How long should we hold coins?
In the past 3 weeks, despite all the risks, many investors have hold a large number of coins such as TRX, XVG, XRP, ADA, etc. ranging from good to bad coins including DGB, DOGE.

Getting back a little bit with the psychology of human beings: we are always afraid but very pleasure when others talk about profit. When some coin prices are falling, you only see the negative things in it: "It will surely keep falling, so it’s better to stay away". When it turns back up: "It will plunge again sooner or later?" But when it's high up then: "It will no longer fall".

As an investor, you will have to understand a coin before investing money in it. You should evaluate and consider everything before making the decision to buy and hold for a long term (for 6 months to 1 year , or at least 3 months for the most impatient investors). Because one cycle of increase / decrease of a coin usually lasts for 2 months, understanding coin will give you confidence, psychological preparedness before facing the falling prices

The criteria to assess a coin:
1. General information about that coin
2. The purpose of generating the coin
3. The dev team (do more or say much)?
4. What is the current product? In what stage?
5. Are there existing customers? Potential customers?
6. Vision of future coin? Is it realistic or just expressed in words?
7. Scalability?  Can it be accepted by the public? Is it possible to apply to everyday life?

I spend little time tracking the prices. Most of the time is spent on reading news, evaluating coins to make investment decisions. I also spend only 10-15 minutes on technical analysis (It’s not because I view it as unimportant, I’m just get used to it). As a result, I have bought a lot of coin at a very good price. I bought when you were there saying: how can it increase again. I left you far behind, at present, it is greatly safe for all my investments because my investment value has increased by several to tens of times.

You can say whatever in case of rising price, even when you invest in shitcoin. However, when the price falls this low, my balance seems to keep stable thanks to my calculation and comprehensive knowledge about coins. Once investing in a coin, I strongly believe in its future. I choose the right time to buy more coins without any fear of risk!

So how long to hold coins? The answer is that you go learn more thoroughly and comprehensively about the coins you want to invest in and make your decisions.

If we study the behavior of the different crypto coins since the time this year has started, we will not be able to see some good results as the market value of most of the crypto coins have only fallen but now, things are getting little better and that the market value of the coins is improving. You just need to buy some good coins and then do nothing but putting all of them in your wallet for as long as you could so that you can then manage to make more money.

     For,i will hold my coins until end of 2018,because in my own views bitcoin too much increase during every last month of the year. I also buy ethereum,and ibhave also some dogecoin in my wallet. I'll just keep it safe and waiting the day it increase more which i can earn a lot of profit without doing anything just holding for long term.

To hold a coins is depend on your belief, if you know it well you will hold for sure. Like for example Xem/Nem this alts is one of the coins which is good to hold in long term. Because it has a strong community, always giving updates to their community and a stable company too. Meaning, you must hold if there are some investors really love it and the buy support is strong not weak. This is for my opinion only.

No one knows which coin will explode in 2018 or after that,it all depends on the market situation.If you invest on the altcoin it also comes with great risks because many altcoin will lose its value in years,but coin like DOGE is in the use for long so it might b a safe coin to invest.BUt I always go with bitcoin and investing on altcoin is just wasting of time in my opinion.

I'm beginning to read people having hope in doge coin , I'm being surprised about it but it will be nice.

On the other side you are saying you think altcoin is waste of time but dogecoin is also altcoin.

Can you read that again,in my opinion I said because I always wanted to invest on bitcoin.But people are making money from altcoins too but I don't see crypto as investment so I invest only on bitcoin whatsoever.

So far, I have seen very few coins that have done well like ont. This year for now has not encouraged hodling (that is in my view) but hoping that before the year goes away, my hodlings will make me happy.

If im going to invest in a coin/token long term I personally hold until it does a 2x and then sell half of what I initially bought. This way I can hold the rest with 0 risk since even if the coin/token goes to 0 I would still be even. It works really well for me and it's very easy to hold once it reaches a 2x

these no doubt excellent tips, but who the hell buys dogecoin as an investment?


in my opinion we have to hold for 1 year at least


many people do not follow these tips that you gave and the most serious is that people do not bother to meet team members, their past and experience, people worry about bounty and this floods the thread with questions like:"OP, will have bounty campaign? "even if someone asks serious questions in the currency thread, this question will be ignored because the thread will be full of people post asking about bounty

For me im only holding coins if the coins has good platform and has a daily usage.or simply i can pick some coin to hold on top 20 listed in coinmarketcap.com. Nowadays theres a lot of ICO in the market and some are just raising funds  and introduce a copycat platform with no guarantee if their project will gonna last long.My advice is better to do research if you are buying coins in ICO or in the market already.Know the project,know the person behind,and their advisor. And ofcourse their community. Keep research and keep educating yourself about cryptocurrency and you cant be wrong if you invest your hard earn money. 

if you have much money you can buy ETH and BCH and then hold long term
if have not much money you can buy coin with cheap price ADA, XRP , XML stellar and more

maybe you never get a big advantage when you invest in altcoin ,, so you can say something like that ,, though in fact it will be a lot of undeserved atcoin that keeps falling and finally disappearing in time, ...  :D :D

I do not prefer to wait for a good result from a few coins, I divide the entire amount by an equal number of coins. Almost doesn't matter if someone from them lose in the General coins X clear extended core balance plus

It is necessary to look at the development and roadmap of each coin. To keep coins for a long time is good, but you need to check the process.

I sure, that need to hold coins with POS
Price of the coin can grow and you get reward for your stake in the same time

If you are investing in a cryptocurrency or in a bitcoin and some altcoins you should make sure that the coins or tokens that you are investing with is very secured and you should do the research in it. You will be holding coins long term so keep tracking the price and study the graph.

The very best coin to HODL is bitcoin and the safest way to do it is to put it in a hardware wallet, ledger or trezor, then do HODLING for about 5-6 months or else make it a year the bigger amount you HODL the more profit it will gain, because low amount will just tickle the earn unlike big investment then big earn. We already know the platform of bitcoin so no need to worry, altcoins should have been used for trading. Making money roll.

You're right, I also think Etherium's good time ahead..I bought something for myself, There is a good profit at all....
thank you

I´m totally agree with your coment about this coins. I have in my wallet ADA,XRP and SPANK and I hope to increase my investment in a short time

my investment method %70 bitcoin and %30 alts, i use alts to increase my BTC

It's good to keep hold as much possible minimizing the spending on unwanted things. Because, from various predictions it is clear that 2018 will mark a big growth that will continue to the year 2019. So, what we keep hold will surely profit bigger than what we get selling at present.

It is very hard to find out good coins with real use and future potential because there are so many to choose from. I just pick from top 20 coins listed on coinmarketcap.

Because of the volatile nature of the crypto currencies, the market value of different crypto coins keeps on going up and down and that when it falls, things get very much difficult to handle especially for the newbies. However, you just need to stay patient at that time and that you need not to make any such decision which can make you feel regret in future. buy some good coins and keep holding that coin for as long as you can.

It depends on what period you keep your crypto-currency assets.
If for a long time, it is better on special wallets like trezor. And if for a short time, it's better on the stock exchanges.

Thanks for your thread here. As far as I know this totally depends on you how will you handle your coin. But before investing in any ICO projects you should research about them. There are some good ICO project I am familiar with such as SciDex. Looks like a great project. You don't have to think twice if you would like to invest there. Promising and result oriented project. All the best!

If I hold, I will wait until the price goes up, I would sell some of it when in need of money for emergencies only. When the price goes up and you think that it's enough for your profit you can sell it now then buy later when price goes down and if the price still increasing better to wait then later on you can sell it for profit. You will wait longer if price won't increase faster or take too long to increase. If you don't want to wait longer because of holding coin then you can do buy and sell but it is risky but still profit. How long will it take to wait? Depends on the coin's price. Hope it helps on how to hold coins. It is very simple all you have to do is keep your coins in a safe wallet like ledger for example. There are two ways on how long you hold but depends on what coin you hold.
1=Short term hold, you will hold your coin not too long then sell, example your coins cost $1000 dollars for example you will sell your coins when your coins cost $1500 for example then you earn $500.
2=Long term hold, your coins cost $1000 at the moment but you wait for 1 year (for example) then luckily (meaning coin's price increased a lot) the coin now cost like $5000 and you feel like the price would decrease then you sell your coin for profit.

If you listen Warren Buffet you would hold at least 10 years, if you don't plan to wait at least 10 years don't be there for 5 minutes.
There is truth in his words, it's not risk free, but its great way to make a lot of money by doing almost nothing, just patiently wait. Who ever wish to sell on tops and buy back in dips will be surprised how hard it is to catch that moments, many times when you think its top price will rise more, when you think you bought on bottom price can drop even more. Making money like that is really a gambling, so if you plan to invest in icos now do it, but wait at least couple years before selling. Only if you can buy a lot then you can try to shortage sometimes, but only sometimes, don't let it become habit.

Dude do not go with the ICO projects mate. There are people invested on ICO and loosing their fund as well so before you invest on any project please read their white paper and then decide whether it will work or not.
Then I personally advice every people to invest on the coin or tokens which is listed already because you will be able to grab the profit very soon mate.

-Three months minimum since this period you can see a lot difference between their price before and after 3 months.


Simplest thing to do with your problem is to create your own blockfolio, you can just click it and check the price value if it has green remarks or red one.

The method never changed, it’s not something new, cause this is method that is being used years ago. I don’t really get what you mean by the price goes down for two months and also goes up for two months? You’re wrong, it never works like that, if it was as such, we would all find it very much easy to buy and sell and make profit. And the price never go up two months and down for two months, it can stay like four months down and when we’re getting to the fifth month it starts going up until end of the year when it will also fall again.

Well my 2 btc got stolen when i held it on PC so im holding my coins now on binance and will never move it. better and most safe

Thank you for this quite a valued post. Sharing this post to beginners would be vital because majority of them just see holding as keeping their coins and staying there as their comfort zone. I think they should wake up on their thoughts that holding is also an opportunity to buy more coins rather than just keeping it into their respective wallets. They will be stuck on their own margin of sells once their holding moment is over, while it could be a higher gain before if they had just invested in other coins. I appreciate the criteria you made. I suggest putting up more question guidelines to be included in each for other's to be less dumb-founded on what each criteria means.  :)

we can not know which coins will be good in 2018. It depends on the market situation, whether the coin is much in demand by the public, or not. but you can see from his powerful community, updates to his community, and his stable company. such as Xem / Nem coins, this is one good altcoin, to be stored in the long run, so that the price is much higher when sold later, and to feel the benefits. the more people who are interested in the coin, then, it will help to advance its own coin.

My portfolio is composed in such proportions: 40% I keep in bitcoin and etherium, all the remaining 60% is the top 50 coinmarketcap coins. And also I study the market of ISO, in which it is also quite good to raise X.

by 2018 i will not just hold a coin like bitcoin, i will hold some alt like ripple and cardano. This is a great opportunity for coin lovers online, if not now when else you have to collect coins while again cheap and sell when exorbitant prices, such as BITCOIN which has reached a very high and expensive exchange rate in 2017 ago.

Just look at the top 10 coins and I'm sure that you will get a clear picture as what coins is good at holding long term. Because I don't think that those coins will lost its value overtime, on the contrary, it can gain significantly in 2018. however, there are a lot of altcoins/tokens which is a good investment as well. That's where doing homework and research for a potential coins comes in. We look at projects and see if they have a bright future ahead and it makes sense to invest it today when the price is still cheap. I wouldn't say what altcoins/tokens is good for investment though, because I may suggest a coin that might go down instead. So do your thing and make the proper judgement.

