Buy and hold is a good strategy if you never need to touch the money. However, life happens and I got divorced, so I had to hold on to my profits or be left with nothing. It's yet to be determined if a buy and hold strategy is a good one for crypto. I am aware of the price rise since 2012 but as the old adage goes "trees don't grow to the sky." Trees built on wild expectations and promises of glory, like were made before the dotcom crash (the internet has rewritten the rules of the economy!) seem to me to be more likely to topple over than keep growing taller.
