You tend to say hold BTC - and yes over the time frame of 12 years that has worked well. But the assumption that a brief 12 year history in a rapidly developing new field like cryptos is a solid base to predict the next decade makes no sense at all.
As likely as not there will be massive changes that will make that history all but irrelevant.
BTC is a strongly fluctuating asset and missing the massive up and down trends makes no sense to me at all - it's not hard to swap in and out of it.
On Leo people are getting excited about "what can I buy with 10 Leo posts" but ignoring the fact that this year a good trade call on one Bitcoin can be worth US$10,000 (or 20,000 Leo) in a week.
These trades are worth serious money but the HODL mantra ignores that and assumes everyone has so little BTC that a 20% drop is no big deal.
