Yeah. Hodling is not a new word and especially here on the forum, users are advised to hodl and it will prove rewarding ( for those who plan to sell) when the next bull run season approaches. A necessary advice given by the Op which I think is quite important because there are still those who fall victims of hodling their Bitcoin on CEX which might be cool but not until the exchange gets closed down without prior information (exit scam) or even be victim to hacker attack.
To ensure you don't fall victim of stolen coins or missing funds, it's best to store your crypto in self custodial wallets, that way you are the only one with access to your funds and while it has its perks, it can be risky if you misplace your private keys you might as well be kissing your funds buh bye!
Many of us are enthusiastic about holding Bitcoin for the long term because Bitcoin can give an investor multiple returns over the long term. But if we don't have a good idea about where to hold the bitcoins then after a long period of time we may loss our all holdings . Many of us try to hold bitcoin in various exchange platforms which must be abandoned. Because at any time an exchange platform can be hacked. I saw last few days ago that an exchange called Poloniex admitted to being hacked. They have been suspending their users' withdrawal money for quite some time now. If an investor loses his money after putting in a lot of effort then this investment platform can definitely turn out to be a curse for him. So before investing you must give utmost importance to the wallet and its security.
Truth be told, many new investors are just hyped by the thing "hodl" or hold, and there's nothing about that. You could just hold and store your assets in a secure wallet and let them grow long-term, but the thing is, you can't just buy and buy bitcoin or a fraction of bitcoin anytime you want; you need to know which time and moment it is good to buy bitcoin assets, so it still needs even basic knowledge about charting and analysis of the bitcoin market. I've known a few friends who decided to invest in bitcoin out of curiosity and immediately bought some of it, but the thing is, they don't analyse the market or the movement of bitcoin before purchasing, and in the end, they can't sell their bitcoin because the price goes down, resulting in locked assets as they will wait for the moment that their asset will turn green again.
Im sure this is where the word DYOR comes in, you shouldnt buy at anytime you wish or just by people telling you to buy, you should be research base and buy when its okay to buy. Since its spot, you can equally do spot copy trading on exchanges with the feature just like Bitget.
Hears out that you are just basically shilling out Bitget. We do have several or turns out to be that a very common feature on having those copy trading feature not only in Bitget. If you arent really that shilling then its really still a good consideration on dealing with such platform but if i were to those people who do have plans then better to stick into those known exchange. Its true that on the time that you would really be
dealing up with something then it is really just that right that you should really be doing in depth research on things and dont make yourself that be hasty when it comes on making up decisions.
Information could really be able to get in the internet but be careful that you should really be choosing on which is viable and non shady.
As for holding Bitcoin then nothing beats out if you do really make use of those non-custodial things considering that you are really that getting a hold or full control of those keys
on which you cant really be able to do such thing when you are really that dealing up with centralized platforms or things which arent that giving you
the access of your coins into your own wallet, you could really be able to tell the difference.
