Do you believed that staying strong will reap the biggest rewards. Full-time trader Smith – a.k.a. jaynemesis on eToro – describes his trading style as “fundamentals, future and HODLing”.

As we all know the cryptocurrency is unpredictable, not only crypto but any other traditional businesses such as Apple and Amazon. The history of the original founders who sold their shares for a small value gives regret after a couple of years and I believed you experienced selling crypto due to present market struggle and felt regret after seeing the tokens you had sold increases the value rapidly. Am I making sense? Hodling has huge benefits in the future.

Are you still on HODL?

i think and i believe so, but i suggest to hold only that money that you can afford or you can hold for at least 5 years. otherwise you will sell it in between than there will be no such profit that you are expecting. i am hodler and i will keep it hodl at least for 2 to 3 years.

It’s not a good mood for long-term investment. Today's market stability is good. But I would not risk it and wait for certain signals that show the real state of the rising market.

HODL has huge benefits no doubts about that ,I keep the ones that I feel like its worth the wait because not all coins deserve to be HODL for long ,they might not survive for that long

Long-term trading or investing is a priority for me kind of earnings on the cryptocurrency market. For short-term trading my knowledge and experience at the moment is not enough to get profit and avoid losses in their investment. Often in General account for a single time period long term investments will yield a profit of not less than short-term trade over the same period .

Well yes, my altcoins now are still on hold. I'll just hold them until their price rises high. And also now is the good time to buy more altcoins then hold it for long term so I'm taking advantage of the prices of some promising altcoins that I'm sure that will go high again.

Yes I believe HODL is the way to go for majority of crypto investors - because most of the time we make stupid decisions that makes us lose the money. If all the time I would just HODL would have more crypto than now that I tried to predict - and I cant even predict when will I have to go peeing :)

Yes, I am still a long-term investor and I believe that this is an idential right in such a volatile market for inexperienced investors. ;)

As much as I want to, I'll keep on holding until a new ATH is recorded but there are inevitable situations that hinders us to hold 'tilthe end. A small part of my portfolio was sold in a bear market. It's painful but I must do it that time. Indeed, lucky are those who keep on holding even until now.

Hello mate! Yes, i still hold my crypto from 2018. My investment portfolio is consisted of Ethereum, Ark, Omise and of course BTC! I believe that all these coins will achieve a great success in future!

Of course, hodl is a good strategy, and long-term investments are more likely to generate better profits, and in the long run the market will definitely be able to recover at a higher price.

"Buying and Holding" is the best strategy at the moment, when market is being green soon.
Special, security tokens will allow you to earn profit from companies in future, you should hold them ti the die.
ORC token is one of new trend - security token. You should invest in this project: https://organicco.uk

Less stress is one of the benefits of holding cryptocurrency. You don't just need to be emotional and tired of thinking what might happen. Just think positive about the market and believing that it will rise.

The best strategy in this crypto business is long term investment which is also the best way to go even in other conventional investment, those that can hold their investment for a long term always be the ones dominating the business with largest share because they hold on to what they have and has yielded over the years, the benefit of holding cryptocurrency is exponential gain

I'm a HODL guy. Nobody can understand our purpose, I guess. The strategy of those who are HODL like me is clear. We buy the future of krypton. The most important thing is examining the project. HODL does not make sense for each project. Anyone who knows the coin that has the potential to profit in the future can understand HODL.

There are coins to hold, dump and there are some that you need to trade to accumulate the coins. I do hold some of mine especially when I don't know when the team are going to tweet something that is coming as release of sidechain or the news of the awaiting smartcontract. If they do this is when you see the price goes up. Hodling in the long run would be great if the team are also working to release a project that can give solutions.

You are right, holding coins in this market situation is best option. The market is very bad right now if you hold then you can get good profit. I strongly believe the market will turn green in couple of days.

I can explain why i hodl in the first place, i had an bounty earned token, when it first hits to exchanges its value is 100 usd, but i waited. after 2 months the price is 400 usd and now its price is 700 usd.

I want to say one thing. If you have been holding altcoins and tokens till now. Then you will lose more than 90% of your capital. Because this year has been in a bear market. Your profits have shrunk or even lost. Do you still hold this situation? Though I want to be a holder. But the reality is very cruel. I will restructure the portfolio according to circumstances.

It's the best time to buy and not to hold your coin. But if you been missing the last pump of bitcoin and then it could become the best choice right now and then just hodl it. we still have a lot of chance to get the golden time in the cryptocurrency dude. we will try to do that.

