Is holding really the way ?

Hi friends and crypto family.

Relatively new to the market , but I’ve come to the conclusion that DCA and holding really isn’t the best choice.

Most of the top 10 from 2017 is no longer in the top 10, so what are those people doing with their holding strategy?

Second thought to consider, when the market dips all of us say BUY BUY. But in that same light when the market is all green and people are buying shouldn’t the smart money be selling? In fact that is usually what happens it runs up and people take profits , but we call those people paper handed.

My final thought Profit taking should be a strategy that is more discussed on this sub instead of just holding.
