It's very popular to see people selling off their Altcoins with such reckless abandon you begin to wonder if the word hodl ever comes to their mind,come to think of it,how much was bitcoin 8 years back,compare it to the price today,the gulf in price is astronomical..
  Most bounty hunters sell as soon as it hits their wallet,i think the hodl approach should be adopted even the more,you never know what the price of the Altcoin you're calling shit might be in few years time..
  This to me is a perfect trading strategy,hodl your alts and don't be in a haste to sell off

You are right but if you are talking specifically about coins you receive from bounty campaigns then there are a few factors that decide whether you want to sell or hodl, for me first is how confident are you about the success of the project, secondly it also depends on your personal needs if you need money at that time or not, personally i do hold coins i receive from bounty for months if i like the project.

HOLD in cryptocurrency, yes this has become very popular in the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Every time someone says in a conversation that he is holding or suggesting hold, that means that they believe their coin will benefit one day, if not today.

The thoughts and needs of every human being are different, it could be that people who sell fast are now pressured to need money or fear that prices will go down. holding it for people who have a lot of money can be done, so don't blame their decisions, about the advantages and disadvantages of all decisions in their hands

This is the best deal in the crypto I suppose. It minimizes losses, saves money and it could be done in the eeach part of the crypto's cycle of the increasing.

I am not a supporter of this deal. Holding brings a possible going down in coin's price so the income could be less so trading is the most suitable here.

In cryptosphere nothing is more rewarding than HODL!, in absence of this looses are incurred. I love holding in a long term and this has yielded me more huge gain that i expected, during the last bull run on December, 2017, i made it on a big scale than ever just for the spirit of holding. Altcoins are meant to be hold for a long term; if and only if, gain is to be prioritize on this cryptosphere.

You are right mate, no one want to sell their saved coins without a reason. Similarly need of a person makes him to sell coins, the fact is the dependency. That's want it makes to sell coins else he too can hodl and wait for good return as simple as that.

It is foolish to keep coins in such a market when it falls without a rollback. I have a very sad experience when I could sell coins for a few thousand dollars and now it costs less than $ 100. Who do you think is an idiot? The one who sold or the one who still holds?

Oh well, typical advice on the forum. Bitcoin has become some short of a religion, and the best thing is that it seems to be working as such. That is very interesting sociologicallt.

Of course, the one who sold 10 times less and fixed the loss...he needs to be able to wait

for some reason , many people believe that bounty hunters don't keep the earned tokens on the wallet, but immediately sell them. Perhaps some do, but such people are a minority. I don't participate in bounty programs of projects, whose tokens I consider to be a doubtful investment. Because in bounty, it is also a contribution, not only money , but your time, which is also considered money equivalent. Therefore, 90% of the tokens that I received in the bounty, I'm going to hold for a long time.

You don't know people's personal circumstances to begin with. Many bounty hunters need the money to support themselves and would rather have $50 now than $100 a month from now. Also the large majority of alt coins fall in price from their ICO because their objectives and roadmaps are never delivered upon and investors lose confidence.

then you don't know what trading or strategy means!
hodl is not a trading strategy. it is an investment. and you only invest in stomething that is growing not something that is falling and sinking. in other words you want your investment to grow, but when you invest in an altcoin and hold it you see it melt away as you have been in the past year.

Sell is for the weak hands. Lol. If you believe in the technology of Blockchain, you will surely hodl your quality coins. You will surely benefit and profut from it in the future once the world starts to adapt it. Don't sell just because of FUD or market volatility.

Market conditions that continue to decline will make the bounty hunter choose a shortcut when getting a token or coin the result of the bounty campaign. Most of them will certainly know about hodl but because of the circumstances they will be forced to sell every token that they got. The concept of hold is indeed chosen by someone who believes in the future of a project token or coin, for those who decide to sell are those who only follow a market trend. I think, there are still many bounty hunters out there who still store tokens or coins and are not affected by market conditions.

HODLing a coin you made on a bounty is a good idea if the people are doing a good job of running the project and you believe in what they are trying to accomplish. But if they are not making progress and seem content just to pay themselves salaries without hitting any of the targets in their business plan then in that case HODLing a coin that is obviosly heading to zero would be very stupid. People need to move beyond stupid group think if cryptocurrency wants to be taken seriously.

Sometimes holding is not a good thing if you see your portfolio being suck down like no end. It is still better to cut your losses once it is still small and try to rebuy if you see that dip.

It still depends on the project, there are coins worth hodling and some dump as early as you got your hands on it, I don't think bounty hunters dumping has an impact on the price of the coin, because they have a very small allocation compare to investors, and not bounty hunters sell their coin immediately.

