I have seen so many people claiming to be HOLDERS, just because they hold their bitcoins as long as the market falls like a few months, they call it that even though their true nature still feels uneasy when negative news arrives and the market does not show positive movement according to what they expected and led to panic. I think true HOLDERS are those who really hold their Bitcoin up to the time limit they specify or how much the coin they hold will grow regardless of outside influences.
Well, there is so many meaning of Holders but the point of it is the person who has a coins and hold it for a long or short period of time when the market price of bitcoin is down. Holders is believing that the price will rise again and we need to wait. Holders are patient because they are willing to wait without any assurance of the rise. Some people are moaning when the price is low and as a holder are coins also is in the lower price.
