I do trade and hold some coins as well. Most of the tokens/coins I hold is due to the current value, I wouldn't waste time to exchange them for pennies but rather hold them for a couple of years. Some seem to be cool and promising projects.
Like my mindset, I'm not willing to exchange my most held coins for pennies and cents. I do day trade but I'm looking forward for decent profit, holding is effortless and is likely more profitable.
