Having money on an exchange is higher risk than a cold wallet. So HODL has less risk.
MtGox, BTCe etc. Have shut down with a lot of losers.
If you call it inefficient and want to optimize profits that's greed (point 2). Better to HODL and make good profits.
Mining is the only anonymous way to get bitcoin and yes they initially mine at a profit and then at a loss.
It's an averaging strategy like buying the dip which is also buying during a downward market.
Also mining heats your house 😁
You do not understand what hodl is. It is holding coins and has nothing to do with the location of stored coins.
You also have no idea how mining works, and have simply posted this to change the subject from what I was saying earlier about how cash flow affects the price of bitcoin. You seem to have an agenda.
If you want to know cash flow and financial based information about bitcoin, please visit my site:
