For me, hodling means keeping your bitcoin until you really need and then selling, but only as little as possible.

Also, since I got into bitcoin, I always had some imaginary bitcoin pirce that I was sure will make me sell everything that I have, but every time we reach that level (10k, 50k, 100k etc), I sold only a fraction of it, and so far it proved to be a winning tactic.

Regarding hodling bitcoin forever, I see no point of it because bitcoin is money, and what's the point of money if you don't use it?