In my opinion, this present year is the year of holding of the coins irrespective of the coin which you have bought because of the reason that the market value of the crypto coins is not that much good that one should go for selling of his coins. It is far better to hold your coins and do not panic no matter how bad the market situation is and wait for the right time to make this decision.

Now days, when most of the altcoins provide the ability to create a private key offline, I think that there is no reason that we should be storing our private keys online, a thing that may lead them to get revealed in public and get stolen, we should never reveal our private keys online, and all the transactions that we are making should be signed offline, to be later broadcasted into the network( without revealing the private key to public).

If you are storing bitcoins for the long run, you should either be doing that by a hardware  wallet or by generating private keys offline and then storing the keys on a usb flash drive that is not connected to the internet.

Dynamic address generation., offline private key as you said, 2FA, Wallet seed are the encryption way to make the wallet more stronger. Please do not think your bitcoin or alts will be stolen. If you are good at securing your money.
There would not be able to see the bitcoin price bumped good in the market.
Better we go think about it instead replying for these kind of wasted queries mate. Good luck.

Already we have seen market is kept increasing and decreasing in terms prices and market cap. So it is always to hold the coin until your desired target prices are reached. I hope 2018 is another best year for holding the coins to get more benefit and profit.

Things are very much unpredictable in the world of the crypto currencies and that you can’t be sure about anything no matter how good the things are. You just need to be sure that you are doing your best and that you have opted the best possible coin for the sake of investing money and that you should hold that coin for as long as you can because this will help you in having more earning at the end.

At the moment from beginning no one is in loss but is in huge profit who hold any good coin for long term including bitcoin and Ethereum so i will personally suggest to hold altcoins like XRP, NEO,IOT,DGB,TRX etc for long term not for short term and must hold till NOv 2018

Thank you, this is useful information for beginners.

It’s probably up to every thought or plan at all. Maybe some makes a decision through belief, but some holds , it’s just because they feel like more safe to hold it. As I see that most of people now are having a trend to hold when the fluctuation has fallen off  because maybe they don’t want to lose too much. Also do I think that holding is much more better in anyway, because the crypto market is well-known for it volatility. Thus if you sell, you probably will not get as much benefit as you hold for long term.

Sometimes one just has to turn off their computer and go do something, anything else. Go do a healthy hobby that will get your body moving and take your mind off of crypto, do anything non-crypto related that brings you joy. This will give people a good balance to making level-headed decisions and not overwhelm themselves and miss something bc their heads in it 24/7. In addition to that, it mostly comes down to mindset once you believe in the coins just knowing I'm not going to cash in until X days/months/years and playing a mean poker face in the midst of all the fluctuation. One of those upcoming companies that I'm gonna be holding in my deck is this first arbitrage exchange, they're onto something check it out. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085831.0

For those who took the advantage of buying any of the coins at dips now, I am sure they must already be in profit which is always one of the first ways to start holding coins at the beginning of the year. I do not believe there is any coin that does not have growth potential which is one of the reasons I believe there would still be possibility of much profit, but the thing is to know how long to keep holding or when to be out of it as they will always have their season with the bulls as well as with the bears and that is one thing we cannot take out.

That is right, but i think that it is not possible for a new comer to identify the correct place for investment, although it is always right to invest your money in dept, but it is also too much important that you must know the place where you investment can be more safe and secure, for this you need to do study regularly and identify the right place for your investment.

What most people are not understanding with altcoin is that they are more like a speculative instrument which is more like in and out all the time and most people are only use this medium to increase what they are holding in the long run which is something no one should place so much of their mind on unless they are just so sure of the coin they are holding to have an extremely explosive future with respect to growth.

As long as it is making money for them, shit or not, you will just find people trading them for profit (short term) ?

Now only the market is return to normal, it means the price of bitcoin and other coins is in increasing mode. No one knows which coins is to be hold for this year. In 2018 we can't predict the coins which one is best to hold. All coins shows their good growth nowadays. Always bitcoin is the best coin to hold for long-term as well as short-term. At the same time other coins such as Ethereum, NEO, Bitcoincash, Cardano, Waves,Ripple, litecoin. These are promising coins in the coinmarkecap and shows their good growth nowadays. Invest in these coins also gives more benefit when you hold it for long term.

Since we cannot see the future anyway. Some coins will do better than the others and the only thing we have is just to know when we should be out and when we should still be in based on how volatile the market can be.

Every year, we have always experienced some bull run with the altcoins and I am sure this is another year we will definitely get to see another one but the thing is to always be prepared for it, and know that you are not holding a shit coin irrespective how tempting the profit may want to be.

Holding on good coins for long term is a profitable one, especially with bitcoin and ethereum. Before you hold coins, you must understand the project and believe on it. Holding on is not easy, its a lot of patience and focus those who can stay for long will always be a winner in this market.

it is inividual on each coin. Somes are flatting for a long, somes are going tothemoon after ico...

If you do not have debts, loans, mortgages, and the money that you invested in the market is not the last, you do not worry about your funds - just wait for your money and enjoy the process.

All exchanges are now similar to banking structures - the real number of BTC and ALTs in at several times less than the sum of all users' balances. CMC shows only data from exchanges - in fact, the drawing volumes of virtual numbers. Large amounts of BTC 10k-100kk are transferred from the addresses of whales to the addresses of exchanges and back. What is the amount of transactions for 0.01-0.1 btc per day can only guess.

There may be volumes and prices quite different (and not only in dollars). In order to raise the rate, it is sufficient for whales to arrange a small deficit of BTC during FOMO (which we observed in December). Now clearly another goal is on the market - the creation of infrastructure and finished products / technologies. There is no more trust - no one wants a repeat of dotcoms.

The most interesting will begin when everyone starts to take out crypto-currencies from exchanges - then we learn the real value of the BTC. All you need is a part of the profit to be taken out to a cold wallet. If you are going to HOLD coins - taken out to a cold wallet. A deficit of coins on the exchange will raise the price.

Investing on the bitcoins is the best ever choice in my knowledge because it has been giving lot of profits who holds it in long term,but predicting that with altcoin is quite tough task because most of the altcoins prices are moving according to the bitcoin price movement then you we need to invest on then we can just invest directly on bitcoin to minimize the risk.

I do coming year and past year are best years for crypto currency and it will remain best forever,. Now bitcoin is increasing more and more in every market place, it is good to hold your bitcoin in wallet and never sell at panic price, at the end of 2017 price got a bit high and now again it is increasing so 2018 is suppose to be the best year for bitcoin just hold with patience and don’t sell at panic price.

Switch off your internet till the end of these years and don’t even look at bitcoin price and other related issues. This is the easiest way to hold your bitcoin in 2018. The price is growing and selling would be the worst decision if you make. Just focus on the money you will make in 2019 when the price will be more than $25k, then it will be easy for you to hold your bitcoin.

Asides your belief, I guess it is so much dependent on how much you expect the future of what you are holding to give you something tangible. A lot of people usually do not always know this and they just pick anything to invest in as long as they believe the profit is going to be there but they miss the part where it is always better to hold something that is sustainable than a pump and dump coin. At the tail of it all, it is dependent on the person in question.

If we look for serious investors then we must stick within bitcoin because bitcoin alone having the ability to keep on attracting some investors all the times. Most altcoins is still struggling with this part in my opinion.

Holding on good coins for long term is a profitable.Especially with bitcoin and ethereum. Before you hold coins, you must understand the project.Holding on is not easy.You must have a lot of patience and focus.Those  projects who can stay for long time.When the price will increasing then you sell.

You’re even taking more risk by holding all those little coins that can end up anytime. It’s best that you continue to hold Bitcoin and Ethereum, cause this one are sure to last for a long time and whenever the price falls, you will still have hope that it will go up the next year. Ever since I got into Bitcoin and crypto investment I have never used any other cryptocurrency except Bitcoin and Ethereum. Using others are taking risks.

This is the second time I’m coming across this post and my thought was what do you mean by how to hold Bitcoin in 2018, was there any changes that took place or what? Holding Bitcoin is still the same way as you used to do it before, just HODL and nothing else, and wait for the price to go up and you will make your profit.

Always holding coins for long term will give more profit than invest. If you want to hold, hold the coins Bitcoin,  Ehtereum. Because these two coins always good to hold. Other coins such as NEO, Ripple, IOTA these coins are upcoming coins and these are the high potential and promising coins in the market. Just hold these coins and wait with patience it will give more profit than you expect.

if you have much money you can buy ETH and BCH and then hold long term
if have not much money you can buy coin with cheap price ADA, XRP , XML stellar and more

What is Dogecoin and is it a good investment or not?, Should i Add Dogecoin to my Portfolio?, what do you think, if i take  DOGE for long term ,its good or not?

thanks ;D

You are right majority of people are asking this question these days but it think it is not very difficult to know the answer, bitcoin is very easy to hold, use wallet which will make it high and will keep it safe, nothing has changed the only thing that has changing is the price of bitcoin which is now increasing very high but holding is the same way to hold in blockchain wallet for long time.

In order to make a long-term investment and get more profit from this market, I think that investors should have a proper investment strategy by dividing the capital into several parts. Investment trends include: 30% hold, 30% ICO investment and 40% trade, this is a fairly reasonable allocation of funds that I have used and is quite successful at this time.

Good choice but for XRP I think it is not good, there is a bad issue for xrp so the price is decreasing.
eth is better for long-term trading, and has a great chance to continue to rise in the future.

Yeah you are right. It is the best idea to hold different coins because the fear of losing money will be reduced. Is one coin falls other will cover the deficit. And it will be the worst destiny that all coins drop at the same time. I also like this idea to hold different coins at one time. The earning option also increases by this way.in 2018 my options are BTC, Ripple and Liza.

Different people have different amount for investment. You have invested according to your available capital. I will invest according to my wish and so other people. You have done well because I am also not in favor to invest all money in one currency, because losing chances increases. Spread capital means to secure you from a huge deficit.

Already we have seen market is kept increasing and decreasing in terms prices and market cap. So it is always to hold the coin until your desired target prices are reached. I hope 2018 is another best year for holding the coins to get more benefit and profit.

If you don’t need cash money and can control your financial problems then holding bitcoin becomes easy. No need to sell bitcoin because no need for money. If the situation changes and you realize that now the price is very high and it will drop again in the near future then selling is good decision because investment in bitcoin mostly is for earning more and more money.

The only way to keep coins this year is to know the information about that particular coin.

No matter what coin will be much pretty good in the some next months of 2018 but bitcoin is still one which obtains the  highest demand and supply of people around the world. Everyone has their own way to do project in crypto market. These days, holding is actually a significant trend of most people. Personally, I think that holding is bisically the safest way which can help us reap a huge fruits If you have enough condition to buy bitcoin or ethereum, just buying and then holding it for long term, you will probably have chance to get a big benefit.

I think that it depends on are you ready to trade regulary on daily basis or you don't want to take risks of it:) If "Yes" than short-term and middle, if "no" just buy coins of perfect projects and hodl;-)

To hold the coins wait for the right time and use the ones that are high in price.

In my opinion all coins are better for investment. Coin is not a problem but the problem is patience. When you buy a currency especially low price coins you will have to hold them for long time because in the short rum they will not give you any profit. To make good profit holding for some time is mandatory. Wait more earn more is the theory of cryptocurrency.

