Original Topic: Trade vs. HODL - avoid trapsAuthor:1miau
After all, We know say bitcoin get value well well, so we go need safe guard am and even if e fit dey possible self make we increase weytin we dey hold but if we wan do like that ba, Make we dey sure say we don avoid plenty traps wey dey.
One of this plenty traps na to fall for
misconception e mean say make we no get wrong idea on how we go take increase the gain wey we dey get from trading our Bitcoin for better way.
Trade vs. HODLBitcoin's fundamentals make am not comparable to HODL because Bitcoin’s supply dey limited to 21M units itself. By HODLing, Bitcoin go fit increase likely in value long-term and HODLing na our safest way to dey make profit. Risk dey low and e go likely succeed.
But we go dey patient and e go dey helpful and dey safe for long-term gains instead wey you go rush am and the profit no go dey secure.
Technical analysis dey riskySome people don dey talk am say, to dey trade through technical analysis na e be better and obonge way to take make money na lie because e dey very very risky, especially for short terms (day trading). if them go fit predict technical analysis, e for dey easy to take credit, give am to expert person wey don they for this business and e go get gain.
Dey careful make you no go fall for that kind thing, na scam!
Because if technical analysis na better way to take get gain , everybody for don turn to millionaires. Coder for don code all these "technical analysis patterns" make them fit trade according to them. That type of program no dey exist because
e no dey work. Them no fit predict technical analysis and e no dey reproduce better thing.
Like xkcd explain am: technical analysis dey more like a pseudo science:
https://xkcd.com/2101/HODL instead! When we dey HODLing, we de take advantage of Bitcoin scarcity. Bitcoin dey limited to 21 M
BTC. and every 210,000 blocks, block rewards (for people wey de mine) e go con dey like say dey don cut away some parts, e go dey reduce new issued unit of Bitcoin go be like every 4 years. By HODLing, we just de take advantage from Bitcoin scarcity because Bitcoin na something wey dey good to dey save. E fit dey easy to disappear for Bitcoin price but as plenty people dey wey them get to hold, we go dey see say the price don dey better and e don dey more stable-Demand go dey increase for Bitcoin even more as a store of value.
E fit take some years before we go fit see some better gain as per say Bitcoin price don de move for cycle for over 4years now but as e be like this HODLing don prove say e de reliable (and e go make Bitcoin no disappear like dat again).
tl;dr:
Better HODL, don't trade!
