I believe the concept of HODLing Bitcoin is nearly as old as Bitcoin itself with the fundamental reason and hope that it will increase more in value over the years. Although several persons are entitled to there own reasons for HODLing, could it be that some persons HODL because they are waiting for the perfect time or they are too scared to sell or lose a percentage of their Bitcoin?
Bitcoin HODL is never a sign of fear as some persons might see it, holding bitcoin is a strategy deployed by bitcoin investors to maximize profit over a long period of time.
If you are determined to survive in your journey to bitcoin investing, the best method should be used, otherwise you will likely loose even loose your own capital.
There are persons who bought bitcoin when the price was relatively very low , let's say more than ten years ago and the same bitcoin is still in their wallet and they have also succeeded in making very massive gain from their little investment.
Bitcoin HODL is the best method to use , all you just have to do is to be patient and courageous, you will definitely make good gain from your investment with time.
