**Why Do We Need to Hold Crypto (HODL)?**

The term **"HODL"** (Hold On for Dear Life) is popular in the crypto world as a long-term strategy for holding digital assets despite market fluctuations. Here are the reasons why holding crypto can be beneficial:

### **1. Potential Long-Term Price Increase**

- Cryptos like **Bitcoin (BTC)** and **Ethereum (ETH)** have a history of significant price increases over the last 5-10 years.

- Many crypto projects are still in their early stages, and their value can skyrocket if adopted widely.

### **2. Protection Against Inflation**

- Some cryptos (like Bitcoin) have a **limited supply**, making them similar to "digital gold" that is resistant to inflation.

- Fiat currencies (like Rupiah/Dollar) can lose value due to excessive money printing, whereas Bitcoin only has **21 million coins**.

### **3. Participation in the Blockchain Ecosystem**

- By holding certain tokens, you can earn **staking rewards**, airdrops, or voting rights in DeFi/NFT projects.

- Example: Holding **ETH** allows you to participate in staking and earn rewards.

### **4. Avoiding Emotional Trading**

- The crypto market is highly volatile, and many novice traders incur losses due to **panic selling** or **FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)**.

- Holding reduces the risk of impulsive decisions and allows time for assets to grow.

### **5. Preparation for Bull Run Cycles**

- Cryptos tend to experience **price cycles (market cycles)** every 4 years (related to Bitcoin Halving).

- By holding during bear markets, you can reap significant profits during the next bull run.

### **Risks of Holding Crypto:**

- **Projects can fail** (only cryptos with strong fundamentals survive).

- **Government regulations** can affect prices.

- **Scams/rug pulls** if holding untrustworthy assets.
