, wouldn't those coins be great coins to hold? Now if you buy these coins at dips and then sell them when it goes back up, yes you make money. However imagine you bought 1000 coins of a coin at 3 dollars when it dip. Then it goes back to 5.50. Then you make a 2500 dollars or so etc. Now let say it dips and goes back up many times and every time you do this you make 2k or so. Thats great right? However my thinking is if you think this coin could go up to 50 or 100 dollars, wouldn't trading it be bad idea because you could have bought 1000 shares and sold it many times where if you kept all those shares you make more money and less work etc?
However i feel like trading could make you consistent money. Holding... you dont make money until you sell for a profit. Do people agree/disagree with this? I believe the coins that you should hold for profit would be BTC and maybe ETH. However, wouldn't majority of altcoins probably be best for trading if u dont see that coin ever hitting that high of a price. Like the coin would hit max 10 dollars. But most of the time be between 2-7 dollars etc? Thus buy these coins when there is a huge dip...... then hold until it goes back up to possibly close to double the price or even 50 percent of the price and then sell for profit? Because if u dont sell when price falls after you buy, you dont lose money.
However to those people that trade altcoins especially when buying it in dips, how long typically do you hold these coins to before selling it and locking in a profit? Like if a coin drops from 3 dollars to 2 dollars in a huge dip. If you buy it at 2 dollars, if it goes to 2.50 in a few days, do you just sell it? Do you just sell it if it goes to 2.50 in the same day and cash in the profit? Im curious how many trades a trade does a month on average to make any decent money. If i had to take a guess, someone probably would need to buy at least 2-3 altcoins and buy a lot of shares like 1000+ minimum each time to lock in a profit when it price goes up right? Of course you could buy a coin and it drops down and it takes weeks or even longer to go back up. So how long do you traders hold before you sell it since you are daytrading?
It seems simple to buy coins at huge dips and then sell them when prices go back. So wouldn't it make sense certain coins are great for trading. But certain coins are horrible for trading? I don't really think there are many great coins to hold besides btc and ETH etc. Does anyone here agree/disagree with this? It seems like those altcoins that cost 25 dollars and less seem to be great options to buy during huge dips... then sell it once prices go back up but issue is you dont know how long it would take. However, when was the last time a top 50 coin fell all the way down to almost nothing. Does anyone know? It seems like any coin in the top 25 that isn't btc or eth would be great to buy during dips right? And it seems like during dips, doesn't it seem you could buy any altcoin in the top 25 since when btc goes up, all other altcoins seem to follow? And when btc goes down, all altcoins seem to follow? My thinking is during dips, it doesn't seem to really matter that much which altcoin you buy because when btc goes up, almost every altcoin does the same etc.
Does anyone here say certain coins are great to daytrade since they keep going from one price range to another price range but never gets higher than that? Like if a coin drops to 2 dollars, then it almost always seem to go back to 3 dollars. Thoughts on this?

I would say that you should hold coins with potential like ETH, ADA, NEO, EOS, QKC, IOTA and some others... And trade on coins like LTC, DOGE, XRP - look at their graphs, they are pumped and dumped periodically. There are many opportunities to trade here when you see the whole picture.
if you look at current market prices, I think it's better to be arrested. because if it's traded the results are also far from the sales target that I specified earlier.
For long-term trading I just hold Bitcoin. For altcoin for me, it is better to trade in the short term. Because altcoin is very risky to hold unless ETH and Waves.
Good one ! altcoin is just best for a short period of time to hodl,too many shitcoins out there that are not worth to hodl,for me coin to hodl for future are BTC and ETH.
There are decisive factors in two options. trading with graphics reading, research, analysis and crypto experience can be a more advantageous option. Holding long term also will provide much better advantage.
It's always better to invest your coins in projects like ETH Revolution, than to hold
