Bitcoin Forum

I would assume that all of us here are 100% sure that Bitcoin is rising in value and the recent correction many days ago is just a temporary setback and in fact Bitcoin is now again rising in price albeit a more timid way.

With this scenario in mind, majority of Bitcoin holders are not spending their Bitcoin but holding them just like a precious gold somewhere in the cyberspace.  The mantra seems to be HOLD HOLD HODL HODL and I am seeing it everywhere in Facebook, forums, group chats and even in cafeterias worldwide.

Together with the increasing demand coming from Japan, et. al., this in turn is helping  push the Bitcoin upwards and once the scaling problem can be solved by August we are expecting that Bitcoin can jumping with joy and a resurgence like we have never seen before.

Just hold them and never be tempted to sell or you would later on regret as if 50% of you died digitally.

Seems to me like you're a bit more interested in selling it for "Footballcoin"...

---

Not really subjective, is it?

"Bitcoin is rising in value"
"Nah m8, it just fell to $800 clearly can't you read?"  ;D

The correction wasn't actually a setback anyway, it was a good thing because it makes a price of >$2000 look somewhat sane now.

Majority is really holding for the big increase no doubt about it but as of now the price is $2490 dollar and right now no further movement has been seen a couple of days from now so I think there is a hesitation for some if they can really hold on to bit that is why we have seen back on the month of MAY that bitcoin have drop it's price to $1900 because of so many fearful people that sell their bitcoins, and sure holding was the idea from the start if you really want to profit big and just be patient to the movement of bitcoin. 

I am splitting my bitcoin holdings one part for needs and other part is future investment . For me I can use half of my current holding when the actual  need for money and other half I will keep for future so that I don't regret in oth cases if price goes up and down I will be satisfied

Until my rigs have broken even I convert 75% to fiat and hold the other 25% then once they are in profit I'll probably hold more like 75 and convert out 25 I think

I think this will be increasingly bitcoin up again towards $5000 2 years later. with so many projects are popping up now and competing technologies developed per project and in the presence of added issues virus Ransomware that indirectly promote bitcoin to different countries .

bitcoin has become a gleaming gold
don't panic and always be patient, 3 years into the future will be a lot of people who own luxury homes by storing their bitcoin

holding bitcoin is very difficult it is based on my experience when bitcoin is at peak before dump. I think by continuing to hold bitcoin would be more profitable and after the dump on bitcoin I feel bad. I hold bitcoin when the price is stable and sell it if there is a fast pump and I just invest bitcoin into ico.

I'm basically hedging my bets by selling a large portion of my coins for fiat and other investments whilst still holding a portion of my bitcoin position so that when another pump happens or comes by I'm not caught off guard without any coin that I can dump quickly.

I believe that diversification is the key to investment success. If you don't diversify then you are going to be prone to wild markets, etc. Simply saying hold hold hold isnt wise. Bitcoin isnt guaranteed to go up. It always seems like it's going up when it's a bull market, and always seems to be going down in a bear market. This is trading.

I don't even have a single coin to my name! Sucks getting late to the party that I can't afford to buy much. Still, I'm quite prudent with it. I have some in store that I swore never to spend, which would be the savings. I have some in an exchange to make money as well. I'm not sure about selling some now though. I've seen people write that they cash out 20% of their bitcoin regularly and keep it in hand for buying should the price drop.

Holding on coins is always good option. Its specially good when its about crypto coins but in this case its alpha of coins i.e. bitcoins.

Agree, holding is great option to make a profit in bitcoin, that is why i have a 80% of my bitcoin always kept in my wallet as my investment and the 10% is i always invested in trading for other coin and 10% is for my unwanted expenses.

Holding is actually a good form of investment. I am currently holding 75% of my coins and using the rest to trade/buy/sell alts. Bitcoin does have a potential but we never know whats going to happen in the future.

I only hold my 50% of my bitcoin in my wallet and the 50% was invested in trading and other things that i would be happy and entertained.
I keep to hold bitcoin because i know that i could get high profit if i have bitcoin in the future.

just HODLing is never good. i am not just in bitcoin for getting some more fiat! of course when i buy bitcoin i am obviously getting a lot of profit but i prefer taking my profit out even if it means taking $50 out of the profit each month :)
and taking it out for me, means spending it. i try to find the things that i normally buy and this time try to buy it directly with bitcoin. that way i am cutting the fees in the middle for converting bitcoin to fiat and then spending fiat, and also helping the bitcoin economy move forward.

I only hold less than 1 bitcoin. I am trying to collect other cryptos as many as I can because they have the bright future than Bitcoin. They will soon x10 and go to the moon

Until now holding always gave guaranteed returns, and big ones. Why would be different now?

Prior to that increase demand and the event that will happen in August, bitcoin users are really into holding their bitcoin since then. I entered bitcoin world when the bitcoin price was around $200 and that day, I have already seen many users saying JUST HODL BITCOIN. And the result is clear if we look into now. If applied today, it's 100% reasonable to just HODL bitcoin since we can speculate what will be the future of this currency. Positive speculation to the extent that we didn't expect it will happened.

And now that we are expecting more surprises to come that can boost more the bitcoin price, no other thing to do but to acquire more bitcoins and do the hodling system.

I don't hold much because currenty I'm in the situation that I need funds and have to spend the coins. But as soon as this situation finish I will try to save some larger amount. But I don't think that Bitcoins should only be held, it's good that they circulate and that they are used for different purposes. That helps the addoption and implementation of Bitcoin in real world.

Until now I still hold my bitcoin, because I think now is the right time to make, supplying supplying and entering, we may sell our bitcoin just for our purposes only the rest saved for future savings

Yes, I'll be holding my bitcoin for the foreseeable future,  unless something drastic happens, I don't see or feel the need to sell. I have all my eggs in the bitcoin basket. It is either win or lose for me, it feels like a gamble though.

I hold some coin for future purpose, since i got another job so bitcoin and mining will be my side job

I plan to hold my bitcoin once I have earned some.  The spent the last bitcoin I had since I need money for some minor house repair.  But now that , I planned to hold it and not to spend it for another 5 years.  I have a feeling that holding bitcoin will give me huge profit.

Yes I am holding some little amount of Bitcoin on my wallet, since the price is increasing highly and it is expected it will rise even more in the future, so holding the BTC nowadays could be profitable.

Indeed.  I will hold my bitcoins until I am satisfied with its price and spent some of it.  I only have a part of a bitcoin but even if it is only small, I am making ways to increase my possession like earning more of them.  We should make most of it until the demand of it is so high.  I regret that I used my bitcoin before just to load my cellphone.  I would never ever do that again.  I am holding all of it from now on.

I am holding Bitcoin for a while as well since the price of it is pretty good and Bitcoin might be useful for purchasing something later on in the near future that only accepts Bitcoin as the payment option.

If I wanted to build the portfolio that I have then I would begin to trade a bunch of Altcoins and see if the amount of Bitcoin in my account grow higher than the deposited amount. Having Bitcoin inside of a wallet feels pretty good too.

You should know that there is no guaranty that bitcoin prices always go high and high. Based on history if prices go down then it may take a couple of years to recover the prices but this time it may not happen so long due to high demand and more and more people are using bitcoins. Hence now and then if you can book some profit and not all, you may get a chance to buy at lower price.

Since i am investing my time in trading i am investing it in good ICO as well as in good coins which i seem profitable ,there is no doubt in my mind that the price of bitcoin will keep on rising and my hopes are that the price of alt coin too will rise along with bitcoin ,either way i will convert all my investments into bitcoin after getting my profit,that is how i do business and i am in a good position because of that.

It is true that as long as there is new promising initial coin offers keeps coming out i am going to make a good investment if i am able to invest in the initial stages of the project because the wonderful bonus they will be offering and i find it interesting if the project is cool and the ultimatum would be for everyone to convert them to bitcoin ,because the future lies in bitcoin for now.

I think by continuing to hold Bitcoin would be more profitable, let alone now so many project are popping and make the ride price Bitcoin...Although just some coin will give profit in the future.

Of course, I hold some coins for the future. because i know that, bitcoin price will increase more in the future. So investing in bitcoin is one of the best investment now when we talk about money. Usually, i save 70% of my weekly income in my wallet.

I'm sure as hell holding them right now, there's no way that I am going to try and play the market. It's way better to just have what I have and wait for the market to keep going up than try to beat everyone on small microtrends.
Probably never going to feel the digital death portion of it all though, luckily enough.

I do too. Bitcoin price is slowly regaining it's price back to $2200 maybe it can still go back at $2500 and break the $3000 wall. But I don't just save, I also invest in some ICOs and some projects, I do too faucets even if it is a small earnings, it is a time killer.

Just requires every country to free the public to hold and buy bitcoin as a means of payment transaction or long-term investment, I think it will go to 1 million dollars

I am expecting more rally in the price of bitcoin and since more countries will be legalizing bitcoin we might see more investment in bitcoin which could see more growth in the price,i am happy to hold my coins till i get a good return but before that i need to increase my bank roll and it has being a struggle for a long time,in an ideal situation i would hold the coins for a long time.

honestly i am not happy of the price increase because i only have small amount of bitcoin and hoping that more price decrease instead i think below $1,700 because its more easy to buy than the present price that actually is really high price..
Well for other people they are happy that they are seeing he price increase because they are holding lots of bitcoin.. but for us who the same as mine that holding small amount expecting for the price low or to have a bitcoin in easy ways..

Bitcoin has been crazy for past few weeks. I'm pretty sure that each and every bitcoin'er is currently keeping as much as possible and only withdrawing the urgent-needed amount.

Who knows, a single bitcoin might be of $10,000 worth tomorrow, no one should actually miss the chance. ;D

I am going to hoard and hold as much BTC/ETH/LTC as I can.

Im still holding of my bitcoin as of now. Even these past days no movement since still I will hold mine. But not all, I just save some for future investment.

Well it's not really that you would buy 1 btc but you can buy bits of it until you could reach for 1 btc. Because most people here really cant afford buying 1 btc so they would settle for altcoins. And its not always buying all btc because some are earning directly a btc then that is what they are using to invest. Also im one of those guys who is hoping that the price of btc would increase more.

As of now I'm doing a lot of work just to store more BTC before the price hit 10k$. Cash out when desperately in need of money but my priority is to hold. I can't just waste any more BTC and I'm always careful on wallets and transactions. I'm holding BTC till it reach 1 million$. BTC is for online investments and my expenses in the real world is being sustained by my work on the real world.

I always keep some of my bitcoins for me to collect. For the future of bitcoin that may increase in price as more and more demand.Besides bitcoin i also store eth waves etc.

Depending on the situation, there are many factors that can affect bitcoin, if there are signs of bitcoin will weaken then I will sell, if many factors that support bitcoin then I will hold, quite easy instead. But I will not sell or hold all, only part of it, some bitcoin that I think is enough to sell

Yes I am holding on to my bitcoin because I believe that bitcoin price will go higher even though I know that it's not going to be on top everyday, but I guess that's how market goes. I also put 20% of my bitcoin in trading because I also believe in altcoins especially those who have a good project.

