Newbies can easily be influenced from what they hear from speculations.. I've read several times people tend to advice to hold long term. because its easy for them to say JUST HOLD cause theyre not the one losing! For me its not all about holding, its being smart about your own invesment know when to stop and cut the losses.
What are your thoughts?
In the reality things happened here in the forum, most novice are excited to earn fast, it is very seldom for them to hold their coins in a long term. Instead of studying first, they are eager to earn quickly. So, hold is depend on you, how you you are going to hold on the beliefs you have in the coins. You will, only stop holding if you know that once you sell, it is already more than the amount of you purchased.
