I still think that #HODLing is much better than trading. This has happened several times where we have seen the price of BTC go up, then go down and then go up several times. When that happens I often regret that I would have preferred to trade rather than hold my assets. HODLers just need extraordinary patience to reap the benefits. And it's not easy for everyone to do even though it's actually a pretty simple thing.
Holding requires calm heart and calm mind as well. Those who have holdings in different coins then they know how to manage the things if market goes green and how we should behave when the market goes green. It mostly create problem for those who didn't keep their backup money for their investment then Holding would be a big problem for them. For those who have money in their hand, any time they can offer it to their trades, they can easily hold.
Patience in every trade should be need, not for a single trader but for all the trader. Sometimes trading plays with those who are much experience and with those who have good trading skills also.
