HODLing is my expression of believing in bitcoin. Not only believing that the price will rise again. I believe in the idea of a money system without banks. A system that everybody can join and where everybody has the complete responsibility over his doing seems right to me!
I chose to hold because I trust and believe its potential that it can bounce back from crash. Volatility has been its nature, instead of moaning of downturns, it's the best to take a look at the brighter side. It's the best time to take advantage to buy at low price, hold, and sell high when price gets back on track. Price fluctuation is temporary and so there's nothing to panic much about. Staying patience, positive, and determined can help us a lot in making us survive and succeed in crypto world. Don't lose hope.
