I took a long break from this forum and good to see that people actually type Hold instead of Hodl. Jokes aside.... Having more than 3 years experience i can agree to the fact that trading is much better as u know the price will keep fluctuating and u can use that to the very advantage for trading.
For eg. Say the price of 1 BTC is 10k and u carry out a deal where u get 2BTC for ur thing. Now if u see the prices falling then its better to actually trade your btc for something and u might also get a good deal if u bargain well because the falling prices will be a benefit for u. This way u get more amount of BTC which in turn will give u more Currency.
