From analysis, it has been argued severally that hodlers are winner and earn more profits than traders, this depends on your expertise and where you fall into. The current situation now means that anyone that bought lower and didn't take profit because of greed or another reason will soon be at loss or breakeven if things continue to go down. Now many people are lamenting because they didn't expect this at this time and didn't take profit because they thought the uptrend will last more for better profit. For people that has been here for long knows the cycle and this kind of situation is inevitable. For people that can be patient I think they can still get back to the former or expected profit but this is not guaranteed. In my opinion I think it's better to hodl and take profit at the right time and wait for the dip to buy back more quantities and wait for more profit. This way you earn more profits. What do you feel is best to do when holding a coin, please share your opinions!
Your arguments are generally correct. However, the most important thing here is to choose the moment when to fix the profit, that is, to sell the cryptocurrency that has risen in price and withdraw funds at least in stablecoins or in another cryptocurrency. After all, it often happens that after fixing a small profit, the price of this cryptocurrency continues to grow for a long time. Then we regret the premature decision.
In general, what I want to say: this market is very unpredictable and we will have lost profits no matter how hard we try to avoid it. Direct material damage already depends on our experience. Here it is already important not to panic.
