better to hold for a while but we benefit from selling at times like this. the buy sell is very risky with an unstable price.but for those who are not patient, prefer to trade because they want to profit quickly.

Trading or HODL

The goal of most investors generally is to buy low and sell high. This can result in two quite different approaches to equity investing.

One approach is described as "trading." Trading involves following the short-term price fluctuations of different stocks closely and then trying to buy low and sell high. Traders usually decide ahead of time the percentage increase they're looking for before you sell (or decrease before they buy).

While trading has tremendous potential for immediate rewards, it also involves a fair share of risk because a stock may not recover from a downswing within the time frame you'd like—and may in fact drop further in price. In addition, frequent trading can be expensive, since every time you buy and sell, you may pay broker's fees for the transaction.

Be aware that trading should not be confused with "day trading," which is the rapid buying and selling of stock to capitalize on small price changes. Day trading can be extremely risky, especially if you attempt to day trade using borrowed money. Individual investors frequently lose money by trying to use this approach.

A very different investing strategy—called buy-and-hold—involves keeping an investment over an extended period, anticipating that the price will rise over time. While buy-and-hold reduces the money you pay in transaction fees and short-term capital gains taxes, it requires patience and careful decision-making. As a buy-and-hold investor, you generally choose tokens based on a company's long-term business prospects. Increases in the coin price over years tend to be based less on the volatile nature of the market's changing demands and more on what's known as the company's fundamentals, such as its earnings and sales, the expertise and vision of its management.

Such a strategy can be super profitable. Here are some examples:

of course I prefer to do trading because I see with trading nad abisa mendaptkan profits that are very much different if you just hold the capital you have certainly will never be able to get the benefits.

Buying and holding strategy is not complicated, it is exactly what it looks like. You are just buying and maintaining an investment, regardless of whether the market is rising or falling. Using this strategy, mentality is not receptive to everything that the market speaks. So attraction to buying and loyalty is simple.

It's better to learn trading than just buying and hold. If you learn trading, you will know how the market works. Either going down or going up you control your money easily and without any hesitation. In buy and hold, you would only learn how to be patient. What if the price doesnt go up? Instead of having a principal for trading, you wasted your money and time in holding coins. Got the point?

Well I am a bit different thinking that I prefer buying and holding of crypto currency which use to call as investment, it is a good way of making profit in crypto currency in buying and holding you will not remain worry about the market situation all the time as once if you will invest then you will sell it later long ago but in trading you will have to keep your eyes on the market as it has high profit but is time consuming so I choose simple way of making profit as buy at low price and hold with patience to let it grow.

I might prefer trading. it is a short-term opportunity that can make a lot of money. But, most people prefer to buy and hold. it is because they feel that the potential of a coin will appear if it is held for a long time. well, i also do that often.

of course I prefer to do trading because I see with trading nad abisa mendaptkan profits that are very much different if you just hold the capital you have certainly will never be able to get the benefits.
