Is Bitcoin hodling more important? well I have read a couple of post which always talk about owning Bitcoins which is definitely a good idea especially as someone in the crypto space however will hodling Bitcoin be important without proper understanding of Bitcoin and the crypto space? Of course not.
Well, I think that before a Bitcoiner will even be able to hold their Bitcoin, they should have gained proper knowledge about it; otherwise, they can't hold their asset for a very long time for some reasons. An example is myself, when I was still not so experienced with Bitcoin.
Some years ago, I would usually wonder how Bitcoin even works; I never knew how to or where to buy it, and I did not know that there was anything called a cold or hot wallet. I did not know that I could lose my Bitcoin if I exposed my private key or wallet phrase.
Fast forward to when I started learning about Bitcoin. I did not know that if I overinvested in Bitcoin, I would not be able to hold it for a long time because any time I had an arising need, I would still sell my coin and use the money to attend to my financial needs.
I know that during my early days in Bitcoin, I was so scared of price volatility because I always wondered what would happen if Bitcoin fell and my investment would just be a waste. But now I know better and have more knowledge about investing in Bitcoin. Some people could not hold their Bitcoin because they were also scared of price volatility, so they panicked and sold off their Bitcoin. With proper knowledge about Bitcoin, an investor will not panic during price volatility because volatility is a very known characteristic of Bitcoin.
Fast forward to when I started learning about Bitcoin wallets, and then I realized that we have wallets that are open source and closed source, and that there are also the best wallets for Bitcoin. Like the electrum wallet and the blue wallet for mobile users.
So, OP, it is very vital for someone to properly learn about Bitcoin and how to invest in Bitcoin; otherwise, they might not be able to hold so tight.