LMAO ROFL. When will you stop creating topics about obvious things and do useful things (Or at least just take a bounty)? Nobody needs these topics, no one will give you merit for it.
"Entities are not to be multiplied without necessity", -  John Punch

You must first find those coins that are really worth it. And to do this you need to conduct a detailed analysis of everything. No one will say that we should keep. What to keep how much to hold?

If you say Hold for Altcoins, then your portfolio should consist of at least 5 to 10 coins, because otherwise, over time, you can lose everything, because projects that were promising today will turn out to be fraud in a year. Be careful and intelligently share your investment.
I consider the ideal scheme to keep 50 percent of our Bitcoin investments, 40 percent of Altcoins and the remaining 10 for trading!

I also think that it is unnecessary to immediately sell the money to kotoyre you received for completing tasks in the Abugti campaign because they can bring you much more money in the future

In my opinion investing crypto with long term vision is the really important . And i think that is the most profitable way. But same time that is really risky. Because long term investment means 2 years or 3 years in crypto and in 2 years too many things can be change in crypto space. so that is really dangerous. we need to find best coins for holding 2 or 3 years but that is really hard.

HODL right for investors, for the long term have big capital. but someone who sells altcoins has their own reasons. there are some people who collect money from them for long-term investments. who knows... please don't judge.

HODL for today I think it's still not right, we can see the development of global cryptocurrencies prices are still in bearish, there is no meaningful movement except the price reduction that we can see every day. almost no one has experienced a significant price increase this month, I myself am a hunter I also HOLD some of the altcoins that I believe in, but for now trading techniques must be applied, HODL temporarily fails to sell and if the price drops dramatically then Buy back

OMG, I just wasted my time to read your topic. LOL. You wrote only old thing which everyone already knew long time ago. You should know that HODL is the basic thing everyone should know before joining this world so why you still have to create a new topic to tell anyone about it? LOL. Maybe I can find out the reason from your red trust. :))

I don´t think hodl at all costs really works. There is a better strategy for different people, and that includes being able to trade and then hold when necessary.

I stick to this strategy. I have a lot of coins in my wallet that cost a penny. I can sell them now and get say $ 100. But I do not need them, so I’ll just hold them in the hope that they will grow. Although there are risks in general to lose everything. But still, I will continue to hold

It is very good to hodl
But without hodling wisely, it is very dangerous
Because you end up taking up all loss and your portfolio in red too without pumps

So be smart, hodl wisely with good vibes
Monitor your trades and take in your profits too

It depends on the situation,for hold for so long and you don't monitor your coin its not a good think.For me I hold it if the value price was low but if I gain profit even a small percentage then I sell it.But if you don't need money then hold it until you wants.

There is no such thing as getting rich in crypto so fast, it will take some time and the best strategy for that is to hold some coins/tokens whose value is cheap then sell them when it will pump 10x. It will take some time to do so, patience would be the key there and you need a ton of it.

The decision to hodl should stem from the importance of the project and it's popularity in the space. If you choose to hodl a coin from a project whose devs have no plans to continue it's development, you'll be wasting your time and money hodling a worthless coin. Because most of these projects will be no more in the 2-3 years

Even though a lot of people are still finding it very hard to believe, hodling is still the best way to make the most amount of money. So many people are panic selling their coins thinking that the price will never go back up but when the price of all of the coins start to do better then they are not going to have anyone to blame but themselves for missing the opportunity

I think there is a truth about Hodl if the coins we get are potentially good in the future. But back to the needs of each person, I used to sell coins that I just got because I needed money for my daily needs.

The topic might be old mate but the story of cryptocurrencies are different now. Most of them are ready to sell their coins as they are in the need of money. It might be a awareness for not to lose money and wait for few more days.

I see the situation in exchange, if the trading volume is strong I will hold coins or tokens, but if the trading volume is not strong I choose to sell it

Personally, my intention in the very beginning was to hodl all my assets as much as possible I can, but since the 'needs' calls for me to sell most of my altcoins that already has value then the needs always comes first before the 'wants'. My earnings from all the bounty rewards is my sole income as of now and this is what I rely with regards to my source of income so I do nit uave much choice than to sell even if I really don't want it to.

In Crypto we should be mindful on the things that we wanted to have. We must pursue a strong hodl policy. Most of the time when I see traders selling their coins on bear market I was like oh my god what's going on??? This are noobs pretending that they want to be rich overtime.

Holding some altcoins are a big profit in the future if you have patience to do it. Because in altcoins you can profit easily if it legits in x10 of buying that in ICO or any phase in token sale.

