You are so right. I have just started in the crypto world and I have dabbled in day trading. I have made a slight profit in fiat just due to the unbelievably bullish market we've had, but if I had just bought and hedl, I would have tripled or more my money. I have decided I'm an investor, not a trader.

I will probably still leave a small portion of my funds in an exchange to trade with, but not enough to significantly hurt my portfolio if I lose it all (which is likely).
