I will definitely look into to some margin trading, thanks for the heads up on Gunbot as well.

I should have specified a bit more, where do I go to learn more about a buy and hold strategy. Bitcoin has gone up a lot in the past few years and I want to educate myself so that I can profit from this massive growth. For context the only investing I've done thus far is a mutual fund that brings me a pretty nice 7-8% every year.
I have 2 bitcoins held in a margin trade for my parents with a x3 leverage going long, meaning that every dollar bitcoin goes up I'll get 6 $, I have it set to close the margin trade at 2984$ which if it does reach that it will have profited 12,000$ or so + the capital gain from the 2 bitcoin. Margin trading can be bad though especially if your impatient, I would recommend gunbot if you just want to leave it on your computer while your AFK. It can make around 1-4% per week depending on your luck and the altcoin spread.