I'm new to holding. Im holding right now LEDU, its my first ico. Its hard to do long term holding, but im giving my best because I trust in that project. Im gonna participate in some more ICOs in the future.

It depends completely on the market rates and that is how you must decide on this.

Very easy buy bitcoin and forget for few months. There are just 6-7 months in this year and I think that holding bitcoin for just few months is not difficult. People hold their coins for years to make good profits. Cryptocurrency investment is not for short term. It is for long term and if you want to make money from your investment you must hold your bitcoin for some time.

Various ICO projects available on the forum bounties, you may choose the good projects and invest on it and then you can go with participate to get the tokens after the ICO ends. I am not sure about LEDU.
If you want to get the profit invest on the potential altcoins which can grow well. When I want to connect with me on bounties. I always look for the manager who is part of it. I prefer, yahoo62278, aventhe, Hexah, Wapintar. These people always comes with the best ICO projects.

You may check DATECOIN project which you can find under my signature. I believe it has potential in Dating industry.

There has been hardly good results of the crypto currencies if we see or calculate it.

Why you going to analyze the ICO project which is not yet comes to market. I suggest you to check the top 50 altcoins on Coinmarketcap and then pick whatever coins have the good value growth on these times.
If you cheap rate altcoins are good according to your view, do not worry still go and buy it mate.
Check the complete price history and see how times it touches its own peak. This is enough to confirm the potential altcoins.

Holding needs not big experience or strategy we need just patience for some years if you do that you will be get a good profit and also some income every months.

I think that the best solution  of this year for that thing will be to use of so-called "cold" wallets like "Ledger" and "Trezor". They are very comfortable and practical. In addition, they detach themselves from the network.

I think this year is good for traders. Because it is so floating. This is good for traders but very bad for holders. I suggest you to believe holders gonna profit much more then traders.

Hodling coin for a long term can be really hard for most people, once the market move in the negative direction they start panic selling because of the fear of losing their investment. Doing proper research before investing and confidence in one's decision will help.

This is of course very helpful to me, I agree with what you write. It teaches us how to hold the coin for a long time. Patience will produce good results. If appropriate analyze the market.

Whenever I found a good coin, I split them to two. More than half of it will be for long term which I'll be holding for more than a year and then the small portion will be for the short term.

Best coins to hold for all time and any time is bitcoin. I would choose another coin as Ethereum. Both are good coins to hold for long term. Better invest in many coins instead of sticking wih few coins. Its advised not to stick with only one or two coins as at times it may lead to loose your investment.

You're right, I also think Etherium's good time ahead..I bought something for myself, There is a good profit at all....
thank you

There is no clarity on what coin to hold or sell as the market rates keeps on changing.

Best option for hold is buying more BTC/ETH and hold them till 2019. I'm kinda pessimistic about quick profits

Dating industry definitely has potential, I was also looking into that, but don't you think that peer to peer online education has a future? I checked out LiveEdu site, looked promising, that's why I decided to invest in it.

My friend, this is just what I want to prove to all.
Bitcoin is the most stable investment at the moment because it is followed by the entire market.

Holding your coin is a good decision because most of the time ai have observed that bitcoin’s price usually goes up during the fourth quarter of the year. Maybe because of christmas season. So if you hold a certain coin it has a big chances to gain profit by the year-end.

In this year, the market value of most of the crypto coins didn’t increase at a very much Signiant rate and that the market values of the crypto coins are still not up to the expectations of the people and that holding is the only thing which can help us in having a better earning in the future. you need to keep all your coins in your wallet and after that, there is no need to even think of this thing that you have any coin in your wallet.

I would not say it depends on the market rate but actually on the future worth and potential of what you are holding. This is the only way you can hold through anything believing that no matter what, with a recovery market, you are bound to get a good piece of the huge profit in the long run and this is what I believe anyone should always and generally be after most of the time.

It is hard to hold coins in any year, without proper understanding of what you are holding and only those who invest blindly usually panic easily.

Yes, it is difficult, but on the other hand where we can put money in 2018? In the bank -  it is not profitable, under the pillow - meaningless. The business now is very riskly and not anyone can do business.

I don't want to complicate things on my end so I just buy bitcoin and few altcoins and that's it. But as far as holding the best coins, for me it is still bitcoin. But my problem is that I can only hold for 6 months, Lol. I guess I have to dump some and take home the profits.

I really admire those investors who can hold for at least a year. Probably, they just bought a ton and just totally forget about it and just comeback after 1 year to check their investments.

As for altcoins, Ethereum is a good one to hold as well. Its currently above $700 and I'm pretty sure that it will reach another all-time-high this year, above $1200-$1500.

Yes bitcoin is best choice to hold for long time as much as possible I think same as last year price of bitcoin will rise at the end of 2018 so better if we keep on holding, don’t thing about selling it, at this stage as growing price is positive sign about bitcoin price, 2019 will be an year of bitcoin so I will just observe the situation if it will be suitable time to sell I will sell but if not then I will keep on holding my bitcoin safely in my bitcoin wallet for a few years to get a better profit.

I think the right strategy is to sell a part of your coins, when the price made 2x, than other part, when the price made 3x etc. So just sell your coins in parts

If you are planning for holding of the crypto currencies for an year or so, then I will suggest you to go for buying of the bitcoins and that do nothing but holding of all the bitcoins which you have bought for as long as you could because of the reason that doing so will surely help you in having some good earning at the end as the market value of the bitcoin is and will keep on going up in the future.

Bitcoins prices keeps on increasing and they are the best at their lows.

When the price low we should go and invest on the coin which has potential to bump bigger in the market. Most of the fails to invest on the correct time. I really would like to invest the fund on BTC and ETH all the time.
For the few weeks dump in the market. Already we are seeing the high mining difficulty from the people who ever mining ethereum. Now please invest your all fiat cash and make money out of it guys. Do not trouble yourself when the coins bumped back.

Holding is obviously suitable for long term investors and it is not like they have a better choice anyway. The only choice that could be better is to learn how to trade which would require some dedication on their path as well. However, the market generally is complex and if you want to be holding, you better want to be holding a potential coin with bitcoin being the top notch. As long as you have a guarantee that what you hold will give you something good based on its real life usage and demand in the long run, then it should.

Some sources of information Shows such a news, in which Mr. GOX again tries to sell more bitcoin on the market. Perhaps this served as another fall of the market, which is trying to stabilize with all its forces. No one can predict the state of the market until the end of 2018. But the situation looks pretty bad.

That's how you assess a coin, it's during their lows. I get why you said that they are at the best at their lows. It's a chance for everyone who refrain buying at the peak and know how to control their emotion.
This isn't only about holding but it's also about buying while you are holding but if you wish to hold during those low times, it's your preference and we have different strategies that we think is/are effective to us/individuals that allows us to make much.

To say bluntly, I don't like how this year goes. Cryptos are coming into real life with all there meetups and conferences, but price is just stabilazing and not rocketing. I feel like I will have to hold coins from 2018 till 2019.

Yes, bitcoin is the center of it all, but it does not have to be only bitcoin. It is important as an investor to always study the market and then be able to buy during those periods when the trend is switching up. A lot of people do not usually get to do this since they do not have the knowledge and would rather just buy and hold for the long term, but for those who can, they will always stand the chance of getting the best from their holding by trading it.

se trata de una moneda con una altísima fluctuación de su valor de cambio. Si bien actualmente se encuentra en una tendencia al alza (al super alza, podríamos decir), ha tenido períodos en los que ha perdido mucho valor, e incluso estos altibajos se repiten en períodos de tiempo muy cortos. Esto puede ser muy interesante para personas que deseen comprar bitcoins en el presente y venderlos más adelante, especulando con su valor. Si realmente el sistema sobrevive, es de esperar que las bitcoins ganen valor, especialmente cuanto más nos acerquemos al número máximo de monedas en circulación. Pero también hay que ser conscientes de que esto conlleva un enorme riesgo, al ser un experimento tecnológico-económico que prácticamente acaba de nacer.

HOW TO HOLD COINS IN 2018?

what ever year it is, there are simple thing to do.

1. invest in ICO or buy in market.
2. transfer in to wallet like MEW if it is ERC20 or NOEN if nep5
3. if you want to have more security, you keep it in offline wallet like trezor!
4. leave it there and forget you have it for a long time.

I see that your first one is right and it will be profitable. But we need knowledge. If only for storage then we need a purse. Or we can hold a long term coin such as BTC, ETH, NEO, XRP. We are the most potential currencies.

Yes now a day’s bitcoin is at increasing price and more investors are switching to bitcoin which is making the price very high so let it be high and increasing more and more, buy now and hold I am sure you will earn from it, same as 2017 price of bitcoin will rise once again at the end of 2018, so hold and don’t sell it till panic lower price is for buying not for selling it.

There are so many things which you need to consider before even getting into the world pf the crypto currencies and that choice of the right wallet where you will then be placing all your crypto coins is one of the most important thing which you need to study before making any kind of investment. Once you have made some choice, you then go for placing all your crypto coins in that wallet for as long as you want.

In my opinion Coins to hold in 2018 are security tokens and blockchain platforms thats  are fast and scalable. beside those utility tokens with that's provides divident can also be counted for long term hold.

I think to hold a coin we need the only one thing is patience level if you lose patient level then all are going wrong so follow this steps not only for bitcoin but also in other fields.

Why is that? You can just buy and dont think about them. Set yourself a time,  for example  two years, and that's it.

If we study the behavior of the different crypto coins since the time this year has started, we will not be able to see some good results as the market value of most of the crypto coins have only fallen but now, things are getting little better and that the market value of the coins is improving. You just need to buy some good coins and then do nothing but putting all of them in your wallet for as long as you could so that you can then manage to make more money.

Hi, only because the market colapsed after the too quick rise one, two or three ups and downs won't be enough to stabilise the market before it can heal in a normal rate. I think we will see those ups and downs for months. Furthermore you won't foreseen what difficulties arise if you fight the old powers and what chances may arise from big players finally jumping on the train.

If you look 10 years ago, what big players share the markets, look 50 years ago and IBM have had 70% market share...gone...windoes and yahoo....gone almost. There will be change but not without waves.

Your point of view as bitcoin is not only a currency you will have to be patience for but also there are a lot of jobs and investments that you will earn high amount of profit only by keeping patience and hold. Bitcoin is best currency for you if you are having patience and you go to hold your investment for long time, patience actually increasing your profit by protecting you from selling your bitcoin at panic so you earn more with patience.

On the experience of last year I can say that it is better to keep coins from 1 to 3 months. But this market is rapidly changing and you need to manage to adjust to it.

This marketplace is not for the faint hearted, this fact is what every trader must know and accept. Looking at the recent turn of events, the best approach to crypto is to hold for long term, day trading can get you burnt.

Last year we already showed that storing crypto currency can both increase your funds and reduce them.

Interesting thread initiated by mate Rydereee12 I really appreciate it and the other opinions are good too.
I share your same opinion I have also seen some coins that promised much in the Token Sale at the end of last year and so far this year the price of them remain very low. In short it is time to buy coins with a low price but how do we see their future? Some say that they depend on a great exchange (A large community wants to see its coin in BINANCE) so that the coins reach a good price.

It is still a mystery for me to see some coins that have lost their price more than 50% since Token Sale. Good projects with successful sale of tokens but with cryptocurrencies with low price.
What is the best strategy to follow? Hold is the strategy that we must still use to earn some profit.
I only hope for those projects that are working to handle the issue of volatility of cryptocurrencies and that promise to give us solutions in this regard.

