"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.
At the same time, buying and simply keeping coins and tokens can save newcomers from ill-considered actions. However, in general, simply retaining coins becomes meaningless, especially with respect to old coins, which are no longer so rapidly growing in value. At the same time for fresh coins with a good prospect of growth, this tactic still remains relevant.
