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.
as your explanation above to be honest, what coin/token are your concerns? because I have same experience like you. expecting coin for raising more than reality is really bad idea. I ever hold a token which is worth $9000. I hold it due this project will launch their mainnet, so I hope the price this is project will rise like crazy. but did you know what happened? they are turning and jumping all the way down, so I lost approx $6000. this really a bad Idea. Holding without learning will make pain. my suggestion is don't be greedy, just put a normal and rational profit. calculate all of your risks before take an action. good luck
