Don't trade on Binary that's too risky it is not the same as spot trading it is gambling if you fail to predict the price movement all of the amount you bet will be lost compared to spot trading you can only lose some percentage of your current crypto amount you trade.
Buying Bitcoin while holding it is way safer if you compare it with Binary trade but take note Bitcoin is very volatile anytime the value can drop or increase. Hence, it's not advisable if you don't know when to invest in Bitcoin to hold long term. However, since block halving is coming for me the current price is still a good price to invest in Bitcoin and hold until the end of block halving this April we might see a new ATH this coming June or July.
The right term is Binary Options and it actually IS gambling in the context that such "financial instruments" shouldn't be offered in exchanges. They should be offered in casinos, where they should probably belong.
OP can you trade? Because a professional trader wouldn't ask for public opinion on whether to trade or not. Watching YouTube videos and practicing on demo accounts isn't the same as trading live accounts. Trading may seem appealing because of the profits that can be made but there is also high risk of losing money. Holding Bitcoin for long term is a safer option for a beginner.
It should be said that 90% of "traders" lose money, and the traders that profit consistently are probably NOT gambling in Binary Options.
OP, choosing between Buy and Hold, and Binary Options is not a dillema. The answer is very obvious.
