The strongest HODLers out there are only strong because of their belief

No matter if you're investing in BTC, ETH, or a small cap Altcoin, you need to believe in the coin and its tech.

I have been in Crypto for a very long time, and i have seen people HODL what would be perceived as a large amount of Crypto back when it was cheaper, and a lot of them are only believers when the price is going up.

With all markets, it will go up, and down. This shouldn't change your view on it, if you're investing in ANYTHING, you MUST truly believe in what you're investing in, and only then will you have diamond hands.

A lot of people sell every year when Crypto crashes, and then hate themselves for selling when it comes back up. I'm not talking about day traders, they might sell to buy back lower for a larger amount in the long run, but they still believe in it. They're doing this to get a larger amount in the long run.

Whatever you're investing in, make sure you believe in it, and stick to those beliefs.

Edit: I would like to add that if the coin you believed in is either not fulfilling their promises, or something changed in the project or team and you don't agree in it, and it changes your belief in the coin, then by all means sell it. But if you still believe in the coin your investing in and you believe it is FUD, then hold tight. This market is rapidly changing, so listen to your intuition.
