HODLing is by far the safest thing you can do in this crypto business. But then the query is, for how long can you keep on holding onto the coin as the market falls. while you are seriously in need of money. and the coin you holding is falling and has no since of rising soon. Personally, i am not discouraged by the market. Hence, the reason why i find it necessary to do day trading with my coins each day than Hold onto them till the show 200%+ price increase.
Holding will very beneficial for your future and its huge profit will give you many opportunities in future, but some people sell their bitcoin for their urgent needs and that's why they lose their profit but they know about bitcoin so they didn't want to sell their all bitcoin and they hold it for long term because long term investment is most important for future and that,s why people should hold it.