I think watch the data on cryptocompare is a good idea. However, it require a deeper analysis to predict the right trend of the coin. And a good luck added!

If you are having a difficult time to hold your coins/bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency out there well for sure this thread is for you. There are so many ways to stay holding your cryptocurrency and it will benefit you in the future by having so huge rise up and having some profit out of it.

buy the coin or token you think have the best potential this year.
buy at low and store it on your wallet.
make sure you have the password and private key secured.
leave the wallet alone and open it on the 4th quarter.

I  think we should all coins for now in long term because cryptocurrency is far behind from its previous price so we must wait for the right time until our target price is reached before selling it.

Yes  we dont have any choice but to hold and  patiently waiting because its really a big losses of our investment if we force to sell all our coins while the market is very weak.

For me, I prefer to buy SFU and DTRC coins and invest for long term both coins are very cheap and the market value is  fast increasing after it introduce in the market.

I don't plan on selling coins back for fiat "for profit", I plan on holding until it increases in "purchasing power" and then using cryptos. I prefer the speed and anonymity of cryptos.

I think in purchasing power, not profit.

I think that this year we just have to watch and hold coins. There will be no huge growth this year, maybe there will be a downward slide.

That's true, make an extensive research about the coin if it has potential and there's a possibility for a huge growth if you hodl it for long period. There are coins that is only good for short term and some coins like btc that is ideally good for long term hold. Well it still depends on how you want your plan to go, take profit if your investment already earn and keep hodling if the market is declining to avoid further losses.

Market is changing but when it comes to the movement of altcoins, I really do not see anything changing that much as they are still in a way affected by bitcoin price movement and I do not want to be missing out on selling at a huge great price at the end of the day and thinking that the market will just be there sitting and waiting for me to take out profit when I should have. If you want to trade, then do so but be ready to learn and if you want to hold for as long as you can and miss out on those short terms as long as the trend changes, then be my guest.

Its really difficult to invest this year due to big fluctuation happened and some are selling their cryptocurrency investment to cut additional losses but for me I prefer to hold all my coins if the dropping of price will continue to occur. I must prefer to hold than to sell in very cheap price.

60% - BTC [Deposit]
40% - General Altcoins [Trade resource]

Trade with altcoins and convert trade profit to BTC  8)

This is my current strategy

As an investor I know it is time to hold than selling because price of bitcoin is increasing more so I have high patience and I am sure it will earn high profit for me at the end, when it was start of the year price was not so high but now it is very good and most of time keep on increasing so there is highly possibility to get profit at the end of 2018, so hold wait don’t think about selling.

You can create a list if you want to hold the coins in 2018. I will suggest you to buy altcoins and it will be 50% for Long Time altcoin hold and 20% Short time altcoin And the remaining 30% will be allocated for buying Bitcoin. The current time is a good time to buy coins because the market is down a lot. But it will be best to see the market's coins chart and research it. And decide from it.

Fluctuation can be taken as positive and negative both but I think for me it is the most positive and helpful feature of bitcoin, so buy when the price is low and hold it for long, let it be grow and then sell when you see price is now very high, so now a day market is getting red which means it is time to hold with patience and don’t sell till the end of 2018 so you will get surprise by so high price at the end of this year.

To hold coins it should be carefully selected and ensure its profitability because its very risky if we failed to choose the right cryptocurrency.

I think the best way to buy a removable wallet such as Trezor or Ledger and put coins there for a long time.

If you are ready to hold your coins for a year or so, then the very first thing which you need to do is that you must go for some safe wallet which can help you in keeping all your coins safe and that you also need to look for the coin which can then help you in having greater profit at the end of the day. The only condition is that you must stay patient and that you need not to get panicked.

   Hold with a purpose and time frame. Crypto market are so volatile we didn't know when it go up and down. If you hold coin both short and long term much better if you have a target price to reach so that you are aware if it reach that price you can now sell your coins and earn profit.

How to keep money in 2018 when investing in bitcoin. People fear the price of bitcoin drops in the past. Bitcoin experts predict that bitcoin prices will rebound later this year.

Risk is part of our life and we don’t need to be careless about it to choose coin, for me the best coin is bitcoin which gives me profit and saving,. Bitcoin as currency and as investment it never fail to support the users, Holding bitcoin no more an issue and it will increase more and more till the end of this year so to reach your expected profit you will have to hold than selling at panic and get lose. Use blockchain or any other suitable wallet to store your bitcoin in.

I will keep / invest long-term, and I will do treding if you're feeling well / not mind, this is to focus on the coin invested.
I suggest when you do treding you should see the comparison of sales and purchases if many who buy auto prices will rise, but if many sales will lower the price.

Well, it doesn't even change on how you hold it on a previous year. Holding bitcoin on 2018 doesn't even change a little on how you hold it wayback 2017, 2016 and so on year, the thing is how pesevere you are to hold it. Since, the price differs a lot wayback on the year 2017 compared to 2018. It might be bad for the price as of now but the price will definitely gain its last price and might break the record when the year passes by.

the year 2018 is now where bitcoin prices are falling and of course this is a challenge that all bitcoin holders must face. and I think now is the time when every bitcoin holder to stay patient and not panic in the face of the unfavorable market situation.

For now im only focused on the bitcoin in the cryptocurrency world.
So far im making business using mobile online games with bitcoin so i earned little by little in my profit. So as soon as possible im holding my coin as long as the flow of my business going strong.

If you have planned for holding of your coins, then you must make this thing clear in your mind that you must stay patient all the time and that you must keep a very good control over your emotions in all the possible situation and that you need not to get panicked. You must be sure that you are doing the right thing and that you are holding the right coin in the right wallet.

Falling and rising is the main thing in crypto currency as if today price of bitcoin will be down then it is very certain that tomorrow it will be more than double so hold with patience and wait, same as 2017 price of bitcoin will get higher at the end of the year 2018, I am holding using blockchain which has fine ability to store our bitcoin for more than 5 6 years without causing any trouble so I am holding and will not sell at panic so let the price be high more and more.

i think so ! that is good ideal  keep money now!

As an investor, you should always be ready to learn how to make the best of it most of the time, and you simply cannot do that if you do not at least have an element of trading trend following and taking advantage of the huge market fluctuations most of the time so as to sell at the top and buy back lower to have more position in the market.

Well, everyone is out to do what works for them, but in 2018, I am not sure going to be as stupid as I was last year when my whole folio hit $12k and now back to $1600, all in the name of HODL.

If you have managed to invest your money into bitcoin one way or the other, then you must trust the bitcoin and that you must keep your nerves in your control as bitcoin will never disappoint the ones who remained calm at tough times. Holding of the coin is a very good thing to do but for that, you must look for some safe wallet which can then help you in keeping your coins safe.

guys look out for sparkster ICO..it has very high potential in the market ...

i think you need to divert all your bitcoin investment  to other cryptocurrency which you think more profitable to invest.

This is a nice strategy that way you have no risk anymore to lose your money, one problem is that you are limiting your future profits buy it may be worth for some to try that strategy especially those that are not really sure to hold of the long term after all it is  a known fact that it is easier to hold your coins if you have profits than if you are losing money.

right now, im holding cardano from my loss back in march until now. i made myself clear to hold the coin because from what i have heard cardano is a promising coin out there. it has it own blockchain... in my decision making, members of this forum takes a big part of it.

People really want to earn from cryptocurrency but end up losing everything including their principal they invested all in the motive of holding the cryptocurrency. Before you invest and think of holding, u need to consider some qualities of the coin including the team managers, partners, the project itself and the likes.

2018 will be the year of outbreak of crypto:) Could be the end of the year

There are different types of the trading exchanges available which you can then use to buy different kind of the crypto coins and that there are so many different wallets too to keep your coins safe. All the wallets have their own pros and cons and that you must look for the wallet which seems more suitable to you and that you can only find once you have done enough of the research.

Better to see this link " https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/cardano/  "

As you can see, cardano is on the top/rank 7 on coinmarketcap.com, which is one of the most profitable alternative coins/token in crypto community. Don't worry too much about the negative percentage right now, because it's the nature of crypto currencies, a chain reaction when bitcoin goes down. It will affect others immediately folks, but the survivability is good in the current position.

in investing in the world of cryptocurrency or bitcoin we should be able to choose or make sure which coin is good for investment. whether you want a long term investment or you want a short term investment.
this is the same as your question, how long do we have to hold our coin?
if you have confidence in short-term investing you can buy coin ADA, XLM, AND XRP. I think this is a good coin and fast movement.
and if you want to invest long-term you can buy bitcoin, ignis, and also nxt.

Just keep waiting till the last quarter comes, just be balance, expect good and bad too. That is the nature of crypto currencies, we don't know what will happen in the next second on this crazy movement of crypto market. Be positive folks

Indeed, having cold storage such as trezor and ledger might be one of the good idea but it is still better if we will diversify it into two or more different wallet in order to prevent unpleasant things to happen and I do believe in saying that "don't put all of your eggs in one basket". It is better for us be ready before its too late isn't?

I would just add to diverse your portfolio - at least 5-10 coins. Avoid to have everything for example in ethereum or Bitcoin, and have some amounts in others too - depending if you would prefer rather have small profits, but sustainable (BTC) or higher profits at higher risks (ALTcoins). It is kind of dependable of what risk apetite do you have.

It doesn't even change on how you hold it wayback before. As I see holding bitcoin within a specific amount of time isn't as good as what you really think, because for me holding bitcoin or other coins existing depends on its individual price because if you hold it depending on the time scheduled to hold it then the market price drop, would you dare to sell it? For me it is a no because there will be no profit there and definitely you will only lose your money. So, that's my point.

I can not tell you how long you should hold your currency. The reason for how long the coin will be kept depends on your desire and exchange market conditions. If you hold Bitcoin or any other currency, then it should be left or sold in the market when the price of that currency increases. If the price falls, then do not sell your currency for a few days, wait for the price to rise one time. Only then will you benefit. Hope you understand my opinion.

I think that today that's better to diversify tokens and coins on the exchanges and at the same time on the wallets like Ledger or Trezor.

Everyone has his own choice and that he invests his money into the coin which suits him the most. It is then his own hard work and the personal efforts which then help him in making of some good earning at the end of the day. I will suggest you go for wither bitcoin or any of the altcoin and then keep on holding that coin for some good time as this will then help you in much better way than any other coin.

Thanks for the link, but there is another topic for discussion here. Anyway, thanks.

Yes it is not very easy to make right predictions about price of bitcoin but according to market situation we can make it right to some extent, right now bitcoin price is not very much high but if we take look of increasing and acceptance graph we will see how nicely bitcoin is moving so I am sure price of bitcoin will be good at the end of 2018 and having patience till then can expand our profit very high, I think it will be highest this year so hold and selling now would be panic selling so hold it with patience.

Well, it totally depends on everyone as the whole HODL idea is just over stated most of the time. Sure, hold until you get to see some huge movement, but I do not want to be holding, then, the market starts doing great and still holding when the trend is changing for most of those alts.

That is an absurd mistake which i would not even be making again this year. Hold coins by buying at the dip and monitor their trend in the market and sell them when it changes.

Patience becomes a very important point in maximizing ourselves to do a holding coin. With patience then we can get a chance to be able to get a good momentum in reaching for profit. This is a very appropriate way to use when we feel confused, therefore we can avoid panic. Wait until we get a good momentum because then we will get maximum results.

