some may have pre fork btc sitting around. so by default, it doesnt really matter as one has all versions since anyway.

HODL has many advantages for the lazy.

No kidding. Especially for the more security-conscious.

If it takes time and travel to access most of your many cold storage wallets, there's a tendency to leave them alone.

Therefore they tend to still contain all the forkcoins along with the real Bitcoin.

When the need to sell some coin arises, it's easier to sell post-fork coins because they're probably closer at hand.

yes, deliberately making cold storage coins (somewhat? very?) hard to get is a help. youll only access them if its really, really worth it, and it will take days anyway. such a cold storage strategy
is fairly good protection against sudden idiot moves, said idiot being me.

As it is, whenever I sweep a cold storage wallet, I mark it as swept and keep it for possible future forkcoin retrieval.

that too, but also ive tried to keep keys or seeds for every wallet and address (whether paper/hardware/software/whatever format) ive ever used. mainly to show i still control them and can prove it if needed. that ive had and still have direct control of addresses many of my coins lineage contains may come in handy when i cash them out if a bank or etc want proof i mined them, need the cost basis, etc.
