I think you should just stick to what you believe, everybody with his/her opinion about things, some will definitely choose to hold why some will prefer to trade, atlast both will get a particular result suitable for their decision. Just keep doing your thing, don't follow anybody but your mind.
Yes, one thing I must say for people who are holding since long time like 5-10 years, they have done a great job by not losing the private keys because imagine someone buying $50 worth bitcoins and then being alert enough to save the private keys for future.
following your own desires is the best lesson in trading, because everything or experience is the best teacher,
if you get through the hardships when trading Bitcoin, then you will be successful in trading on the future, I'm sure
Following your desires and greed is the last thing I would suggest anyone doing when trading. You must operate based on how the market is behaving because if one was to go with desires I would rather ask them to gamble than to trade because trading requires knowledge, control over emotions/desires and a solid head that lets you take correct decisions.
