HODL for only the brave  ???
What do my friends say, I think our hopes will be rewarded! ;)

I do hope, but to put it bluntly.
My hope is starting to waver because of this market, I feel so bitter watching all of my investment goes down for more than 80~90% from its original price.
while at the same time I need to encash it for my need.
even though it's not all of them but still, this bear is killing it.
did you feel the same thing, my friend?

Well to correct you dealing in crypto currency itself is meant for brave people. As not all of them could sustain losses and being so much volatile it is not everybody cup of tea. People just would have heard so much rise happening till last year and this year they would have seen the fall as well and now would know that higher the risk and higher the reward.

yeah, not all the people still have the brave to continue hodl their assets in current market situation, maybe they will laugh on us and said that we're the stupid guys, use real money buy virtual coins, but I think no need to say anything because I'm sure that market will recover soon, let them regret later  :)

With the current market conditions where bears are in control and dominating everything i agree with your statement that hodl is for the brave because most people do panic sell after seeing continuous dips and crashes only the longterm, brave and courageous investors who truly know the worth and future of crypto are hodling.

I personally hold not only all the BTC and ETH but my favorite coins such as Waves, Monero, MGO, NXT, etc. too
Completely no reason to sell during this market because it will result in a greater loss for you surely. Yes, we can't know the future BUT it's at least possible for coins to recover in price. If you will quit now and sell there will be no possibility to potentially grow for your holding anymore!

And yes, HODL is only for the brave  8)

Agreed. Sit tight till high!

You only lose money if you sell ;) I believe we will see a decent re-bounce in 2019, probably during early Q2. The worse case I will do is selling my cryptos at the prices I bought at. I have been a true HODLer since May 2017. ;D

It depends which coins we are holding as not all of them will recover for sure. I would like rather to be wise than brave in these market conditions and not wait for the market to recover. We can make profit in bear market as well.

Our hopes will have reward but it may take longer than before. The big bubble will always come in the future but don't know when that will come in the future. I thought that just try to put our believe in our portfolios for the future.

yep, hodl only for the strong hands my friend
and our hopes will be rewarded if we hodl the right coins not a shitcoins  ;)

I used to think the same way. But now is a completely different time and I think differently. It seems to me that HODL is no longer profitable.

When hodling, depend it on the coin you are about to hodl. There are coins that have future, some are not. If you think it is worth to hodl just hodl it and have hope that it would boost and profit will be in your hand soon.

I think that the big bull of December 2017 has been rectified now and soon the market will start floating normally as it did before that bull run. That 2017 bull was manufactured and now it has returned to its original and now the lessons has been learnt, don't get greedy.

I think hodling is only for the brave.
I got scared and sold last Q1 and Q2 of 2018. I'm glad I sold all!  8)

Now I can buy back more btc, xmr and eth  8) ;D 8)

I think it will be very rewarding if we dare to hold and stock more for now, but it also hold so many risk, the situation for crypto market is very chaotic and fluctuative, a lot of negative sentiment has been raised, but I still believe in crypto for long term, for short term it will be hard to see crypto rise

Many people in cryptocurrency recently are canvassing for people to stop holding and start selling.  What we need to realise is that holding is like sowing,  it will eventually pay of if you seed stay under the ground!

In investing bravery is part of taking risk and too much brave without intelligence is dangerous.

It's not about of being brave because if you already took the risk, then you are brave enough for it. HODLING is for everyone, brave or not as long as you are a supporter/enthusiast/investor. There's no specific measurement on who are the brave ones.

Hodling and investing in crytos is not for feebleminded but for the courageous and brave people who prefers to hodl despite the dwindling and drop in the prices of cryptos because of the risk involved is very enormous while some people will sell off their portfolio in this  period of bearish runs.

Hopes make a man delight..I hope all time bitcoin and ethereum market will rise soon and who hold assets they will reward must. Because something good waiting for patients holders.

i hope and i believe, i am sure that one day we will get reward of our holding like everyone did and get it in past. i always believe in the technology and i am sure that this is future technology and every one will accept it.

Crypto itself at this point is for the brave,only the brave are holding their own now in crypto sphere.Talking about hodl,we need to be smart with our decision when it comes to hodl.Don't hodl to loose.

Investing in cryptocurrencies does require patience and courage. I also hope that crypto can run fast again, but the daily market decline makes me feel suffocated!

HODL is simply the most rational strategy right now, and if you have funding then purchase extra coins to reduce your overall cost averages. I never invested with cash I couldn't afford to manage without so for me it is just a patient waiting game and looking forward to a better 2019.

I have a better solution, but also more risky. I expect the fall to continue early next year. You can sell now and buy the same assets later. So you will have the same portfolio + a few dollars.

I think that if you hodl, you are brave enough to take the risk. Because hodling may lead to earning or profit deficit. When you are lucky enough to hold and benefit in the future investment then you make the good choice. But if not, then it will lead to bankrupt.

So it doesn't make sense to keep patience? Okay give me some solutions to get profit in this ridiculous market. Also I have a question for you have you Invested in any coin? If yes then you might changed your post. Even the big whales are waiting patiently to see the pump in market mate, I have been waiting patiently from the past 7 months to get profit from crypto.

It will be obtained on the holder who is really patient in holding. the point is if you are not strong to be patient and endure for a long time. lets say more than 3 years then don't waste your time holding it. because in the near term the price of bitcoin can lose much its value and make you lose. its like suicide if you hold for short term only

Victory really should belong to the insistent, but I think this way can only target a part of the coins that have value in the future. A lot of altcoin choices may be a bit risky. If it is bitcoin, don't worry about its future.

       If you have a strong belief of cryptocurrency particularly of your holding then for this bear market you can hold farther because of your braveness and to those who are weak you've already cut-off your loses by selling it all your holding .

Actually, I really don't see those coins rising this year. Although, I might be wrong. Everything is just about risk, but I think there would be more of fall rate, at least, till this year ends. But, you may just decide to keep holding since you've been holding for quite long.

This seems to be the best way now, especially for investors who bought cryptocurrencies in December 2017. But for those who don't buy cryptocurrencies, they are lucky now because they can buy more favorable coins.

HODL may be the right thing to do but some times it is not! We have to know that when will say HODL or sell. It is the key of profit. And I guess, there is no relations between HODL and courage. It is related with stupidty and profit.

I guess everyone who or every investor will do a hodl when he knows the potential of cryptocurrency, or at least they have read every aspect of cryptocurrency. In addition, every hodler is one who chooses long-term investments. For every investor who chooses the long term, there is no good way than to keep holding rather than selling their investment.

Crypto generally is really for the brave, imagine hodling and right in your eyes, your investments are going down the drain leaving you with almost worthless coins. Saw this pic on Facebook and it's a clear reflection of the portfolio of so many people at the moment.

that acct has nothing in it. i just deposited that much into my acct last nite

Honestly, I do not have 100% confidence, but I decided that I would be Hodl before the victory, and only mine))

Yes my crypto friend circle also think like this and I also believe so I keep holding my all coins for long-term because I believe in Crypto currencies they will bounce back in coming months. But When I need money urgently I always think twice which coin should I sell but I can not do anything because in need we will sell we can not hold.

Yes, because the majority of people are unable to wait for longer than a year. Everybody is crying that the market is still in downtrend because they have bought everything at the peak prices and are now suffering.

I have a similar situation, my portfolio shows a fall of 98% ... I think the similar situation for the majority, a minority came to Fiat !

A friend of mine said it the following way: HODL is for the brave, short is for the wise  ;D

From the past, how Ccryptocurrency space have moved forward till the position right now we are having, only those brave people are enjoying big profits. I agree that HODL is only for brave people. Because most of the people are getting panic and making wrong decisions whenever they see some dips in market conditions. Those who are preferring to hold will never get panic. We all know who will get panic and you will not get.

Definitely market will bounce back from this current situation and then we will get our rewards for the decisions we had made to continue our holding. Only if we are holding we will be getting some chances to enjoy some big rewards. If we sell out right now then it is very much similar to quitting the crypto world completely. Once we quit how we can get chances to enjoy those big rewards ? So, we must hold in this hard time too.

hold not for member but for fools. hold is not the right choice. you better leave the market instead of continuing to hold crypto at the bear market without doing anything.

I always hold for security  ;)

Too much hope will make you blind in making a decision. Let's hope but do not expect too much. Hope is not going to help you, but being patient and alert can help you make a profit.

HODL is not only for the brave but for the ones who can do the right decisions when the time comes. How long is the medium HODL period, how does one even know when to stop HODLing and sell?

Sometimes it really is wiser to sell your bags. There is nothing wrong and shameful when you really have to cut the losses.
You indeed have be cold-blooded and with a strong will to have a successful HODL, but you should also get when to stop it and later (when bottomed out) buy back in.

Doesn't need to be brave to HODL, you only need to be wise enough and trust that the market will recover sooner or later. It applies to almost all aspects in life, you need to wait until the right time. If you quit now, then you lose.

AFAIK

This picture came from CCT's facebook group. His caption said its total worth before was $1,000 and now its only $200+.

And now only this and remains. Selling at this price makes no sense. We can only wait for better times and hope for another large pump. Then our hopes will come true. Only while it is unknown how many will have to wait.

Brave people margin trade.
HODL-ing is for lazy people who expect someone else to make them rich.
Moon days are over, 100+trades a day is the only way to get rich from crypto. It's also a way to lose all your money. Good luck!

Holding requires a lot of energy and therefore it is not out of place to say it is for the brave. It is not pleasant to watch ones portfolio keeps dropping in value due to heavy market dumps. Particularly I have seen a lot persons sold their holds when the coins have dropped in value beyond limits which they could hold.

Lol. Now this is becoming a test of patience for holders like us haha. And i think of you've held long enough up to this point, you're likely to hold until we see a positive movement from the market. I mean, we've come this far right? Wouldn't make sense to lose it all 😁

That maybe true but it could also be for those who do not know how to trade well and left with no other choice but to hold.

I think you don't have to be brave but only intelligent and think... it you don't actually need money you invested in crypto it's a really BAD idea to sell your coins now and it's better to hold and be patient... good times will come again in next future!

I agreed with OP, holding crypto coins really take some courage. Especially when you see the price dip everytime. That is why I always say, crypto is not for the weak heart.

if you missed the opportunity to sell at significant levels for a coin, then keep hold till the end. those people who sold very cheap then when growth begins again they will buy more expensive

It is not neccessary to be brave for holding or something. If you really know that your coin will rise, why don't hold? Do your best and you will earn something.

The song of the brave at this time in the life of bitcoin is HODL. There is more reward for those who HODL before now back in 2013, 2016, and 2017. What we all are experiencing is the habitual conduct of bitcoin before the bubbles, so, the brave song will be the most reward song when it finally come, let us HODL.

More than bravery, I think it's ignorance, why do hodl if in recent months the market has done nothing but fall and fall? is not better to try to apply another strategy? such as trading, shorting or development of different dapps, hodl is what has us in this dilemma in the first place.

To be optimistic we have problems around but instead of leaving the market we have to make some solutions for it and brave people are good if they have patience and they believe in hard work they can succeed in life soon for me it is good to keep my coins rather than selling at low prices and it is very easy that Holding is better strategy for businessman.

courage is needed but we also have to know, when is the time we hold and sell.
as we know the crypto market is very volatile, don't waste the opportunity, if not your courage will drop you. be a smart investor

actually leaving the market completely is not a good choice, because we can still get profit there, by fast trade, and then we buy back at the price below. because the current market is very fast fluctuating

I think to get profit from crypto, we need to make choices even though it's difficult. I still choose the hodl even though the price falls, and I believe in the future my choice will make a profit.

How valuable information is ! Brave always gain something better in life . I believe this thus I accordingly work with brave and holding bitcoin for getting more profitable price.

