Thank you for interesting thought! It seems to me that this is the most working strategy. And most importantly, without unnecessary effort and waste of time , you get a much greater result than with trading, mining and other methods of earning on crypto currencies.
Right HODL'ing is one of the best strategy that someone with no prior knowledge of trading. Less hassle and no headache everyday specially seeing the price plunging.
And just by hodling for longer term, one might get and realized his potential profits. Just read 50 cent, way back he decided to accepts bitcoin as payment with his downloaded songs and moving forward 2017 he gains a lot by just keeping it in his wallet.
