Why do you refuse to face the reality of the present state of the crypto market? I always laugh when I see people still talking about long term hodl when the reality is staring us in the face. Don't be a fool, only the smart are leading the race in the crypto sphere of today. Why do you decide to hodl when you know that the price may dump? Why not sell at the peak and then you can buy back at the bottom. The race is not to the fool but to the wise. Selling at the peak and buying back at bottom is wisdom but holding at the peak expecting a magic spike is foolishness. Bull run is not here yet, do not expect a magic spike. When the bull run is here, you don't need a prophet to tell you that. Be smart.
A bit earlier I was a trader (a speculator) I did not used to hold assets for long time. It was cool but too risky and I was tired of trading and moreover I did not sleep well I was too nervous until I have become an investor. To be an investor is much more pleasant than a trader. Just I need is to make an excellent research, diversify my money and wait, sometimes looking at quotas. I do not excruciate myself by day trading anymore. I noticed that investors are viable than traders because they hazard much less as well as they spend much less time in suspense.
Nothing discourages a person to be either an investor or a trader, every person makes an own choice oneself
