Of course holding is less stressful compared to trading, although is just a matter of choice because actually there are people at their that is also make money in their trading but the truth still remains the same no two ways about because the chance of losing is always higher than the chance of getting profits from it, so however, I think is just depends on individuals decisions because everybody can not do the same thing at a time, but for me I think holding is more reliable than trading.
It's not about reliability but it's more about experience and knowledge, I would say. People who lack knowledge about the market and general experience in trading are better off only investing in Bitcoin and holding for the long term. On the other hand, those who understand the market very well and have trading knowledge can do short-term trading and it can be profitable for them because they know how to play with the market and when to open and close their trades.
Newbies usually lack the necessary knowledge that one needs for trading which is the reason why it's better for newbies to stick to investing. If you have a capital, invest it in Bitcoin at once if you are getting a good price or keep doing DCA and just hold for the future and sell when the price is higher than when you bought so that you can take profit and exit.
Yes, it is all about experience and knowledge. But everyone has an option and should do what works best for him. For example, if someone invests in bitcoin for the long term, it may indicate that he lacks expertise or experience in trading, which is why he did not focus on it. Some people have expertise and understanding of how to deal with the market, but because they lack the cash to accept the risk, they will most likely reconsider and focus on long-term investing since is the long investment that will minimise there risk. Some newbies are willing to take risks at any moment and do all it takes to reach their goals; others are not patient enough to invest for the long term and seek to obtain money immediately. And you will most likely lose if you rush into trading because the market is not stable and can change at any time. Only experience can understand the market, which is why you must take your time and thoroughly study the market before embarking on your trading journey.
