There are both pros and cons of being a trader and a holder.
Being a trader is more risky than just holding your coin but the profit will be higher if you are a good trader. High risk = high reward as they say so being a trader make more money but the risk is higher too. This is the reverse of being a holder. The risk are lower but the reward will be lower too. In conclusion, traders make more money compare to holders.
Yes, I agree with you. There are always pros and cons of being a trader and a holder. In trading, it always depends on what crypto are you trading and holding. So if its the same crypto and same amount, I think it will come to your skills, analysis and also situation. Trader focuses every minute to make sure they can profit more, but holders are not, at the same time they might busy in other things and less focus on the price of their cryptos.
