I was hold some good coin since september last year untill now but the result is very bad, i loss more than 80% . And from this case i will never to be hodler again, i think will be more profitable to do swing trading or day trading. Holder can be make profit in more than 3 years and i can not wait for that long.
You have to make sure before holding, that the coins you save are really potential and have a high price in the future, don't let you buy and hold altcoin that is not trusted and has no potential. then if you intend to hold, don't get eaten by gossip and fud, because that will only hurt you..
That is just the thing, and you should also know where you really want to be buying from, but in most cases, holders usually do not care, since what they are after is the long term growth anyway. The OP simply did not put into place the idea that if you are not a trader or one that is experience to go the long term trend fluctuation opportunity and could spot it easily, it would be hard to even know what to do.
I have seen people because of statement like his that holding is bad, then ending up making some decisions out of ignorance and regretting it in the end. If you know you do not have any plan than to just hold on for the future, which is actually a plan as well, irrespective of all the short term noises, then, you are still game as far as I am concerned.
