Active crypto traders have lower returns than hodlers
Changpeng Zhao the chief executive of crypto exchange Binance said that internal data is showing that active crypto traders have lower returns than investors who are buying and holding for the long run.
Zhao hopped on Twitter to address the subject.
In a new series of Tweets, Zhao replies to a follower’s query on the best approach to crypto investing.

Bitcoin’s best 10 days of the year
Regarding the crypto markets, Fundstrat’s Tom Lee said that most of BTC gains come in the crypto’s best 10 days of the year – this is highlighting the difficulty in timing in the BTC market.
“Before everyone starts freaking out whether crypto winter is over, remember the Fundstrat ‘rule of 10 best days.’ [Minus Bitcoin’s] 10 best days, BTC is down 25% per year. All the gains come in 10 days. Are you that good at trading?” he said.
