Initially before this forum , I was active in trading crypto which sometimes my analysis will enter for me and I will make some money and at a point the phobia of loss enveloped my thought and I stopped trading crypto because of series of losses but when I joined the forum ( bitcointalk) I read a thread that talked about patience and that all the newbies should Hodl coins instead of trading and that they should go through what the high ranked members post before making their own post and after going through series of threads I decided to read as much as I can and to hodl as much as I can and now all my technical analysis are going towards my direction and the chances of loss has reduced however, I thank all the High ranked members for their advice and at the same time , I urge all the newbies to be patient enough to read more post before posting.
Holding is better and less risky for crypto beginners than engaging in trading, but I don't advise you to leave one for the other, trading can make you a whole lot of money too, the longer you remain a trader the more you will be good at it, so don't leave trading, keep holding your favorite digital assets but also keep improving your trading skills.
Trading is harder and time-consuming, but you can skip all the stressful parts and go for better trading tools instead of trying to do everything yourself, there are tools for buying and selling online, it will cost you some money but it will also pay off.
Nothing comes easily, to even be a successful crypto holder you must know where to invest your money and this doesn't just happen, you need to know how to pick good crypto projects, which is also risky, but it should be easier than trading for anyone serious about knowing how to identify a good project out of dozens of other bad projects.
