A lot people argue about if it is better to hodl on the long term or the short term neglecting the most important thing.
The timing with which you have to hodl your tokens or investment is very important, to ensure you do not rekt.

For every token, there is a time to hodl, and time not too, figure out the timing before investment.

It should be the timing to invest, hodl and sell. We must try to make sure if we have been getting a nice profit and that's the time for us to sell our coin/token. In another way, if we are seeing the market gets rekt and that's the best time to invest in again.
We must know where is the time to sell, buy and hodl. It's not about long term or short term but it's about how we can use the chance perfectly.

I don't agree. Unless you are buying a pump and dump project with zero value.

Buy coins which may be worth siomething in the future because they have a good team and a real use case. Most of the projects doesn't even propose something like that... a good project (such as bitcoin) can be worth a lot in long term

Long term hold and short term hold are two different strategy but you can always change your strategy according to the situation.
A short term holder would redeem his profit on a small margin while a long term holder would not care for the market fluctuation but would bet on the future of the coin. It also depends on how easy you feel to trade your coin and how much time you can spare to make your orders.

Based on my previous experienced, the holding of tokens shouldn't if the project listed their tokens on an exchange. Some of my tokens are worthless because of my long-term holding of tokens in my wallet as a result of hoping for a bigger price in the future. Sometimes last two years, I bought some good tokens from a reliable project and hold, during their initial list I never wanted to sell because I saw prospect with the project but later realized that I was played while holding. From this experience, I don't invest in new projects and hold their token, rather await dump when they list their token in exchange.

In our time now?after the token was being listed in exchange?expect that in just a few hours it will already dumping.
thats why let us not rely in tokens from the ICO,and instead of investing on those?why not just Buy Bitcoin so your money is safe if you ever wanted to HODL.

Imagine risking your money in Shitcoins while there are legit currencies that can make you profit without big risk.

Long term holding strategy is risky at the moment as we are not sure if coins would rise to their All time high and even if there were a bull rally, we are not sure if every of the coins would have similar rise. Like said, if you believe in the project and the project is still to launch it's service, it's good to hold them for long term and sell when they gets their value. If there are no such milestones to achieve, it's better to sell them in short term for profit.

like before halving, or after. we need to determine the moment to hold assets. however, some people sometimes take advantage of the moment dump before buying an asset. however, looking for information before buying a coin, or is important. it determines whether you will hold the coin in the short or long term.

You should have give example of timing to hold and time not to HODL, I think it's all down to what's happening to crypto market presently, or the project itself, here are few things to make you want to take profits once available

1. Altcoin season
2. Huge announcement
3. Top exchanges

Sometimes it's better to take profits instead of holding for many years

in cryptocurrency investment we have to be smart in looking for opportunities, sometimes when we invest in long-term coins we don't make a profit, whereas when we invest in the short term we make a profit even if only a little, so use the opportunities as well as possible.

we cannot predict what would happen, I don't actually hodl my token for a long term i sell them even i earn a little. If i would invest for long term i still go for bitcoin and ethereum.

Those your tokens are worthless because they are or were shitcoins, and they get pumped and end up dumped, so I think OP should specifically note that it's the shitcoins that should not be held for the long term, if you're lucky to be aware when they get pumped, you should sell them then, they would not pump or go to the moon as the project wants you to believe.
Ico projects incessantly spread false information, either on their payment method or on the exchange they are going to list, even when they are going to list etc, this informations are embellished to gain traction, the chances are high they'll still dump nonetheless, so do not trust every information they give to you.

Both has timing in selling. You hold long or short term, it's the key to know whether you profit or not. Having low patience will make you sell in the short term even if the prices don't go with your plans. We have our own timeline and the thing to remember is to sell in appropriate time.

short term,  long term, and timing are just nothing without figuring out which one is promising and worthy of risk.  Therefore I would say better to worry first the better one then rest will follow.

The longer you hold it, the more you gain. Especially when you buy the top altcoins in this market. Your share is only true for short-term investments, it requires accurate timing and regular monitoring to make a profit.

To be safe, it is not even wise holding most new projects for long term as a good number will likely bring in swapping, thus defeating the idea of holding, only few are worth holding. On the other hand, holding for short term might seems to work depending on the coin though. Nevertheless, when one needs to hold for long term, major coins are always adviced because they are already developed and will keep working to be better, while new projects after listing will start dumping from which some might not even recover from; that is to say in other words, new projects might be fit for short term holding. Now about timing in general, actually it matters only in new projects therefore buying early will give higher opportunity to hold and sell when in Profit; now long term or short term holding depends on the growth of the platform.

The best option when long-term investment is still bitcoin and ETH. Because its value will surely go up in the future, for other altcoins you need to study carefully because it can die and crash anytime.

This is true. BTC seems to be the mothership you board after venturing out. Altcoins are more volatile but that may settle down as BTC becomes more stable.

Long term is for coin like bitcoin but if you apply the same with random token then you will get rekt so don't keep holding if the token is losing value, just try to exit if the coin have no hope of surviving that.

When you are holding a real project then you will not be having any problem but if you hold only speculative projects then you must rush toward encashing or converting back to eth or btc will be good. I had lots of bitter experiences by opting some tokens for longer duration and then they got delisted from exchanges. I still hold IPSX and HBZ tokens but most exchanges have already delisted them, in that hellbiz was based on taxi business like uber but they are also not sustaining.

I guess it would be much better not relying on any project and closing the tokens as early as possible will much better option for anyone. I guess this is the reason why most bounty hunters are immediately selling all their rewards. When a project is good, immoderately selling will not impact them in long run.

This is true when you are dealing with all the experimental projects in the form of ICO and IEO, if you are planning to hold those coins then the possibility of getting REKT is really high and anyone who invested in those in the past have experienced that, so anyone who got burned will be careful to invest in those but if they invest then they will sell off immediately when they profit rather than holding it for a longer period of time.

It is better to think that 9/10 coins in the market are shitcoins, I used to believe this way coz I got so many coins in my ERC20 wallet came from various projects through campaign and airdrops but none of them is beneficial for me, coins like those were purposely made to look you got plenty of coins in your wallet. Coins can be easily dumped once the people got a profit into it, always keep in mind that it is not you who make a value of your coins, it is your fellow holders.

Most of projects now are very mendacious, they keep telling great information but none of those are true, I call it imaginary flower. ICOs now is a crap, though there are still paying projects for their bounty hunters but most of them are just pure crap, coins listed to be delisted, I'm just done working and investing on it.

If we are looking for the token to HODL, I don't think that I will take it only based on the right timing. Well, it may be for the top altcoins or for the old token that has great volume and value on the market. However, for the new token coming from a new project, I will not risk my funds only based on timing. I will preferably choose the token for holding based on these followings at least:
1. Clear Promising Projects
It offers very clear projects, a professional and experienced team that will always make development and progress all the time.
2. Real use case of the project
I will preferably choose the coin that is used for real use cases. We all know that a real use case project will take more than 2 years to grow. With good development, the project can probably be successful. Despite the future will be worthy or not, holding token with a real use case in the future will have more chances to grow than only the usual coin.
3. Token supply, trading volume, and also exchange
These things are also important to be considered. For a new coin to be listed, a good start will definitely make the future better. In this case, preferring to get a coin that is listed on the top exchange will be the priority. Additionally when it has good trading volume with limited token supply. It will be worthier to be invested for a long term even with some risks.

Many times I came across the fact that some people hold coins that should have been sold. At one time they were quite successful, but then they reached their price peak and then their price began to decline. It is very important to be able to take profit on time.

because not all tokens are worth to hodl. most of them needed to be sold while they still have value in the market. very few can sustain the market. most tokens die. thats the reality!
i have had so many experiences with tokens that i regret not selling when they hit the exchanges. very few tokens have real use case so they eventually die because traders just move on to the new guy in the block..

only a few altcoins that still have developments that will still be very valuable to survive as some cases of altcoins created from ICO, only a few are still able to survive, so it is better able to hold altcoin that really has potential so it won't make you disappointed.

It is easier to say these things rather than actually implement it, after last peak many people started buying the dip in hope for market to again move up but we have seen market coming down and down and people getting rekt everytime, i still think that if you have got in cheap hodling is the best policy especially if you are in for long run.

This depends mainly on the project whose cryptocurrency you are holding. Do a good background research to know whether this project has a future or not. Look out for use case and token economics that makes it worth more holding this particular coin. if none of these exist then i would never advise you to hold any of such coin because it's likely to dump in a very short while and never rise again.

that also happened to me, when ethereum prices were very high, and I did not immediately sell them when ethereum prices began to show a decline, because at that time I was sure that ethereum prices would return to normal but in fact not ethereum prices declined

But there is always a question about that timing you have mentioned.
 
 -When and How can we determined if it is the right timing?
 
 Though I can agree that there is always  good and the right time for us to hold, to buy and/or to sell. But with the use of different tools like indicators, we may have a guide on when to sell or to buy more coins to hold.
 And at some point, it is not always the timing. There arr a lot of altcoins that has no value already even if you hold it.

I think its better how to timing and not just wait when its gonna bullrun its better just to hold on low, sell on high to so that you'll gain good profit while still holding other coins.

Previously we don't have any idea about the cryptocurrency market situation where many people failed to sell them at a higher price. During the last bull run, there are only very few fiat currencies, which nobody has any idea about converting for ETH to USDT. So it is always good to hold them in long term.

Current conditionsnow followed by the trend a lot of  coins / tokens  was born are very confusing to choise and  forcing us to be more observant in investing. Many people take advantage of the moment dump with resistant and selling patterns. For me, if you have a quality token / coin and good price you can hold it for a long time but if the coin / token has not good price and not familiar by the market, it is very difficult to move up. its end up as a collection of SC.

Clever in choosing and investing.

This will depend on how you analyze the market or a specific coin, and its really important to timing the market though its not easy to execute. Timing the market is like chasing for its prices and its value, in trading you have to be more faster than anyone or you'll be late. Timing in the market is more easy if you're goal is long term since you are just setting an specific price to sell and buy, so its easy to know when and how.

True! Fiat-cryptocurrency such as USDT is kind of safe to hold in the long run. However, holding it as a store of value is good. But if you try to hold it to earn a profit, it's quite impossible. A stable coin such as USDT is born to be a coin that keeps its value over time. Therefore, if holders want to earn profits, they have to risk their money in other altcoins that have the potential to pump its price.

If you are holding a good token you won't have any problem. problem only exist if you are invested into something that is too volatile but volatility can be good. If you want to be in it for long haul you can stick to eth, btc etc but there are other tokens that very good long hodl. You just wanna make sure to keep yourself updated all the time so there is no risk of your token getting delisted. it can happen. one time I had this alt and it was going to get delisted. luckily, I sold it a day before.  :)

Sometimes, the new tokens don't need too long to list on the exchanges so people can sell their tokens and make a profit. But that is not for all new tokens because if we see right now, the new token needs a long time to list on the exchange because the developer and the teams don't want to risk their token from the dump. They think that better to wait for a while until the market can be normal so they can try to contact the exchange to list their token.

