Day trading needs skill and time and practice. COnsidering the rising market cap of digital currency in general, setting your sight s on a good project, investing in it and hodling seems like a good choice. but who knows when (and if!) the bubble will burst, right? Day traders will see that coming soner than hodlers for sure.

I'm trading less and less, and this is making me more and more money. Cool

The fuck you talking about mate? Trading helps you make money but I think you mean to say that holding helps to make money too.

In that case I would agree and disagree at the same time. In case you are one of the early adopters of bitcoin around back in 2009 or 2010 then hodling has been profitable today. However there are many other altcoins to put your money into at the moment and most of the top 10 altcoins in coinmarketcap (except BCH and possibly one more) are worth investing money into.

By day trade I mean literally trading atleast 5 days of the week and by holder I mean holding coins for 3 months or MORE.....

I consider myself a little bit of both.

I am a holder, im afraid in day trading because that's too risky i mean in one week the coin can double the price if you hold ,so for me its better to hold .but if you can manage day trading the go for the two.

Im a holder some coins for 3-5 coins in my portfolio. When Ive search some coins that is worth investment I hold it until I can grow my btc. Because holding these coins I feel the price will hit my target, those who choose day trader is also good as long you know how to manage your portfolio.

You  ant necessarily say that day treader needs to trade 5 days a week it really depends on the strategy of the trader, i usually trade 3-5 times a week depending on the situation. Also i hold some coins that i think has great potential in the future.

I choose to become holder than day trading because this is more easy than day trading, day trading is unpredictable job and sometimes miss big profit because too early sell. Only hold some coin that has strong in fundamental so that not too much consuming time because just learn about fundamental analyis and then buy that coin and hold it a few month. This easy strategy possible to make more than 10 times profit in a couple month.

I am a holder I've been holding my bitcoin for almost 2 months now and I am planning to sel them maybe at the end of January 2018. I'm still on the process of learning trading because I have planned to do a dau trading in 2018 I want to know if I am good on it or if I could be lucky enough to produce more income in trading rather than holding.
Excuse me sir, I am sorry to ask you about this question but I really wanna ask. What coin do you holding ? And what make you so sure to hold until the end of January 2018 ? Right now I'm just brave holding Bitcoin only, I dare not to hold Altcoin or other cryptocurrency because I do not know what Altcoin I should hold and how long I have to hold. I can hold Bitcoin for a long time and I hope I can get a lot of profit from Bitcoin. I also dare not take risks and do trading. I do not like do research and price analysis of a currency. I just dare to hold the famous cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum.

I think that if a trader inside the day you can call someone who keeps a coin one day, then most of us are trading Holders).
After all, a trader within a day is a concept from forex, where his specificity, his rules, his commission for an unclosed deal, etc.)

I would say that I am just a HODLer. It's quite hard to day trade and scary as well. The risk is extremely high and there is a greater chance to lose money than to gain some if you don't know much about what you are doing or you are not an expert at it. I have a friend who lost about 9 bitcoins just day trading though I would say that he has a lot of bitcoins for trading so I think that's not much to lose but he gains about the same amount in day trading.

I am not a day trade, I only trade  if there are good chnace I am making profit, recently I am quite active in trading because alt coin price is in a good track, before that  I am a holder, I can hold my coin for years, but in crypto you need  to be flexible in order to gain profit, so I think when you already long involve in crypto, you will become both trader and holder

You trade during the day if you have a lot of time to follow the market and have knowledge in analyzing candlestick charts to decide on the investment. You will be a holder if you do not have much capital and what you need is to watch and study carefully the pennies you want to invest, invest in and keep some time, this helps you harder in Watching the market for hours and less psychological pressure.

I'm a full blown HODLER!  Cool

Mainly because I failed trading when I first started crypto, but also now because after lots of research, I found projects I love... I even started a community page https://lbry.community   Cool

That's the best way... HODL and join the community of a coin you like.

Be patient .. the more diligent the more discipline the more profits you get!
it can make us deeper in having everything ...
based on my experience, every trading day will be more beneficial for us than just 5 times a week ..
for about holder , if want to get 3x, usually can be achieved with only 1-2 months.
but if you want to have up to 10x even 100x minimum 5-6 months we must be patient until we find the prime price of a new coin.

Yes, until now I also hold some of my coins for months. However, I prefer the short trade because the profit earned can be every day, but with a greater risk because usually the signal I get only lasts a matter of minutes or seconds.

Why you are curious to know about the number of holders and daily traders? Are you taking any type of survey or making some stats?
Everyone here belongs to one of these communities (i.e daily traders and holders), but the majority are of holders because majority of the people don't give proper attention to the market so they prefer to only invest and wait for the price to rise high.
P.S I am both, holder+daily trader.

A lot of people will still fall in the category of the two because even if you want to be a day trader, some factors that are beyond your doing or influence, will force you to hold. For example if I should by at a certain price with the mind to sell at +20% before the next day, but that didn't happen, I am forced to wait a little longer than necessary which then force me to the second category because of the target I have set for myself. So, I also consider myself as a little of both.

I try daily trading and it turns out daily trading is very risky when the price is too high you should not do daily trading because it will make you stuck at a very high price. I prefer long-term trading and make altcoin an investment I can count on.

If you want to become a trader then you should be able to analyze price at any time. You can not say that today is a holiday, you should be able to take action at any time because you are responsible for all the coins you have. When you can take advantage of momentum then you can benefit and when you lose momentum because you are on vacation then you will experience regret in your life.

From my own point of view or perspective  I will likened a day trader as someone who has a trading strategy that can last between 2 to 5 days also called swing trading in spot forex trading and some day traders has positions that last within a day meanwhile hodlers are traders who buy low a hold positions for a long time it can be monthly or even yearly they might not have a trading strategy.

I am mainly a hodler but I do do the odd trades when I get time although over the silly season I didn't get much time to trade at all and just managed to keep an eye for some coins etc. If some coins moon then I usually sell off a few of them and use some of the new capital to recycle into new projects that have potential to see good gains, but am trying this time to hold some of the best coins for long term as I missed out on BTC, ETHEREUM and all the big cap coins. So am banking of getting bags of smaller cap coins and see them blow up in 2018. Let's see if this happens lol.

I'm virtually a holder and that's what i do best and occasionally dump some coins.I have been holding some coins for the past 1 year without touching them.I used to day trade but it wasn't that profitable for me so i just decided to invest in promising ICOs and hold their tokens afterwards.

Those who deal with daily commerce are more knowledgeable, but most of their time has to spend on computer and monitor. That's why they work like a job. Long-term traders have a more stable structure, and generally spend less time on trade. It's a time-related choice.

I hold my coins, I like it than doing day trade because I don't have a lot of free time in my hands so I might lose a lot if I don't pay attention to the prices every hour. I don't know if I consider myself a holder because I tend to sell a portion of my coins when it's profitable and the coins I mostly hold doesn't last for 3 months.

due to my hectic and busy schedule, i do prefer holding than scalping daily. holding is less stress and easier to manage. just put your desired price then leave it until it is sold.

Most of us don't trade 5 days a week, so most of us are holders. There could be more people trading 5 days a week, but the majority awaits the opportunity. They trade when it looks profitable to sell or buy. There are some altcoins that they will hold for at least 3 months.

Daily traders usually hold a coin for no more than 1-3 days.
while the holder is a merchant who is able to hold their coins for 3 months or a year. usually they have knowledge of the future of a coin they hold.
