Just give up HODLING and admit you have been taken for a ride by some big spenders, it will not go up for atleast another year.
you make it sound like holding an investment for one year to see gains (and if bitcoin's past is any indication... huge gains) is a valid reason to just give up 
I'd hold for 10 years to get the kind of returns bitcoin saw last year!
Same plan buddy, I plan to HODL for a long long time.
