Which is more crucial HODL or Short Trading ?
Depends on how patient you are willing to be in order to get returns... i could choose to hodl and wait for at least 2 years so that i can cash out. Most people that are whining about the bearish trend are those who bought coins when the market was soaring high and now they are just in losses
The market currently is not favorable for holding for long term but if you are expert and can trade within short time, then trading is more prefarable than holding which will see your asset reducing day by day.
It is favorable, Those who are buying coins right now will see it as a good decision they made if the market had another excellent bullish run in the next 12 months... so what you should know is that opportunity presents it'self in different forms
