Bitcoin Forum

I have a simpler mindset between "hold" and "sell". And I hypothesize that if you continue to keep your bitcoin, you can regain profit in the future, otherwise, if you sell it now, you will lose that money forever, no other opportunity .

I agree, we should be listening to those who are ahead of us for they know that these fluctuations right now are like a test of our patience in the crypto world. If you have iron balls and can wait even until like 5 years then it'd be worth it anyways. I will definitely HODL my bitcoin no matter what happens, because I believe in the saying "great things comes to those who wait."

Yes,but it would be great if we can predict a price crash,sell our bitcoins when they are high and buy low after the price colapses.We would be  HODL-ing bitcoins again and make some nice profits from the "bear" market.Anyway,only the best traders can predict a bear market.
The upcoming Segwit2x might be the best situation to make such profits(or the price will skyrocket)...

I had sold some of my bitcoins earlier but I have still some in my cold storage.

I will let those remaining bitcoins I've to be hold for better and will just hold it further more.

I'll wait until the price gets at $5,000 or $10,000 before selling it.

I'll not be touching my cold storage until $100k
Hodl to the brink of death...

Oh yeah!  ;D
Just keep on hodling on.  ;D

Another strikes up there telling he will be resting while bitcoin is crashing.
Guess what!?? You might also take off your head to the regret you will have if ever it goes up.
And I dont think you will buy again seeing how expensive it is after that rise.

No matter how many times you advice people to hodl their coins, they will do otherwise at the time the price tanks heavily ~ it has always been like that.

I don't think this necessarily is a bad thing as it will allow the smarter people in the market to benefit from the discount sales made possible by rookies.

I am not yet willing to enlarge my position (have enough coins already), but will definitely do so if the price ends up tanking deep under the $2000 mark in the coming weeks.

But how will you grow your Bitcoins if you only hold and don't invest or trade ???

Bitcoin gets dumped - HODLERS NOT AFFECTED

 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

You're really willing to sell your coins that cheap?!
Ooohhh ok. In 5-10 years you will probably regret it to have sold your coins for such ridiculous low price!
I will hodl and continue accumulating as much as possible.
Each bit counts! Each god damn bit!

That's right, we are bitcoin lovers, so we should not feel worried about what's going to happen in the future. We should keep bitcoin even if its value declines, because it can continue to grow in the future.

you did the most logical thing. it is stupid in my opinion to never sell anything the same way it is stupid to sell everything just because price dropped a small percentage!

you buy when things are calm and low then sell a small amount to celebrate your profit and then shut your eyes and ears to all the drama caused by small fluctuations in short term.

result: you will have a lot more money than those day traders trying to beat the market.

Unlike you, I'm not here and giving predictions, it is useless. I only perform by action. Instead of here and looking for ways to ask others, I'm buying a bit more bitcoin, I believe I can get more profit from it in the future.

In this trying times, traders took advantage of it. They see it as a perfect opportunity to get bitcoin because the price is currently down. And I don't feel worried at all because of the price crash. I will just hold and not to listen to people telling to sell on our bitcoin. I have hold on it for a time being and this dip won't make me doubt that the price can still recover in the next coming days.

Only newbies and wannabe traders are selling thinking that it will fall more which can gain them some profit. About alts there will always be a time when one can say to sell them but with bitcoin it always too early to buy and never late to sell. This problem will surely be solved after 1st august.

What does that mean? 'Grow' ?
I never know about it before,bitcoin is not a tree,a plant,an animal so it wont grow as you described before.everybody have their own method to get/earn bitcoin other than trade it.also,what does that mean 'do not invest' ? When they're holding it and keep it safe until someday or goal and the sell it for profit,what we called it ?

Indeed,for somepeople holding bitcoin is not a wise action because you can 'earn more' if you use it for trading.but if every people have the same thougt what will happen ? Doesn't that mean bitcoin prices will go sideways or even down ?
Everybody have their method and know what they do,just support bitcoin for the future.

Be like a cheerleader ayee ayee... !!!

