As we're heading in the quarter of the year, few months passed through many of us here whose trading for good wasn't  able to learn such ideas on how to develop courage which could help us to gain firm decisions. That's a recommendation for everyone to hodle for a few rounds of fluctuations and to encourage everyone for better future on our aim for profitable value of our holdings. Trade when it's needed to, but hold for longer terms and you'll be surprised by the time you're coins will attain a good price in the market.

I don't think we can motivate other people to hodle their coins, since the market wasn't showing faster price increase. Its not an easy role for us, and mostly one of the common reason why  the value was declining is due to panic sellers.
The firm decisions couldn't be established, and rather ignored because new traders were afraid that their funds will be lost after sudden dump happens.

Everyone of us has its own perspective on how we are  going to construct a firm decision making in our daily activities. Our future depends on how we are going to pursue the way of choosing our path that we are going to take along the process of becoming a successful individual in the future. Holding and trading are the choices that everyone in the crypto often heard, and it's not a problem if we are going to hold and wait for a good profit, likewise it's not a question if we are going to trade. The point is, as long as we understand the concept of this stuff in the present generation then it will be our choice whether we trade or hold.

closing your eyes and holding on to every altcoin that is out there and promises you green days will only mean hug losses. it is like holding on to a big rock while falling in the sea. of course you will drown! you should let go of the sinking rock because its demise is inevitable no matter how much you try and hold on tight the rest of the world is dumping said altcoins and you will be buried under their dump.

One's decision is a product of our life's personal experience, weither we hold for long and observe its movement or sell directly its everyone prerogative, as what our co participants in this community said as long as we thoroughly understand the principles of crypto world its our choice.

We can only make firm decisions on trading if we have always a presence of mind otherwise we will only fall into a big trap. Trading carries risk and to be able to attain such good trading, we need to always keep monitoring about the fluctuations in the crypto market and this is just one of the many options that we can make. Furthermore, hodle can affect our emotions if we don't know how to handle if in case we see the market full of blood. So, we must have a heart of steel to face unexpected downfall in order for us to overcome such situations.

In this situation right now our decission making will lead the way on how we interact the reality in crypto currency especially in terms of facing the prices when it goes up and down.And for the strategy in terms of hodling or just simply dump,one thing I can suggest was simply go with the flow and be logistic enough to make your profits grow.

Actually,  everyone of us have own perspective thoughts and opinions since we are here in the world of crypto currency having different strategies and techniques in order to have a great amount in the future. On my opinion, as the time passes by every users become wise as they want a sure a good outcome. As we recall way back last year on the last quarter many users hold a huge amount but it suddenly downfall unexpectedly on this year as a result of panic selling. Having a firm decisions could not be done easily since the value of crypto currency changes time to time and many of us here needed a great amount but somehow there are some users willing to take risk as they hold their shares for the long period of time hoping to have a great amount of profit in the future.

Being firm in your decisions wouldn't be my top piece of advice. You shouldn't change your mind easily but being stubborn is also not the answer. You should always take time to consider your position and what is the best course of action from there. If it's changing your direction then you shouldn't be against doing it.

In a very volatile market, one should be very firm on your decisions. If you want to trade then focus on trading and keep watching the market all the time. On the other hand if you want to focus on hodl, choose a good coin wit solid foundation or some projects that will make you profit by holding them.

Though holding is not one of the principle of crypto, bitcoin should cycle in community in.its place, bitcoin is not make to hold it for a long time in a wallet and not using it, it is bad for bitcoin because just think everyone is just holding their coin so there is no trading that will happen and the price is not moving, so you should able to follow its cycle

Hodling is one of the choices, it is not an absolute principle that every person in the market need to follow, some people may make more profit using other methods  :)

Holding is a great choice unfortunately not all people are patience enough to hold, and sometimes I understand the feelings of that people that ever lost big money because keep on holding, so I think sometimes people need to make a hard decision to cutloss and buy again in the other time, I prefer people to play smart and know when to hold, when to sell and when to buy

Traders should also be flexible since it’s not all the time when a coin may potentially have a higher value. Events may occur when it should be the right time for you to sell otherwise you would incur a loss. It’s important to be firm when there are FUDs and negative news that would make you feel worried. Being firm should depend on the situation — I think that it doesn’t apply to all cases.

