Please take a moment to get my point before you conclude. I know a lot of people judge a post by the topic alone and if that is applied to mine, I might be sounding anti-bitcoin since selling is highly demonized by a lot of people in this community.

Now the question is, assuming everyone who ever bough bitcoin is holding their bitcoin in their private wallets, what will be the fate of bitcoin and the bitcoin network? Does holding bitcoin strengthen the bitcoin network? If no, are those who sell and more their bitcoin on-chain generally doing bitcoin bad?

I believe in holding bitcoin and I'm actually holding some quantity and still buying. But a greater part of me feels that there should be more to bitcoin that just buying and holding in private wallet to gain some profits. I believe that bitcoin will be much more beautiful if a good number of human populations are using bitcoin for their daily lives and have real testimony that bitcoin actually made their lives better. We cannot achieve that if we only encourage people to buy and hold, can we?

I don't know if I have sounded so pessimistic towards bitcoin. From the depth of my heart, I want bitcoin to gain more utility than it has, the reason I made this post to seek opinion if there are people actually thinking in this direction or the right way of thinking about bitcoin is only HODL.

To be honest, we are out of the goal that Bitcoin was created for. Now it's become an asset to hold instead of cross-border transactions without a third party. As per your title, it's good holding Bitcoin. Because holding Bitcoin means less coin circulation on the chain, so it does strengthen the Bitcoin ecosystem directly. Selling Bitcoin means circulation is increasing, and more sales mean dumping Bitcoin. So holding Bitcoin gives more power to the whole Bitcoin ecosystem.

Holding is definitely better, but hold for life; don't hold it for a lifetime. Our Bitcoin holding should be used in our real life. So we must have a goal to sell it and take out our profits. If we can't use our Bitcoin when we are alive, then it's useless after death. I am currently holding a small amount of Bitcoin, but wherever I feel the need to sell, I will sell. Of course I will wait for the dump and accumulate again.

A lot of people hold BTC for many years some of them, whom i personally know, even received a good amount for free, while others rushed and sold at the wrong time. Realistically, you never really know how the market will behave, but one thing is certain , you have to be patient when it comes to BTC. The same goes for investors most of them lack patience and end up selling at the wrong time.

Everyone wants to profit from Bitcoin but can everyone profit? In reality, many people invest in Bitcoin but they cannot hold Bitcoin for the right time due to which many lose their assets. Bitcoin is a long-term investment project with a high probability of losing in the short term. Although there are some who have a good understanding of Bitcoin and some of them make profit, there are others who do not understand and lose their wealth. I have seen many investors who could not hold Bitcoin for the long term. It can be said for sure that those who are able to hold Bitcoin for the long term with patience will definitely be profited by investing in Bitcoin.

We are not out of the general goal that bitcoin was created, you can send bitcoin to anyone at any time at any place if you have data connection but people prefer to save their coins on their wallet because the price of bitcoin is increasing with the chart that I saw but people are making bitcoin transaction daily which is the payment.