The problem is that people don't understand how this market works, and even though they proceed with buying themselves some coins, and thus literally exposing themselves to the volatility, they still get shocked and sell as result. It's always funny to see that when the price goes up, there are noobs saying that they made x profit on y peak, but as soon as the price goes down, they completely change from "pro trader" to noob crying about the price that has gone down with 5-10%. It says a lot about the people participating here in this forum. It's all big talk with no actions to back it up....

Lol, you will use your money for waste if still hold Bitcoin when know it can breakdown to low price. Why not sell it and waiting good price to buy again and earning extra amount for holding long-term? I think it better than hold hold hold everytime

Aside from that normal scene, FUD are everywhere that's why some of the people did selling their coins. No doubt that the expected thing to happened on August 1 are mostly negative and that will include that bitcoin price will touched a price that is considered as low price.

Im aware that there is a possibility but I used to face this kind of risk since I entered crypto world. FUD are nothing to me, I will do hodling and see if I can get a reward after.

I am also Holding On For Dear Life  ;D . Anybody interested in how "HODL" was coined, enjoy : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0

I will definitely hold my bitcoins till the end of the year as everyone is hoping to see higher price at the end of the year so that would be the perfect time to sell my bitcoins and even now price has gone down so holding is the only option left for me and selling now would give me lower profits.

I don't have choice for now. Bitcoin is still not reaching my expectation when it comes pricing. Though I still believe that after this price decrease there will be some fueling and it will be ready to fly to the moon soon. I just need to be focus and let's all guys wait patiently. This is just a normal movement for bitcoins price, whales are cashing out.

Well holding is the only choice we have at a moment as selling now is not wise as it will affect our profits very badly and price may start recovering in coming days so we should wait for that patiently and sell only when we are in position of making higher profits.

Well what are your expectations? $10k per bitcoin? Bitcoin's still relatively young, give it some time to take off. :D Yeah, I'm hoping for the huge drop in pricing and then the skyrocketing, first time 4 years that I can invest some significant money in btc so hoping for that drop. :D

As of now I am holding my bitcoins as price is not the best to sell off my coins and will wait for the price to recover again as my goal is to sell some of them when price goes beyond $3k and rest I will sell when it achieves the price of $5k in near future and that is possible may in next year.

Even we want to sell we don't have choice and you are right, we don't have choice today. We have to be patient and just wait for the price of bitcoin to get up again. Just like what happened when 2017 is entering, after the price increase the price did went back at $800. That's why we need to be patient.

Seems the price keep rolling but current rate for now didn't go dip for its lowest level so there's nothing to get worried since surely we can see another pump would be happen maybe soon, but if your doubting to see the level of downfall now might better if we sold a little part of our coins so that we may have money to used and to eliminate the nervous feeling a little bit.

HODL TILL RETIREMENT  8)

HODLed till 2700$
sold and thinking about rebying at 2000$-2200$ and then HODL of course  ;D
it is important to not lose much while HODLing before August 1
so think it is better to stay in USD for now,sorry

Yes but don't forget to buy while it's still low.you never know one day you wakeup and see it already reached 3000$  ;D

But looks you will not sell your bitcoin until august has come for us. The price of bitcoin would be stable as far as i know, Those people are ready for the improvement of the bitcoin itself. There will no a lot of activities in the bitcoin market especially pump the price of bitcoin to go to the moon.

That's probably not a bad strategy. The gains I've made from trading are not that significant yet. Holding has it's benefits like security because you don't have to put bitcoins at risk by putting them on an exchange for trading. It also frees up all the time it takes to follow the price and make trades.

$2,250 is the lowest and it is possible to happen with this type of rolling the price is still always good. We don't have to worry at all everything is going to be fine soon. After the fork we may see the price to get up higher again, so we need only to observe the market. At this moment, everything is calm the market is green.

You sure about that $100k? You will be having a long journey until waiting for that time.

With the current price I had still enough for profit taking already and I won't be feeling sorry on it.

Will wait for sometime after these drama's are already done.

