Holding does not mean you do not use bitcoin and if you really need it, just do it but use it according to your needs because of the existence of bitcoin to improve your life and solve solutions in your finances and economy.
This is exactly what happened to me. I mean, I always tell myself to just keep on holding unless otherwise necessary. And that's what I told my girlfriend as well.
But there are some things that we cannot really control like unexpected but necessary expenses. Recently, I was caught up between the thought of bitcoin halving or paying for my licensure exam. It was quite a hard decision for me. But, my girlfriend, who happens to have spare savings on her bitcoin wallet didn't have any second thoughts on lending me her money. It made me a bit sad that she have to spend her btc now that bitcoin halving is near. But I wouldn't let her deed go to waste.
I'm doing my best to pass the board exam and work for my sig campaign at the same time so I can repay my girlfriend.
Hopefully, I can repay what she lent me before the halving.
