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.
I agree in experience we never see altcoins have a pump at a very high price for a long term investment it was just pumping its market price and then going down again,
the best thing you could do is just to sell it if you already see the profit in your investment holding it until you could sell it more than you buy it was already a profit also you could just study the chart of the token you invested in, so that you know it it is a opportunity for you to invest in the altcoin or the token or it is a good opportunity for you to sell it.
