Follow the market, that way you don't get hurt. A hodler is not just some special type of person that holds a coin and never dumps. A hodler is someone who believes in a coin and tries to have a significant stake in the project by accumulating more and more over time without getting too burnt by the market.

Smart hodling is the key.

I also agree that holders of a particular coin or token as the case may be is someone who believes in what they are holding but there are other factors that might cause an investor to cease to hold a coin but not always because they no longer believe in it.

it's not really means that someone who hardly holds does not believe in a project, but to me the main reason is that they don't have patient, and they can't wait till the market price rise.

No, that is not the point. You may believe in a project but sell your token when it is mooning in the market or when you feel it is favourable to you.

Yeah true...  but what do you think are the other factors? you can throw more light on that so we get to know and understand better. Information is power you know. Kindly share pls

it means, he's smart enough that he knows what he's doing. if he hardly hodls, it means, he doesn't want to risk his investments. bottomline in this industry is, be smart enough so you will not be a sore loser. but in case if he hodls, it means, there's something in that project that he believes in. he sees that, there's concrete foundation in that project that it might goes big somewhere in the future.

Well, I guess it is not true that the one who doesn't hodls a coin or a token does not believe in a project. We have different decisions for every situation. Some are good and some are not. If you feel to diversify your funds and buy some coins that are hot and have greater potential for a short period of time, it is still up to you. Time is not our friend, we have to manage it well.

As for me, I believe in smart hodling and putting your eggs on different baskets so you can achieve a more reliable profit when some of your investments prosper.

If someone hardly hodls a coin for a certain project it doesn't necessarily mean that they don't believe in a certain project because it is possible that they may have foreseen a drop-off or saw a better opportunity at the time in a different project. Although generally hodling coin in a project that you genuinely believe in will usually pay off in the future where the coin may potentially moon. Obviously a lot of variables and decision-making goes into hodling/not-hodling a coin for a particular project.

Investors do not buy any coins if they do not believe in the project. After all, they are very attentive to the choice. Then, when the price suits the investor, he sells. And that doesn't mean he doesn't believe in the project. Just not every coin can be left for a long time.

That means you are a passionate investor, not a hodler. I disagree with the OP—a hodler is a hodler. Whoever sells their beloved coins during a positive market to earn profits and/or accumulate more of the coins they 'love' is not the same as someone who holds their coins indefinitely whether the market is up or down.

yeah Smart hodling is the key.

it not like stocks to hodl only and dont care it 2-5 years

Would agree with you, but hodler who is just accumulating and not booking its profit when available might ruin his portfolio.
Cause I have seen projects going to dust, where investors who just accumulated and never booked profit getting ruined. So I would rather suggest to at-least take out the investment invested, while you are in profit, and let the profit run in.

I am a total HODLER but not because I have 100% trust to my alt but because I don't have any choice, I think risking it 'til it skyrockets is the best option to do thought its not all I wanted.

I once bought $1 worth of ETN on its crowdsale last year and remain waiting until now hoping that it will soar high. But I guess there's only a small chance that it will do come true. Actually, I already admitted to myself long ago that I'm not yet preapared for dealing not so famous alts that's why it seems I almost forgot about it. Well, it's just a small amount of money so there's nothing to whimper for ;D.

I learned an important lesson after all, you should attained two vital things to achieve success: 1) Make sure you have the knowledge and skill in trading, and 2) Choose the right coin. So for the hodlers out there, do not only listen to what you are believing because being too ambitious might get you blind. Learning to "dump and never turn back" or to cut loss is somehow a good decision (but still depending on the current situation of course)

Have you seen someone has invested a lot of money on september last year and he was loosing around 96% from his portfolios today? I guess you should see that. that guy gives a great lesson about never try to believe anything. Just try to do your own best decision to increase your money rather than only hold them all.

For me to hold on to a token or coin means that I believe in the future of the project and would love to be part of it. It is not an easy route to go and comes with a lot of emotions during the good and bad market times.

I think that such a strategy is the most profitable, but we should not forget about the unpredictability of this market. It is necessary to determine correctly which coins should be hold and which ones should be sold as quickly as possible. Analysis and knowledge is the key to victory.

Exactly... Many people see other people who don't as people who are not good in the crypto space. I can't see a sign of retracement in a coin and u expect me not to dump it and wait to buy back in large quantity.

