"Hodl" is word used to much in crypto space but i think hodl can be dangerous for newbies mostly they will be shilled and hodl a shitcoin or hodl a solid coin for too long and wouldn't sell when time was right you will end up like me as there was time when i could buy tesla now i can only buy honda.
Actually holding is the best option for the newbies.Because they will easily get panic in trading of cryptocurrency by seeing the fluctuations.Newbies must analysis the market and then inverse on a potential coin.If they inverse on a shitcoin without the crypto knowledge.They are forced to lose a investments.
