No doubt, the power of HODLing/Long-term investment is huge but we should fully understand the asset we are talking about as well. As at then, Bitcoin was so cheap, we should never forget that, such an insane success where $0.2 becomes above $70,000 will never happen again judging by the expensive price it is now and the current market capitalization, or else, Bitcoin will become something else. So, HODLing worked really fine then, but in my view, we may HODL but we should think beyond it now to maximize our gains.
Note:: remember to keep your coins safe too that's base on the preference of a non-custodial wallet or cold wallet if you are HODLing for long term
This is another good consideration, it's different to have a successful investment, it's another thing you keep the investment safe. Many have lost access to their BTC wallets while others are victims of hacking and other frauds, but this is left to us, we should take our Bitcoin safety seriously.
