I read somewhere on the forum today, " Wealth isn't money, it is value". Now, the thing is trading is making money, while holding or accumulating Bitcoin is making wealth. Trading gives you momentary funds, and hodling saves your future. You know what's funny, at the end of the day we all trade Bitcoin, cause after holding for so long, you can't get your value, and your wealth without trading or selling it off to someone. But that's not the point. The point is, if you want more you should accumulate. It's not that difficult, it's just like saving for the future in the bank, yeah?
Yeah, we all trade bitcoin in one form or another but not in the context the Op is talking from which I believe you also know but you are probably being sarcastic, lol

Op is referring to those potential traders who risk their coins and eventually lose some all in the name of trying to make some profit. A very insignificant profits with the possibility of losing your total assets. The comparison is not worthy of debate because it's obvious that accumulating bitcoin is the wise thing to do if you still want to be addressed as a holder. However, trading bitcoin can be profitable for people that know how to trade (very few set of people) but it's something one need not to think of unless you are ready to answer the name 'former bitcoin owner'.
