I made some money day trading back in 2013.  However, when I analyzed my results, I realized thet I would have made more just by buying and holding.  The trouble with day trading is that you are likely to be out of the market during the largest run ups.

Now my strategy is to hold until after global Bitcoin adoption.  Ironically, that strategy helps the price increase.  It's the buy-and-holders who create the scarcity that keeps the price going up.
