Some people say that Buy and Hold is the best strategy and can't be beaten. They hear phrases like “95% of traders lose money” and automatically assume that all trading is bad and markets can not be outperformed.

In my Medium post, I’m going to show you, that holding might not be the best option if you put in a little bit of work. To do that, I compare Buy and Hold returns for 25 coins with several basic trend-following strategies in different time periods (over 3.5 years of data and then a little extra).

The source code of strategies and raw test results (CSV) is pushed to my Github.

Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Yes, most of time "buy and hold", is a strategy, that came for whose you bought and price now getting upset.
If some coin will rise 3-10x times, you sell it and happy.

But if coin fall in 3-10x times for a lot of people that just mean that they now must hold intill price will return.

That`s why this meme massivly become on crypto scene, after highs of December 2017 - January 2018.
