๐ *Holding vs. Day Trading in 2025: Which One Wins?* ๐งต๐
I tested both with real
over 6 months, and hereโs what actually worked (with receipts). Spoiler: the results may surprise you.
---
๐ Day Trading: High Effort, High Risk
- I made 40+ trades per month
- Wins: quick 5-15% scalps
- Losses: added up fast during volatile dips
- Emotionally exhausting ๐ตโ๐ซ
- Final result: ~14% net gain over 6 months ๐
*Why it struggles now:*
2025 markets are unpredictable. Algo-driven liquidity traps + fakeouts = constant whiplash. Even great setups fail fast.

๐ Holding (HODLing): Less Stress, More Gains
- Held BTC, ETH, SOL, ONDO, and 2 low caps from Q4 2024
- Didnโt touch them, just added on dips
- Final result: ~130% gain in 6 months ๐๐ฅ
*Why it worked:*
- ETF inflows + macro easing = uptrend
- Altcoins pump in cycles, not hours
- Conviction pays off over time

๐ง What You Should Do in 2025:
*For most people โ Holding wins.*
โ Build conviction in 5-7 strong assets
โ Zoom out: 3-6 month outlook minimum
โ Add on major dips, donโt panic sell
โ Use trading only to take partial profits on major rallies

๐งญ My Strategy Going Forward:
90% long-term conviction holds ๐
10% swing trades during hype waves โก
Focus on solid narratives: *AI, DePIN, real-world assets, Layer 1s*

In 2025, *patience > perfection.*
The less you stare at charts, the more money youโll probably make. ๐ค๐ฐ
HODL smart. Win big. ๐ซก๐
