this is interesting, because everyone will often make this decision. traders, investors, or speculators.

the term "HODL" appeared in 2013, and came from a GameKyubi post in this forum. with the big theme "I AM HODLING"

This is the link for that: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0

he posted the theme because bitcoin dropped to $ 600 from $1300.

and today, investors prefer hodl. but, what is the decision for traders today? or many investors are turning into traders?

Yes. Hodlers and traders are two different things.

Hodlers tend to do nothing and are only waiting for the right time to sell. While traders, they are the ones that are actively trading regardless of the market condition, they will continue to trade, in dip or in bulls. No stats with this but majority now would choose to hold.

Yes, I completely agree with your opinion on this topic. Those who hodl the coins are just waiting for the time until the price of the coin will increase. And traders don't think about the market situation, they do consistently trading the coins as per the daily basis.
