Some people says hodl is the best way to make big profit. I am not a good hodler. I just hodl genesis vision for 3 months and made 3x profit but the other I always sell in a week or 10 days. Anyone make serious profit from hodling 6-12 months ?

Of course they can. Cryptocurrencies can offer best return of investment if you know what are you doing or have luck in buying/trading.

On the flip side you risk losing everything you invested if project you were investing in fails.

no it is not a good way to hold a specific coin.. this is the mistake that i have done in the past when the marketcap was 800 bn.. it is old saying in japan "money makes money'' so keep money in circulation just don't be so much greedy.. make 3-4% profit on your trade daily..

Lol 3 times. Always buy early and hold. In 12 months I was up 175 times. And that is still nothing. I got another year or so of holding till Ardor gets me to 600 times or more.

In 2017 holding was more profitable than Trading as many people has make good money from holding in 2017. I see that many people that has make money through cryptocurrency, make it through holding. A friend of mine that buy bitcoin in 2017 February has make good profit when he sell in December.

Before asking such a question, think, the market always has one who buys, and one who sells. This means that there are cases when someone buys on the low and is sold in the high. This is serious profit.
I became an investor only at the end of last year (~4 months). I saw a good profit, then a loss, now rise again).

HODL is not just 6-12 months old, HODL is a long-term investment, maybe over the next 2-5 years. then you can enjoy the results. but if you can only hold 10 days. I suggest, start you learn trading with a small profit but continues, it will be more profitable than you hold in the period of 6-12 months

It depends on what you are holding coins or it is going to shit coins, I just encountered also last year when I was holding a coin firstly was having a high value but later on going to shit. Well, holding for that months if that coin is fully developed it is probably profitable but we all know cryptos are unpredictable.

I have never hold for that long so I can't really tell of it's profitable but it's not a matter of hiw long, it's a matter Of The market value as at when you when you want to sell

Depending on wether that crypto will tell you that you can earn profits within 6-12 months. You can do what you want if your crypto really will have a huge impact in the future. But what if that does not happen and the time has come to improve its value but as you want a big profits in the the future, this opportunity is neglected. For me, i hope to be more sure that while waiting for my expectation to happen then i will not have to rely on if it will happen.

As I am a beginner in this case, all coins and tokens earned by me I postponing for a long-term outlook. As in places it isn't sure that correctly I will dispose of them.

I can't give you any sound advice on this one.  If I held what I had in 2015, I'd be a millionnaire (XEM ICO investor, for starters  :o ::))  If I sold what I held from last summer in january, I'd be x3 richer than I am today.  Sometimes you hodl, sometimes you don't.  Who's to say?  ;D  For now: I think it's best to hold your ground since the cryptomarket is still raher low. 

If the project has failed from that days,you should sell to avoid the dumping of most of the people because nowadays investors are too sentive with the project development if the project has failed to do what they have planned to do,for example aplha testing they have failed to do what they want to achieved the value of the coin will surely get dumped.

There are new ICOs that are giving you a good profit from holding it, all you have to do to find them is to look their road map on how good their teams are and what is their target for their project. Mostly of their token was good for holding in a long term but some of them are just dumping right away so it really depends on the price that you want when you are ready to sell it.

I'm in a similar boat, I bought 500K of Burst coin when it was 70-80 sats and BTC was around 4-5K, and it went up to 500 sats in December when BTC was 16K, but guess who only had 15K Burst coin at that point?  ::)

no i have yet to make some serious money with my current long term holding, i have missed a great opportunity but now wait for another one. most of coins in my portfolio are for long term hodling, i will only take some profits when they are x10 or higher and reinvest again.

Almost any person holding from at least since August-September 2017 will tell you that he had huge profit by just holding coins. I came into crypto with very small amount to invest, but I have few friends who  made huge profit and still holding even on current market. Holding is definitely one of the ways to get profit in crypto. The question here is what to hold. This is were you need to pay attention. With new coins coming everyday not all of them are good to hold 12 months. But if you chose good then 12 month from now you can be reach

Unfortunately, I can not brag about my real profits. but my brother who has been dealing with crypto currency for a very long time, he has a profit of 500 times.

You don't have to know if you are a good holder or not. If you basically hold and you do not move your coins, you're good at it.

You have earned 3x on it within 3 months and that's enough for you to say if a coin is profitable, you should get out it while it.
And a coin like this which is I'm not familiar with, the future of it depends on how big the market cap and on how big the volume is there until 6-12 months.

I am new in cryptoworld, but i hope that i will have high profit in 6-12 months

You shouldn't base your investments on the duration of your hodling.  It really depends if you got lucky and purchased at the bottom or at the top during that time.  Those who bought cryptocurrencies in December 2017 are still hodling because they are still at a loss.  It may take a few more months to break even or possibly longer.  Those who have bought in the last couple of month may be in serious profit shortly.   

I do not have such a long experience of investing and HODLing coins, but I think that such a tactic makes sense only if the project develops and the general state of the market is on the rise for a long time.

Maybe the holding strategy came from bitcoin because, people who held it for some time while it was on the rise they were able to make a huge amount of profit, although the results may not be similar to what you will get with holding altcoins but you can definitely make some out of them that is if you make the right choice, altcoins are much cheaper which means not only they are accessible for people who can't afford to invest 10k into bitcoin, but also if you have a good cap you can buy a lot of them making profiting from them even better.

Just count how much could you earn from hodling since last April till now - 12 months:)Quite nice isn`t it?
Long term investing in technological product is the best way always anyway.So make the right choice!)

Those are not holders,they are just swing/weekly traders i presume,because if they are holders they wont be checkin the market from time to time.Because real holders are going to forget what they have invested in,as you can see the less checking that you do the less stress that you will get when the market has started to fail you are just relaxing because you are a long term investor.

For me holding coin for six or twelve months does not mean the person is a holder, at least i hold coin for a very long time and it always bring profit at the end...

Hodling for 6 or more months could be good because some cryptos have the ability to give its return on investment. There are projects that has a weak foundation that their price dumped so much for 6 months long.

Long hold is gambling because the lack of trust in the cryptoworld; It's a gambling investment in an environment where there is no garantees. I think daily profit is more legitime at the point of keeping supply always in circulation. I won't be in long term investement expect investing in my own project.

Some got more profit buy holding their tokens for 6 to 12 months. But for me, I will sell them if I got gained doubled / tripled or even more of my capital in specific token. Like what I doing now for Ethereum, I'm just waiting to get doubled or tripled my capital before I sell them. So, basically, maybe I will reach 6 - 12 months or more than and maybe before 6 months, I could sell them. Depends on my profit. Will my action do.

Of course there were such cases when after holding a coin in a few months people received profits 2 or 4 times more than what they received earlier, so it really works, you just need to have a lot of patience and everything will turn out, do not think that they You will need it in the near future.

It really depends on the market. But based on my experience, yes. I did get huge my profits for hodling 8months. I used to do day trade but i was advised fees will eat up my profits with day trade. So i tried long and i just let my coin sit there and forget it evwr existed for 8 months, next time i checked, its value rose to my surprise.

I made good profit this way once. I bought litecoin when it was worth $20 and then sold when it was worth $300. That was about 7 months of holding and extremely profitable. Well, it would've been if I spent more money on this investment. It was an experimental one and I bought only 1 litecoin... Anyway, long-term holding is a good and working strategy. I bet those who join the market now will have good profits in less than a year as well, even though the prices generally look up in comparison to what we had, say, at the beginning of 2017.

HOLDERs are commonly buying when the market has crashed,and holding it for months ,minimum would be 6months and below that timeframe would be considered as a short term investments,it is really depends on the project if it has potentials to grow you are going to make a lot of money but when the coin you are holding isnt for long terms you are only wasting your time.

More than less amount of are holding crypto currency for a long time it is not very easy thing to hold for a long time many people withdraw so quickly but if you hold a long years it will definitely gives you a good profit .

No, It was even shorter than you think dude. I made almost 25x from my first initial investment through zilliqa, and that needs only a month to do that. I made 9x on credits nearly a month again.
I try to sell them if I was getting enormous profit the majority of my altcoin for medium investment and no more than three months. I bought more than hundred ether a few weeks ago, and this time it gives me almost 50% return.

Holding your coins at a longer period could at least stretched it's value later rather than selling it right away even for just a 10% increased. I think you need to consider coins that are doing good performance in the crypto market that is worth for the holding. In my case , I had just started buying alts recently and I am still holding it for almost 2 weeks from the time I bought alts and planning to extend further.

No. I have been holding ETH and I am losing profit.

it depends on the coins you buy. Before anything else try to make a research on the coins you are going to buy. Study the market and find any reviews and reviews about the coin. Evaluate the team members and its core group if they are trusted. Then join their social media channel like telegram, facebook and twitter to see if there are active members in their community, if all thecertain criteria are met then its time to buy and feel the confidence that it will grow for a period of 6 months or more,not all coins are profitable in a period of 6-months it is just a matter or wise decision and luck.