Mostly will do the same thing for bitcoin due to limited options where to spend bitcoin, transaction problem or high fees.
So, people tend to hold it because the value increase as well as time goes on, year after year.
But, bitcoiners really need to solve transaction problems to make it grow bigger enough to penetrate in every country.

Yes, I am also optimistic about the price of bitcoin in next 10 years but I am also spending my 50% of the holdings to contribute to the movement of the bitcoin as I believe that movement is growth. What we are enjoying today is the efforts of those early adopters of bitcoin who spent their coins and made it valuable worldwide now it's our turn to spend as much as we can. (spending is buying something directly with bitcoin without exchanging it with fiat or any coupon/credits etc). I understand and face the issue that there are not many merchants out there who supports bitcoin payments but I am sure we the situation will improve soon.

Nope. I can ensure with you that I do not hold any bitcoin in my wallet right now. I have found that altcoins are more potential than bitcoin so that I decide to exchange all of my bitcoin to multiple types of cryptos. Currently, I am holding ripple, ethereum, ethereum classic and stellar lumen. I can ensure that the price will x10 after 1 year

Hold tight! I donw even see where I can spend my btc. I don't use drugs ))

  I think by continuing to hold bitcoin will be more profitable and after throwing it on bitcoin I feel bad. I hold a bitcoin when the price is stable and sell it if there is a fast pump and I just invest the bitcoin into ico. That's what I do with this bitcoin.

Still i will i guess bitcoin today was really successful and i guess still a good investment even it has a higj price i know that it will still continue to increase its price in the market and no doubt about the fact that it can really make a good profit.

Yes mo doubt year passes and we know that the bitcoin is increasing its price in the market rapidly and no doubt that it will continue to increase and if we continie to hold our bitcoin it will continue to grow a great profit in the future so no doubt that many people still holding and t selling there bitcoin.

it's good to spend too. i only spend what i earn and retain some holdings i won't get rid of. it's supposed to benefit you so sometimes turning paper profits into real stuff is good.

Oh yes, indeed! I'm still holding my bitcoins for now till end of this year :)

I wish I had more bitcoin to keep it. I have very little bitcoin, I only own a little bit altcoin, I hope it can rise quickly =)
waiting for the luck

Because the price is keep on rising so it is a great option to hold, most of the user used bitcoin as investment, and of course we want our investment to keep on growing, but if you are in need of money then you can spend it, that is the purpose of having an investment, you can't hold your bitcoin forever without spending

Yes it is the best time to hold bitcoin because the price of bitcoin is always developing and changing. If people want to increased income and to earn more one  should take the risk of holding bitcoin as hit its highest peak or ones target price. And we all know that the further movement of bitcoin is make happened by the support of the community  of the users of bitcoin and the development of the developers. If you want to hold more bitcoin, its better to set goal and have a suitable wallet of your choice on holding your bitcoin. And you should monitor also the price for the sudden changes of price of bitcoin to know when to trade or to hold more.

Been holding some of my bitcoin since i purchased at around $500 and already sold 40% of my holdings. I don't actually have that much but i try to gain more bitcoin from cryptocurrency trading. Hopefully this year i could raise more bitcoin as the price will skyrocket to $4k they say, hoping and i think i will.. I will be holding this until the price is $100,000.. lol

I hold the majority of my bitcoins (and altcoins) but I cash out a portion of my holdings once in a while and I do believe bitcoin will keep going up in the short and medium term. So why do I cash out a little once in a while? Because then in the unlikely event of a huge crash I won't regret anything.

At the moment I only hold bitcoin is not much, it is because I'm still new to bitcoin, all bitcoin I get with the purchase of the exchanger, I believe that future day the price will skyrocketing.

Dont lose hope buddy and you will surely gain profits from bitcoin later on and giving you an advice there are lots of ways to earn bitcoin but not just directly on buying it on exchanges but you can earn it on small or micro jobs here on this forum and with that way you can able to extent your potential earnings on bitcoin.

I don't have much Bitcoin. I've bought a little here and there. So, my main focus has been buying more cheaper altcoins and selling them for Bitcoin when the price goes up. So..I'm not holding on to Bitcoin.

For now I hold my bitcoin, I am sure that bitcoin will increase in the coming months, for now the best way is wait and see until bitcoin price fluctuation, then I will decide whether to hold bitcoin or not

i'm always holding, you know you can use bitcoin as a currency right? for this reason there no real benefit in dumping, just use your bitcoin like they are money and stop only see them as a speculative tool

i like the phrase that say "i dump fiat for bitcoin", instead of the opposite, no matter what the value will be i'll never cash out, if i'm not forced because i can't use bitcoin to buy certain thing that you need fiat for

those thing usually are, some foods, like fruit(i can't find a dealer online that accept bitcoin) or buying an house and stuff like that

Yes I am holding my bitcoin, but it is very difficult in experience ever done in bitcoin prices soaring up high before being ignored by me. I hold bitcoin when the price is stable and sell it if there is a fast pump and I just invested bitcoin into ico

What I am doing is that whenever my client pays me in Bitcoin, I try to save 20% of it. I spend 20% as conversion to Etherum & use the remaining 60% to pay to vendors. So the breakdown for me is 20% + 20% + 60%

This is a bit low risk but for large amount (greater than 5BTC) I end up saving only 1BTC as maximum.

Bitcoin price is predicted to reach $3000 soon and then to $5000.Ever growing adoption and increase in demand has made the price to rise continuously.Japan adopting bitcoin payment legally is also a reason.Australia is also expected to accept bitcoin as a currency.

As good an idea of holding bitcoin for the long term may seem i believe that by holding all your funds in bitcoin all the time you are actually making a lot of investment opportunities or other opportunities in general disappear from you.

Remember that back in 2008 when everyone was crazy about the sharemarket crash, and foreclosures? Nobody seemed to care about bitcoin because they're preoccupied with other investmetns.

I'm not saying that bitcoin is a bad investment, it's just that there may be better investments than btc in the short run especially.

you should try to find out the right time and right occasion for investment, you need to have good study about the crypto market. for most of the time we hold our bitcoin and when the market start increasing we sell our bitcoin and do not book the profit. while so other time we  invest our assets in bitoin when the price bump, in fact it is very difficult to find out the right time it need more experience and more knowledge about bitcoin market.

I started to store more bitcoin into my wallet and try to hold it as long as I can. I predicted more countries will follow Japan's way to legalize bitcoin hence there's a chance for the price to move up even higher in the future.

Agreed. Holding bitcoin is probably the smartest move right now. I got into the majority of my bitcoins when the price was $400 and a lot of people were skeptical of my move. Now they're very jealous since most of them didn't invest alongside me even though I told them to :-\

Most of my net worth is in crypto, and most of that crypto is obviously invested in bitcoin. It's logical in my opinion because I just can't see another altcoin overtake bitcoin anytime in the future, no matter how complicated and complex the technology gets.

Unless i need to buy groceries, i'm going to keep holding btc.

Keep doing it and you shall make enough money, that is the trend that should be followed because it has been for years.
This is how crypto works, it's fall of hype.

That's smart. Instead of holding everything in bitcoin diversify into other altcoins, or just other investments in the real world. Bitcoin is probably going to be a good investment in the long term, but in the short term it is prone to a lot of fluctuation. You don't want to lose $1000 a night because bitcoin is crashing, no that's not a good feeling at all. Keep some cash, keep some precious metals, keep some other altcoins.

But don't forget to keep some BTC as well for the long run. Save it in a paper wallet that nobody can touch. Laminate it.

Yes im holding into it but im not holding that quite big amount because i lost it all after i sent some altcoins in the wrong way which makes my bitcoins gone,holding bitcoins is now the most profitable way to earn now i think thats why im holding

LOL. I do not understand what you are saying here. So basically you will sell all your bitcoin when the price drop, right? It is not a good idea, fork. YOu need to be more patient and hold your bitcoin for a long long term

I'm not leaving BTC or quitting and selling my holdings at all, I think the price has huge potential much more than now, However I'll sell some of it for the currently excellent price right now, I'm selling around %20 or so and keeping the rest "for the price to go to the moon?".

Yes the price again started to rise so it mans that now again people have started to invest in bitcoin and hold them for longer. I am also holding my bitcoin for he future because I have great expectations from the price and I hope I will earn a high profit.

I am of course holding quite a lot of my Bitcoin, around 90 percent. But I am also trading with the other 10 percent of my Bitcoin. The price is rising and dropping every day and you can make an insane amount of profit if you know how to trade well. I am currently not that good but still managing to make a good profit.

Bitcoin has a great future ahead. Only 0.1% of world population is into it. There is big potential market for bitcoin available. Many people are getting to know about bitcoin now. Investors from all around the globe are increasing. This will certainly gonna raise the bitcoin price exponentially. But you can't keep on holding your bitcoin like forever in the greed of more profit. What I do is I make a target like of a year or so. After that I sell about 30-40% of my bitcoin and keep on holding the other part. Meanwhile I earn more through my website. This way I am actually able to reap the benefit of bitcoin's increasing price.

Bitcoin still have a lot of potential to grow in the years to come but I don't hold all the bitcoin that I have on my wallet. I sell a percent of what I got time to time after a price rise so that I got some money to spend and also to contribute to the market's price movement.  I also rebuy sometimes but holding bitcoin is against it because if all users will hold, no one will supply bitcoin to the market for others to buy and experience the benefits bitcoin gives to it's users so it is better to spend it and then gain some again afterwards.

When a pump is started then you do not need to sell your bitcoins because that pump will last for longer as you are seeing nowadays the price of bitcoin is rising and this rise will continue for more longer. Anyone who will sell will lose the future profit and anyone who will hold for more longer will earn a good profit.

That is a good idea to hold it. Split holding bitcoin is one the best thing to do so that it will have purpose for this day and for your future. If im going to answer that question ill will going to hold it because i believe that will be double more its value as the time past by.

I think no one wants to sell bitcoin when it drops. Instead of accepting the hole, you can wait patiently, bitcoin is a strong currency, just wait, it will not let you down.

I am trying to hold as much as I can. It ain't easy, I spend a bit when it is absolutely necessary to. I also think the bitcoin ecosystem needs people to spend, trade, exchange. Imagine if all the early adopters held their bitcoin.

No one wants to sell in low price or below the purchase price, fluctuation is the price uncertainty it may mean he will decide to hold or sell when prices change can go up can or go down.
I recommend not holding all your bitcoins because there are other ways to earn profits like invest in ico or altcoin trading.

You choose the right strategy - you can not store all assets in one coin. But I do not think this advice will suit a beginner. After all, trade in altcoins is very risky, and a beginner can lose his money

Yes without a doubt I'm holding on to my bitcoins but it's funny though because most of my bitcoins are in trading sites for altcoins. But still I'm holding on to them.

