Only 10% (in the better days) of BTC is actually trading. That's why the markets are heavily manipulated.
Hodling is an internet meme (started here) that people mistook for a financial advisor.
A lot of peeps forgot that bitcoin is supposed to be p2p electronic cash. And not an asset.
We all know about that, but holding has been proven many times as a superior strategy, many people say that day trading is the best and I will not deny that the potential profits that you could get there are incredible, but how many people are able to produce those profits? A minority, the rest of the people will be better by just keeping their bitcoin and not selling until they reach their target price.
