Ethereum has a huge upside, coin once worth above 1.5k dollars each and right now its about 200 dollar levels and nothing major changed for the coin and it is even better than it used to be and the only reason why it is not going high again is the market, everything else is bullish on ethereum except the market.
As soon as market trend goes up again ethereum will have a huge spike because there are a lot of people expecting ethereum to go up and the miners will stop selling their ethereum after a while which means price HAS TO go up so that people would start selling again.
Stellar has also built itself a great market with the content writing and with the content world of crypto being heavily influenced by stellar I think the world of content writing in crypto space will have to fight to death until stellar worths something again because they are losing more and more money by the drop of price for their works.
Well all the coins that you are holding right now should not be traded. The market is too thin for that. You might not even earn your initial price and a loss is never better than a good future profit. So better hold your coins and wait till we have a nice market.
The advantage of long holding is something that you do not get to avail in case you are trading in the thin market. These are some of the facts very common to everyone out there and this is the only reason behind why these people are still holding their coins.
