Buying and holding coins.......is that the only strategy that the new traders can follow to make profit ??
Actually there are many strategy that you can follow beside of holding but the basic and easy one is holding. Before trying the other strategy better you learn first to higher level. As i am newbie, i use that strategy only.
The most usual way to trade your tokens profitably is BUY LOW then SELL HIGH, that is what the most Traders do, it is very effective trust me. Holding means patient, because there are times that the tokens that you are holding are going to DUMP, so the alternative for that is holding, it might be boring but it is going to be worth it in the long run.
