It's better to learn trading than just buying and hold. If you learn trading, you will know how the market works. Either going down or going up you control your money easily and without any hesitation. In buy and hold, you would only learn how to be patient. What if the price doesnt go up? Instead of having a principal for trading, you wasted your money and time in holding coins. Got the point?
we are on the same path, I think doing trading is better than doing a hold especially for a beginner, knowledge of how the market works is an important point here, you will not be able to be successful trader without knowing it
