If you’re confident that the cryptocurrency you chose to invest in are long-term winners and just want to invest, HODL could be a good option. The thing is, when go for long term investment you have to go big also, to get reasonable profit and that increases your risk at the same time. You can wait as long as you want to but risk still will be there existing.
If you have enough spare time to invest, gain sizable returns in a short period of time, and confidence in your ability to analyze, then trading in short term better choice. You can day trade in small amounts gain experience and knowledge with little risk. Only thing you need is time actually, but you can minimize this disadvantage in a great way with automated trading.
This is why if you choose to go with the strategy of holding your coins you make sure that you pick a good coin, and in this market it is clear which is the best coin we can pick and that is bitcoin, there are other coins that are good but that have nowhere the long term potential of bitcoin.
Which is why when I see a newbie claiming that he is holding his coins for the long term but he decided to pick an altcoin no one has ever heard I try to open their eyes to the point holding only works if the coin you selected has a high chance of surviving for many years which as we know this is not the case for the majority of the altcoins in the market.
Its a gamble when someone do chose some alts to be hold in future years to come and as said, not all would really have the capability to rise up its price in the future because it will all vary with the demand and support of from the community.Buy and Hold might be just too basic to be heard of but it doesn't mean that this will be good for all coins for you to apply on.I do only consider Bitcoin and ETH and some top alts which are really worth to hold on and the rest is just really not included into my consideration, maybe there are some coins which I do saw underrated at the moment but it is
really indeed a gamble if you do make out such decisions.Also, holding for too long isn't really my forte yet im not really that patient enough to wait up for long to see some profits after that.
Its better to have some active trading instead.
