Day trading is too stressful for me. I rather HODL. So far it has been working for me. However, I do like to have some staking coins that give small rewards for holding.
Why not do both? You can have your long-term stash, and you could have a special account just for swing and day-trading - that is if you are any good at reading the charts and determining sentiment.
Profits from day-trading could also be used to bolster your hodl stack, or be diversified to other tokens/projects.
Well its depends on your vision, and the situation of that currency. In 2010 my friend buys bitcoin, and hold it till now. He sell all coins in 2016. So in this case Holding a currency is profitable ;)
My friend left work and now plays on the exchange with crypto currencies. He says this must be well understood to be successful. I think you are successful in this.
Nice post, it is very relevant for the two categories of people trading crypto. I wish you have great incomes and same to @LukeStokes, whom posts I also appreciate. Have fun in your trading rush!
I trade in cryptopia. Just a few months ago I started cryptopia, it's easy and I'm not dizzy so much, I'm slowly trading in Hitbtc and Bittrex, and using analysis tools.
I like Hodl just crypto-coins very trustworthy.
Always in crypto-currency you have to invest and do trading, and be aware that you can lose some money.
Hodl seems to have done me very well the only thing I regret is not buying more back then, then remind myself well in 2-3 years I could be saying the same thing so BUY and HODL!
Trading or holding, no matter both are gambling. If you have No Strategy then you will get the HODL Mentality. If you have the confidence then you will trade. If you are a person who won't take a lot of risk, better trade half and hold half~
Congratulations@hilarski
MinnowsPower listed your post "Is it Better to Hodl or Trade in Crypto?" as one of the top 5 upvoted and commented posts of the day...!!!
Better trade. HODL not always profitable. Nice tips you shared...!!!
@hilarski,
Sometimes Hodl better sometimes trade is better! It depends on the time, price and power of the coin! But personally I like trade as you do!
We should trade our products according to the laws of market. If the demand increase the price of the product also increases, so trader can get good profit.
Charles Munger (Buffet's friend and partner) always uses to say that the majority of gains is not accrued by buying or selling but by waiting. So I too am a member of the hodlers anonymous :D
Have a core amount that you never trade just in case. Whether that is 50% 10% or 1%. I could live with myself if I held onto an asset that plummets in value better than I can know that I sold off everything that would have been worth thousands, but sometimes you got to know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.
I think trading works out better, you are likely to lose your bitcoin, but you are also likely to acquire more bitcoin, and thus benefit from an increase in bitcoin's prices, which seems more likely. In the long run, hodling may give you a return in fiat value as a result of a public increase in the crypto's perceived value, however, this is unlikely as confidence in alt-coins tends to grow more slowly than that of bitcoin.
If you are good at it, trading will make you a lot more money. That said, trading is difficult business. Many people, actually most, lost their shirts doing it. That might be okay for you in the nice climate down there but for most, a winter jacket is required. LOL
At the end of the day, I would be even a trader like you has some long term hodls in your portfolio.
This post has been ranked within the top 50 most undervalued posts in the second half of Oct 26. We estimate that this post is undervalued by $24.14 as compared to a scenario in which every voter had an equal say.
Neither hodling everything nor selling everything within the same day will work for everyone. It depends on people, some go with their own strategy. Some will lock up all their investment in secure wallet. Some of them buy when the price is low and sell when the price goes up. I would suggest that, each individual to come up with a strategy which works for them and which will be comfortable for them.
@hilarski - Sir once I did trades & loss by panic moves... So, better hodl... but people like you, have a lot of experience can do trades.... You are genius in crypto.... so whatever you do you will make profit Sir....
@hilarski: I think that hodling is better. Why? Because trading is more risky and requires a lot of time. Investing in good coins when the price is low is for me a safe and rewarding long-term strategy...

Hold bitcoin, but trade alts.
Anyone who holds alts is a fool - when it pumps and you are in profit, SELL! If you don't, you risk becoming a bag-holder.