And trading is for the stupid. In general, I agree with you. Since there is no point in performing any actions with your cryptocurrency now. If you are afraid that the market will not recover, use the USDT and continue to monitor the market. I think everything will be fine. Yes, it is a recession, but the market must recover

Don't take risks, I think this is not a matter of courage but this is a matter of assets and money. emotion is the enemy in crypto trading and excessive courage is also an uncontrollable emotion.

When looking at the red market and continuing to fall most people will sell the coins they have to cut the bigger losses but people who dare to take risks and be prepared for what they will get will choose to continue holding them. But, do not just capitalize on courage and hope that everything will be as expected, do not forget to continue to observe market developments.

Hodl is also for the forgetful types. Put your money in a coin and forget about it, come and check in some years. If you choose right, your investment is multiplied and you will have a happy life.

it's true the problem is that there are already a lot of investors who use the method of holding it back to get a large income and profit. because they are very brave about the risks he will get

if everything changes and the exchange soon improves, I'm sure the achievement will exceed what happened in early 2018, now many people think that bitcoin and crypto are dead

I think you need to have patience in this market. Crypto is a great thing but only with patience you will succeed here. I don't have fears about loosing because my hope is stronger.

It's not just for the brave but also for the "no better option".
Since our portfolios are badly beaten, there's not much of a choice really. I would rather hold than sell at a huge loss.

In such a difficult situation, which is on the market at the moment, it is difficult to control oneself and not lose faith in the cryptoindustry! After such a global stripping only the most courageous and enthusiastic will remain! And those who continue to keep their coins, in the future hope to get a good profit and I believe that we will succeed!

You've said it all its only the brave that can still be hodl even when crypto is actually collapsing on all of us, so many are in great panic selling off all their altcoins but I'm happy to announce to everyone that still have shock absorbers to be holding their coins that they will laugh last

If the market will grow, I think HOLD will be rewarded. If the market continues to fall, no.

It all depends on when you sell to the market and at what price you purchased your assets. Hope may well be justified, but I am sure that a very small number of people will be able to suffer until the time when it comes.

I think I'm going to profit from the coins I keep. I don't sell when the market is so bad. I will continue to wait patiently. I think I can make a lot of profit after a year. I advise you to be patient. I think that the rise will begin in the second quarter of 2019.

In a bear market, the best profit comes from trading in cryptocurrencies. It is very good to trade on exchanges right now. The main thing that was not a very strong fall in prices.

Did you enjoy when your investments were flying x2 or x5 ? Ups and downs are happening with any market and we must accept these by simply watching it. If you have invested only the money you do not need immediately then you can find chances to watch this market calmly. We must invest only the excess money so that we never need to encash for any need.

Not just crypto currency markets, I believe all the investment opportunities are only for brave people. Because, making an investment decision is not at all an easy task for our hard earned money. If you want to risk your hard earned money then you must need some big guts which is not at all possible for all the people.  People who have made decisions to invest with crypto must also decide to continue their holding. That is the real symbol of bravery.

Never bother about others opinion. Who is going to laugh finally will be the biggest question here. When all the holders will be making big profits, those people will find their laughing moments again ? Definitely will not. Just focused on holding and also we must focus on buying more on every dips. Making use of these falling down market is more important along with continuing holding.

hold not just about brave and not. It is about a decision strategy to be able to get profit from crypto. then just getting the losses and a decline happens, then hold for the long term would be better. may indeed be tasted old and sometimes making doubt to hold.

FTFY,  ;)

Long Time holders are no different from Gamblers, both lose everything by waiting too long.

People that Never Sell , Never Profit!

As per many experts here, those bears will lose its power in coming days as bulls will come into action once some big positive news like BITCOIN ETF gets its approval. Before, bulls will come into action, we must make sure having enough stash of coins to enjoy big rewards. That is the reason we must continue our holding and also we must keep buying time to time.

Me I'm a trader what i do is, I use only my extra money on trading and investing in crypto. the idea is if you use only spare money for investment crypto you can HODL as long as you get your price target ;D and their is a saying "Invest and Forget"   

Now there are only brave guys left on the market who still believe in crypto. All the others have long merged from the market. I think that because of our faith and patience, we will soon be rewarded.

i hold my coins for a long time now and i have a lot of patience to wait for more time. i did invest what i can afford to lose so i do not panic when the market is red. i hope price will go up next year.

To HODL is not an east task my friend,you should say HODL is only for the strong ,someone who can ignore every market dipping and FOMOs and stay focus ,that ain't easy task but we hodler don't have choice with patience and time we will get there either it comes early or late

HODLing is not like sowing. Staking your coins is like sowing because they actually grow. Cryptocurrencies are cyclical. In its short 10 year history, BTC has had 3 bear markets where it lost over 80% of its value. If you sold your 1 BTC last Christmas when everyone was buying and stayed in cash until now when everyone is selling you would be able to buy 5 BTC with that money. If you are brave enough to do the opposite of what everyone else is doing you will make a lot more money than HODLing.

I also hope that all those who adhere to the Hodl tactics will win a lot when the market starts another reversal!

Maybe you can trade it and do some day trading on binance, bitfinex, or bittrex? Do something despite of the current market, and observe the downtrend since there is still an uptrend here because of buyers, so you can still make profit out of it.

if it is profitable, everyone will do the hodl to get a big profit, but if done for a long time this will definitely be profitable.

Your friends are right, HODL is for the braves. We can lose everything or gain more money. I hope we took the right decision.

Yep, let's hope that the market will recover in the next year, holding is only way to earn profit with this bad condition of the market so we will be rewarded soon if we keep hold.

actually holding to long wasnt good for our asset value.except  we are ready to accept its risk from this movement.cryptocurrency moved with high volatility and if we wasnt true holder we could be panic.

If you not brave you can sell your bitcoin or altcoin, only for brave could hold and keep save their asset until price is back to higher, many investor have panic and sell at lower price because always afraid with bitcoin or altcoin price drop and dump.

saving coins that we have when the price is down, it requires a struggle that is not easy because, holding back the air to be angry, and must be patient to save coins and wait for the price to return, and actually we also need support from the people around us to be strong.

There is no way to force holders to sell their crypto as there are some very long term holders that never care about the price in 2 years or even more from now.

We're here because we are hesitant and stupid or we have no time for it and our portfolio is a small amount of our investments we won't regret! In fact, we had to sell and buy at lower prices!

You are right. Holding coins and tokens must be based on an analysis. Not always holding the coin profitable, and vice versa. A strong person is capable of surviving fud and is confident with his own analysis, with various risks.

I think that it is now in crypto only the most brave and patient. And all our efforts will be rewarded during the new bullrun. I think we will have to wait a little longer, everything will start closer to the second half of 2019.

I do not understand why wait for price increases calmly. You can daily trade on the stock exchanges with the coins that you have. The main thing that the volume of daily trading of these coins was quite high.

If youre brave enough here in this technology possible to make more profits here and able to keep growing money day by day. It is necessary for that for the conditions about market.

Certainly not only for the brave but those who truly understand that this technology is till young and there are massive potentials here in this industry. Every sensible person has the opportunity to take a share of the pie and become highly successful should things turn out well. With the experience shown by Bitcoin, it became necessary to hold out for more percentage gains.

Yes but dumb money is dump dump dump.
They will forget about crypto and buy even more expensive in 5 year  ;D

Ofcourse, those who still manage to hold at times like this are those who are not only patient but also, true believers of crypto. They are more likely the veterans of cryptoindustry because it would take lots of experiences with market downfalls for them to have a trust as huge as this to the market. Many investors have already seclude from ICO projects due to lacj of interest and we better not do the same.

I don't think so. We tend to be brave to counteract our fear. Holding I think is more for the smart, wise, and probably, the faithful (I prefer this over being hopeful). We should not invest out of chances. We should have the knowledge and the mental strength to face and handle outcomes that may not be favourable.

You should not give preference only hold. It is sometimes necessary to calculate all variants of the development of events Sometimes you can put some of the coins on the trade and make money on it. You can sell a part of the coins at a loss and invest in a very promising project that will bring profit and cover losses from the sale.

HODL is not for brave people, but HODL is the right choice for people who want to succeed in the future, because in my opinion in the future crypto price will recover and begin to increase, so if we HOLD all the coins we have, then we will get a big profit and of course the time we spend to HOLD will not be in vain.

Well, I would not say that for the brave, it's just the most popular strategy to earn but you need to remember that this strategy works only for very good coins that develop their product

That is always the thing, there will always be a time for the bulls and a time for the bears, which as at now, it is a time for the bears, and one way or the other, we just have to understand basically that we only need to accept what the market brings at every certain point in time, but at the same time, find a way we can always take advantage of each trend that the market hits us with. As long as you are smart, you will definitely know what you are doing, and you will be brave enough to be able to learn from your mistakes and be patient enough to wait for the time to put that knowledge into good use.

Yes holding Is for the brave ... if you a'rnt brave enough to hold it.. you're always welcome to chicken out.. but I'll advice you too hold like myself.. we'll definitely be  rewarded

Well, at this point in the market, it will obviously take someone who is brave enough to still be holding any market at huge loss and one thing I have noticed with bravery is that it comes with knowledge and understanding of the market and the believe in what you are holding even though we can agree to some extent that a lot of people right now in that category may necessarily not have any more of a choice than to just simply keep holding.

The main reason why a lot of people panic easily to even attempt to sell at loss is simply because they do not even have an iota of belief in what they are holding for the long term which makes them an easy target and always end up with regrettable decision.

They are indeed for the brave and for those who can, but if you are average income earner, it will break your heart seeing you are losing money very fast, at this market trend even the bravest of us will feel fear because the slide is continuous, there seems to be no stop and people are still asking for the bottom price, the support is very weak.

hold is only for people who dare to take high risks, because crypto trading is at high risk, so people will be successful people who hold their coins

Its not an easy one to hold so much even when in this bearish season but only the brave can survive in this period cause its not an easy one but i am hopeful that soon enough our hopes will be rewarded

if you want for investing the money in long time i think keep hold your asset is best choices, remember the condition like now make many investor frustated, of course like me too  :'( :'(

Yeah, I think we'll have better times, too. Hodl's strategy definitely requires good patience and emotional stability. But unfortunately it can not always bring positive results.

To be able to hodl with ease you need one of 2 things, or both.

• A lot of money, with only a small amount invested, so that the price doesn't bother you
• Bought long ago, when Bitcoin was below 1000 dollars

I got that second point checked and really don't care until the price goes below $800.

That's right, it must be analyzed before deciding to hold or sell tokens and coins. The hard thing is to stick with the decisions that have been made, while reality sometimes does not match expectations. So, in my opinion, a strong person is a person who is able to survive and accept the reality gracefully from any result of a decision that has been made.

Yeah, again and again, it depends on our analysis, right?
Holding is not always being the best choice, it depends on what we are holding. We need to understand well, so we will not make a wrong decision.

To be brave means  to be ready to face and endure danger or pain, this has been the experience since 2018 for the market, It is unwise to sell at this stage, better to keep hope alive and expect a bull run which is sure to happen, most investors cannot define when this will takes place.

I would say: crypto is only for the brave. If you are shorting your coins in this market situation and buying them back on the dip can
be a smart movement if you make profit. Beside hodling there are other options for profiting on the market.

For you to be a good hodler, you must be the type with a very strong resilience and doggedness. How well can you endure to see the coins you are hodling drop by over -60% within 24hrs? This are possible situations that can happen.

I will say yes because it isn't that easy to hodl when you see that your coin begins to go down and could have been sold to cut off some losses. It is only the brave ones who will do such a thing.

Being a crypto hodler is not an easy task. But once you cross your mind to do it, then it is achievable.

I agree. IF you are not BRAVE enough, don't settle for a long term hodl, stop it before buying coins that was meant for long term hodl. You should settle for short term trade the first time you bought a coin. Also, I will not recommend it for people who doesn't have that much capital and relying on their capital for daily needs. It will just add more pressure on deciding when to sell or hodl.

