HODL, HODL and HODL, as hard as this looks this is simply the way, all you need is lots of patience after DYOR on the coins or tokens, if you want to judge HODL just sit back and look at the past coins you sold, see? There will always the kings among them isn't it? Here is my painful experience and lessons

1. In 2016 I had 1million doge coin ( sold in 2019)
2. In 2017 I owned 12 ETH ( sold in 2019)
3. I bought YOUC aka YouEngine over 1million pieces which was 0.0003$ and today it's 0.65$

There are other coins I sold too early for example PYR at 2$ and it's now 9$, though I need the money at the time and my mistakes is I sold all instead of leaving some parts behind

The key to trading is patience. If you have that amount of patience then everything will be possible in the crypt. The coins you have mentioned are really very profitable. So be patient so that there is no financial crisis. But again, didn't need your money. If you had, you would have sold it.
Then you can benefit by holding.It is basically for your patience.

Aside from Ethereum and Dogecoin that you've said above might have an assurance that you can earn profit but the last one I don't know that coin.
Don't feel any regret because you have sold that coin in 2019 for sure there's a good purpose, isn't it?  If you've profited during the day you've sold your coin, that is fine for me IMO.  Because I usually do hold too but when I most needed and there's no other option to take, I better to sold my holding that I'm pretty sure that I'm also get profited.

The word HODL is indeed good if you can able to prolong it that a better one, but I don't know why Bitcoin didn't include you in your list which is this has a good potential too, and look at the market price, Bitcoin was also hit on price and ATH and for sure it will surge back again a short correction will be done.

First of all, in my opinion it isn't every coin that is actually worth hodling, people make that mistake and run into losses, personally I for one do not really fancy majority of altcoins as long term projects that should be held for too long, many of them are pump and dump coins so it'll prolly be better you take your ROI when there is a pump, and if you decide not to, it could dump sooner than you think and prolly may not go as high as it did previously.

Having said that, people regret not hodling a coin cause it just reached it's atm, but they seem to forget that they may prolly have not held it for that long and nonetheless would have still sold it along the way as well. There is actually no need regretting that you sold some of your stash, presumably when you sell it's to handle something in real life, which is not bad at all, and if you have made it a habit of regretting when you sell and you're hodling a good coin, then you'll regret more often than not because you'll definitely see a higher price sometime along the line after you sell.

HODL only applies to Bitcoin, because Bitcoin is a solid technology with strong fundamentals. It has a good reason to be worth more in the future than it is today, because it actually has users and adoption is going on, and more people - from small retail investors to billionaires and top economists, start to acknowledge it as a store of value. But nothing like that happens to shitcoins, their value is based on the hype and bigger fool theory - they grow because the buyers believe they will sell it to someone for a much higher price, that's the only purpose of shitcoins like DOGE. Sooner or later they will reverse their direction and crash very hard and won't rise again, because this hype can't go on forever.

Bitcoin is for hodling.
Shitcoins are to sell whenever you have the chance to get a good/excellent profit because we all know how they work.

Sometimes if you HODL a wrong coin you will miss the chance to sell it that's you just did your part for selling those coins because you don't feel like there's a chance for them in the future. And so the word nobody knows is right when we are talking about the future and this goes the same to any other coin/crypto.

Most of us made a wrong decision in the past just like what OP did since no one actually know what would be the future. And holding only applies to Bitcoin since it has a solid foundation ever since in the past 10 years. If you want to HODL choose the right coin(s) not every coins is worth it to hodl.

HODL is not for trading and with trading, you have to need determination to exit your position. You need patience to make entry in trading but patience for exit is not necessary. It is more necessary for investment, mid-term or long-term.

With trading, you must exit at a take-profit price or cut-loss price you identify before making your entry.

What OP implied is investment, not trading.

Definitely HODL those shitcoins...  ;)

In 2012, I mined about 2500 FTC, then worth about $25, because it was lighter than litecoin and was going to dominate. Now after 8 years, its worth about $6.
In 2013, I bought about 10 AUR for around $300, because it was going to be airdropped in Iceland, Now it's worth about $0.30.
In 2014, I bought 100 XPY for about $1000 because the developer set a price floor. The developer went to prison and now it's worth about $1.

