There are more vulnerable risk in short trade than HODL. I made some personal research into these two categories of cryptocurrency and came out with fact that are comprehensible enough to be a HODLER than to get involve into short trade. The volume of risk between these two categories varies from 12.4VL : 53.0VL, while on the research HODLING for a long-term is better than the short-term HODLING and better than short-trading.
