Most professional trader just believe holding your coins is a sign of failure.
Anyone who thinks this way is merely assuming. And that isn't right. It's fallacious because assumption is the highest level of not knowing. I see Hodling like keeping one's account in a bank in a fixed deposit. Is that a sign of failure too? I don't think so.
I made profit from hodling and so are the thousands of those who made a lot from hodling their coins, in fact this is most safer than trading because here is a risk in trading, in hodling you just research for the coin with good potential in the market and have the patient not to trade until you made a profit, let the developer make a move to create the platform and complete the roadmap, and let things takes its course.
Holding gives profit and risk free, because we just hold on a trusted wallet and profit when the market pumps high. Finding the right cryptocurrency is really a hard task, and even with holding there is certain difficulty. When you're in need you cannot cash it out, because by that time the market might be low. When you're holding, it is good to keep it secure without any deadline.
