Both Hodling and trading carry risks. We just anticipate the price movement which might get wrong due to any of the reasons.
But, despite how risky it was, still we have a way to minimize losses. Like, if we do trading, we don't have to rely on luck. Perhaps, doing it better and enhancing our knowledge and skill helps a lot more than speculating the market.
We have to be clear that trading is really different from gambling. Gambling was just 50/50 chances of winning, unlike trading which we can increase it by working it hard and pushing ourselves to the highest level.
Trading will be different from gambling. because trading is not just a result of luck alone. there may be a new trader who trades from his luck alone. yes maybe it exists, but it's not necessarily owned by people.
Gambling is simply betting on the outcome of luck. there is no analysis, although it is possible to calculate the odds of winning and losing. but we can't control the bets we've made.
will be different when traders want to sell or keep holding the assets they have. control of the assets traded is 100% in the control of the trader.
