First of all do you know what HODL means?
HODL is used when referring to hold the cryptocurrency rather than selling it.
Holding cryptocurrency is no good because it means you don’t have a knowledge about trading, for me, you can do scalping trading and increase your holding by it and gain profit.
I suggest that all in the Crypto community must learn the basic trading fundamentals. There are free tutorials anywhere. Don’t be lazy, think big.
Trading is buy and sell strategy buy low sell high but traders sometime have to decide their coins to hold for ling term because didn't accept for theirselve the loses, that's i seen some traders hodl their coins for long term because they hope later on they cut off the loses if the price bounce again.
