With the unpredictable changes in bitcoin price people have chosen to hold instead of day trading, I mean the majority have.
How risky is day trading at the moment?

most day traders lose money.

Not only that... Even if you gain money because you were going to win due to the fact that you were investing in a market while it was going up, you might end up not gaining as much as you would holding ( that happened to me)
Most of the increase happens in just a small portion of the days. If you miss out on your trades, you will lose a lot of money that you would gain holding long term.
