Who doesn't panic, everyone will panic seeing their portfolio falling deep, but then again investors the goal is not now this is not the end of everything, surviving will be better even the 4-year plan for hodl is still long then it can be to get through the current situation.
Subjectively, not everyone would be panicking because some are already waiting for this time to come especially those good at analysis, following patterns and professional advise such as the informations we gather hear most peoplw wouldn't be panicking during this temporary down trend of bitcoin. If anyone should be panicking apart from short term investors it should be shitcoiners who believes some kind of scam coins.
Fuck investopedia. They are wrong about the meaning of HODL. Furthermore, if you are believing that HODL applies to shitcoins in the same way as bitcoin, then you don't seems to be sufficiently understanding of the difference between bitcoin and shitcoins...
Perhaps not everyone understands the fact that bitcoin it a paradigm which is absolutely not of the same category with shitcoins. Every one holding shitcoins are just gamblers trying out some kind of odds hoping it goes in there favour but bitcoin is certainly not anything relating to that which is a very big identifier or differential point to not in categorising bitcoin and shitcoins.
Additionally we can not make definitions for anyone so it's up to every individual to decided whatsoever they want regarding bitcoin and shitcoins.
