that is the conclusion I came to as well.
I decided for me, that bitcoin is nothing more than a very good payment tool. I am glad I found it although quite late.
however holding bitcoin even one day cost me money.
I deposited with circle 2 days ago, it took them a day to get it done, then today I transferred to my wallet then into my sportsbook, they go by bitstamp price, so I am already down with fees and depreciation of btc spot
I have held coin longer. I will hold it longer still. I will buy more or trade for more or will sell something for BTC.
Should everyone? Nope. Know what you are willing to lose and draw the line at that. It could all go south in a blink.
