Recent insights from recent trades: the success rate of trading BTC and ETH on the left side is higher than on the right side. Shorting on the left side is generally much more comfortable.
Trading altcoins is very difficult and can only be done on the right side. When selecting altcoins, one can only choose those with active trading volumes; other altcoins remain stagnant. I also do not hold any altcoins.
In this round, I plan to buy more mainstream coins for long-term holding: BTC and ETH. I will only try to ride the main upward wave of altcoins without doing any long-term holding of altcoins.
Holding BTC or ETH for the long term should outperform all your other speculative trades. In the future, altcoins will not be able to match the returns of holding these two.
