"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.
Yes you are a fairly new person and have kept the junk coins in some time with market conditions like this then do not blame on the principle of holding the truth, smart people will build portfolios by doing the most profound analysis the most appropriate is to buy more coins for the top coins , do not be too ambitious to get rich, there are so many people out there to hold Bitcoin because it's great for market development.