Bitcoin is money and money need to circle. Yes, there are many people who's strategy is HODL, but also stay many many people who sell and buy bitcoins daily. Exactly this process makes the price of bitcoin to raise.
Bitcoin helpsmy life a lot and I stay on the side 20% of my earnings and other part I gamble with or cash out when I need some money. That's my startegy ;)

Im holding my bitcoin until now, though price dump little but I know it will increase again. I invest some into altcoins and bitcoin the most. Holding bitcoin will sure get a profit.

of course the price of bitcoin is dump little but i hope that it will increase again, i had invested some most of my money in bitcoin and i also gain much profit in this year when the price increase and after that increase when the price fall again i invested more of my money in bitcoin i and i am sure that the price will go up that's why i hold my bitcoin.

Holding Bitcoin is a wise choice considering with the recent developments and a lot of good news like Japan accepting Bitcoin and Australia to follow next month and etc. Though regarding SegWit this August 1 I hope that it will turn out great and as not what other people have predicted regarding the split. From what I know, a large percentage of miners and wallets have accepted this and will go with it though I hope all will go with it or others who don't will have a change of heart.

I have a piece of coins that I plan to keep forever!  ;D
Now I do not plan to sell them and maybe I'll pass them on to my children.
But I sell one more piece of coins when the cena is high, and then I buy when the price falls

Maybe right now I just keep a bit bitcoin left in my wallet, and do trading and investment activities with some altcoins like XRP and STRAT.
But if you look at potential of bitcoin will continue to increase until the end of this year

Yes you can get profit with holding bitcoins, but in my opinions the amount of profit will not be large
except investing into bitcoins with large of money,
we can get large of amount profit with investing into the altcoins for long time and i have made invested in ETC
for long term investing there is chance the price like ETH.

i dont have a lot of coins, just a few but i will hold them until it's $100k each.

most of the people are holding ...
some people like to swim in the tide of crypto so they are trading  :o

As for now, yes. I am holding it. Since there is no reason for me to use it in this season then it's a good way to just hold or keep it.

But when needed, well it's not bad to use some of your bitcoin since that is what bitcoin is made for: To be use as an alternative money to make your life less complicated.

right, I keep most of my bitcoin, some of it I use for altcoin trading, the results are pretty good, we have to manage our bitcoin to keep growing, we can trade or join ICO to get more bitcoin

I'm one of this mantra people. But I don't have an opportunity to hold all my bitcoin profit, I just need this money, cause of today I'm without work and I live with those money. Anyway, after every new earning I'm trying to stay on the side some money to not skip that moment when bitcoin will sky rocket. ;D

Yes, there is nothing bad in this. Not everyone is using Bitcoin as store of value and expecting he/she will become millionaire someday with reserves. For some Bitcoin is regular income which they withdraw in fiats to their banks every month. For some Bitcoin is mere money and they buy Bitcoin just to remunerate personnel. And these all variations are required for smooth working of Bitcoin. Else it will left being mere investment and will be restricted to early adapters or riches. 

Of course I'm holding on my bitcoins. Bitcoin became like a fiat currency for all the altcoin traders and ICO investors. So this will bring a huge improvement on prices.

HODL. Saved enough cash to live while hodling.  :D

Im not surprised that you are having a hard time just holding your bitcoins and not touching them at all, because everyone of us knows what the price of bitcoin is, and this factor makes it extremely attractive to just spend it for some different types of goods: but many people tend to say that you shouldn't do that at all, you are going to regret later because BTC will go up all the time!

To be honest, this point of view is not useful for me at all. Indeed, I also prefer to just save my money in bitcoins, but If I want to spend them for something I need, or if my situation requires to spend some of them ( or I even want to invest the part ) then I do not hesitate: I just use it.
Every single asset has to decrease its price to make further rises, so Im not worried at all and I actually think it will drop its price a little bit now: so I spend a small part of it, I just dont see a reason why shouldn't I do something like that.

probably most people only see the opportunity in bitcoin after it gets to its current price and are now giving lots of effort to have it which they didn't do before ;D well, although the price has now reached the higher value it doesn't mean there's no longer an opportunity that bitcoin gives to us so that I still keep on doing what I usually do which is earning it through different ways . and as I noticed recently, the price seems slowly getting increased again so I get really convinced to hold the amount of bitcoin I have and the other that I'll be earning soon .

I holding some btc of my wallet for my future.

 I like to hold some bitcoin always..its rise give me much pleasure..it can give more profit too..better holding some for future..

I will hold a portion of it yes for long term but also taking some money home now too after my ether wallet got hacked so it's best always to take home some of the bitcoin we earn in case of lurkers waiting to pounce and take it all away.  :'(

Can not wait to hold bitcoin that finally gets a little profit,
When I have bitcoin sales at a low price while bitcoin prices are rising, that's where we have to be patient to sell them ;D

if i will just rely on the wallet and wait again the bitcoin to grow up high. it will take some serious time. instead i will put all my bitcoin balance in trading. this maybe risky but when you check the right path . it will make you instant millionaire.

I will be holding my bitcoin as long as i don't need money. Bitcoin has a great future and have huge potentials. I trade to earn bitcoin and will be holding btc for the future.

I am definitely holding my bitcoin for long time, but i use it right now to buy some alt. That way i can increase my income. If i only hold, the return is quite small because my bitcoin is only a little.

Bitcoiners divide into some groups, where some like to hold on their bitcoin, others want to get profits from trading bitcoin-altcoins - sell at higher price. And who have huge amount of bitcoin such as early adopters or miners will sell bitcoin as much as they want, after all theirs (bitcoin) are abundant. But, there is a group which use bitcoin as an alternative currency for daily transaction even though just few people.

Think about the extremes. If no one wanted to hold bitcoin, there would be many sellers and no buyers, and the price would be zero. If everyone wanted to hold it, there would more buyers that sellers, and the price would rise. Reality falls somewhere in between.

i think this is what i do because i want to hold more bitcoin in my wallet so if the time is come, i can directly sell my bitcoin to have the money. holding bitcoin for me is excellent way to do because we can see that the price is going to go up again so i think its the best chance for us to hold more bitcoin.

Do not regret it, we did not keep it when it was at high prices, but we did not make the wrong choice, we chose earlier than the others.

For some, bitcoins represent digital assets - store of value, whose price increases with time due to the artificial scarcity - Holders.

While for others, bitcoins represent a peer to peer version of electronic cash. The first is valuable when people hold it, while the second gets valuable the more people are using it.

True it's not easy. Sometimes you wish that you tried your money in alts that has skyrocketed, but still it's good to have BTC in a long time just don't try to get drag by the varying prices. Whatever the reason on why sometimes it's really down low won't change anything even if you know the reason. As a sideline worker here, I just have no choice but to watch the ecosystem far afar and going with the flow. This is a big club and I think I'm still not in the big club.

base on the current situation and trend on bitcoin i think it is high time to buy and hold btc. just like investment. i think by the year 2020 it is the universal mode of payment. so if you invest today the value of the coin will soar high.

Long term is the real deal in investing in bitcoin because as you can see the bitcoin is have pump and dump but when you look at the overall graph the price of it is straight to the top means these following years bitcoin will pump more.

Almost everyone believes that bitcoin prices will go up at a higher price than ever, I also believe that, so the best step now is to hold as much bitcoin as possible, earn as much bitcoin as possible so when the maximal bitcoin price is high enough we can sell it according to the needs

Though the price has decreased a lot than the past week as well has made a big price variation of more than $600 is something that none expected. Long back itself I have decided to hold it to the maximum possible and benefit out of it. Also realized that price fluctuations with bitcoin and other digital currency is quite common, so there is no need of panicking and sell low.

this situation also occurs before, not really thr amount but the pump and suddenly dump of bitcoin price. We just need to wait for its pump again and dont miss that opportunity if ever happen.

I am not exactly holding onto my Bitcoin, but I am. I have 6BTC in cold-storage. The rest of my Bitcoin, I converted to Ethereum. Ethereum is rising in value and I am preparing for the August 1st hard fork. I'm expecting prices to drop then.

i am still holding bitcoin but i am separated it into many places like in my account in the many market, my android phone wallet, my desktop pc. i think for me, its really safe to separating the amount of my bitcoin because i can use for each of my purpose so i don't need to confuse when i want to use to buy something or else. my mostly bitcoin amount is on some place in my pc and only me that have the access to see or to used the amount so i think it will be safe for me.

i'm in the same boat with Doge...BTC is UP 28% for a 30 day period, including this correction. Tell me, how many stocks or bonds, or gold or silver ETF's or individual companies can claim this sweet rise? Not a heck of a lot.
A few moths ago, I took all my funds out of Goldmoney, and, put it into mostly Ethereum, and other top 10 coins, and, I enjoy the cheap speculative coins, like Verge, Reddcoin, as you can get a lot of bang for your buck...the downside is minimal, and, the upside is pretty big, if one gets a bit lucky. I also just plopped a fair chunk into Litecoin, for long term holding, as from what I've been reading, this one could reach triple digits within a year, or more.
I got sick and tired of spot gold creeping up, and my gold mining stocks going red, day after day, proving to me the manipulation factor. The time for bullion will come, things have to get nasty in the stock market before that happens, or, WWIII starts.
It's impossible to counterfeit a blockchain..before this 2nd correction, in a very short period of time, my total accounts had risen almost 35%, and, for now(it won't last), tax free. I made a fair chunk in 2016 on mining stocks, and, my tax bill sucked...I'll go where the action is any day, especially when it's tax free(1 site wanted my SS# for taxes(and I would not sign up there, no way)
I thought paying $320 fro BTC was too much, and, a big risk. I said that when I bought my ETH for $66, and, on and on it goes.
There is so much money in this arena, it's amazing, a true global phenomenom, and, a tectonic shift in "money" as we know it, changing before our very eyes. Cash will simply dissapear soon, as crypto-currency takes hold. These are "The good old days" NOW.

I'm holding my bitcoin until the price of bitcoin reach $2950 yesterday and luckly my plan is really success. I mean, the price of bitcoin is going down yesterday and luckly i'm not holding my bitcoin anymore on that day. But i will buy bitcoins more today because i'm sure the bitcoins' price will increase again soon.

It is now the price of bitcoin is down and maybe this is a good opportunity to re-buy bitcoin as an investment, because it seems like to next few weeks will experience price increases again.

I think this is a good strategy. I have several bitcoin too on hold,but slowly I am diversifying it to other altcoins and ETH is one of it. I will only hold about 1/2 of it. There are many promising altcoin there that are worth investing. Just browse the Top coins in coinmarketcap.

ofcourse! we might not be in a good situation right now but I think it's still good to hold on to them longterm.

At this point of time holding your bitcoin is the best decision, there's been no holding when it comes to the price of bitcoin and every time there's a price drop,the price rally in a few days I guess experts prediction are all right that this year we will see the price of price going to $5000 or more.

