I would say that it should be the best if you ask me, I am sure that there could be some so called better strategies but all the other ones are definitely a way of just getting lucky, if you do anything but just "buy and hold" you are basically throwing in your risk out there and you are trying to get lucky, if you are lucky you could make more money and if you are not lucky you could end up losing money, but there is no way that there is an inherently better way to do it right now, all other ones are definitely just pure based on luck methods and I would rather not let luck decide on my investments.

Look at all those wall street people, they are not just guessing, they have a strict way of doing business and they are definitely sticking to it most of the time.

Some people say that Buy and Hold is the best strategy and can't be beaten. They hear phrases like “95% of traders lose money” and automatically assume that all trading is bad and markets can not be outperformed.

i dont consider those as a strategy but those are only basic or must do movements for someone that is involved on here  . a strategy to me means much more deeper than that like when creating an analysis or charts and alike  . most popular phrase on trading isnt all about loosing but its more of a profit. they say that trading is the most profitable among all activities on crypto  . that must be true because many people are pushing it  . there are bad approach on trading but this doesnt mean that all kinds of trading are now bad after that .
That is the basic and we should have to learn it before digging for another strategy that will work so great.
Honestly, people don't get mind if that is a genuine, old fashioned strategy or whatever it is, what most important is that they are making money from it and being comfortable of what they do.

Trading won't work that so well at first, patience is very important but somehow it didn't work for them. That is why a lot of people had tried to become a trader but after being disappointed and being hopeless, they all gone.

For people who didn't have expertise on daily trade like me , buy and hold is the best strategy in crypto space.
Because, if common people can not doing daily trade it will ended by liquid.
You have a point. Buying and holding is the best strategy for people who lack experience or are afraid to take a risk in cryptocurrency because it could still give a long-term profits. But if you are okay with the crypto market's risk and volatility, and willing to use most of your time to make an active or daily trade, it could work.

First you organize your capital, bankroll, call it however you like! It's before everything, you need to know what you have! It's foolish to think how traders trade with their entire capital, all in strategy is not a good strategy. When you have capital/bankroll, you need to learn how to manage it. Each of us holds crypto for long, has a wallet for that purpose. You trade to make more coins or to make more cash, and what you are going to do with your profit? Smart thing is to put something on a side coins or cash, it's up to you, and you hold it, and the part of the profit you can return to trading. Point is you hold and you trade with some part of your holding, you never risk all you have.

It is if you are not an experienced trader able to put aside emotions.
Market is extremely volatile so you need nerves to take profits in the green (sell the greed) and enter in the red (buy the fear), besides knowing when to just be cashed out, waiting for opportunities.

While day trading require less need to understand the fundamentals (deep understanding of the project), going through the details is required for long term hodling.
Many projects are solid and just need to be develop further to shine.

Day traders will rely more on technical analysis (charting) and instant signals (on-chain data, news, social media activity etc...)

Both of them have each own risk, I can't differentiate between of them are profitable. But I just thinking that you can choose them with depend on your style. You can choose hold, if you are the someone who didn't have much knowledge against technical analyst but you are good to analyst the fundamental factor. Maybe you don't need to make an analyst per day if you choose being a holder.

But, if you are the same who has good in technical analyst and you are not bored to make an analyst everyday then you can choose being a trader. Also it is depend on the coin that you choose as well, I still believe if bitcoin is safe for long term holding and for day trading but I don't know if you choose some altcoin out there especially new altcoin.

People who can't afford to trade will quite to use this old and easy strategy but its working. The lesser work, the lesser risk also.
If this will suites to you and this is only a thing you can afford off because you don't have enough time to trade, you better make a try. But somehow, not all holders have the patience that it makes a way that it never works for them. Trading, holding, and any form of investment will require this thing (patience) but very unfortunate that only a few have got this. Some quit and leave crypto, some did stay and changed their mindset.

It is you who can decide what strategy you applied, why not stick in simple buying and selling strategy if that is only you've got? It is very important to have in your comfort zone that pushing yourself.

It depends on the person's ability whether they have high knowledge and experience about cryptocurrency. If so, chances are buy and
hold is not the best strategy in crypto, because buy and hold is perfect for newbies who have low knowledge of crypto. If we are professional
traders the best strategy in my opinion is scalping by taking profit almost every day with a small percentage.

When it comes to the crypto market I personally don't think there is a best strategy out there as it will always depend on the trader doing it and if he has the time to do this. Yeah buy and hold in your results might look like the worst thing to do and there will be no analysis involve but some people here don't have the time to have their own trading style that's why they are doing it due to lack of time and knowledge with TA. Hodlers still have a chance to maximize their profits by just waiting for the right time to buy rather than just buying right away (I'm referring to DCA).

