Do you think it's a good idea for the average crypto investor to attempt to time the market and trade in and out of positions or just identify and hold quality coins for the long run? For example, I began buying quality projects about 18 months ago and have basically just held through many ups and downs and am up around 2000%. I have my doubts that my gains would be that high if I did more trading and less investing. What are your thoughts on this considering that very few people have the knowledge and experience that you do?

Probably not - buy & hold is a better strategy for most people, but I would add a preface that in the crypto market, it's not that unlikely we see a drawdown in the ballpark of 80% again which trading can help prevent or mitigate. It's not like stocks where you can be certain they will go up in long-run: Many projects will fail (even the ones that look higher quality). However, I'd keep an allocation to the space and make sure your position size isn't so large that you are risking your financial independence on a market that is so overheated.
