Then you're in the wrong business. Don't hold coins. Invest in actual companies, concepts... Not the coins. The wolves will eat you alive if that is your stance.
Holding coins is not my business. I will continue to hold BTC/BC and a few other alts I believe in. You talk like nobody has ever profited from holding long-term. Everything you say could be applied to BTC right now too... but I'm not fucking selling my stash of that either.
I'm a web developer currently building things to support BTC and the alts I see long-term potential in. That is my business. Yes, I will profit from it, regardless of my BTC/BC/alt holdings.