Each person has his own earnings strategy. Now the market is not very predictable and you need to act on the situation.

We have to think about why some bounty hunters want to sell coins? I think the main reason is that they need to make profits. They have worked for a reward for a long time. They sell for better jobs. So don't be too critical about bounty hunters.

I'm personly using the strategy like selling 50% of profit and rest will hold

HODL is an immortal strategy and an opportunity to save money and save the opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency precisely today in trading. HODL is a necessity that today must be studied by everyone.

 Yes you are right. That is really true. If people want to rich in the future they need the hold their tokens. because it hey will not hold these tokens that tokens can not be valuable in the future.
We all need to help these coins future successes with holding. If we are not doing anything we can not be rewarded. Investors thinking generally really short term. They need to start think about long term gains . With that
way we can reach success.

  Holding is the best weapon to survive when the times come to like what happens right now, it might be painful watching our portfolio gradually breaking but it is the only way to keep our keeps intact rather than selling it at loss.

On the one hand, you are right to hold crypto assets in order to sell them at a good price in the future market. But on the other hand, you need to understand a few important things. First of all, people need money right now and many do not want to hold, but they sell crypto assets and get money, which is what they came for. Further, not all tokens or altcoins in the future can go to growth, but on the contrary, to go down or not to bargain at all. Based on even this information, it can be said that it is better to do what you yourself think is necessary for yourself. If you urgently need money, then of course you need to sell, if you have a promising crypto asset, then of course it makes sense to hold. Only you decide.

Hodl is a very good strategy in crypto currency
But hodl term is only for the wise and intelligent ones

The hodlers that knows when to hodl and sell rightly too

Hodling is all about keeping your tokens and selling at an advantageous moment without missing out

This is also my strategy before but as long as I'm not in need of selling I'll keep on holding.

I only sell if there's a need for me to do need otherwise, I'll remain on hold and will not going to think of selling. I don't have any regret anymore if I'm going to sell because the price now for the coin that I hold mainly bitcoin is higher than the price I'm expecting before.

I share the same thinking as you. But we often need to sell our crypto because we still need FIAT to survive. But really, I believe that time will bring us great surprises.
HOOOOODL

In my opinion, hodl is worst strategy for cryptocurrencies, we must hodl just at bull market and it is very short time already, then months maybe year we are seeing bear market so hodl is very dangerous for crypto world.

I agree, I believe we are still in the early stages of madd adaption for crypto. We will reap what we sow in the nearest future.

I think your words are absurd, irregular and chaotic. this does not explain the subject of discussion and about hold, but rather assumptions that are not clear in the direction

You are right, but this concerns not all coins that come to the market, because not all coins ultimately give the desired result!

i think hold altcoin can bring more profit to holder in many situation, but i think something you can do while you hold your altcoin. You can trade some altcoin you hold to optimal your income and earn a lot of money you can.

What do you expect? Its not that those bounty hunters are getting bitcoin. They are getting tokens which we really don't know if it has a bright future or not? Besides, those who have been working for months needs something in return, so the Hodl approach for bounty hunters is not that applicable.

For me HODLing or the long haul is better appropriate to bitcoin signature campaigns, imho.

This is certainly true, but you need to have nerves of steel to keep the altcoins for so long and see how they grow and fall. Not everyone is so powerful, so they are sold at the first opportunity.

Hodling is the only policy to get your dividends in the future. We all hope, that the bull run will come soon and we will get our profit. You always need to stay calm and to be sure, that the crypto currencies will change the world.

Yes ı think hold is really important thing because we need to continue holding our tokens in hard times especially in bear market. and during that holding we need to buy more with that low prices if we have fiat.
People will feel really sad who sold their tokens during last 5 month.

Yes, I agree not to sell coins that you get in a hurry. But, not all coins that you hold for a long time will increase. Some coins actually only become garbage in the wallet. So, observing and analyzing is needed for you to estimate the possibilities that will occur in the future, don't just hold and wait for it to skyrocket.

You are right but I think it should be another strategy. if bounty hunters want to sell tokens, they will contact the team and they will rebuy bountyhunter's tokens without exchange.

That's right. Everything takes time, but I think everyone has their own reasons when choosing to sell their coins. Some people choose to sell their coins when they have made a profit from them, some people sell them because they are in an emergency situation and some people sell them because they panic if the price falls and they suffer heavy losses. So, everyone has their own decisions, make lessons that you think are wrong and learn for the future.