Hodler is a good strategy when you are longterm investor, i mean it does not make sense to hold if you are in for short term because short term market can go either way, it only makes sense for long term investors that are in with holding for atleast 3 to 5 years, cryptos are structured in such a way that over the longterm they are bound to grow in value.

HODLing is a good strategy in a bull market but is't bad for bear market like crypto in 2018. Almost all investors are holding crypto in 2018 suffers losses. HODL is the only choice for those who do not know how to trade or do not have enough free time.

Inasmuch as am a believer of long-term holding, not all coins deserve to be hold for long term. Some are just there for you to increase your portfolio and sell off. Not even all developers have long-term vision for their project. So as an investor, one must be diligent in choosing the coin to hold for long term

With what I have learnt so far in trading and crypto most especially is patient which I think Paramount and can decide whether you hold or not I believe there is time for everything and most people learn in hard way as the market was not fully understood by many and when the dip arrived most get burned.

There are some coins that are worth hodling for long term and the prospects surrounding them are worth hodling them. But in the world of crypto today, the value of a lot coins have dropped significantly from their ATH and this forces you to hodl them for a long term just to recoup your initial investment. There are some coins I've decided to hodl for upwards of 5 years and I believe they'll be very profitable for me them.

All benefits you will get later. Holding is a long-term game and only patient gamers will be rewarded. Keep calm and HODL!)

I am not really hodling right now, better term is bagholding! Its hard to stay calm and hodl when I loose 75-80% of my portfolio from start of this year. I know that hodling is only way to have some big gains, but if I sold in bull market just 20% of my coins, right now I could double all coins in my bags!

The one important benifits of holding your coin is you give your coin a fair amount of chance to grow and get you real big profit as you see potential that this can happen.

yes, I still hold several altcoins especially for bitcoin and ethereum. I think this decline is not the first time in crypto history. this is only a matter of time

For me, Im still hold some of top 10 coin but not in high number. But at the end of the day I feel not very benefit from just only hold coin, thats why I prefer to sell some of mine & put it on daily trading. Both of daily trading & hold are just have the same risk at this moment, cause all that we have to know are there is no guarantee in anything when your are make investment.

Yes, of course with HODL we will get more profit. Although it is unpredictable, prices in the future I am sure will continue to rise. But the HODL is a very difficult thing if it is not really strong, it can lose our assets. I have now lost money because I bought ethereum, but I bought ethereum for the long term. So I have a strong HODL.

Well, you can hold good coins, there is nothing wrong. As the market has been down, so there is not point in selling in this bearish market. So, the best option is to hold your coins as long as you can.

There is always a bigger profit in holding the coins for long period of time. One should wait for at least 2 or 3 years before selling a coin if he is planning to hold. And some certain events in the market often causes panic that leads to sudden sell of the coins. One should calm himself and think logically about all the outcomes and only then he should make a decision.

hold still a promising thing and many are doing so. but when just starting a small capital and then hold necessarily the wrong decision because results will be felt in a long time, of course. might be better to set up his own strategy whether it's holding or trading day because both still be things that would be quite promising if able to offer it.

but when we holding coin, we should have the reason behind on it.dont hold coins that have no good roadmap or developtment in future.it could make its price down alot.

Yeah HODL is good for minimalizing the risk of losses but sometimes no. HODL also need a huge patience. You don't know how much bad and good experience I have got when HODLing a coin.

I Still remember one of my bad experience HODLing a coin from the price 1800 sat until ONLY 7 Sat. I don't want to tell you which one coin I mean because is secret  :P. I HODLing almost 1 year, and I should sell my coin because I really urgent need a money at this time....

I also have a good experience HODLing a coin, I have a coin that I got from bounty. When first time listed on exchange it only worth for 2200 sat and I decided to HODL. And then after a long time HODLing price increased until 7800 sat  ;D, that makes me happy...

I had faced that condition before, but i tried not get so much regret from selling my coins at that time, cause there will be another chance that i could get more.
So about HODL, i'll be doing it on some coins. and for that i've already has some coins in my wallet.

holding is the most safe of getting profit in crypto currency. it doesnt need any work, busy and store safely. anyway still you can day trade and increase your portfolio. i will mention a example. i bought XVG at $0.002 and sold at $0.24. so i got huge profit within 6 months just from holding.

HODL is a good way to get benefits if you can´t keep on top of the market everyday. The best you can do with little time and not much money is to wait and hope that things go fine.

It isnt just about whether to hodl or not, or its pros and cons. With so many factors involved, it is necessary to educate yourself, secure yourself and then take a decision accordingly, what to hodl and for how long.

