If we could hold Bitcoin the same way we hold gold, all of us holders would be benefited. Being a holder is easier to say but more difficult to be a good holder. A true holder knows how much adversity to hold on. The OP here deserves credit if he can hold bitcoins according to his speech he's going to get big reward in the future.
If it's just saying and giving directions to other people it's very easy, theory is easy for us to understand but if we have gone into direct practice it will be a very big test for us, almost everyone says investing in bitcoin in the long term will give us profits which is very big for us, but people who already hold bitcoins are very difficult to maintain the bitcoins they have, because we are unable to resist the temptation that comes and we also cannot control the bitcoins that we hold because of the many negative posts from the media and from people who anti bitcoin, so if there are people who have gained wealth from bitcoin because they are able to hold bitcoin for a long time, we should give them appreciation.
Theory is not that easy neither, because lack of studying how to become a better investor or trader is something people rarely do. So that means they are not ready to practice and lack of experience is not the only problem.
People should study for months before they spend a single dollar in crypto world, and learn how to be great at what they want to do, and when they feel like they know it all, then lack of experience will become the issue and with more experience and studying they will do wonders. However, people just join right away without studying at all, and that is a key aspect of these things, they should be focusing a lot better on how they should get ready.