The hold is a decision that can be considered right and can be a mistake. And that goes back to everyone. I personally do hold coins only for coins that have the potential to grow in the future. But if the coin does not have potential, I will sell it.

It is name understand. Not only the brave ones can do it. But those who understand the market situation.
Many new comer in cryptocurrency who don't know about cryptocurrency history, market history, they don't know. So when they see their coins starting to fall, that they have in mind is just a loss. And decided to sell coin. And for those who choose to hold a coin, that does not mean he is brave, but because he already understands the market situation.

It's not just an issue about the brave and not. But hold the moment certainly showed that there was still a sense of trust and wait until the increase occurs. many still see the potential crypto on a trip sometime in the future and this is a still more investor desired at this time.

HODL, i think it is not for the brave, it's for the hoping. You wish your holding portfolio will give you profit and you hold, your holding portfolio is already loss, you still hold and wish it will increase, so you don't need to take loss.

Selling when prices fall and hodl when the market collapses are people who dare to take risks. Both can lose or only those who sell will regret when the market recovers. So everyone has his own choice to take risks.

Whatever will be done is certainly with good consideration. If everyone holds a coin, of course, the market will not experience movement. And it must be supported by all parties to continue investing, without this the market is unable to raise prices. This is a good opportunity to invest and trade.

now when the market goes down hold is a good solution and you have to do it if you don't want big losses in you. because you have to know that now prices have dropped dramatically

I think that isn't meant to be brave to keep on hodling coins in this market condition. But i think it's about being believe and also being greedy i think.
Since the current market could towards to anything, it can be better or even worst, but i hope it will get better.

If Bitcoin or Altcoins were not sold earlier, there is no point in getting rid of them now when tokens value has decreased by 90 percent. It is better to be patient and hold, because there is more likelihood that the market will turn around than continue falling now. If look at the objective factors, the number of Bitcoin network transactions increases, despite the decline in the BTC price. The number of search queries in Google has also increased dramatically. It seems to me that the trend reversal is coming.

HODL till the end, or when Lambo will ride into your garage. I think if not all but plenty of our investments will rise in price and what more important will produce the true value for the world

I think it is HODL for the sensible at the present time, most of the altcoins have dropped so far that to sell them now will only yield a few dollars on some coins and it makes no difference one way or the other. Averaging down buy increasing bags is what I would call Brave :)

I think if the cryptocurrency moment in an exchange place like this then hold is a very appropriate choice because it can secure the estimated assets that you have and to avoid the losses that you will experience.

This is a bit funny  ;D, only brave doesn't enough but I suggest HODL must be smart and a bit rich. Once I just brave but not smart to HODL then I really needed money then it force me to sell low. If I have those three keys, maybe I still can make a profit.

You are right. It takes courage to invest in cryptocurrencies. I also hope that the market can be restored so that we can recover the lost money。

In reality, the majority of the people, who call themselves hodlers ( they guys who are not going to sell the crypto even when the bulls appear) are very rich guys. And they are smart, but not so brave.

HODL only for the strong of heart  ;D ;D

It is not only for braves but for those who have vision or trust in the project of the token or coin they are holding.  They are visionaries that knows in due time they will be rewarded for having patience and mostly they have extra fund for daily living.  Any of those first mentions without the last one, we cannot hodl. 

If it turns out that the loss is 90% or more, then this is not brave, but stupidity. However, the bravest are not very often clever ;D.
The fact that the number of transactions increases does not guarantee growth in the near future. Rather, it could be preparation for the next big dump.

HOLD is not only for those who are brave but this is also for those who believe in crypto and I'm one of people who believe in crypto (don't panic to sell) and will continue to hold all assets that I 've

lol  ;D ;D ;D

I think that until this month, keep not was no sense in this year. Now it all depends on how fast Bitcoin can start to grow, but I'm still confident that it will fall for now.

It must be understood that the crypto market remains rather volatile. Therefore, we must not miss the chance to use this opportunity for profitable investments and income generation. After all, now you can buy some reliable cryptocurrencies at a very low price, while the market is going through hard times.

I don't really think HODL for now is for the reason of bravery, the market situation will not allow any good thinking investor to sell off anything with the current market position so everyone will definitely be playing the HODL game for now and hope we have a better crypto price trend in 2019.

to be a crypto currency trader we must be prepared with all the risks, including hold, holding is not only for brave people in holding back.

You must be sure what you HODL so hold some shitcoins wouldnt be rewarded any so in my opinion at first we must decide what to Hodl then start do it but yep you need some brave for hodl as not everyone can see how his money from 1000s $ goes to 10 and keep them and wait ,all smart Holders wait for good reawrd.

passion and confidence in the potential of crypto that can provide good profit in the future makes me dare to HOLD crypto until the value is satisfying for me, there is no reason to sell at this time when prices fall and make me loss

until now, bitcoin is still at a cheaper and cheaper price than last week. in my opinion this will be a difficult year for bitcoin growth, and the hope for all investors is next year for the pump to hit the market

Last time events make it clear that cryptomarket is still very unstable. And it is necessary to learn more and more about many clues during trading on the stocks. Such knowledge is even more needed than an understanding of crypto technology.

units of can be only hold , I think only can be to store fundamental coin , which will evolve and of course worker product, Ah and steel nerves)

Holding in crypto is truly for the brave because imagine watching your portfolio going down to as low as 200%. It's only the brave who can accommodate this.

Holding is the best thing to do at this moment and yes it is for the brave as it is not easy doing that, someone will say it is easier said than done. It will be more easy to do if you have other source of income so that you will just put your mind away from money from cryptocurrency and hold.

HOLDING TOO MUCH IS NOT GOOD. Holding without the knowledge is not bravery but stupidity.
Never hold your belongings 100 percent, make a way on how you can make more tokens by using the other half of it while the 50 percent is on hold.

I agree with you. A lot of investors suffered who entered the crypt at the beginning of the year, the fall on most tokens was more than 10 times. At the moment, there is nothing left but to keep your tokens, selling at current prices does not make sense, it’s better to keep to the last!

And what if the main income is cryptocurrency? how should we hold then? now it's hard to just quit crypto and start working

The market always rewards those who are patient!) That's the axiom. But it will be very hard to remain patient and brave when the market will go far further down. I think we can see Bitcoin at $1500 or even less easily. And we have to be ready for this! But after the storm always comes  a calm and then...tothemoon!))

If you hold perspective coins then when restore the market you can get a good profit. Experienced investors have already seen this more than once.

Yes all of our hopes are going to be rewarded but people are different, some people are not good with waiting, it does not make them less brave, it just means that they do not have the patience for the long game which is fine. For those of us that can hodl, we should pray that the market works out the way we want so we can all make money from it

people who dare to do speculation and hodl are people who dare to take big risks, and those who are brave are worthy of huge profit.

It turns out I and my friends are brave) Yes, and it turns out we are in such big disadvantages that I don’t even want to look at the balances. It remains only to wait for overall growth.

Sure, holdl is for the bravest among us but we must also salute the courage of many who have invested in this industry of uncertainty even if they do not have the courage to hold when everything is falling apart and the center could not hold again. And for we who are holding, very soon the harvest time will come.

Indeed. Holding is not for brave  but for those who is experienced and knowledgeable about the market. You can't just hold a coin you want, you can't just buy coin you see. Hold trusted coins, fluctuative and volatile coin surely there will be hanging tip point on the price where you can get your profit. As for my strategy, whenever i hold a coin i monitor it 2-4 days not too late not too early.

Indeed those who takes risk use to win at the end we should have those guts and we should have patience too. Buying in bad days gives profit and this kind of act is risk then I am happily agree to tale this risk and adopt more coin as I know one day I am going to cash out my money as double that I invest today.

Not only for the brave but for the patient and wise.
It takes good wisdom to stand to Hodl because there is almost no way one will sell out at this moment that it will pay, it may only meet ones little need so urgently but one may some much regret it very soon.that's why one should just carry ones face off the token acquired and source for another means pending the time.

HODL is not only for the brave but also for the one who would be ready to absorb unexpected loss to the tune of the value of the invested fund. Wisdom is profitable to direct.

I hold the same opinion. Only strong and psychologically stable people will be able to survive the period of falling prices in the crypto market and will be able to earn good money in the future.

You will be rewarded or not still depend on which coins that you are holding. If you hold the not good coins, the more hold long the more losses. So, let's choice top rank coins to hold

Currently, the market is completely unpredictable and HODL is the most right option. Furthermore, prices are so funny now, you need to buy and hold. Carefully.  :) Buy. And hold. ;)

I Agree with you, we waited a whole year and we didn’t see anything except a bear, and just to take and give up is not in my priorities, we will wait and sell only when a bull comes to this market, I know we have not much left, but we should keep, as they say in my country, patience and work will grind everything.

hold only for fools. they are too afraid to sell and in the end he is the one who loses the most. many people suggest holding, they don't explain that...

Yes, the term hold is for a brave person only who are willing to take the risky in holding their money in the crypto world even the price is still not good and falling but the word "HOLD" will bring a good future FOR US IF WE CAN KNOWS WHEN WE NEED to hold or what we need to hold in one specific time.

It is not just hope, markets have become like this so many times before, but we were too blind to see when btc hit $20k. Market will recover, also it will moon like there is no tomorrow :D but we need to remember, when we see a new ath, we should move to tusd/usdt etc. to wait for another cycle.

There are so many brave people that are poor now, in cryptocurrency brave with out knowledge will be left nothing on there savings.
Cryptocurrency and BTC is for smart people who knows what to do and when to left the market and buy back at the right time or price.
Brain and knowledge is the main weapon to succeed the fight in this community,

I think that courage is certainly needed here, but most of all, patience is probably needed here, which unfortunately today is far from being available to all people, so now there is a problem that today can only worsen the situation. If you sell everything now.

that's true because crypto values don't always increase even the risk of decline is very high because of that, we must always follow the current prices and think about what steps we should take, even though we are a HODLER but we also have to keep abreast of market prices a trader so that we can continue to benefit from every increase that occurs

you need more plans for invest, not just you brave, if you just following what your friends say maybe you will lose your money, and this time i think is very risk for invest, better you wait a saveral times

That's very true...holding unto your coins even as it turns out to be shit because of the reduction of the crypto market is something that only brave cryptopreneurs can do because many noobs in crypto would sell their coins when such things happen. One thing that i have learnt from the inventor of Litecoin is that if you cannot sustain a 90% dip of bitcoin then you should not be involved in crypto investments.

as returns with drawing showing of signals to work on submission with new position on market, the work on trading begins with extent on managing daily exchange on appealing of the running option on table with the position,
as the use to deliver spares of difference with chance on collecting returns of nominal on profit with the end of terms of investment project plan.

Hodl only for the brave is a little over-dramatic in my opinion.

1. People who understand the world's monetary history of the last 700 years are long term holders and supporters of crypto (gold & silver too.)

2. Young people hungry for a little freedom from the oppressive fiat world created by the older generations in a sort of class warfare are owners and holders of crypto.

3. Newer small and medium sized businesses are carving out niches and embracing electronic money in these early stages of the siesmic shift from fiat to crypto.

4. Governments and corporations are talking out of both sides of their mouths lately.  On the one hand, they have full-time operations with armies of trolls to crush sentiment in the crypto markets, while behind the scenes they are employing the best programmers money can buy and building out their own crypto infrastructures.

Although the crypto markets have shrunk considerably since Jan 2018, with a market cap of 121 billion dollars and less than 2% of people on the planet owning cryptos, once the masses start discovering cryptos and begin moving their dying dollars into it, the game will change big time as the money men lose control of the eventual tsunami of wealth flowing out of fiat and into crypto.

One thing is for darn sure though.  If you are not holding crypto both now and well into the future, you are guaranteed to miss out on a portion of the greatest wealth transfer in the known history of the world.  The dollar is currently held up by faith alone - fundamentals do not matter in the end game stage.  Mark my words.  When the faith in the dollar begins to erode fast, there won't be enough time to move them around at will to position yourself well for crypto.  The time to do this is now.

Hodling fits well for lazy or very busy people who doesnt want to spend their time trading or just dont have enough time for it. Anyway, sooner or later they will make profits:)

If we analyze the cryptocurrency market today in order to minimize all of our risks, the only correct strategy is long-term storage of our coins. In addition, it would be right to revise the content of your portfolio in order to have full-fledged promising projects in the future.

only people who are strong and who have patience are still HODL until now. but hold isn't entirely good, there are times when we have to sell, even though it's difficult. Hold too long is also not good.

I think about that. Hodl is now our fact. Down market is good for hodl any top coin. Many friends very disappointed for down crypto market. But we know hodl is brave now. Without hold we can't think good.

Without bold and stupid, others simply won't benefit from the investment. For someone to make a profit in crypto, you need someone else to lose money.

Yes, hope will hundred percent rewarded and no body can stop to it at any cost. Many positive movement and news in the crypto market are indicating that keep patience for some more time and every body will be rewarded by the big profit and doubt will destroyed at that time.

Probably. Maybe it will. It is possible that our coins that we hold will give a good plus. Well, I can't say that hold is bad. After all, if we consider cryptocurrency as a long-term investment, we should not pay attention to graphics.

brave in making decisions is necessary, but don't just have courage. At least observe the development of coins that you have and do an analysis to then be made to make a decision whether holding it is the best or better to sell it.

This is not necessarily the best method. In many cases, this way will make you lose more. In fact, the cryptocurrency market should be contingent, and the long-term red color of the cryptocurrency market is not suitable for HODL.

Personally, I am sure that the cryptocurrency market in the future will delight us with a large increase in prices. I wish everyone patience, as it may take 2-3 years to restore the market. I buy interesting coins for me on the price drop in order to average prices in the portfolio.

Yes we will be rewarded but it is not like that we are brave. we just hold our funds as we have seen the past trends also we are sure about the future of crypto. so that is why we hold our coins otherwise it is not that we are holding because we are brave :)

Not all crypto is worth HODL. I want to know which cryptocurrency you have chosen? I also want to find trustworthy crypto for HODL.

It is also for those who do not know or do not know how to trade, or simply do not want. Hold is quite a reasonable strategy for increasing your capital over the long term.

With the current market trend, it is now for the brave and for those invested what they can afford to lose, it's hard to be a hodlers now because every day you are losing your initial investment you might end up losing 90% of your investment if this will continue.

we only hold our funds because we have seen past trends as well we are confident about the crypto future. so that's why we hold our coins otherwise we don't hold because we are brave.

Yes you are right. Only brave people can dare do something so called challenging. And for my part, thinking my long wait will be rewarded, I have been holding some my coins for the past two and a half years. In fact, I have suffered loss. But I have not lost my hope. And my holding will be paid off.

No, this solution isn't only for brave guys, because you can be a hodler and at the same time active trader. It is about your money management!

hodl only for clever. any clever man understand that any bisness and sturtup need time. only patiens will make us rich.

continue to believe that what you are planning will succeed, which surely everyone has their own standard of courage.

Im a brave guy but im not a hodler and im pretty sure that people that are scared will opt to choose hodling over selling because not all times the crypto market is booming .

When you sell it does not mean that you are a coward because cryptos is really meant for spending  .   a real coward is that he didnt know how to take risk  because he is too scared about loosing  . 

HODL for clever and patient, who make his work well but think about future and hasn't time to follow every bitcoin price movements.

Yes of course We will be rewarded in the future comes if it started to increase again their value in the market just like before but still it depends to the currency we are holding. If we hold a currency we should know how useful it is and if it has a great potential to grow to get a better earnings in the market to make sure it will increase.

I think, Im very brave in this understanding, because I still have a deep HODL!
But whoever does not risk he does not drink Champagne!

In a sense, you are right, but more precisely it will sound like a HODL for smart and brave. The fact is that HODL crypto would be active, you need to know exactly what you are earning, and for this one courage is not enough, you also need to know information on the basis of which you will definitely be in the black, and not vice versa. But courage is just as necessary, since all the same, the matter is connected with risks and here there can only be brave ones. In any case, you need to take into account all the factors and then you will succeed.

HODL -  for the lazy. If you gradually trade and respect the risk of management and always put stop Loss, you will always be in greater profit than the one who is just waiting for a big growth.

Hold coins is indeed one of the best choices when market prices slowly begin to fall. And they are sure if the price of coins will definitely rise again. But holding coins is also sometimes a problem because the price of coins does not rise. Better before holding a coin, you must analyze the coin.

I you want some play safe game going on, learn a bit about trading. In this platform, you are not just hodling, but also manipulating your coins to your hands in order to make sure of your profits.

Hold is for the people who doesn't have faint in their heart. You only hold because you believe in the tokens or coins and the developer behind the project. You also hold because it's not the right time to sell and you are waiting for the projects to deliver its roadmap. And with the current market condition i don't think it's a good idea to sell your digital assets.

HODL is a good strategy, but not for all coins it may fit. You can only use it for reliable coins such as bitcoin or Ethereum. But some coins can become worthless over time.

Sometimes it is worthwhile to step back from your principles and sell your coins. Especially if you see that in the future they will greatly fall in price and you can buy them much cheaper.

This is really not about bravery, but it has to do with understanding the what crypto is all about. If you understand crypto and have read, u will know that selling at this time will only end you at a loss so the only option is to hold, but most newbies don't understand, they sell out of fear.

Hold your coins if you have confidence in the potential of the coins you have. Move those who feel hesitant to not be able to survive in the critical condition of crypto today. Your assets deserve development by saving them through being moved to better coins. Decisions must be taken boldly and at a fairly fast time. There is a possibility of an increase in the value of the coin.

I think that now is the time to invest in cryptocurrencies in the long term. Everyone is saying that it was necessary to keep your coins in the long run, but it was wrong. Now, the market will grow. I do not rule out the possibility that it may fall even more in early January, but still in 2019 there will be a strong growth.

yes all of that goes back to each of us if our self-confidence is high about that, of course in the future will benefit us, so if you decide to hold it doesn't matter.

Hope is all that remains of those who hold their coins since the beginning of this year ... I would say that this is more an indicator of faith in the future of cryptocurrency than just a bravery . Only those who truly believe in crypto can hold their digital assets as long as it will be needed to become rich

HODL is only for brave and for those who do not want or know how to trade. On the declining
market holding is not the smartest and most profitable strategy.

If you invest in crypto then you are already brave because you know at the first place that price change fast . For me calling them "brave" for those who keep hodl is not appropriate and the best word for them is that they are "patience" .  ;)

Patience is the key to success in cryptoworld. There is only simple rule: never sell your coins cheaper then you bought them. In that case hopes will be rewarded sooner or later

for now holding the coins we have is the right thing for me to avoid big losses, because in my opinion at this time the price of coins has reached its lowest price and I'm sure after this the price of coins will increase again, but you should keep updated news about coins

It is good to hold, in fact, it brings a lot of profits, but I will not hold a shitcoin and expect a rise in price. Anyway, it happens sometimes, but not always, except in cases where the team is seriously working to pump the coin.
Then I am personally holding some coins that are good and I believe they will rise.

Yes,Hold only those that has potential. I hold mostly top 10 coins, though they are affected mostly by bitcoins lower  price but its okay. I think I am holding already for more than a year now, since I started accumulating last year. Some lses already almost - 80% of its value. sad  :(

Just few investor really brave for keep holding their asset, although price have dump they keep hold until price growing back to higher, you can start for trying holding your asset and never panic for selling it.

Watching that hodl? Altcoins who have not poured themselves? or coins of projects that did not justify themselves?
Everywhere should be approached with the mind.
By the end of the year, I transferred everything from 5 coins in my briefcase to 5 coins. Of these, 60% is Bitcoin and eth.

I mean if you are here for small cash, you do not need to hold, but if you believe in crypto currencies it does not matter for how long you are holding you coins. I am holding till the mass adoption and then comes the next decision to buy more or to sell a part.

It makes me laugh as many thinks HODL is easy ,its very sweet to say it out but not easy to HODL ,it takes time and patience and some times you will have to HODL longer than you expected so HODL is not easy ,its not for people looking for fast profits

Just as the Cryptocurrency market is not meant for the faint hearted likewise holding is not meant for people who are not strong in mind.
To be a good holder here, you need another level of bravery , if not you will end up having high blood pressure over market conditions.

HODL must be smart, not just based on some beliefs of the Moon cult)
You must learn how to be an investor, there are some rules here, and crypto won't make you rich unless you are constantly learning and watching the situation carefully.

Yes for those who are not familiar to trading as trading needs proper skills and information in holding you only will have to  hold after purchasing. Price of any coin takes time to increase the value and the price. I think we should have these guts to see price falling and even then keep holding and not to think about selling at low.

I'm absolutely disagree about this, I'm not stupid and I can't fool myself like everybody, this was big mistake and we shouldn't do hodl in 2018 but we didn't understand this since beginning of the year.

Yes, if we believe in Cryptocurrency is a good future, I think there is no problem to hold Coin until the next few years, because Bitcoin from 2012 to today, prices always go up and keep rising, so for people who are sure about BItcoin , it doesn't matter if you hold Bitcoin.

I agree. Holding our altcoins in this bear market and seeing everyday that our investment goes down and down and waiting for the price to rise up again for profits is really a brave thing to do. Almost everyone here will say that holding now is stupid but let me say it again: volatility is quite normal on the crypto-world. It is not always that the price will go up, it can go down too at any time. So despite of being also scared at the prices being so low, why not buy the promising altcoins that will surely give you profit at the future.

Indeed, the hold decision is a difficult choice, but I think if our risk is getting bigger, the profits that will be obtained are also no less great. what we need to do is determine the best coin decision for us to hold.

Well, now it's too late to make a decision to sell. It now remains only to hold. don't think about selling now if you are not a professional trader

I am hoping for better future for crypto and to be honest for selected crypto coins. Its HODL for all in such coins. some ICOs are just scam. Be careful with them.

Holding is a foolish decision if you just follow the trend. but it's good if you have a future plan and strong reasons. my advice is not to hold too much, try leaving half of your assets, so you can keep watch.  :)

holding is truely for brave and for sure holders will get rich someday, because we all knoen that cryptocurrency have a great potential in the future, im peacefuly holding because i know that it will recover and still recover after its dump. Just keep trusting and holding your assets.

Hodl is a best terms that is meant to be used during the bull season hodling does not pay during the bearish season it's a bad idea,  I'm sure majority will have learned from what the market had done to them,  either you are brave or not if you hodl the wrong coin during bear market you are doing yourself

yep, HODL is for strong hands, but you should be wise picking altcoins that you want to HODL for long term so you will not regret at the end.

I think holding is someone who has hope and confidence in the future. The market is not over and it is impossible to die in the near term, the market can still grow and become an opportunity to profit.

That's how I'm going to hold it. I believe that the usual coin will have access to very high prices one day. Maybe 1 year after this date maybe 5 years I keep patiently waiting.

We have only 2 possibilities that could happen with crypto,  either to dried up or grow higher.  This 2 things will test us how we trusted into this and it surely true believers will survive by then.  We aren't all entitled for this as we seek fulfilment in our life,  crypto isn't for all of us as I know.

very true what you say in your opinion because in my opinion as an investor who has confidence and patience will have hope for the future and in situations and circumstances like this investors must be smart in utilizing every opportunity that will be obtained in investing

we have seen the growth of bitcoin from previous years, until now the price movement of bitcoin has been able to provide a green light for everyone to be able to feel the benefits of investing in it, even though this year the bitcoin price movement has decreased more often. but if we can hold it in the long run, of course, bitcoin can provide greater profits in the future

This has been re-echo several times on this forum, now is the best time to keep HOLDING, because the bull run will commence after now, It will be a great disaster to give up at this critical time when we are close to the bull run, 2018 was mainly for correction , hopefully 2019 will be the moment we are waiting for.