Not sure about the future price of btc But due to Increasing demand and popularity we can expect the price to increase more in future . But that is just an expectation we dont know exactly the price will go up or down , we can just speculate as of now .

not exactly holding but not using for day to day life also because with the increasing transaction fees I can't afford to transact for every single transaction that i do in my daily life so now what I could afford is to transact in bulk amount because now we have to pay a high amount of transaction fees and i can't afford. so bulk transaction is my only way to transact. so the way i have is trading and keeping my bitcoin in partial hold. what i mean to say partial hold is not using it for day to day life instead using in for trading and keeping in wallet for long term. so in 1 sense we can say it hold only because money is not getting converted into real money and sometime i keep bitcoin in wallet for about 6 months so its some kind of hold.

Of course,this is a good idea to avoid transaction costs that seem to be a burden to us, and by storing bitcoin in the wallet is a very valuable investment action for our future, and massive transactions are a cost-effective way to avoid transaction costs.

Yes I am holding into my bitcoin and at the same time investing it in altcoins. It is said there will be hard for this coming August and bitcoin price will down so I think it is wiser to put some bitcoin in altcoins just to be safe.

Yes, I was still holding my bitcoin because I believe that in the future, value of bitcoin were still raising up. Bitcoin now is resting, some of users thinking that bitcoin were start shutting down but in reality it was still fluctuate in the market.

From the future, your opinion was correct and the price recovered and reached all time highs, yesterday the price fell by more than 200 dollars but recovered, I think the important point regarding that is the ability of bitcoin to recover it's value, even after falling.
I intend to keep the few bitcents I have until a really tempting price in the future, around $5000 or so.

Oh well if aiming for best profits might be much better to hold until this year end as we knew that some experts said that it will break 3k$ and hit up to 5k$ with this strong hype I guess holding it would be the best thing to do and if you still have spare fiat you can continue buying it now with cheaper value.

Holding with kind of diversification among other emerging cryptos. But main target is still Bitcoins as it has potential to rise more.
But also other than holding I use it often as well according to my needs and requirements.

Yes I am holding on to my bitcoin.Because bitcoij is one of my supplier on my financial needs.Because through bitcoin I am able to help my mother in paying for my financial needs and it makes me feel proud because i can help my parents.

I agree with you, bitcoin is one of the best investment when we talk about currencies.
Because bitcoin price is always increase over the years.
So, it's better to save a part of weekly or monthly income of bitcoin and use it when you need it very much, bitcoin can solve many problems.

Bitcoin has solved the financial problem of everyone I guess, those who sold Bitcoin I'm the early phase, every those bought back about made good profit now. If you see the past, Bitcoin's potential has rised significantly and it'll go up only. So holding as much as Bitcoin as you can is suggested always.

Yes I am really holding on to my bitcoin because through bitcoin i am able to make my money online and to gain money with my leisure time and by this i am able to help my parents in my financial needs.

  There are many reason for people to hold on into bitcoin or in other words to trust bitcoin. Yes I do believe that majority of the people choose to support bitcoin because it does have future for further development in transaction, price, value and security. We could also see the modes of transaction through bitcoin such as wallet with multi purpose ability. So these example can be the factor on people on the continuous support of the users to bitcoin in terms of transaction.

It is truly astonishing how we can take a profit out of the value of bitcoin, I think we should take a deep breath if you hold a bitcoin and the price drops do not fear if you don't make an exchange or sell your bitcoin in the right time there is always a chance in accumulating those numbers because it can always will go up, and you are right in saying to take a risk in holding bitcoin because you will never know what is up ahead for us, and don't be afraid because the price is still high than back then when it is on $600 dollar right?

I personally am holding for the long term, will be interesting to see what happens in August though, with many twitchy sellers it is hard to see it going anywhere but down

Many of us here is holding a bitcoin even if it is small or large because we are aiming for a profit in it. Most of our reason is to make a profit some of us are just keep earning bitcoins and staking it and keeping it on different wallets to avoid hacking, Many of us is believing that bitcoin will reach 3000$ and more this year. Im holding too because I know that bitcoin has a great future and ofcourse Im making profit from it.

I just HODLING bitcoin and also invest in altcoin. I can earn profit both bitcoin and altcoin thats why Im holding into it. I know and I believe it will increase its price though all investment is a risks.

Me too I am diversifying my holdings or portfolio. Some are in bitcoin, ETH,HMQ,MGO,BAT and some in the top 10 of coinmarketcap. Its better to diversify to minimize the losses.

I'll always hold my Bitcoin. I think selling isn't worth the risk.
If anything I'll buy some more. Because whatever price you buy Bitcoin for right now, it's still super cheap compared to the future price.

Well sometimes i do hold bitcoins for a while till i need money to buy something, soo im using my bitcoins even knowing that bitcoin has a huge potencial and will keep growing over time, the thing is wont invest more fiat as i can use my bitcoins to purchase.

I'm holding them tighter than ever. If you've been following Bitcoin you'll definitely know that this recent tumble is just one of the many corrections that occurred from time to time and it will most likely find its way back up again after they are bought up so no fretting about it but holding even tighter.

I'm not holding my bitcoin because its better for me to withdraw my bitcoins to my country's currency. Because there were some issues regarding this that some people tend to lose their money on their own wallet. Its so rough that they worked hard for that money and the wallets company disabled his acc for nothing. The company said that he failed on following the rules but he said he didn't, he followed all rules and regulation.

That is kind of scary, what wallet was this being used? Was he able to recover the money he has on that wallet though?
Anyways, I am currently still holding on to my bitcoins but the capital I invested for trading was withdrawn when I reached the target I was aiming for.

You will just lose opportunity to make a good profit if you withdraw your bitcoin directly.. you don't need to go in company to save your bitcoin there are many wallet that you have fully control with your private keys..
You can try electrum i never had any problem with this wallet and i think you can hold your bitcoin for a long time and get the benefits of the price increased,,

yes im holding on it too, because i want for the better of my future, i believe that bitcoin will be very great more years to come and it will continues to grow its value as time passes by. i wold it until the very end, i will not spend it until the right time will come. i will make bitcoin as my long term investment and for my future purposes.

market prices of bitcoin is now very high and still it is on increasing .keeping your bitcoin for your bright future is really a good option today so keep your bitcoin till its most high marking prices it is now hoped that it will increase to some more extent in a very few years so saving bitcoin is no doubt is a good choice.

I'm a big fan of bitcoin so I'm holding my bitcoins without selling, usually. I believe the future will be so bright and this will bring us to the next level in finance. I better trade, but it's hard for me so just holding.

That is true, the chances of BTC increase its price on near future is very high, it's a real good business to hold it with all your strength and I believe you don't need to hold it for few years, of course the profit would be higher, but holding for months worth too. Some people want a fast profit, and to hold for months or one year maximum can return you a nice percentage over the initial investment in fiat.

Right now, I'm not holding onto my Bitcoin because I'm investing it. I deposited my bitcoin in exchange sites and will use it to buy altcoinsand wait till 2020 hoping that both the price of the altcoins an the Bitcoin will go up.

For me, the best option right now is to hold on your bitcoin. We may have experienced a price swing that can be so frustrated at times. But if you look at it, bitcoin can recovered from this crash. So if you see the price dip, you don't need to panic. But the problem is that some of the casual investors are drawn by the panic and then sold their stash. And then later, then will regret their decision because they saw that the price has recovered and the opportunity to profit more is missed. That is why I'm saying that holding long term is the best option so that you can maximize your profits.

Yes, I am still holding my bitcoins in my wallet because i believe in long term profits and i think that the price of bitcoin will reach up to 4,000 USD at the end of this year or even at least 3,000 USD and after this year the rally will continue up to 10,000 USD. I do believe in bitcoin and i don't care if the price will fall very hard because the only things that i know are buy low and hold.

That is a wonderful thing kid,hope you have a good day and keep on making more and make sure you focus your time in studies. I have invested my coins in different ICO's and i really like diversifying my investments rather than holding the coins for a long time.

To be honest, i am that kind of person that can't hold  into something for TOO long. so  I am always in a hurry to sell them off. but now i am making a difference in my life holding them  hoping the price will keep on going up and up !
i just hope i dont regret it lol.

I stick with things that I found good and prosperous, no matter how long it takes. So it's with bitcoin. I hold to bitcoin quite a long time now and with time I'm getting more and more involved and interested and see more and more advantages. I hope this positive trend with price will continue and that will stay with bitcoin for a long time.

That's better. For tips, it's better not to look always on it and take it easy to you won't get bored or tired of waiting. Good things could come unexpectedly and the person who benefit of it are those one who choose to wait for that moment than people who doesn't have patience.

Well for me yes, I will keep on holding my bitcoin even in this time on second week of June 2017 the price is going down and just increasing slowly it is not meant for me to withdraw it instead I buy more at the time it goes down. Actually the some of it is I used in trading for me to earn more in future use, for my needs, and also to buy my new mobile gadget.

We should not look at the current value of Bitcoin, we should look to the future of Bitcoin, I believe in the potential and future of Bitcoin, so for any reason, I will also keep my bitcoin until it reaches the highest value, I will sell it. Since I started investing in bitcoin, I determined this to be a long term investment and I just sold it for the highest price, so now the price of bitcoin up or down is not a problem for me. I also like you, I do not want to regret and miss the opportunity to make money, I'm very patient and I have plenty of time to wait Bitcoin

I think if I had a lot of bitcoin I will begin also to collect it so that it can hold so much bitcoin and someday maybe after a few years with this I also would get a greater advantage. bitcoin with so I get I can use well and can be accumulated so I can enjoy the results of the bitcoin. because as much as we just save money for the future.

I always keep some of my bitcoins for me to collect. well, although the price has now reached the higher value it doesn't mean there's no longer an opportunity that bitcoin gives to us so that I still keep on doing what I usually do which is earning it through different ways :)

I am not sure if I will hold bitcoin long term or if I will exchange it for other upcoming tokens or coins. I will decide before August to see what to do. I only have a small amount anyway so it won't make much difference to be quite frank. All depends on what the Bitcoin Developers and Miners decide what to do.

Its the same with me, I am a long term believer and while I do sell from time to time I always hold on to most of my coins.

I unfortunately did not manage to follow the same strategy. I had to sell almost all my coins. But I hope that soon I will be able to accumulate a few coins for the future

I sell some of my Bitcoin when I buy things but I really prefer to save it and hold it. I am hoping one day I will have a few Bitcoin when the price really takes off into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Then we all have an opportunity to become very wealthy people.
I'm pretty sure most people here are hoping the same and we all in the same boat.

Just keep it in a cold storage.

Same here :) I am only selling bitcoin whenever a need arises. I am religiously holding it for quite sometime now. I am very optimistic that bitcoin will recover soon or some in the future because of good news coming like more countries are approving btc as legal payment option.

That's a normal things for the bitcoin holder, of course if you know and believed that bitcoin will rise up to 10,000$ you will hold it in a long term. And I knew most of the bitcoin enthusiast waiting for this matter.

The fact that bitcoin hits grater than $3000 last month keeps me focus on keeping my bitcoin even its dump for I'm hoping that btc can still applicable to reach that amount soon.