Yes not every person think the same some hates bitcoin and some really love it, I am bitcoin lover and I invest every year in bitcoin to get my money high, it is time when we are using bitcoin at payment and some are using to start business but I think the best business could be the holding of bitcoin as buy low, hold with patience and sell high price so I am going to support bitcoin to hold for long time so have patience and keep on holding.

Always a way to go. Buy the altcoins at the dip and when they start doing well and they are giving the good boost, you can just simply convert them eventually to bitcoin as I have known from the little experience I have had over the years now, that the best time to always watch out for is the FOMO run in altcoins, and that I do not want to miss at all this year by just simply holding and missing out on a huge profit at the end.

study historical data for previous years . in December , many coin prices will rise sharply . this rule cannot be applied to the future . i think the best strategy is to hold some quality coins . wait for it .

If you take the time to read the forum one of the most common advices is that you should not hold new coins for a long time, the only coin that everyone agrees is a good long term hold is bitcoin, some other members advice holding some of the altcoins at the top, but holding new coins coming from icos is not really recommended, now if you are lucky you could make a fortune in that way if you pick the right coin but that is incredibly difficult.

That is a must and I do not expect anyone to actually go outside this rule. The market is very volatile and most especially the altcoin market which makes it a market one need to be careful before investing so much in. Asides this, knowing the potential of a coin or token based on knowledge and not by assumption is always the thing that helps anyone hold it no matter the current market situation. It is not everyone that can trade, and as long as you cannot, better to hold, buy some more at dips and look forward to the long term. That is all that matters.

I believe that alts are always a good way to get some pretty good profit, but at the same time, they are also a good way to be losing so much in the market if care is not taken. A lot of them if not all, moves based on how bitcoin market moves and they only do well during bitcoin consolidation which I always try as much as possible to take into perspective before making any market decision.

In my opinion better to search the market first before investment in cryptocurrency because there are more than 1000 crypto in the market and many of them became scam when they have no market cap. Converting to Ethereum is better option and you can make handsome money from Ethereum in the near future. Do not sell your coins in this day.

I also thank you for giving this link. I think that many cryptos have big potencail and the price if these currencies will grow ore in the near future. In my opinion holing is not difficult. If you do not need money for your daily expenses then forget about your investment in crypto for some time. Almost half year is going to end and there are just 6 more months in this year.

Yes for sure holding bitcoin is the best thing that w use to do, no coin can be better than bitcoin for holding and selling later on high price, when we get chance bitcoin should be buy at low and then hold bit with patience for long time, I am sure same as last few years price of bitcoin will be highest till the end of year 2018, mostly price increase at December or November there months are best for mining as well.

If you want to hold your coins, then before doing any other thing, the first thing which you need to do is that you must make yourself understand this thing that you must stay patient under every kind of circumstances and that you need not to lose your control over your emotions. Look for some safe wallet and then put all your coins in that wallet and then wait for the time when the prices will rise high.

Technical analysis is not the most important factor, it only helps us to know the most appropriate point. As a result you have bought a lot of pennies at a very good price.

Not just you and it has shown already that the bears are still so much in the ADA picture as it is and there is nothing guaranteed yet. This whole market is extremely volatile and the alts most especially should not be totally invested in without at least making sure you are not investing at the top and you are indeed buying probably from the bottom or when there is a very good signal.

The bears still are in play with ADA and not a good time to even hit the market. Instead of struggling with different stocks and markets, after getting into cryptos, I find may improvement with my trading and investments. I must think about more time efficient way of making good returns rather than just holding.

many days different news about what coin is good to do, always tell Tron, Ada, or whatever coin there, but for the better to hold Bitcoin, then news can be increased but In the long run, it is best to choose what we want to invest in if we think it can be lifted.

hold to die forever !!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Bitcoin and ethereum are the good coins to hold this year. The price of these two coins are now very low. So buy these two coins and hold it for long term. These two coins are with high potential and promising coins in the coinmarketcap. Other altcoins are also good to hold just select the growing coins in the coinmarketcap and invest on those coins. But altcoins will take time to get profit. But this not happen in the bitcoin holding for long term or short term the benefit will be more.
 

Exactly you must know anything can happen in bitcoin as price can be high price can be low but you will have to have patience and hold it, most of new users sell when they see the price is falling down, which is not good way of dealing with crypto currency so buy when the price is at low and sell when it will be high one again, so as you are going to hold make your determination strong that I will hold not matter what the situation will come.

Holding of the coins is not that much difficult thing as most of us think of it to be. The only thing which matters the most is your own personal interest and the knowledge which you have regarding the coins which are most suitable for holding and other than that, your patience level. You can do that quite comfortably but for that you must choose some strong wallet and that you must hold some good coins.

I think the time to hold coins depends on the target and finances of each person. If you have the capital you have the psychological comfort should hold on more than 1 year (the longer time - the profit may be higher), in contrast to the less capital you hold coins in the downtrend markets, you look up and down the price is too heart attack and stress (not good at all).

Let's break out the capital. Hold the coin top

I must say that you should go for holding of the coins to get richer and that this is the only thing which can make you earn lot more money and that too without even putting lot of efforts. The only thing which you need to take care of is that you must stay patient and that you must keep on holding your nerves so that you may not end up making wrong decision at time of dump.

You can hold some alt coin and some ETH I will suggest ETH and some alt coin. I will buy some alt coin and some buy bitcoin i am sure market will be change and grow price. Now you can buy CMT, STEEM, ETC , ETH and some buy coin after future it will be big profit from this. So you can buy this coin.

Well, good for you. The main idea is your belief in what you are holding anyway and that makes it easy to hold through any storm and as long as a project is solid, the potential gain is still solid in the long run. One thing for sure is that ADA is a good one to hold and there is no doubt about that, but it has actually shown some pretty huge bearish move lately in the short term. For the long term however, it is a good hold and your belief is what would pull you through, even in the entire bear trend.

Holding good and well established coins will not make anyone not to hold their nerves. Only those shitcoins will cause such a problem as dumping drastic are just part of its cycle always.

Holding now a day is surely not a big deal mate, if you look into the market you will find a lot of wallets working for the betterment of bitcoin, 2018 is well developed year for bitcoin and I am sure bitcoin will be higher than this with profit if you keep on holding it, use blockchain and paper wallet in this purpose, those who wane sell will be panic seller for sure.

holding any coin is hinged on your believe of the project. not a big deal to hold if you're certain you invested in the right coin. Altcoins are definitely the best hold for me

Another example of coins that you do not want to hold very long or not worth of holding is those that says they give "passive income". It's too stupid to believe on that by just generating or minting coin and most of investors of you are doing that.

If you do not need money for your needs and can overcome your financial problems without the need of selling your coins then you will be able to hold your coins for long time. But if you need money and you don’t have enough to survive without selling your holding then it is not necessary to hold because all investment and earnings is for better and problem free life.

I think that only those people who will really believe in the crypto-currency and will wait a long time - will make money. Everybody wants to earn right now. It does not happen!

As much as I know bitcoin will be high so nothing is bad in it to hold it, I choose bitcoin for myself as saving of future, it will be good if you keep on holding without losing your patience and your hope, as much as time passing bitcoin is increasing in worth and price, so keep on holding experts have announced bitcoin as high price currency in future, I think price will be more than double at the end of 2018.

Holding coin is the secret of many people who are rich now a day, it takes nothing but get you high amount of profit, we just need to have guts and determination t hold our coin and later on sell it high, I have decide not to sell my coin as my co worker has become rich now and making his own business only because he bought some coin in 2015 and sell it at the end of 2017 so I am too gonna hold this time.

In my opinion, holding of the coins is not at all a big deal and that this is something which you can do quite comfortably. The only thing which you need to do is that you must make some proper planning before going for that like that of the choice of the coin in which to invest your money, the trading exchange which you will use and the wallet in which you will then put your coins and that time for which you will place those coins in your wallet.

You need to have faith and you know its worth and it's a potential gem. I guarantee that you can't hold for a year if you only bought because of HYPE or FOMO. It must have the biggest reason that you will remind you not to sell it even it is down.

Either invest in the top coins so that even if you hold for years you are sure it will yield you a very good returns and can make your retirement life easy.  Do not hold coins which are worthless or you get generally in airdrops as most of those have no value as those are free coins.

To hold a coins is depend on your belief, if you know it well you will hold for sure. Like for example Xem/Nem this alts is one of the coins which is good to hold in long term.

Yes of course all of us are using digital currency to earn money and we can earn good amount of profit from it well, bitcoin is the basic need of the era, we should be active for making investment as blind investment can spoil our guts for holding, so everyone is looking for profit I think it is best time to earn when bitcoin is famous all over the world holding is key to success.

It is also good to view technical analyses on regular basis so that you will be able to buy coins on the right time and on low price. When you buy coins leave it for some time and the best way to hold your coins is to set a period for yourself that in this time I will never think about my coins. after that you can check the price and take your next decision about selling or holding.

Very easy buy bitcoin and forget for few months. People hold their coins for years to make good profits.It is for long term and if you want to make money from your investment you must hold your bitcoin for some time!!!

Let's divide the property out to hold the [Suspicious link removed]d:)

I think this is not good question because if I want to hold coins I will never ask anybody how to hold. It means that you do not know anything about crypto and are wasting your time in this forum. Don’t you know how to hold coins? buy and forget about it is the easy way for you to hold coins in 2018. You should ask something relevant about crypto future.

Holding crypto is easy when you don’t need cash money for your daily needs. If you have invested extra money then you can hold your coins for long time but if you have no extra money for your financial needs then you cannot hold coins for long time because when you need money you will to sell your coins. Better to invest extra money in crypto.

I'm beginning trade in binance and buy BNB coin at price 10$. Now i hold to 2020. I love binance.

I do not have an idea if you have been in this planet for long, but if we are really to calculate except for those coins and tokens just hitting the market from ICOs, I would say there has been tremendous results over the years and except you do not know how to go back into history.

You may want to consider the level of percentage at which some coins have really grown hugely over the years before even coming to say this. If you believe in the potential of what you are holding, then you will hold no matter what and not bother about the present. That is how to hold!

holding a coin depends on our needs, if you want to have a high profit then you have to hold the coins as long as possible, because by holding long then the high profit you will get ...
but I suggest do not hold it too long, if you want to make a profit, better little but often ...

Divide the property out hold the coin well: ADA, XRP, NEO....

It is all about patience and about faith of holding; if you will not lose your trust about bitcoin nation I am sure you will not lose anything in crypto investment. Not only is our patience it important to hold it for long term. Without holding we cannot make earning. So buying now is the best way of getting profit and after that you will have to hold at least till the end of 2018.

I think those investors who want to sell their bitcoin so they should hold till the end of 2018 but those investors who want to secure their future and they have no needs so they can hold their bitcoin for long term as like many years because it will very beneficial for them and also for their family, because in future bitcoin price will highly increase and that's why its profit will also big.

The criteria to assess a coin:
1. General information about that coin
2. The purpose of generating the coin
3. The dev team (do more or say much)?
4. What is the current product? In what stage?
5. Are there existing customers? Potential customers?
6. Vision of future coin? Is it realistic or just expressed in words?
7. Scalability?  Can it be accepted by the public? Is it possible to apply to everyday life?

Thank you for this, will evaluate coins using this.

indeed there are many ways to assess the criteria of coins as you say, but in the current market conditions like that continue to decline, it will be difficult to do that. more secure or possible to hold coins have pretty good potential like ethereum.

