Newbies can easily be influenced from what they hear from speculations.. I've read several times people tend to advice to hold long term. because its easy for them to say JUST HOLD cause theyre not the one losing! For me its not all about holding, its being smart about your own invesment know when to stop and cut the losses.
Not going to generalize but most newbies are fond of being manipulated by other posts around the forum, and what happens here is that most higher ranked members tend to tell these newbies about what could happen if they don't sell this or that and a lot more of posts that will make a newbie panic, now I'm not saying this only occurs on newbies since even higher members tend to be fooled especially about the price speculations, everyone has different opinions but in the end it's all in the graph to see which is good right now and which coin should you avoid, and this is the same as to HODLING, it's all in yourselves to decide when to stop, don't listen to the what ifs of other people with their opinionated statements.
