Yep, good points made by both of you, there's a buy and hold culture with stock amongst millions of stock holders, why not a buy and hold culture with currency? How many millions of folk do nothing re their savings, just leaving them in the bank to earn less than 1% interest whilst inflation erodes their egg by 5%, when alternatively they could attempt to position trade (buy and hold) currencies?
Buy and hold currencies isn't the same. I think a lot do it with exotic pairs though.
