The cryptocurrency market is a very unpredictable one and very volatile, and in order to succeed and make profit in this market you have to adapt to it, so sometimes buying and selling might be the right choice and sometime just holding on to it is better, so you can't have one particular strategy that is always going to guarantee you the win, however holding might seems like the safer and easy route, but in some cases it may not always lead to profit.

You just pointed out super profitable holding but what about unprofitable. Many exchange-listed coins in 2017 traded below ICO price.
Yes many coins are now trading below the ICO price which I am seeing now in the market. If you are telling about the current market then it is not good to blame the holding because right now the whole market is down and if you will not hold now then when the market will recover then you will regret as then the price of many coins will increase much higher.

There are many coins which are created with weaker projects and products so these coins may not get a high value because not much investors invest in a coin with weaker project so try to avoid that coins.

If you do not have enough experience, it is better for you to choose a long-term investment. Because short-term trade requires certain skills and knowledge in the field of cryptocurrencies. In addition, a mistake with short-term trading can turn you into a long-term investor.

I prefer to do the trader rather than just hold the assets I have because by becoming a trader you can get a lot of profits, not only that you can also grow the capital you have more than ever before.

Pros of holding for a long time? You can be lazy and just sit on your couch worrying about nothing if you did your research.

Cons? You will get too lazy to go to your day job and sometimes you just feel you should not until you lose your job.  Grin
Another con? You are becoming impatient and want to withdraw but still cannot click that exchange button since you are also becoming more greedy.  Grin

both are good but the achievement of trading is you can making profit and minimize your losses and in my view in trading you should able to utilize all of opportunities to making money and if daily trading is more profitable i think this option would be good rather than buy and hold for long term purppose but it all depend on the habit of people that some of them more prefer to daily trading but some of them also more likely to choose long term holders

In my opinion now better buy and HODL TOP 20 coins. Not buy temporarily ICO tokens, because them price very strong less after ICO.

of course there always a momentum where the price will come down temporay as the roadmap isn't running at the moment. after ICO end, team of the ICO project should prepare and make everything is on its place before its moving on. and then there always a people who trying to sell and buy below the ICO price. no doubt.

but if the ICO as roadmap already running, then we should hold it. just HOLD.

Yes If you are not an exceptional trader who makes a lot of money with trade, holding is always better than trading in terms of profit. This example proves that, it is not possible to make this profit by trading. Holding coins for the long term requires positive information for the foreseeable future, holding a coin has a high risk if we do not read a valid news source.

Holding definitely pay,  but if you know TA it's really a plus to it, as you gonna know when to opt out of your trade
I always feel these days that the idea of holding is just so over rated. My portfolio of coins and tokens from $700 last year hit about $12000 at the beginning of this year and there I was holding through which I am now back to around $1600.

As a trader, I could have traded that huge fluctuation, and be able to hold even more position for the long run and even benefit hugely from the profit if I had even bought the same quantity back at their dip. If you can learn how to trade, it pays you more in the long and short term unless we want to deceive ourselves.

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).

Trading vs Buy and Hold depends on the crypto. For me I split my investment to trading when it is good for day trade and Buy and Hold if the crypto is potential for long term.
Trading in a time when there is fluctuation in the prices I okay and you can actually trade some of your coins but not all. I say that because when there is fluctuation in the prices of the coins you own and the market is also stable, that is actually a signal to the big rush in the crypto market in the future. Right now, I am trying to trade whenever I feel I can earn but am also holding some of my coins and reinvest the money I earn in trading for buying some altcoin. This gives you output in future.

If you are not a exceptional trader who makes lots of money by trading, holding is always better than trading in terms of profit, these examples prove that, it is impossible to make these gains by trading.
Yeah see the magnitude of the change in price increases proving that holding will be very profitable. especially if you hold it for a long time but that does not mean trading should be abandoned. many people who successfully use trading for their daily profits and maybe it gives them a bigger profit or can pay for their daily needs

Holding a quality coin for long term naturally keep the pressure off you. You will see trade and project or idea behind any coin for exactly what they are. And if your coin is quality coin, it will grow in value naturally!

For me trading is more profitable but it is more riskier, specially if you do not know what you are doing.  There is a lot of money that can be made when you know how to trade.

Buy and hold will still give you a lot of money if the coins that you are holding is the right one and it is also less riskier.

It will also depend on your time. Reading and studying the chart of the coins is also time consuming so if you do not have a lo of time Buy and hold could be the better strategy for you.

Trading and holding both are profitable but trading is more risky than holding also more profitable than holding.As trading is quite risky so if you you have very proper knowledge about trading and also good experience of it then i recommend you to do trading neither never do it beacause you can loss your all currncy.so trading needsgood knowledge and also experience.
In other way holding don't need any type of experience you have to need just good knowledge about coins and it's also less risky than trading. So it's depends on you that which one you choose from these both.

yes maybe for the coin, but will all the coins experience the same thing? I do not think so, so if you decide to buy a coin and hold it for a long time I think you are also making a bet for it, so I think daily and long-term trading, has the same risk.
