HODLing is a strategy par excellence which matters if you want to make a profit from Bitcoin.
You just have to keep your Bitcoins safe and hope for price rises. It's all you have to consider when HODLing, and it's what makes such a strategy so popular. You don't have to worry about it, as long as you have sent your Bitcoins to an address for HODLing. You don't even have to reallocate your portfolio, Bitcoin HODLing is timeless par excellence.
There are other ways people can profit from bitcoin, but Holding is the best way to approach bitcoin. I hear people say holding is just a waste of time, that someone need to hold bitcoin for years before he or she can profit from it, why not trade it instead and make quick money.
Holding bitcoin is a Joice, not a force. Believe me when i say that nobody cares about what you do with your bitcoin, therefore if you want to trade your bitcoin go ahead and trade it nobody is stopping you. As for me, holding gives me peace of mind, i feel more relax when I'm holding bitcoin than doing something with it outside holding.
As someone who is investing in bitcoin for long term, i don't panic whenever the market turns red, instead of panicking i buy those dips aggressively and hold because i know market will turn back green and price correction it's just the matter of time. But a trader or someone investing in bitcoin for short term won't stay calm like i do when the market turns red, is either they are panic selling in lost, or they will be restless until the market turns green and bitcoin start recovering.
