Many people hold bitcoin instead of spending it and making bitcoin a real currency with real economy.
Storage is the major issue for me. Unless we are very computer educated, it is very difficult to store the coins safely.There are a lot of thieves and hackers who target the new users.
I think no need to fear and fret when you save bitcoin you have to do is add some authentication. I know bitcoin very vulnerable for thieves. because when you send bitcoin you do not need any verification. so what you need is a secure wallet.
it is sufficient to the purposes of holding bitcoin
