I know I know everyone throws that Hodl meme out everytime thing are going down, and will say I told you so when things begin to climb. What if I told you that holders just carry the bags of those who sold, and when things get cheap the sellers will pillage the holders. This is a recurring pattern in crypto, I know because I built my wealth in this manner and I would continue to do so if migraines didn't slow me down.
Unless you are specifically the end user, you really have no reason to hold after you have gained you 3-4x. Why would you? You don't actually have a use for 95% of the tokens available anyways. We have been conditioned to believe that holding is the only way for crypto to gain value but it not, actual real-world use cases are.
Just wanted to vent a little as I am starting to really get irritated with the "hodl" movement
I don’t think it’s wrong to hold the coins you really believe in. But , as you said , you need to know the risk that your coins could be worthless if there is no need for it.

Thanks for this true confession @crypto2crypto! Too much HODL propaganda being fed to the bottom-feeders.
I won't be too hard on myself, as I'm still a novice; but, worse thing I did this year is stop a 'lucrative' power down that was yielding a 'healthy' little ROI. The worse part is I went went against my Inner Wisdom/Peace, by foolishly listening to a HODL perp...smh!...(lol)...I won't name names; but, it's not who most would think it is...lol...
Peace.

Hey no shame in my game. I'm in it to win it, but at the same time, I don't mind an even playing field. If all newcomers join thinking the whale becames by strictly holdingm then they will be hurt very quickly.

Yes, hard lesson learned; but, out-of-pocket investing isn't for those who are on a budget...and should be compared to buying a lotto ticket...The crypto odds might be a bit better; BUT, definitely shouldn't come out of your primary budget for 'getting rich'.
Best regards.
Peace.

Crypto gives you the chance like a dead clock hitting the right time twice in 24 hours. In order to hit the clock right time you have to hold and then sold :D

Hard to know exactly when to sell. But if you make $1,000 profit it’s a good time to sell, take some profits and buy back again on the dips.
