Its either you hodl on it and survive or sell it and get nothing
I don't believe on that mate, we know that we are all here for the gains and whenever you sell your bitcoin to fiat you must always at that moment be on profits but not comparing a long term hodler to a short term hodler for profits, so, whenever anyone sell bitcoin they must have or make their respective profits imo. It's true that bitcoin is a life boat, and those who strongly believe in it will definitely survive the challenges and at the end be victorious.
We have different take upon this as others cannot take to hold due to some financial reasons where they think its enough for them to sell so that they have money to use on their tables thats why I'm kinda not agree with th word sell and get nothing there. Only rich guys can afford to hodl and most of low ballers in crypto are the one who take their profit and cashout.
I also believe bitcoin is a lifeboat since imagine when pandemic times where all is in lockdown some people income has been stop and we are lucky that bitcoin is here where it give us continuous profit.
