Okay, those are different concepts for making money, holding bitcoin is different than trading, i will help you out with that
trading is just buying low and selling high, just buy an alt at 0.0003 and selling at 0.0004 for example, take the profit and run away to another way.
holding is different, you can just buy an altcoin, or you can hold bitcoin, and wait until the price is high, take the profit and do whatever you want.
I prefer holding forever.
