Is it true that its wrong to hold coins for many years and never look back? Someone said coins can die in just two years, they can also lose demand and hype under a year, so how do one hold with zero worries?.
You can see there are thousands of coins listed on
coinmarketcap so what specific coin you plan to hold on for years needs to be clarified before giving any suggestions to you.
But there is simple mechanism of holding bitcoin and altcoins as there are two categories only so if you are into first category then surely you could hold btc for years without having fear and become dormant for years in order to gain higher profits.You must have heard about people gaining good amount of profits within 2-3 years of patience holding.You can check the history charts and will find out if you have invested few years back then you would be having good amounts.
For example if you take into consideration investing in bitcoin back in 2017-2018 period when it was around $19600 and at today's level we are at $45k down from $68k ATH but still you would be in profit.So you see the clear and broader picture of long term bitcoin holding.
But if you're planning to have your bag filled with some altcoins as most of them are shitcoins then the suggestions on my personal experience are leave them or don't go long term on them as it won't be beneficial at all.You can get idea from the picture that top-10 coins on CMC has been shifting but btc always remain the king with high volatility also.Most of them are pumped and then dumped by whales because they have no real utility so what's the purpose of holding coins like doge or Shiba? Musk will take them to the moon is old rumours and not going to happen so don't trust these coins at all.
You shouldn't even bag hold altcoins for 2 hours let alone 2 years. They all dump sooner or later because of a wide range of reasons but mainly uselessness. E
The people invest in them under some influence while seeing them rise for some time without going in detail that these coins have no utility so what's going to derive their value in future but later on most of the people loose funds and only the whales and shitcoin masters make the actual profits.Have seen people making lame excuses that btc is expensive and they can't invest in it as if stacking sats is not at all possible.We can give them advice rest all is dependent on their personal viewpoint and how deeply they understand bitcoin.