There are investors (small ones in the main) who want to buy crypto-currency, with the intention in the future their children will get a bigger surplus. Calculation of the growth in the course of ten. At the same time they manage to agitate other people, that they would also invest their money. :o

The trading or holding depends on the people and also the time period of the investments,but most of the crypto currency investors are short time investors who came here just to make money from the bump and dump in the daily swing,but the only long term holder knows how much they can earn in long term but even we can make huge money in short term if we are luck and have knowledge about crypto currencies.

one of the worst mistakes I have made during trading was not to follow my plan and listening to the other (not applying my firm decisions), so indeed having firm decisions on trading is very important which I have learned with a sad experience.

For an individual to have a firm decisions on trading, I think its a 50-50 gamble for its self. Knowing that there are some people in this community whose eager to trade and afraid to hold,that fact alone create doubt in mind that make them not to focus. A lot of factors may affect oneself to have a firm decision and for me commitment and be a positive thinker are a big help.Stand on what you believe,  decide firm on what you feel and on what you think is right.

It is not easy especially for newbies to hodl a coin/tokens while seeing the price are crashed, experienced or longer investors would be calm and can be patient to wait the tokens are growing for certain time.

Exactly that, every situation needs to be considered individually and stubbornness shouldn't hold you back, nor should being overly flexible in your decision making. Study each situation and understand if it's the right the decision or not.

It is an art of dealing our coins whether we sell it all or hold for long term , no one will say you're wrong or you're right , although it is our personal regret by the time we notice that the price of our holdings was crash , and also a personal regret when it will rise 100 times after we dump it all . For me it's better to follow our intuition of decision or by necessity .

Suggesting people to keep hold and sugesting people to trade will have different responses. Many people are case-hardened with hold despite having many losses and many people are case-hardened to do day trading even though market conditions do not allow for profit. It is best to do for yourself, you are holding the holding because that is your way, you believe in cryptocurrency in the future. Cryptocurrency is very abstract for guessing, all you have to do is just cross out the one you want.

If you arent confident enough on your trading skills no matter how hard you do try to trade and make investment and returns arent on satsifactory level well its normal for a person to find more safer way with just a simple logic they would really come to the idea on holding up on their coins rather than on trading it actively. Theres significant advantages on shorter and longer trades it does depend on traders preference on which way he would used up.

Holding while the market is not stable is a good choice but unfortunately most holders  nowadays especially beginners is not easy to convinced even had loses on it, which is so greedy and always panicking without knowing how the market plays,  that's why i suggest to all who want to enter in trading , learn some strategies first and obtain more information how to avoid such issue to protect your money in every situation.  'cause that is the most important especially here in crypto which is so volatile and very unpredictable due to some causes.

It is always funny to me ;D Actually when I get to see some newbie investors or traders using patience as the word to console themselves in a market where they should gain enough knowledge and be trading like some professional trader who really knows what he or she is doing. But holding may fetch their intended results regardless of current market conditions.

Moreover, a lot of them usually do not like going via that path. It is always good to learn so as to know how to plan every point of trading from buying to selling and stopping loss and I can bet very few traders have a good idea on how to go about that effectively.

Well, not everyone invests money that can afford to lose, so even when the price of bitcoin drops, we have a lot of panic selling and many thread with titles like these: "will it be that bitcoin will rise" being created. If someone takes the money that was to pay the bill of light and buys bitcoin in the expectation that it will win 2x and then the price will fall then that person will sell at a loss and will blame bitcoin for their loss, but they forget that bitcoin is not guilty


do not adianda try to encourage people, because people will always use money that they should not afford to lose to buy bitcoin and these same people will always sell whenever the price falls, even if it is a sale where they will have losses


This has always been the best option.

A great understanding of the market will always help anyone who is smart enough to get it. The market is highly volatile, but with some pretty good knowledge, making decision in the market is always going to come out well. Just like the OP said, know when to be in and out of the market entirely and know what to do at every point in time. Some are actually fund of rushing into things anyway, and I can as well assume the same way they would dash in is usually the same way they dash out.

If you do not have the courage on trading in the market then the best thing to do is just read different speculations or let say try to have your own research in order to predict what will happen in the future and make your decisions right.