Many years ago I mined a dozen different altcoins on Multipool including NVC, TRC, MOON, WDC, ... None of them are worth anything now.

So except bitcoin everything for you are all shitcoin? I think shitcoin refers to those projects that doesnt add up value or cant have use cases on outside real world that helps in the goal of cryptocurrency. Yes some maybe a second hand version of bitcoin, but there are some features that are worth taking a look. Im not saying you are wrong but your statement is also not correct for in others perspective.

The key is always patience. If you have a cold head and are not afraid of the market conditions then you will win the race. Everyone here in the past has gone through the same situation like @OP has but only after such experience that you will understand the meaning of patience and HODL.

Actually, I intended my post not to collide with other's perception on what a shitcoin is, that is the reason I did not mention any specific project besides BTC. I wanted both a Bitcoin maximalist and a Dogecoin-to-1$ enthusiast to read my post and agree with it.

Which means: I agree with your point of view and I need to improve my redaction/expression skills in English.  :P

While this is true, this only shows the one side of things, which means this doesn't necessarily bring us into a conclusion that indeed HODL is the best thing to do in the crypto market. In every 1 coin or token you mentioned to have reached quite a success, the entire crypto market could give you perhaps a hundred which have simply died without reaching a single milestone. Of course, your keyword is DYOR but then it still doesn't give any guarantee. How many coins in the top 100 in 2015, for example, are still at the top 100 right now? 

Maybe I can agree with your example (dogecoin is a shitcoin bound by Elon hype) . Those two are really comparable to a rat and a lion in terms of use cases. Im not a bitcoin maxi but I intend to use it from time to time since it ia widely used globally. Anyway I am holding fractions of it and believed on holding it since Im sure its value will still be appreciate years from now but that goes to some altcoins I am rooting for. ( Probably not a dogecoin collection)

If you hodl bitcoin, you have only little remaining to do because it is not like shit coins, it is a coin of high marketcap already and the risk is not like altcoin. There are still very good other coins to hold, but it will needs more research, I can still say studying a coin with over $500000 marketcap is not bad at all, but holding bitcoin will make the work less for you and yet you will later have to make profit.

There are tokens that you thought that it will bring profit when you sold it later on. I have own a tokens before and if I did sold it sooner then the ETH I would received would have been much higher compared to selling it now. The amount of eth I can get that time is higher compared to this day.

It's easy to claim that you are indeed holding coins for long time and sold it in a good price without a proof wallet address that holding it to verify the transaction in Blockchain. Even I can claim I hold $DOGE since 2013 and sold it yesterday that gives me a million profit. I'm not a hater of this kind of inspirational post but atleast make it realistic by providing proof. We are all anonymous here and it will be very hard for ther person to believe on someone post here without any evidence supporting it especially when person is claiming something great things that he did.

Then there is the fact that no one has patience to wait 5+ years for this. This will be especially hard when the price goes down, and there's always a change that the coin you are holding actually dies. That has happened to me several times so be prepared to lose everything with hodling.

There are also people who bought thousands of Dogecoin at the peak @$0.74 and now they worth 30% of the investment. So, don't forget the other side of HODL shitcoins, any coin other than bitcoin. You will have the risk of losing your investment.

Everyone needs money at some point, and if that’s why you have to sell something, then there’s no point in regretting it later. I consider Bitcoin primarily as a currency I use in my daily life, but that doesn’t stop me from still being a long-term holder because I believe Bitcoin is also a very good store of value and a great hedge against inflation.

During my first years in the crypto world, I collected various altcoins mostly through faucets, and some are worth quite a bit today, while others are worth almost nothing. I agree that with altcoins it is not a good strategy to hold for long-term, but somewhere in 2014 or 2015 the price of 1000 Dogecoins was only $0.14, today 1 D is worth more than $ 0.20, imagine that ::)

Market has change, unlike before when we used to have a bull run where everyone sell off and start over again but now things have changed, institutional have taken over and wouldn't want to tank price like it do happen in the past.
Now that we have all learn our lessons for selling for a penny, buy now and hold for more years, you will enjoy the benefits of Hodl.