Well, if you believe so, then you must go on with it. Also the track record of BODL is good to, so it might emerge perfectly in the future, also even after the volatile nature, the coins are a bit stable in recent times. So the chance of loss is so low.

not always good but some I do hodl my token , although I'm not so sure, when I'm not ready to lose, I'll hold my token. a little silly but that's what I did ::).

I would say holding a coin have benefits and this is a good thing for long-term investment. Even if I'm tempted to sell some of my tokens, i have to stick with my goals and wait for the tokens to rapidly increase its price. I started to see the real value of my tokens and some of them needs more time because the project should developed first.

Some people said that it is very risky holding but that was after December 2018 because before then we were all  praising the holders of they strong investment decision.  I think holding is the best way to make good profits from this cryptocurrencies market.

I was a true hodler but bear market ruins it.
I will never ever hodl my coins in bear market again.
Hodling is just right in bull run, otherwise it's a trap I think.

I have come to discover that if you are not patient enough to hold, you might not get reasonable profit on your tokens. It is always an opportunity to hold a good token, because such will surely rise.

It is not applicable to all coins though. There are times when I regret not selling it earlier when the price is still good whereas compared to now, it is already around 10% of that price. During all time high, prices were good but now, it has already a smaller equivalent value. HODL would be good if the coin you are holding would be in demand in the future but then if we can see that state of the coins and tokens right now wherein some are slowly dying then HODL would not be a great idea then.

If the coin has good fundamentals though and it seems like in the future, the demand would be growing then HODLING it might be worth it. But for others then it would be great if  you can just buy and sell it as quick as possible.

I will admit I sold I about 25% of my holdings in January, but I've bought back more than I sold at lower prices. But at these levels there's no reason to sell... I believe current prices to be about the bottom that cryptos will go.

Looking what to hold. If you are the owner of a promising coin. Then most likely the holding will bring you profit sooner or later. However, if you decide to keep low capitalization altcoins, then they may simply not survive in such a market and the importance of investments will never pay off.

We are on the bottom floor. So many people regret it because they have not sold their portfolios when it reaches the peak price. Remember about this time they can buy back again and some people said they have almost created 10x from their first portfolios.
Buy more or regret it later. There was a little signal to the bullish trend.

Whatever decision you made as long as you aiming for the best outcome you'll find time to study the market flows, holding quality coins can be boring but because you have well knowledge about the project and your projections for long term goals will bring you a huge outcome regrets won't be part of your thinking, stay focus and earned after the bounce back.

The present market stability indicates eradication of extreme volatility. The HODLing of currencies might affect the prices positively and the high profits might be gained in the future.

HODL can bring great profits or benefits but there are many risk factors to consider too. So it is advised to invest the money in the coins that will be hold which one can afford to loose.

I think there are two type of hodlers. One of them is hodling cause of obligation, because they bought high price and now they do no not want to get loss.  The others are reliable investors, they had examined and researched the project, now waiting to see the future.

This part of year is very crucial for business. The year end is almost upon us and last couple of years' trend shows price of bitcoin usually goes high in this period. I don't see people not holding up untill now

HODL will bring you benefit if you act smartly. A long time investment is always a good strategy and the way the market is shaping up, it's the best thing to do.

Well, this is how the business works, its not a job and job has its own benefits and drawbacks. You can have a confirm salary but you can't more then that where as business works the other way, there is no fixed salary, it can go real high or real low. So i still prefer business, which crypto is, over jobs.

Judging with the current market conditions now and you don't sell during the bullish season just like me and tortured your mind for a while. Hodl is the only  options and if you have extra fiat its the best opportunity to buy.

While I hodl very small amount of bitcoins, I have sold almost every alt coin I had. Price jumped so high that you had to be crazy not to sell everything you were hodling. I don't think we will see ever again so high coin values, this maybe was one time opportunity. I don't see long holding as an option any more, short is much better.

I'll rephrase what you said.

"You don't sell during the bearish season".

If your minds are being tortured now becuase of the market's condition then you have to find something interesting to calm yourself. Don't push yourself far from what it used to be with the market. Take time to consider buying as well while you are holding if you've got some spare cash.

Ill believe that holding some of my altcoins that i have was worth.
Than to sell it early even if the prices of it was in low situation and not earn some profit of it.

yes, the only good strategy to profit from crypto without making a hard work mind is holding, I also hold several altcoins for almost 6 months. but I feel this is not enough. making profits quickly in crypto is very risky. so it's best to keep holding for the long term.