Hodling for the long term or for the short term are individual choices and it has to be guided through professional decisions, which is why everyone is implored to do their own researches and be responsible for every decisions made.

Also, it may be true that there are times to hodl, but most times, hodling can be a bigger risk, than you can imagine.

Every token isn't good for a long time hold, you could lose your whole investment. For a long time hold only the top exchange listed coin, although the short term holding time is over. Scam project never has a good time to hold, you should take action after realizing scam project. From this time top coin hasn't very risky for a long time.

That's true and we must understand if the market will not be in the bullish trend forever and we must aware of the probability for the market to go down and then bounce again. If we can make good money from this bounce and why not?

I think the value of a utility token goes up when the relative demand rises compared to the supply. This has nothing to do with the usage of the token. There are several crypto exchanges like Binance, Next and Block port that use a utility token as an internal payment system. token is assigned to a user by linking its serial number to the user record stored in the system database.

I have read one post here in this forum about investment in crypto and holding coins, I like it. He said divide your investment into two parts, Purchase any good altcoin with 50% investment and buy stable coin like USDT, USB with remaining 50% money. In this way, you will never lose your actual money and also get profit in both sides if coin goes up sell it and if the coin goes down buy it.

for new tokens, or short-term traders, maybe the time to buy, or own assets is not so important. however, for those who hold assets in the long run, this seems very important. however, we need to gather information and buy when the price has not gone up. sometimes there are moments that can make the price of a token or coin rise high.

Why buy stablecoins? If you buy stablecoins, you will never get a profit with it because its value is always stable in USD. It is better to diversify investments with Bitcoin and the leading altcoins in this market

If the value of the token is good and decent and has a market, you may hold it for a longer period while waiting for the price to rise. If you choose to trade quickly, place a large exchange and don forget to communicate with the more senior and understand about it.

If timing is a big constrain then tokens are here with another layer of risks added to them. But for a good and long lasting project, there should not be such a thing. But, if you want to grab a good price or profits then you must match with timing. This is applicable even for stocks as management decisions may not be favorable to investors all the times which may make prices to fall. I agree that timing is a factor, we must consider for maximizing our profits.

Do you know any specific strategy for figuring out the timing? Just keep following the roadmap and other related news may help any investor to act timely but we cannot be sure about when early investors will start dumping. So, like most other factors, the risk of timing cannot be suppressed or completely eliminated; we need to try maximizing profits within that.

This is a good advice, it makes me remember my past mistake where I jump into a token that was trading at a very high price and I buy too many, a month later this token drops and I lost, since that time this token haven't recover, always buy coins and tokens when they are down in value, that's the best move

That means after buying a certain coin or token you should maintain an every day checking of the price of it.

I have done this before and its restless.
Buying one token or acquiring it from a bounty and then waiting for the right moment to sell.
It must be done quick since investors could go ahead of you dumping the token.

You're right, we need to study the coins that we're going to hold if its good for short or long term. Im a long term hodler so I prefer to hold the well-established coins to make sure that even it takes a long period before I sell, it wont get delisted in exchanges. So you have to conduct a research in order to know the best strategy for a specific coin that you like to buy and hold, its best to have an idea rather than relying on luck.

actually timing is already included on here when deciding if what term your are going to go.  there are coins that are good for short term only like new tokens for example   . the timing for short term is that you must sold too early as long as you see the coin on their first pump because this pump could only be thier last or highest.  the timing for long term is that you must keep on hodling even the coins pump because this couldnt be the first one that will happen and dont forget to sell   . just not to over hodl and see price rise without doing a move

if you say the right time or not means we know what will happen in the future about the project, so it looks difficult, people can only predict and it will not always be precise and accurate.

well indeed price movements in cryptocurrency can never be predicted because it all depends on the interaction between buyers and sellers in the exchange, whereas if someone makes a prediction using a pattern that has occurred then it cannot provide a guarantee of cryptocurrency price movements.

You hold long or short term, it's the key to know whether you profit or not. sometimes when we invest in long-term coins we don't make a profit, whereas when we invest in the short term we make a profit even if only a little. It is very important to be able to take profit on time. If you are holding a good token you won't have any problem.

Timing is indeed important in holding a token, you dont just buy a token and hold at anytime, you check when the market is dipped or when altcoins is fallen by then BTC dominance would have been high,then you buy your tokens and the sell when you are satisfied with the profit.

It comes down to your risk appetite. You can do both, but never put all your eggs in one basket. You can hodl Bitcoin and go for some alts for daytrading. However, always use stops and limit orders when doing that, especially when you pick a notoriously volatile token. It has a reason why investors have a wide spread portfolio. Different assets have different risks and even a different profitability timeline.

Yes, it's like everyone predicted bitcoin and the market collapsed after halving. But in the end everything went against the price, soaring and very stable. So always do your research and never trust the predictions of others

it is always best to HODL than to trade ,but of course it depends on your ability and capacity to Trade and win or to Hodl and gain,you will be the one to decide this.
please change the word you use because tokens are never been good for holding,there are only few in a million in which holding token brings good profit to the holders.
and also don't be stupid to tell that there is a right time to HODL because holding means you can wait for years and this is why every time we can invest as long as we can wait for long.

In the recent times i will HODL #playfuel Blockchain Gaming platform. They assure in their website, PlayFuel brings the power of blockchain technology to the gaming world. We are doing this by creating a platform that allows developers to earn funding by integrating PlayFuel into their games and allowing players to mine PLF tokens just by playing.
Gaming Mainnet
PlayFuel is a crypto gaming platform initially built on the Ethereum network, but it will migrate to its own mainnet eventually. The mainnet gives PlayFuel the freedom to break free from the limitations set by the Ethereum platform. We will wait for their Mainnet launch after that their price will increase more, so that I hold #plf in my Wallet. Aladdin Cryptocurrency wallet, it supports more than 1600 ERC 20 Tokens and most of the Branded Cryptocurrency.

Not sure. Sometime holding can make you regret also, Im talking about altcoins here. We already know some coins like btc is definitely for long term hold but I like to open up trading advantages. Not all can do it, but learning how to manage it, maybe you dont want to hold anymore once you experience to gain profits in the long run.

I am an active trader on altcoins but only focusing on main projects of eth, bch, ada, bnb. These are my trading buddies, and they gave me some really good output, but loss is also there.

As for OP, you are right timing is the best part and you can take advantage also of this when you understand how to analyze chart pattern.

This argument runs, on and on and on again, but instead i preach these.
Hodl according to your discretion and not what anyone preaches to you.

To do this, do your own research and ensure to stick to the basics, take your profit and don't fall in love with any token.

Then you are just in for short and also to make quick profit. Holders don't time when to sell their holdings except it's a pump and dump coin.

indeed with a short-term trading method like that can provide a lot of profit but when doing this method at least you should be able to see how the conditions of the exchange as much as possible to trade when the conditions of the exchange place are a lot of activity or are having fast price movements because when conditions are not crowded then it will only make you wait too long.

long term hodl has been proven to bring anyone profit,
however it depends on what you hodl.
if your hodling some shit coins that doesn't even worth something
don't expect anything in return when a bearish market hits

Short-term or long-term is not a wrong decision. Still, you have a better way to get profits, that is you have to determine the amount of money you want to get when the target is reached you have to sell and vice versa whatever happens if the price you wish to has not been reached then you may not sell it at any time.

Yes, for making profits from speculative tokens of altcoin industry, you must need to act timely. I believe that there will not be any predetermined steps are available to get practice to act timely for our token investments. It is just possible only by experience and that could be the reason why many people are not good at it right now. Only the highly experienced crypto investors might be able to act timely with respect to their broken investments and all others may get profits from tokens or not, just depending on their luck factor.

I am just staying away from investing into any tokens because I'm not believing in to any projects which are making use of crowdfunding for building themselves. Instead of investing into tokens, I am just focusing on investing into decentralized coins because they are the basics of crypto space and I am still believing into that concept.

Well, the question is not everyone can predict and determine the right timing. I guess the secret in Holding a coin/token is to set aside your emotions, no matter what happens up and down. Don't let your emotions win, crypto holding needs a bunch of patience. Of course, make sure you are holding the right coin If this thread is not posted on altcoins discussion I will surely suggest holding bitcoin only, the safest asset that will surely recover no matter what happens. I still consider top 10 coins on CMC as low risk.

It's absolutely right, it is very important to buy or sell token at a very specific time where you could make a very good amount of profit from it. That's why your timing should be perfect to take advantage of the situation. Most Importantly, the thing is you have bought the token at a cheaper price and have to sell it higher prove to make it pretty fair for you.

   I think that if you truly believe in project you will hold their tone for years! I understand urge for profit, to buy
low and sell high, to make a good profit to buy again. But I don't like to speculate that way, I think I would lose
more with trading that I would make profit.
   For me every time is the right time for holding. One day when prices grows a lot, it will be a little difference when did you bought! If you choose right token or alt-coin that can grow a lot, 10k tokens will make you rich!

Nice advice you roll out here, having a workout timelime for any investment is the key to a profitable return. Knowing what you want and what you can give in really contributes greatly especially in the cryptocurrency market, it is not advisable to just buy and hodl tokens with any plan on when to sell off. Some tokens do lose value and liquidity over time and yet still keeps quite a steady price but you'll have a problem when trying to sell off due to the low volume. Knowing the right time to get in as well back out is the key to profitable crypto investment

Yes. You are absolutely correct. We have to watch our investments all the time. If ignored, we may lose certain investments from that project. Also the time when we buy the tokens matter. This hold may become for short period or long term.

The market is filled with shit coins and all the ICO and IEO projects are safe only to hold for the short term and you need to follow the market all the time as you never know when the market crashes or when the developers dump the coins and run away with the money, we have seen every kind of situation in the past three years and you need to careful if you are investing in new coins.

I think the most important thing in Hodling our coins for the long term is accuracy in choosing coins or tokens. Many tokens or coins are not viable for the long term due to many factors and one factor is the small value of the transaction and also the value of the market cap

That's for legit coin but long term hodl can't be applied for the crap coin because anytime it can be dumped into the zero value. that depends on how good coin that you have been holding it in your wallet.
long term hodl is not actually working for all kind of coins.

Yes, hold time is not that important. It is important that you choose the right project and that can raise the price, in addition you need to monitor it regularly because the price can pump and dump anytime.