Yes I do, I ever bought eth when the price was only 12$ and  I sold it when it reached 50$, crypto is booming so we got a lot of good coins for long term investment, and eth is not my only success story with long term, I got profit from etc, dash and of course btc, long term investment is more suitable for me, so I dont need to be frustrated by the every day price changes

in getting profits in the trade depends on the owner. if they are observant and good at seeing price movements at any time then it does not have to wait until 12 months to earn a profit. and remember all altcoins have different values and change at all times. to hold long-term bitcoin is the right place.

Holding a good coin will always make you huge profit you can never imagine. Holders always enjoy big profits and holding for one year it will even give you more profit you could imagine then holding for weeks or few months. Holding is good but it depends on coin.

If you had been holding cryptocurrencies for 12 months and had made right decisions during that time it is all right. Prices has grown immensely. But telling the truth they failed significantly after.

No. I have been holding ETH and I am losing profit.

Hodling increase the chance of catching bull market. If someone was not but at the ATH, he/she certainly make a profit for hodling.

just holding coins doesnt mean that you are guaranteed to make a profit, you have to keep an eye on it, even if you hold a coin with how many months, as long as you missed the chance to sell on its peak, you are not gonna have any profit.

Very few people can hold 6-12 months. They are often psychologically when the coin goes up or down. That psychology can make them sell their pennies. if they can hold in that time. They can make a lot of profit maybe x2 or x3

Anyone who has being holding, starting from last 6-12 months has already made a huge amount of profit. Even if the price the price took a 45% dip, they are still at profit since the price was way lower 12 months ago. Holding for 3 months and making 3x profit is not actually bad. Follow your own intuition, might help you a lot.

I held Antshares ($ANS) which is now ($NEO). Bought it under a $ and it crossed $100, the time span was around 11 months.
I guess this is enough information for your question.   ;)

This is so true on many levels. Before, when I was into trading, I kept making bad decisions which continues further because of me being impatient. So, I did try other methods and move on to Plan B, which is holding. I started with alts that has low price believing that its value will sky rocket as days goes by. It feels so good when I see those green arrows when I am monitoring my portfolio daily. My biggest mistake in holding is not setting up a target range to determine when to exit those coins that I hold. In the end, instead of gaining BTCs that can be worth thousand of dollars (from a hundred starting investment), I only gain a couple of bucks which I fully regret up to this day.

Of course we did just look at last year if you were hodling pretty much any coin you could see it going x20,it really didnt made any difference because everything was pumped.Now this might work only if you buy in on the projects that looks promising and that are still in the early stages of development so the price is low enough

Of course we have so many success stories, just holding cryptocurrency long enough to realize their profit, in fact, those holding for over a year are those who made a lot of profit we can see on those litecoin ethereum and other coins who holds for over a year.

I'm not sure if holding bitcoins for this long period can really gives us big profit, I am doing this kind of thing since december last year and until now i am not benefiting from it because the price of a bitcoin is still in down period, so I don't know if my coins will going to rise in the coming months or not.

no it is not a good way to hold a specific coin.. this is the mistake that i have done in the past when the marketcap was 800 bn.. it is old saying in japan "money makes money'' so keep money in circulation just don't be so much greedy.. make 3-4% profit on your trade daily.

Judge for yourself, all promising projects that have been added to the stock exchanges after the ICO and are developing according to the road map, are becoming more expensive. We are well aware that a couple of times a year, the market shows off and sets new records. This is a great time to profitably sell your tokens. I believe that it is necessary to wait when the market is at its peak and sell parts, especially if the project is promising.

Yes. Just look aty the price charts for any coin, and you'll see what the prices were this time last year.
For most of the top coins, if you've been holding for a year you have a huge profit. As for new coins - when to sell depends on how good you think the project is, and whether there are better opportunities elsewhere.

If you are a trader, and a good trader, then it makes sense to constantly move between coins.
If you are not a great trader or just want to hold, then pick your coins carefully to make sure that you only have the best, highest potential projects... and then wait to see the price rise. Bitcoin, ETH, XRP, all of the top coins are much higher than they were 12 months ago.

Of course for hodling in 6-12 months you will earn more profit, your lucky that you hold an altcoin that you earned x3 profit, what if you hold for 1 year maybe you will earn x10 profit, but you should carefully what your buying altcoins because some were not increasing if you hold for long time.

I have a friend who has made a lot of profit from Nano coins. Previously, the Nano released a free coin for everyone. My friend has over 500k coins and holds until its price is $ 34.12. The time is 7 months for the holding and my friend has become a millionaire. Long-term holding would be a very good strategy if we applied the right currency.

It would be advantageous if you keep it so high that it gives you a lot of benefits in a few months as well, but does not continue to make a profit because everyone has obstacles, I've earned a few percent profit every month. So any profit can be invested in doubling the income that is good enough for the future, the best way now is to keep it going will not take long to show a big improvement.

If you use such a strategy, then you are unlikely to start earning money from long-term investment.
Here everyone has his own  :D

All profits was in December 2017, than market start falling, and still now not recover, many people loosing the most of their money also profits

The biggest profits were from those who sold in December 2017. I would not have considered this in terms of keeping 6 months. It's more logical to say - to keep tokens as much longer as the market will greatly grow. And yes, it is more profitable and psychologically less tiring than day trading.

well it all depend on the ICO. I remeber last year I made around 5x on Aion token. the project was really great and that was when the token went around $10 although the price is now very down just $3 now. the same thing went ok for hedge token I made just 3x almost 3 months after the end of the crowdsales and listing. this year things are not going well with altcoin. I hope some token I have kept in my wallet for past 6 month appreciate to opposite has been the case.

Yes, beyond any doubt. However, there is a direct dependence on the quality of the project/coin and earnings. If this is a failed project and a bad investment, then even in a year it will not bring you money. To keep this long is relevant only for good and promising projects.

Well try to see into list of ico project ROI and you will know how much majority of ICO investor make just by hodling sometimes there's a coin that could increase thousands percent of initial price and it's such a big profit considering that many investors are putting big money into it.
But I think that your question "serious profit" is just a lil bit irrelevant, it's not about hodling that make you earn profit but about selecting a good project.

Yes i did i bought ethereum while price was 300$ then after its reached 1500$ even some other coins like Coss reached 2$ by holding it was tradign fro 0.20 $ . Still  lots of coins i got profit on previous pump . Now holding lots of coins bought lots like TRX, EOS , NEO, ADA in last dump still i am holding will keep that till this year end . EOS and TRX mainet has to be launched so instead of investing short term read news and invest after atleast 6 months you will make good profit . Now IOST is another good investment in this bearish market.

Many people have, maybe not during this past few months because of the huge fall.

But generally depends on the amount invested, people who have a lot to spend make a lot, so. :)

Yeah its very possible. But which coin to invest in that will give such mad profits, no one knows. Just keep researching and make sure you purchase coins that have viable use case.

Yeah, definitely depends on the coin you'll hold and what you perceive in the project and you'll realize holding is the real thing and your prospect month with profit is just within reach. Also, do keep buying in dips and not in peak, just trust the graph and your guts even it's hard.

I think hodl is much better than to sell each few days, because first of all it takes less time and second most important is less nerves.

Not all who holds 6-12months gain big profit because its still depends to the coin that you will going to hold. Also, you need to invest big capital in order for you gain big because 6-12months is a little long time for me to do trading.

the most popular coin for HOLD is bitcoin. I held it for more than 1 year and made a profit. also kept Ethereum. with other coins on harder, because they grow much and they need to sell. HODL makes sense of either the top coins or the most unknown coins.

I earn more profit by holding for long term. Some of my best performed coins increased by 100x to 500x around 9 months. Of course, we have to research for good coins for investment.

I have for 6 months my assets have gone into negative so I'll have to wait some more time.You just need to choose projects well, then the profit will necessarily be

I was lucky enough to make money on NEO, but this was last year when the course of this coin grew rapidly. I think that it was more luck than a well-thought-out decision to buy it NEO.

Yes, I myself have experienced it. For about 6 months I held off a lot of Altcoin. But not all coins are experiencing price increases. There are only 2-3 Altcoin from 10 Altcoin that experience price increases. And it all goes back to the Developer and the coin project. And in fact, only coins with good projects are experiencing a high price increase in that time.

Well yes..like the the best quality you can have is patience, especially if you are trading.Now, this depends on the altcoin ,too..how stable it is, an d you have to have a little luck, like to increase exactly at the perfect time for you to sell.But yeah, in final you can earn a lot.

For sure, in the bull market of summer 2017, if you didn't make at least 3x profit on your holdings, you were doing something very wrong (like holding absolute shitcoins).

I believe that long-term investment is not as profitable as the earning strategy in the crypt. I held 8 months 2 coins and I have gain no profit at all.

If you had been hodling Ethereum you would have made a substantial return. 6 months ago it was trading at $300 and 12 months ago it was under $100.

