Everyone can attribute a primary characteristic to it or view its utility through their own economic and social lensthere is no single perspective on its usefulness, as that depends on the individual; one certainly cannot rule out the "HODL" strategy. However, given the inherent strengths Bitcoin represents, holding it is never a simple matter; therefore, I disagree with your notion of simplicity in this regard.
HODL or Hold has its magic power for people who can maintain this practice with very great ROIs over years of hodling or holding. I consider there is no big difference in practice between holding and hodling but possibly with Bitcoin community, they would like to say HODLing rather than holding.
Holding bitcoin for about 5 years is like very profit guaranteed but if you can hold your bitcoin through 2 cycles or more, profit will be greater.

It is a currency, that and being special from others in terms of decentralization and being censorship resistant the majot use case of bitcoin. The people who are using bitcoin dont have to think about intermediary people while sending and be assured that the money will reach the recipient once sent.
This is the biggest use of bitcoin. It does not need any further use case to solidify its position over the other existing modes of transacting.
With Bitcoin blockchain, you can use a non custodial wallet with full control through private keys, and broadcast your Bitcoin transactions, wait for confirmation from Bitcoin miners, without fear of fund freeze by governments during confirmation pending time. No reverse, no charge back like banks or companies can do like Paypal.
