In my very own experienced there is no good outcome when you HODL too much.
First of all do you know what HODL means?
HODL is used when referring to hold the cryptocurrency rather than selling it.
Holding cryptocurrency is no good because it means you dont have a knowledge about trading, for me, you can do scalping trading and increase your holding by it and gain profit.
I suggest that all in the Crypto community must learn the basic trading fundamentals. There are free tutorials anywhere. Dont be lazy, think big.

Say that to early adopters! Say that to the ones who bought bitcoin for couple cents and hodl them trough very rough times, say that to them if you can come close to them now. Trading isn`t for everyone, even thou people think it is, that`s why most people lose money and coins in trading. Look at that in a simple way, if you trade you risk to lose a lot, if you hodl you are investor that have time for waiting, there are risks, but if you have main coins risk is lowered. And if anyone think that traders do trade with all of their coins you are very wrong, experienced traders have something on a side for hodling, and they have amount for trading!

It has been known for a very long time that holding your investments works very well when the market is going up, there have been many studies about the subject and those that held their investments for longs period of time benefited a lot more than those that traded their portfolios, it is true that in theory trading can produce better results but almost no one can get the results needed to be more profitable than the strategy of holding your coins.
