my position is that on one hand, blockchain has a part in the future... but maybe like in the year 2050 and to be dominated by institutional money. People like me might need to use smart contracts every now and then but realistically average people dont need to worry about making cross continental transactions or finding alternatives to the banking system. I feel if regular people dont adopt blockchain for regular use, were simply hodling coins/tokens to be taken for a ride by institutional money like tiny remoras clinging to sharks

I am holding believing that it will grow up of crypto in future. For sell and buy house. If it can named speculation - I hold for speculation.

For me, it is true belief. 

There are many coins that will become mainstream, particularly privacy coins.  People will find it extremely desirable to be able to earn income and buy goods and services without government oversight, regulation, and taxation.

But, I agree that it won’t become mainstream until wallets are safe to use by regular, non-IT people.  Ideally, people won’t need to remember and record private keys; they shouldn’t be able to send (ie. the app stops them) to incompatible public keys.

My standout privacy coin of the future - SAFEX.  Big things happening over the next few months.

For other practical applications, energy tokens should become desirable by mainstream people.

Passive investment coins that give better annual returns than traditional bank interest or old-world funds should also be hot ticket items.

The first crypto-debit card to actually work everywhere will also become a hot property.

True believer. If you look at the financial market right now you would realize that more and more people are losing their faith the way economy is being run. Crypto is going to be huge in coming years. Average joe don't want alternative as they can already do transactions but they would need it in coming years. You can see how government is being more acceptable towards crypto as they already know what's coming at them.

I am holding for believing,  there are so many good coins that can stand the test of time even admist government regulations and the likes, all this coins goes beyond ICO and the company have track record of existence before crypto so they have goods and services So therefore they can't go into extinction and mind you cryptocurrency will explode few years to come

I am holding so that I can see where I stand in the future with my portfolio. I mean I have to see where this crypto will lead to us, whether my investment is going to be money making thing or there will be actual use of this currency and smart contracts in the future. ! If that would happen then we can say surely that we stand at the point where crypto currency has a form and the form is worth something. Unlike gold where at least it posses some value and we use it for the store value. But crypto's are not that stable neither we have advanced properly to use them real life. 

So im holding for the ultimate fate experience of the crypto currencies.

Holding only works for legit and long time projects like BTC, ETH, XMR etc.

Many altcoins should be traded as speculation. Buy and aafter few days/weeks sell.

Otherwise investors can witness their money burning.

As a long time investor I have much belief in the bitcoin and the other crypto currencies so I am holding it for the future purpose not for its speculative nature and if we keep using the crypto currencies for the speculation purpose then it can't reach its destination and it maybe fade away in some years.So trust the cryptos and keep holding the bitcoin and other longer and get maximum benefits.

I am holding some for I truly believe in and some for only speculation though I don't believe in and think they are overvalued, it is obvious they will rise.

Even though most started as speculation, i think its phenomenal to be a part of the changing working face of the world, right from conception. The growing net of believers seem to be expanding, including bigger financial institutions, regulatory authorities and a more mature crypto community itself.

Before I invest I find an ICO that is worth investing for and not just good in short term but also best for long term of holding period. I really dont care if the coin I am holding goes super low in price at that time maybe I will buy more of it. I didnt care for the quick money of the coin im holding, I only care for the prospects of the coin and also I follow the roadmap of the team. So when I buy coins from the ICO i just stack up to my hardware wallet and just move on, pretend that that coin doesn't exist.

Speculation. I can believe in whatever, however, I much more into participating only in something that can give me a benefit. If I just believed in crypto - O wouldn’t have even thought about holding it - I would have speared no effort trying to spend it in the real world

I truly believe that crypto is our future,already a lot of people know about it and their number is increasing expotentially.Im sure that we can have two financial payment system-fiat and crypto in the near future

It is exactly that through positive speculation we can earn a big profit for holding and believing crypto currencies investment. We can see the trends now that some altcoins are rising with the great influenced of bitcoin crypto's king. These were totally grow in the market because some people were now believing crypto's popularity and it's benefits that can surely elevate their financial stability. Holding for speculation I truly believed it to have a good profit in the future investment.

you are underestimating technology that much.
did you follow our technology ? for example phone and computer ? what do you think about it ?
in a decade we could see a lot of thing happened with our phone and until now we keep discovering something new like Virtual Reality and many more.
just like what they did to our computer and other stuff.
blockchain is something that we need to catch up with our technology.
we need something to help us doing our activity with those modern technology,that is why blockchain is our future.
just imagine,when we do the trade across the world but we are using our traditional financial system to help us do the transaction.
what will happen ?

