I think, like Cryptocurrencies, stocks, property and commodities are all subject to market forces, and their value can fluctuate unpredictably. If an investor were to blindly hold on to their assets without considering the market conditions, what's worst, is that they would lose a large part of their investment on the hype of a nascent coin/token.

Granted, HODLing can be a viable strategy for some investors, but in my view it doesn't always work effectively under certain conditions, especially when market conditions change or the investment landscape evolves. tested like you say "Bitcoin is our chance, we can't just pass it up! Wink"