I'm guessing that's your first experience as a newbie and the fact is we all have to survive first before thinking about holding coins, to hold peacefully for a long term you have to make sure the money you use for investment isn't from your daily survival money, make sure you have a job secured that you can live on, lot having a source of incoming and holding is a bad idea

There are two things in crypto one of trading while other is HODLing. While trading is not for everyone, its only for experienced people. On the other hand HODL is just for people who have patience. Just buy on dip and relax, you don't have to take any tension if you have bought your coin at right dip. HODLers rarely cry for loss. DYOR before chosing any of this strategy.

It is obvious that it is good to hold coin. In the atmosphere of bitcoin the means of holding coin has made people rich or wealthy. In my own perceptive it is good to hold coins or token but the problem is weather you are holding a scam coin that will not prosper in the future of cryptocurrency. So before you will start yo hold many coins you have to totally investigate the coin and know the purpose in the forum or in the cryptocurrency world. It is better that you will hold bitcoin so that you will not regret in tge future

Having patience and a strong grip to hold your coins for a long period of time is a very good way to get a jackpot. Imagine the quantity of DOGE held at that time, being sold at when the price came to the highs of $7, that would have been on a strong profit that will still be celebrated, or the ETH.
Holding coins that are of great potentials for the long run is one thing that patience can bring forward in this crypto market. Patience is a key to infinity profits in this system, though, at times it is being said not to be greedy. To a point get out some of the profits and get other coins for diversification of assets, so when there is a deep, you have something out.
Bitcoin is really a coin to be held for the very long run in the crypto market, as it's adoption is growing heavily with lots of backers and supporters round the world.

Its not easy to hold especially if you're just relying with the possible income of that investment. Unless if the money you invest is not meant for important things and you also have other resources to earn money. Holding is really profitable if you invest in bitcoin and other established coins. It will certainly pays off in time if you have patience. However its only for those who can bear seeing the market declining at times and able to refrain themselves to sell.

We dont know what lies ahead thus its understandable if we have regrets for selling early, however it happened already so move on. But you gain from it right? So I think its enough just look forward that you wont repeat the same decision for not waiting further.

Well, it can't all be gloom. I believe there are some too that you hEdl and they gave you great ROI. Life itself doesn't bestow on us only good things. We should recognize that there are also things that make us sorrowful along the way. After all, it's said that life isn't a bed of roses and that even among roses there are torns. I also have my fair share of tokens I hedl that became worthless before my eyes. However, that isn't denying the fact that a few that I hedl also brought me great pleasure. Dogecoin is one of such.

If OP decides to hodl without any plan of trading their coins for a while, it will better to stake them and earn extra on them. Staking while hodling is better than just hodling.

Yes, holding requires alot of patience. But apart from patience and discipline by the holder, there are other factors such as;
1. How to determine if actually you are holding the right coin: It pains when you invest and hope for something that will in the end turn worthless.
2. When the need for money arises. You cannot be holding and have some financial challenges. You will need to ask yourself "what am I even holding for"

This is a lame advice, I've made over 30,000$ from crypto and 90% of the money is from altcoins not BTC, altcoins gives me more profits than bitcoin, people who buy coins like avalanche, polkadot, matic, and other NFT coins like axie infinity made insane money more than they'd made from BTC

I think that's also true. This reminds me of the first time I invested in coin (A) that ended up losing money holding onto a coin that had no supply or demand in the market, was abandoned by the developer and felt like a dead coin. I am talking about my bad experience in the past.

Regarding point 2. for me personally, it is a difficult challenge to make a decision in every choice. when pressed for economic needs, do not have any savings left, then inevitably I take the option by selling some of the assets and holding some for a certain period of time or at least until I can actually return half of the asset coins sold.

I think you meant by investing? Trading may require patience but you have to prevent yourself from being too greedy by waiting out too much. Once you see the prices of your coins increase, you have to decide whether to sell or to keep them. Generally, whenever I see a 3-5% increase on the coins that I have, I sell them and re-purchase some new coins and add them to my portfolio.

Investing, on the other hand, requires tremendous amounts of patience. Like here in cryptocurrencies, your best guide will always be the price history index of BTC. Just imagine, its price increased by 10% this week. Though some have argued to sell, most are convinced to HODL for long-term.

