I agree that HODL is more safe way to earn. Today most of my friends who deal with crypto are also holding. I hope we will see better times for trading as well. Atthe moment I sell my altcins and hold in bitcoin and 25% of all earnigs in ETH.
As we know that actually if you cannot trade then the best is to invest what you would not mind losing, so as to subdue the panic in a way and then HODL until you get the best out of it. With bitcoin kind of promising cryptos, we can hold for ever. The longer we will be able to hold, the bigger the benefits. But this is not the case with most other coins. I mean to say that we need to find the right investments before following the policy of longer holding. Holding is a very wise thing, but learning how to trade is actually the smartest choice. Yes, not everyone can trade and not everyone would want to go through that patience of learning or time to even achieve it, but it is actually the best to consider than holding.