Exactly... The market is presently unpredictable but the, sometimes we get to see a bearish sign and someone who believes in a project and is wise will surely sell the top and buy back the bottom in large quantity.

Owkay this is a nice one. But imagined you sold your ETN at its ATH, you would be able to buy more of it now. That is absolutely why I call it Smart Holding. If I like a coin, I will like to get many of it instead of a little.

Not necessarily. Some persons are hodlers some day traders, some swing traders it all depends on what works for one and being better in the art.

Profitability on the coin you do hold for long term would just matter if it do really have the potential.Tendency on holding up a shitcoin or garbage is high on chances which means you are ending up on holding forever.Holding isn't always a wise move because we know coins can potentially pump once and dump forever and this is why its really ideal anytime to have presumptions when we do see some pumps to think that we should get out and secure ourselves..

I think holders are one of the most important parts in crypto community. They stabilize the coins and if this part becomes bigger, the market will be more stable in the future.

Well aren't daytraders fit right in this category?

I think, to hold crypto we have to look at the seriousness of the developer in working on the project, if the token or coin has a bad team I don't think it will be held

Yeah.. good thing you got the point. In the end, it's all about who's going to win and who loses out. Some think they are smart, but in the end they open their eyes to see they lost out while others were thinking of how to enlarge their coast.

No way you going to hold a shitty coin and think you have made it.. lol. It's all about coins with good future potential and by the way, if crypto will stand, all those shitty coin will vanish and space will be left with good projects.

They can fit themselves in another. this is for mid-term and casual traders

Your title is wrong but the main box is right. I do not hold TIO token, but I believe this project will go beyond for sure, They have enough potential to be big, but still, I am not holding. A holder can't hold every coin. Holders are the key but also traders and seller! Without sellers or traders, the crypto market will not be stable like now!

Hodlers sometimes believe in the project that's why they hodl. Others too its just because they got dumped while trading in a particular coin. So they have no option than to hodl.

It's not everyone who can afford to have his tokens or coins sitting in his wallet for a long time. Many people depend on the outcome of their investment in other to meet their life need, so you don't expect such people to hodl their tokens for years. Selling once token doesn't mean such person doesn't believe in the project, they may be other reasons which can be financial.

The one who holds the token for a long time believe on the project.
They are the one who dont care about the price in the market but on the development of the team and the product.
They are the people who buy more tokens at deep.

If you analyse the coin you are holding from different perspectives and it has not proper development
or the project has stuck , it can be a smart decision to leave that coin and get another investment.
Yes, it can mean that we are not believing in that coin and not supporting it by holding.

If you have a lot of Bitcoin then it's better to HODL if the altcoins you buy are down in price.
But if you have a little bitcoin and there is no backing up then you better play it safe by stopping it at a certain point, because falling deeper is definitely sick.

in most cases, impatience and action anxiety is indeed caused by lack of trust either in the project or in oneself abilities to manage his money safely. those who are secure in these matters are really calm holders

I support it, but sometimes it is difficult to make a certain choice, so you have to keep a lot of different coins.  One way or another will not be superfluous!

If you believe in the success of the coin and the project, then keep it in the HODL. I believe that you can lose opportunities for profit if you do not engage in trading.

if you have a deposit of pocket money or living expenses, it is still very good to hold a holding, if our condition really needs a holding action it will never be stopped

For those who does not believe in the project then they also will never being parts of holders and in my point of view the holders can help the future of the particular altcoins especially for those who believe in altcoins and never thinking to sold their altcoin asset so cryptocurrency really need these holders but first of all we should makes them believe the projects because this is necessary to ensure they hold their coins without fear to dumped

Those who holds in a project also believes in a project to develop. Their is a case holding coins waiting for the price to increase until such time the price is profitable. Holding coins does not mean you are not a believer of the project.

I don't think so, different person has different investment strategy and while some people prefer to hold for a long time, other people prefer to hold for a while and switch to another project later. I agree that smart holding is the key, the last year bull run is one of the good example of that, I sold most of my coin because I thought they are overvalued at that time and while I believe in the future they will reach that kind of price again, but it will take a very long time. I already bought back most of the coins some months ago because the price is cheap and I believe their value will keep increasing in the future. If I keep holding then I don't lose money but I will only make a little profit aswell.