Are you talking about the time threshold in holding tokens and such? We all knew about that but the hardest thing is how to get our timing right and how to make sure tokens match its proper timing? There is no reference to shed light on which and which and everyone replied on their own judgment.

Yes you're right about this, timing investment is really important but there are people who don't know and they just want to get in at anytime and make profit lol. Someone was asking me about cryptocurrency and saying that he wants to learn about it and invest. He was very much interested from the start but when the pandemic started and Bitcoin's price crashed from the $10,000 price and down to $3,800 he got scared and started to lose interest.

I tried to let him know that $3,800 was the right time to invest his money, but he was scared and I never bothered myself again. Eventually the price got up to $8,000 and that's when he came back to me and saying that he regrets not taking my advice. He then started asking if he should invest, I told him that's up to him to decide. Well he invested his money and luckily for him the price has managed to move to $9,000 plus.

Yeah it does not work that way anymore, Long Term Holding was preferable during the the times the cryptos were booming but in this recent times I don't see it working anymore, even in those new coins coming out. Many coins have reached their ATH early, then went the price down and never reached its new ATH or never recovered at all.

That's the problem here, because many people think that most altcoins have had early ATH that it may not happen again and that puts off these people from further investment. However, I think that now is the time to both buy in altcoins and Hodl for as long as possible as I expect that the crypto currency has yet reached its peak yet.

thats why i suggest everyone to use a technical analysis in at least daily Time Frame to know how to enter the market and exit the market in the right time
because sometimes we miss an opportunity to buy at low and to sell at high price if we only use a news or fundamental analys

In another ideology, the first thing you should focus is to know about the coin, project and its growth even before you buy it at all.
Second is to dyor and get into the token market at the right entry in bears.
Third, is to follow up dilligently to ensure you take profits.

You must makes sure buy price and profits price which best and what's timing right. Even if i was holding higher price a coin then i wouldn't agree sold out. Especially good coins can green market at anytime so be patient and want next market situation.

Timing methods is one of the good things we should have as an individual traders in cryptocurrency.
So, I suggest everyone that this is the right time now to buy altcoins in the market on which are low value
in the market and one of these are BET, UTK, NEM, Ag8, Pundix and KCS or Waves.

There's no timing that can be described as the best. What we should look out for is when to take profit. You can hodl for a short term and miss your profit point same with long term hodl. Every token hodl should be based on take profit point not the duration of hodl.

We can choose which token that we should hold in short or long period if time. Because every token need their own strategy in holding it. Of course every token has profit for us in it but we should be wise in using it.

Yeah, but we can find out things that are close to time about the information we get. for example like halving, ethereum 2.0, and others. it can make the price of a coin higher at a certain time, and buying it before it happens is the right time. however, only with information can we get that opportunity.

This is the reason why you need to study the roadmap and observe what the future prospect of the project that the token you are holding is backing. Unfortunately, most projects this days have derailed from what they speak about in their white paper and this might have negative impact on the token. If top tokens that are backed up by strong and holistic project are struggling, what do you expect from project that don't even have idea about the next phase of the development

This is always the trickiest thing to do, no one knows when to hold and when to sell, for everyone holding and selling times are completely different as everyone understands the market differently. There are people who make 1.2x or 2x on their investment and say that they won big time and on the other hand there are others who make 10x of their investment and say that they didn't make much.
So you should always have a target price in mind of a token that you are holding and when that price is reached then you should sell your holdings without being greedy.

Yes, as you said above is a good strategy for generating profits in crypto investment. if seen today there are many projects popping up and only a few are worth keeping in the long run. if I rely on the bull market, I'm not sure whether the price of coins will increase the same. it's better to sell when you see an opportunity.

Short-term and long-term investments are two different strategies. Someone who chooses long-term, who has good confidence about a project. When they think that this coin has future prospects, then they make long term investment in that coin. And in the case of short-term, hold less time to make a good profit buy depending on any rumors. You must pay close attention when holding any coin, because one coin is enough to rekt you.

Actually long-term and short-term holding its depends buying and profits options. At least i will not choose short time Investment because instead better trading for make profits in short time. So wish i can recommend if someone wants long-term investment then keep taking top altcoins because there have been good future.

I can say that I mostly agree with the topic of this thread, timing is the essence, especially when it comes to crypto or trading since both of these are still in their infantile stages and there's a lot more progress to be made. So our crypto buying choices now can determine our future - at least for those long-term investors anyway.

It comes to some instances that the longer we hold the harder it grows. Besides, holding those shitcoins in a whole life won't make our chance to have gained from them as we couldn't expect them to grow either. The reality is might harsh and holding for many years won't it work so great as we are living this kind of market. That is why I'd never think that way also as many other say HOLD HOLD and HOLD. But instead, taking the opportunity to every up (selling) and down (buying) will make you more profitable than HOLDing.

For BTC then yes for long term hold but for other coins? Timing is indeed everything because if you dont able to sell off on the right time when a coin pumped then that would leave you regretting and might not able to see
an another opportunity like that for you to sell off which would really give out that lifetime regret. hehe. For bitcoin then long term holds is applicable but if we do deal with alts then we should sell of as long we are on greens or gains and secure out our capital and re-roll profits on making the same step.Holding might work but most of the time i do make active trades because profit flow is much more fast than you do just simply sit back and relax.

True... You can always chose to hodl your tokens only when the time is right.. You can't expect to have the same results with someone who has chosen the correct time to hold their assets. If after a coin or token dumps, you can always expect more people to buy back in and hold for some appreciation. Same thing applies when there is a price appreciation during holding. You can only chose to share what's permitted.

It cannot be generalized. It really depends on the quality of the project and the tendency of each person. Besides the crypto world is full of surprises. We must always monitor the progress of the project. Every project development, for example, mainnet launch, mainnet upgrade, staking system, etc. will bring influence, can be big or small. By continuing to monitor the progress of this project, we can determine the right timing.

HODL is not Hodl then forget, it apply to Bitcoin back then where I have seen people forgetting that they have Bitcoin and only find out  later when the price is good, you have to follow the price and the development of the project, especially if it's a new coin, but also apply to old coins as well, the market is very volatile, every day the market offer a new scenario, so better always on the look for any changes.

yes, investing must be observant and do not forget to monitor your portfolio assets every time, at least so that you do not lose the opportunity to sell.

What you gave said is right. But truly FOMO always get the better of us till we rekt. When coins are going up people are more likely to buy then a dumped coin. I don't know why it's always so.

Hodling an altcoin for a long time is a tale of the past most of the investors nowadays jump to ICO from ICO, coins that are worth hodling is BTC and ETH that's all in my opinion. token devalue fast every time BTC drops.

But do you know that you can have the same results if you refuse to hodl assets at the right time ?

Now when is the right time ? the time to sell in profit is a right time and you can only figure it out after yo have enough facts and figures and ensure that you are always on point regarding projects rumors and  news.

Exactly, every time Bitcoin falls, altcoins bleed severely. Sometimes I see altcoins lose 60-70% in just one day, if we want to hold long term, we should choose Bitcoin and ETH. Those will be the 2 safest projects in this market

indeed it needs to be done to reduce risk, but look at the analysis first, if indeed your token cannot rise and dominate bearish, then it's better to sell, but if you can still hope not to sell, HOLD for a long time is not a problem

Just invest that has good project that can increase in the long run or pick in the top coinmarketcap to invest then hold your coin for long until the bull market occur.

for old projects maybe we can see growth and platform travel in the market. but for new projects, everything is still in planning. we will not know what will happen in the future. we can judge good but everything can end badly for us.

if we want to make big money, sometimes we have to take risks and trust the companies when they have nothing. You invest smart and do not invest all your money in such projects. And some of your investments will bring you just a huge profit

Right mate. There are a few currency, those can be hold for long term like btc,eth,ltc. But most of currency has some own rules. Rules about when to hold & when not to. Some of them are for short-term, some are long. So if anyone don't obey the rules, then he have to face big loss. So timing is important

Now it makes no sense to just buy LTC and hold it for a long time. the market is changing so fast that even LTC can simply die and your money will turn into 0. Now it’s best to use altcoins as a medium-term investment and trade

I do always believe that investment do really need some sort of luck for you to be hella of a rich guy when a certain project booms up or able to
fly with colors.Yes, it do really needs some extra levels of risk and we do take for example for those people who believe on bitcoin when it do
just starting up where it do start without any value but it did able to have as years pass by and even those early adopters didnt even expect
for that thing to happen but they do saw its potential when it do just starting up.We can apply this one into any project but the main issue
here that chances on getting the right one is really hard.

A lot of people thinks that a long term will definitely make their pockets full in the future with the coins they got from less popular projects, but in reality those coins will worth nearly zero in the future. To be honest, I was one of those bounty hunters who enjoy swimming in a huge prize pool for bounty campaigns, around 1 to 2 years that was my main source of income here in the forum but things get dull when scammers entered the scene and they started making their own scam projects where most of people fell into. Long term holding is beneficial, don't get it wrong but it is only effective for coins like bitcoin, ethereum and others whose name is on the top rankings.

Yes, I agree with you, as per the coin and they're potential you have to hold it as period of time. BTC, ETH and BNB would be great coins for long term hold. Also you can hold the other alts as per your choice or priorities but you just don't have to hold them for the very long term because sometimes the market situation gets worsen so you can't hold it long enough if you want to play safe always sell it when you got a chance to make a profit before looking for holding it much more time.

Yes I go with this point I think in today's life everybody want to make money faster. When you make an investment on a project then if you don't give some times to go over your value then how can you get benefitted.  I saw a lower quality project has also moved price so why not special project. Every big project hold 3 months to 6 months you will definitely see the movement in price. Holding token are very important because holding means your safe tomorrow. Thats all from here.

It needs to get in everyones head that crypto trading is not different than every other kind of trading. Is not a get-rich-quick scheme nor is it the ultimate solution for all our financial problems. It´s another asset class and needs research and due dilligence when trading. Everyone who every hodled a shitcoin till it´s rock bottom learned the hard way. At the stock markets, the blue chips are the safest, Bitcoin and Ethereum and a few others are crypto blue chips

Yes, in crypto Bitcoin and Ethereum and some of the other top 10 Altcoins are the safest options for trading, but that does not mean we avoid risk, because each trade still has risks even though we choose the safest.

Yeah it's depends on perfect timing & also on you that "how perfectly you can use that oppourtunity". I think before hodl anything, we should have proper idea about that currency. And should select some good currency for hold cause It's hard to predict about which one is going to get successful or fail in near future.

If you have no strategy when investing, then I believe you will lose, whether you invest in bitcoin or the top altcoins in this market. Must have trading experience to be able to minimize risks in this market

Thats right and its not easy as it seems. However in order to earn here we need to do the basic thing before investing and that is to study first how crypto investment and market works. Its a must to understand these things to know the possible consequences if ever you hold a good coin or a shitcoins. So yes ifyou're looking for safest crypto to invest then choose bitcoin and eth as these coins are already proven to be profitable for long period holding.