Agree with are you're saying, investing requires a lot of patience because you invested on that project because you know they will grow but sometimes it takes a lot of time before it grows. Investing on a project takes at least weeks or months. Investing means you need to HODL for a long term, it's also a life saving for you because that's a money that will be withdrawn if that coin perform a new ATH. History repeats itself and I always note that Q4 is always the month where BTC goes higher, it's a recover or a new ATH.

This.
I got a bit lucky from the tokens that I held in my MEW in 2017, and good thing that I knew how to sell them before they turned into a shitcoin. Never bothered holding any other coins after that incident. :D
Now all those coins sold turned into Bitcoin and I had never regretted any single satoshi bought.

The road to success in crypto is hodling the right coin and being patient enough while you hodl. Although the market can seem unpredictable at times but having the potential coins in your portfolio there will be no cause for alarm cos it will end up giving the right profits if only you can be patient and optimistic

Sometimes people try to hold on to some coins, but they don't know when to sell them. Because it's not always true, hold is the best way. Of course the most correct is to hold and have a target to release it, that would be better in my opinion. After that, if you are sure of the coins you released, then you can buy them again after a correction, because I believe that for every increase there must be a correction.

One of the main and important thing about crypto trading is patience, once someone can be patient to hold a crypto coin, he/she will be suppressed. There are many crypto coin that one was to live, but unfortunately sold out due to financial situation, and now watch that same crypto coin pump more than 5x the price you sold it out. Holding is really important and has been generating more profit in cryptocurrency world.

With my little experience holding is the best way, especially for holding for a long period of time. When you can hold a bitcoin or some even altcoin coins for long time there are always a probability that the coins will surely increase in their price for example l bought Bitcoin worth of 200$ when the price was still at $30k and  I have been holding for more than a year now.so with the current price have make some profit and if I can leave it for good five years will surely make it more than my expectation. In fact see those  that hold doge coin for long time, their are now a millionaire some are billionaire. So I believe hodl is the way

we all keep making the same mistakes. we never know what coming for us. i can't count the number of altcoins that I sold very cheap and they blow up within months. uniswap, you, FRM, Dogecoin and avalanche. i was lucky to buy AVE infinity. i think that is the only bag I am holding and It was a good investment. i tried holding ORN but it is not making any good move.

If crypto investing is not paying your bills, then holding on and not selling is the way to go. I mean, why not see where things will go. I understand that some people don't have that luxury and have to withdraw their investments every now end then, but if you don't just hold on to it, this is just the begining. 

Exactly hold is the way, if we rwally pick the right coin. but if we pick the wrong coins based on pump and dump, it is very risky and may not b able to turn our capital.
That is why if we mean to Hold coins, whatever it is, we must analyze surely that the coin will really have big potential and survival in the future, moroever crossing the bearish time and heading to bullish era.
Just watch out, be more careful and wiser whatever we are doing here, for holding or even trading.

Is these what you say?? ..that if crypto doesn't pay your bills for the time being then they aren't useful? No!
That shouldn't be the mindset Op :(
Remember crypto wasn't created with these huge market price and quality, it took a gradual process to get there and it's from every single sense of patience and rehabilitation that took it there, so at the point it was still in its embryo stage it means if you had a chance to have 12,000 btc's, you would have sold them out at a PEANUT rate , bustling!!

Just holding the coins until the end of their days does not make sense. We need to live for today, having fun, and money will be a good helper for us in this.Therefore, FoMO will be a bad companion for us, preventing us from living fully, reminding us again and again of the lost profit.

As for me, if you just buy and hold you will surely face a question of time in which you should not sell. This strategy is flawed because it does not foresee the ultimate goal. Thus, you can always think that the price will go up again and again, and this may even be so, but such an investment will not bring any qualitative changes to your life, since you will always postpone the opportunity to use income, considering that it is still few. Therefore, investments must be determined by your own strategy, which is aimed at some price or time, otherwise their results will remain ephemeral and imperceptible.

