When I tried to explore trading industry rather than gambling i thought it was going to the moon, I tried trading on coinut since i don't have much money to play in big trade, I am only a small scale trader, at first things go well, converting to other coins, and trade it with bitcoin. but since crypto was so volatile during the latter days, trading was a regret for me, no statistics to display and i don't read regarding to pump and dump so it was all of a sudden. Holding was my only best option. while day trading gives me heart broken every time, the redflags wave.
However, when you are professional on trading you can be sitting pretty.
Firstly, why do you make gambling as if you would have the same character as trading? Actually it is really different IMO. Gambling has it own rule, you can rely on for at least 30% in your strategy to gain profit. But if you become a trader and you will have a chance for at least 80% in your strategy to gain profit through it.
Secondly, may I know your knowledge against trading bitcoin especially how your strategy when you start trading. For those trader who have knowledge and an experience to trade they will not say that holder is the best option but they will say trade and being a holder is the best option depend on the market situation. I mean they will use hold and trading simultaneously.