I managed to earn on IOTA and Stellar, but these were insignificant profits since I too quickly withdrew the money and then regretted it very much.

well, if you are going to hold it for that period of time, I know that it will be successful! it's a matter of patience only, it's because some people are sometimes been overcome by their emotions when they have seen that the market is going down, they sell it immediately which is not a smart move. but holding it for that kind of period it will be great

In general, holding is an appropriate way to make an acceptable profit, but without risk, and in my opinion, in the field of cryptocurrencies, the risk is very essential to make a lot of money, but there must be choices that are not hasty and deal with any new situation (intelligent and appropriately) and even the strategies are very important.

On the other hand, the best time to HODL when there is a widespread crisis in whole market ( like, what happened in the  last period, when Bitcoin fell to $ 7000 ), and then it is certain that after 6-12 months, the profit will be large and unexpected. So right  timing or  opportunity is the most important thing when you want to Hold also you must have a futuristic vision and you can learn it  through many experiences .

by way of example (I am also invested).

Commerceblock $CBT. I have held this token throughout bull and bear markets. Over the past month the coin has grown 112%.

Less than a month ago the price went to 2 cent. I went in with 80% of my portfolio. The price is now 8 cent, the reason for this is the its a low cap, not many people have heard about this project not to mention the teams activity on github and they are on time to deliver against their roadmap.

I would take a look at www.commerceblock.com (http://www.commerceblock.com) with some serious consideration!!

Some stats: http://hodlz.com/

to those people i say they have never seen an altcoin's chart where it is getting pumped and dumped before.

more like i make more serious profit in 6-12 hours :D
the trick is to invest in these altcoins when they are getting pumped not months before they even show any signs of pumping. bag holding an altcoin will never make you any decent profit. specially since there are thousands of them available to you which get pumped every day.

I mostly do day trading, but one day I bought Ripple, who was lying on my wallet for about 2 years, by that time I earned a serious amount on it.

I have got my good profit just for holding 8 months,but ofcourse its the different story because what im talking is the situation last december when the highest price attained by this cryptocoin..this scenario happens in pump so we cant really predict if this will happen again this year,though as the past indicates yearly bitcoin grows and grows

What does serious profit mean to you? x100? Or x3? Or x1.05 like in a bank? I think that you already have experience in getting income from the fact that you held coins. Nothing prevents you to look at the annual charts of other coins to estimate the size of the earnings.

Yeah and you don't have to even look far. Take for example btc. If you've hodl'd btc from last year same time, imagine how much your profit is today. And imagine how it'll be a few years from now. More people who've held for 6-12 have profited largely than lost

definitely depends on the coin you'll hold and what you perceive in the project and you'll realize holding is the real thing and your prospect month with profit is just within reach. Also, do keep buying in dips and not in peak, just trust the graph and your guts even it's hard.

I agree with you, aspiration and progress always give a positive
result, if you are stretching before him and trying to be successful.

If there is a growth prospect for any coin, then of course it will be held for maximum profit, and if not, then it will be sold at the earliest opportunity.

It all depends on the coin and its growth prospects. There are many in your portfolio, and the profit in a year can be also decent. But we need to take into account market fluctuations. The market cannot keep growing. There is growth, then decay, growth, and decline again. And a year later, you can return to the same level in which the purchase was made. Therefore, you need to monitor the market, and sell after 2-3 times of growth, and after the correction to buy a coin again

i mean you can just look at the charts and figure that answer for yourself my friend

The thing with most of these coins or tokens is that as long as you keep holding them over the years, they would have added a lot in percentage better than where they started from. Still, it is always an advantage for traders who make use of the fluctuations to increase what they are holding as this is the only way one can easily benefit hugely in the long run as you keep accumulating for the future.

Unless you just want to steady growth without bothering much about the market then you can keep holding for as long as you want. But, it is very much necessary that you have chosen a well established coin. Simply holding any coin will not bring the desired results.

In 2017 holding was more gainful than Trading the same number of individuals has earn substantial sums of money from holding in 2017. I see that numerous individuals that has profit through cryptographic money, endure holding. A companion of mine that purchase bitcoin in 2017 February has make great benefit when he offer in december

I know such people, but, unfortunately, not personally, and I just take the floor for it, because I believe that in this area of ​​activity reputation is the main value, because without it people will not follow you, and you do not have the people you can handle.

there is high risk personally to hold for more 4 months. But if you can no problem. I rather flip n invest in other projects to boost my profit. But if you are comfortable with the project n the RoadMap is being followed... Then it's a good deal

I'm not yet... my maximum profit is around x3 with 3 months of holding. I never hold big time for 6-12 months. But I personally know some of my friends made a huge profit by 1yr-2yr hold. As my memory, it was around x20. Yes, Holding is the best way to make a big profit if you hold coins from a good & active project. If wasn't you will lose your investment.

One thing is never to be too quick to remove from an alt unless the price is too good to be true or you know what you are doing. There is one thing most investors always do as long as they are holding for the long term, and that is to buy the dips or accumulation period and sell into FOMO. As long as you are doing this and you are not greedy, even though we cannot always time the market, one would never make a bad call in investment decision or holding for periods like this.

That is even a long time to be holding without experiencing some profit. I have always noticed that most altcoins anyway, always tend to do well twice in a year in terms of FOMO and that is all that I need for the time of holding and as long as I have never gotten greedy at any point in knowing when to sell and when to buy back into the market, I have always made the best decision in getting shitload of profit.

Timing is the best partner when HODLing, no matter how much you invest, or how long you wanted to HODL. If you hit the wrong time you won't gain profit even that that long. However, the truth was, how can you surely hit the right timing.

I often hold more than 6 - 12 months. but depends on the growth of the altcoin itself. in the concept of investment, you must know in advance the benefits of crypto you have. of course you should always look for new information and moreover have other plans to anticipate every possibility.

Maybe it is not completely predictable. all of this depends on the State of the market the time too. lucky if since the 12-month price rise high. But if getting down to bad results thus obtained. holding sometimes indeed produce, however, the risk faced is also great.

Yes. In this industry, as long as you can seize the opportunity, you can earn huge profits in a short period of time. This is also the charm of Bitcoin. I think most investors have joined the industry because of huge profits in this industry. In this industry.

It depends on the coins. I myself also make hodl for some months of some certain altcoins that I have. So far, it looks good and profitable. But, the patient is the key to this term. I have gained more than 4x profits after holding for some months and it is very promising. Hopefully, it will rise again for some months later.

i hodl almost 2months but for me its hard to hold very long because im just a student i only use buy and sell to have foods.
but if you have lot of money you can do that long hodl because it is very profitable.

It all depends on the coins that you hold, and at what stage the market is. Long holding can not ensure the growth of the coin, but I do not rush to sell my tokens.

Some will work, some will not. It depends on what coin or token that you are holding. If their roadmap is great or there is an event where something gets interesting in their part like partnerships or so, it would be worth to hold in the long run. I am holding TRX for at least a year. I am still at a loss though, but I believe it will make a bull run once again within the second half of 2018.

I will go for long term holding in good coins like 8-10 months because we can get more profit like 3-4x in this period. As the time goes the coin will achieve there target and demand will increase of the coin. And you can check the chart of any coin and you will realise that long term is the best way to earn more.

If we hold altcoin it is better to hold for a few months. But if we hold altcoins for too long like 6-12 months they are very risky and maybe we will not benefit from the arrests we have made against the altcoin. Holding 6-12 months is the same as we are investing in the long term and I think the coins worthy of long-term investments are only the coins whose rank is in the top 10 positions.

Still, new altcoyins, only released on the stock exchange after ISO, can give a decent income. For 6-12 months, some grow 10 or more times.

It depends on the coin you are holding, look at the project roadmap & keep following with the team on telegram regarding project updates. Some ICO also does send update emails to the investor regarding their progress on the project, so you should signup for the newsletter on their website to remain updated. Once the product is fully built as per their roadmap then, of course, the price of the token will rise, holding time depends on their length of the roadmap. So it is not necessary that holding for 6-12 months will give you enormous profits but can be, some can also give you good profits in 3 months. some ICO might take  2-3 years for the project to get a stand-in market which is quite normal. Considering it HODL is a good choice.

I agree with your opinion, I usually do that always see they roadmap project first, how dev responsive support and how the first pre sale and main sale process, and how care they comunity, is a reason to be how much profit you will get from holding a ICO for long time

I got a great profit from the holding . The most successful asset was XVG . Now I have purchased 7 coins on hold, I think I will sell only in a year

Personally I've made x6 profit for last 12 months just holding some coins. So holding is good strategy because criptocurrency market enlarges every year

What are those four yellow circles under your username?

I am mostly making profits after holding for that much long duration only! As long as I cant get 5-10X of the initial value I dont see that as profit taking. But to get such high paybacks we need to wait for more than 6 months and some times a year is insufficient too. So holding is like priority thing if you want to get huge amounts of profits in single shot. Otherwise in 10 days or something (like the way you do) is nothing but dust that comes out of the artificial pumps and dumps. Its better get bigger lots of profits by waiting little extra.

me and many other people can vouch that hodling for long term gives you better result. Is it always the case? that depends on which altcoin you're hodling but if you're hodling something that has long term plan then yes it can profitable. Bitcoin is always a good one to hodl for long term but there are other alts as well.