With what's happening with crypto now, I'm not quite sure it's still a great idea to hodl. I held XVG, ADA and Ethereum. I've lost more the 70% on XVG and ADA. I think the most reliable is Ethereum as the price fluctuation are not so volatile compared to the rest. The best option in my opinion is to trade and buy the dip when the market is down. That way you can make some profit, sell and your initial investment still stays. It's more reliable.

If you got me right, it is not about saying it is completely difficult as I added a clause to that. As long as you have a proper understanding of what you are holding and you believe in its future.

Basically, it would be easy for you to hold even with all the fluctuations and proper understanding does not have to do with just the coin but also your pattern of investing as well, which I believe every sane investor should know that buying the dip is always the best.

That is obviously a good selling strategy but everyone sure do know what strategy works for them best anyway. However, this can only be applicable to those who are actually trading or looking forward to the long term trading most especially when there is a huge FOMO in the market.

Every market always encounter the time when they end up having a huge correction and it is always important to always sell when everyone is getting greedy.

It depends on demand, I mean of you need money and you have only cryptocurrency and no cash in your hands then you will have to sell your coins to overcome your financial requirements, but if you do not need money and can pass your time with your regular income then you should forget your coins for some time. When the price grows and you realize that now I can make handsome profit then you can sell your holding.

If you want to hold how these currencies are stable to make your money as investment bro. I advice you to keep the fund on the Tether and even you can see the exchange directly accepting the USD option to hold the fund for your safety mate.
So those coins are really well to hold for your price stablity. if you invest and make money go to btc and eth which is really low now.

Bitcoin will very good way for investment because bitcoin is a trusted currency and the king of all crypto currency, so that's why bitcoin is much better currency for investment and then you will hold it for at least 2018 but if you can hold it for long term as many years so it will more profitable for you.

You are right for your own opinion but I have a bit different thinking as I think bitcoin is the best currency to hold now a day, we should buy and hold bitcoin than making any other investments, holding of bitcoin is safer and easier, ETH now a day it getting lower so buy the bitcoin now and hold it, we have a lot of options but the best one is bitcoin for sure so hold bitcoin 2018 is going to be the year of bitcoin for sure.

If you want to make money from crypto you will have to hold your coins in this year because this year is not good for investors so far and many have lost their money due to fall in the price. But we should be optimistic about the bright future of crypto and all the deficits will be recovered in the near future but till that time you will have to hold your coins.

How to hold is easy but how to earn from holding is not easy. Buy and forget about your coins till the end of this year. You will have your coins in next year. But if you want to make more money from your holding, then you should trade on daily basis. It is not easy but more profitable than just holding. No doubt that holding will also give you profit but it will take long time.

Many investors think that the price will grow more till the end of this year. I hope so, but it is not guaranteed. The price may down more and bitcoin holders may lose their investment. Let’s be optimist about the good times in the future for bitcoin price. till that time forget about your holding and never think of selling.

I believe 2018 will be huge for cryptocurrency, the present challenges notwithstanding. in my own opinion however, the price of BTC may never get to ATH, at least not anytime soon.

Hence, i believe altcoins like XMR, TRX, EOS are a good hold, at least for the next one year

For this period the best way to hodl is to swing trade. Buy the dip and fling at any sign of pump

Hodling can be tough just because most of us lack patience and want instant gratification.

I am holding until the winter,  just because of tax purposes.   But I might continue to hodl for who knows how long.    I've decided I would rather hodl my investments to zero than sell off early and find out I could have made a life changing amount of money.


The hardest part is trying to forget about your investments, but still staying in the loop with development and need to update wallets..etc.   It tends to suck you back in to a short term mentality.

Let's manage your capital, really good. Split money out hold the top coins

It's a good time to buy.
Hidden in the long-term downtrend trend is short-term growth. You should divide the account, part to hold good coin, part to trade. Can try margin. That is a good way to increase profit at this time.

Let's DCA the good coins and focus on routine work.

  Trading daily has good profit but it is riskier than holding, for trading daily you will take risk and will spend a lot of time checking market, taking risk, so I think to hold a coin we need only the patience level if you lose patience then all will be wrong but ig you will keep on holding with patience then trust me bitcoin has potential to make you milliner within couple of months, you will just have to hold till perfect time for selling.

I think the whole crypto market is passing from bearish trend and the market is in fact giving a very good opportunity to people to do investment in crypto currencies to make a good profit, but you only have to choose a potentially good crypto currency which have more chances to increase its price and which can give you a very good profit after some time.

Hodling may have been a good strategy in 2017 but it is definitely not in 2018. All of us who didn't learn enough about trading got rekt, and many keep doing so. It won't change unless bitcoin goes for another bull run.

Yes, it is giving very good opportunity to people who want to invest in cryptocurrency, everything we need some time because within short of time we cannot make profits. Meanwhile when the market starts recovering it is always good to research the good potential for investing and start holding them in the desired wallets until the price starts increasing.

if you have invested in projects that you know are solid and will probably succeed in the long term, simply hold your coins. The market will recover sooner or later...

In general we should hold long term ETH. There is no reason not to profit from it.

Yes, if we only just hold and wait for the right time to recover theres no reason of not earning a good profit so i suggest to keep on investing on it because anytime this year cryptocurrency will be known again as the most profitable investment.

Yes we should buy as much as possible because bitcoin gives us profit and earning bitcoin is best way of gaining money just with holding patiently, it is only because bitcoin is volatile by nature and it never have the same price of investment and selling so try to buy if you see price is low now, because price is predicted to be high more than 30k at the end of 2018.

I think I'm still not at the right price I'm thinking of losing bitcoin but I think it's going to cost a lot more and lots of hold altcoins but I think it will increase in the next 3 months.

Hi
Bitcoin can hold in many ways. In wallet is the best thing to it.

If you look at the chart of the previous year, and the graph of this, we can see that now is the time to buy cryptocurrency and wait until it rises. And the growth will, I'm sure.

It is about holding the coins right not able investing money on coins bro. I see the investors really want to go with good coins since the volume and price getting reduced everyday. I understand every one getting panic to invest their fund.
For that you can at least hold the fund with you. You will not be vanished out bro.

If we see a different coin now they have a scam coin and potencial coin., we all dont know.. But wait until your token have a high value... Hold it until it going to the moon

Just hold it as you were holding in the past few years there is nothing special to hold in this year as the logic goes same if you hold longer you will be making higher profits and it will be the same in next few years too so if you have good volume of coins in your wallet just keep it on hold and wait for the best time to sell when you see satisfactory price on the charts and if not continue to hold without getting panic.

buy the coin or token you think have the best potential this year.
buy at low and store it on your wallet.
make sure you have the password and private key secured.
leave the wallet alone and open it on the 4th quarter.

indeed many people believe that by the end of 2018 bitcoin will pump high, the best decision for now that is by holding bitcoin and some can be used to be more developed by doing short-term trading to get a little profit

It's hard to answer the question "How long should we hold coins?". This depends on the project that you are holding token and what the price did you buy into?. If they have a good project then maybe 1 to 2 years to you can get profit.
However, it's also appurtenant the market. as we see this post made on April 27, 2018 and if someone has held all altcoins since April to now then maybe they was lost more than 50% their capital even more. So i'm assertive that " Holding altcoin or Bitcoin when the market is on downtrend, is bad idea".

How to hold coins in 2018? It is still the same, the way to hold it then just still do it if how you are doing it currently. If you have other job and earning bitcoin is just your extra income, then it is easy for you to hold all your bitcoin because you have the income that you can use for your daily needs.

I make it easier. I take coins, I wait for their growth x3, I return the deposit, get a profit, and I leave 30% for an indefinite period. This is what concerns the long-term.

Divide the assets out of DCA: ADA, NANO, XRP, ETH.

This year's market is unpredictable. Previously, if the predictions from experts said that, this year is the time the crypto market fluctuates most powerful. And that has shown to be somewhat accurate at this point. Market trend goes up / down fast. In addition, FUDs occur constantly affecting the user psychology. If you pass this stage. Hold is still the simplest way to boom this year or the next.

Yes, the way how you hold before just do it again. I mean is doesn't matter on what kind of holding you make but the most important is don't spend any of your holding until it goes back to its price. I you have any way of earning like signature campaign you should use a little bit portion of it for your expenses.

DCA Top 10 coin: XRP, Neo, EOS,v.v.

Correct!
Now that is sure the best and easiest way to avoid risks when investing.

You can focus on your work better when you have no tension of losing your money in crypto. If you want to forget about your holding then you should invest for long time and don’t at the price every day. By this way holding for you will be easy and when the price grow higher after a long time you can sell your holding to make some profit. That is the way to hold your coins.

Well you are right we should hold our coin because the price of coin is getting high day by day soon price of coin will moon high, on the experience I had during my journey with different coins, it is good to keep your coin for 2 to 3 years (but if it trust worthy), as market is going to be change till the end of 2018, so you need to deal your coin according to the market situation, wait and let your coin get high in price.

I am one of them I truest bitcoin that soon the price of bitcoin will get better with holding it till the end of 2018, but I think it is better to hold your coin for long term, because day trading or short term trading needs a lot of skills and a lot of time to become expert, try to trade for long term it will give you good profit have patience till the end of year you will earn good profit.

I think we should buy coins now. This is a good time to buy more coins. Hold for 3 months and take profit in December.

I think that bitcoin price is currently less volatile than last year. It means a lot of people are holding bitcoin very still and not gonna sell it no matter what (like myself). So, right now, new investor will only invest slowly into cryptocurrency because they are scare and not sure about the market movement. When it reaches a stage when most people think: "It will plunge again sooner or later?", cryptocurrency price will surpass last year high :).

PS: I will hodl Bitcoin until it reaches 35-40k :)

2018 is a very volatility year for cryptocurrency.
if you think that the coin has a great potential of having the peak this year. all you need to do is to hold that and buy more once fall.
But, there are some coins that creating waves in the ocean of the red sea.
we should do buy and sell on that one. you just need to be careful though.

Holding with patience is one of profit making tool, bitcoin in 2018 is the best choice to hold for long term, because I am sure same as the last year price of bitcoin will be high, so it is better to keep on holding, no need to think about selling it, now growing number of investors is a positive sign about price of bitcoin, so same as last year 2019 will be bitcoin best year, so I am going to hold till suitable time for selling.

I think bitcoin coin price go to high in 2018.  I hope bitcoin price suddenly pump in july.  any coin get you buy and take it your private site or wallet and whenever it price goes to up then you should not hold it instant sell right now.

It is all only because of bitcoin fluctuating nature which can be taken as positive and negative both, for me fluctuation of bitcoin is quite natural and it is really helpful for us, so try to collect some trust worthy coins as you have mentioned and then hold them for long term, holding is best thing to make profit specially in current situation when price is not higher enough, soon we are going to see price more than double but once again I would suggest you to hold with patience.

Yes i also have the same expectation from bitcoin, bitcoin is trading too much low for a long time but now the time is that its price will start taking increasing its price, now people are showing their interest in bitcoin and therefore i think that in next few months the bitcoin price will once again trading above 20k, so holding bitcoin in current will be a good decision.

I don't know why so you find not enough time for the technical analysis - I consider that he needs to find much more time.
About news - a controversial issue whether it is worth being based only on them?
Perhaps, it is required to choose just 10-15 coins (watching, how many at you time in a week) and to choose news only about them, I think that it will be enough

The bitcoin price in 2018 is very decreasing and decreasing to reach the lowest price .. and the most appropriate choice is to hold it and wait patiently for bitcoin to be expensive again .. and until now I hold bitcoin do not know Until when but I will still wait for the increase price ..

