Well there's nothing wrong with hodling because we know market will recover. but yes the thought of waiting for the market to recover is nonsense when we can exchange it with a coin that has potential to increase realtime or in a shorter period. Hodling is ideal only if you are a busy person and don't have time to check the market every now and then and you choose to let your coin sit for long.
patience is always a virtue and yes, due to the happenings of the market right now which most of us don't actually like the flow of the prices, that's why most of us also are getting scared and it ends into selling their coins, because they're afraid they will lose more if it keeps on falling. having a thought of waiting the market to recover is not actually a nonsense it matters on you if you're thinking for long term investment actually we all know the risk but the fact that we can earn bigger profit if we still holding these coins and wait till the time when it will rise up again it can doubled our money that we invested.