The brave guys are ready to hold crypto for years to gain more ROi.
This hold isn't for anyone, but only for those who have enough patience!

HODL can have a lot of meaning to a person depending on his/her perspective. HODL might mean a stupid thing to some person as this is a risky move to play especially in this cryptocurrency space. Others might think that HOLD is a smart move because of how the price of Bitcoin moves from pennies to thousands.

I am sure that it will be so, the main thing is to watch carefully and not fall into hysterics, endurance and the stoicity of the bravest will be rewarded! but of course one faith is not enough :D ;)

HODLing is certainly for the brave, you are taking all the risk up upon to you, you'll have to take the chances whether it'll slip up upon your hands or you'll be able to HODL successfully until you have found the perfect price that is possible on your radar. And HODLing is not simple, you'll have to be a good observant since the price can go up or down at any kind of moment.

In my case, HODL is a forced tactic, because I do not have enough knowledge in the crypto market. The total dollar value of my crypto coins has fallen many times in recent times. I believe that the cryptocurrency will not die, it has a great prospect, and I can only wait with patience for the bull market.

It is these positive opinions about HOLD that I always support, because this is a real way out of the current situation on the market. On the whole, this is a universal solution. Therefore, I also think that this decision will bring money in the end.

Earning money by hodl season was last year, right now it's just losing money. If you want to make money less than 2 years you should find a new way.

I think that for the year only those people remained on the cryptocurrency market who can rightly be called "Braveheart". It is very difficult to keep coins and see how they are getting cheaper every day, not every person can HODL it.

i have a lot of coins and it is pain for me seeing crypto going to the hell. Some of coins lost 95% of value and it is nothing! I don't know what to do next!

Yes!
Of course, for some people who lose too much money, they will feel anxious. If ever bought ETH prices> $ 500 ... then, of course, the hold is the better choice for the moment.

it's true, now I see that even the most stable holders have left a minimum of coins in their wallets. the most reliable
and projects, with a good team and good capital, seem so reliable - and every day some such coin turns out to be a scam

It is indeed for the 'brave' ones. Many people have sold their holdings due to the continuous negative market behavior. The market value of cryptos are no longer increasing at this moment which worries them the most and triggers their desire to be 'safe' through selling early. But to think that there are many investors who are still holding and believing, I think it would make sense to do the same thing because huge reward would be earned once started from being patient.

There are people who do not want to believe in hodling any longer, because of their experiences and encounters in the crypto space. My believe is that, it requires some forms of research and which can make them to take the bold step. This time to me, is even a good time to invest and hodl.

I totally agree with you. I have a few coins in my wallet, which I will keep for a long time, since it takes several years for these companies to develop, I think that all coins should be kept for at least a year.

I think that 2019 will bring the long-awaited growth, but not immediately. I think that the peak of the cryptocurrency market will have at the end of summer early autumn. In any case, strong growth is expected in 2019, so you should think about investing in cryptocurrencies.

I hope so. Some of what we have done is at least not in vain. We must be patient and hold on. Prices will be higher and we will all get wages from our efforts. I can only think positively and hope that everything goes forward so we rise from despair and all will pay off when we see the market is green.

Some of us may be forced to do so in order to avoid loses but if they are too desperate to make money then let them have it. It is their will to choose what they want their crypto, but for us HODLers, we should keep on holding till the day of the bull market comes.

Accumulating as many tokens as we could during this dip is essential.

I really hope so) The main thing is to have good coins in the investment portfolio, otherwise the long-awaited increase in prices will not please you, because your investments will not grow in price)

I would like to believe that everything is exactly so that the expectation in the end is not for fools) to Leave with a huge minus from the crypto currency does not make sense, we can only wait and believe

The cryptocurrency market loves the patient. Here it is necessary to be able to be patient. If you are impatient, you can lose a lot. In the long run if you are patient you can get good opportunities.

Many were leaving crypto cause it never give them.of what they wanted. It never please them when they started crypto investment and even losing their money.  Crypto isn't the place for everyone and yes only brave and have strong faith towards crypto will only survive.

You don't need to be brave to hold your coins, because there are a lot of people that simply don't know about money management and they don't know how to trade and buy ICO

HODL is for the brave - or for the desperate. Once your asset has lost 99% of its value your only desperate choice is to HODL. Too late for being brave. You are brave when you HODL an asset which has lost up to 50%.

Long-term retention of cryptocurrency, not only for the brave, but for the stupid. By the example of this year, we can be sure that a long-term retention of cryptocurrency will not always be profitable. Therefore, along with a long retention, it is still necessary to periodically sell and buy a cryptocurrency in the period of its large rises or falls in price.
You should not expect too high prices, Bitcoin holders are also now able.

I think Hold is our form not to sell coins because we want big profits. Indeed, Hold is a brave thing because not all coins can grow in the future. And this has happened so much that future coins are declining and cannot grow.

it all depend on what cryptocurrency are you holding on. it was not stupid to hold on to the one of your trust project. Some of coin might need several years to success or some might need to recover like bitcoin that has fall badly. In long term we only trust only at a solid project not all will be succeed but it more better waiting for it to spike rather then playing buy and sell. in the end losing.

Well, If we are compacted with enough knowledge about technical analysis and fundamental analysis, there's nothing we can fear about in HODLing our desire coins. But, relying only on the news and price doesn't really help.

I don't see the point in investing in well-known coins now. It is best to make an investment portfolio of cheap coins.

Guys, could you tell me what any exchange with large choice rare and cheap coins!

I can recommend an excellent exchange, which every day add new coins, which are not present on other exchanges. Here is a referral link https://bitebtc.com/?affid=42324

A new way is to create efficient projects and collect investors' money on them? Do you want that? I think that today this is probably not the best thing that you can imagine today.

In my opinion, the exchange bitebtc.com not better and not worse other.

When market conditions are falling using a good strategy, of course holding coins for a long time until the market returns to soar. But that does not rule out the possibility that people holding coins also invest in some Altcoin. because then the profits will be greater.

I am sure that those who invest in the long term in cryptocurrency are the ones who will make good money on this

bitebtc.com perfect for bountyhunters.

This is a fairly young and new exchange. What kind of feedback from it? What are the advantages of this exchange?

Where such confidence? On the contrary, it becomes clear to me that cryptocurrency is just a hoax, which many representatives of the Federal Reserve System are doing today, if you allow it today, this is probably one of the most serious factors of deceiving humanity.

I'm on the practical side of things and my goal is to preserve capital and earnings.
Glad I sold last Q1 and Q2 of 2018. I took around 20% loss when I decided.
I'm happy I did. It would have been 90% loss this time.

Protect the value of what you have. Now I can buy back more than 3x of what I sold.  ;D
It's just hard to pull the trigger to sell when you know that you are selling with some loss but I'm glad I did it.

Not only for the brave but also the wise. Some thinks that cryptocurrency will soon be gone but if you really know what crypto and blockchain is all about then you should know that it's the future. 2018 was really bad regarding crypto market but i hope that this year will become a great year and will make crypto not undervalued again.

Yes, hope is the last goddess...

In the crypto market, bravery is not the most important. Wisdom and experience are more important. In more cases, bravery will only make us make some stupid judgments and will lose our money. Sometimes we don't need too much bravery, we need a little bit wise.

we hope, we hope...

Hodl is not correct strategy and if you are doing this, you are not brave it is irrelevant. This is not a game so you must think everytime and if you need to sell, sell it don't hodl for any reason. With this way you can reduce your lose.

it can be said that indeed, because holding in the long term is indeed very risky especially if it is a coin that does not have a large volume of transactions.
but sometimes conditions can also make us willing to become holders

Hodling is a very simple strategy from one side, from another side you have to be sure you can resist such big dumps as we got last year.

Somewhere yes, hodling is for brave because though it is not such a big task, needing great efforts and strategies but you should be brave enough to resist the pain if you loose.

What is the price for listing tokens on this exchange? Is it expensive?

If you bought crypto-currencies not on credit funds and now your financial situation is normal, then it is not difficult to wait, under other circumstances you are probably no longer in the crypto-currency

This was always my thought before this long bear market. This is a different time, new movements and I'm beginning to think different, giving the strategy view of HODLing a different thought. Yes, it seems to me that HODL is complete scam in this kind of market, it doesn't just work.

if you still believe in crypto of course to hold crypto you in the long run you will dare to do it and hopefully you are lucky.

yes i think so you need to be strong to hodl in those taught economic conditions and in those hard days wish good luck for everyone and happy new investment year :)

Holding an investment assets for a long period of time is not only meant for the brave investors, the investors would also need to have some extra funds in his bank account in order to sustain his living expenses, so I guess investors who really wanted to invest their money into any investment products should truly plan it well beforehand.

Holding isn't just for the brave person but to those who are looking positivity on the future.
Though holding isn't the way of not losing with the current situation but to make may of having more gains. It is already a practice since before but somehow only few people can manage on it.

You are brave - that's great. However, in the crypto market earn smart people and not brave ones. Hold need with the mind. It is most important.

Yes it is, only the braves will not sell when they see their coins losing its value, and only the brave will keep on buying when the market is dipping and only them will be rewarded when there is a big turn around in the market, but with the current market trend it's hard to be a brave one.

hold not only for the brave only. but for those who have a sense of patience to survive an excess of crypto conditions which will result in a long time. In addition, hold also for people who have big capital on crypto as well. because that will also give you great profit and so worth the time to hold and wait.

by choosing Hold is a safe way in the bear market, because if we release we will lose a lot so many people still hold coins.

people who are patient in getting good results do not mean greed for good results. brave or not dare to determine the Hold strategy is for someone who wants to be safer.

those who survive in the bounty campaign are also just for the brave. In addition to falling markets and many who panic sell, some people also give up from the bounty because of the long wait. the brave ones will get profits in the future.

You're afraid, don't be here, just go away from the world of Bitcoin. The main capital of joining Bitcoin is confidence, courage, patience, smart and money. those who are intelligent will always take advantage of the opportunity well and are always strong in maintaining confidence.

Despite the fact that for someone HODL strategy can look funny, I am sure that the true followers of this type of strategy will always remain in profit, or at least they can earn much more than those who try to trade their coins in the hope that they can increase their capital. Here is my opinion on this.

Maybe anything. Especially if today many projects start really serious growth. Today, the market is still falling and we still see negative news. But I think that sooner or later we will all be able to feel growth.

And our hopes currently rewarded! We saw this morning that Ethereum come back for 2 row in caoinmarcetcap. But brave - is not only one quality of holders. Also some holders is a greedy and they just scared to sell when have any losts.

thank you very much for your help, it's true on bitebtc.com you can sell a lot of cheap tokens, which are in my account for a long time.

Although I agree with HODL crypto, I don't think that all crypto should choose HODL, because I don't think most crypto has any preservation value and potential.

I would agree with this.

IMHO, if there's a potential use case that would emerge with a certain coin, thus increasing it's price, HODLing is just fine.
On the other hand, not many seem to have such (potential) use cases, so perhaps they are much better for daytrading (or weektrading xD).

Been hodling few coins for almost 2 years and I know some people have been hodling for much longer.

The key is to invest amounts that you can almost immediately forget about. Like, for example, going out. You go, buy several drinks, forget about that money and move on.
If you can do that, it's sooooo easy to HODL.

hold seems easy for people who have never done it, even though in reality it is a very difficult thing to do. especially if you are a person who often panics with price fluctuations in the market.

Which is precisely why I believe that investing forgettable amounts, to name them that, is the key to easy HODL.

And what is perfect that exchange for bountyhunters? Explain, please. In my opinion, the most ordinary exchange.  Although BiteBTC in Top-40 exchanges worldwide.

I think it's not like that. hold is a strategy to reduce the amount of loss. so what is needed is not only courage but also intelligence. so hold is a decision. never hold if you only have brave.

Need hold but wisely. If you just do nothing, all the time you are only losing profits, and this time wasted. Time is our most valuable resource, so you need to spend it wisely. While many "brave" (but I would call them scared) just hold, I trade and constantly make money on it. So spend your time learning so that you can trade and earn despite the market situation.
I would like to add that I'm not against those people who just bought cryptocurrency for a long-term investment and they don't care what the price of their assets over the next few years. These people have bet that their assets will grow in value in a few years and they deliberately don't want to waste their time and efforts on learning to trade.
Another thing is when people consider themselves traders, but at the same time when the market has ceased to be bullish, they were frightened and decided to hold. To such people, I can say that every fool can make money on the bullish market and real traders make money in any market.

Well, Crypto is only for the Brave. Lighthearted people are not supposed to be here. They might get themselves in some serious depression in this field because of the tension and anxiety it can create.

This is only the beginning of this carnival, because in the future there will be an opportunity to feel rich again, because the market today seems dead to you, but in fact it is only beginning to revive.

Perhaps you are right, and the strategy of "hold" may be a reward in the future, but I believe that everything depends on the specific coin, and you should always monitor the position of your coins and their price, because some projects / coins may cease to exist, and you can be left with nothing ...

No it will not, We all were manipulated by Whales. Did you get something beside loses from that ''Hodl'' so far?
Answer is obvious, people like to think that it will be better soon.

Well, the whole point of deciding to hodl is that ones believes in what he invested in. Thinking something is a good investment, after research ofc, but in long term (1 or 30 years, no matter, not the point), it is only natural to hodl.

Now, hodling for some other reason? Depends on the reason, but without believing the investment, what kind of an investor are you then? O_o

Then I am one of the braves. I have been holding my crypto since last year hoping that there will be another bullish market and I could sell off my investment. But that did not happen. If I have known, I would rather have a weak hand but got great earnings during the time the market was bullish. But no choice now but to hodl my assets than lose some more by selling now.

It is very difficult to make HODL especially when you run out of money for life, and the market is still at the bottom (

You are probably correct as of now because of the current status of the market. But we need to consider that they are also the wiser ones who hodl their tokens or coins because they wanted a bigger profit when the market started to rise. Let just see what is the next stage. Hold on to your horses until the next bullrun.

HODL - is one of the safest and most effective strategies for almost any investor who does not know how to trade professionally. However, if you have good trading skills, you can combine both of these strategies — trading and HODL, and then you may be able to achieve results that are much more serious than if you only used HODL.

  Yup it takes a big heart to hold even when you know that there are only  few percent chances to get profit. There is huge profit but keeping it till long is condition for  it. So if you want to earn profit just hold your coin with patience for long term the longer you will hold the wider your money will grow.

It seems to me that each user of cryptocurrency, before thinking about early storage of their assets, must first put forward to itself certain requirements so that such activity does not bring any damage. First of all, I say this for users of cryptocurrency, whose cryptocurrency market is the only source of income.

Well, what choice is there really?
Especially if you jumped in last Jan. you are looking at an over 80% loss in value to your portfolio.
At this point, selling things off will only bring pennies so might as well hodl.

BUT!
There are things you can do in addition hodling to help out.
If you have a full time job, you start putting aside money each month to buy more.
Prices are so crazy low right now and look like it will stay that way for 2019.
With volatility also comes the opportunity for short term gains.
Buy low, sell high, works like a charm. stick to preset percentages and you should come out on top.

It is thanks to my courage that I still keep all my coins and have not sold any of them yet. I am glad that I am not alone and there are still people who keep their coins.

I think that long-term investments can still bring you profits, but not as much as trading. It is now possible to invest in the long term, as the market should grow strongly this year.

I want to disagree
I do believe in hodl for the wise

Why ? Because only the wise can be brave
Wisdom in buying the right token
Wisdom in selling at the right time

Definitely because anyone who actually invested part of his or her earnings into crypto and watch it depreciate without thinking of cashing out is really brave.

There is great reward for hodler since the crypto market have been bearish for so long . But holding these coins can be more dangerous especially due to the vulnerability of crypto asset and also the decentralized nature of theses asset that don't even have insurance policy where they are stored. My decision is to keep trading and convert my crypto asset profit generated  during trading to Fiat currency for safer storage of my investment only those who are braved can trade and not hodlers.

Yes, but it works if you didn't buy the top, of course i am not talking about BTC. But i am brave and will hold my crypto till it will moon or go to zero)

Holding these days became the escape, not a strategy. Sometimes it is not so good to hold, but if you don't have any other choice then it's up to you

Yeah for sure there have been some panics here and there and i think it will only take the brave to continually hold onto his or her coins. With this braveness and patience i think for sure their reward might come. After all patience is golden.

Because in the beginning you believe that prices are about to begin to return to their places, and then just not profitable to sell and can only wait, but the wait is stretched for a long time

The decision to hold is a difficult decision. indeed we really need courage to decide to hold / not. most people when they have chosen to hold, the price drops even more :'(. especially if in the current market conditions. :-[
if I better choose safe by choosing sell.

Now the situation on the market is very friendly to HOLD. I think beginners can not worry and invest in altcoins for a long time. Those who understand trading can try short-term trading.

Well yes, for those who fully understand how the market behaves and can tail the movements they will be able to gained out from this market condition, shorting it out and find some advantages to set your buy orders then your sell orders can be profitable still for people who knows how to work around the exchange.

It all depends who you are! If you are a hunter for a reward - then you only hold, if you are an investor, then you, too, only hold, but if you are a trader, then you need to fix the loss and trade further.

Especially if you could resist against the background of growing panic among investors who actively sell all their coins, usually at such moments even some strong investors give up

I think that at the moment you can start to gradually invest in cryptocurrencies in the long term. This year should bring a good profit.

Of course those who are good investors they will hold as they are very brave and those who want to trail move accordingly. But I think holding us good for all of us because it’s the nature of crypto currency that it’s volatile and it use to change after certain time so at least till then everyone should hold.

Well, I think to withstand long-term prospects need nerves of steel, especially when your Deposit subsides -60 80 %, I think long-term investment will pay off only over time, the main thing is to get out of the coin

Not all hodlers are real, because some of them are just holding because they incur so much loss and they can’t afford to sold it at a loss. Hold is for everyone, but it will still depend on your strategies and how you see the market. The choice is really in your hands, make a good strategy now for your long term goal.

You won't be able to endure seeing your money drop by 60-70%, your mind will be chaotic and out of control, I guarantee. Long-term investment is only for those who do not have time in this market and cannot follow this market on a regular basis

Courage is needed for those who bought without using free money or did not work within their means, so it will not be easy, but those who did not invest more than they could, are able to wait as long as necessary

Hold is a safe way to avoid losses, but with Resistant there will certainly be a risk, if you wait a long time but the price will be lower we must be able to accept the risk.
with Hold, you can also avoid losses if you have long waited for the increase and finally the price can rise high again and your patience will be appreciated and rewarded with beauty.

be smart holder , dont just hold your tokens / coins without doing anything.if we concious actually we could doing daily trade on our token.buy and sell oftenly to make our coins amount add.

You could say its a bravery or just bold, cause we don't really know what will happen in the future. its just that they had a hope that the future all the coin will increase and they get the reward for their patient, another reason would be because they don't wanted to loose because they sell their coins/tokens when the price is dropping like what happen at the current state.

hold not only for those who dare. but this more precisely on those who have a good strategy to be able to produce on crypto. hold not just hold, but at least should know about coins that will be detained and knows when to take off in the hold so as not to get in on the brink.

Definitely our hopes will be rewarded. Only the strong in heart, not mind can win the race of hold. It's not easy hough, because at this hard time, I can't even advise anyone to hold. It's a decision one makes voluntarily.

This is definitely better than selling coins at a loss, you need to wait for the growth of coin prices

This method is too extreme. In fact, it doesn't make sense to hold a coin when the cryptocurrency continues to drop. Unless you are buying bitcoin. Other altcoins I recommend selling immediately. Investment is very dangerous.

I think, that now in crypto only the most bold and patient. And all our efforts will be rewarded during the new growth. I think we will have to wait a little longer, everything will start closer to the second half of 2019. This is my opinion

I don't think so, Holding just spreads to shy people who are scared and don't know how to analyze the chart. Holding people only have hope that in the future the market will be better and they have to keep their money for a very long time to be profitable.

Yes, I believe it is. If they do not believe in the term HODL bec it is only for the brave then their loss will be forever. They will panic sell and they cannot revover anymore of how much loss they suffer from the long bear season. Of course, if you hold long term, one day when the market recovers what loss you have will be rewarded.

That's the risk in the world of cryptocurrency, if you brave to take risks then you are ready to make a profit and must be prepared to lose too. Everything depends on your passion.if you want to be a true holder then, keep your style to make a profit. but you also need to be able to make decisions because the crypto world cannot be predicted

- But if the market does not recover, what you lose will never return, and you will waste a lot of time on holding, and with such a problem, I feel holding just for people who have too little knowledge in the market, no experience and skills, hold is a way for them to have certain safety, they are not brave, they can only be called people who have enough patience but lack skills. Brave people are people who face the market, professional traders, they trade every day and every day to optimize profits, the volatility of the market does not affect the psychological or makes them feel scared

Indeed, a certain courage and confidence in the crypto market is needed to continue hodl their coins. I am convinced that from next year the situation will gradually improve, we will be able to notice a stable price increase. Therefore, the best solution for work becomes hodl and the purchase of good coins at a bargain price.

HODL is only for brave people, that's true. because all of this has a very high risk, which is why many people suggest that when we want to buy or invest Cryptocurrency coins we are advised to use cold money, or money that we do not use for our daily needs. Because if we lose, it is not a problem that is so difficult.

yes, HODL is at high risk and is worth the courage for those who do it. I don't think whether this situation allows them to make a profit, even I myself have never tried it when the market went down. maybe it's better that I hold myself back to look safe, not yet ready for my pocket to be empty  ;)

Many people decide to hold coins because the market situation is not supportive. Even though Hold coins are very risky, you also have to be careful with coins that you hold. Of course, you have to choose coins that have the potential for the future.

HODL on stable and top coins is the right step in this situation, as far as individual coins and choices are concerned, there is no way to predict what risk they will take and whether they will benefit from it.

Various methods are used to profit even though they have risks such as holding coins. Coins that are held have risks because not all coins can grow and maybe many people have experienced this. But the Hold is also needed because market conditions collapse to avoid losses. And they believe that coins will grow in the future.

potential coins are currently low, so it's very appropriate if you keep RESISTANT. any choice must have risks so you must be able to accept if something happens. I hope you can benefit from the Hold strategy. brave or not if Hold will provide security for your coins.

For those who can have patience. It’s not everyone that is ready to buy a coin and continue to hold it when the price drops and they are losing. A lot of people would quickly quit and withdraw their funds, and these are the people who are kind of greedy, lol, they want only profit, despite they were told that there are risks, but they still want only profit. So when it’s not bringing they profit they will just withdraw. They are also those that buy out of FOMO, because they are greedy and they need profit at all cost and they are still those that will lose.

surely all guys don't hold coin. because for holding need to be patience. somebody thought if i hold, future if market don't rise can fall loses. but which have faith to crypto, they are don't sell lower prices. of course wait for hopefull prices market and take patience for good time. so you are right that  HODL for only the brave.