Buy and hold is good for people that have money not for beginners that measure or scales their money before coming out.
A process were by you  buy and hold in your account you will also make a profit,because when such coin raises it will increase in your wallet and when it decreases it will also fall in your account.
And their is hope or evidence that showing that your coin is there, so this is a little difference exist in between buy hold and buy and invest.

It may not be the best strategy at all, you may find much better strategies in the crypto world, however nobody can deny that it is by far the simplest strategy that will make you a profit. We are talking about just "buy bitcoin and hold", it really doesn't get any simpler than that at all.

Definitely there could be things that can 2x or even 10x profit you compared to regular holding, but you will need to risk a lot more, you need to study and learn a lot more, you need to go up and down a lot more and basically work really really hard for it in order to get it. However in "buy and hold" strategy there is nothing you need to do, you simply just wait around, you can go about with your life and not even worry or check the price neither, just forget the investment for few years.
I totally agree with you mate. Buying and holding  is not the best strategy but surely the simplest one. Even if you are new to the market then also this strategy can provide you with decent returns. You just need to buy at a low or an affordable price and hold until you feel that the price is right to sell.
I think if you are experienced enough, have thorough knowledge of the market, are familiar with the up's and down's and are daring enough then day to day trading can be even more profitable for you than long term investments.

HODL is a long term investment, certainly one of the best strategies...
buying and HODL your coins are not bad when you don't have the skills, patience, and accuracy to do day trading. don't force yourself to be something you are not good at like being a day trader.

If you are newbie and do not have much time to research and follow projects, the best option is to hodl.
The truth is that by trading you can make more profit as well as collect more coins if you know what to do.
But you can also lose, so I think the best strategy for a newbie is to buy and hodl.

Trading is profitable and day trading is more profitable than anything in this world so day trader are supposed to be the richest people of this world but what is the reality? Long term holders are the one making the profits in reality because it is not possible to make money constantly from trading so the net profits at the end of years will not be equals to the profits made from simply holding.
actually there are some traders that still profiting in this market constantly mate,they are those traders that focuses in their trading skills and becomes very knowledgeable now.
If they are saying like that means they are lying no one can keep making profits from crypto trading constantly, unless they are long term traders where the profit is realistic but not going to match the level of constant earning from day trading...

Buying and hold are just an alternative of day trading. There are still risks when you buy and hold it for how many days/months/years.
If you also planning to sell what you bought before, it's still trading but it's just really takes too much time, compared to day trading which for me there is much more risk compared to buying and holding it for a long time.

That's right, you need to make your asset move so that it will not just stay like that.

Don't waste the opportunity to make it grow, but of course, you need to deal with those risks in trading.

Buying and holding technique is good which makes you secured and play safe. If you are scared to deal with the possibilities of losing and winning, then just hold. But for me, day trading will probably help you to make it bloom once you are doing your thing, if you are in a good path in your trading journey.

I never thought that Hodl is the best strategy, I only see it as the easiest and that’s what I recommend that most people do, because trading can be difficult, not everybody can do the hard work it takes to predict price movements and some people sucks much in technical analysis, so no.

Day trading or margin trading might be a better option if the trader is really good to the level of being professional that they can predict the prices most of the times, if not, you’re just going to keep losing everyday and before you could realize what’s happening, you have lost more than half the money  you’re trading with. Better to do what’s best for you.

In my Medium post, I’m going to show you, that holding might not be the best option if you put in a little bit of work. To do that, I compare Buy and Hold returns for 25 coins with several basic trend-following strategies in different time periods (over 3.5 years of data and then a little extra).

READ THE POST HERE!

The source code of strategies and raw test results (CSV) is pushed to my

Let me know what you think! Thanks!


I think buying and holding strategy is only applicable who has enough money so that if they hold there would be no affect in their daily life. But those who has limited amount of money or coin there must be a problem. In my experience maximum are small amount investors so my suggestion is always for trading.

Yes, trading is not perfect for all those who are newbie there i will say please read and research market more and more so that you will be good trader slowly. Only keep your eyes on update and follow the market. you will be successful.

thanks.

Actually, "buy and hold" is a strategy used for stocks because there are dividends every year.
As this does not exist with cryptocurrency we cannot use this strategy.
Except if you lend your crypto with interests and you withdraw interests.

If you buy and sell every hour, every day or every decade, this is not "buy and hold", this is trading.
Who told you that "Buy and Hold " is Only for Stocks?
"Buy and is a strategy used for stocks" does not mean "buy and hold" is only for stocks.
It means that this strategy is used for stocks.

Quote
mind to explain what can you say for those Who Buy Bitcoin in March when the price falls $4,000 and had sell their coins last week when the price of this coin Reached out $12,300? does Holding is not profitable in this market?
If you buy at 4 and if you sell at 12.3, this is profitable, for sure.
What I say is this is a trading operation.
Long term trading is not holding.