Its a long time need or more years before we can see that price.. since the segwit or splitting this coming august will be start that i think it can affect the  supply and demand of bitcoin...
our source will be increase and the the demand will be still the same but the price of bitcoin will slowly increase its not the same movement of the price from last few months after the block halving last year.
Maybe we will experience even the price of $5k value but not this year maybe this coming next block halving..

We see a lot of market speculators and other people predicting the price to reach $100K in the future. Well nothing is impossible to bitcoin, it has already proven that it can increase the price dramatically. But with $100K I don't know how long will it take the touch that price. It will probably took us another 5-10 years to get that price. So its better to really hold bitcoin for long term.

The price keeps getting yanked up and down so unpredictably that it's safest to HODL, and that's what I'm doing. I though it would crash at $2000, but it defied my expectations and continued climbing to $3000. After reading about people selling at $1800 in the hope of buying back in at $1000 I abandoned any thoughts of trading and decided to stick with HODLing. The market's just too unpredictable for me to risk trading.

it is just unpredictable right now though.
all these years we have had unpredictable times such as NOW. and they always go away and we can see clearly. many actually do stay away from the market at times like this and i think it is one of the reasons why volume drops a bit.
staying away and holding is probably the safest bet though. then after things become clear (like all the previous uncertain times) you can come back stronger and pick up the pieces.

Unpredictable as no one has actually can ever see the impending drop or rise will exactly occur and I think this coming August 1 we can never know how the price will be and we are heading to a dark times because of it but after that time past we can surely be amaze how can bitcoin adapt with the new core developers process with bitcoin, because in that times we surely need a safe wallet for our bitcoin.

I will also hold and keep myself away from the market for sometime.  We are very uncertain on the possible result of the Aug. 1 update.  Even if I see it as Bullish Bitcoin, manipulators will manipulate to ger more profit.  Depend on which side will win in manipulating Bitcoin price, we should stay calm and wait until all become stable.

It is true that now is better to hold and save Bitcoin because the price now is like riding unpredictable roller coaster, the price is so unpredictable and then the pricing downfall is also last for a long time, now it is better to buy and hold and wait for the August, I predicted that the price will get better after August

Ive waited since 2011
I can wait until 2031 or whenever....

That is very certain. It has been proven that holding for a long time (years) will give a huge ROI. Many have gained thousands and millions of dollars just by hodling Bitcoin for a very long time. I also gained more just by holding some Bitcoin for just several months, not much but the gain is there. Though because of the volatility the profit becomes less, but when the time comes, it will be a win.

It's just a words of attraction. When people are seeing speculators saying that bitcoin can go fly to the moon.

That will encourage people to invest in bitcoin because good news are being heard and published in articles online.

And everywhere people will say the same thing.

The media have a very big influence on people's opinions. This forum is read by many people and thanks to it readers have an opinion. Therefore it is very important to notice good news and not to sow panic in case of bad news. I'm ready to keep my coins a few more years, I believe in them.

Good job, holding bitcoin for future that is good way and I am also sure the price of bitcoin will hit 3k very soon, so holding bitcoin is now good job, and we all are needs to hold it for sunniest future and now buy more and more, and also not sell to it for low price because in coming after two or four months its price will goes starting to grow.

Maybe HOLD is a good option. But this time this is a different situation. We are near to face  a Hard/ soft fork for bitcoins and this is making things really unclear. Previously certain hacks of exchanges or news make the price down but we all know it will recover, but this time which bitcoin chain spit no one is sure what will be the outcome and effect on bitcoins due to this. Even all alts are facing downward trend.

HODLING seems our best solution and will still

Main point of importance is that when you aren't buying or selling at the time the market experiences volatility, you won't gain or lose anything. People should just discard their logic that when the price goes down, they lose. Volatility matters to those that are looking to ride the waves in order to benefit basically from each movement. If you're not a trader, then just relax and do something worthwhile with your time instead of worrying about the market....

I'm definitely holding. ;D

Yes, I too wonder why long term believers also start worrying about forks. Bitcoin has proved itself many times fro bouncing back from any level of lower prices and we can be sure this time too will come back more stronger to surprise us one more time. Only traders may need to act now and definitely not all the bitcoin adopters.