Well, for some cases HODL is indeed a good way, however, we never know what the futures hold. I have a bad experience withholding my assets back in 2019. I didn't sell my assets at ATH and was greedy wishing for a higher price. I did research carefully about the project until I decided to invest my money there. I saw the team members are doxxed and solid. But I was making mistake thou', I don't know at that time if it was a red flag or not but they changed their direction, and I was too blind to see, I was too confident that they'll take care of our investment or even I was still hoping they could bring us to the previous ATH and they claimed in bankruptcy at the end. My assets were valued at zero in a night.

Well, from this I think I can tell that at least for me, the keyword is not holding but managing the risk. Just like what you said, your mistake is "I sold all instead of leaving some parts behind" while, I held all of them instead of selling some parts at ATH.

Hodling is a very basic and useful strategy for traders to make money. It can be fruitful in the longer term. However, it can also be risky if you don’t invest in the right crypto coins. Analysis and research is critical.

Exactly holding is the best way only if you are in right coin like btc but it won't help if you are still holding onto the meme coins that have no growth perspective will end up you in zero balance state so holding them is waste of time which should be avoided.

It can be done if they do not intend to make money from trading every day and use it as their additional way.
We know that some people use trading as their main job, which makes them unable to hold longer than the other people.
Maybe they can hold some coins for a long time, but they will sell their coins at any price if they need money.
The risk will always follow, including in the investment that we made before so we need to manage the risk.

Can't agree more, just hodl... I once had 101 Bitcoins, which I mined, but sold years ago... Also mined Doge and sold years ago...

A friend of mine, who deals with crypto trading, said recently that hodling has become a more profitable and secure way to acquire crypto than trading.
In fact, it is very difficult to be successful all the time in any trading, especially crypto trading.
On the other hand, some long-term growth trends of btc, eth and other major cryptocurrencies can be seen, so it seems easier to hodl the major cryptocurrencies than to trade.

For those who have enough money to mange home's basic expenses, kindly hold for a long term. But to those who really depend on trading profit for their monthly income, then yes try to go for small profit and place orders accordingly. And I would say to those who expect profit monthly, kindly do not borrow and invest in Bitcoin or on any other crypto currencies. Every month may not be the same month for crypto as its volatile.

Lessons are learned the hard way. There's a regretful feeling that those early folks who have held a bunch of bitcoin and altcoins that have good value today.
Well, that's unexpected and if you've made profit on it, there's nothing you can do with that anymore but just to look for another project that looks promising and believe on it and hold.

I know your feeling, ive make this stupid mistake when i buy a car this year at april with one eth, and i will never forgive my mistake with this move!

But you have a car, mate. You shouldn`t underestimate what cryptocurrencies have already given you. You didn’t lose your coins, you exchanged them for what you needed at that moment. Your feelings of regret are based on today's realities, which have changed since you made your decision. But at that time, your decision was justified and took into account the current circumstances. When you regret lost opportunities, it's easy to miss new ones. Therefore, while driving your car with pleasure, you can think about new investments.

We all agree that guilt always comes late and is undeniable. I can only say that if at that time you were not willing to hold your asset in the long term regardless of whether you needed the money or not then today you have nothing to regret. Take heed that long term holders are the real winners in this investment, but only for cryptocurrencies with potential like bitcoin and some of the best altcoin.

I'm just kidding, if the bitcoin price dump again to $5K (didn't hope that to happen) and most altcoin also experience it in 2022 or 2023, would you be willing to buy a lot and make a long term hold?

Based on my personal experience, because I don't know the price of the coin will go up or down and my limitations can't analyze due to my lack of knowledge about cryptocurrencies. I always look at analyses from youtube and buy coins that will go up in the future. although in reality, expectations do not match reality. The point is patience within ourselves, don't get carried away easily by lust. Because I believe hold is the best way.

I will say that is true, it is true because we have some things we need money to do, we buy, make profit, sell some and hold the rest. But this does not still change that truth that holding is the way to make profit, holding can be for more than a year or two. People that hold never lose. Yes it is good to have fun but any dormant money we are having can just be used to hold.

Its always appreciated to hold for certain years and target a profit. When the target is reached, its really awesome to take them off. Everyone has the aim of certain things. Since many depend on their investment return, we tend to close the trade at minimum profits and use them for the committed expenses. But its not the same with those who have enough to manage their monthly expenses. So holding duration depend on each.

