No matter how you want to make money from the market, you must have a good strategy for you to be a consistent and profitable trader. You need to take your time and know what you are doing as a trader so that we are not going to be losing consistently without making good profits. Trading need more understanding of the market than we thinking of making consistent profits from the market.
Trading has lots of activities to do and it's very risky since you can lose all your money, which is why the OP is suggesting about holding instead of trading. There's nothing wrong if you want to trade but only those who are professional should do such as a user who doesn't have the experience will lose all they capital they have invested.
Although with holding, your take yourself out of the emotional rollercoaster that the market has. The volatility of the market won't affect your mental health and that's if you're the patience with your investment and not always checking to see which price your coins are currently at.