That's right, we need to set a reasonable goal and cut loss in time when investing. If we don't follow these rules, we will surely fail

it might fail, but there is another possibility that it could be luckier because of luck. I guess we've all only speculated about investing in assets and not estimating the time limit for saving them. In the past, I bought ethereum and bitcoin when the 2018 dump occurred. I didn't think about selling it when, but after I looked at current prices without even looking at market developments I speculated that I could benefit.

More so on new coins you need to follow all the coins that you are going to hodl, the worst that can happen to you is not getting an update and just following the price, some people are missing the fork or swap because they prefer the price only, even Bitcoin has the timing to hodl, it's not always hodl, you also need to sell if the market is crashing.

You said it all. Perhaps we should also hodl some particular tokens and not all especially new coins that people don't have full information on should be avoided totally. Anything off from num 1-10 ratings on coinmarketcap and Coingecko I won't invest. If I do, it must be timed.

if you bought ETH after a strong fall, then you are very lucky, but many people bought at the beginning of 2018 and still their portfolio brings them very big losses. I know a lot of people who bought ETH for 800-900 dollars.

We cannot blame them mate because some of them has only limited funds and expecting at least profit for a certain time and this is the problem about other investors,because our strategy is different from others.

Timing is perfect but the question is can we find this?not all of us has this timing or instinct where and when to buy.

Nope i totally disagree on this,because this is depend in which currency we are holding,like Bitcoin do you think there will be losses holding this if you can afford to wait?

HODL is one strategy and DOA (dollar-cost-average) is the second strategy. When you HODL, you simply hold your coins no matter what is current market sentiment. DOA is a strategy for buying, you for example decide to invest 100USD a month and you do not care for which price you buy. At the end this both strategies could be very profitable in long term because you are not affected by your emotions.

Strategy matters a lot but we also need our luck to be able to make a profit from the market. The someone has used the wrong strategy and they can end into the loss too. The top coins decrease the chance for us to get the loss but I agree with you about the trading experience is really important.

I can summary your post in short to help beginners and newbies. Good coin = long term hodl, don't sell even if it has a tiny profit at the time or a small decline in price. Shit coin = short term hodl, sell right away if you could see a profit, cut loss if it going to decline.

It is like same that you want people to take care of support and resistance levels or what we can say is to watchout for peaks and reversals so it is always good time to sell near peaks when everyone else is greedy and it is good to enter from dip or support levels when others are in panic.

I can relate with this very well. I have heard many people saying they can't hodl bounty or ICO tokens longer than they are listed. I have also been a survival of this tokens becoming worthless in my wallet because I relied for the coin to bull beyond the pump at that time. Because of such experience like you had, I have discouraged myself from hodling unreasonable time, I instead sell and wait for low and buy again. I trade it that way.

The solution is if projects would be committed to introduce use case tokens.

That's right. I have fallen a victim to this when i hodl a token for very too long. I ended up losing huge amount of money. It's very important to have your targets when holding any cryptocurrency coin because no coin has ever stayed up forever. So set your targets and sell when your target is achieved.

If you have a y ideas regarding to your assets it will turned to this mistake, you need to set up a good position and wait till your target being hit.

You have to study each project to invest your money, without any knowledge in regards to the plan of the developers your money is not safe, expect the fluctuations and anticipate so you won't lose your invested money.

in a market situation like now, we must be clever in seeing opportunities that exist, if the investment is more profitable in the short term then we do not need to wait for a long time to sell altcoin that we have.

the most important thing in investing is when you can manage your own capital and coin investment. as long as you hold a potential coin then you will most likely not experience a loss. for example BTC or some other top altcoin such as BNB, ETH or EOS. I think you will get a good profit someday when the bull market comes.

This is the perfect post for greedy people. I know we all made the same mistakes, but you shouldn't do it again. For a long time holding tokens, I lost some money. Now average researchers can select any good coin to buy but can't decide the right time to sell. Problem is only a few coins have the right time, others all top coins are doing the same at a time up and at a time down.

That's true and sell all of our portfolios when it has been giving us decent profit. So many experienced traders were always taking the opportunity whatever the time frame that has already happened before.
As long as we get profit and we must go out of the market.

In my opinion, crypto market is very unpredictable so I guess if you have a right timing to hodl your tokens and have patience for waiting, you can earn a good profit from it but knowledge of the market is also important so that you can analyze the situation really fast.

You are right timing is very important there is such a thing as short term profit, and there's always a time to sell your coin only to buy it again at the right time. if you are just going to hodl your token and do not mind what's happening on its price you can lose a lot of opportunities to make a profit, or you will end losing a lot if the token you are hodling losses it's value in the market.

Such plans are sometimes not made by traders. too cool with the flow of trade makes us forget to get out of the market and secure the money that has been obtained. like gambling, it makes us feel unsatisfied.

Timing is good but we dont know how exact time to buy and sell, i mean we just only can predict it not more.
Some news maybe can help our prediction about the price.

The best time to buy altcoins is when they dump in value but it's better to go for top altcoins so you can easily recover if price rise a little bit, BNB OKC and NEO are examples of good altcoins can recovers real quick

Every trader who buy or earn cryptocurrencies from any method is required to hold those coin for some times otherwise they don't get big profits.after purchasing in a dump position you should believe in the altocoin that if I hold for 2 to 4 month price is definitely going to be different. So holding the coin for a certain period is very important.

I just think that we have the wrong time to hold assets, then what happens is, we will wait for a very long time. honestly I also often do that. even now, I thought I was holding it at the right time, but for almost 2 years I was holding assets, but the potential for the increase was not yet seen.

For me, timing to hodl altcoins is a good matter however what is important for me, i think it is the progress of the token, about the good development that brings it a good tolen value in the long run, and by that the hodl could be worth it.

Yes i completely agree timings is very important if we hold token for long it will become nothing example most of my holding became nothing by thinking market will recover day passes nothing happens most of my holdings became nothing . The most anticipated projects became nothing .

If you want to hold tokens then you must create time to follow the projects progress.. I have many worthless token in my wallet simply because once I realize the price is not good,i will leave it and face another project.best advice is follow the token u are holding

In the current conditions, in my opinion, short-term investment is more profitable than long-term investment because the development of the crypto market today is relatively chaotic during the world experiencing a COVID-19 pandemic.

It caused by short term gives the more chance for us to take the profit from the market rather than long term. So many times long term holders have been losing their money and the short term holders always make money from the market. It's better to choose short term rather than long term hold.

of course, long-term trading cannot guarantee profit because no one knows how the price of cryptocurrency moves in the future, the price may collapse like it is at the moment, imagine when some people enter cryptocurrency in 2017 and see cryptocurrency prices in the year This is very sad.

I kinda understand what you want to say. There should be a balance between the time of holding cryptocurrency. Holder groups that root for either long term or short term usually only take results that justify their thinking. They failed to realize the timing is the most important than black and while holding style like that.

timing for hold is necessary, but if you buy it when the price is in support I think holding for the long term is not a problem,
I have hold for 1 month and got a profit of $ 300, if you believe it, Hold is okay!

It is true but not for every altcoin and every situation. If you trade on altcoin which is not completely trusted, then it is better to sell with some loss. In this case, you can trade for a short time. You also need to note the market situation when you want to Hold. If you think that the market will go up again after going down a bit, then you can hold it and wait for profit. Moreover, if the market situation is likely to decline, it can be saved by purchasing it immediately after receiving the market price decrease. But if there is no possibility of a big market decline, it is better to hold for a while. So for trustable cryptocurrency, Timing to hold token is very important because they recover their price after some time.

Tokens are very difficult to hold for long periods of time.  my experience is the longer tokens are stored the value decreases and can be lost, to make long term investments it's better to choose altcoins which is already popular it can reduce the risk

I prefer coins that are already popular such as BTC, ETH, BCH, and others in long-term investments because my bond is the safest point in this type of investment. As for new coins, I prefer to make short-term investments, because in my opinion, it is too risky if I have to do long-term.

Hodling has its advantages and disadvantages and one must learn to balance the two. Before holding any asset, you must be completely certain about the long term goals of such a project and must be ready to follow up on updates and developments from such a project to avoid missing out on important details. If the project isn't serious or doesn't appear like they have a future, it is better to sell off and move on to avoid being left with worthless tokens. This is why doing your research is always an important factor.

The hardest thing, in my opinion, is which token to hold, most of the tokens we have on the market are now are just garbage, only a small number of tokens have a real purpose and is good to hold for the future, so I strongly recommend to look and study carefully the tokens before you start buying and holding it.

We can tell the situation about most of the coin prices in the market. Difference types of coins always exist in cryptocurrency. Bitcoin halving will change the marketcap of many altcoins. Now there is only one problem left for a long time hold which is token swap to own coin, you shouldn't miss it.

This time should limit long-term investment because every coin will collapse if the value of Bitcoin drops. In my opinion, you should invest in only a few months, and if there is no profit, it is best to leave the project early because you will definitely not be able to make a profit. Also, investors are usually only interested in new coins, and after having made a profit there, they will tend to sell more.

You're right about that. Choosing a specific token nowadays is very hard as most of them are crap. Very rare that you can encounter a valuable token. Their usual trend is going down and if you find a token which has an upward trend, you need to take a closer look at that project. There's no good or bad timing to hodl tokens. If the token has no real use case, there's only one end to that. They disappear in the market after the dev get their cash.

many people who make long-term investments are disappointed because they have waited so long but the price of coins has not gone up, so, for now, short-term investments are more profitable in my opinion, even though the profit we get is relatively small.

There are two types to hold the tokens for a time being. Short time and long term are the two types. Short term is for those who don't want to wait more and who have well planned analysis brain and predict the good one always. Long term I suggest mostly because of the market system. Long term is appreciated to make more profit after a certain period and always need to set your mind which you want to do and how much time you can spend.

If you want to hold the tokens for long term than you should only hold the top 20 or top 30 tokens listed at coinmarketcap. There is a risk of holding the tokens which are new because you never know that their project may be failed in future.
Many new coins are made and hype is created so that thier prices reach very high. Just sell such coins at the right time and do not wait longer.

Everyone wants the most profit when investing. And same as holding your coins. Everything has a timing you just need to find that. For example if the token you want to hold is in a low price and in their road map they will release their app which has a lot of partners and has a decent promotional team. This will result of the token skyrocket and you didn't missed it. That's the importance of researching before investing. It will give you information about the project and also learn when will their peak on the market will happen.

