Being too greedy is not mistake it's a human nature i think..
But i can support your word that people can earn more profit if they being serious about their small profits. But in my opinion isn't it too much hard for low budget investor to reach that place..?Low-budget investors may opt for long term hodling, since collecting small profits to gradually take back the capital may never make any difference. But, still its a good exercise to make use of the strategy for less risky investment. Long term hodling might drain your patience sometimes when your coin doesnt seem to have improved for quite some time.