For the reason that we don't know what will happen in the future and most likely we are not sure that it pumps 2, 3, or 5 years from now, selling at high is still not a bad decision, that was absolutely right. And in fact, we are still in a profit and that was good enough, unless if we sell them at loose ends.

We should never have to underestimate the volatility of the market. We often get wrong because of over speculated price and we mostly got bothered by our emotions that brought us to make bad decisions.

Hold, just hold if we can manage to do it. We also sell if that is needed and we know that we are in profit already. And lastly, we don't need to become greedy.

Yes, holding coins is difficult. It's hard to choose the right coin. It's hard to keep coins. Analysis is one of the best ways to choose, although sometimes our analysis can also be wrong. But at least it will minimize losses. My experience with holding old coins was due to the price drop, although there were some already profitable but it was my free money. So I'm more confident and don't think too much if one day my coin choice is wrong. 

Anything can happen but I hope it won't be up to $5K. Of course there will be considerations to buying some Altcoins. My experience buying some altcoins after ATH in 2018 they couldn't grow, dev seemed to go and not take care of their coins. What survives today is one old coin, ETH. Others are even missing and delisting from the market. So how long you hold the coin you have to know when you're finishing. You should pay attention to the long-term prospects of the coin you choose.

But $5k is to much for a huge dump and provably will not happen knowing many whales will buy back at any figures if they see a huge dip already occur. Also those scammy things like dev abandoning their project is normal already on this space that's why its not good to hold the new coins since we don't know yet if they can last for more long time. That's why its good to hold the old coins since those are the one who tested by many bear markets already and yet they are survived for so many of it.

Never trust a shit coin. Once you have a good ROI do sell and buy back with the initial capital so you don't lose out on everything. Once can only risk holding bitcoin because it has a purpose and also a good project plan. But for most altcoins holding for too long could be too risky its better to sell and buy back so if it crashes you wouldn't be losing anything

Trading requires special knowledge and takes a very long time, while holding coins does not take up your time. And if you don't have enough free time that you can spend at the terminal, then the best solution is still hold. As practice shows, adhering to such a strategy, you will not lose your deposit, unlike traders whose positions can be liquidated.

Few weeks ago I was just discussing with my brother which we started trading at the same time about coins which we sold before and the price which we sold them and there current price, actually I sold all of them at profit but I was just thinking if I didn't sell them then and am still having those coins in my wallet I believe I will have been very rich my now but seriously have learnt my lesson and any coin am buying now am not selling them am ready to hold them for years.

Hodling is a simple and effective money-making approach for people who are new to the market. However, it can also be risky if you fail to invest in the right coin. Being a volatile market, crypto rises and falls instantly, leaving everything at risk. Therefore, you need to be mentally and financially prepared for it.

Holding is the key to become a future millionaire most people has keep panicing when market suddenly crash or down. if you have patience so nobody  can stop you to become a millionaire. i realized when people panic so big whale at that they have filling our bages. just retailor sell their own crypto in looses . you have decided did you hold for long term and hold for short term? many smart investor are knew that we can successful for long term like 2 to 3 years after that they making good profit

No, it is not simple as that. If you do not have a strong hand to hold the coins or tokens, you will not be able to hold that instead will sell because of the trend. In the volatility of the market, you will see the price will go to any up and down price so that can make you worry and afraid and at that time, you will sell the coins or tokens because of that reason. So it needs many things before you can become a holder.

Hodling  is a nice investment  expecially in bitcoim , hodling only work in hands with patience.  Hodling is unique if you look back to previous years when bitcoin  price was low those who invested in bitcoin, who hodl for sometime till when bitcoin price hits at $47,$48-$50 have already make reasonable amount

Why is no one talking about tokens they sold early and the project never reached its all time high ever again? There are tons of projects like this in crypto space, only hold projects that will no doubt be useful for the masses for example smart contract projects like avalanche and Polkadot

It depends what kind of trader or investor you are some of us of course there's regrets in life like what if we invest our asset when the price is low and what if we didn't pull out our asset dring the down trend of the market again its the world of cryptocurrency it depends on your knowledge, trust and emotional aspect to win the market profit. If you are a short term trading I guess you need to wait for the right trend to sell or buy but if you are a long term trader it's ideal to buy and sell those coins once you think profit % is enough.

