Holders and traders have some differences and also have a similarities. I'd say they have difference since holders could've make us earn profits or lose, while in trading you are the one who sets your price on what you trade. Their similarities are that they may brought you profits and also they may brought you deficits.
So, which one would you like more? trade or hold coins?
we know everything is at risk. but everyone also knows how crypto assets around the world are the riskiest investment assets. but everyone likes it. because it can benefit from many things.
I myself changed my strategy following the market trend.
when in correction I will wait for the best price for me and buy some assets. long-term hold or short-term does not matter, it all depends on our analysis of each asset.
but when in bull momentum, I would prefer to trade following the market hype. it's a big risk but if we get the momentum that is always right, the profits will continue to flow for you.