What you mean here is when we feel the price will no longer rise in the future, we gonna sold our token as soon as possible. Well, everyone is doing that here except those who fell to the scammer's trap where they are outdated with the strategies and still hold those token that no longer developed by their owners. On the other hand, investors mostly hold tokens that has some clear road map and vision in the future. where most of this kind of token had become successful after they've launched their pre-sales and the only things that matter after that are the developments of their project if they continually update it from time to time.

usually 7 days to 4 weeks, if you want to hold, make sure the coins are in accordance with the analysis,
and make sure you have stop lose, so that your capital does not run out

it is important but it will be difficult, we will not always be able to sell at the most appropriate time.
at least you don't miss the news or sell when the price goes down.
most importantly the value of your assets increases.
no need to wait long if the timing is right you can benefit in a short time.

We must choose the best time for investing, it doesn't matter you prefer for long-term investing or short term investing. It depends on your ability about looking for the best project for investing in. If you can do it at the right time, you will get success, on the contrary, you will blame yourself or the project. You must also learn to take some risks while investing, that is why there are so many differences between long-term investing and short term investing. You must prefer it from the project to another project. Some project is good for short-term, some of them good for the long-term. If you can get the right choice, it will be worth holding it.

How long do you want to keep setting stop-loss for a new token that has just been listed on exchnage? It is most times better to monitor it, since it is still fresh in the system. In fact, trading it that way can give you the opportunity to make more profits than just setting a stop-loss.
The time you also gave, in my opinion, is very short. A coin that behaves well on exchnage, usually have an incubation period, a time that it is being prepared For a surge or upward movement.

It should not be always 7 days - 4 weeks sometimes it takes a few months to get a big bullrun and it can also be considered as a short term too. Stop loss is a must caused by it will be preventing us to loss our money instantly caused by the dump. I think whatever the timeframe as long as we get profit and we should moving out from the market to get another position to re-enter again.

True people arguing about investment and how they hold it but the truth is some are have no patience to hold for a long time they want to make income instant. Some no patience and some have. It's been to hard to invest and hold the token for a long time because you don't even know if that token become expensive or not. Investment is real risk but you can invest only a little not all your money.

It's hard to invest especially if you are not sure with the coins you want to invest and your money is not that big to invest. But if you can buy a potential coin with its dip price and hold for a long time, it might give you good profits. Make sure to invest in bitcoin or ethereum even if you just invest just a little amount because definitely, you won't get disappointed with the outcome.

for me long-term or short-term investment, depending on how the project works, I prefer altcoin to be the top 10 for long-term investment because it has great potential, depending on the situation and conditions for how long I will hold it,
that in my opinion

The right answer is: it depends. There is not a right way of investment for tokens, some are good for long term investment and other for short term.
Firstly it depends from the timing when you are invest, bull market or bear market, seconly about the project and if it's the first one in this kind of project or only a copy and paste of old projects, thirdly you need to be lucky!

I have second thoughts on holding coins, there are coins worth holding and there are coins that's created for short term holding, you can hodl coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum but you should have second thought holding coins that are just a year old, it will put you in trouble because these kinds of coins lack stability.

Absolutely true, if you have good knowledge about the crypto then you must know when is a good time to hold the token or when to sell. Due to your great instinct ability, you would earn a good amount of money through it.

In some other points you are right. Sometimes there are token even their price was not that impressive in the market.
There was a time that all of a sudden the value got dumped at once in the market. This was happened many times in
different exchange platform. I've seen honestly speaking in some of the platform exchange like in kucoin, Bittrex, Bibox and more.

I don't think timing works for all coins, why? the reason is, a coin like Bitcoin hardly needs timing because it is a very good coin which when bought and held gives a reasonable reward irrespective of when the buying took place. Also, I think Ethereum falls into the same case with Bitcoin because everyone has seen its valuable nature till date. However, there are still coins or tokens which I believe that, timing is very important and these coins are mostly new altcoins. There have been new altcoins which has never maintained a good price range thus for this types, the time of buying and knowing when to sell is very important.

Timing is a part but the most important part is the quality of the token, like you said, there will be pump and dump times and while taking profits and buying back will net you good rewards or more quantities of the tokens, some altcoins are just better for long term and most are bad for long term

You have a  much better anticipation once you really understand how the market works, that's an advantage to everyone
who do the proper homework.


Skills coming from your good knowledge paid you decent benefits, keep yourself updated there are always a new trend
that you need to learn.

To my own understanding, when you hodl a token matters alot if you are to receive any profits at all.
You need to hodl tokens prior to when the project is expecting a positive developmental or product news which could spark a orice uproar and also you should buy when others panic

money will come automatically when we know how it works. I've heard that we should take the time to research 70%, and trade 20%, and 10% for luck.

I think that on the cryptocurrency market it takes more luck than 10 percent))) I think that you can allocate up to 30 percent for luck because it also helps to choose the right projects for analysis

that is your first reason to always monitor the coins you invest in or update if you must. because not all coins will survive in the market or be profitable for future investments except only BTC. BTC will always dominate the crypto market so if you want to invest safely then prioritize with BTC first.

Yes, that is absolutely right luck plays an important role in this world, sometimes your research can be useless for finding any good project. No doubt to make some research about the project that you want to invest in is also important. But mostly you should have the luck to get success. Maybe I'm wrong, however, l think so that is right. Most of your success depends on luck, if you are enough lucky and made something good choice, you can get success.

Yup, that's why I don't support the idea that every time is a good time to be buying cryptocurrency. I do see some threads where people ask when is the best time to start buying tokens/coins and some forum members would tell them that they can buy at any time as long as they have the money. I don't support that idea, for me it's totally wrong.

You can't just buy cryptocurrency at any time, what if you buy when that token has reached the highest price and it starts crashing after you bought it? It's best to look into that token and understand where it's really moving to and with some good strategies you can then make up your mind whether you are to be buying it or not.

When you take into account the decent coins that are already established then you can trust them for the long term but you need to follow the development team because you never know what happens as there were several projects in the past where the team members ran away with the coins and dumping everything and ruining the project but the token projects are the riskiest to hold for the long term.

The numbers you're rolling on here don't surprise me that much. What I'd say though is that money still doesn't come automatically or directly as its very difficult to disseminate the large amount of information regarding market changes. The importance of this is shown in the familiar stock market exchange where the only job of a bunch of people is to analysis this insurmountable amount of data. Just something to keep in mind ;)

There are times that altcoin only have good value now but later it lost even it has good paper. You can put your trust on investing with the popular one than taking the risk on the new one. If you have coins and have value now, do not think too much and wait that much, make profit when it still have a value. And hold on coin that take a long term value on the market.

The market is hard to predict now, so research can sometimes lead to mistakes and make you lose. And I agree with you, in this market we need a little luck to be able to choose the right altcoin and the right time

Timing to hold the coin is the key to success in crypto industry.But there is something more.If you hold a coin which has no future and no real project then it will bring you disaster sooner or later if you hold or not doesn’t matter.

So before holding any coin for long time or short time you have to study about the project, their team, their development and their partnership etc.Then if you to study about chart and some factor that can dump the price of your coin.

So before holding any coin you have to choose proper coin.But in crypto sometimes prediction doesn’t work.     

Timing to buy token is more important to me, there is no better thing I'm crypto than buying top coins at cheaper price, all those who took advantage of Bitcoin at 3700$ are already in huge profits right now without having to wait for bullrun

Yes you are correct. The token holder must study before token hold so that he can realize which is good time for hold a token or sell. Every coin are not the same and holder must be clarify which will be hold for short time and which will be long time. Otherwise if he mistake investment will gone away. So be careful.

thanks.

Knowing the proper time to buy and sell us very important when it comes to cryptocurrency, buying a wrong coin can result to losing all hard earn fund, and not knowing the best time to sell off can be very dangerous aswell. So to be sincere, timing to hold and buy is very important.

Yes, thats true. I have missed some big opportunity for not holding my token a little bit. If I hold that token a little longer I could have gained 5 times more profit than I got. Actually crypto is a very unpredictable place and you will never know when it is the right time to make the next move. The market sometimes moves without any actual reason.

That 10% luck is so true, there is really no way you could make a profit if you never really get lucky, there are so many things that could go wrong in bitcoin business. I have personally seen an ICO owner die right during investment process, the team notified everyone and they said they will continue with the project but everyone basically was done with it at that moment and they just took the money and couldn't do anything, not that they scammed people but without the owner there was nothing to be done.

At the end of the day I would say that 10% changes everything. However, 70% is still doing your research, it is between checking the team to roadmap to whitepaper to everything else, you need to be aware of where you are putting your money to the smallest detail.

But when the bitcoin price fell to $ 3700, many feared that it would continue to go below $ 1,000 and collapse. I believe that there won't be too many buyers at this price because their psychology does not allow it

When Bitcoin returned to $3700 in March, almost everyone lost confidence in this market, so there will certainly be very few investors buying at that price. In my opinion, it is the only opportunity for you to buy at a low price because, after that time, the whole market continuously has an improvement in price. I also felt very nervous during that period of time but still just sat still because I was waiting at $1,000

Agree with you, that's why bitcoin goes up to $ 9000 at the moment. A lot of people lost faith in the market when it collapsed in March, and soon the price went up rapidly and made many people regret.

you may not know 100 percent for sure, but if you do the right analysis of the project and constantly monitor its development, you can reduce the risk that you will lose money or earn little when you are selling your tokens/coins. That's why you need to constantly monitor the development

if you choose a long-term investment I think it does not matter and it does not require time for you to hold,
if you are satisfied with your investment then sell,

For long-term investment, you need to monitor it on a regular basis and set a reasonable goal. If you hold altcoin and don't care about it, your investment will probably disappear anytime because altcoin can easily collapse and become a scam.

It's not really the thing is when it comes in holding or trading especially when you're doing it in altcoins. The time to hold is very important you can't just go and buy or invest in altcoins when the market price is still at a high point. Most of the time when it comes to altcoins I don't recommend investing especially for long term investment because a lot of altcoins in the market don't really give profit because there are so many altcoins in the market where the demand is not their anymore. The best thing to do is do a lot of research first before investing in altcoins in the market because for sure altcoins are not a good choice for a long term investment. Also, you could just stick in popular altcoins where it already has the demand or go with bitcoin for long term investment.

Hey. What I would say here - nothing depends on one components only. What basically makes sense - complex approach towards token and solution analysis. And I am sure that only such strategy leads to right decisions, while choosing the token

Afternoon. You know, I would definitely agree with you on your statement. What is important as well - the practical value. Kinda you must be having understanding of why you are using the platform, how it simplifies your life and else

This sounds rational. I am adding value, roadmap, team experience and milestones - formula for a great platform. By the way, are you having any that fully meet your requirements? Many such?