Download software or hardware wallets, buy coins, go withdraw the coin to your wallets. Keep them safe and sound. Hold for 5+ years. Open back the wallets and get your profits.

It will be good time to sell your coin if you find the price of bitcoin getting high, everyone want to get profit so if they will find the price of bitcoin getting high so surely they will be agree to sell it, but I think instead of selling in July, it will be good to sell at the end of 2018, now a day we can bitcoin has started to rise and it will be more than 20k for holding it till the end of 2018.

The market has so much volatility and Bitcoin is being overwhelmed by many investors but for me at this moment the cryptocurrency market is very reasonable. If investing in Bitcoin at this time, the risk is the lowest and the chance for Bitcoin to increase sharply at the end of the year is huge.

This year's 2018 is good for TRX, ADA, XVG and XRP or another popular currency that is falling right now, because I think they will be raising the bitcoin this 2018.

A good and complete explanation, I like to read your writing, can motivate me to be more thorough and careful when I decide to invest, sometimes seeing falling prices makes me want to give up and leave it. But I realize, it will not be possible this coin continues to fall, there must be a time to rise again. I'm sure of that.

What is the basis of the analysis, why did you choose these coins?
Coins without a working product, thus I do not see here the prospects, only speculative growth!

Yes its price will again high and if its price continuously fall so it will rapidly high and that's why you should never be panic and hold it for its high price and be patience, so if you want to hold your coin for urgent need so you should hold it for 2 months in 2018 and that's why you can hold it till the 2018 because its price will more high and profitable and you can do everything in its profit.

Also invest what you can afford to lose otherwise you will be always looking at your investment and the minutes the price goes down, you are tempted to sell it and may suffer a lost. 2 months is just a short period, in my opinion, I think you should hold on it at least for the next 6 months and see how your investment grows or not. Its really tough to just hold on your coins, that's why we always says that we need a lot of focus and not be emotional.

It is very easy to hold your bitcoin in 2018. Forget about your bitcoin investment till the end of this year and never try to look the price of bitcoin or Altcoin. Don’t think of profit and loss and show that you have never invested in cryptocurrency.

This will be a big surprise for you when you look the price in 2019. If you are lucky you will be millionaire, if not then forget about your coins forever.

Hold with a purpose and time frame. Crypto market are so volatile we didn't know when it go up and down. If you hold coin both short and long term much better if you have a target price to reach so that you are aware if it reach that price you can now sell your coins and earn profit.

In my opinion the coin TRX, XVG, XRP, ADA will have a promising future in 2018. I spent a lot of time to find out the general information about those coins. I also hold some ADA and TRX coin I hope they will boom later this year

YEah it's true the market is so volatile it's to tell if it will move up or down... even when trying to use strategies it doesn't always work either. But then you can make profit out of volatility. If you are holding guess all you can do then is assess, see what is value for hte coin then hold onto it until your specified exit point. Either way you have to always do your own research and this is not financial advice.

At the end of 2017 the value of bitcoins reached at the highest position. No one expected such types of growth of bitcoins.  It was really unbelievable .It continued at the first two months of 2018. But after few month later and the mid of 2018 it started to decreasing instead of increasing. It is expected after few month later or at the last of 2018 the value of bitcoins will be high position again. So stay with market.

This is really a good idea we should forget about our investment for long term so it will not make us sell early to gt better and high profit, holding is the best choice for all of us, if you are worry about the market situation then I would suggest you not to be worry just buy some bitcoin ad hold it for long time as I have never seen any other investment higher in profit and safer in holding than bitcoin so keep on holding fearlessly it will surely rise only.

If you have invested extra money in crypto then holding is easy otherwise it is difficult to keep your coins in your wallet for long time. When you need money and you can arrange without selling your holdings then you can keep your coins as long as you want but if it is your compulsion to sell your coins and without that you cannot survive then it is difficult to your coins. Holding and selling depends upon the need.

If you want to make more and more money in the future and you have dreams which you want to fulfill from bitcoin earnings then forget about your holding for long time and never check the price. This will help you hold your coins for long time, atleast till the end of this year. if you are impatient then you cannot hold your coins for long time because this world is not for emotional people.

I have come understand that the greatest problem bedeviling the crypto world is trust. No one trust the system or any coins. People are always afraid to hold because of numerous uncertainties. Holding any coin should be at individuals discretion.

I too agree you have some good coins for holding them in long-term because there are some other coins where can hold them like NEO, EOS, IOTA AE etc. If you look for shorterm then defenitely you might loose value because every altcoin completely depends on the price of Bitcoin.

Do not give too much to reading about trade and technical analysis. A lot of information can sometimes be harmful. And never again trade on someone else's analyst! If the analyst gave the correct forecast for the week, this does not mean that he is able to predict correctly every week, for several years.

It depends on what I'm holding.
I like to gamble with some of my earnings on exchanges to try and get extra profits.
Some I just lock for the long term interest.

I want to know how to hold the coins and what to do with the coins?

This is the right to hold your coins because the price is growing again and if you hold your coins for some more time you will make huge profits. Don’t try to sell your coins for low price if you don’t need money for your daily needs. This is not the right time for selling bitcoin. You should never look the price until you decide to sell your coins. This is the right way to hold your coins.

Great. We should equip ourselves with the skills to adapt to this market, enough knowledge to conquer them. Must have faith and not be hurried, although can still hold their position to succeed. This is science, not game of chance, so we consider all actions in this field to achieve good goals.

You're right. When participating in this market need to prepare themselves before joining, when difficulties do not sell them. Strong stance, in order to have a good market, people have to obey their laws, so that we can go far to achieve our goals. :)

Holding is not a problem, earning is a problem. People are thinking to find ways to earn more and more bitcoin and you are talking how to hold coins. You should not check the price of bitcoin till the end of this year and forget about your holding. In the start of 2019 you can check bitcoin price. if you think that the profit is more than 30% then sell your holding.

You do everything right. I also spend a lot of time reading news about this or that coin. If I thoughtlessly bought all the coins in a row and held them, then I would have accumulated a whole bunch of unnecessary garbage. Although it's already in my wallet from my early participation in different airdrops. Now there's just no reason to sell good coins, they need to be held. And need to do this at least until the end of this year.

Many people invest in cryptocurrency and see it but a quick win-loss gambler and feel extremely disappointed when losing money. I think it is wise to identify the mentality when you start investing because this will help you to invest long term in this market and grow with it.

Holding coins means to have balls that is not really easy to crack during earthquakes. If you have just set your mind for a long term hold, then i think that's enough for you to not be shaken during the calamity. Just think that you are investing nothing.

I usually look unto the stage of the coin if I want to hold of course for me to know how long i will hold the coins, also I look for the purpose of the coins if it will be essential for the future use.

In my opinion this is not the best strategy to hold your assets in crypto-market with it volatile. Personally for me I found solution with the strategy of investing into ICOs. I analyze every part of ICO and then bring some part of my money, tokens unlock and usually this is x2-x6 for me. :) Here is interesting project, giving to you the link - https://medium.com/@kelvinchain/the-post-quantum-era-of-blockchain-todays-solutions-for-the-world-of-tomorrow-16bdd970f49a (https://medium.com/@kelvinchain/the-post-quantum-era-of-blockchain-todays-solutions-for-the-world-of-tomorrow-16bdd970f49a)

Holding involved a great decision making and a great decisive strategy to build on and up to date information on your coins since you are looking for opportunity to strike and collect awesome awards when you let them go to market!

Example of coins that you do not want to hold very long or not worth of holding is those that says they give "passive income". It's too stupid to believe on that by just generating or minting coin and most of investors of you are doing that

buy the coin or tokens
You have two options.

store it on your wallet or
leave at exchange (unsecured)

make sure you have the password and private key secured.
hold till you make profits

Still we have to hold most of the coins in 2018. End of this year will gives you big profit. Most of the predictions crypto experts express that. Most main nets are releasing this quater. Those coin will be in moon in near future.

Think about the dip in the price. It will prevent you from selling your coins. By this way you can hold your coins till the price grow again. There is no problem in holding your bitcoin in this worst situation. Everyone holds hold coins because of the low price. Nobody wants to lose his money, so better to hold for some time.

I agree with you. Without any knowledge, you will do only problems for yourself. Study the reality and how it works only start.

Good article, thanks for your work. Additionally, I pay attention to where the coin is traded.

Nice article thanks for that.  Its good for the beginners

From the beginning of 2018 the coins are going down on the markets. The point is to hold them until the coins go up and maybe surpass the level it was before the whole coin market crushed down. And we can see that the situation is already better in comparison to the last month.

You must know general info about this coin and you must read roadmap whitepaper And so on and keep hold for minimum 1 year and take good profit and enjoy u r a crypto Holder Best wishes

Many people invest in this market just because they hear about the profit margins they can get from the market but they do not understand that it is not easy and many people have failed with cryptocurrency. Knowledge is very important in financial investment and cryptocurrency as well, so really understand it before investing in crypto.

If I were starting today I would really recommend to spend 2 weeks trying and testing your strategy before investing money. Looks like we are close to bull market, but anyway that 2 weeks will give you a good view in terms of when to hold or when to stop losses.

this is bad strategy right now I think. I prefer ICO investment, you analyze all stuff and then invest in, get you roi and move forward, interested in upcoming Kelvin Blockchain.

Yeah you are right; investment in cryptocurrency should be for long time because in short time it will not give you any profit. If you want to make good money from your investment then you should hold your coins for some more time and when the price ups you should sell your coins for higher price, but till that time never think of selling your coins.

Holding coin will always give us a good amount of money but we have to be very careful about which coin we have to invest. Choosing the potential coin will always help us to make more money but it should be in the long-term otherwise, you will not make a good amount of money.

Holding is always letter for job to do because of many other reasons people need money every day that's why they related to hold their investment for long period and withdrawal in middle of the period so my opinion is holding is very very tough.

2018 is only for holding because the price is so low that if you sell your holding you will lose your investment because many people have bought bitcoin for higher price than that of today. If you want to make some profit in the future you will have to hold your coins and don’t even think of selling atleast in this year. This year so far is very bad for bitcoin investors.

Many people think that holding is easy but if the previous crash showed something to us is that holding is only possible if you understand why you invested your money in the first place, many people invested in bitcoin and other coins just thinking about the money and then when the price began to crash they understood they did not knew why they were here and now they lost money as a result of their impulsive decisions.

This is normal to hold your coins in this worst situation of the market. The price these days is very low and selling in this situation means losing your money. It is better to hold your coins till the price grow again and recover all deficits. People invest their money to earn more and no to lose their capital. It will disappoint you and you will never invest in bitcoin again.

No one knows which coin will explode in 2018 or thereafter, it all depends on the market situation. If you invest in altcoin it also comes with great risk because many altcoins will lose value in a few years, but even coins like DOGE will be in use for the long term so it may be safe to invest coin.
and myself save the DOGE ;D

 :) Keeping will always give us good money but we have to be very careful about which currency we have to invest. Choosing a potential currency will always help us make more money but it must be long term otherwise you will not make much money. Be careful.

İn this year we just have to watch and hold coins. There will be no huge growth this year, maybe there will be a downward slide.

It always seems good to find a very good ICO project when you have the criteria on finding it. Like in this statement you must know why the coin is built the purpose of it is very important they aren't just made because they have money it is because they can do better than any coin. A better work. Holding coins in this year will be difficult so better to follow these steps.