For the brave and patient, I'd add. We have seen what this strategy can lead to by the example of bitcoin. But now the situation is a little more complicated and we can not know which of the coins will be worth a lot in the future, but despite this HODL is one of the best and most effective strategies.

Yes, I have some coins that I do not intend to sell now and I will keep them for a long time until the market recovers. The risk is that so you can wait a very long time and not everyone can stand it. HODL is a great strategy, but I would recommend using other ways of earning.

Well holding for me doesn't mean you are brave, holding means you understand what crypto is , you know that what goes down will surely go up. Most people start crypto without understanding this part, so once there is a bearish market ,they quickly sell off and are seen as weak hands.

Yeah, only a tough nut can hold all its coins in this situation on the cryptocurrency market. I try to keep, but it turns out more and more difficult.

I think that Hold is in most of the cases for those who didn't sell at the right moment. I am this kind of holder :)

I see a lot of people talk about holding here everytime but I think holding requires patience and persistence because it is not easy to see your assets dump very hard and still HODL them.

welp holding coins is for brave, holding your coins is really risky because of the market right now.

Exactly, Hodl works only on the top coins not on ICO's most time also I request everyone not to hodl bounty tokens as it drops very badly. I had a experience on this as I was working on a bounty for three months and after all I got nearly 1 lakh tokens where the value of this was nearly $125 only. So I taught to hodl for few more months like something will happen in the market value. after a long time I checked the current value of this and now the value of the tokens is $15. Guys be careful when it comes to bounty holdings.

 the performance of these coins continued to gather momentum and more people invested in the market. The prices of these coins and other digital currencies have dipped numerous times in the past few months, yet the market value has continued to grow. The three most popular cryptocurrencies have made huge gains in this period of technological evolution.

Your hope will be rewarded because patience for one's struggle will be rewarded with good results. Holding down for the brave might be brave because he believes that his value in the future will increase, if it will be lower and that's a risk so you last longer. Holding is a safe way to avoid losing everything but safe for now, in the future luck, will increase or will decrease.

This investment philosophy is extreme and is usually a crazy adventurer, similar to gambling. I don't think this method is the best way to invest, and when cryptocurrency continues to fall, HODL is meaningless.

Recent events have well shown what can lead to HODL and blind belief that the fall in the price of cryptocurrency can not be delayed for a long time, this is a lesson and it is necessary to draw the right conclusions

Well that's why you have to be a little more careful as well with the coins that you plan to hodl. For me, established coins like btc and eth, despite their current status, will have huge adoption in the future, hence i'm confident that time and patience is the only challenge i have to overcome.

At this time only new user are investing because all old user are on hold and doing nothing in spite of holding of old investment. This is good decision that smart investors is waiting for good time in coming few months. Only brave person can do this, other wise panic people have sold the coins at bottom level already. 

If you are able to stay calm, even if your portfolio is decreasing its value, then you can hold some coins. But if you panic every time, when the market goes down, you should leave this by side and find some other place to make money.

Soon those who hold their coins will also sell. when Bitcoin falls below 3 thousand dollars then even those who believed very strongly will start to sell. and then only those people who know how the technology works and are in the market not only for profit will remain on the market

I am not that brave, but I keep hodl my coins. As for me there are a lot of information about every token and I am trying to take it into account. As a result I choose best tokens and I am trying to hold some of them.
Well, actually I hold and I am trying to be brave

Of course, I agree that in the conditions of a long bear market and a period of more than a year of stagnation, we need to keep our coins and tokens. Their sale is not logical now and will only lead to the loss of our funds. However, it is hardly reasonable to rely only on cryptocurrency retention as the most effective way to make a profit, especially now when the market is stagnant for the second year. The most appropriate solution in this situation will be periodic cryptocurrency trading, when, with its high price volatility, it temporarily rises or falls in price.

Yes obviously most of token holders are those cryptocurrency participants with optimistic minds and braves, because they believe and they trust that the tokens they are holding will increase its price. holding for a long time gives you benefits by earning more profits.

the main thing is that these people really believe in real projects but not in scam projects. sure there is so many people who are waiting for the growth of scam projects

Not all cryptocurrency investors are traders so they are holding instead of trading cryptocurrencies, it is easier and more safe tactic in very long term.

I think Hodl is for the People who have other sources of Income , Basically for the People who Invested the amount of money which they afford to loose and who believes in the Industry deeply. Yes One need to be really brave to hodl in a weak market.

I agree that coin holders are brave people.
They are confident in certain coins, carefully calculated their long-term perspective and boldly looking to the future with confidence expect price increases in order to get the planned desired profit.

withholding the need for patience is quite high especially in the current market conditions that still have not addressed a significant development. holding back is a good technique for trading, so there's no need to rush to sell it immediately.

Hodl for me is a belief and hope for the future of crypto, a belief that crypto will not die but will grow better and become an opportunity to get maximum results.

Hodl only coins are not wait after purchase. Although it may seem like an easier method, it is not easy to earn money while you wait or keep the money you have, you should continue to follow. Sometimes you have to make some trade and try to increase your coins :)

I also think that is the best option. Actually I do not intend to sell them, I will wait at the market return. Good luck!

Only those people, who seriously and sincerely believe in the cryptocurrencies and their growth, can hold Bitcoin and altcoins for a long time. Many people rush to dump their crypto when they see the market is falling.

I think its better to say that for people or investors who aim for long term investment will hodl their coins/altcoins for sure. Only hodlers win 100% and earn a lot of profits but it will definitely take a very long time before hitting a double or maybe a 5x profits.

I think that's the only right decision right now. You should not give up cryptocurrency and lose hope despite the bearish market. You must continue to keep your coins and buy more new ones. Your cryptocurrency portfolio should be ready when the new bullrun starts.

Yes, hodl only for true believers. But it is not the worst time to hodl now as crypto market is not at its peak. Trading for a short term can be very difficult and you need the time to do it properly.

At times like these, HODL is not the most profitable option, just can you make good money on trading or buying for a short period of time

Hope will be rewarded. It sounds very optimistic, but the dynamics of Bitcoin growth that started this year suggests the opposite, it is likely that the growth rate of Bitcoin this year will be such that it will not bring the slightest relief to any of the investors, and we will forced to wait another year or two.

I think even for the insane, it is now impossible to predict how this or that coin will behave. It is clear that stable alts will continue to grow and develop, but I want to add something new and competitive in the portfolio.

Well, I myself is hodling not that much but I am not afraid on the possible outcome it can give me, still I am waiting for a good market where I can sell token that I personally hold. I think it will going to be sad if people are just giving up because of news and hype not really researching something about a project in a good way.

Yes, you are correct. Only brave people can hold. It is not that I am luring investors to do so. It is only for them to reap much profit. As cryptocurrency will not disappear, nothing will happen if you hold your holdings for a bit longer. Otherwise, you will add to your loss. I think cryptocurrency will become stable and strong further with coins reaching the moon.

Hodl doesn't make any sense. Most times we hodl, it turns to nothing in our wallets let's say you joined crypto late 2017 and early 2018,bought eth at 1200$, joined the hodl gang that landed you at 86$ per Eth isn't that a heavy loss. Cut loss when you can take profit when you see it.

I will agree with that. Its not just for the brave but also for the patient. I've been holding already for a long time now and hopefully we all be rewarded for this. In this type of crypto market, I don't see any other option but to hodl. Its the only logical thing to do but the real problem is until when we are going to hold. Hopefully this year is the end of our holding.

That's for sure, hodl is the most suitable policy in this market, because in such a market selling your assets is not the best idea!

Otherwise, it can not be, all the others have already left the crypto currency, so the further, the more reliable the group of investors remains in the crypto currency

The most important thing is that this courage be rewarded in the end. Then all those holding their coins will truly be called brave.
Otherwise, we will all be stupid.

And what strategies can be today? If you are confident in the prospects of this or that project, then in order to get good results, you need to leave coins for long-term storage. But when choosing a project, you need to be careful enough, because the cryptocurrency market is in such a state that it will be very difficult for everyone to develop.

I do not support this long-term investment strategy because it will not bring you any good

As practice shows, the HODL strategy does not work on short and medium time intervals. Will there be a coin in 2-3 years? I'm not sure that many altcoins will survive this time period.

A lot of people seem to dump their token as soon as the token loses it market value. You  an tell such people don't have an  depth knowledge of how the crypto market works, because like other market , the crypto market has it own ups and downs. If the token value is low now, the value can pump up at any time. It all about taking calculated risk. In the end there will be reward for HODL.

I don't think so, sometimes someone becomes a holder and investor because of an accident, because they are late selling it and many people are better to keep it until prices up again. HODL is not for brave but HODL for patient people.

I support, of course, a HODL must be rewarded for his patience and endurance) Thanks to HODL, we will be able to resist a bearish trend and help the course start moving upwards. So let's guys be a little more tolerant and will not sell our cryptoactives.

Long-term investments have their pitfalls, such as volatility. If you are trading at the same time, you can also increase the number of coins a little, both during the growth and during the fall.

HODL isn't easy way to success, It should pass so many difficult situations. So I think holding or short term trading should be depend on the effort that you can put on this field. And also mostly now lot of people holding their coin because of they haven't nothing to do.

"HOLD" is a belief if you believe it. if we think about the development trend of blockchain, in 3 to 5 years. Its trend will rise sharply. i don't think u need to worry too much, as long as it is a good quality coin.

HODL because we can't do anything else!
...that's more of the reality.
If you have lost 80% value on your coins, there's not much you can do besides hodling.
You could sell it for close to nothing, but if it's almost nothing might as well just keep em.

But, there are a lot of other things you can do.
The easiest is to just buy up more.
Since everything is dirt cheap right now, you can minimize your cost per token ratio substantially.
You can bounty hunt, you can day trade, you can mine, or even play crypto games.
So much besides just sitting around doing nothing.

Lol sometimes HODL also applicable for those who has been trapped when the value suddenly drops bigger from the capital amount just like what happen in the year of 2018 when more than half of crypto population has been trapped and no other choice but to HoDl if they dont wanna lose much bigger

HODL is only for those who are patient and who has the capacity to wait for the market to recover. Not every investor is willing to wait or has the capability to wait. Some investors need money to pay bills, that's why instead of holding they sell for less. That's also one of the reasons why it is reasonable to only invest the amount of money you can afford to lose, so that if ever you need money, you will not sell for losses.

but we not only have to believe without analyzing our coins because not all coins will grow even though the blockchain is well developed.
So the best from now on, you start checking whether your coins are worth the long term or the best to sell them immediately

I am among those who hold coins for years. I do this because I see great potential in bitcoin and ethereum. I like people who do HODL.

Hold isn't for brave alone. Sometimes people hold the coins because no choice due to missed the right opportunity to trade when it was high in value. Waiting for another pump is the only solution to solve the problem of losing investment earnings.

Hodl is not only for brave people. But for people who have analyzed the technique / fundamentals that the price of the token you hold will increase in the coming months or years.

Venture capitalists invest in innovation and wait for 7 years to mature, so this is too soon to consider selling crypto if you think it should be comparable.

I think same too and only those who are tough and courageous can pull through such times like these i believe strongly in my heart that soon our hopes will rewarded thanks

HODL is only for patient people who are not here for the money in first place... that is my short opinion for people saying these type of statements.

Of course it is not! I think, holding more for cautious or cowardly people, because first type know, that their coin will rise in future and the second just don't know what to do with their coins.

MMm..everething depends how long you holding :) If you bought your crypto in january 2018 and lost 90% of usd value, i dont think that its a good strategy in future. But if you bought now on that low prices, of course its makes sence too wait for a little and see what happens. But i think better strategy, especially on that bearish market, get profit from your trade and fix it stable coin, that repeat and repeat.

When i saw this thread i remembered the first one about HODL meme https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0 . A lot of patience and braveness needs to HODL. Lets do it!

No!, brave men do Trading, hodling is just a waste of time, you wait, and earn less, while in trading, you work and earn much. That's the difference between staying than working hard for your sake.