I am very sorry that did not hold the coins and tried to sell them! Afraid to lose another increase of 100% of some coins! But then when I looked at the price of coins that I once bought, I realized that it would be better if I just kept them! Now I have chosen perspective coins in my portfolio and just keep, and part of the capital I trade on bitMEX

if a person is smart enough and know what they are doing with their crypto investment
they are better of trading and making more with that
but for people who didnt had a good experience in trading cryptos in the past
is well off holding for a long term

Firstly I will say the market value at the time will determine how long to hold,  an investor might not have to hold that long to make good profit. 
Personally I'm just a beginner in crypto so I can't tell if I can hold for as long as 6-12 months or more

Of course. I have tried also doing that at it gave me a lot of profit by just waiting it out and not doing anything with it until that day comes.

It is perfectly correct! but many people are accustomed to continuous buying and selling, buying and selling. This can indeed obtain a small amount of short-term benefits, but in the end they will find that they do not earn those who can hold on for long-term holdings.

I used to invest in long-term investment, that is why I hold every coin I have for about more than a year. I didn't experience to have a huge profit for about 6 to 12mos, but in my experience, I bought BTC on 2015 and that was really cheap for about more or less 250$ which I hold it for more than 2yrs and sold it for 18,000$. That was the highlight of my life when BTC hit up to more than 18,000$, of course, I doubted BTC for several times and I almost lost faith on it but I really believe on BTC that time and that's the only chance I have in order to help my family. I never lose hope and I stands with BTC until one day, it chang

Those who bought cryptocurrencies in December 2017 are still hodling because they are still at a loss.  It may take a few more months to break even or possibly longer.  Those who have bought in the last couple of month may be in serious profit shortly.   

I haven't hodl up for 1 year, but if for 6 months I think it's pretty good. Actually as we know, it's not depends on the time but it most of hype, quality of the product and  momentum that attract more investors.

Of course there are such people and there are a lot of them, but unfortunately or vice versa to some people's schizophrenia, it is not accepted at the forum to write about who earned how much, so today many people simply do not talk about it, although there were good days for people

Yes, I'm on ETH got a good profit. last year I invested in ETH and this year sold. within 6 months received a two-fold profit

just like me, I never hold token for more than 1 year because I have a bad experience on it. I can hold token for up to 6 months at most.
and I think that's enough for tokens to grow to their highest price. but usually I sell tokens only after the price is above the ICO price

At the moment, I hold the coin for 3 months and got 4 times more, and some coins have a much better performance.

Also, I always believe holding with some level of wisdom is way much better and in that case whenever there is an unnecessary FOMO one should always know when to call it a day for such investment and look for better position to buy back in the future. The market always have one behavior, it is more like money interchanging in between bitcoin into altcoin and into fiat as long as traders are going to keep making huge profits from all these.

Of course people are making serious profits by doing just that. Just look at any chart, if you buy at the right time, you can easily double or triple your investment.
Litecoin is a prime example, end of March 2017 they were trading at 4 dollars. If you had bought then and sold just 9 months later, you would have gotten a whopping 150 dollars per Litecoin.

Plus, it's far less risky than just day-trading! You just gotta have the patience to hold onto your coins.

First of all you need to make a plan before investing in anything, generally speaking. If you know that you won`t hold the coin a big period of time, than make your choice based on that. Personally, I`ve made profit from medium-term investments, yes.

That time period is more effective for a profit because it's easier to predict the price. Actually I think it does not have to be on time 1 year to get profit, the time is only in use as a reference because although not one year and the price has reached the target we expect maybe we will stop at the target.

Yes, I did not badly earn a ripple in two years, but could have much more if I sold it in the winter. I hope its price will return to $2.

yes you can make a serious profit from holding that long, there can be a lot of growth on the price of the altcoin for 6-12 months, with that long time holding, you can actually have the opportunity to sell at a higher price.

Invest In ICO are more profitable than trading. And you right, it can make profit very big. But it bit risky for Coin to be shitcoin. So don't too long hold your coin.

Are you some kind of genie who can predict the future values of cryptocurrencies? Your prediction may be wrong since nobody can accurately predict the value of a particular coin or token in this crypto market at any point of time. They can speculate at best based on research. HODLING is obviously an effective strategy sometimes, but it fails sometimes since selling at the right moment matters more in this aspect. I prefer HODLING when compared to short term trading since there is less stress involved with HODLING and I generally earned greater profits through this method in the long run.

The situation depends on the specific coin and the prospects for its growth in the future. It is necessary to be guided by market fluctuations. He periodically undergoes falls and growth, there is a correction.

There are so.many ICOs now, so it is possible to invest in 20/projects and still fail in all if not well researched. If you hold such coins in more than 2 years one may not gain any profit. Some coin never got on.any exchange in 1 year. Some coins move from top 10 to above 1500. It is not.as easy trade but do due diligence

Ask that to those people who had held their Bitcoins or Ethereum couple of years ago. Of course you can make great profit from holding them. Assuming you are holding the right kind of coin or token. Only few coin or token are worth to hold. And considering which to hold or dump is crucial here in order to protect your profit. I dare you to hold as much Ethereum as you can for 6 months then magic happens.

Yes, especially last year if you hold your token you could see every token going  x10,imarket is really good  because every coin is rising pretty well then.

I have not been if in 6 - 12 months.
But I only experienced it in 5 months (starting from late december 2017), I almost got profits more than 30 times by holding but i didn't want to sell it until now because this coin is promising and worthy to hold until 1 - 2 years.

When you invest in a coin make sure you are investing a coin that has a potential and try to hold that for a year so in order to gain more profits.

Yeah some are serious, it is a part of strategy to hold coins. Its depends on us on how we able to determine if it is good to hold for that long time, we have different strategies but there are some tips and we can observe the daily operation of cryptocurrency.

I myself also still fairly new in the world of crypto. Especially for trading, still not so smart in regulating emotions. Sometimes still carrying lust for profit, so for hodl I still not proficient. Though once hodl until 6 months. And indeed the result is quite satisfactory. But sometimes impatient and also in a hurry because still often afraid the price will come down again. So now it's often a little profit. but still I enjoy.

If you can make a profit within a week or ten days, why not get bigger in a year. Maybe neo could have increased 200 times in a year, but I think 3-times increase in 3 months is quite serious in investing.

Well I actually did. Most of my crypto holdings I bought last year was now more than 100x times. Just some of it. SOme manage to goes up a little. Some did actually failed and plunge its value to the bottom. I am making serious profit of it to the point where I am able to reinvest it to others and kept growing.

I don't think holding is the best way to make big profit. In my opinion, I think it's the safest way, not the best way cause you just need to choose a good cryptocurrency then buy and hold but how if price of the whole market just dump in few months or maybe stable like the early of this year? I think at that time nobody thought that holding is the best way to make big profit :)). But if you're a patient guy, you can earn a lot of money from holding only.

It depends on a lot of things, hodl what and how much of it? Holding BTC currently for a year might get you 0 profit, but alts have a higher chance to win big(and lose). It all depends on the market, if there is a general positive outcome then it doesn't really matter if you are trading or holding.

Maybe you can look to crypto sites and see the price of coins a year ago. Maybe there will be a lot of coins that will not be anything, but on a serious coin, you will get a serious multiplication as well.

Everything depends on the specific coin you choose for long-term investments. It is important to understand, hold - this is a long-term perspective, you need to keep a coin even in a period of falls.

many will get excess profits if the hold in the long run. in fact I think it will be better than the daily trading of course, not every day will produce the coins. a lot of people say if daily trading will only create stress.

Not all coins need to be held. Now there are a lot of coins. Many of them are empty and have no idea. Quite possibly in 12 months they will not cost anything. You need to learn the coins that you are going to hold

That is one of the strategies of a good hodl. Some people with the big amounts will use this decision to hold their coins for some months and then harvest them until a certain number of profits. And at that time, they will go lamboo. Here, we must have belief and trust the coins that we hodl. It is important to analyze and the decide which altcoins that you must use to hold. After 6-12 months, I'm sure that many investors can gain multiple profits.

I think it sometimes takes a bit of luck to make a profit, and if you choose to invest in bitcoin, I think you can easily make a profit. But if you choose to invest when bitcoin falls, I think you have a very high probability of losing.

I hold some coins for 6 month and now I loss 30% from my portfolio. I still believe in my portfolio. I sure that I can make some x by end of this year. Keep calm and hodl.

All of my profits that I have made from cryptocurrencies have been from holding bitcoins and some ethereum. I tried my hand at trading once but i did not make a lot of money from it which is why I stop. It takes a special kind of attention to actually make it through trading. So the answer to your question is yes, I have made a lot of money from holding coins

Yes, as long as you can seize the opportunity you can get high profits. Currently Ethereum is one of the best currencies I think, and its current price is still very low. I think investing it will be a very good choice.

