Due to missive rise in cryptocurrency market in last 1-2 years, we have seen that the HOLD is the best strategy to follow. Trading is risky and requires some experience in past.
HODL is not risk-free either and having some requisite trading knowledge is vital for getting the best out of the strategy as there're cases of especially those with little or no trading knowledge or experience losing almost 100% of their funds at the end of the day thus defeating the purpose for HODLing. I trade and I also HODL, it all depends on what the market is saying.
