Listen I understand and hear what you're saying. I mentioned in my early post that Bitcoin is the only option to "invest" in. Investing really requires a long term outlook. I have no doubt that there is opportunities to make great returns by day trading or swing trading other altcoins - but at the end of the day it really is just gambling. Think of "holding" as something you do over the long term, and the long term isn't 1-2 years.
You should not just be a holder if your investment budget is very low. Even if $100 in bitcoin today could become $500 in the next 4-6 years, it is not worth it if you do not improve your skills and abilities which in turn has a positive impact on portfolio growth. Holding a decent amount of bitcoin like $10k or more is certainly better, but if you only have a budget under $1k, try learning how to increase it over time like trading.
While trading isn't a bad approach to making a profit, $100 is much more worthwhile if you actually use it to invest in growing your skills and ability to understand the market and its dynamics. In other words, it is better to invest in the growth of knowledge than to invest directly in an asset that you hope will bring you wealth if you don't really understand it yet.