What courage is there to trade? It's a common thing, but to keep coins when the market quickly collapses, it really requires a lot of endurance and courage

Hodl isn't really for the brave only but rather for people that are determined and know what they want

I think that long-term investment is really for the brave, because I personally would not be able to watch for so long as cryptocurrencies then grow in price, then fall to the bottom.

I would not call myself a too brave man. I just plan to earn income, so I am sure that hodl will be the best strategy now and buy reliable cryptocurrencies at a low price. Now the crypto market creates excellent opportunities for profitable investments in the purchase of good coins, which have a chance to rise in price next year.

Absolutely, not everyone could watch his or her investment depreciate just like that without giving it out, it takes only the brave to hold on in times of difficulties. They really know what they are into and they always get their reward abundantly. Loss and gains in the crypto world always depend on the individual.

Beside brave, hodler are people who confident with his investment and the project. Hodler must be believe on crypto future and i think hold for long term is good for our psychology as long we hold good coin with good developers team

Holders have a long way to go but we indeed have to be strong and determined, always remember  that determination is power on its own, bad days don't last forever, hodl good coins and tokens, wait patiently for the perfect time

Before hodling for long term, i am believe investor doing a good research and believe on the project in the future. Long term is profitable as long the project have solid developers team and have good marketing system

HODL is not only for the brave but for the determined and futuristic individual who has researched more into what he is hodling and see beyond what others see in that coin. you still can be brave but without determination, you still may quit early from HODLING.

Hodling is a very difficult decision to make, when you've held on to many tokens that ended up disappointing you, probably because the project was forfeited by the team or your wallet was hacked and all you've been holding was stolen. It quite unfortunate to hold a significant amount of a token which was worth only for the value to dump drastically without any remedy.
My humble advice is that you sell some to take profit and save the money to buy back low. The industry is highly volatile and there's always an opportunity to secure same token at a lesser cost.

HODL is for everyone that believes to the coin that he has. But you can sell it at any moment you wish depending on the situation like what happened recently. Let's take it as an example, you held bitcoin when it was $3,500 and yesterday price rose to $5,400. Your holding period has ripen and that's the time that you have to take profit by selling it. And when you already had it, wait for further movement of the market. If it is on your favor and the market goes on dip, use the profit to take back your coin and save your profit.

Hold good coins will always bring a good amount of profit if sell when price is high, and if someone hold for long term bitcoin, they could make a good amount of money, always hold for long can bring a very high profit, but always will depends on what coin choose to hold for long.

You can only hope for the future growth of cryptocurrency. To sell what you have does not make sense at the moment. The losses are so great that I see no choice but to wait. Patience will be rewarded.

I think most of the holders are forced by a number of things,
"Investors accidentally" or "holders accidentally" which is a lot of things happening in the crypto world.

Now I understand the Brave brand!

Mind blown!

those who dare to make long-term investments are very brave because of course the risk they will get in the future is quite large, we know that some of the projecks in fact the price drops when it gets longer due to the lack of enthusiasts

It is the brave that knows the value of long term hodling. Weak people are used to settling for mediocrity by undercutting or selling cheap. Brave crypto enthusiasts will hodl for several years to enjoy the best rewards

Sure you will be rewarded for the belief that you got on cryptos and you can see it today from where the price reached at the time of creation of this thread,just keep holding to make money without much efforts.

Yeah, but I personally won't dare to Hodl anything in this market though, I see a slight retrace before we think of going anyway up. But for long term holders, accumulating low sat coins right now wouldn't be a bad idea. It's just my opinion though, you can still DYOR

If you have the necessary funds for normal life and development, then you can safely keep Bitcoin for at least 5-10 years. I personally plan to behave in this not easy cryptocurrency market. Last year in the Altcoins lost 70% of their capital.

Just now this time has come when the cryptocurrency market is experiencing a lot of problems and investors are afraid to invest in any cryptocurrency due to the fact that manipulators control everything and we have to hold until better times.

In my opinion, we will only keep when the market is positive. Instead of keeping you able to trade it during the day and making a profit without taking up much of your capital.

Yes. Holding is for the brave risk takers.
One with a feeble heart will not be able to hold a coin for long for fear of it turning shit in his hands etc.
Just like they say that holders are winners .
I believe that adage .
But I suggest that caution should be taken so one doesn't end up buying coins that are worthless.

I really like to walk.  I do not spend much time on it, but because of my iron patience I earn bread and butter.  And it really suits me.

Ask any cryptocurrency holder (a.k.a "hodler") and they'll tell you hodling is more than just an investment strategy. It's a way of life. It goes far deeper than the art of patience. It's a philosophy and intense loyalty to all things crypto and blockchain technology, if you believe that in the long term cryptocurrencies will see much broader adoption and use and that the currencies you are holding are likely front-runners in their area of technology.

It’s the equivalent of being a long-term stock investor like Warren Buffett. You are choosing top issues in what you feel is an undervalued, emergent industry and you intend to hold until they reach their full potential regardless of what the market does. In fact, you may buy more on a dip.

if the strategy you set is good and right so you can get it, but if what you do you feel doubtful that the results are not in line with his expectations.
holding coins for a long time requires extensive patience and is done to secure coins in bad conditions, but you still have to pay attention to coin movements so you don't miss a good moment.

Hodl is only for the brave? I think it's just a feeling of being a coward who is afraid to do things that can give them greater profits than we just become a Hodl, why I say that because holding a coin when the bear market is something that can endanger us because the value will continue to fall.
Even though we know the prices on Crypto every day will always change so that is what will make us lose why we do not take advantage of this price movement to continue to get real profits.

 Holding is for those who are not willing to trade  or do not know how to they can make profit by trading. On the bearish market it is not the best solution to hold your coins as they can lose a lot from their value and not all of them will recover.

Holding is a best strategy in terms that is meant to be used during the bull season hodling do not pay during the loss season and it's a bad idea,  I'm sure that all will  learn from what the market had done to each on of us,  it is either you have the courage or haven`t or  if you are holding a bad coin during bear market you are doing it on your own.

HODL is just not for the brave but the investors and traders who have learned their lessons through extensive research and have realized the capabilities of the coin in possession. Thus, investors who do extensive research before buying a coin understand the reason to HODL that coin .

Hold coins are done because investors want to get more profits and can avoid falling prices. This is one strategy that has been widely used and many people have succeeded. So if the Hold is only used by brave people, I think it's true.

i think you said it wrong . hodling is being used by investors or traders during the bear season because its a bad idea to sell your coins at a cheap price or at a loss .


hodling a bad coin isnt really beneficial because once you hodl a bad coins there is a chance that it cannot recover anymore even when bitcoin and other top coins are going to pump  .  thats why its suggested that we must chose  a coin wisely because the market nowadays is now full of bad coins  .

Indeed, holding can really for the brave or those people who have funds that are just lying idly. However, holding some Bitcoin right now can be a good decision as it is now poised to soon get into the $6K level and from there who knows where it can go up. Unlike the year 2017, people these days are always cautious and not being blinded by speculations and this is the kind of situation we really want. People who are investing with cryptocurrency must always be using their heads and not their emotions which can be fatal (same is true with any other investment vehicles). I still believe that soon Bitcoin and other top cryptos can be making a good run and we can be making money here if we have the right strategies.

I'm still strong for now, but the storm keeps coming, everything I hold, dumps everything and. The current market conditions in my opinion cannot be predicted well, it's better not to enter at this time. I will try to hold back until next year.

Actually this is not a brave matter or not because we should have considered this when we want to make an investment or hold a long term hold. we have prepared to be able to get maximum results from an investment that we will do. research and also learning about the projeck

hodl indeed one way to reduce losses on assets we have but keep in mind also that coins and altcoins have good prospects, but if someone who is brave usually does both between holding and trading, because I think it's an effective way to get lots profit.

Now the market remains red and continues its steady decline. But in any case, I will continue to hodl and buy good coins. And my decision is not due to any courage. This is simply the best strategy for generating income - now you can make investments at a very low price, in order to receive income later.

As you know market is not performing well at this time and i hope will grow fast after June when will be regulations submit by Japan , so need to hold and wait to bull run.

HODL are for only those who are braves? Then what do you think about those people who are going to some trading and risking their earnings in order to get some profit and to make some money to cut their losses? And what do you think about those people who are trying to play some games (https://vegascasino.io/casino/video-slots/wild-pixies?utm_source=ccwp) in order for them to make angd get some profit? Who are risking their money to earn more than the usual doings. Those people are brave also because they are risking their earnings in order to get some larger profit.

I read a recent study that during the previous bullish market, it was not the traders who made the most money, but those who followed the HODL strategy. In my opinion the HODL strategy is only suitable for the brave and patient, you have to believe in success to succeed.

not only courage is needed in this industry
but the challenges ahead will be even greater for investors who are holding back for a long time.
like what happened to this accident and correction.
in my opinion experience, knowledge and always looking for all information is something that is required in this industry.

Knowledge will give a higher profit than any other feature. Bravery is more like a luck when it comes to an investing. It can help you occasionally but not always. Thus, smart investor prefers knowledge over luck or any other factor.

I believe that investors who hold their coins now will gain huge profits in the future. Because especially after 3-4 years, I think coin prices will be much higher than their current situation.

It has always been for those that are brave enough to do it, cause everyone are ready to take that kind of risks. My friends don’t hodl, they just do other things and they don’t waste time in selling their coins cause they don’t like to Hodl and they always think that they are going to lose their money if they continue to hold. I do it and twice it has worked for me. I’m also doing it this year and I don’t know how it’s going to be, will keep watching.

Indeed, this strategy is only for the brave and patient when its risk is huge, it is almost a bet, we can get a lot of money or lose a lot of money depending on our choices, not everyone can be mentally prepared and ready for those problems. And it is certain that many people will not like this method when it is a great challenge to the spirit, we can even waste time and skip many opportunities in the market, personally, I also don't like this method when I feel very passive, I like the initiative and management, taking advantage of every opportunity

Who knows how to wait will wait for huge prices, but you just need to choose the right coin for long-term investment.

I am a holder and not a daily trader who monitors the market every day and trades daily profits.
I would rather hold my token because it feels safer and safer, when the price goes down I will hold it anytime and when the price goes up I sell it and I will buy it again when the price drops.
that's the principle of my HODL!!!.

In investment, of course long term is a better thing, I don't like daily trading and buying coins that have skyrocketing prospects for the long term such as ethereum, EOS, Tether and so on.

in my opinion, hold is the right choice for long-term investment, because I'm sure the crypto price will definitely increase very high in the future, but if you want to get a profits quickly, so in my opinion  trading is the right choice, because trading will give you profits quickly compared to hold and of course the risk of trading is smaller than holding.

HODL'ing is a good strategy to adopt and it's not just "for the brave" as you put it because it can be beneficial for wise investors who might not want to go to all the trouble of day trading for profits and instead just accumulate an asset when it represents great value and then be patient and wait for it to appreciate which is the condition a lot of good quality alternatives are indicating they might still be in from a medium to long term perspective

End of 2018 and early 2019 is a good time to buy coins and keep holding the coins that you already have. And in recent months the market has continued to show a very positive trend. And I think the coins that you have now are definitely going up in price. And now we are thinking of getting ready to sell coins.

It's a good options if you don't want to be tired with daily fluctuations, hard and a tough selections of alts that's needed to assess each time you buy a tokens for holding, it's always good to reassess every time to find something that beneficial to you, always make an extra effort to check the progress and how strong the project can go.

You always have a big chance when doing  a long term holding only if you have  bitcoin or some other alternative coins inside top 10 from CMC.

The problem here is how much time it will take for the market to recover and your investments will not be lost. The future is hard to tell because many altcoin can die and shitcoin. If you're holding a good coin, rest assured it won't disappoint you.
