Hodlers vs. Traders
Who actually wins in the end? I've heard success stories from both sides, but I'm not sure which method is more profitable.

>> No.2341469

Combination of them both.

this is the only answer. as a hodler you still have to sell or you'll never get your money back, and it can be a good idea to cash out in a matter of days or weeks especially if it's a pump and dump shitcoin.

It's hard for traders to win all the time, but they certainly have a better chance of making more.

holding 70 percent in BTC / ETH and trading with 30 or so, with main focus to acquire more BTC / ETH
you can only really win by trading if you're patient and know how to ignore other meme coins while others are shilling them

>> No.2341500

Whoever held bitcoin back in the day certainly did

Holding is part of what trading is though. You won't find a single (1) daytrading book or guide, that tells you to gamble your whole stack. That's how retards kill themselves (literally).

/biz/ is fucking stupid, I'm sick of this stupid mentality on /biz/ that you either hold or daytrade.
According to /biz/ your only choices are to hold garbage for years, or spend all day trying to ride tiny waves. It's about holding till you make a profit, trying to sell as close as you can to the peak, and then getting out.

Hodling is the better strategy if you're new, don't know what you're doing, have a tendency to impulsively sell/buy things or just don't feel like speculating all the time. Trading is better if you trust yourself to make good decisions and have some knowledge of what you're doing. But it's inherently more risky in the sense that you could be losing out on potential long term profit for more short term returns, that you could also just as easily lose.

That being said trading has the most potential for gainz. In the end, both are very viable methods and it comes down really to what you feel is best.

You mean all I have to do is buy low, sell high? No fucking way!?

Literally depends on your cash to volume ratio. If you're not making enough cash to cover your trade costs then obviously you're going to lose out.
