This is NOT entirely true. Truth is, you must chose the coins or tokens you decide to hold carefully and you must also stay your objectives right. If your intentions are to feed off crumbs then you can always do short term trades but if you want to feed fat then you must learn patience and holding rightly. You can only hit the big bucks in this atmosphere by holding and waiting for the right moment. You should always consider holding as a long term project and wait for your moment of glory.
I agree with what you write. especially those who hodl up to the beginning of 2018 have achieved a very good gain. It should not be forgotten that the current market conditions make people weary.
