🧠 WHO EARNS MORE IN THE CRYPTO MARKET?

Holder, who profits or trader?

BRIEF alignment on these 3 profiles:

1️⃣ LONG-TERM HOLDER (HODL)

📌 Buys and holds for years

📌 Usually does not take profits

📌 Gains or losses remain "on paper"

🔎 Real risk of unrealized profits disappearing.

.

2️⃣ INVESTOR WHO TAKES PROFITS

📌 Buys thinking in cycles

📌 Takes partial or total profits during highs

📌 Can buy back later

📌 DOES NOT day trade

📊 Research from 2025 shows:

➡️ Those who took profits in the last 12 months had a higher percentage of real gains.

🔑 Here is the key point:

SELLING strategically is NOT trading.

.

3️⃣ ACTIVE TRADER

📌 Buys and sells all the time

📌 Many operations

📌 Fees + emotion + mistakes and successes

📉 Hard statistic: Only 10/20% of traders are consistently profitable.

⚠️ High demands, low margin for error.

.

4️⃣ THE CORRECT (AND MATURE) CONCLUSION

👉 It’s not “who holds earns less”

👉 Nor “who sells always earns more”

.

The real conclusion is:

🔑 Those who take profits strategically tend to perform better than the passive holder and much better than the active trader.

.

📌 FINAL SUMMARY

✔️ Blind HODL = risk of giving back profits

✔️ Active trading = few winners

✔️ Strategic realization = balance between risk and return

💡 The crypto market does not reward haste or emotional attachment.

It rewards discipline, cycle reading, and risk management.
