Hodling is not as easy the way people thinks, people always misunderstand it to be very smooth and this where the problem starts. But I think hodling is still simple when people understand what it is  well, when hodling is well understood their is no much expectation of gaining profit just in a short time. One of the problems people usually have when it comes to hodling is that they predict to make their profit in their own time, they really do not understand volatility that it makes the market to be unpredicted.  I'll say hodling is easy but people misunderstand it based on their on perspective.  People who really understand what hodling is don't struggle with hodling and they stick to it to the end to achieve their goals.