Exactly the bitcoin have dumps and pumps too so selling it in dump will only cause you to lose your bitcoin, no matter how many dumps will happen as long as bitcoin will pump again and in my experience after dump there are bigger pumps that are waiting for bitcoin so I think selling is not good, sell only if you need fiat.

Yes it seems Holding is a very right decision because bitcoin prices are increasing over time, if we allow more profit then holding a few months or even years is not a hindrance. :D

Thats really a great and practical idea.I am also going to implement the same plan here after.Bitcoin price has been constantly increasing for the past six months from $850 to nearly $2530.No one would be ready to spend bitcoins for normal things except for desperate needs.Holding bitcoins would give huge returns.

Yes this is a good idea and I guess most of the people holding bitcoin are looking for the moment the prices go high and they make a good profit with their holdings.
I guess currently no one will be selling bitcoin because the price is too low from the potential price of bitcoin. I am also looking for the price to reach to my target pint and I will then be selling them.

It's practically hard to know when to sell your coins as bitcoins just continues to beat expectations every time and the returns and potential returns are really tempting to hold on to those bitcoins for a longer time. For me, I think I will sell what I have when the prices reach probably about $10,000. That might even be near by the looks of it.

I am sure that not every one of us have that previligue when you don't need some extra money. I found today's price as high and every time when I desperate need money I just cash out everything I have without any regret. Surly I believe in bitcoin's growth, but bitcoin to mee is not just gambling fun, it's real financial support.

Honestly, I don't think many people can truly be in a position to hold or not hold unless they have at least 1BTC. Cumulatively, I've reached that amount, but with outgoing spends as well as some tricky balances in 3 sites I have no control over (aka no protection from being Goxxed), I only own 0.1 BTC more or less. Of course hodl!

Everyone knows that his decrease in the price of bitcoin is just for the time being and there for many of the people are holding their coins instead of getting panic to sell their holdings at this price. Besides being a tough time for bitcoin holders it is an opportunity at the same time who want to buy it and sell it in the future with a good profit.

Right now it looks like the price is going strong. Its moving to $2700+ and we may reached $3000 soon. So holding is the best course of action for most of us. We should not be carried away and panic sell if we see that the price is going down. Because sooner or later the price will rebound and you will regret later if you see the price has gone up. So I prefer to hold on my bitcoin.

What are you talking about,holding bitcoin can be any number of coins,from the smallest denomination if you are planning to hold,it is called as holding bitcoin. :P I am not holding bitcoin for the long terms dreaming about prosperity,if i find a good investment opportunity now i will be reinvesting in it,so it depends upon certain conditions.

Maybe he has set up in his mind that 1 full btc is the amount that is better to hold. I myself doesn't even getting close to hold 1 btc in my wallet for simply reason that I only earn and not buying at the moment. But if I see conditions that will give me the opportunity to buy, then I will go for it and hold it for a long time.

I am not expecting the price of bitcoin unless we have some clarity on how the scaling issue is going to be settled,it is just a good couple of trading days needed for the coin to rally past three thousand dollars but for the investors to get confident we need to have something else,the vision and transparency could lead some somewhere.  :P

Always Be Holding

That doesn't mean you cant spend a bit or re-invest in other tokens, it just means always be holding some BTC ;)

Yep, holding is the best idea! once we have solution to scaling issue(the faster the better), we'll see a huge rally. Max Keiser's $5000 a coin prediction might come true. i'm holding!!

At this moment no, I'm unable to keep up with the volatility that is present in the market of Bitcoin. I know it may make people mad here, but I'd rather convert to USD to be able to avoid the volatility and to simply accumulate money through the stuff that I make money with Bitcoin and I'm able to avoid the volatility of the market by just having an auto coinbase addy to convert it to USD instantly.

I have some money in BTC that I've left there and some more money in some altcoins so I can still make money if the price does go up but I'm not over exposing myself to the volatility that we all know is present in the cryptocurrency market.

Yes, i am holding my Bitcoins for a long time and i am not really planning to sell them in near future just because of the fact that Bitcoin is showing tremendous amount of growth and i believe that it will be the best investment of my life.

Yes, I have also joined the large group of people who will hold their bitcoins until I can see at least 4 zeros in the bitcoin value. It is true that I have made this decision too late, having sold a lot of my coins at $1300, but the amount that I still have can be very useful to guarantee a good financial future. Meanwhile, just keep accumulating and holding our bitcoins and we'll see what happens in August.

Actually people already learned that holding bitcoin now is more profitable than selling it in a wrong timing. And so even me I contininue to earn and earn and earn and hold it for long so that I can earn more from it. And mostly people is waiting for what will happen this coming event on august, people are assuming and expecting for a big pump on it so continue holding and we can see the good result of it and also earning. Since the price is increasingly good enough continuesly.

Even if don't guarantee higher bitcoin prices I only hold my 50% of my bitcoin in my wallet and the 50% was invested I hope the price will be higher ;)

Still i guess the bitcoin is still a good way to earn a good profit like a know or in the pass year i guess it will still increase its price to a maximum and still i will gold my bitcoin in case but i dont invest all my money there because still risky at all time.

in fact most of the people here are confident to hold bitcoin and not to sell it right now, in fact the investors want to hold bitcoin for next few months and  i am sure that in next few months the price of bitcoin will raised to more and more high price. it is expected that the bitcoin price will continue increasing and this time going to cross 3000$ and will even hit 4000$,and hope that it will continue increasing after that.

The majority of everyone is holding for a big price increase, we are still recovering from a drop. Now bitcoin has become internet gold and the future for it seems really good, keep holding on to it for the next 3 years and maybe we will all be millionaires. Most of us here are pretty much bitcoin definitely has the potential to rise incredibly high, especially with the recent news related to Japan, the demand for bitcoin has grown immensely after that.
 
In my current state, I am currently holding 60% of my coins which I keep in a separate wallet to prevent myself from using. With the rest of the bitcoin I have it use it for shopping and trading, I think it would be beneficial for you to save some bitcoin also since most of are just waiting for bitcoin to explode again.

To prepare if bitcoin prices skyrocket again I just hold 20% bitcoin of the total balance I have, because I'm having other needs and need funds. I know it will make me regret if bitcoin skyrocket again, but I'm used to this kind of situation, so this is not a big deal for me. Please guys hold your bitcoin because bitcoin prices will skyrocket again, but bitcoin prices are now at $2.7k and I think it's not a bad value and it would not hurt to sell it now.

I am full of my bitcoin. Usually i will use some btc for spending every month. The rest I will save the bitcoin for the future

In fact, it is very difficult to sell bitcoins on the one hand, because for me it's just a very good payroll for every day) I spend this money the way I would spend my salary. I do not mind to part with them, I know that I can earn more.

same with me
just spending it for my needs
the rest of it i keep it for long time or if i need something again

Youre too rich. If i will get a bitcoin this year or this month i will hold it too. I will wait for more years until it will be good enough or it will gain more and more value and in that time i will earn a lot and i will sell it then. For me bitcoin is a good investment for long term investment and for long time. Then hold coin till it gain.

You'll only be rich if you do not work anymore, and bitcoin will give that in the future, we do not need to work to make money,
let's just hold it longer and see how the value of your bitcoin grow, you can just get something to spend for your living but make sure
you have still more for holding.

Holding my bitcoin is the only thing that I'm doing right now, because I know that I could make a lot of profits out of it in the long run. I'm also converting some of my bitcoin if the price is rising and skyrocketing, in this way I could feel the profits that I'm having in holding my bitcoins. But there are some people who are spending their bitcoin on all the things that they are buying in their everyday lives, which is very immature for me. It is like throwing away the profits and the benefits that we could get on bitcoin in the long term investment of it by holding it for years or for lifetime.

It can't be helped when you really need it. You really need to convert some of your bitcoins to fiats. But now, I am keeping myself from using them because I want to save for the next pump. After these network splitting or fork, I know the price will be skyrocketing again and if I don't have any bitcoins that time, it will be a huge regret of my life.

I will try from now on to save from the signature campaign and I have a very small amount that I started to do a few trades with. I would like one day to own 10 Bitcoin for our pension plan but for now I must focus on making our first bitcoin then it gets a little easier from then on.

I have around 0.3 or so and I'm still holding it, I got it before a long while at $100 for it so already made a relatively good profit, but I'm not looking at it as a short term investment, rather a part and contribution to BTC even as it grows adopted world wide and as a global currency.

But I don't think earning from signature campaigns and some services will be enough to save 10 bitcoins that easy, it will take a lot of years before you can save that much especially when you're way of earning is just signature campaign. It is good if you can invest your money, do some tradings online, earn some altcoins too. You can try a lot of ways to earn bitcoin, you don't need to stick on one way.

Holding right now is a big risk IMO, with how things look and the discussions and all I prefer keeping them as USD in exchanges or even as other more stable crypto's until things finish, afterwards reinvesting into bitcoin.

Yes. Hold Hold Hold is the current mantra.

The central bank of the Philippines is already acknowledging it. Japan is also accepting it. Just recently, India had also opened its welcoming doors for bitcoin. In July, it would be Australia's turn to recognize bitcoin. These 3 countries legally opening up for bitcoin is just the start. Soon, others will follow suit.

So, hold on to your bitcoin. It's value is still rising.

Yes, some of the experts opinion about bitcoin is that its price will reach up to this much high but I think it will not be wise if we only listen to these experts because the expert were predicting that the price fall will be after 1st august and here is it we can see that most of the experts were wrong because we faced a crash in the prices.

Yes, and it's exciting to continue holding the price trends because of the bitcoin keeps up, I'm sure one day many countries that legalized the use of the bitcoin.

majority of people in current situation are holding their bitcoin. i myself not going to sell my bitcoin, and everyone is holding for only one reason that the price of bitcoin is increasing. i am sure the price of bitcoin will cross 3000$ in next few days.

in fact such expert people have good experience and for most of the time their prediction proved as correct. but still we cannot only depend on them. we need to study the market, to take the views of other investors, need to know about the interest of the people and after that we should take a decision, currently i think most of the people opinion is to hold bitcoin for a long time.

Yes, it is one of the best decision that one can take.
There is nothing that we can say something totally new for bitcoin users to come across a price fall. In past we have seen more percent decrease in the price of bitcoin and also we have noticed that after each fall bitcoin crosses new records of reaching to the high prices.

Becasue of this reason, people are expecting more from bitcoins. I hope that bitcoin will not fail our dreams. If this comes true, then many people will make huge money with this bitcoin. But the thing is the expectation is too high $5k maybe it will reach $4k or $4.5k. I am holding my coins I am trying to make at least 1 BTC this year end.

Only 1 btc this year end? I think you can do more than just 1 btc sir by trading. Bitcoin is already a too good to be true investment according to people without/less crypto knowledge but imagine if they can see how these alts performs?

It's good to accumulate as much Bitcoin as you can before it starts getting into the 5 to 10k price range, however holding it isn't going to make it grow. Either trade it and make money on altcoins then trade back, or dump more fiat currency in!!

