There is no such a thing as putting your coins to work. It's all pointless if you think about the risks you expose yourself to. Hodling is not boring, nor should people think they can just invest or trade to increase their holdings.
Hodlers are the real winners, which is the only valid reality, and it doesn't require you to expose yourself to unnecessary risks. I enjoy seeing the market go up throughout the years, which is enough for me.
Those who strive to earn, but have no idea about how to do it, are mostly those who end up losing. I strongly advise people to not force themselves to put their coins 'to work'. Holding Bitcoin is GOLD. Putting it 'to work' is RED.