No, not many. Probably just 1 truly advanced solution now. Called Centric token. Basically, they are coming with 2 tokens. Centric is a web 3.0-based payment network composed of two digital tokens that promote stability, incentivize structure for early adopters, and safely store value. The exchange between the two tokens is governed by a decentralized smart contract and a self-regulating protocol. But you should better Google them to check out more on what they are bringing

That from your words sounds unique and ultimate, will have a look

I believe this is something you can work upon, you should not necessarily have second thoughts when you are trading, hodling or investing. You should a peculiar motive towards your actions or reactions to different crypto currencyb token, even if it means hodling the bags alone.

Many altcoins are bad for long time holding, if I have to invest in altcoins I will choose from top 20 on coinmarketcap, as for new altcoins I will prefer to hold for a very short time only

Not only timing but value of the project and how serious such a project is. To confidently hold a project token, you must confirm that such a project is worth holding. He convinced about the seriousness of the project as well as the commitment shown by the team and developers, how sincere they are and the kind of partnerships they are involved with. Also, confirm if they are indeed serious about such a project or just looking for a way of grabbing cash and running a way. If that has been confirmed, you can then hold such a token and expect better gains in the future.

Much better to deal with known and progressive alts if you are going to take it for long term
investment, chance is much higher to succeed.


If you see the opportunities, it's best to liquidate while you still got the chance to earn.

it is not everyone that have the time to monitor token activites. most times we are carried away with other activities when token pumped or dumped. it is advisable use crypto portfolios with list of your assets. it will give you better chances of following up with your favorite tokens and when to sell. timing is paramount but can we maintain and follow up.

There can be no single answer to this question. It depends on the specific project and the specific cryptocurrency. The long-term storage of cryptocurrency in many cases does not justify itself based on its high price volatility. In many respects, the decision depends on the availability of free time that can be devoted to cryptocurrency and knowledge of this market. However, in any case, the solution is somewhere in between. From all sides it will be better if you use at least large price rises and falls of our cryptocurrency and in these cases sell during periods of growth and buy during periods of falls.

In a simple nutshell, i could say that all altcoins are bad for long time hodling, but it is just wrong; Long term hodling is not just for buy and sell; but first do your own research, find reasons to invest, then you can buy and hodl until its time to get profits when you sell. This is why the timings are whats core.

Hodling is a very sensitive part of Bitcoin trading, some coin does not even require hodling at all to get the best of it. Once you receive them they are the best at that moment. There are some coin I have nothing else to do than to hodl and see if it will make good value at the next bull run because I have overhodl them till they are making no Reasonable value again, the main purpose of hodling is known to everyone.

Yes, the timing is very important, but the problem is when you trap in a coin which leads to downtrend all year and there is no value? are you going to hold still? It is not easy to hold or sell a coin especially when that coin has a huge potential in the market. I think many of us have been in that situation buying the hype and forgetting the risk of that

I agree with you, the difficult part is to find out that time... or as find out your entry points and your targets so that you take the best possibe advantage of the trade... some people know that almost instinctively, unfortunately I am among those who are always on the wrong side of the fence :)

That's true sir. But choosing perfect tokens also important. Sometimes people choose wrong currency & they experienced loss even they have good knowledge. And sometimes people hodl their tokens when they should sold them. Actually timing is important as you told

It really depends on whether you are in it for the long term or trying to make a quick buck. If you really believe in the coin and the project then perhaps take out the initial investment and stay in it for the long term.

A good time to invest always appears at any time and if you have experience when investing then you will have to know what to do next. I always know how to make a profit from this market and often choose short-term trading to make a profit. In general, each person will have their own strengths when investing and you should only invest when you feel the market has signs of price increase in the next few days.

I have to agree with this. I have done a huge mistake recently. I had one token with a balance of 5k. When I have purchased the token, price was below $0.02 and I did not keep track of this coin for a long time expecting that it will never shine. But couple of months ago, there was an ATH of $2+ and unlucky me could not sell. Now the price has been decreased a lot. My advise to each member- never give up. If you have a trashcoin, make sure you keep up to date with information. Anytime it may get pumped.

Yes i agree on that the proper timing to hodl is very important specially if you invested into crypto. It is all because the price is always moving and it is high on volatility. If we dont have a proper timing on our cypto investment we maybe need to wait for a very long time for us to earn ,While if we have the timing we can maybe earn in a short period of time, that is why i believe that timing is very important specially on investing.

It's easier said than done, you think you can always get this right? You will need to be able to read the project team mind to know what's coming, I'm not buying this, the best way to make profit in crypto is buying low and selling high, if you are talking about new altcoins, after doing research the rest is base of analysing and luck

Yes, it’s very important to determine the right time where you can sell or hold your tokens. I prefer to sell those tokens that are not highly potential tokens and hold for a while the highly potential coins. I suggest selling the new tokens that are being rewarded to us in bounty campaigns then exchange to tokens that are already present in the market. I remember when the time that altcoins are very popular and joining bounty campaigns are much demanded. I sold the token after it rewarded to us without analyzing the possibility of the its value. After I sold it, it quickly 5x its value and it should be my highest earning so far. In that point, I realize that holding tokens is very important and the right timing before selling it.

It won't matter if the coin you invested on has good utility because it will always bring you profit as time goes on, you only have to be worried if the coin is a pump and dump project, abstain from investing on coins when they are pumping higher, always take advantage of red market, that's all I can share

So tell me, how exactly does one know time to hodl a token? And how have you been figuring out yours? Do you wanna share?
I really don't get it why people just throw motivational talks out of the space.

Timing is always an important aspect of trading. When you enter a trade you should always have a clear target set and how much time you are going to give the coin to reach the target because something if you don't set target or time-period then you might get greedy and lose the profit that you earned along the way. 

That's true and those who have been holding their coins for long term have been putting their trust on such token. The different thing will happen when we have seen our coin have been going to the moon and we wanna try to take some profit and then buy at the bottom price again.

Timing to hold the token depends on its fundamental and technical analysis. Your targets should be flexible and quickly change with the situation. Sometime you have to compromise and sell the coins before reaching the desired target to safe yourself from the loss. Other times, you may wait a bit longer to multiply your profits. If you have experience in trading, you can earn much better.

That's right. Always try to keep looking into real projects not the shit ones if anyone's willing to hodl it for long time. But it's sometime better to trade for short time to make a quick bucks. Besides, try to figer out when the alt season will start and keep hodling whatever cryptos anyone want for that season, imo.

There is no timing in holding because holding means you are investing for long term, therefore, you can buy anytime as it's expected that the market will grow in the long run, hence the price of our investments will also rise, provided we choose the right coins to invest.

As I said, choosing the right coin is very important, even if let's say you buy bitcoin or ETH now, the price is already high but if you are willing to hold at least 10 years, I'm pretty sure the market would have a significant improvement that time and you'll be able to sell at a profit.

Timing is only necessary for short term investment.

I have learned the hardest way in holding tokens either from bounty or what.
I experienced worst like selling it too soon then tomorrow it will pump.
But it is still an easy money right

Timing is very important in this space. Time to hold, time to buy , time to sell, time to cut loses and move on. Anyone who is really an Investor will have to keep up with all these so as not to be rekt. And also not to be greedy. Sometimes you can get the timing right, but greed wi make you lose what you have gained.

As long as your reward will be worth with your effort and that's not a big problem. I have experienced the same thing like you so many times but we can't even sure whether our token will go to the moon or not. That will be going back to the how often we are watching the market.

I believe that OP means  "Semi Long Term" investing mate in which there must be right timing whenever we invest because some coins are just  moving Ups and Downs monthly or every other month so Timing is really in need.

Well thats what also i said above depends on what kind of investments we need here,But yeah ETH is one best investment tools if you are willing to HODL.
Short or semi long term i guess.

I totally agree, there are times when you need to sell the same tokens soon after buying tokens, because the price can simply drop to zero, and there are times when you need to hold for several years to get the maximum profit, but its also hard to predict when to sell tokens.

Not every crypto will grow even in the long term hold so timing is a must have skills. Knowing when you should buy and sell is always the most important part when dealing with crypto. You don't need a keen eye to pick a good project or a bad project. I saw a few lucky traders pull a successful trade even for bad crypto if they know how to play their card right.

when you are not doing DYOR properly and you will be ended into the lost caused by you can't sell your token at a higher price. This is usually happening with the bounty hunters and I have seen the similar case like you so many times. The hunters were complaining they have sold their stash at the bottom price.

A good reason why I mixed both long term and short term hodl for my coin and token. To do this I have to keep track of the development's news to know if there any event oncoming and readjust my hodl plan. Just is the same as you said timing.

So many people have been experiencing the same thing like you and you are not the only one but I was also getting the same experience like when I was holding it and the price was dumping so hard but when I have sold it and it was getting a pump. Is there something wrong with the market? I thought there is.

Just sell in the bull trend and go out and it's more than enough.

when you want to hold a cryptocurrency then I suggest you to save assets in the form of cryptocurrency that have limited supply and have high demand such as bitcoin because so far that can provide high prices like what happened to bitcoin is because bitcoin can be used for all kinds of transactions throughout the world and can be said that bitcoin has high demand and is suitable for long-term investment.

true, timing for hold is a must, if not possible it will happen like me,
because i have been holding NXT since 2018, and until now the price has dropped 99%, this sad for me

With the market going up or down any moment, being a short term or long term holders bring back not as much profit compare to a trader who has a timing right, buy and sell when he sees a profit. When market in turmoil time, you need to be reactive with it.

Timing got first priority in cryptocurrency because you're time to hold can decide whether you make a profit or loss. That's why you always have to analyze the chart and check the momentum of the token to understand what will be next move of it to decide whether to hold it or sell it. If you are good at timing then you wouldn't get suffer from the loss.   

There are coins worth holding like BTC and ETH and there are coins good only for trading like XRP or EOS.

 I wouldn't hold coins that I don't trust and don't believe they can achieve anything in the long run.

To be honest most coins are crap not even worth trading.

Once it happened with majority of the tokens. During the year 2017-2018 the bull trend of the entire cryptocurrency made the tokens pump high in value. We can't expect such scenario to happen further. During that time it happened unexpected, now things have changed, the market has widened. People were expecting good out of the tokens, only the hope will be remaining until the end if we haven't chosen the right tokens.

Probably tokens is not the best choice for the beginners. This because of thousands of them in the market and one can only have 5-10 percent of chance to get a good crypto in the market. This is why it advisable to stick on those altcoins or bitcoin directly when it comes to investment. Due to high risk of this kind of investment then we should tend to find the most suitable crypto in the market. My choice were bitcoin and ethereum as others are saying that ethereum has been upgrading its system and there is a high chance that it could get hype.

Theres no timing, depends on the execution of plans from the team behind a project. Lots of failed project with promising ideas, you need to diversify and set a goal when to sell. If you want to hodl some coins stick on top 10 coins.