Holding of bitcoin a good practice as the present statistics at least say that, it's skyrocketing. Even, there's no secret that Cryptocurrency will be the new form of money. So, Join this influence and stay up to date with everything in the Cryptocurrency world!!

Yes I’m holding my bitcoin but as time goes on and we get closer to august 1 I think we are going to see a decrease in price as people try to get out of bitcoin for the fear a hard fork may come, I still believe in bitcoin but there is no doubt in my mind that difficult times are going to come to us and we must hold no matter what.

Congrats on that profit. I have also similar situation like you. I have a bit of bitcoin that I bought last year. But what makes me upset is only holding is not givin us much benefit.

I dont think i will hold it for a long time now, once bitcoin price become 3000$ i will sell my all of my remaining bitcoins. For sure there will be a dump again after it reaches 3000$ peak.

In my opinion and from what i learned you should always keep saving your coins until some day you either really need the money or the bitcoin is about to witness a massive drop, because whenever the price goes up it usally keeps going up and selling it will cause you to lose moeny.

YES, and you should be too. Cut out all of the noise and look at what Bitcoin in terms of economics is setup to do. RISE BABY!

Many of us here is holding a bitcoin for aiming a profit.
I also hold bitcoin, but mostly used in altcoin investments. I can get good benefits from bitcoin side and altcoin, that's why i do it

For me I just hold my bitcoin earnings and I do it for long term and also with my alt-coins because the market value of all these cryptocurrencies is still rising and some of my earning is for trading purposes also.

Most users want to have or accumulate a lot of bitcoin so when it pumps, they will be having good profit. But you are right, if all people will be saving all of their bitcoins, there will be no pumps that will happen unless it is used or circulated in the network. If not used, bitcoin will be stagnant and the price will just stay the way we live it here.

You have to learn about the market of bitcoin then you will know that the price of bitcoin will increase more higher in the coming future. $3000 will happen sooner but after that the price will continue to increase more higher, If you will keep till that time then you will earn much more as the price will increase and will not dump.

That's exactly why I keep holding and I don't even pay attention to corrections/crashes anymore. I think next year we can easily see a price higher than $10000

That's the opinion of every person, but for me, this is the moment to sell, Bitcoin is a little bit instable, it's going up and down very frequently, I expect it to rise up to 3000$, but after a dump to 2000$.
For now, the right decision is to sell.

I'm all holding mine and saying my friends to do the same thing so. I tried trade it made me lose some.

This will be your decision. Most of the users want to save their bitcoin because they all know that they will be seeing a pump after these network splitting. But before that there will be a dump, so I think if you sell now, that will be profitable, and then when it dumps, you buy some coins and save it for the pump.

Yes you are right if he will keep his bitcoin for more longer then he will definitely earn more profit with his bitcoins because the value of bitcoin is going much more better with the passage of time.

Better to buy and sell and ride the wave. Lately it's worked well. Never sell everything always keep a large amount if Bitcoin and even keep some in a cold storage.

holding bitcoin for a long time is really a good decision. because the price of bitcoin can increase more and more in near future and if you have invested a good amount of money then you can really get a good profit from it. you just need to remain calm and sound and can hold your bitcoin for a some time tell the price increase more, and therefore after some time you will surely get a good profit.

that is what i am also holding my bitcoin for a long time and hope that i will get good profit from it. in fact those people who have bought bitcoin when its price was trading below 1000$ just in December 2016, and still holding holding their bitcoin they can now get a good profit from it, and hope that if they will continue holding it that can even increase the value of their investment more. although i bought bitcoin a little late but still i am sure that holding bitcoin for long time will also give me good profit.

That's a good idea for you. I will do the same as yours. Because I don't want to cash out all my bitcoin into my wallet. I think that the value of bitcoin will increase in a few days. That's the big impact when you save half of your bitcoin. Save your bitcoin for your future purposes? That's nice. Because you already knew that bitcoin price was will increase soon.

I'll use my bitcoin when I don't have a load. Because the store here was closing early that's why I need an assistant. I'm so glad and thankful because bitcoin exist in this world. I know that there's a lot of people was helped by bitcoin.

I hold only some because we need money monthly for my family so i need to convert in cash some of my bitcoin. It's hard to hold bitcoin in a long time once in your family need an emergency we need to withdraw it for them.

That's why people should have another job instead of relying on Bitcoin to support them in the near future since the price of Bitcoin is not a for sure thing to give a positive influence in ones Bank account.
Bitcoin could be used as an investment where the money could get stored for years without speculating so much on the whole value of a Bitcoin.

If bitcoin is the only source of income for you then you need to sell them on regular basis but if you have full time job and getting paid in fiat money then it would be good to hold your bitcoins without spending them as in future the price of bitcoin will be much higher and that would be the best time to sell bitcoins.

I keep the bitcoins and I hope that in the future I will get a very big profit from them. I do not exclude that sometimes the price falls, but in the end there will be a good profit.

If you want to make higher profits from bitcoin then you should hold them for a very long term as price keeps on increasing over a period of time so if you hold them for next 4 to 5 years then you can expect much higher profits from it.

Trust bitcoin and with what you think that bitcoin will give you big profit in the future it will happen. It's why I keep on holding my bitcoins because there's a lot of people investing and even new comers are liking the way bitcoin's price move. And everyone knows that in the end bitcoin will just go on a upward line of charting.

Yeah having faith in bitcoins is very important as an investor you need to have faith in the investment you make and the same faith of all the users will make bitcoin more stronger and powerful currency in future.

Me myself all of my bitcoins that i have right now is currently on hold and im not spending it at all at anything just withdraw those bitcoins that i really need and store the remaining for future purposes

Honestly, I joined bitcoin a few years ago bit didn't really expect that btc price will jump so high.
So, I already spend some of my btc funds last year, in order to start my own business, also for some HYIP etc.
Now, I feel sorry that I spend it.
I lost money in this other projects but bitcoin continue to rise.
I learned my lesson here.

Spend them only if you are in desperate need of money or else best option would be to hold for the future as price will skyrocket in coming years and that would be the best time to spend your bitcoins and if you spend them now then you will surely regret in future.

Can not wait to hold bitcoin that finally gets a little profit,
When I have bitcoin sales at a low price while bitcoin prices are rising, that's where we have to be patient to sell them Grin

Yeah I am holding bitcoins for the future to make higher profits from it as price is moving in positive direction and if demands keeps on getting higher then we may see much higher price of bitcoins in next few months so the best thing would be to hold them.

Even i do agree india also on its way to legalise bitcoin if it happens there will be big boom in bitcoin and also some of exchanges set buying limit because of high demand of bitcoin.

That is the only way on how we could make a profits on it by holding them, we have to be patient on when we are going to convert or sell our bitcoins, increasing of its price doesn't mean that it is the right time, we have to wait until it reach its highest peak on that certain PUMP of bitcoin, and if you do want to have bigger profits out of it, then hold many bitcoin as many as you can.

Holding bitcoin right now is our best option with the transactions slowing down and the fees going higher it is hard for us to move it back and forth from an investment site for exemple to our wallet, plus many people right are saving their coins which is creating a high demand and what that does it makes prices go up so that in the future we can make some good profit from it.

Do not hold all you coins if you own a larger number. Keep selling at regular intervals so that you can average the price and make profits rather than cribbing when the price falls and it takes 2-3 years again to reach to that level. Due to its volatility its better to cash out at regular intervals.

For us to earn profit as long term basis you can hold your bitcoin. I do hold my bitcoin because I beleive its price will increase in the long run.

I also do that becuase I know in the future that I will become rich becausw of the bitcoin. We just need to wait to the time that the price of the bitcoin will be double or evenr triple. I hope that moment is now near to us.

If you compare the price to the last year then it has even gone higher then triple rates and we can expect the same in next year too so the best thing would be to hold bitcoins for next few months or years to gain maximum benefits from it.

It is a team effort for passive income. People just have to invest money into Bitcoin while holding it so they cash the coin out when Bitcoin reaches a really expensive price.

If they don't invest in Bitcoin then they could make money using a slower method, it does not really matter to me.

I make it to a point too tha I'll be able to save some for bitcoin, I already learned my lesson in the previous pump, if only i didn't cash out my btc beforw that, so now im on saving mode since then.

Died digitally. Dam it man died laughing on that statement. !
Well yeah, it is true that holding works all the time in case of bitcoin. But in my case I usually earn bitcoin as regular income and i dont really store all of it on the wallet. This is because, I have set bitcoin as my currency to spend on my leisure and life needs. I keep it that way because I know I can earn bitcoins everyday like o would do with my real job salary. So it does not need to be stored according me. You just earn it and spend it for yourself. That's all I need. :-)

I believe in holding my bitcoins but when I am in need of money without thinking much I sell my bitcoins as I know that even if I sell them now I have an opportunity to earn it back so its not a really very big deal for me.

IMO , holding may the best option , if you want to use emergency money, you can count on your real life salary.
Bitcoin really great investment as we can see bitcoin value increase exponentially over many years and yeah more people interest on bitcoin potential

yes, hold it as much as you can, patience is a virtue right? just think of the future not only what is happening now. bitcoin itself is a good investment, so when you hold your coins now, there will be a big chance that your bitcoin might be a millions of $ in the future, see? holding bitcoin is tiring and boring sometimes because we are being tempted but im sure its worth it.

I am holding on to my bitcoins. Looking back, people from the past that has held their coin until now are already swimming in bed made of cash. All those financial success didn't come knocking to their door one day. They also had to wait and they had to control themselves not to sell any of those bitcoins. Now, they are enjoying all the profit that they have made. I believe that we too can experience such thing if we're going to hold long enough.

My technique is to not cash out unless you actually need some money. There's no point selling your bitcoins just because you wanted to or just because you had the urge to do so.

Yes be strong and why you did started to enter bitcoin? Because you know and believe that there will be something good to happen on it in the future. And we already seen on how bitcoin is fast growing so there's no need for us to doubt on it. I will try to sell some if there will be something to spend for but mostly I'll hold.

Definitely I will be holding my bitcoins. Erik Voorhees predicted that after 4 years the price of bitcoin would be $10000 dollars. I already made a mistake by not holding bitcoins when its price was very low. Infact I didnt even think that the price of bitcoins will rise like this.Not only bitcoins, it will be better if you can hold  the digital currencies like ether,monero etc, because everyday along with bitcoins their price are also increasing.

If you compare the price one year ago with the price at the moment you will see that bitcoin grew about 5 times in that time period, what kind of investment, except for altcoins, can give you so much money, not many I suppose so I think we are getting huge benefits with bitcoin we just need to put even more money on it in order to get even more benefits.

yes that is right the the price of bitcoin rise more that 5 times as compare to the present price of bitcoin but in fact the price of bitcoin has still good potential and it can raise much more. and therefore the people who have even purchase bitcoin at a much price but still going to hold bitcoin for more time tell the price reach to more high price. so its mean that price of bitcoin has still good potential to increase.

