Having seen the massive rise of cryptocurrency prices in the previous year, I have seen that if one gets a coin at the right time and holds it before the prices pumps up, there would be huge gains. But then, the frequent bearish attitudes of the markets also affords one some gains.
Among these two strategies, which is better and which d you recommend?

Now is the time to buy bitcoin and just hold your stock when you buy it, and wait for the price become high again. Because the price value of bitcoin right now is just too little I think many traders are going to buy stock no and hold in a wallet I'm sure

I will not recommend anything since you are the one who will try to find what is your winning strategy. Some people bags profit only by holding. Some people also earned a lot by trading. Overall, they are both effective strategy. But how do they do that? It's matter of trading test and ability to face all the associated risks the moment they put money on crypto. Since experienced build them, they now know how to deal with the volatility on the way. Yes they still experiences losses but overall, they already gained a good winning stats.

Like I said, you must find your winning strategy in order to win. It will not give you an always win but surely you will have a wonderful winning stats if you play it right. Holding and trading are simple terms but needs some good recipes in order to make a good output.

If I prefer HOLD because trading is always involved risk between profit and loss. I do not like to take risks like that, because every transaction there must be such a risk. I also do not like analysis and do many research. I also do not like to learn about trading and always update information about it. But actually HOLD can also be said trading. If we buy and collect a certain amount of cryptocurrency, then sell at a high price, I guess it can also be called the same as trading. However there are short and long term trading, as well as HOLDING. If I am currently doing a long-term HOLD with Bitcoin and Ethereum. I guess it could also be called long-term trading.

Both are actually good but at this moment trading will not give so much profit since the value of coins are quite fluctuating but on a lower range of amounts I think holding for at least 2 months will be a good idea because I believe that the value of coins especially bitcoin will pump and may reach a new high record. Still you can choose to trade but not too many coins better choose at least two or three like ethereum and litecoin.

Both are same better hold a potential coins and if you want a instant profit you must choose a trade, but it's too risky.
If you are knowledgeable and have a skills you will get a huge profits.

if ypu dont have an idea on how trading is you better hold your bitcoin and go with the flow with the price , but if you are good in trading go with it because you can earn in trading that you cant earn in just holding bitcoins.

'Hold or Trade' this is a very important strategy for a trader, and this is the best way I've ever done. Currently bitcoin prices are falling (stable position), ie $ 14095. You should make a purchase, to add the amount of bitcoin available, because I see there will be a bitcoin price development in early February.

You shouldn't 100% hold or 100% trade your portfolio. The best way to manage your portfolio is to diversify using pyramid scheme. Most of your portfolio, say like 40%, must be hold in a stable coin, like BTC or ETH. Moving up, 20% of your portfolio is for long term altcoin hold/trade. And the top of the pyramid should be for trading shitcoin, expecting 10x or 100x Cheesy

There's a lot of way to do this, but in general that's how it should work.

It all depends on the distance and the methods used. If you are an expert in arbitrage that to a profit from the hold you easily add a profit from the trading.

It depends upon the coin. If the coin is pump and dump type I would prefer trading for quick gains but if coin is backed by serious team and project is good, I would prefer holding.

It depends upon the persons risk level. Some people trade b/c they do not want to hold the asset long when it drops >10%, 20%, 30%+. They see it as loosing money and the asset may not return to those levels for quite some time if ever. (In the conventional stock market, the company can go bankrupt and the investor will get nothing back).

If one believes that the blockchain technology is the latest generation of money/Internet, holding long is probably the way to go for most people. If you look at the history over the last 2 years, that was a successful strategy. Most people also do not have the time to watch the charts all day long and execute a trade, especially if someone is working full time! (like me)...

You can also see the market is very stable, the value of bitcoin and other altcoin has a small fluctuation range, so in this moment you should keep the coin you are investing. Do not worry about your property because the market is waiting for new impetus from investors, perhaps they are more cautious with the cryptocurrency market after a very successful 2017 of this market.

If you’ve been in bitcoin for a few years, then you know how volatile the price can be. Bitcoin’s had several bubbles. The beautiful thing is that, so far, after every bubble price has recovered and made a new higher high. So yes, in theory, if you time it right (which is very hard to do), and buy on panics and hold long-term you’d have made great returns.

I don't hold many coins but I trade everyday almost, holding can give us good income but we need to be a bit patients because its asking time, maybe even several years.
In the other way, trading is giving us fast results and earnings, despite its high risks. So personally I prefer trading.

I also prefer trading because the value of coins is always changing and you have a chance to earn a big profit in a short period of time just by trading it because the value of this coin is rising as well as your amount of holding even it is a high risk many people earn a big income in that way.

I've tried both and the majority of my profits have come from holding

Its hard but most definitely the best way in my opinion.

For those who trade daily or on medium/longer (week&month) time frames, how many trades on average do you execute in a week/do you try to limit yourselves at all?
Also, how do you guys balance your portfolio? Hard to tell what a good number of altcoins is to distribute between so that things remain manageable...

It all depends on one mindset, approach and one's expectation from the market. If you are expecting a big returns from the market with lesser amount of investment then go for investing the cryptocurrency and hold them at least for few months to year so that you get bigger returns like 20x to 50x and otherwise if you are just expecting small returns every week or month then go trading the crypto coins with a good trading strategy and rock-solid money Management plan. You can go with whatever you like or suits you.

For me holding played out far better up to today than trading. Plus, the downside of plenty of swaps of coins is, that once a cryptocoin you held shoots up, you will have this very guilty feeling: Why the heck did I sell this coin?! Happened to me more than once. Of course, not every trading decision you make is a bad one, but the mistaken can easily add up.

If you ever intend to trade seriously you need to learn to dismiss such thoughts from your mind. If you can trade successfully it will always work out better than holding but the distinction comes from the 'successfully' part. Many people will lose money trading as they can't be successful at it and so would be better off holding.

Holding is for long term usually, while trading is for short and long term. The best choice is doing both to get the maximum earning. I personally hold some powerful coins like BTC and ETH, and I trade tokens and some other coins with small value daily almost. This way I am earning good income and reserving some money for the future.
