There is a big gap between Bitcoin holding and gambling. The fundamental thing that comes up first is that Bitcoin has volatility so it can go from high to low. But in gambling there is no such chance. Gamblers bet money either get it back or lose it. If lost there is no second chance. One of the great successes of Bitcoin is that some people win even when they lose temporarily. What does that mean? From what I can see, those who bought Bitcoin at the highest price around $70K can also boast of being Bitcoin holders. Because it will go to that stage again. While I can't guarantee the timing here, I can assure that it will reach that level or exceed that price. Those who held bitcoins at whatever price they were purchased did not lose. But those who fail to put it in their basket are losers. There may also be times when a Satoshi becomes most desirable assets and most expensive. So everyone should make good use of their time. Many people aim to get rich quick from bitcoin but the important lesson is “If You Can't Hold, You Won't Be Rich” which is my favorite quote from CZ about holding.
This is one of the best things about Bitcoin. If you bought Bitcoin high, it will come back to that price. Those who can withstand it in the intervening time can profit again. Bitcoin has never let its investors down. Always HODL.
