HODL bitcoin? why and why not?
People buy bitcoin because they want to make some profit.
So, buying and holding bitcoin is the key because the longer you hold your bitcoins the more profit you can make.
Sure, one way to make it in the long run is patience. There could be some rough times, but it is better to even see them as stepping stone to greatness for bitcoin. Every investment may come with a risk and that is understandable but with bitcoin and most of the things that has been going on, I won't want to in anyway sell my bitcoin for anything. Give me at a far lesser value and then I will buy more.
