There is no specific answer about this question because we know in the world of cryptos everything can be happen at anytime. What I mean is, in terms of hodling we can definitely faces a lot of problems if we only think hodling it for only a short period of time. But, in case of long-term investment, it can really be a guaranteed that we can get good amount of profit. So, it really depends only to the hodlers what she/he want to choose.
You hold it until you can get a profit, you will not loose your money if you just hold your coin in a lower price. A few years back, the bitcoin price is only about $200 but in line of bitcoin adoption the price is now increase, we just need to wait.