And then you could've bought BCC at 460+ bucks, and HODL them until your grandchildren grow spider webs, and it wouldn't make much of a difference, would it?
In ANY case, if you choose to HODL, it pays to keep an eye on your money. There's a gazillion examples of people becoming rich while HODLing, and there's another gazillion example of people losing everything.

Hold yes but set up a profit and close off the trade when its met. Its not advised to just blindly hold coins on long term when its in profits. Have few best coins chosen in hands. Once move out of a coin, move into other coin which is at the low rate and sell that off when the price increases. Holding is really advised but yes do not just hold when blindly hold. Just watch out its growth in the market and act accordingly.

Holding the coins that are owned is indeed a good thing, especially if we hold coins that have a good prospects. Rushing into action is not good but we cannot continue to regret what has happened. I don't think all coins are good to hold, there are some trash coins that even go down if you hold them so be careful not to choose bad coins because it will only give you losses. I suggest if you want to get the profit then hold on to a coin that is trusted and the prospects are also good, but I realize that choosing it is a difficult thing.

2021 was the year of shit coins, check the ROI generated by these coins in just a few months. I too agree that you can completely believe in them but if you are in for a short gain of a few months then invest in shit coins and also be prepared to lose what you have invested. Risk is pretty high in such coins therefore always DYOR.

This is the worth of holding. Some people with high patients will get the worth of holding with high profits. But of course, that is also not only holding but holding potential coins. we know that holding also requires high risks when we are wrongly holding shit coins and they become dead coins someday. However, for those who are holding potential coins with high fundamentals, active and strong teams, and also good use cases, holding will mean very worthy.
And many people have proven this.
However, some people may not be ready or patient for long-term holding. Cheer up for whatever we do and decide. Both you are holding or trading, as long as it can ern profits, why not?

Same here I also got YOUC 145k from bounty and sold like $350 and AR (Arweave) worth 3500 sold at $0.5 todays price $60/AR if IM not mistaken. I should have not sold this tokens if not needed but no regrets as it really helps during financial problems. The strategy of holding is still effective if you bought it before bull market comes. 

Its very important that one should buy solid coins for long term HODLing. If you buy shit coins then there is no point in HODLing them since they came to limelight during pumping and rest of there future is dumping. BTC and to 20 ALTs from CMC are good choice for long term HODLing, just spare 5 to 10% of your capital for new projects.

Holding is the way for good coins that are reliable not for coins that does not have future. Purchasing a coin to hold there must be that assurance that the coin has a future . Holding is the way for people who can exhibit patience and those who are strong emotionally,  this are the set of persons that can successfully hold a coin.

And that is why we have to choose the best one. Doing research is the only way to make things right and will choose to hold those coins that we trusted, not those shitcoins and fake projects. But I think we don't just end up holding forever, NO, it is sometimes we need to improve our portfolio through having some trade. If we wanted to make it more profitable, we rather have to choose to take more risk than usual holding we do. I know it was hard but, if we are motivated to do it, that can't be hard anymore...it is all about how we dream more of ourselves.

If you have decided to hold coins or tokens for long so that is best strategy because my personal experience if you have patience you take huge profit as long term. Because crypto is check your patience. . Other you have panic sell. You have check those coins which have included too much potential . And hodle for long term so definitely it will return as a big bonus

Holding was the name of the game when bitcoin was in the early days but i think short term holding is more profitable than holding for longer periods because you remove any missed opportunities of taking out your profits and also prevent keeping high expectations when markets are actually reaction in an opposite direction as was expected.

 As there are thousands of altcoins, not everyone can be able to foresee what the future holds for the altcoin the hodl in your portfolio. The crypto market is full of surprises that you can't be able to comprehend. To Hodl a coin never seems easy cos you will be hit by ideas to sell off your tokens when life challenges question your brokenness. Many have sold their tokens because of that.
The higher the price of a coin goes up, the more tempting it is for you to sell it off.

You have made a good fortune out of crypto.