Not all altcoins are moving together. Decred is on the move up. DBIX also. And if someone bought a top it's not a good idea to hold.

I agree with you buddy that hodling is the way to earn a fortune in this world of cryptocurrency but i think there are also instances wherein we need to weigh in things because as i have observe lately, there are a lot of coins which value dropped to almost zero as time passes by. My take on this one, make a goal for a certain coin that if the price reaches your desired selling price then sell it, don't be too greedy because you might lose it all. Nobody here even the experts can precisely predict what would be value of cryptos in the future, all we do is speculate.

Everyone should find a way to motivate themselves and those who simply cannot do that on their own should not even be in the market in the first place as either an investor or a trader. The market is just starting and there is a lot in the future as benefits to tap from, so for someone who may want to be panicking for no reason or not knowing exactly what to do as a trader then they definitely will have themselves to blame in the long run.

Holding firmly and ignoring the market fluctuations by not panicking is the things I am just following. Just looking for better cheaper prices to buy more helps me to avoid unnecessary panic. When we are engaging into something really helps to control our emotions. Here, my engagement is looking for buying more. Simple yet powerful.

I understand and agree to your points OP, many people especially investors in cryptocurrency needs to make a firm decision on whether to HODL or sell before they jump into cryptocurrency. This firm decisions will aid them to have an strong mind and determination to probably keep holding when the price of bitcoin, especially keeps dipping and all hope seems to be lost.

Of course firm decision plays a big role in.you must know first what is your goal when it comes to trading.also taking risk comes in without this traits you will never be success

Making firm decisions in trading is far more than having a huge mind but about the knowledge that you have which is the only way I see it as an easy path to success when it comes to trading. There is always so much to learn and no one can finish learning everything just in one day and that brings me to the path where learning is the most important ingredient that is needed to thicken any trader into making good decisions.

of course you need to take risks in your time, and you also need to own luck. But nevertheless, without knowledge and experience, it will not succeed to trade successfully.

This could be the advice I have been searching for. One of the coin I am holding have survived  170 sat. and to 290 sat. And yesterday the price skyrocketed to 500 sat. I thought I should sell of but after a few analysis of the coin block movement, I realize that even if the price drop again, there are good chances it will rise double it current t price in about the next 3 months. How ever it takes huge decision and firmness to agree to hold longer. What if it doesn't rise again? That's just the risk we need to take. It is called strong will.

This is one of the best strategy to trade with efficient results. Actually when you are in trading and you want to make a big move, patience is required. And I often call this holding, patience. Because you have to wait for so long time seeing all such downs and ups and then downs and your heart is pumping faster and much faster. But thing is, holding yield you best of the profit.

Its good that you conveying benefits of holding but its been years and I have seen people breaking their emotions in very short terms. They cant just hold it for long terms when the time like current period hits the market, whenever the crypto falls then there starts chain of weak handed people who believes selling is the great option to save their asses from loss. But they are actually doing wrong thing. This crypto is meant for dropping down because it is unregulated market and someone might be dumping huge quantities and it could be bad news somewhere in the country. Anything can disturb the market growth. So we just have to wait for the time and wait to see the crypto currency coming back online.

I think now is a good moment to invest long term this is a cheap price, buy now and do not open the market again for a few months enjoy your life and the end of the year you will get the results

yes of course talking about newbies or beggingers ,but  actually it depends on our selves if we want to avoid such issue such due of being lacks of knowledge., and i think those people who always regrets after, is a lazy holders like interested person always relying on others predictions and thoughts even have no specific idea. well i believe regrets always happened after but we must fix our mistakes and lesson learned ,

Yes so many factors to considered to have firm decisions in this community I think for me our experienced lead us for what we are going to do and what we are as this moment. Hold for long-term not being tempted by price movement make you strong and stand by your decision to acquire the target profit.

Well, basically the possible outcome we have right now was base on our different decisions as we experience different outcome in which we feel so disappointed in times we have a very huge losses of amount. Also, as we become part here in crypto currency community we must aware the different circumstances that we may experience on whatever decisions that we may have. Lastly, as one of the users here I observed that it not depends at all time on whatever decisions that we've made as it to be luckily enough could no one can tell if it will be the best decision or not since we try our luck here in the world of crypto currency even how firm it is or not.