---

in my view,in 2020+ we will see a significant movement that will happens with cryptocurrency and the world.

A mix of both. Projects i believe who have potential and others who are good for short time profit.

I agree with you that only the great projects are good for long term holding, but would add couple of more really good projects like NEO and LItecoin.
All of the small coins are pure speculation.

I will hold a coin that has good grades like BTC and ETH. and will do the speculation in altcoin. so that the future can be smooth and successful.

I’m holding Bitcoin and some major altcoins long term because I believe in this technology and think it will grow to be mainstream in the future.

However, I have also spread out some of my investments into about a dozen more speculative altcoins in hopes that some of them will do great things in the future. I did some research on all of these but they are a little more risky. I think all of us hope we will be part of the next big thing.

even when the crypto-currency stock market is not fully matured, it is even more impressed by speculation. then it is necessary to investigate their accuracy.

Speculation for me as I am hoping for a price increase in most coins at the end of the year.

For me i speculate for price of a certain coin that im planning to buy or invest, and ofcourse i believe in that coin that i bought. When i try to speculate price i put it in reality basis to ensure that my beliefs are practical and just.

"are you hodling for speculation or true believing?"

I am doing both. I truely believe that cryptocurrencies are the future of finance and I am speculating on which of them will be the winners and losers in that future.

If this financial technology was not needed in the future and what else we must believing to? So i think believe in this technology nowadays is just an impact for the failed economic system that exists, i really put trust on this financial technology this is the modern economic system that world needed at least close enough.

In my opinion, I think it is both speculation and believing. If you invest on a coin, you need to speculate that the price value of your invested coin would grow because you truly believe that it can. When you are engaged in cryptocurrency, you should be optimistic on your goals and plan in achieving something that you truly believe in.

I keep my NGR (NagriCoin) because I truly believe in this project.
Believe that it will bring me a money) but in long term. But what the mean hold for speculation? People who want to speculate with tokens they start to sell and buy immediately after ICO, they never hold coins more that few month.So if you hold - you believe.

I keep holding my token or coins. because someday and I believe that its price will increase, there are many like me who continue to hold the token or coins because they also believe that their token holdings will rise will be one of their successes

As for me, i hold purposely because i believe in a project i don't hold because of speculation, holding coins based on speculation, are pump and dump coin.

For coins that have a significant community, I believe like Bitcoin, ETH, ETC, Monero.
I speculate,  for some ICO coins and crypto coins community that have not much (but I think someday the coin community will flourish)

I am holding all my coins scince I have entered a market, so I dont know why...Maybe becouse I still have not earn a realy cool coin

I'm holding my altcoins because I believe that the price will rise sooner or later. I can wait even if it is a risk, I know that the price of all altcoins is unpredictable but I believe that the price will go up.

I hold for believes not speculations. Speculations can make one invest in a coin to regret later in the future. When you believe in a project, it will actually help you in one way or the other to improve the publicity of that project which will in turn increase productivity.

For the past few months of involvement in cryptocurrency, I realized speculations are always there. Tons of different speculations that may affect the volatility of an altcoin. But for my further review and disquisition, I discern the fact and made a realization that I am hodling until now not just because of speculations (which may affect the market) but rather  true believing in myself.

Rather than listening to most of the contemplation, I am trusting my own beliefs. Instinct works most of the time.

Although I am mostly trading, I am holding as well. I am doing it as I believe that the cryptocurrency has the brilliant future. Blockchain will be used everywhere, and altcoins and Bitcoins will be more popular than fiat.

I believe in true holdings, I can say that  true holdings are best for future ,it will give you best result. Present result will help you nicely in future.

Honestly, I am a true believer when it comes to HODLING. This faith has always helped me HODL all my coins and tokens for a long period of time without any sort of stress whatsoever. Initially, I did not believe in HODLING and sold my coins and tokens early for quick profits which taught me a valuable lesson about the importance of HODLING. I usually do a good bit of research before deciding which coins to invest into which helps in regards to HODLING. I always recommend HODLING for possible long term profits whenever you can and I feel this is the best strategy in the crypto market.

speculations could be missed and this is risky for long term holding and i personally hold with true believing because i think blockchain technology will be adopted many countries in this world and crypto communities also will getting biggger and bigger in the future so hold the particular cryptocurrencies will give us plenty of benefit

I treat differently all the coins. There are coins that I hold, because I believe in the project and their perspective, but there are coins that I use for speculation and trading on the stock exchange. I trade even Bitcoin, it is well suited for investment and for savings. I buy new tokens on the ICO, which have a perspective and a real application in the future.

