"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.
Holding a coin is certainly one way to get the target we want. And I don't think it makes sense to compare prices at the beginning of the year with now, because that will only make lambo into Hyundai. I think it's important to determine the target, at least on the right coin, because even a beginner can have a different perception of a cycle.
