Holding is the only way for altcoin investors now unless you want to accept your losses and exit but its better to have patience, i have seen coins that worth 1,500$ a year ago and they are now 200$ , i have sold airdrop tokens that should worth 150$ for 10$ to sustain but i am not stupid enough to get rid of all my tokens and coins because market is not in my favour, be wise and remember that those tokens you are getting dispose off can turn something when market start turning for the better, be determined to win,when thinking forward always think backward as well.
For me my work is more important, meaning if a coin with potential worth 2k$ is now price at 15$, Im not stupid enough to sell it just to sustain what are my needs. Be patience cause its not yet end of the world. The 15$ can help but not that great, so I suggest to hold than sell it. It's gonna be a biggest regret of youre life once it happened to pump or worse bigger than what you worked for.