Well, it's a matter of time. when you hold back without any information, you can wait very long for the next price increase. but, if you do the stock at the right time, maybe the waiting time you need isn't that long. In the end, it's a matter of patience, and this is the most important point. however, if you hold back at the right time, you will get faster profits.

You have a point, there’s a time and plan we should sell our coins we hold. Because some when holding too long the price is not already in a high prce. But when a project has a solid plans and on going development it is still good to hold and sell when you can take a profit already. Let us always check the team development so you we will not miss out on the project.

development is really important, as well as user base, if there is these two, project can succeed, no matter current price and volatility, but if the project does not have development or user base, it is a risky business to step in, no matter how low the price really is, since there is no point up without these two

Every thing about crypto is timing, know when to jump in and know when to take profit, buy coins when they are cheap and sell higher someday, I am against buying coins when they are pumping, it's too risky, if price dumps after you buy high you are already in loss

Holding is defending on project and project team if i holding random token or coin then it’s risky for my assets, so i need to hold trusted project then i think i am safe but i don’t believe long term hold, i holding for one month or two month holding and get profit on it...

It's not easy to say for an ico or ieo projects cause now days it's rare to see good quality projects which have real future. Most of projects are running with so many hypes and after that project automatically become a dead project. And important thing is it take many times to achieve this kinda experience. Knowing right time to hold is not easy for new investors so it's always be a best option to choose legit platform like bitcoin.

In my opinion, I feel like this tweet aged well, timing to hodl tokens is always important especially when you have done your due deligence and have the patience expected of a hodler.

Hodling bitcoin, etherum in April was termed high risk, but well oriented investors held on still believkng that 20k is still achieve able.

I re emphasize again, the correct timing to hodl your tokens is all you need to moon or lambo

make a strategy to hold tokens or coins at what price and see if the hold will be good or not
Judging from the coin news project, whether the news will have an impact on prices or just ordinary news
It is not easy to hold any token or coin without clear analysis for the future

yes, it is all just speculation based on the analysis. I've also felt desperate to hold on to the assets I bought as well as the ones I got from the campaign. but who knows about the progress of the project. some are active but their markets also remain poor. some are dead and abandoned by many people but suddenly all are shocked by the updates that have made prices pump up. I wouldn't bet long-term on assets with no clear prospects for me.

gotten some great tokens from a solid undertaking and hold, during their underlying rundown I never needed to sell since I saw prospect with the task however later understood that I was played while holding. Unsurpassed high and regardless of whether there were a bull rally, we don't know whether everything about coins would have comparable ascent. Like stated, on the off chance that you have faith in the task and the venture is still to dispatch it's administration, it's acceptable to hold them for long haul and sell when they gets their worth.

timing is very important with anything in the cryptocurrency business, you cant just buy some altcoins, save them in your wallet and hope to become rich.
You need to follow up with important news on the projects know about new developments, know when to hodl and when to sell off a coin.
You dont want to be caught  holding the bag of altcoins that have lost their value.

You are specifically talking about cashing out at the top and buying and holding from the bottom, yes it is very simple to say but it is very hard to do as no one can predict the exact top and bottom and i think most people carry on holding even after the top.

In investing, do you want a profit or a loss? If, for example, you invested more than $ 500, then you should keep an eye on it and set a target. if in the short term you have made a profit why should you wait for the long term? you can play long term if after you buy the coin the price drops, that means you have to use it long term to wait.

All factors are important when choosing coins. The huge unpredictability of the market is a big problem and at the same time a big advantage. Before investing your money anywhere, you need to clearly understand why you are doing it and what you plan to get in the end. There are coins that exist and even develop, but they grow in value slightly. And they can give a leap quickly, as, for example, it was recently with Dogecoin. But now the holders of this coin will have to wait a long time for the next leap.

It is better to choose the time for buying and selling yourself and independently evaluate the growth opportunities of the coin in the future.

for me it depends in a projects roadmap, no matter how long or short you hold a coin or token , if there is no usage or purpose, its seems to be useless, choosing coin to hold is very important, because if you choose just a copy tokens, there will be less value, and higher chance it will be a garbage in the future, if you choose promising coins or token it will bring you fortune, in the near future if you decide to keep it for years.

yeah, it's all about timing.
timing to buy, timing to hold, timing to sell.
if you miss the timing, then you have to wait for another chance, the most important thing is don't be panic, most people
tend to panic in the state of red zone, so you really need to be patient

-Platform
-Market

Both will be my considerations when I am interested in holding for a long time. in this case I want a higher return. When the platform has been launched and the market is already in a high volume market, this can make a profit for the holder. but on the other hand we also bet if it turns out that the altcoins we hold will end up Rekt. there are many cases of altcoins that fail because of the platform that does not work or is abandoned by the team

The roadmap says what they will do in a certain period but the most crucial thing to look is on how team handle the project. Are they able to follow the road map and implement their decision effectively?

People invest because they believe in a certain project and they also understand that it will take time before it reach its goal, however, the team needs to show transparency for investors to track the progress of a certain project as that's the only way they can gain trust from investors and potential investors.

Market means in general about cryptocurrencies so you should be specific with what you're wanting to hold. And for the platforms, they're just there and you're the one to do the initiative whether you'll deposit or not.
Maybe, you're planning to hold those tokens on "platforms" or exchanges, if that's it. That's not a good idea.

Definitely.  Any project that you are interested in and interested in will need time to check the integrity of the project to achieve satisfactory value.  Note the background from Whitepaper, Lightpaper.  And the token / coin hold plan for me is the roadmap.  This is the condition to accurately identify opportunities to promote value in terms of profits.

Selling too soon or too late is not beneficial.  Identifying your opportunities to sell at the right time will determine your success!  But it is hardly an easy thing.

such an attitude is more for people who have a greedy attitude towards market situations.
You can feel it when you look at the market in a pump and always hope the price will be even higher and if there is a decrease then you can lose the moment to sell.
it would be better to invest in a clear plan. and you don't need to be sorry if the price increases again when you sell your asset. the most important thing is you have achieved what you planned with the benefits you get.
every crypto asset has its momentum in the market. it all depends on whether we want to sell or hold it.

In the first place there's no sense of holding a token if you don't expect it to grow in the long run.

The main purpose of buying and holding is simply for profit, nothing more. unless you are a fan or putting it as a collection only and you want to be a bag holder or worthless coin. That was a bit of me, though I don't intend to hold but it seems like I'm a bag holder of worthless coins as I hold too long and got a bit greedy even seeing that the price is already high.

This investors set their targets to make sure they'll able to maximize thier profits, buy then wait hold patiently.


Yea right, if you are holding assets that have real usages, long wait gives you more time to continue analysing the potential of your investment.


Short term traders are people who are contented with some gains and keeps repeating the process to rinse every possible good projects.


Timing in any event paid you up with huge earnings, learning how to keep your patience will allow you to succeed from this business.

Realizing the legitimate chance to buy and sell us vital with regards to crypto currency’s , purchasing an off-base coin or token can result to losing all hard earned money, and not realizing the best an ideal opportunity to buy an altcoin can be exceptionally risky aswell. So to be earnest, timing to hold and purchase is vital.

You're expecting something might happen to that token because you believe that it's worth it to hold it.
But sometimes you're expectation doesn't go along perfectly and it breaks your expectation. That's when timing will come in and do it when the market is red, you buy at red days.

holding back is indeed an interesting thing when we do and believe in the rise of the coin. however, our thinking about it will end when the coins we hold continue to decline. just like the hold on bitcoin and ethereum coins in 2018, the price has fallen quite deeply, and within 3 years, the price has risen again, but it is not a fast time. that is, why the holding time of coins is so important, so look for coins that have the potential, and are popular, then look for the right moment to hold those coins.

The right moment of selling is very important. You may have the potential holds of coins but you don't know when to sell.
You'll be the last to do it if you don't do it and you just watch others do it.

I was giving advice to so many people that invest before the start of this year. Already every (good volume) altcoins are giving us a good profit. EOS blockchain, DIA these altcoins don't pump, so we can invest. Time doesn't matter if you invest now and sell before the last quarter. After the 10-15 times profit, we shouldn't hold our altcoins even time doesn't matter.

I totally agree with you OP. Of you have been in the cryptospace for at least 2 years, you also agree with OP totally that long tetm holding is the best investment strategy in this space apart from short term trading. A lot of people will confirm that holding have given them more than they ever think of realizing from from trading and short term holding.

Technique matters a great deal however we additionally need our karma to have the option to make a benefit from the market. The somebody has utilized some unacceptable procedure and they can end into the misfortune as well. The top coins decline the opportunity for us to get the misfortune yet I concur with you about the trading experience is truly significant.

For me, I seldom invest in certain tokens or coins that already popular, I'm not that good at trading. I always looking up for new project. My first principle is to get it for free ( thou' it's not totally free cause I still have to work hard dedicating time, energy, data package etc lol) but I invested too if I thought it's a good project. For me, it's easy to read the new project than the popular one cause the certainty of the process, you know from the presale- listing news- token burning etc. It's easier to analyze whether I should HODL or sell regarding those step. So yeah, timing is important, news is important (especially the moment before the news got out)

I agree with you. Understanding how long a token should hold is very important. For example, at the time of YOUC token distribution, the price was 0.005-0.008 usd per token. Three months after the distribution, there was a date of launching YOU app. And after 3 months its price goes up to 0.02-0.06 usd. Again, the price of some tokens is good at the beginning, but as a result of long time hold, their price is now almost zero, such as APPC, Pin, FDX, etc.  So I think the most important thing is to decide how long to hold a token and when to sell it.

Timing in investing is important rather than timing in hodl. It is way better if we are aware what's the current market situation first, before engaging with some crypto/s. Hodl it once the assets you have is a pomising project in the future, it is also good to have a target price before selling.

In my opinion, cryptocurrency investment is very good as a long-term investment if you invest in altcoin that are in the top 100 on coinmarketcap, but if you invest in new altcoin or altcoin that are not in the top 100 on coinmarketcap, then you better hold for the short term (sell when the price has risen very high), because the risk is very big if you invest for the long term (the price can fall very far).

in my opinion if you don't need money and do use that money for investment, then hold for the long-term is the right choice, but I advise you to buy and hold Bitcoin, because the price of Bitcoin will definitely continue to increase all the time and of course it will give you a lot of profit if you hold Bitcoin for the long term.

I am not completely agree with you.  Holding a long term can turn many valuable coins or tokens into shit coins, such as Bitcoin SV. There are some tokens that have a contract address lock or change, some tokens have a symbol change such as bitjob, ERC20 supportable TRX etc. If you hold this type of token ultimately you get nothing.

