HODLING. The laziest of them all. All you need to do is to buy a definite amount and wait for it to get higher. The only enemy is the long term patience and greedyness. Its tiring but i continue fighting.
HODLING is an investment, it's not something anyone can say is for lazy people, and I don't see how you can consider HODLING as a hard way to earn bitcoin. When the person take $11500 and buy 1 BTC and hold 1 BTC for 5 years for example, by the end of those 5 years that person will still have 1 BTC, they will only have many USD or less USD. HODLING is not for raising BTC, is for earning more USD. Trading can also serve to increase BTC or to increase USD.
