holding a coin when the situation is like this it looks fine and if it is for a coin that is popular and has a good reputation from the past till now like bitcoin.
when someone buys the right coin at a high price and when the current price has fallen very deeply, maybe there is no need to panic and it would be better to buy again and collect more to cover losses in the upcoming bullish season.
maybe in my opinion holding bitcoins will be more relaxed and less panicked than altcoins that don't have a good track record from the past and will make some people panic holding them
If you are talking about bitcoin, then everything is correct, you just need to hold, but if we are talking about alts, then everything is not so simple and sometimes a hold can only lead to a loss of funds. You need to look at projects that are still working now, watch their announcements and results, but even this does not always work. You need to buy alternative cryptocurrencies only if you are confident in the project, but even in this case, you need to invest a small percentage of your funds so that in case of failure the loss does not become very critical.
talking about investing in altcoins is not as easy as we imagine, it's different from investing in bitcoin. that's right.
investing in alt coins while the bearish season is still going on has a very high risk and losing those funds is one of the risks.
but if investing in the right alt coins I don't think it will cause too much panic.
I will give an example of ETH (queen of bitcoin). i think ethereum is the king of alt coins always give good price in future and not too worried if invest there for long term.
anyway investing in a new project at this time seems to have a big risk
Additional risk if you will be going to invest with new project unlike with top caliber project who mostly follow bitcoin when the market starts to pump back.
You needed to work hard with your research since there are many factors that affects the market and without proper knowledge you
add risk with your investment.
Take time to continue doing your research and observe if how the market will move don't judge quickly as you may fall from those
whales who can create an artificial market movement.