Actually that will be depending on the coin you are holding, not every coin in the market does have the potential to grow and good for long term investment, holding will not always give you profit.

I held my BTC for one and half year 2016-2017 and received a huge profit.Still i am holding my investment to get more profit.Holding is a good option especially when market is red,right now market is recovering and prices are going up so investors who held their investment during dip period now will enjoy high profit.

I am holding my coin for almost a month and I am believing that wothin the six months frame my coin will have a good value and I think a year frame is too long for a coin to have a good value.

And also for me if the coin has a impact to the investors it will not reach a year frame to have a good value.

Mine isn't profit yet as I haven't sold but my value has increased pretty nicely over the last 12 months, its helps that I got into in while coins were relatively cheap but my plan is to continue holding for another 6 months or so and then reevaluate

Same thing with you,  cause for me it won't make more profitable of having such long term investment. Market keeps on moving and can't be sure if hold it for atleast 1 year it's price goes higher as we expect. Daily trading might be good especially if you are focusing on crypto only, it surely gain profit everyday.

yup ,i held a coin revain for months about 7 months and its boom ,boom,boom, made over $50,000 from em.

Token hold strategy is always winning. I tried to trade, but I can not, and always in the minus. So now hold, and the only way to be healthy nerves, and good profit.

In a bull market, as long as you don't buy the MLM, you can basically make some profit!

Even in a bear market, buy some BTC and ETH, and you can make a profit in the long run!

Blockchain and cryptocurrency are slowly being accepted by more people!

I always sold the earned altcoins right away, but my friend does not (he always kept them). In the totals he always got more profit than me. Now I never sell all altcoins at once. I try to hold.

It is this period of 6 months or more that I consider optimal for making a profit. But if you bought at the peak, you need to keep it much longer, as for those who bought bitcoin in last December.

 

I know such people. In this industry, the main criterion is the reputation of the project, so study market trends, coin prospects, read expert opinions.

I remember buying ethereum for $ 270 and selling it when it hit $ 1,200. and I will continue to buy it gradually because it is very optimistic with ethereum and other altcoin

The question is not so specified. These people are and now they flaunt on the covers of Forbes. These are bitcoin holders. I think you would like to learn about the benefits of such retention with normal and appropriate coins. And not with bitcoin, which can enrich or drive into the pit. (Ethereum.....)

I had a very cool profit last December. I sold 75% of Bitcoins when the cryptocurrency reached its maximum. 25% were left, and now, I am not going to sell BTC as I believe that it will grow again.

hi, to be honest i didnt for my own money but i have some Investors which bought Verge for example over me when it was 70-80 Sat or DGB when he was 60 Sat and holded really long... The DGB guy was out at 2000 Sats but the Verge guy is still holding because of confidence that Verge will explode sooner or later... Iam not holding STuff so long mostly i like to Swimm with the Hype for some small % except i see it will breakout like 'BCN yesterday then i keep as it makes no sense to sell something if you are 100% up and the thing still goes like Crazy... Cheers

Of course you can make big profit with hold coin. But, I don't think that hold BTC, ETH, LTC, and strong Alt will make big profit in short time. At least you need more than years to earn big profit. I more prefer invest ICO but it's need to careful because many ICO are SCAM.

Yes of course there's someone is serious from holding in 6-12 months to get profit because they believe to their crypto, also holding that long it possibleto get a lot profit especially when the market are rising. Then its better if your crypto your going to hold is have potential, because surely you will become successful in holding, but if your crypto have no potential then holding 6 month and above is not worth it.

Yes i have make over 300 percent on Ethereum

In fact, keeping a long-term coin or exchange for a short period of time depends on the potential of the coin and the market from time to time. Sometimes it's not going to be profitable for long periods of time ... I do not hold the long-term or short-term investment goal with the right change for the sake of making a lot of money.

I have been investing in crypto currencies since August 2017. So far, in my 9 months of experience with crypto currencies, I have already preserved my capital and still investing for long term thru cost averaging method. I am taking profit from time to time upon reaching the goals I set but not selling all of it. I buy more than the average cost usually whenever there's a dip. Investment is like planting a seed, nourish it, take care of it, reap profit, then plant it again.

Yes, anyone can earn money in 6-12 months. Some people may even earn a lot of money in 1-2 months. I understand that some people earn high profits through leveraged transactions on the stock exchange, but this is extremely risky. I don't think that this stage is always holding high profits unless you have bitcoins many years ago.

Maybe it is not completely predictable. all of this depends on the State of the market the time too. lucky if since the 12-month price rise high. But if getting down to bad results thus obtained. holding sometimes indeed produce, however, the risk faced is also great.

Most of the money that I have made in the cryptocurrency has been from holding bitcoin and ethereum for about a year, I got lucky I guess because the market went bullish by the ending of last year and the price mooned at the beginning of this year. I sold  my bitcoins when the price was at about $15,000 and have only just gotten back into the market by buying the last dip.

Yes.

Hold good coins can give us good return for long term.

Some of the best as per me are

1. Pundi x
2. Nucleus vision
3. Travelflex
4. Cybermiles
5. Arcblock
6. Zilliqa

Will participate in Egretia ICO to get some Egretia tokens.

Although not a year and the price has reached the target we expect maybe we will stop at the target. Because the time period is more effective to make a profit because it is easier to predict the price. Actually I think it does not have to be on time 1 year to get profit, time is only used as reference only

Firstly I will say the market value at the time will determine how long to hold,  an investor might not have to hold that long to make good profit. 
Personally I'm just a beginner in crypto so I can't tell if I can hold for as long as 6-12 months or more

Not really, I have made most of my proftis on short term investments, but there are a few coins that I do hodl because I still believe that they can have a sutained long term growth.

I got some very good profit on some while losing badly on some other and the other coins are just nearly at the same level. I got bitcoins, eths and litecoins for few years already and they're at big profits already. AMP and Adex I am losing a bit big especially when prices are based in bitcoin.

I have never held on to any of my tokens for 6-12 months. I am holding on to the Algory token for the last two months, and it has risen by almost 100% from the listing price. I don't have any other tokens which I am holding for long-term.

Maybe it is not completely predictable. all of this depends on the State of the market the time too. lucky if since the 12-month price rise high. But if getting down to bad results thus obtained. holding sometimes indeed produce, however, the risk faced is also great.

Over the past half year almost all my coins have fallen in price by 2-3 times, but I'm not going to sell anything, I hope for the overall growth of the whole market.

Yes, if the luck is with you. Invest in something interesting (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2637453.0), study crypto and hold to get your profit.

Of cos the longer you hodl the more the profit you get but it depends on the token you are holding. last year I hodl  XLM for 6months and make 10x profit. Don't just hodl any coin always hodl the best

All my coins bought in January 2018 now cost half as much. For this reason, I do not consider it necessary to keep coins for six months or a year. It is better to immediately sell as they go to the ICO.

I think that's the safest method actually. Find great ICOs(I think exchange currencies are the safest, Spotcoin for example or Switcheo from the new ones) invest as much as you are prepared with to hold and don't even look at it for a year, it took BTC long years.

It depends on when you are investing as well. If you did invest at the top of the bull market then 6 to 12 months may not enough once it ends. In case of bitcoin it is down from where it was six months back so you may have to hodl for awhile if you believe in it or you can just cut your losses. For me, generally the long term hodling means more than 6 to 12 months. If you look at the price of bitcoin and ethereum, those are way up from where they started. There have been dips along the way but those are still way up.  So that is why generally the safest way is considered a long term investing.

Also about the profit, I did make good profit on some coins and lost entire investment on the projects that died.

I mostly can not keep something for more than two months, there is a great temptation to sell

It really depends on what coin you bought and HODL, I have currently 3 coins in my main portfolio which should skyrocket in the next 8-14 months.
1. NEBL 2. DeepOnion 3. Nano

If you want to earn on the crypto currency without extra efforts, it is enough to choose reliable tokens, form a portfolio and keep it for 3-5 years. year is possible, but unlikely, it all depends on the course.

That depends on what you're holding mate. Some coins may yield profit in that span of time, while others make take longer. Although no one can say with certainty how the coins would unfold in terms of value. You can still smartly guess how it will go based on its passed trends. For example, in the case of Bitcoin, it can go stagnant for a matter of six to nine months in a year at most before it surges to regain or even double, or much more, triple the value where it left off. For other coins, which are depended on the rise and fall of Bitcoin, they have held the same trend over the past several years as well.

I get a good profit for 6-12 months only when I hold the ether or bitcoin. When I keep ICO project tokens during such time, then I have no profit or very little.   

Of course it enough to make some great profit but there is depends on what coin are you hold. I you hold strong coin of course 12 month will be great profit but if you hold bad coin you, maybe in 12 month that coin already collapse. And it's all also depends on your luck.