People start educating themselves about forks similar to hacking into famous exchanges. We never need to get panic for current situations of bitcoin ecosystem. Everything is going to be normal in real soon.

Now the price goes down and so few will agree to sell their coins. Those who panicked have already emerged from the bitcoin community. And there were only those who believe in bitcoin. If these people can keep bitcoin for a few more months, they will certainly get a big profit

We only need to be patient and keep on waiting for the price to reach another ATH.

The price isn't that good today and we can't do something about it but to wait for the right time and recover it's price.

Whatever happens, just HODL.

That's exactly what I am doing right now. I haven't done anything else since I started with buying my sub $300 coins back in 2015.

I have good fun reading through various threads how people are going nuts. It's like people have never experienced something like this, it's mind boggling.

At the time the price shoots up from $1000 earlier this year, to a peak of almost $3000, people are ok. If the price starts correcting itself, people act like the end is near.

Well, I agree to that the price of bitcoin will continue to grow in the near future. In addition to that, as of now many people hold their bitcoin because they know that the price of it will goes up and there is possibility that price of bitcoin will increase day by day in the near future. Holding bitcoin or any coin will help you to gain a lot of income.

There is also a possibility that the network will split and we will wait for the price recovery for several weeks or months. But I would not want this to happen. I still keep my coins and I'm ready to buy more

Not only the bitcoin but as a whole the cryptocurrencies are the most unpredictable of all the time. No one can say that any of the digital currency available in the market will be staying in a good manner and will not lose its price at any moment. There are strategies through which one can safe their investment by diversifying it. I have converted some into etherium, ripple, LTC and MTC.

I don’t know what is gonna happen in the future but I have hold my bitcoin and looking at the insane downfall of the price makes me to look at a quite terrible picture of the bitcoin future. I wish I should sell my coins when the price was $2990. Whether it was greed or a wish to earn more I didn’t sell them. Now the only choice that I have is to wait for august and may be the price get better after august.

yes the price of bitcoin is currently dropping but still  people are not welling to sell bitcoin. i am sure that with the passage of time the the confident of people will become more stronger and even those people who have already sold their bitcoin in panic selling will try to buy bitcoin again at  a low price but i think may be they do not even get the chance to purchase bitcoin in a low price.

Not a good option mate HOLD right now is the best option. There is nothing to worry about the split chain at all. All we need to do is to not to get our coins/ wallets online so that we get no effect of the split. Even if the split happens it will not be anything dangerous to the Bitcoin in fact it will do well to the Bitcoin, trust me.

It seems to me that the split will be dangerous for bitcoins. And that's why I do not want a split. Now a lot of different conversations about the events that may occur on August 1. I decided to just wait and see what would happen.

I am glad to know that I have mates just like me.
I have belief in the bitcoin and I think noting bad will happen to the bitcoin. Though the price is coming down every day but I think this is due to the panic sellers. Whatever happens to the price but it will rise again and will reach above $3000. People will again start buying the bitcoin because once you had the fun with bitcoin you can’t stop yourself to have that again.

its addicting especially when excitement is on, taking advantage of this previous downfall and collect more bitcoin gives investors chance to buy cheaper
coin coming from panic seller and this turned them to be a long holders than become a sorry mistake after, risk taker are the one that will benefits in
what happen till this day.

You must HODL for at least another few years, bitcoin is going to go meteoric. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Make sure you own as many bitcoin's as you can afford to, you won't regret it.

Thos who hold their bitcoin and did not panic when bitcoin drop to $1,700 must be smiling and those who panic sell at that time are crying. The weak hands and newbies should do their research and dig about the past of bitcoin this has been happening over and over but bitcoin always find its way to recover and fly to the moon.

In fact, many bitcoin users do holding because they know that the price of bitcoin will rise up and because of that they will earn a lot of income. In addition to that, holding bitcoin or any altcoin is an opportunity to become rich in the near future. Lastly, if you hold now there is a possibility that you could be a millionaire in the future.
