Trading or holding?

in recent comments they told me that I am ignorant because I trade downwards, while the best way to earn would be to hold, yes but infinitely? I have active bots without stop loss, using it makes you lose, while I can evaluate whether to close the position or not, if I close it very low without selling, I have earned from the bot's transactions and temporarily lost from the drop in monetary price, but I also have a surplus of stablecoins to be able to buy what I think is best at that moment, rather than remaining anchored and blocked waiting for a general increase, I don't understand where the profit is in buying and holding there waiting for infinite increases, even if it is true that with #BTC we went from 19k to 108K in a few months, but in that place they were talking about #Memecoins
