If you have faith in a coin that you are holding with SOLID projects and potential for growth to solve real life issues, you should hold those coins for the long haul. In other words, you believe Litecoin will be mass adoptive by mainstream and being used in the future for real life transactions in 2-3 years, then you know as long as you HODL, when a coin reaches a specific goal price, that's when you can choose to take most of your profits in one go! Sure you do not profit at all in the short term but one should buy more on the dips and sell them when the prices spiking and you think it may be reaching its peak before a correction happens. (IN other words, don't have to HODL 100% of your coins if you want to take in profits and buy back in when it dips low enough.) Hope this helps! :) Upvoted! Great post!
