holding alone wont give you a nice profit . you still need to sell your coins at some point or if ever you feel that you already reach your targeted price . bitcoin on the other hand is not only good for hodling or for long term but rather it is also good mainly for short term due to the fact that bitcoin do always pump unexpectedly . not unlike to alts that their value is increasing in a slow manner and you can easily tell whether they are going uppwards or not .
hodling is a nice strategy and we should have use it more oftenly if we are unsure about the status of the market .
