Whether you are where you are, altcoins or bitcoin, or ico, the hold is always won. Panic sellers or buyers have always lost. you just have to be patient...
I am inclined to agree with you. Though I hate to say that ICOs can be beneficial but if someone holds tokens for long, it is impossible to not make some earning. The only difference in this case would be in amounts of profits that will be earned. Bitcoin returns the most capital increase. Then comes altcoins if it is among the top ones. ICOs come at last. The money earned this way is too small.