Yes, you are absolutely right. I do the same since 01-2018 i put everything on hold. My guts tell me that this is the right thing to do. Be patient and have confidence. It`s just a matter of time...lie back and enjoy the ride!

The word 'Hold' in crypto market is not new one. And it may mislead you if you do not understand its meaning properly. If you hold bad coins, then there is not worth doing so. Bad projects will never give you profits. My suggestion is hold only the good coins and hold until you can afford it. Rather learn about trading and crypto before investing.

HODL is ones idea and believe that your coins will bring huge profits in the future, its always wise to hodL I personally build my portfolio for future because I believe its the best thing to do

the average bounty hunter really doesn't understand the words hodl, when the token is distributed, immediately they sell it even though the price is still below, what is important is that they can benefit, and not understand the progress of the project.
that is the current reality

Again and again, you guys will loose a lot if you only hold your cryptocurrencies and believe that one day everything has changed.
I have recently seen a graph on tradingview which shows fall to 3000USD, are you ready for this drop? ;)

The strategy of HODL will be perfectly combined with trust management, if you have a familiar trader and he will take it. I would not entrust my funds to an unfamiliar trader. And so it turns out the perfect combination of strategies, I think.

the meaning of the word hold on to ourselves according to my version, because we each of the different coins become of different potentials. If you take a positive, better way to avoid sales that will not take you anywhere, more or less it would be better to trade in small amounts from being silent.

The word hold is very important on altcoins but many bounty hunters are always scare of holding too much altcoins because of unforseen circumstances of the market but studying the market very, some altcoins are good to hold for long.

On the contrary, I don't think that the term hodl has much value in altcoins specially bounty hunters. I mean they usually dump their tokens once they received it so there's no such thing as holding for them. But I don't blame though, you work hard so it makes sense to sell off to get your reward.

Yes, the retention tactic brings good profits, but it can be improved. To do this, you need to constantly monitor your assets and their development, and when the asset makes a sharp breakthrough, try to sell it at the peak of growth, because after that there will be a correction and you can redeem your asset again with this correction. and make a profit with every such growth.

Yes, it is all the coins that need to be kept for the long term, and preferably for several years and not to sell them immediately after receipt for participation in the bounty.

the hold is a good decision for the long term. But if it wants to trade and view it is a great opportunity to get the results then traded in crypto is not a bad thing. When the market is quite active and lively certainly when holding and silent will miss some good thing that even quite large. so I think to stifle is not entirely be a good decision.

Buying any coin and hodling it, is a though game. You can lose everything you invest
If you have the spare budget, ( that you don't mind losing) you could buy the top 5 or 10, or just keep your budget ready for action and keep watching the news, the coins value go up when news about that specific coin gets dropped most of the times.
But only invest money in crypto you don't mind losing, that's the golden rule!

It's still a great industry, and there are a lot of other ways to make good profits with crypto than just hodling

There is indeed, people like selling their coins quick, especially bounty hunter (but not all of them). Some bounty hunter tend to sell their coins right after distribution and it get listed in the market. But i prefer to hodl the coins that i got, and wait patiently, until the price is goes to the moon.

Everyone has their own analysis, if they want to sell their coins then what's wrong with that, the coins are theirs. Actually, I agree with your opinion, hodl is a strategy to get more profit in the future. But I think, hodl or sell is a choice, it's everyone decision.

yes. my strategy is also hodl for so long time. because i dont have enough time to follow the market everyday and that is why i cant make daily trading. so i prefer to buy and forget for a while.

Those who still hodl will be rewarded guys! It is a pretty simple law, the market pumped and then it is going to down to make the most possible amount of people to quit. After that the market going to the new records.

Investing in the long term is not a very interesting idea to make money right now. Need to survive the current time is not clear state of the crypto market. I think this period will pass quickly and long-term investments will occupy a large structure in the total volume of all crypto investments.

For me I presume HODL to be, HODL ONLY TO DENY LOSS

If you hodl, you stop yourself from falling victim of panics which is disheartening
Always remember to be bold and courageous because that’s the only way to survive this crypto space

Just many are aimed at making a profit as possible in a shorter period of time. Therefore, as soon as the price starts to grow a little bit, many of their owners immediately begin to sell them.

Honestly, I do not understand why people even have the talks about selling out, I really don't because the market has been stable and good. I do not see the concerns these people have and their reasons for not HODLing.

The message should be clear: There is going to be a good future for crypto, its too late for things to go pear-shape. Don't listen to the few pessimists, be positive and keep calm, good returns will follow.

During the fall of the market, all investments instantly turn into long-term ones. There can be no other way. You need to either keep a long time coins for which the price fell or sell them at a loss.

