Topic: Hodling vs trading - page 2. (Read 1549 times)

Obviously holders have a long time preference and traders are trying to get rich quick. The crazy thing is that even knowing Bitcoin is the greatest performing asset in human history, people still want to trade it instead of holding it. Even with all the billionaires holding has created and all the people who lost everything trading, people still think they’re going to trade themselves to wealth, missing out on doing so by not holding.

I guess it's not easy to hold as long as you would stay realistic that you'll not expect you'll make a decent return in a short period of time.

When we are "HODLING", this implies that we are up to the long term game, so patience is very important in this journey because without it, we might feel the unsatisfation of waiting and could even result to panic if we witness a market dump and we didn't realize it's a normal thing for bitcoin and in the crypto market as a whole.

They keyword here is "HODL'..... Follow the meaning of that and you'll succeed.

People contradict trading and holding of coin or bitcoin, both things is of different things and I believe that when you are holding a coin is totally different from someone who is trading, in trading you can lose thousands and millions of dollars within short intervals whereas for holding for long term whenever the coin or market is bad to the extent that its depreciating in value you will notice instantly and you can equally convert it to a stablecoins so that you will not lose much, some people taught that holding of a coin and trading of a coin is the same thing but they don't know that they are totally a different thing.

if i had to choose between hodling and trading, i would prefer hodling because it is much easier to hodling compared to trading which requires in-depth analysis of the market. with hodling i can use the dca method which allows me to invest in bitcoin with lower capital and hold it for a longer period of time and sell it at the right time.

hodling also doesn't require a lot of time in analysis like trading because all you need is a wallet to store bitcoin. and i can manage my investments whenever i want. so for someone like me, hodling is better than trading.

I have bought bitcoin and held it for a long time as well as I am involved in trading so both are acceptable to me. If a person feels that he will be satisfied with a small profit and he will buy or sell any coin according to the market, then trading is fine for him, but those who expect more profit will definitely prefer to invest for a long period of time. I think everyone should have a long term investment, if they can afford it then make a long term plan accordingly hold a coin and with some more money a person can trade if they want. If you have a good idea about trading, maybe it is possible to meet your needs with the money gained from trading, but if you invest for a long time, that investment has the potential to change our life.

It is a matter of choice and again actually but I look at the one that is less risky many will choose holding and I will also choose holding anytime any day it is good to take risk but you trade if you have ideas and your ready to take risk then trading is the right choice then, if it comes to that case then before putting or depositing your money you need to read the terms and conditions first before you will end up not having access to your money.

Investing or trading is thing of choice , the reason why people will always prefer hodling than trading is because trading us more risky than hodling.  In hodling what you just need to do is to understand the market  understanding the market is the only way people can make profit  from Bitcoin.  Learning trading is very broad , a lot of things needs to be known to make trading perfect and to get a better result from it. Because of the low risk when investing bitcoin people prefer hofling than trading.

I do both. I think both come in handy but it depends on how strategic you could make it be. I hold for a long-term future. Then trade to gain some profit. In the process of trading and maybe the market seems to be volatile I usually use Dual Investment to get it done in other not to risk it

A secure wallet is of course essential for investing in Bitcoin. 
When you buy Bitcoin the first thing you need is a secure wallet where your funds will be kept safe.
Money is the most important thing you must have for trading and investing, without money you can never invest. So for holding and trading or investing you need to save money first and buy bitcoins later. Then if you have bitcoins you can hold them for a long time and profit from them in the future.
When storing your bitcoins in a secure wallet, you must store them in a hardware or software wallet. Your bitcoins will be safe when you use these wallets. Moreover, if you want to keep your funds safe, you must keep your wallet keys in a safe place so that there is no chance of being hacked.

Even though they are similar but they are not one and if it is to choose one, many of us will choose hodling and as you said, hodling is stress free while trading is stressful because you will be on the device to check the movement of the trade. investing in bitcoin also have a limit of deposit and withdrawal. There are some wallet that you hodle your bitcoins, you can not deposit or withdraw below $2 as bitcoin. So both has disadvantage and advantages.

There is no loss in holding because the price of Bitcoins falls below the value of the investment but it recovers again. But this requires patience. If you patiently hold for long term, you will definitely get profit from there. However, this patience is not shared by everyone and failure to hold long-term results in a bad experience with Bitcoin. And those who can hold it successfully are sure to profit.

A person who trades regularly and has no plans to hold should use a centralized exchange to trade smoothly. And if one intends to hold then a good Decentralized wallet should be used to hold long term Bitcoins. in this case Electrum Bitcoin Wallet is more comfortable to use and secure.

I also believe that holding will bring better returns than trading, but because people are so impatient, they turn to trading, especially futures trading. But most will get disastrous results, but the sadder thing is that many people still don't realize it, many people still rush into futures trading in the hope of making quick profits with huge leverage.

As we have seen, we have seen many people become rich through bitcoin, most of them are long term holders, I have not seen anyone become rich through day trading or futures trading with bitcoin. That is the clearest evidence of holding an edge over trading.

Hodling and trading has always been a debate in the Bitcoin crypto space.Are they different? Of course yes.Hodling is a term used to describe owning Bitcoin in a wallet especially for a long period of time.While trading on the other hand refers to the selling and buying of Bitcoin through an exchange.
 Both Hodling and trading have some similarities such as ;

1. The use of wallets to store Bitcoin.
2. For both trading or hodling to be possible you must own Bitcoin. Although trading requires a minimum amount of coins, hodling does not.
3. Both require you to understand how to secure your coins to avoid hacks or loss of funds.

Nevertheless, despite these similarities hodling and trading are also distinct this is due to the fact that hodling is usually long termed ( hodling appreciates better during long term.) however trading returns come from short term fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin.Due to the uniqueness of Bitcoin,some  persons tend to choose hodling over trading due to some advantages such as;

1. Ease ; hodling Bitcoin saves you the stress of understanding marketing strategies and little price fluctuations As you only store the Bitcoin in your wallet without transacting.(successful trading requires constant research and experience)

2. Transaction Costs ; Hodling comes with a lower transaction cost which is from depositing the Bitcoin in your wallet. However trading incures cost due to frequent transactions especially when the network is congested.

3. Long-Term  Gains ;Over time Bitcoin  has shown promising potential in it's price.Hodling  helps you benefit from the long term potential of Which in most cases appreciates better than little price gains from trading.

4. Security; Hodling your Bitcoin gives you a better option of making use of offline wallets such as air gapped wallets or hardware wallets,As they deem more secure than online wallets
 
With all these being  said it is important to note that hodling shitcoin is not advisable due to their exponentially high volatility which may lead to severe loss if not properly managed.
Trading and hodling is always a choice as they indirectly serve as balance to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Don't forget to keep your keys safe 😁

Holding is just keeping our assets in a secure manner and making use of it after specific time period or waiting for particular price to be reached. With trading there is a need of regular market watching and we need to make better prediction so to increase the chance of making profit. With holding we won't learn anything about the market, whereas the money into trading will give us learning about the market. We know much about the price movement and based on the same we can extend the holding time period. So, atleast small amount need to be involved into trading in my view.
