I don't like HODLing, I like scalping.  I'm not saying HOLDing is bad but being HOLDing for a long time will just waste a chance (as you said too).  just look at the last few days, the price of Bitcoin continues to spin at $ 19k then goes down to $ 15k then goes up again to $ 19k, and so on.  being a scalper is not that difficult, the key is to get rid of your greed and laziness, buy when the price drops then sell when you earn a little..
