Yes, that's more or less how I learned too.
Every single crypto that I've ever sold, it turned out later that I should've hodled. Sold LTC at $30. Got a bunch of free Stellar Lumens that I dumped because I thought it was a crapcoin. Hell, even my Dogecoin, if I simply held on to it from back in the day would be worth a pretty penny today...

But oh well, this is the way true hodlers are forged! :)
Now I can endure any dip. 2 year bear market? Been there - bring it on! I'll buy more!
