Holding is to wait for a purchase coin or already dipped coin to rise pass the purchase price as far as crypto is concern. I heard someone sold a coin at 60% loss, I can only conclude about the person that he or she is tired of holding. because it will too absurd for one to have tied down money on an investment and he or she needed money to cater for a problem. I guess that is what actually happened if not the person should have waited more for the to recover.
