Bitcoin is not for traders. Bitcoin is an investment tool for the security of one's life in the future. And no matter how much knowledge one acquires or increases one's skills, real success cannot be achieved through trading. And traders normally invest a lot of money to make quick profits in a short time. That is why they often lose.
This is not true. Not the way I see it anyway. Bitcoin was created as a currency, and a currency can be traded. For fiat currencies, they are traded in the foreign exchange market, and the same can be applied to Bitcoin. The fact that bitcoin gives way more profit in the long term doesn't mean it cannot be traded. I think most time we forget that bitcoin is a currency too, not just a speculative asset.
Different people can use their bitcoin however they want to; they are free to hodl, sell or trade as they wish, the problem arises when you're trading without fully understanding what it's all about. That is why it's relatively better to just hold because that way you don't need any special skills.
For example, a person makes a lot of calculations and thinks that within the next 1 month the price of Bitcoin will increase by more than 25% compared to the current one and for this reason He is investing all the money he has, and borrowing as much as he can to invest the entire amount in Bitcoin to make more profits in a short time. But it turns out that at that time the price of Bitcoin has decreased a lot. Meanwhile, he needs money for some urgent need. In this situation, he has no money and hi is forced to sell Bitcoin at a much lower price than before. As a result, he faces a loss. In fact, no one can say exactly how much the price of Bitcoin will decrease or increase after 2 months or 6 months. But depending on the popularity and demand of Bitcoin at the present time, it can be assumed that its value will be much higher in the future after 5 to 10 years than it is now.
You have just described a bad trader. A good trader will know that he is in a risky business, and investing more than necessary is a wrong move. Day trading with bitcoin is very possible and can also be profitable, even though I won't advise anybody who is not skilled yet to go into it.
The fact that you trade doesn't stop you from holding. They're not mutually exclusive. You can have the bitcoin somewhere that you hold and don't touch and still be a trader.
