I think we will have to compromise some of our Freedoms for the common good and to see Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies flourish. Unless the whole system of world governance is overhauled, we can't really see the rise of Bitcoin and long term HODL, as well as the mass utility of it unless we have some regulation and intervention. We want mass adoption and many people hodling Bitcoin but that will come at a price. We want total freedom, then we need first to get rid of the poor governance we have and that will take a long time. For now, though the HODL still applies and it's a long term one for many I believe.
Agree with you, there a lot of things to change when wanting to make Bitcoin adapted by the majority. I believe that there is going to be a regulation and intervention for us to be able to see the price becoming stable. But this is not really the of crypto, it should give us the total freedom from any third trusted party. Still prefer to hold since I believe that with or without intervention, the future of Bitcoin is great and bright.
