How much in percentage of your total bitcoin do you allot or invest to trade? Is it like 50% hold and 50% invest in tradings or how do you go about it?
Is it wise to invest all your 100% bitcoin in trading if you feel it is the right opportunity?

I think 50% for trading investment and 50% to hold a good idea,
even though we have a good chance in trading but I think it is not right if all the assets we have entered into trading investment, because to anticipate if trading activity loss.

Even you feel the right opportunity dont really let your emotions do push you to go 100% and its always self to save some incase and unexpected things to happen since we do all know that all things doesnt have an assurance that it would go as we planned. Only spend on the amount you can afford to lose and making partitions or diversification is always advisable no matter how potential does a coin have.

I do about 50/50 trading and holding. Some of the holdings I lend to make a little extra. It just depends on your strategy and whether you are looking for long term or short term profits.

Well you should only risk as much you can afford to lose really. Higher capital always comes with higher profits but you can lose a bigger chunk as well. If you feel comfortable and are able to afford the loss, go all in. If not don't.

i think i use only 40%-45% from the total of bitcoin i have because for me its better to use small percentage to trading altcoin-bitcoin so i still have most bitcoin in my account. beside that, if the bitcoin price is getting increase, i can sell it to make profit in fiat amount so i can buy bitcoin again if the price is getting down like yesterday. i think its not wise to invest all of our bitcoin to trading because we still need bitcoin in our account for another urgent that we could have in future. or we can buy back if the coins is suddenly gets down too deep.

Well I always I would say about 30% investment in trading and 70 percent to hold,
Since I am getting some alt coin in doing some campaigns like signature and social media campaigns.

So I trade altcoins daily I'm "gambling" less then 5% of my crypto and hope to reduce that.

The game of trading and gambling is the same but when you have absolutely no proper / authenticate method to earn from the gambling, the other one i.e - trading gives more opportunities to earn profits through scientific research and proper entry/exit points. I used to spend my funds on gambling when I was new to cryptocurrencies but then I somehow reduced it to 0 and today I either spend 20% / 30% in trading and rest in investing or allocate the whole portion to investing.

I only invest 2% of my whole BTC BR at first and then if the price drops 50% ( of what I bought ) then I will buy the same amount of coins again and sell when I get atleast 25% profit on whole.
For ex:
Buy 1000 units at 100 sats
Buy 1000 units if price drops to 50 sats
Average is 75 now and I will sell all 2000 units when the price reaches 85 .

I'm doing the same thing too. I always don't go all in so that if the coin I just bought will dump I still have more btc to buy again. I think averaging is the best and safest strategy in trading.

I think there are two good rules of thumb to go for:

1- Only what you can afford to loose when trading in high riske, high volatility assets.
2- About 10% of you investments should be on high risk high volatility aasets.

Then after you decide the amount you should diversify. From my experience sometimes i go all in some asset or coin and if it comes down you are more pressure to sell in a loss if you want to keep trading. so i would diversify for sure so if im bagholding something i just keep it and keep trading with the rest so i dont trade ina loss to many times

There's no specific amount to be able to trade. Just trade that you can afford to lose as also. It's just like gambling but trading is much more profitbale than gambling. But in trading if you have big capital then you will have big profit results. Also big lose if yoy spot a wrong trade.

No, I usually not going to used all of my fund to do trading, I keep small portion to invest, if I am very sure then I will put 75% to trade, because trading is a speculation so not everything can works as we predicted, so better take precaution to lower the risk of losing all of the money

Well what you said is right that in trading its not a guarantee of returns but yes chances are better to make profits. Also on other hand it will depend upon what amount you start with trading is it 100, 500, 1000$ etc. Accordingly risk proportion increases or decreases.

There is never a gurantee in trading. uncertainty is a natural part of trading. Trading wouldnt even exist without uncertainty because uncertainty is what provides us with profit opportunities. For me putting more than 50% of my capital to use for speculation is too risky. I generally have 75% invested for the long run and the rest I use to speculate.

Well there are people whonwould prefer to be safe and then there are those that go yolo for short term profits. I agree with you about having more btc for keeping and using jusr a quarter for trades though i'll be less conservative than you as 50/50 would already be a decent percentage for me when it comes to what to do with. And none for gambling definitely.

It is very difficult to make any forecasts in any given activity. For each user there is an individual approach. Like trading and investing in other words, one can say that someone can well cope with one task that is too much for another, so if there is knowledge in the trade, then it is not necessary to undertake investment.

I will trade with my 100% of the Bitcoin , but still I will reduce the amount of the Bitcoin for the trading , if I will get another real investment options in the practical , because offline business are long lasting then online .
Since we have much trust with the Bitcoin so I will use my whole money for the trading , Currently my total investment in the Bitcoin trading is about 1.3+BTC , that is much amount of the Bitcoin according to my level of the richness .
But currently in these days I am withdrawing my Bitcoin because of the pending descion of the legal , regulate , observe as earlier .
So I have much faster that what will happen if it declared to it is illegal and they can it .

I often do for 50% investment, and 50% survive, because what, if 50% I invested losses, I still have 50% that I'm sure it can go up.

For me, I will only trade money that I can afford to lose. Trading is risky specially for newbie like me, but since I want this "job" i started doing it. But I only trade small so that risk is also small as well and I only put money that I can afford to lose so that I will not get disappointed or get frustrated if I lose my money.
