True but bitcoin has always been offering lesser risks but some still prefer to invest in altcoins and we know most of this liquidation definitely comes from altcoin and so just better to let them know even in the altcoins HODLing is still better though is just for them to do more research and hope they investing in the right one or just stick with bitcoin.
Also for me, HODLing altcoin as a shorter spam which can be 6 months to 2 years while Bitcoin for as long as you would like.
That makes sense with what you've said. While there are investors that always look forward with the altcoins, that's because how they see the altcoins market to be a good part of this market to take some quick money.
As that span is likely how it should be for most of the altcoins that they want to hold. There is no doubt that Bitcoin isn't going to be beaten if it's about the longest term of holding it.
Many even considered it as a retirement fund whilst for some altcoins, maybe ETH is the contender but other than that if it's the reason for holding Bitcoin, it's hard to compare it with some altcoins there.
