Holding is always a good option. But we have to be careful about what we are holding I mean if I hold a good coin like BTC, eth,xrp, etc then I can say for sure that we all can make a good profit from these coins. But holding new coins or shitcoins is too risky for anyone.
especially many that are held by the newbie are shitcoins which are only toys of big players.
The coins like this usually have no future, to serve as a long-term investment instrument.
