I do agree with you. And whilst I think that this is best partnered with the newer coins to have maximum benefit when holding them for a long period of time, I also think that if you look at the coins that are thriving in the market now, that a buy and hold strategy may still be a viable and good option if you have the patience to wait for a few years. Chances are that your investment will increase drastically. It is just a matter of time in my opinion.The state of Ethereum and Bitcoin earlier have made some people believe more in long time investment than short time investment. One that has endurance to endure for the foreseeable future got the strong hold to reap higher reward tan the one that couldn't wait.
