Late 2017 and early 2018 i was holding lots of coins and tokens from the ico's in that some i really trusted with solution and team (not only me most of crypto community trusted). Now this coins or token became nothing . But some projects i entered to sell for small margin profit these projects given profit . So holding token or coin for long term is meaningless.
In a highly volatile market, there is no such thing as one rule or specific rules, not because some people are preaching HODL you will right away HODL any coins, you need to check each coin that you are going to hodl long term if these coins deserve to HODL long term, do not rely on these so-called experts and Crypto influencers you need to do your thing, it's your money.