Yes, of course, I still believe in the blockchain and cryptocurrencies and I am sure that these investment will bring me good results

Hodling any cryptocurrency is mainly because you want to be like that patient dog that eats the fattest bone at long last. It is like locking away an investment with the believe and hope that such an investment will yield massive percentage increment in the future. Instead of selling for peanuts now, why not sell for better returns in the near future? So many persons have made tremendous wealth from holding unto their digital assets. It is a strategy that has worked miracles for many. If you are new into cryptocurrency, the best way to go is to hold some good coins or tokens, while learning day trading. It's the best way to go.....

Yes everyone feels like holding for a long time but you can never get your eyes off any coin you're holding and knows it worth thousands of dollars and all you do is full time trader and hunter so tell me if you will hold when you are in need of fund. You know what only those who earn tokens as side work and only hold.

yes, of course i still hodl my assets on my wallet
there is no reason for me to sell it in the cheap price my friend
because, soon or later the market will be back  ;)

Many people are focused on holding at this moment because selling won't give any positive outcome for investors especially at this point wherein downtrend on the market value of cryptos are continuous. As such, holding would make the investors safe from regrets once recovery take over the negative market situation. Although holding won't be easy since profit loss is observable, it is still considered as the best thing to do on such behavior in the market.

Recently, holding was becoming a good way to earn much profit because most of coins were have good value. It is consider as safe way and not wasting time. It is now becoming a worthless even many coins is losing out the value from the market. It is better to do trading or short investment.

I am holding some of my coins that in my mind will give me some profit as time goes by but i am selling all those coins that have no support on their devs. There are a lot of shit coins that you may have and it is your job to research on them and the future they bring as they might only cause you loses in money.

The best solution is to buy coins and keep them for several years. You will smile to remember that bitcoin when it was worth 6000-7000 :)

Holding is a good strategy if the portfolio is made correctly. Not everyone has time to trade. But investing in the crypto market, it is necessary to constantly monitor the news and adjust the crypto-portfolio if necessary. and be sure to fix the profit!

Holding gives the investors a chance to earn bigger profit from being patient on holding. Also, holding would help the investors to avoid profit loss especially whenever the market value of cryptos are falling which do happens a lot due to the nature of volatility on cryptos. Right now, holding would make an individual in crypto, be safe from regret s if ever recovery would happen soon.

When looking at this for the long haul then hold will be a good thing. but when viewed from the side the need for results and also entered the capital with crypto in not too large then the daily trade precisely that will be expected to help deliver results. the hold will be able to provide the appropriate profit expectations when it's on a large scale.

I believe the hold can still make a good profit. Of course not all coins are worth holding, but I have some that I trust and will keep them because I think they will be able to survive this fall and show a good price.

but in seeing the current market situation, I think HODL is also not suitable, because most charts form a decreasing pattern, expectations that initially get profit within 1 month can change up to 2-3 months.

My advice just hold them if you get the lowest price don't buy at new ATH then hold it until next year or you will only get losses
But if you can't getting the lowest price, you can buy several altcoins that have low supply and never has been pumped high before

If you don’t need to withdraw money urgently, then in the long-term holding you can get a large amount of money, but it may take a year or more, and the most important thing is patience and choose the right time to sell.

A lot of people just think they HODL... If you store your funds on an exchange you are not hodling anything. If you don't have the private keys, you can lose money any time, like many people had. How many people keep their crypto on coinbase or binance and just wait to lose it? This is not hodling. The very point of bitcoin was to make banks obsolete, and people now use exchanges as banks - letting someone else take control of your money.

The same goes for people who store their crypto in closed source wallets. How can you be sure what happens to your private keys if the application is not open source? Again you are trusting people you don't even know with your financial security - this is not hodling. Only if you own private keys and use a fully open source wallet (like Electrum for bitcoin or HODLER for storing multiple coins and tokens) you truly HODL and can be sure of long term security of your funds.

I still HODL my cryptos, I believe that someday the market will increase and hopefully in the month of December is the key to start increasing in the market and will continue to increase in the next year.

You can save a day, a month maybe a year with trade, but you can save your life also even your grandchilds' life with hold.
But common wrong knowledge about hold is choose one coin, it will increase in the bull definetely. This is not differences from gambling. You can go to las vegas. On the other hand you should choose coin that has a very good project and good future and after that you can sleep rest because it will increase in bull market %100 for sure.

Yes, I am still hodling and believe that one day the Bitcoin price will reach 100k USD. Long term investment is not easy, but in the theory it is the most profitable art of investing. Short term is more risky and could lead to the deposit decease.