I'm holding my bitcoin and never gonna sel with cheap prices like happening now. It has a good future, believe in it guys.

yes you are right holding bitcoin is really a good way to earn very much profit because the price of bitcoin in coming time will be very high and those people who only prefer to holding their bitcoin at that time they will be very rich and also i have seen in this forum that india also wanting to legalize bitcoin, so i think with the passage of time many more countries will legalize bitcoin and the price of bitcoin will be pumping.

Thinking first for our needs is better as if you will provide facilities for yourself and for your family then you will remain in rest and then you will be able to earn more bitcoin and money while if you will not fulfill your needs then you will be restless and will not be able to earn more.

Of course need is better in life in order for us to be more productive. For this reason, bitcoin can fullfil our needs since it's prifitable where though it's unacceptable job. This offers an opportunity to earn extra money to be spent.

I'm quite sure that the price will drop significantly before Aug 1, and then rise again (maybe even higher than it is now) again within short time if everything worked out fine after Aug 1.

So traders will have great opportunities right now if they're doing the right thing, for the long-term investor it may be easier to just sit, weather the August storm and keep your coins.  :)

But hey, I'm just a n00b.

You might be right since the price of a coin goes down before the news gets released. I feel that the price will go up much further than $3,000 since the people hearing about the whole segwit thing finally noticed that all that worrying is over with so they will be willing to invest more money into Bitcoin.

Just like me, I have bitcoin for investment purpose. But on the other hand I can use bitcoin for unexpected activities like getting sick. Because I'm sure bitcoin prices will continue to rise. Thank you

For me holding  my bitcoin  had been a difficult challenge for me reasons being that I have a lot of financial obligations to make selling off my bitcoins had made to settle or off-set some of my  bills but I hope to start keeping my bitcoin now because obviously the price will keep on rising.

I *trying* to hold, but it is hard!  ;D

Not really because at first if you do have bitcoin in your wallet there are instances that you need money in real life like you buy something so you should able to exchange it in your own fiat and cash it out. Holding your bitcoin is really profitable but sometimes you cant hold it, there are times you need spend it.

On the other hand, traders will be investing on buying some coins or altcoins to earn some profit while they are holding and it is really great strategy to earn some profit while you are holding. Though it is a risk but it is less than with the gambling

Though if you are just holding it and forget it in a period of time then it is really good passive income and not worrying about it, as the times goes by you can notice that your money is getting high

You may be a newbie but I agree, the problem is that things are not as easy as it seems, if a split happens then you will have two different coins, which ones to sell? Which ones to keep? It is going to be a real trouble and things are going to be very hectic so for those that don’t want to risk it the best choice is to endure the storm or to get out of bitcoin for the time being.

Actually, holding bitcoin is a nice strategy and option if you want to gain much income. However, it took longer time to wait. Now a day many people buy bitcoin and they hold it because there is a possibility that price of bitcoin will increase day by day in the near future. I hope it could happen in the future.

Sold a bit for diversification but for the most part I'm a long term hodler as I feel that Bitcoin still hasn't reached its full potential.

I just wait patiently for bitcoin to make me rich and do not succumb to the next bad news about the price drop ::)

I am holding small amount of bitcoin, and uses partial of it to trade small earnings on exchange platforms and betting sites. I am expecting it will rise its value, but not expecting too much.

Yes I just want to hold my bitcoin for long time because I believe that in the future, value of bitcoin was raising up. Also, I bet to my bitcoin investment because I was looking forward to continues success of bitcoin.

Holding is great option to make good profit of bitcoin. Bitcoin adopting globally. More countries taking bitcoin. And they creat filled to use it. For this reason bitcoin price will be more high. So if you want to make good profit hold on your bitcoin.

Holding is one of the best ways if you want to gain much income. I think I will hold my bitcoin and wait for the right time when the price of bitcoin is rapidly increasing. As of now there are many people who hold their bitcoin because there is a possibility that the price of bitcoin will increase in the near future. Being patient is one of the key to make a good profit.

This is just another way of facing the issue, instead of putting all your chips on one side of the fence or the other, you try an approach that is in the middle instead of selling all your coins you instead try to still have some bitcoin but sell the rest and convert them in other cryptocurrencies, this move is not going to get the biggest earnings but avoids getting high losses too, so it is a good way to tackle this issue.

How do you feel that?  ::)

I doN't HOLD anything as this is not the correct time for holding! The crash is imminennt

No i am not holding my bitcoins , i am converting my bitcoins to fiat currency as soon as i receive them only some part i keep in wallet for my sports betting balance i convert them to fiat currency to meet my family expenses.

It may seem like blasphemy, but I actually converted a bit into fiat, not any other cryptos. Most alts seem to be quite overvalued right now and historically they haven't been a good hedge against Bitcoin crashes.



I've got a magic 8 ball like everyone else :P

yes i am also managing to hold my bitcoin, actually i am a long term investor and i want to hold bitcoin for next 4 to 5 years. in fact bitcoin is a potential currency and it has more chances for its price to increase. and specially if bitcoin price continue the present trend of increasing its price then may be after 4 or 5 years the price of bitcoin will be trading above 10000$ and at that time i am sure that it will give me a good profit.

yes sir! holding, saving and still buying bitcoin, good for investment good for future retirement! :D

Good for you that you are already found bitcoin and you believe in bitcoin as a good future retirement fund. As a bitcoin user, we should keep saving and buying bitcoin while we can get it for a cheap rate because after at least 5 years we can see a huge difference in the price and if we have patience enough then we can get a lot of money in that year.

Patience is what we really need to be successful in bitcoin plus being able to study the work and task to earn it so even we not buy we got the opportunity to save some. Your right after 5 years it would be a great chsnce to gain more even 2 to years.

Holding bitcoin Was really a good thing to do. And obviously, Almost all member or majority of the bitcoin enthusiast here in this industry are  dreaming to hold bitcoin in a long terms.

exactly almost all including me, But for know I am holding a lot in the altcoin because I think that coins have a future maybe it will double or triple the price of it so I think for now holding altcoin for a long time is the very efficient to invest too. But some of my money is in the bitcoin too.

It can be good to have some Altcoins too, but I think worth much more to hold Bitcoins, at least the biggest part of the money in BTCs. I keep at least 80% of my money in BTC and maximum 20% in Altcoins, usually less than that. Bitcoin potential is much bigger than any other Altcoin, as we are seeing, there isn't any other currency that made so nice progress like Bitcoin.

As long as you have patience in bitcoin then after a few years you were able to make fortune from it and not only holding bitcoin is the possible way to be a rich person because we can also do investments, trading and so much more because in bitcoin there is a lot of possibility for us to make a lot of money and it is just depending on our eagerness.

Yes Im holding on to my bitcoin,
But holding this bitcoin was very difficult not really, all you need is seriously very hard working and also patience :) because for me it uses knowledge you shoul think every questions gave. Bitcoin was important to me because it helps many peoply in different problems thats why im still holding on my bitcoin

Of course holding the bitcoin for a long term will have a good effect to us, So in my situation I am holding my bitcoin and then if I need it that is the time that I will only withdraw the specific amount. Because holding it for a long term will be a good profit.

I too am tightly hodling onto my bitcoin. I don't trust my ability to trade and am too scared of losing any of my precious coins if I tried my hand at predicting the tops and bottoms. I find it safer to accumulate by buying the dips and just hodling.

That was a good idea. Thanks for that. Now I can hold my bitcoin well so that in case of emergency I dont need to worry about money. Im going to do that. half for my need and half for my future so that my bitcoin will have a great purpose in my life.

Yes I was holding my bitcoin because I was expecting that in following days, months or years bitcoin will continue to increase its price in the market.

I'm too holding bitcoins for few years or more as we have seen it bitcoin is highly profitable currency than others so yeah holding on bitcoins currently is surely worth it.

Yeah surely tge mantra is to hold it for long and earb the royalty after few years. You can always withdraw butcoin into fiat currency and use it as and when required. It gives us immense pleasure when see our hard earned money multiplying by just keeping it in the cyberspace. :-)

Of course, I can not miss the opportunity to save coins and fly to the moon in a few years.

That's called smart business policy. Bitcoin is a currency that appeals to a variety of people from hugely differing reasons. In short, violating this price attract more and more investors. Cause we have believed this digital currency, good potential, that's why investors looking to hold Bitcoin long-term.

surely of course, I held it for a higher chance of winning and using it well and cautiously.

I have about 10 BTC value in my portfolio and I am currently holding 3.5 BTC (safely in my Trezor) and trading/holding altcoins (Waves, Stratus, Viacoin, Status, Ark, Ethereum, Litecoin) to gain more BTC. My goal is to have a portfolio worth 35 or more BTC and I think that will pay off well when BTC's price skyrockets.

It looks like after the price jumped in to a higher value many people have changed their mindsets and finally decided to keep and hold their bitcoins . Well that's really great, we all know that bitcoin has not yet on its maximum value and in the coming year it will continue on rising and hopefully holding our coins will give us a good results .

I am trying to store my coins as well since the price of Bitcoin is going up.

People are silly. You must always save never take out a loan and never be in debt. My parents taught me this since I was a child and it's great advice. So many people can't be patient. Their loss is my gain though so I'm not complaining I merely think people are silly creatures for the most part.

I too have noticed people change their toot. Like doh did it take that long to see Bitcoin and it's greatness ?  ::)

Because buying alts is so addicting to me I locked some btc by letting a rl friend to hold it with a deal that I am also earning 10% montly. Don't get me wrong, that friend is a whale so that 10% for him is fine as I am also confident I can earn in trade more than 10% a month. Some I invested on reliable crypto casino. But currently my shitcoins are giving me the best gains.

Holding bitcoin price is out of control.As the it is ranking day by day in a market and breaking records.So it is unstoppable to holding on to your bitcoin.Bitcoin is rising like a "Adam came to the earth" Bitcoin is increasing day by day which is hard to stop.Hard to hold.

At this point, I am trying to hold despite the temptation to sell with the level of erratic price we have witnessed in this pass few days but I have learnt my lessons in the last that when situations like this is being faced, then there is something big coming. In my early months of entering into bitcoin, I get to panic in situations like this that it becloud my judgement thereby doing so poorly but now, I am preoeared for whatever that happens long term or short term.

If you bought at above $2000 it might be a good idea to sell. You'd not only protect your investment, but have a chance to accumulate more if it breaks the support at $2000.
If your point of entry was much lower, like around $1000, I wouldn't risk it by keeping my money on an exchange and just hold it. Even if it goes crazy and the price falls some more, you won't be affected.

Yes it is a matter of fact I am too un-emotional now in holding my Bitcoins and other altcoins because I never traded them for a long time now, just hold and hold till it doubled and tripled the price because too much headache when you keep on trading them with the lows and highs of the volatility of the market.

no doubt i have also decided to hold my bitcoin. i even not sold my bitcoin when the price reach to 3000$ in previous days, so how can i sell my bitcoin in current position when the price of bitcoin is even trading below 2300$, and i am not a panic seller, i am a strong decision taker persona and once i decided to hold my bitcoin then i am not going to sell it in ally cost.  bu will wait for the price to raise more and even cross 5000$ and i am sure that it is not impossible it will certainly cross 5000$ very soon.

