why do we hodl bitcorns ?....to fuck the next sucker over, right?
No, Same reason as why we hodl GOLD.
Because when hodling USD/EUR you are sure to get fucked over.
With GOLD you have at least something in your hands, no matter if it is really worth the price or not. Bitcoins are just bits, only virtual, nothing manifested. You cant hold it in your hands like money (yeah its only paper), gold, ice cream or whatever. I think most people, including me, have problems with this.
