i do not think it is correct o holding bitcoin is against the law, to me if have i invested my fiat and buy bitcoin so the bitcoin bought is my property and i am the owner of it, and it, thereof no restriction to hold bitcoin for a particular time, therefore i can hold my bitcoin up to any time.
that is right as bitcoin is a currency and every person like to store his money in any form of currency so why storing of bitcoin will be against to bitcoin. Bitcoin came here as a currency and as a currency bitcoin do not ban any person to store bitcoin.