I think holding a coin in 2018 will be great. by seeing the development that is present in this increasing coin will be more supported and also make it so good and become a coin that is able to produce an expensive price in the future. so it is great to hold the coins in the future to achieve a price that is quite expensive in the future.

Yes, I agree You can hold altcoin that you think is good and can get a good profit because there are many people who hold altcoin now because waiting for altcoin and Bitcoin prices back because you know for yourself if the price Altcoin always follow the bitcoin until now

Thank you for the further explanation on what is best ways to evaluate a coin to hold. It will be a great help especially for those investors that is holding coins just in FOMO. They better view this post in order to use their further evaluation and not instincts to invest.

to hold the Altcoin in 2018 will be very profitable with the ability to grow coins in 2018 is so increasing ability to generate more profits by investing. so it's great to rely on the coins and make it a pretty big profit going forward.

seems like youre overthinking it a bit. Cryptocurrency is still in speculation, so there's no sure way to tell if a project is going to succeed even with good reputation and concept. What I suggest though is you invest a little in each project, diversification is the only key to minimize your losses and maximize your chances of holding an amount of any great project that you wanted.

   Attention! Without certain experience, Trading and Hodling are risky. The most acceptable method of investing at the moment is ICO. For a more successful contribution, you need to carefully analyze the project. Identify is necessary for the market side. For example, the Kelvin Blockchain project has an innovative method of encryption, transmission, storage, and security. All this is based on quantum computing. Thus becoming in demand in the future. With the coming quantum technologies, the current market must experience many changes. To be more exact, many coins will leave the market, as there will simply be no demand for them, due to the same technological superiority. I managed to participate in several ICO, some I earned quite well, I can say with certainty, for a good project, it must have potential for the future, that it will be needed in five years. Unfortunately most projects do not have this potential. I was lucky and I came across a project focused on protecting against hacking quantum processors, and to maximize the use of all the advantages of new technologies, project Kelvin Blockchain, you need at least to consider, because not every day there is such a good option for investing money.
   Kelvin Blockchain (https://medium.com/@kelvinchain/the-post-quantum-era-of-blockchain-todays-solutions-for-the-world-of-tomorrow-16bdd970f49a) project itself is flexible to implementing cryptographic algorithms which will make it one of the safest blockchains ever existed with 10+ signature available from the start. This project does not rely on any particular signature algorithm and due to the multi-client use - on some single consensus. In case of any problems, it is possible to quickly locate the threat and prevent it’s distribution throughout the system. Multiple blockchains with different consensus algorithms, token types, and assignments will be available. The multichain technology allows creating almost an unlimited potential for speed and productivity. Kelvin Blockchain can launch up to 2^64 subchains - more available subchains will benefit in increased speed and security. Moreover, all the blockchains will be processed in one wallet so that the client could have fast transactions, secure investments and cheap smart contracts as well as a lot of other services at his hand.

Yeah same with sibcoin and its the one of my reasons not to sell the coins right now

Especially attracted by Ripple. The transfer of money in this crypt is so fast and cheap that it has already attracted the attention of banking structures of different countries. The ether also has a high demand. After his "birth", this crypt quickly gained momentum, so confidently burst into the top three, staying there for a long time.

I'm already waiting when I will go into the norm to implant chips in people, that will make life much easier, that all payments would be just a crypto currency, but here is one minus- the living in this future will be more dangerous  :-\

The market of cryptocurrencies is risky but we cannot invest blindly in every project just for the sake of diversification, make sure the project you are investing at least is not a scam, make a very deep investigation about the developers to try to find if they are real people or not, if there is real people behind the project and they are willing to reveal their identities and put their reputations at stake it is possible to invest in that project and give them a chance, but if you find out those are fake profiles then that is a scam and you should never invest in it.

Yes,You can hold your coin right now because currently, the prices of altcoin and bitcoin have not yet returned, especially since the market price has not yet stabilized, so now you are better off holding the altcoin that you have until everything is stable and profitable again.

to hold a coin is indeed very capable of bringing considerable profit. the ability to develop coins does increase quite well. so as to generate considerable profit will greatly help us in the future to achieve greater profit. other than that it is for the coins held in the future with various variations of its development.

You need to have strong faith in your coins. Holding will not be a very hard task for you because you know that deep inside, it will succeed in the end. It goes up and down but you don't care because you only see it reaching the finish line.

Holding of the coins is the safest way of making any kind of the investment as this will never let you lose your money if you are having some good control over your emotions and that you are staying stronger when it comes to that of holding of your nerves at tough times. all you need is that you have to look for some safe wallet and then you have to buy the coins which can help you in having more earning.

You know the price of bitcoins low and selling means to lose your money. I think nobody wants to lose his money besides everyone wants to earn as much as he can and for this he will have to hold bitcoin for long time. Don’t look the price daily and forget about your investment for some time. In the future you will be happy to see the growth in the price.

There are many Altcoin that are fast growing and people are putting their money in it, because they think that bitcoin price is s volatile that they may lose their money and time as well. It is better to buy Altcoin and keep them for some time, and when it grows a little bit, you can earn lot of money. Ripple is under $1 and how much you will lose if the price falls.

I think that the holding strategy is the best one for me, the long-term hold is the best possible way to avoid risks or at least minimize their number and if you understand the market this will not happen any more

Many investors scared to hold their coin but for me,I should hold my coin until December 2018 so i can have more profit.

Same thoughts while im holding sibcoins

It is not about holding you know. Not everything about cryptocurrencies is just about holding. I think it is about how you use it. I prefer investing in a low price, holding for some time and spend when I needed to spend. Is not it the goal of this technology? Being a mode of payment? I think this is the reason why some people do not believe in cryptos. Because they know that if they will jump in, others will be greedy.

 hold a coins is depend on your balance . LOL . like me, when i sold all my BTC to hold Ada, when ADA price down. You see what i do that time. Sold it. ((

The price is very low and selling your holding means to lose your money. This is enough to hold your coins till next year. It is time for buying more and more coins because of the low price and be optimistic for the bright future of crypto. This though will help you to hold your coins for more time. Crypto investment is not for losing your money but for earning more money.

It is right that this year is not good for bitcoin so far because huge dip in the price, while people were predicting something different for this year. The price is very low in these days and if you want to make money from your investment you will have to hold your coins for long time not only in this year but till the price rise again. For earning money holding is mandatory.

Bitcoin price is still trading low therefore I think that those people who want to make money from bitcoin, he need to continue holding their bitcoin for some more time. Because bitcoin price has now started increasing and very soon it price will increase too much and will surely give us a very good profit.

Bitcoin and ethereum are the great coins to hold this year. The cost of these two coins are presently low. So purchase these two coins and hold it for long haul. These two coins are with high potential and promising coins in the coinmarketcap. Different altcoins are likewise great to hold simply choose the developing coins in the coinmarketcap and contribute on those coins. Be that as it may, altcoins will set aside opportunity to get benefit. In any case, this not occur in the bitcoin holding for long haul or here and now the advantage will be more.

it is very difficult to find high potential digital money because there are many things you can choose from. I only have 30 subcoins in CoinMarketCap. a subject that needs to be investigated in detail.

I know that many people lose valuable time in vain. But I also know people who make a profit and at the same time have fun. That will help you. P2PS

In 2018, you need to buy when such low prices. Perhaps we will not see such prices again. By the end of the year there will be growth

Given the recent market movements, I would now be engaged in accumulating long positions for several months or would trade at an average distance of 1 week to 4 weeks.

How to hold coins in 2018? The best way to hold coins is by holding them, that means, not selling them off, despite certain things, and certain market conditions. Keeping your coins off in a safe exchange or wallet and choosing not to sell them. Buy more if you need to, especially if there is a dip in price, and just hodl.

Just do not sell them despite on the great wish to do it. I am sure that it will be a mistake and you have to be more patient in this situation. Just hold and wait.

I personally recommend you, that is the good time for purchase good altcoins in very cheap rate and hold your coins next two years minimum. I am sure you will get more profit on your investment.

If you have not sold your altoquines until today, September 13, 2018, then the best way to keep your portfolio without losing is not to sell. By the end of the year there will be a rise in the price of coins.

It was necessary to arrive with coins in January, having sold them, now we are waited by long chatter until the end of the year, be careful with the savings.

I know that it is hard to do and all of us are close to sell everything and despite on it we have to be stronger and have a patience to be ready for the holding.

I feel patient also has a limit and you have to act so that you can have the profit from your altcoins HODL.
Suppose if you have a bit of Bitcoin then DOGE at the price of 30 Satoshi, go up to 35 Satoshi then just sell, because that is your profit.

by holding a coin in 2018 it is very capable of producing more profits for coins and making improvements that support the progress of the coin in the future. so it can produce more prosperity to stabilize coins.

No need to linger to hold Altcoins because when you profit, you better sell Altcoin.
See who is valuable, because what is always fair with Fiat is Bitcoin.

It seems to me that the most correct solution was to keep the well-known to all token of USDT. This is the best way to preserve your funds!

There is really many variaty to hold coins - on exchanges and on your wallet. Especially in this unusual 2018 year. There is really not much option but just to hold as many as you wish because this is year is simbolicly "the bear market year". So profits will eventually become true when this year come closing.

As for me, I select a good coin to hold by the time the coin I selected goes dump on its price. That is the time I started to buy the limited open window. And I expect that when I buy low and sell high, surely good profit will come.

I think the most effective hold time is that the market phase starts from freezing to rising. Basically you do not need to hold early, when the market is starting to warm up on a large scale is buying at. Some coin that I think can hold this year like Doge, LTC, ..

This is the greatest moment to buy the EOS, RIPPLE, NEO. I think these coins are the good worth in this month. I hope if you invest the some money in these coins it's will bring you a big profit.

The probability of this is not very high. I don't think after the recent bull market, the bear will retreat so quickly. Even the peak of the bear market has not come, the fall will be even stronger. So it will have to wait longer than before the end of this year .

it is a matter of the particulr coi  how long ypu should hold it i doubt taht there are some rules that you may follow for sure

uthere are a lt of strategies but you have to choose the one taht suits you aj dyou only do no look at other peopel

 
Faith is powerful of any work. Not only altcoin hold. A man who wants to hold crypto for some years, he should choice most trusted coin and use a hardware wallet. Hardware wallet so much secure than software wallet or exchange wallet.

The best way I think in order to hold despite of the frustrating market behavior is to ignore and to temporarily move away from cryptos to not be fully awared on how bad the market is becoming this year. And to be back once bullrun shows sign of taking over the negative trend right now. Since we don't know when will such thing happen, be patient for now.

I think the most important is your attitude to the coin. If you believe in coin you should hold it. In 2018 it's better to hold all coins ;D

If you are an investor, do not be too concerned about this market, as more and more information is available. They will not know what to do, choose good projects and come back after a few years

You have not answered the question, in the market over 2000 coin now. Where is the way to find a good project, for me can always earn money. As long as you have to try really

Good afternoon.I am agree withyou,the RIpple,EOS,NEO coins,are coins that you need to have now and keep them for a long term,which I have increased recently.

hold the coin is indeed very capable of generating profits even more profits. so holding would be the first option for earning more capable for large and valuable. on this EOS 2018 become a coin that was so reliable in increases to take hold.

You just need to make a good investigation and invest a lot of time in checking every coin that you are going to add in your portfolio. This is going to be the most difficult phase, but after that the only thing you need to do is to relax.
