For some reason, my friends always say that daily trading carries a much greater risk than trading for a longer period and there is no free time because of this. In addition, I want to pay tribute that it is day trading that gives the best income, but will have to take more risks. I have not tried using day trading yet, but I want to learn and gain some experience using YouTube video examples.
Lol, I would not say that day trading alone gives more result, it is the amount you out in investment that yields more result, it is not every day that most trader will tell you that they make enough profit because they put little amount to trade, if you really want to enjoy day trading, you have to be able to trade with big amount of money, or if you are the type that knows how to leverage, you can make bigger profit with little money, but the risk that is involved like you said is the problem.
Day trading is just too risky for me, and I will rather prefer to be a holder than to be a day trader. Holding is less risky and as the price of the coin you are holding grows, your own investment also grows without putting much effort other than the initial effort of buying and selling and the initial stage.
Holding your coins brings a lot of problems as well especially in this market, it is obvious that such a tactic can be very effective if you select the right coin, the benefits that you can get are incredible and the amount of effort that you need to put into it is in fact very low, but the good news ends there, selecting the right coin in which to invest your money is by far the most problematic aspect of investing in the market of cryptocurrencies.
Many people talk about the early investors of bitcoin and how much money they had made and that is true but there is only one bitcoin and unless you invested back in the day then those kind of gigantic profits are not possible right now in bitcoin, so you need to look at other coins if you want those kind of profits and when so many of them are scams this is a very risky strategy.
