There's nothing dumb when you hodl, it's simply the best decision in the long term, unless you're a great trader. I read several times articles and they all agree that in the long term hodling is the best move. Congratulations for hodling for almost 10 years now, that's actually impressive!
"Hodling" for the long haul is only for those who can afford doing so. People who need the money right away to survive, won't be capable of doing this. The OP is brave enough to "hodl" Bitcoin for such a long time, even with the temptations to sell at higher market prices. If he keeps up, he might become more wealthy than any of us.
Yeah course if you don't have any particular economical problem hodling is easier, but I know several people who don't actually need to make more money and yet at the first 2x they sell everything. A gain is always a gain, but if you don't need the money then why selling? I wouldn't do it, but everyone is different.
