That's the most disadvantage of long term hodling, you still end up losing because you have to sell your coins at the wrong time not because you want to, but because the situation pushes it to happen. Whereas, if you also do buying and selling when there is good opportunity to do so, you will certainly earn from those, aside from the profits you expect from long term hodling. So i guess hodling is not enough, you have to do buying and selling in the market because its the best ways to grow your investment.

Hodling is good but depends on what are your particular goals or target in mind whether you do love to see profits in a decade time or more and also not all people would really be having the same level of patience on

waiting up for something because even on my part i cant really afford on waiting for several years just to harvest out the profits of my waiting which you could eventually able to do that with active or day trading.

Well, its more risky but something cant really be ignored when you arent that fan on waiting game since not all would really be having the same mindset when it comes to this.

hodl is a very important point in investment. I think, like trading, hodl is a matter of skill, perseverance and intelligence. hodl is not buying and holding any coins. hodl is a business of research, trust, planning and strategy. Even calculating how much time it will take is an important detail.

In this very volatile market hodling is the most effective way to maximize your profit in the right time. The ones who mastered this art of hodling will get the best reward they could get in the right time because this is how the market works. Investing is not just enough in this market someone should have a strategy to maximize their profit in the future this applies to traders too.

The market is very risky if you don't know what you are doing so it's better to have some knowledge first like hodling is one of the strategy you could use if in risk.

If you use crypto for investment only, hodling is what you need. But if you use crypto for trading, holding isn't the most skill you need but how the strategy in trading is. Anyway, hodling isn't something easy, it is only easy to mention. If you have a weak belief and have a lack of knowledge about crypto market and its fluctuations, I'm sure holding to be a hard thing. There are always many FUDs to bother weak holders. It is a big obstacle, especially when you see the market turn to be red and the prices of crypto drop massively, while many negative issues spread out. Weak holders will do panicking sell, only holders who have a strong belief and know it is already predictable to happen, will continue to keep their crypto coins. So, holding is a complex thing, not as simple as we assume.

Any asset which you beleive that the value will appreciate over time supposed to be held, if you sell then someone will get that chance. Until now bitcoin gave profits but this isn't same to every cryptocurrencies because 99% of cryptocurrencies goes down to zero in the few years so make sure you're holding the right coin before thinking about HODL for long term.

I put 50 BUSD on LUNA few days ago now i am regret it.

What have to do except holding only as good option right now after coins holding price drop almost 40%. Bigger losing if try cut loss now and holding as the best thing still hope can reach higher price one day later or really back to the top price. Not fully true witj cryptocurreny as holding only but we don't have option except hold right now and waiting when holding option removing after bitcoin break out.

I want to share links to the articles that helped me a lot to make some reasonable decisions.

Also, I hope these articles help somebody. Guys from EvBlock recommended using the HODL strategy at the beginning of the year.

It is all about hodling if you are an investor specifically long term investor because that is the main objective of the game but if you cant follow a simple rule which is to hodl then you are out. That game is not for you. You better do trading instead because in trading anyone is free to sell in anytime they like.

The only rule is trading is to avoid hodling your coins. This is why there's a stop loss feature in trading for traders to keep on going. Also hodling cryptos is considered everything only if you put all your money in it or if you sell all what you got (house, cars, etc.) but if not then there is more important things out there not only cryptos.
