It is just and timing and belief in yourself. Arbitrage trading is considered only good option if you own massive number of coins.
I believe arbitrage needs a lot of time and observation on the flow chart of what's happening in the price and I also agree that you need a lot of capital to make a good profit.

That's true without capital getting profit or good earning through arbitrage needs long time as well can't get desired profit and high risk involved. Its better to hold accordingly to the rise and grab the profit.

Its depending on how you want to make profit, I honestly would pick the bitcoin because I think it has a better future than it and its also that its becoming bigger everyday it will soon or later take over the world.
The halving is also coming so holding is now because of that better too.

Its really becoming bigger everyday and I also think that you can make a lot of profit with the bitcoin itself.
You are exactly right about it all and I think that if we just hold the bitcoin its gonna be profitable for us all.

The only thing i can say to you is you can better holding on to the bitcoin because bitcoin is growing big and i dont think arbitrage
will be such popular as he was before the bitcoin came into the world off course there are more peopel interested to the bitcoin than in to the arbitrage.

The problem with arbitrage is that is not just a 1 person operation. Just keep in mind this is based on your approach.

If they really want to do it really well at it. Since its based off 3 different currencies in total - the us dollars, bitcoin, and then the other country they pay for cheaper rates.

Or it go the othe way around, but youre basically moving and selling to another market for way higher and if the countries currency is strong enough (if not) then you make it up in other ways.

i would say hold on to the bitcoin because the future will bring nice things for the bitcoin and that is not a joke because there will happen
allot to the bitcoin in the year 2020 there are allot of people speculating about that.

The year 2020 will be great. Another halving, and my guess is that the price will at least have double from now. That's not because I hope it will be doubled.
But I think it can happen.

Simply holding the bitcoin is in my eyes better because it has a very good worth and its also worth holding.
I think that due to the fact of the good future of the bitcoin its better to hold right now.


If you have time you can try arbitrage but don't forget that's risky and hard. You depend on deposit times and market sentiments.
Which is why i left daily trading all together.

You can do both if you want to. What I'm doing is, save most of my earnings because I know that it would benefit me in the future (well, since bitcoin is continually adopted by many and become stronger as time goes by) then use some on trading. I don't trade everyday, I'm waiting for the perfect timing before I buy or sell(buy low/sell high), making sure that I will earn from it. That's how I do it, in your case you're still the one who will decide depending on your situation. Just don't trade all, save for the future.

since you are a beginner in trading i suggest you to stick with holding your bitcoin for the time being and enjoying the ride to the moon with bitcoin.

and if you are really interested in trading start with a small amount and you may even have an easier chance of learning in altcoin market.
There are some short variations but still bitcoins are growing at great speed and I also think that it is more beneficial to hold it for long time. After collecting good amount of bitcoin then it is good to start trading from small so that enough stock of bitcoins are always remain in wallet.

Whenever I get bitcoin, I immediately sell for a small profit.  I have been wondering if I would be better off just holding onto them...then I think that to make money I gotta buy and sell, buy and sell, over and over.

What are your thoughts?  Is it better to buy and hold or buy low/sell high?
I think holding bitcoin dalah current best fig. bitcoin will soon be approaching halving the time and price is expected to rise quite high. I save a lot of bitcoin for sale when halving arrived.

I think there is no right or wrong answer to this. If you need the money, then it's okay to go ahead and sell. If you don't really need the money, then you could wait to sell when the price is relatively high to maximize your profit.

how does the op instantly make a profit? does he buy every single time just before it pops up? and why go through all that hassle to make a tiny percentage? it don't make a great deal of sense.

both of them are good ways of making money, you should see which one is better for you. usually people are choosing the easy way of just buying low and hold it and wait until the price is high and then sell it.

but also you can see that there is always a lot of ups and downs in the market which can be considered good opportunities to buy low and sell high every day on each of these dips and rises.

I agree that both good ways in making money, BUT it depends on some situations and conditions.Arbitrage is advantageous if you have a bigger margin,having a higher demand or several orders.Since transferring from one exchanges to another takes time,this could be considered. BUY and HOld is also a good one, BUT you have to be awae whats happening,speculations etc because it also affects the bitcoin price. Be vigilant and act fast so that you will not be left behind Wink

It's always going to be arbitrage. Why?

Say you earn 0.01% on a trade and you can do this 1000x if you wanted any given day. That's 10.516539% a day growth of your bitcoins. That'll add up way faster than any increase in price ever would. The problem is finding actual arbitrage that you can take advantage of over and over again.

i think simply holding bitcoin is too much better than any thing else. i think it is still a good time to buy and hold bitcoin tell the halvingl at the time of halving you should sell your bitcoin and when the price came down then try to buy again and then wait for the next high rate.