In previous year bitcoin gave good profit, opproximately x25, some altcoins gave x10-50. Unfortunately in future we will not see more than x5 during the year

I think you are lucky. A lot of people can't make triple profit. I lost 30% of money in the last few weeks. I think it's my bad luck.

Why do you always sell in a week or ten days? Do you not believe in cryptocurrency? You just hope to make a short profit and leave? It seems like a dangerous strategy to me unless you are a practiced trader

I kept a few coins for a year and a half, but because of the large market dump earlier this year, I lost absolutely all of the profits and sold the coins very badly. I'm almost in despair.

See it depends on the coin and the time of the year you invest if I invest now or if I would have invested right after those bad days when altcoins had bloodbath then I could have gained a lot now.

If you can make a profit within a week or ten days, why not get bigger in a year. Maybe neo could have increased 200 times in a year, but I think 3-times increase in 3 months is quite serious in investing.

It depends on the luck of the altcoin. You can completely lose all the money, and you can earn a little, try your luck.

Normally, I'm not a man who holds for a long time. But I think it really is worth it and I have friends who have been patient to wait for at least a year and they have achieved good results.  :)

Over the past half year, I lost somewhere 70% of my deposit. But I'm not going to sell anything,  I want to buy more coins. Sooner or later the market will start a sharp upward movement, as it has always been.

Well surely you could earn holding long but time is not the basis for earning huge profit and it is the volatility of the crypto. If you will consider 6 months as long term investment. But for me 6 months is still a short term goal because when you say long term it should be 3 years up there you could really check the difference the market price of crypto at present and 3 years backward. The difference is the possible profit that you could gain.

You picked the good coin to hold. GVT indeed already increase in orice significantly. Who knows if you keep holding it for a bit longer, maybe you can get more than 10x profit.

I've been through that situation and still now I still have some tokens/coins that still not moving upwards. Well, there are really shit happens and we must accept the fact that hodling can't guarantee us a huge amount of profit. But in case of Bitcoin and the other top 5 coins, I can really sure that this can really give us a good ROI.

Yes, of course. I still hold some altcoin for almost a year. this has become a consideration because my investment is long term. and besides, I always follow every market development and especially look for altcoin information that I hold. as for other things I can do daily trading.

I think with new people and those who have little capital, they will only keep for a short time and when the profits they will sell to recover the capital. But want to make bigger profits you have to keep it for a longer time.

the hold is difficult because certainly, very patience tested. This is a lot of people do because it has a high profit target goals and minimal risk of loss. many have already managed to implement a strategy like this and certainly not a haphazard coin which they hold. must have coins that are potential to be arrested let alone long term.

I know such people, but, unfortunately, not personally, and I just take the floor for it, because I believe that in this area of ​​activity reputation is the main value, because without it people will not follow you, and you do not have the people you can handle.

till, new altcoyins, only released on the stock exchange after ISO, can give a decent income. For 6-12 months, some grow 10 or more times.

Yes, I had made substantial profits by holding cryptocurrencies. My money almost tripled in a span of near about 12 months. I think holding is the easiest and safest way of making substantial profits in crypto market. You don’t need to do much research and study about the market trends. Just hold on to your investments for few months. It’s not about the amount of period you hold your money but on your accurate timing of buying and selling at available opportunity.

Invest In ICO are more profitable than trading. And you right, it can make profit very big. But it bit risky for Coin to be shitcoin. So don't too long hold your coin.

Sometimes a patience can be very good rewarded in $. I would advise buying new cheap promising altcoins and hold them for a long period. The profit after can be really lucrative.

HODL Genesis Vision / GVT from now until Q1/2 2019 and you'll be laughing with the returns!

I believe that everything depends on the coins that you hold. Long holding does not give us guarantees that you will in any case make a profit.

if you are confused looking for an example, I am an example. I did not expect it to be as easy as this, in just 6-8 months, I made more than 100% profit. I am very grateful for this

I could say that depends on what coin that you invest in.
If you invest and hold on top ten coins, I can say that its possible you can achieve that profit.

I think the market will start to rise in June. During the first half of the year, the cryptocurrency I invested in did not earn much profit because there were a lot of things happening, but I think the market will turn around in June-July!

If you make investment when the market is down, you will definitely make profit when the market goes in upward trend again. I have made a good profit by holding some altcoins for six months or so.

I am 100% sure that most of us have been holding bitcoins for years, well, at least i have been doing it so for more than a few years (2014 aproximately) and yes, it has been the most profitable thing that i have ever did before

just need to know what to leave for retention so that it brings significant profit in the future, usually I keep about 6 months that brings in 1.5-2 more

Holding is an effortless way of gaining profit since you don’t have to do much or put in too much effort. However, IMO holding  would still need to research because not all coins are worth holding. It’s possible that you could waste your time and effort for nothing. Also, you would be able to know when is the best time to sell or continue holding if you do some research.

I found WhenToken and I am totally convinced this project is worth using! It is a great solution for independent workers, who want to monetize their time and share their knowledge while receiving a decent payment. The service uses decentralized apps running on the Eth blockchain to create secure micro- contracts that can be as short as 15 minutes as well as to provide frictionless billing and payment service. No paperwork or billing is involved and I appreciate it. Monetize your time and knowledge with WhenHub!

Everything can be happen in any of investment and now specially crypto investment. Holding normally become very worth strategy which can give the holder much benefit. But just see now the holding does not always have contants direction which is profit but also risk of loss. This because the market has very deep coreenction.

Not all holders for that long is lucky to have great profit since it only depends on the coin you are holding.We cant predict when or how long will it take for it to moon,some will take for years before moon.Just read the whitepaper and be updated to their roadmap and channel for their project to anticipate the pricehike always and never be left from the priceride.

I don't have a long experience of investing coins, I think the tactic makes sense only if the project develops and the general state of the market is on the rise for a long time.

It depends on the coins it self, if they are not improving or developing then the price won't get anywhere far. So pick coins that are developing all the times and being a good prospect for the future.

I used to invest in long-term investment, that is why I hold every coin I have for about more than a year. Actually as we know, it's not depends on the time but it most of hype, quality of the product and  momentum that attract more investors.

Not yet) but the market is not growing, everything will be fine soon! A little wait left

I definitely don't regret for holding some coins if I can go back I would hold more coins and definitely don't sell it

This is not entirely true. many factors will certainly make a profit or loss could occur. just look at what happened from January until now, it has been almost six months but hasn't been able to speak many crypto results fortunately obtained and thus getting down. Despite the potential rise is still there but it certainly took a long time.

Of course you'll make money from hodling long term. People who bought NEO when it was just pennies are now rich! Never underestimate the power of patience.

The long term trajectory is going to be up. A few years ago, nobody had heard of Bitcoin. Now DogeCoin might be in an ETF.

Long term holding is far more relaxing than daytrading IMO. I check my blockfolio daily but as long as I don't make life-changing gains I really neither care about a 70% decrease nor do I care a about a 200% increase of value.

You yourself had the experience of gaining an awesome return for hodling your coins for three months. Currently only the hodlers are going to get serious returns on their investment while the market isn't good for the traders. Trying to trade in a bear market is like going against the stream and it isn't easy to trade.

The investment strategies are varied and I think you should implement your own strategy. Because your strategy is always very effective for you. You should not try other strategies when you do not understand it, it will be a wrong decision.
I have tried many different strategies of many people and I have completely failed. hope you will not encounter the same mistake as me.

Personally I try to invest on it rather than short term trading because bitcoin value especially altcoin is totally unpredictable !
I can prove you by seeing bitcoin graph from year to year scale, you will see the increment just by holding.

So yeah.. I felt regret to sold cheap for them all in the past !

I have! I think the market situation play more important role also to successfully holding to profit! Holding your coin is still the prefect strategy for realizing impressive gain in the future,

You can open the site Coinmarketcap and study the schedules of many projects. You can see that almost all good projects have grown in a year. It is also important at what time to watch the price. Those who held assets since January 2017, in January 2018 received a huge profit.

I had hodled a coin around 6-12 months and did make profits out of it but sad thing was that I was not able to withdraw them and kept them in bitcoin instead. It was one of the poor decision I made before and the coin now is worth a quarter of how much it was worth then.

I plan to keep all my tokens for at least a year. While several months have passed and it's too early to talk about the results

Yeah, hodling is actually pretty hard.

What happens is that people get so excited about their investments that they end up checking prices and volume everyday.
That can quickly turn into obsession as you check coinmarketcap and bitcointalk many times throughout the day.

Since crypto is so volatile, you end up seeing the value of your investments going up and down and it can affect you very easily.
You then end up making a hasty decision and selling earlier than you planned.

If you want to hodl long term, you have to really look at the market in the long term.
Take a look at coinmarketcap from just one year ago, and you will see just how far crypto has come.
We still have a long ways to go as the market is still really young.

So if you put your investments into just 3 stable, worthwhile projects (projects that have a working product, offer a real world solution, etc.) than you are sure to make great profits a year from now.

