Just how do you define your hodling recommendation? Is it really forever or does it have any exceptions?
OP it is a personal matter, everyone has different plans. Some are looking for short term profits, some are planning to hold for long term. But no one will hold Bitcoin forever. And what is the benefit of holding forever? If you ask me about this, then I will not hold Bitcoin forever. Of course I will hold for long term, like 8-10 years plan, I invested hoping for good returns in future. Now if you are in profit you can try to sell and buy again but the best is to hold for long term.
There should a good reason why anyone should sell their Bitcoin, for small profit no most people that has done that always regret doing it, holding for long of course is the best because that is the only way out asset can compound it value, I have my Bitcoin investment which am still buying to hold for as long as I can which could be more than 8 to 10 years and I know it must not be forever but I when I have gotten to a well deserved target when the time comes selling will only be part of it strategically and not selling all at once but no doubt about the fact that anyone can do whatever they like with their Bitcoin holding.
