I definitely agree with you OP, and I made myself clear to learn from my past mistakes. Back when I just started out trading and claiming faucets. I was too excited to earn from the coins I bought and sadly by the time I bought them I didnt realise it was pumping, and so I obviously bought them at the highest peak and panicked and sold them at loss. Corrected my mistakes by holding them much longer and reading articles about the market, reading tips from veterans in this forum and did not regret my decision.
It all depends on the nature of the crypto coin which you have which can then help you in making a better decision that whether you should go for holding or trading of any of the crypto coin. If you have coins like that of bitcoin and ETH, then holding can help you out in the best possible way and that this will no doubt bring lot of money for you in the future as well which you can use for a better living.