Of course, the long-term storage, it is one of the most profitable strategies, but as you mentioned there are more risks as it is not clear yet what will be waiting for the cryptocurrency in the future. Therefore, I propose to develop in the trade and also use short-term investments.

My friend lets say btc will reach 100k. If we think you invest btc from 6k, it means in the future you have 16,6x. On the other hand can you imagine when the btc will 100k, how many x made by the great project altcoins? I guess min 1000x. You can see some altcoins made it the last bull market, just last year, even btc was 20k. My suggestion invest wisely, find good project and buy them instead of btc.

I think many of the crypto enthusiast here has already experienced the good benefits of hodling coins, but for me hodling is a two way system, you can earn profit for future investments, you can also gain no profit because prices may also not increase.

the problem is to find the new coin that can do a big % of price grow...we must look for coins that are not ico or bounty but people are too stupid for this....I regret I did not get bought coins like litecoin,vertcoin or viacoin when they were very very low in 2015...there is a good dose of luck of course, but you must always do your own researches...for example watch Elicoin in livecoinwatch , is not an ICO or bounty... it's a coin with low mc, low supply, PoW whit cpu, no premine, active dev...only trading it on CREX24 for now...do you own researches in the thread in bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3028302.0... people are too stupid for DYOR and got scammed by ICO or bounty...just my 2 cents...hope it helps...cheers

for now, holding back is a good strategy to avoid losing too much. but I think there are only a few coins that can be held for the long term, so you really have to monitor market conditions.

Agree. HODLing cryptocurrency really has great and many benefits. The concept of hodling crypto is buy crypto then wait for value of the crypto to increase. It is just like investing money that you can afford to lose because it is just like gambling your money for good. You do not have choice but to wait for your investment to gain profits.

Don't just look forward until December, the crypto market can grow more than what you are expecting.

If you are familiar with the words on the web about internet during early days. People aren't believing on it that its going to be one of the biggest need by the world. And now look on how far the internet is, we need it we our daily living and we're on that day now where internet isn't recognized yet and being judged wrongly.

This is what truly Hodling means- being sure that all funds you store is all under your control and no trusted party is need to take over the funds. Exchanges and banks should no longer be needed, Coin holders should have full control over their fund and they should also  have the access to view public code and see potential vulnerability so it can be easily fixed. Hodler wallets fits the need of every holders, it is multi asset storage and also open source which other Waller could not be offered.

Sometimes hold of crypto has no one benefit and can make you to lost a part of fund. Crypto is unpredictable indeed and holding is a big risk but as we know risk can bring a lot of money. So it's up to you

Yes i am still holding and i really believe holding. I think the most important things is you need to find a really promising project
and after that you need to hold their tokens until next bullrun or until according to their roadmap milestones.  Short term people surely can earn
some money from coins but if you want to earn big amount of money people need to choose holding. They have to support that space if you want to earn money.
If everyone start to flip everything market get rekts surely.

Indeed, defending will find a bright spot of luck, so that we can take good opportunities at certain times.
Hold can make the coin more potential and have a high value.

I believe that hodling has a lot benefits as long as you hold your possessions tight and your only focus is longterm. Apple and Amazon are great example of successful companies which build from scratch at first no one believes until they have proven enough and reach the pinnacle of success. In crypto what were about to hold must have real product and value and not just a fad or driven by hype other your holding a garbage.

Now it only remains to keep tokens. Nobody wants to sell at a very low price, so we will only keep, well, if possible, buy.

The benefits of holding are simple guys. You see coins like Paragon, Stellar and Cardano are really good for investments and earnings. Keep storing them right now.

If you pay attention to a long-term or medium-term HODL, then you will see that in general it is a very profitable business, of course, if you bought a BTC for $ 20,000, then today’s definitely not your time, it will come in 2 or 3 years, maybe earlier, but I’m not I think it will be better soon.

Long-term investments have lost their attractiveness over the past year. Unfortunately, many investors left the crypto market. Many did not show restraint and patience. They can not be blamed for the fall of the market. Now the main thing is that the market will attract these investors back.

I have been in the crypto world for 1 year. And I have never had such a thing that I sold altcoins and after a while they increased in price. It was always the case that they fell even more in price. Therefore, I do not like to hold.

Yes, I still keep my coins, because cryptocurrencies came to the market not for one day.

For me the benefits of holding the coins is the fact that I do not have to worry about catching the coins at a good price like you have to do with trading, I just set a price target for the coins and wait for it to hit that price and once it does then I sell and take out my profit, very easy and I don't have to do a lot, all I have to do is just be patient
