Even if I have bought some bitcoin a few days after the launch day, there is a 99% chances that I would have sold the Bitcoin, the enemies of holding Bitcoin for a newbie is
1. Market manipulators
2. My own psychology
Market manipulators must have made me want to wet my pants, in the past years there are many FUD about Bitcoin, calling it another bubble, this could have made me give up.
We all have our demons too, I could have listened to them, saying, sell, sell, sell, you dummy, this thing is going to die and you will lose all your capital.
I believe it's a good thing to have grown with Bitcoin all this past years and have grown the confidence to hold through any weather, Bitcoin have proven itself to be the best solution to decentralization.
Now I don't hear my demons trying to confuse me to sell, I was there once, I knew how it felt to believe in something you don't have trust in, today I've made up my mind, to always be with Bitcoin.
You are not too late, you just find the reason to keep supporting Bitcoin, to keep holding your Bitcoin bag. My confidence in Bitcoin is now 100%.
Your depth of confidence with holding your bitcoin as long as necessary came with your long experience with bitcoin seeing how sustainable, reliable and dependable the coin is sure to be in any weather even when other coins are falling. And it may not be so with others, of which I don't blame them as they have gotten some level of experience with bitcoin over the years and this can affect their confidence about the coin when some kind of FUD is spread with such intend to make them sell even at loss.
