Holding is only for those you can afford to take risks for the rainy day and as long as the earth remains challenges are part of human experience and as such so much would tempt one sell some coin.
Holding is a way how to invest Bitcoin and other assets for the long term, whatever the condition of the market, holding should go on and this will not influence the feeling and emotion at that time.
Holding is like we buy something for long-term investment with our own risks, save them, and likely forget them for a certain period.
If we are holding, we intend them to be at a certain price when we are going to sell, or it will also depend on how long we are going to hold.
That is why, holding needs exactly free money, where we will not need the money in a certain period., pure free money.
And you are true about live must go on. And as long as we still have some income or we are going to still have some income from crypto, we can also do short-term holding or even trading. So, we can separate the assets for long term and short term in order to take profits.