You just need to manage how much you let news affect you.

Now everyone is talking about profits for 2017, but in 2018 there is no such growth of coins, it is necessary to understand which coins are hodling and which ones to sell.

Yes, you can do serious profits by holding perspective coins for 6-12 month or more. Point is to choose right ICO and invest in it. Also you can sell your tokens before that term if you fell you are satisfied with the growth and it's time to fix your profit.

I think that the best combination for security of ETH wallet is MEW (or MyCrypto) + Metamask. And I agree that the best way to create so called cold wallets, which you use only for storing some share of your portfolio. And also don't store your keys in a cloud storage, it's better to use a flash drive.

Yes, it is definitely good strategy if you do not have time to trade. In that case you just need choose really good coins with clear roadmap, idea and team, and do enormous research about the company. But the best variant is holding coins from ICO - this stuff definitely will make a good return.

I think the most important thing right now is to choose the time to buy.
Maybe Neo buyers 12 months ago can answer your questions easily.
But for now, it looks like a 3x increase is already a serious advantage.

Maybe in the past you have never experienced selling coins just before the coin exploded.
It's your luck, but if you've experienced it, you'll understand why some people choose to hold their coins longer.

I bought Eos about two months ago, and now at least it has doubled. If for the current situation can generate a good profit, I am sure that at a smaller Altcoin will be a serious profit for investment at 6-12 months.

If you buy Top5 right now for a year long hodl, I suppose you surely will get some profits. No one can promise they'll be huge, but you can cash out those in the rise and hodl again

Hold has many types of Hold if you have good trade skills you can increase your coin quantity and if you want to hold you can still hold

Maybe if you bought anything from top100 coins on the 12 months ago, you will benefit, but not if you bought it 6 months ago. But we also do not know what will happen 6 months ahead. So buying time is no less important than waiting time, if we expect a serious profit in this field.

I have hold my coins for for less than 3 months and its already gives me more than 50x. But if you wants to earn that amazing profit you need to be at the right coins and the right time. For me, its a luck I guess.

If you enter with the right timing of course you can have a good gain also holding for less times but look at main coins, if you boughts  in early 2017 you would have made a very good gain ;)

Yeah of course you can make a serious profit for hodling that long most especially if the tokens you are holding becomes successful. I mean consider also the tokens that you are holding if the project is active, they are active in telegram, twitter and facebook then that tokens are worth to hold . For sure you will gain big profit.

Although every person would have his own thought process in regards to this, but the only time I made good profit from holding a coin for over 3 months was with PundiX.
The value of PundiX was only a few dollars for the entire duration but then the company started their buyback program and the value went to the moon. From a few dollars price rose to over a thousand dollars and it was still increasing even when I had sold all of mine.
So this gives us hope that one must never give up hope on shitcoins. The best bet is to keep holding them till the very last.

It may be however I think the results will not look great. Moreover, with such market conditions this year that did not allow for crypto to experience an increase in price. better hold it any longer about two years at least there could feel a huge profit and do not rush.

I recommend that if you want to invest in crypto, you can invest in the long term. Because if you invest in the short term, the profit you get is very small. If in the long run, you will get a lot of profits only you have to wait patiently for the price of coins rose very high.

It is not all the coins that you hold to make profit. Some coins will not make profit even if you hold till ever. Check total volume  of coins and the volume in circulation if it is small or about the half of total volume of the coins and the total volumes in millions and not in billions there is a great chance that if you hold you will be in profits.

Holding a good coin will always make you huge profit you can never imagine. Holders always enjoy big profits and holding for one year it will even give you more profit you could imagine then holding for weeks or few months. Holding is good but it depends on the coin you are holding

Why not? If you are an early adopter, it is totally possible for some altcoin gems can gain 100x over a year. I myself used to get a 300x profit after 3 years holding an altcoin. It pretty much depends on which coin to hodl, probably.

Yes, I made serious profit for holding  Cindicator (CND ) from October last year till early January this year and I was haapy. I am planning to do due diligence on some other coins that i have and hold them till first week of December.

It can be good if you hold for long term, much profit you can have and then buy again another coins and hold it, but remember it depends on the coin you want to invest so better watch the market.

Ofcourse it can because while holding those coins the prices are also growing and sometimes it decreases but when you really wait for the prices to reach its peak you can really make profit by holding it.

If you will invest in bitcoin then probably the answer is no because bitcoin volatility is so low and the market price for bitcoin was almost stable and could not play more volatility compared on the last few years where bitcoin market price is low. However, if you are referring to some altcoins like ether, neo, ripple and other cypto might be possible. Higher and larger profit could be obtain by holding these crypto but it could also be opposite of your expectation because market price increase will depend on the investors of that certain crypto.

As I have seen with my friends he has an experience of holding coins from August 2017 and then hold it and then sell it last December 2017 and I'm glad with him because he earned good profit at that time and then he continues to invest and I want to do that also.

of course cryptocurrency is one very good investment that we use with many advantages, for us also very good get many benefits in the future.

If you are newbie it can be hard for you to choose proper ICO to invest in, so it’s better to study about coin you are going to invest in and listen to experts point of view. I’m doing this way.

Of course crypto investment can. Cryptocurrency can offer the best return on investment if you know what you are doing or have good luck in buying / trading.
However, you risk losing everything you invest if the project you are investing fails.

Nowadays, it can be a problem not cashing out when prices go down , although concious hodlers know that these are provisional stages.

Yes, received a profit from the holding of Ethereum. Bought it for about $ 500, and sold for $ 1400.

Personally, I have not been in the crypt so much time, but my friends on a long-term basis received a profit 5 times bigger, the main thing is to sell it on time!

i think it depends on what you want and how much time you are ready to spend on the cryptocurrency world and on the coin itself

Of course friends, still holding the crypto assets that we have as a long-term asset is good enough and I do it.
I once held my Ethereum assets to make 6x more profit in almost 6 months, I was very excited and surprised at that time.
And, until now I always keep holding crypto assets that have good development to produce high profit.

I'm not so long ago in the bounty, only 2-3 months, and I have tokens which I would like to hold untouched for 1-2 years. I hope to succeed.

This is not entirely true. many factors will certainly make a profit or loss could occur. just look at what happened from January until now, it has been almost six months but hasn't been able to speak many crypto results fortunately obtained and thus getting down. Despite the potential rise is still there but it certainly took a long time.

If you look at the statistics of how many percent of crypto currency grew from the beginning to the end of 2017, you can conclude that hodl for a long time increases your investment and protects your nerves

I have been keeping the coin for 8 months and I really hope for growth and good profits !! I think the rest also need to wait and believe how much you can

Having a coin for more than 8 months would cause the market to go up. I think that you did a good job with that, most people can't hold for more than 2 weeks.

It all depends on the token or coin your holding. If the project is very promising I don't mind holding for a year. When is comes to good project, the longer you hodl the better.

I believe yes,but as for me, I can't hold for such long period. I am a flipper. I don't know what the reason is,but I will try to improve it and hold some potential coins for a longer period as I used to

I have read some people claim to have achieved 10x or more just by holding for 6-12 months. Those that bought around 1st quarter of last year then sold during December. I guess they are really good at spotting gems.

It possible to make lots of profit when holding a coin for a very long time and also possible to loss the value of a coin been hold for a very long time.... all you have to do is to study the market and how trading work.

Yes, you heard right. Holding is the best way to make big profits, But that holding is not for six months or a year. It can be 3 to months or even more than two years. No one knows when they will get good money from holding. Its depend on the market situation. This year still gives nothing to the holders, Because The crypto market is not good enough. Who are holding coins from the 15K Of BTC, They haven't got any good profits from their holding currencies. The2018 is the best for the daily and live trading. Traders are earning a significant amount of money. And holders are suffering too much; their hopes are breaking every month. So, I know about the past that someone made 3K USD By investing only 500 USD, But at this moment, I don't know who made good money by holding.

Best way is holding and it is no doubt about that just make sure when is the perfect timing to sell your tokens. A good analysis is to observe the roadma of the team in terms of development. If they are way beyond on their timeline or still on par with their activity. Usually a good project never gets late for a certain target.

Ofcourse, it will be profitable to hold crypto coin for 6 - 12 months but only if you are holding good coins, not any shit coins. I make too much profit in last 6 months only with holdings. 6 Months later, my bank balance is zero, but now it is $5000-$8000.

If everyone in this market is making money, who will make it?
In the current cryptocurrency market, it is difficult for bear markets to make money. Only a very small portion is making money. Most people are in a state of loss!
HODL is waiting for a bull market!

Sometimes some coins or tokens can rise in price hundreds of thousands of times. Of course, you need to carefully select coins or tokens, so that they are able to give such a profit. To do this, you need to monitor the development of projects for these coins or tokens. However, most of the tokens do not make a big profit, because the projects turn out to be unsuccessful.