We know and we believe that the bitcoin price will increase it price even at this thay i guess it is profitable until today and we know about that but the only thing is it is already in a high price rate so we can buy a great volume without a big investment.

Yes I am holding my bitcoins at a moment as the price is on declining mode so if I sell them now then it will give me less profits so I will prefer to hold them till the end of the year and if price reaches to my satisfactory level then will prefer to sell some of my coins to grab some good profits and again wait for the price to fall to buy few more bitcoins.

Yes I am holding a bitcoin in a long term. I know also that I'm not the only person who doing this  things in this industry.
Aside from this things I also hold some altcoins in a short term too.

Yes I am holding onto my Bitcoin. Even though we are currently experiencing crypto bloodbath, I still have high hopes that Bitcoin and other crypto currencies will recover and will be stabilized again :)

I plan to hold my bitcoin once I have earned some.  The spent the last bitcoin I had since I need money for some minor house repair.  But now that , I planned to hold it and not to spend it for another 5 years.  I have a feeling that holding bitcoin will give me huge profit.

5 years is a good time frame for bitcoin to hold because its price is like having a lot of potential to pump more in the future so if we will just hold our bitcoin and keep it for at least 5 years then we can easily get rich because bitcoin has a lot of potential in the future because it is like the future currency of the world for the next decades.

Moved 50-50 to ETH which I in return drop into different ICO-s I find interesting. Medium and long (5 years) term only see it going UP UP UP!

I actually moved about 99% of my bitcoin to exchange for trading. Although the amount was not that big but still it was everything that I had. Though I've increased it somewhat in trading alts, I now realize it is a bad idea. So from now on, I am thinking of having the bigger percentage in holdings and only trade a small percentage of my total bitcoin.
And yes, I plan to hold for long and not selling unless selling 50% of my total bitcoin makes me a millionaire  ;D

Yes, I am holding on to my Bitcoin because the conversion into dollars is increasing almost every day. Even some of the people who loves to invests, hold their earning because they are waiting on the day that they can able to transfer their bitcoin to their wallets in a higher amount. It is possible with bitcoins so everyone is waiting.

I don't sell on exchanges because it is enough that the price of bitcoin is constantly growing myself. It is much more profitable than holding Fiat on Deposit. Trading is a risk, and I don't like to take risks.

If you don't take risks, you will not succeed, that is how you must think. Being a close minded will also make your fortune and luck to close down too, you.must really make a huge leap of faith before it is too late. Being a close minded is not bad, but it also closes some doors for some chances.

If you are earning good to meet your life requirements and can make an regular investment on bitcoin, then just hold on it. Even five years or more whichever seems to be a better chance of earning good amount of profit. That's really true that a five year holding from now will be making a lot change in the lIfe of people who have been holding bitcoin.

Risks pay off if you know how take take advantage of certain situations, or you'll just need to rely on luck.

I can definitely understand why people prefer hodling over investing and trading their precious coins. Seriously, look at how much the price has gone up ~ why would he need to take any further risks?

I have more respect to those that are firmly standing behind their actions, than those that constantly look to book profits by trading and investing, and go wrong in the long run.

There is no doubt that after 5 years the price of bitcoin will at least 3x of what is the price now and that is a great return from our investment because it is like an easy money because we will just invest in bitcoin regularly, i choose regularly so we can have a great average price buying rather than buying bitcoin it in one shot because there is a chance that it might go down and you will just lose money.

Sure the market will recover,but how much time will it take for things to be stable is the biggest question,sadly i am not holding any major amount of coins at this point as i have already invested my coins in some ICO and i will be purchasing some coins when the market stabilizes .

Yes, me too.  I do not want to take a risk.  That is why the only way I could have a bitcoin is on signature campaign.  I have always been afraid of taking some risk because I was scammed before.  Way back when bitcoin price is still low.  And yet I was able to put some good amount of bitcoin on that site.  From that time I do not want to take any risk.  I just keep my bitcoin in my wallet considering that it also grows.

Well, holding is one of the best strategy that you could do if you to make a good profit. In addition to that, yes I will hold my bitcoin until the price of it will increase. I think that the price of bitcoin will increase in the near future. Lastly; I would rather to hold my bitcoin than to sell it in the low price.

Well, I think holding is one the best way to make a good profit. In addition to that, I will hold my bitcoin and wait for the right time when the price of price of bitcoin is rapidly increasing. I hope in the near future the price of bitcoin will increase day by day so that I will gain more profit.

I am trying hard to make one Bitcoin and keep it in my saving account for the future pension plan. It is good to try to save some Bitcoin to put for pension and long term financial plans. Do not spend it all on Lamborginis.  :D I am too old for Lamborgini now anyway.

Indeed. I will hold my bitcoin for a long time because I know that I will earn more money and income. In addition to that, Holding is one the vest strategy that will help you to make a good profit. I think the price of bitcoin will increase in the future so that I will hold my bitcoin. Lastly, I would rather to hold my bitcoin for a long time than to sell it in a low price.

Yes Bitcoin is far beyond to its correct position. With 2MB update scaling will be matter of past. Main problem small transactions when the fees increased will bring natural balance to that. I also hold on BTC till 2025 and keep it as a gift to my children.

the best thing is to hold for now so i am holding my bitcoins as well as buying per month as i get my salary. and even trading with alcoins so sometimes i get profit i.e. more bitcoins., while sometimes there is loss.,
but i am holding majority of bitcoins ,

Look at the charts. If you decided to hold a couple days ago instead of selling at the dip, you now have more value in your hands and more value ultimately means more money. Anyway if you know how to trade it's far better than holding. You can buy more coins low and in the end hold more. If you add to it that Bitcoin is gaining value and will be worth much more than it is now it's profit on top of profit.

it is still not time to sell, you need to hold your bitcoin for some more time, because still a lot of potential is there in bitcoin price. i think so people have miss guided because of the the wrong prediction of bitcoin and therefore they are reluctant to hold their bitcoin. they want sell even in such a low price, but still there are people who are holding bitcoin so firmly and are not ready to sell their bitcoin in such situation and such people are in fact giving strong support to bitcoin, and therefore the is remain so stable for a long time. hope their strong decision will give the great reward.

No one really knows what will happen in the future since the prices of bitcoins are very erratic. But like you said, if you are going to look at the charts, there is really the potential of the price increasing over time. Holding bitcoins will yield you better results compared to selling it today and regret it later. I had a friend who had like 5 btcs 2 years ago and he patiently waited until last April on where the bitcoin prices skyrocketed up to ~3500$.

Many are still holding and keep waiting until the pump if bitcoin's price value. Although it takes time to happen, patience is a real virtue. Just keep on holding your bitcoin and you will get a sure feedback as soon bitcoin's price value pumps. But we cannot blame those who have already sell or selling their bitcoin because it is their way to earn extra money with a real gain or profit.

I think I will hold my bitcoin because i know that the price of bitcoin will increase day by day in the near future.In addition to that, many bitcoin users hold their bitcoin. Holding is one the best strategy that you can do if you want to make a good profit.Lastly, if you hold your bitcoin it will help you to gain more profit and money.

Yeah , this is the truth , many of the people including my friends are not selling Thier Bitcoin and holding for the future , because of the statement by the government of legal declaration  .
But in these days I am seeing that the down in the price clearly showing that how much the people ( mostly newbie ) are feeling dear to loss Bitcoin in the hardfork , but there is nothing to worry for us because everything in the Bitcoin is safe and everything is secuire .
So I think here with the better future we should buy more and more Bitcoin to make money because this is the usual for us that after the hardfork the price will surely increase very fast because of the big activity after the start of the network

I absolutely agree that holding is a good form of investment. In addition to that, holding is best strategy if you want to gain good profit. I will hold my bitcoin for a long time because I know that the price of bitcoin will increase in the near future. If you hold you bitcoin and sell it in the future you can become a millionaire.

I think that those who profit their profits in crypto-currency in large part are kept in bitcoins as saving, which in turn generates a significant income due to the constant growth of its rate. Alternative crypto currency is also suitable for these purposes, but it is subject to greater risk, because of its large number in each altcoin, it is necessary to understand well and be confident in its prospects.

Of course all altcoins is an alt so bitcoin is the best coin to hold compare to altcoins that only rise when bitcoin rise and only dumps when bitcoin only rise.

No, I am not holding on to my Bitcoins. I convert them into cash immidiately after getting it. But the reason for this is because I do not have that much net worth yet to gamble in an investment instrument like Bitcoin. I am just starting my career and would focus for now on saving before geting into investments such as Bitcoin. This is what I learned in basic finance. That when investing, you should consider it as gambling. The amount of investment you should put in should be the amount that you are capable to loose.

Yes, absolutely, though I currently own a very less amount of Bitcoins, I will definitely be holding on to what I have to see the possible price of BTC in the future. It is rising pretty fast in value, and at the rate by which value of BTC is increasing, I really don't see any case when there could be a net fall in the value of BTC, so best to hold now and use them a while later, when they will have a much greater value.

I keep my coins for the future and use them for my needs only as a last resort when there is no cash. Also for security, I invest in other coins and hold them. I am sure that in the future they will rise very high.

Normally I do not store bitcoins. If I get bitcoin I instantly exchange it into money and use it to buy daily necessities. But now I'm starting to think that if from the first time I save bitcoin maybe now I am a lot of money.

I think I will hold my bitcoin because i know that the price of bitcoin will increase day by day in the near future.In addition to that, many bitcoin users hold their bitcoin. Holding is one the best strategy that you can do if you want to make a good profit.

Bitcoin wallet can be of good help to access a bitcoin as it is very important to secure and back up of it.

Yes,bitcoin is an ever growing asset.It ha almost increased about four times of its previous value six months before.Bitcoin price was just $850 in december 2016 and now its price is $3302.So,it would not be a wise decision to sell bitcoins now.If bitcoin price increases in this same speed,then it might even cross $5000 by this year end.So,better hold it for a secured future.

bitcoin is for sure is a rising value. I hold a good amount of BTC earlier I made mistake by exchanging them to altcoins but they all failed. Now I stick on to bitcoin and will always be investing in it.

I do not think keeping bitcoin is easy. It can take anytime and be sure to invest in time to make a profit.

how are you changing your bitcoin to FIAT?

Personally, I am keeping my bitcoin other than essential emergiencies in the
past where I have had to FIATise some. I still have the majority I bought in January.

when the value drops I buy more  ;D

I am envy right now.  It seems like everyday is an emergency to me as I always need money.  My reason why I am here is because I need an extra income to sustain my daily needs unlike you who seems to have more money.  I also wanted to do the things you are doing.  Keeping bitcoin on my wallet would be an achievement to me as I always exchange my coins into fiat.
