Actually nobody forces you to stay HODL because it's everyone's right to keep bitcoin when you own it or sell it.
If the problem of loss is actually this every investor should also be aware, because in market movements there will always be new supply and demand which causes price movements to rise and fall.
When this principle is not fully understood, I think we as investors will be very disadvantaged, because it is not impossible that the losses we will get will also be even greater.
Man, the major thing that bothers the OP is the lone exchange in his country that is closing now. I guess he didn't mean his concern was the losses he had because of the market volatility, of course everyone must understand that, but this isn't the case for the OP. Instead, he's talking about the reason why he'll continue to hold his Bitcoin when the only crypto exchange in his country has been closed, because with that service the OP could make an easy transition from fiat to Btc and vice versa.