Holding is for the long term and we can expect a good amount of profits in crypto only when u hold for long-term some of coins which gave more than 10x to 50 x profits are Eth Ripple and Litecoin

Have tasted both method and I can say hodling a good coin will bring you good profit in the long term. I hodl payfair for 3 months and I got *84 profit

I hold bitcoin maybe for 10months maybe 2-3 years ago. This is the best way to get profit, but beginnings was not easy and the price doesn't go up. I need to be patient in that and still believe that it can grow up and it paid off for me very much.

This is surely right I also holding some good coin and it bring a good profit to me but before holding your coin make sure you know the purpose of the project and make some research if this project can have a high possibility to boom in the market after 6 to 12 months :)

Those who bought cryptocurrencies in December 2017 are still hodling because they are still at a loss.  It may take a few more months to break even or possibly longer.  Those who have bought in the last couple of month may be in serious profit shortly.   

Holding is not the best way to make a big profit. For me when the coin makes a big pump i started to sell them then wait for 2 to 4 days to buy back because put in mind that there are no token which will pump forever so its a wise move to sell your coin when it pumps just analize where the resistance will hit. I know this is not easy for the beginners to annalize the support and resistan but researching and watching useful trading lesson in youtube or google will make you improve a lot in your trading skills.

I tried to hold it for 12 months. I spent $1500 for such coins XEM, XRP, DGB, VTC, STR, ETC, NXC, AMP, RADS, SNGL, XZC. In the  peak it was 15K, today it is 3K, l have to wait when the market goes up.

Yea, holding actually makes good returns  from holding, depends with the quality of the project though, you don't expect to make good returns out of holding poor quality coins, good coins will gain value over time and holding them will give you returns as value will be gained

So far for me this did not work but it is still time until I will make 1 year of holding so I still have faith but right now I am in a big lose but the good part is that i did not panic on all this bitcoin bouncies so this can turn in my favor at the end of this year. Anyone else havig this situation ?

Of course we did just look at last year if you were hodling pretty much any coin you could see it going x20,it really didnt made any difference because everything was pumped.Now this might work only if you buy in on the projects that looks promising and that are still in the early stages of development so the price is low enough

In previous year bitcoin gave good profit, opproximately x25, some altcoins gave x10-50. Unfortunately in future we will not see more than x5 during the year

If you buy Top5 right now for a year long hodl, I suppose you surely will get some profits. No one can promise they'll be huge, but you can cash out those in the rise and hodl again

really depends on which coin, Back 2016 was holding certain coin til now, turned out it was not a good idea. Not all holding is worth the wait, you need to hold the right coin example top 10 - 20 coin with potential growth and solid support from the community or else you'll end up holding a shit coin.

not yet 'cause I am just new here but one am holding two altcoins so far, from $1k to almost less than $200 so far. And the other one is from $600 to $300. It's a kind of draining my patience but I always reminding myself that I chose this way so better to be calm and focus for the reason of holding.

you can check needacoin and secrets_of)crypto, they said they have made 1000x+ by just holding in a cold wallet. That's possible for sure

Yeah some are serious, it is a part of strategy to hold coins. Its depends on us on how we able to determine if it is good to hold for that long time, we have different strategies but there are some tips and we can observe the daily operation of cryptocurrency.

Trying to pick projects i believe in on the long term and keep adding to my stack. to add some excitement to the otherwise boring hodling game i buy some lowcaps from time to time.

I have held some of my little known alts for 6-12 months. But in most cases, I got negative returns. The coins I held were the following: Litecoin, Denarius, Bitsend, Byteball, Deep Onion, eBTC, and Bitcoin Cash. It may be due to the current market conditions as well.

I think most of us did. I did profit for holding for at least 5 months, which is kind of nice because it gave me 5 times return. Then there is this case where I ended up badly instead of profiting because we all are a newbie at some point and thought to ourselves "Hey it's increasing, maybe I should hold this much longer" and the next moment we are at the lost. Well, maybe that's how we learn our lessons, from mistakes (Atleast in my case) and learned that we should be grateful if we profit and should just take it, that we should set our own limitation because most altcoins don't last 6-12 months but instead only gives you hope and die in the end.

For me its Yes, Holding 1 year of a promising coin/token can be more profitable if the coin/token you choose is the right one. but if you wrongly pick the s***coins it maybe opposite the results is. because s***coins are no future so you better aware of everything because this type of Coin/Token is masquerading as (promising one) but the team  will be vanish as soon as it will listed on exchange so be careful!

Yes HODL is the best policy.
You can check out PRiVCY Coin now. Its already 3x in last few days and everyone can get it in from the airdrops. There are going to be 20 rounds and 2nd round is on 16th june. Its already trading on crex24. I would say another best coin for holding long term.

Serious profit will be if you invest serious moneys.
If investments very low you need big big increases 10 - 20x, nowadays this kind profit rarity

I have done it with Bitcoin in 2015 - 2016 when it rose from $550 to around $6,000 I think? You could have also repeated the rise during 2017 up to the peak, but you should always pick targets where you will sell some or all and stick to them.

I have made serious profit from holding different coin down the years, and my number one example is bitcoin! Through the market conditions and situations, when it hurts and when it is joyful, I have to experience and endure all sort of disappointment and fulfillment, but I  can tell that cryptocuurency worth alll the effort and experience!

The biggest profit came from sales in December 2017. I won't consider keeping it for six months. It is more reasonable to say that, as the market has grown substantially, the token will last longer. Yes, it's more profitable and psychologically easier than day trading.

If the market is not the situation as it is now, then in principle on the right investments you can get good profit. It all depends on the dynamics of the growth of a particular coin and market conditions. And the timing is very vague, it all depends on the investor's greed or the desire to cover all costs.

I have a few coins that I hold for more than half a year. But this has not yet given a serious profit.

well it's true that some holder got huge profits. even some of them hold for years. well because in my opinion rules number 1 in crypto is patience

Timing is a key factors when investing with this type of investment, holding is good if you buy your asset in it's low value but if you buy it when the value is in it's pumped then better to research if holding still good and what can be the possible thing to happen.

Maybe it is not completely predictable. all of this depends on the State of the market the time too. lucky if since the 12-month price rise high. But if getting down to bad results thus obtained. holding sometimes indeed produce, however, the risk faced is also great.

Today i do not believe in a long-term investment in crypto i prefer medium ones it can be really profitable.

I use to hear this but I no longer believe, I held some coins for a year now and I don't see my benefit, but I've gotten good profits from short term holds. In the end, you chose what best suit you

It's possible but not definitely, the market is very volatile, we have seen in every coin's price chart that coin's price goes up and down and nothing remains the same, just sell at the right time and buy at the right, it's really up to you when you will buy and sell your portfolios.

Yes they can do that. If you have a long patience then you can also do that but if your mindset is just to earn then you are for the short term investment meaning you wantvis to earn only not to earn with soecific amount or earn big. You cannot earn big in just let say 3 months in earning big you have to hodl it for a long period of time if not you should know how to play the value of the crypto you are hodling so that if the crypto peak its price then you will also earn big but if the price dump you should know what to do and you should not pacnic because it is normal that the price or vale of the crypto is going up and down.

I think that every person can not wait that long if people just do not take it away and do not keep it in a place where they will not find it. Here such usual truth, it really very often happens the truth, patience is gold.

of course they get it if bought in 2010 they get a lot of profit but if they buy at the end of 2017 then they do not get anything, in fact they lose a lot of money but if they buy current and hold for a few months then they will get many benefits

Last year a had a profit about twelve times, that was really cool year for investment. But today i had only decrease in deposit.

The length of the period during which you keep your coins is important in the event that the project intensively develops. If the project does not have regular updates, then long-term storage may lead to the opposite result.

Holding a good coin will always make you huge profit you can never imagine... Holders always enjoy big profits and holding for one year it will even give you more profit.

Since the official Kucoin exchange, I bought 100 KSCs when the KCS price was $ 1. As soon as the price goes up to $ 20 and I have timely sold my KCS assets. That was the result hold of my KCS hold in two month

that alone will not be enough. view current market conditions I think it will be difficult to get profit within six to twelve months. many factors determine the fortunes and sturdiness. not just a matter of holding the old course but many factors from outside the other that determines whether it will be able to generate a profit and not. demand factors and a lot of good news will certainly affect the increase and decrease of the case.

That is really cool resoult! Congrads you. What charasteristics of coin or coin do you prefer for coin which you will invest?

I am sure that many have earned on such terms of investment. There were times when you could get thousands of percent of profits

Actually, there is no guarantee how long the time you holding your crypto currency coins with the amount of profits. the price increase in the market does not depend on the length of time. There is no relationship between the length of time and the price in the market. If I am private, I apply a flexible time in holding my crypto currency coins, I do not have to hold the coin of the crypto currency in how long. Most importantly, I always monitor the market price to seek profit opportunities. If I just hold the coin within a week or two weeks then the price soared then I will sell it. Do not have to wait for months because it has gained a great profit. But, if the price has not gone up then I will be patient to wait until the time can not be determined.
