HODL isn't a proper investing strategy. Actually its a literal joke that came from a typo.
I can't imagine developing my entire strategy based around one typo
If you use actual strategy. Then it is quite obvious that now is not the time to "HODL" or "HOLD". But it is the time to sell. Beat the mass sell off. Its smart to get out before its too late.
I believe it has worked just fine for a lot of people, thank you.