It's still being so far from the blockchain to be adopted by the regular people. In my opinion that blockchain still in the beginning. Honestly, i'm holding for either speculation and believing with its potential. But remember the regulation will have always become the real problem and we know that there is a lot of greedy people that interested to play with blockchain environment especially speculation.

the future of cryptocurrencies is too difficult a question to make any predictions. especially for such a long time. but with qualitative analysis, you can increase the % probability of the outcome of the cost

I am only here for the Benjis. In as much as I believe cryptocurrency is the future of money. But it is not happening anytime soon. For now fiat hold sway. I am a speculator.

To survive in crypto currency,  you need to not just believe but also follow speculations as well so as the reduce risk and loss.

cryptocurrencies are something that really gives us hope for a bright future and in addition a modern future. so I really believe in them.

Blockchain and cryptocurrency market are still the development direction of future technology.
So I think there will be only a few tokens in the future.

Don't hold your coins if you just believe on any hype or speculation from anyone. Believe in yourself, believe on the coin you think can give you a bright future. I'm holding with my coins because I know their technology will succeed more in the future and that gives me the confidence of holding.

I'm trading until it's quite good. But at the same time I have coins, which I keep in my portfolio for a long time

speculation simply rely on gut feelings and the opinions of a few people, it will not be right especially if you want to invest in the long term. true belief will certainly arise by analyzing the circumstances and what will be invested. look at the chart and the other is a must to be able to cultivate confidence in investment.

I am not speculating. I really believe that I have been paying attention to blockchain technology before I really entered the world of cryptocurrency. At present, some countries, institutions and enterprises have begun to apply blockchain technology. This technology will become more and more Based on the life and work of human beings, I believe that the development of the cryptocurrency market will get better and better.

I am a true believer in Crypto that it will change the financial sector as we have now. Trading with coins on speculative basis to maximize my investment.

I am holding because I know that the coins will end up doing very well in the future. It is not for speculation, I believe in the coins and what it is that they stand for. What they were meant to do, I believe in cryptos and know that the are the future which is why I am holding the coins, I want to be amongst the first people who started using the currencies.

The big problem is that of adoption. Many people who are holding coins and tokens are not the daily users but speculators and businessmen who are interested in pure profit. We need to overcome this profit motive.

I don’t really hodl tokens that much and even when I hold
It is important to hodl logically and wisely with due manners

You should not hodl coins for speculation nor hodl coins cos you believe
All you have to do is focus and do your own research

I keep my buying cryptocurrency for both speculation purposes and according to my estimates. It doesn't make sense to believe in projects. Not believing, only detailed searching...

I'm true believing that Cryptocurrency market will rise again, but only in 2019 or 2020 year...
Sad but true... And hope die last...

Speculation is not the best way to earn money but it is very profitable doing for everybody. I don't see something so bad in this deal and I do it very often.

i have been more than a year in crypto but still I do not understand the real flow of the system. So I couldnt really have speculations on the matter, the only thing holding me up is the true belief, that may be the prices will rise again like before or even more.

I have two part of my coins that are good for speculation and for the believeing. I believe in NEO and Waves while BTC, ETH and EOS are for the speculation for me.

In most cases, people do this only for speculation and many people today still do not have the opportunity for that hold, because many of them have become hostages to panic, it's sad, but new investments are needed.

Trading is a game of skills and not speculations or believe.  If you have a good skill you make money from the market and if you didn't have  skills you will lose money. I think we should not miss thing up and if you will focus on your skills then you will make money.

I am true believing that my holdings right now is going to bloom the price soon and i believe cryptocurrency will last long especially ethereum and bitcoin they're last for long years and their price will go up soon.

i hold altcoins for long time. it is not because of any speculation or anything else. i hold them because i believe in blockchain technology. and that is why invest in cryptoccurrencies that are based on blockchain technology.

in fact Im holding only to speculate, but more than that, I see interesting data that cycles like this are natural, and conditions like this will not last permanently
