Holding. It's a lot simpler, I try to collect as much as I can on whatever project I like, mainly bitcoin of course but could be any token really and in the end I keep having a good return without a doubt. Holding is simpler and gives me a decent return, without holding then I would have to work a lot more towards tokens and learning how to trade them and what are ups and what are downs and what's the potential and charts and indicators, all of those end up being a lot of work and I do not really feel like I would like to make that work any other way.

I prefer to hold because that is a lot better and the return is greater in the end. We shouldn't really be focusing on what could be traded, because if a project is good then it should have good future and holding will be enough.

Happy for your green PNL, next time just don't think about what "could" be done, think about what "can" be done to see your portfolio in a better shape.
I think you will have lots of opportunities for it during this cycle. Good luck!
I think there is no big difference of using those words because there is still a chance that we won't do the thing that we are planning. Instead, it's better to say that we should not think in advance or think about the negative that can happen because that can only prevent us from doing the thing that we are planning to do. The market is getting better and better again, so yeah that there are plenty of opportunities lying around or are waiting for us if we are a hodler. We shouldn't waste this because scenarios like this are rare. Aside from the bull market, another thing that is rare is seeing the price to rise without experiencing a major correction.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
Bitcoin during this bullrun is still HODL.

Some altcoins are still trading but not too seriously but I only look when there is more positive news, such as Dev HBAR becoming a candidate for the SEC makes this token rise through and here I just take advantage of the hype.

One more thing, I trade on memecoin like gambling, not much capital trying with $20 on memecoin still looking for luck including hockey, yes of course I do a little analysis that I have.

As an example I hold an altcoin that went from £0.006 to £0.02 in just 3 days last week which is a 235% increase. It is now back down to £0.012 so I'm thinking i could have sold around £0.02 and bought back in around £0.012 to increase my holding.

What does everywhere prefer to do in bull run, trade or just hold and wait for peak months of bull run to sell?


Trading is hard, so it's better to hold and wait in this bull run, we're sure of getting massive or reasonable returns on investment, depending on your capital and when you started holding. When holding, what you should be speculating on is when we'll hit the peak of bull run, so that you can sale and take profit if you want to. Altcoins are very volatile, they can give you quick profits on the short term and you can also lose your funds, most of them are gamble. But I'll recommend Bitcoin any day, if you don't want high risks of altcoins, it's better to hodl Bitcoin for your peace of mind. Most people are speculating Bitcoin price to exceed $100k at the peak, so  if you're going by that, then it's not too late to accumulate your bag before ROI at the peak.

Not only have they increased a lot in a short time, but they have also come back down around 50% after making such moves so wondering should we be trading right now to make the most of the volatility?

So many coins have also dropped like that and leaving hodlers in the same wonder like you. That is the way the crypto market is. It is rise and fall but you have to identify where the bull is because it will later go back up or go back down depending   Grin

Just like everyone would love to cash on the profit but no one is sure if it will fall immediately after taking the profit or if it will keep rising after it. My suggestion is to set your price where you like to take your gain so that you are happy when you reach it and exit.

Hodl hodl and hodl until it gets to your target point. During the bull if you sell you may not buy cheap again or you buy the falling knife  Grin

The best & safest method of making money in crypto is to buy with everything you can during bear markets & sell when we are in peak bull markets. Even better, if you’re aboe to is buy during a bear market & hold for many years before selling to maximise gains. Actively day trading can be profitable but comes with a lot more risk.

Yes , so far i bought in bear market and am now just holding until bull run peak months next year.

Part of me wants to try trading though so i may start with a small amount to see how i get on with it as it is a lot riskier than just waiting for bull run pump.

I have been in crypto a few years and up till now I have just bought and held but have noticed in the last week or so now that the bull run is here and the overall feeling seems to be a lot better that a few of my altcoins have gone up anywhere from 50% to 250% in a matter of days.

Not only have they increased a lot in a short time, but they have also come back down around 50% after making such moves so wondering should we be trading right now to make the most of the volatility?

Sincerely for altcoin holding I wouldn't give you that go ahead order to hold because as you see them they are so volatile in a way that you can easily lose them away, but if by holding bitcoin for long term then it's fine you can hold and also keep applying DCA to increase your holding volumes. But if by holding altcoin you may not know the strength of the community or projects owner what they had in mind.

What everyone here is looking at in the altcoins is profit maximisation, so what should have been done is take profit and if you prefer to reinvest then you do that. the volatility IMO is to be profitable.

Perhaps you lost the opportunity but you could still do it again once there is a greenish move in the altcoin market.

I might do so next time, my only worry is that I take profit but then it just keeps pumping and then i cant buy back in.

You either take and get some, or you get almost nothing.
It's better to lock onto what you gained than to wish for more.
Don't mourn, cherish it.

Yep, with another coin or just a big one - doesn't really matter as long as the sentiment is still there and BTC DOM would be low for that to happen.

I prefer to buy before everyone is bullish and wait for the opportunity to strike. Mainly - BTC with some alts alongside it.
This time it was Trump who pushed the cogs forward, next time it may be something different - the result would be the same.
So, it's just about the analysis and patience put into place regarding the holding.
About trading - I tried to flip a meme or two recently, but it didn't end up well, albeit I tried it only with $10 or so.