Your point is totally wrong, holding strategy worked just in 2017 when the market was in long up trend, but it's not gonna work all time, holding blindly and dreaming about being rich in 5 years !! nonsense.
I sold out all my tokens that I got form bounty and I don't regret it, because if Ididn't I would have been in big loss by now.

HODL is a two edged sword. It can be good and bad. So the OP words can work for or work against investors and bounty hunters. There are some coins I regret holding till now after I received them. You can't always win.

I'm a bounty hunter too, and i prefer to hodl than selling my reward coin directly after distribution.
I've always tried to keep my coins and wait for it to rise a bit or perhaps a lot before selling them

Thats right, in this situation holding some altcoin from bounty I think its a bad choice. I have been holding some alt almost one year and it didnt has any progress, it just down slowly time by time.

You're right. But not all altcoins will be able to repeat the bitcoin scenario. Perhaps for some coins their current growth is the finest hour and it will never happen again. So in time to sell some coins too is sometimes useful.

for some people bounty is the only income, so they couldn`t HODL. Also, there is one problem, you know that statistic says that around 80% of ICO projects were closed after 3 months of life. HODL?

Many of us here are advicing that holding our coins when there is a low of prices is the best way to earn more profit someday in myself that was correct, if you are not patience of holding your coins and it will result in panic selling and your capital was lost.

Holding no is not good because the market movement looks stagnant and it is also not good time to do daily trading. The market is quit difficult to raise the price. It is probably the worse time after bitcoin reached the top price. However, it doesn't mean that bitcoin will end.

At the instant time, if you have invested in cryptos and are losing money, hold is the only way you will have the opportunity to earn a high profit in the future when the market increases in exchange rates. I can prove that in 2019, the market will grow again and divine that BTC will develop to $ 15,000 and ETH will increase to $ 1,000.

I am one of the people who directly sells my coins when prices are hits. Some of the coins I got from the bounty I immediately sold. Because I'm not sure to hold the coin. If you want to hold it, maybe I will only hold Bitcoin and ETH. I used to hold a few bounty coins then the price was very low. So I'm traumatized by something like that.

That's the actual fact but the truth is that different people have different approaches to cryptos, some are for short term while others are for long term. But me I think holding is still best option when you are thinking of long term. In the future crypto space will still grow.

Selling altcoins at this moment may be for different reasons.
Some people will sell in order to reinvest in another project, while some people will sell on order to cash out in fist.
If you have hodl your tokens for a long time and seen it depreciate in value over time it is unwise to sell now, unless the project is dead and you want to flip your portfolio.

Yes you are right its perfect to hold all of your coin than go on panic sell Iam very sure that 2019 will be a great year to use after what happen in this year

and now finnaly this time has come! bullrun has been started! as we see all coins are grean and Ethereum was 210$ just a day ago. its a good signal to buy crypto

It depends on how their strategy in selling. In this dump market, many people do trading to get the profits, they can utilize the market situation to make some profits. So it doesn't mean selling the coins in this market today is the result of panic. but, if we bought the coins in the higher price and then sell them immediately because of panic selling in the low price, it is  a big matter. And we must actually HOLD the coins, No matter, we must be patient.

Most people thought they are HODLING while storing in an exchange; holding should be done in a open sourCE wallet like HODLER wallet. Holding coin in an exchange will just make you tempted to sell your coins. Holding also require you to have the private key in your hand which exchange could not give. You have to allow yourself to have full authority over your funds and nobody else. You shouLD have the preview of the public code so you yourself could see potential vulnerabilities.

A lot of people are new to the market, they have never seen a bear before so they think that there is no way that the coins are going to go back to the high prices that they were during the last bull but they are wrong but it does explain why a lot of them are selling off their coins with reckless abandon. The best thing to do though is to make sure that we are all hodling so that when the market bulls, we can make a lot of money from it

Not all bounty users sell their cryptocurrency as soon it hits in their wallet but some bounty prefer to hold it because they want to make more income. It is up to you if you want to sell out or to hold but in this current situation the best thing to do is to hold your token. Do not be greedy and be wisely before your regret.

HODL is a good strategy in bull market only but it's bad for bear market like last months in crypto. In this bear market it's better to short or stay in fiat till the market reversal.

I just don't think that you should to sell out all of your coins, when you already had a good price of it. If you safe some, you would to get more.

If you hold while bull are running so strong you will earned huge, but inside bearish you need to be wise as value can be more lesser each time investors decided to sell to panic, it's  always good to reassess your position before you decide whether to go long or enjoy with small profits dealing with short term goals.
