For me i ithink people holding their bitcoin for a long time because theyre waiting or they are predict that the value of bitcoin or any coins are going rise . so they will not regret someday.
Yeah you are right that there is a lot of people holding their bitcoin for the future and they are sure that bitcoin will increase its price in coming future and they are believe that bitcoin will be profitable for us in the future so i prefer that hold your bitcoin is much more better for us.