It is not 100% certain that the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise. Although the price of Bitcoin increased till 2017, in 2018, 2019 the price decreased < $3000. Now looking at the bull run of Bitcoin, it seems that its price will not decrease but it may not happen.

If you buy and hold Bitcoin, there is no loss, the price of Bitcoin will increase. Looking at the current market situation, one can easily guess how profitable it is to hold Bitcoin.
There are plenty of options to invest in the crypto market and you can make a good profit by investing there. But there is a risk of loss in those ways, because lots of projects run away from the market by scamming investors.

By doing so, those investors do not want to believe in other projects, they look at those projects with suspicion. So they prefer to invest in Bitcoin.

When it comes to Bitcoin talks or potential then theres no doubt to it when it comes to recovering prices and reaching new heights but this one wont be applied on altcoins
excluding to those top rankings though.Everything do really needs timing and also not all would have the same aim when it comes to holding, some do prefer on seeing
profits in a short span of time and didnt intent need to wait up for too long for their profits to be materialized and not all would really be having the same
mindset when it comes to their crypto investment.

In my opinion, it depends on the tokens we HODL, sometimes the longer we HODL the price is higher. But not the least, the longer the tokens we HODL,
the price will be destroyed and eventually become dead coins. So the key is not how long we hold tokens, but we do have to choose the right tokens
for HODL. Make sure if you want HODL tokens in the long run they are high volume and popular with being listed on many exchanges.

Currently the conditions and situation are different in the crypto space, where in 2018, 2019 there were not many big companies and people accommodating Bitcoin when it started to decline, so the decline could be very visible in the market, and for now it is clearly very different where some large companies and the richest people in the world already like Bitcoin so that the price of Bitcoin will remain at a high price, even though there is a slight decrease which will not have much effect on other aspects.

What you are saying is that the adoption is different this time. Big stakeholders are already in this market and I don't think we are stopping anytime soon. More and more big companies wanted to get involve in crypto. And who knows, they are secretly buying large amounts of bitcoin? But I can say, if you want to invest in bitcoin, make sure it is not your life's savings so you can still sleep soundly at night without worrying about the market.

Time to hodl token is important, just buy and hodl token with strong fundamental project like XSL labs, it will not pump fast but when the project can aquire many people to use it for dapps i think it will going big. I still hodl my swissborg and AAVE token untill now, maybe will cash out end of this year.

Holding seem to always be a problem for people and that is because most people aren't familiar with the concepts of investing. the mystery in Holding a coin/token is to put to the side your feelings, regardless of what occurs here and there. Try not to allow your feelings to win, crypto holding needs a lot of tolerance. Obviously, ensure you are holding the correct coin If this string isn't posted on altcoins conversation I will clearly recommend holding bitcoin just, the most secure resource that will without a doubt recuperate regardless of what occurs.
Most people are better off trading than trying to hold

The length of time you have will determine where you should invest.
If the strategy you choose is long-term, then you should really choose an altcoin that has a future sale value, and that is your goal.
Therefore, determine in advance where your investment goals are if you prefer the long term

That is true that timing is the most important thing in crypto investment whether it is long term or short term. Knowing when will you hodl and will you sell your hodling to get a good amount of profit need a good timing.

yes it is true that there are times when we have to be right in selling a coin that we have invested for a long time. sometimes a coin / token reaches its best price it takes 1 or 2 years. investors will sell their investment coins if they feel that the profit is sufficient even though the price can be higher

actually it is true, but never buy tokens with the necessities of life because it is very risky if you rectify and the money has a sudden need you will become dizzy because the money is not enough and in the end you borrow money from friends or the bank.

Yes, from the past it was not recommended to trade with money that is used for daily living needs, because that is not a good thing to do, so many people give advice to always use free money or money that is not used in everyday life the necessities of trading and investing in crypto.

but for those who are too obsessed with the market. crypto trading and investing have become like gambling to him.
Regarding advice as you say, of course, I'm sure market-obsessed people will already know about it. however, everyone has different planning and skills. when someone asks for advice, we can provide the best possible solution. when he is not satisfied then invite him to find an answer that can make him satisfied.
holding investment assets over the long term is not an easy skill. You can see how many people panic when they see the market moving. it can happen even if a person has made careful planning at the beginning of his investment.

I agree, buying tokens can be very risky. We shouldn't use money that we need short term. Best is to invest long term, so we already expect our money to be invested for a few years. In my opinion timing is very important in all types of trading or investing. It doesn't matter if we buy tokens or stocks, if we get the timing wrong we can leave a lot of potential profit on the table.

It's very important that at what rate you have bought a coin. If you have bought it at its ATH then its useless to HODL. The key to success in HODLing is buy at dip and hodl till you get your target value. good luck.

Traders do two kinds of hold. Long time and short time.
If you don’t wanna take high risk than its better to take short hold on a coin and sell them if price increase slightly and profitable.
But if you want to earn more than its better to hodl for a long time.
In risk management you can invest more while you are holding short and on the other hand you should invest less in a long hold project.
Cause of Course you don’t wanna stuck your assets for a long period of time.

of course timing is imprtant, wich mean if buy any coins in the right time, wich mean when the price hit a strong supporyt zone, then hodl it for long term
we will get a good profit mate, because besides patience, know about the right time to enter or exit the market is very important too

If we are planning HODL coins, it means that we are ready to be patient not to sell coins for a certain period of time. Usually HODL is
for long term investment, which is to get a big profit. But we do have to have the right timing when buying the coins that we want to HODL.
So that the profit we make can maximized, by timing buying coins when the price dips much better. In addition to getting greater profit,
buying at dip prices indirectly makes us more motivated for the HODL coins we have.

Yeah, timing is very important for each individual traders mate, because if you know how to use this or to apply this method
surely any time you wanna do some activity of trading you will gain crypto in the end. But if you don't know how to manage this TIMING
methods you could also be loose in the end as well where you might regret why you buy or sell the coin.

long or short, it really depends on when you will hold your coins. Some people think of holding back in the long term by conducting regular asset collections regardless of the news, or information at hand. they sometimes just believe in popular coins. while for the short term hold, they will continue to look for information to use the pump that will happen to a coin. so, choose the type which you like. Personally, I don't see the timings when I am accumulating assets. so, I move when the opportunity arises.

For a long time it's worth keeping only what allows you to benefit from it. Freezing your money in questionable value would be a mistake. Therefore it's worthwhile to understand in advance for how long you would like to invest otherwise someone else from the market will do it for you and yoг'll lose some of the money.

A portion of my tokens are useless in light of my drawn out holding of tokens in my wallet because of expecting a greater cost in the future.Long expression hold and momentary hold are two diverse procedure however you can generally change your system as indicated by the situation.looking for data prior to purchasing a coin,Now about planning by and large, really it makes a difference just in new activities subsequently purchasing early will give higher freedom to hold and sell when in Profit.

When working with cryptocurrency, literally every detail, time, season, trend, choice of the right coins is important. Market analysis and familiarity with statistics will help determine the approximate hold time of a particular coin.

On the other hand, given the unpredictability of the market, one simply cannot do nothing without monitoring the situation. If the value of your coin is more than double or even more than the original amount, then it is worth selling it. Or take a risk and hold the token for several years to achieve maximum income.

I hodl some tokens that I know the project is on. Otherwise it would not be worth it because nothing will make a token gain value if its ecosystem does not grow.
The hard work of the project developers will make its economic token gain value.

Let's take Binance and its business model as an example. The BNB token has rapidly climbed to the 3rd position in the crypto market. I remember buying some BNB for the first time when its price was $ 3 and its current price as I write this post is $ 265.51. Amazing! Great progress from Binance and BNB.

Long or short term depending on the investor, if the investor is a beginner then the long term is better, if the professional investor will usually use both, the short term when the development of the coin is slow and the long term when knowing the potential of the coin being held.
Usually the coins that are held for the long term are major coins that are ranked in the top 50 of the market cap.

I believe all investors have to be dynamic with their approach to investing in crypto projects, and this is because not all the same principles that work with offchain projects will be applicable to Blockchain and crypto projects
Its okay to cash he your stance on a project, you can decide yo hold short term, long term and change your stance when you see how the project has progressed.
I personally look for valuable coins that i can buy and conveniently hold long term, but i am always ready to sell if i no longer believe that the project will reach its goals.

I prefer to struggle in the long term on Bitcoin and Ethereum to store and invest. I always avoid buying coins/tokens from ICO projects because some tokens are worthless in the long term and tend to be thrown away when listed in just a few hours

it's a good strategy. But, when you want to earn more, although it is more risky, you will start considering other types of investments.

by now the long term hold and short hold strategies are outdated to be able to get a good profit from our coins we have to follow the market changes every day and sell at the right time (timing)

I agree with you. There is a good time to invest in everything. And the one who can determine it in the right way will be successful. You have to think about everything before buying any token. That requires a lot of research. But it is better to hodl it for a long time.

I agree with that but probably most people or this thing hold will always work when it comes to Bitcoin and Ethereum because just looking at the supply and demand of for example bitcoin it makes sense for the market price to increase over the years.

For most investors, there are some that would go for a long term investment because they probably don't have time to manage their investment compared to a daily trader or something where he could do a lot of research and at the same time sell some altcoins in the market make a profit and then buy again when the price is a dump or buy back bitcoin probably.

I guess one of the problems that I see here most of the time is people do not realize that the money needs to flow in the market and 1 token or altcoin, for example, will not just continue to pump and pump until it reaches the moon except bitcoin of course, but the point is when it pumps so high there will be a big dump after that.

The holding is important to achieving ideal returns. It is important to follow the development of the project to consider whether to continue keeping them or not. To ensure optimally profitable holdings you need to spread your money to buy at times of lowest price. The better your entry point, the better your chances of making a big profit.

You are right. Momentum, when we get into an investment, is what determines whether we will have a chance to make a profit or not.
because what we can now know in investing is of course the easiest is to buy when it is cheap and hold it until the price becomes expensive. that's our simple thinking.
in fact, there is no such complex planning. But examining the market and determining the momentum to sell is also important. all that we can do wisely and there is no need to rush.

I agree to that. I believe the timing at which any investor buys in and decides to hodl has a great impact on the period and the amount of profits you make with your investment. Imagine someone buying in at ATH, now you will have to hold through the bears and back to the bulls and past your initial price of entry before you can make profit and this is when you even invested in the right project as well and if you didnt loss your patience before time.

Early investors and presales and private sales are the most profitable in the crypto industry. Now our crypto industry is matured and it is not so hard to identify and scam projects. So just use your knowledge and time before investing in a new project. BTC is good for the long run but it will minimize your chance to increase your portfolio when the new project can give 10X to 100X in few months.

I will always believe in crypto saying "but at red, sell at green" simple statement but it requires enough knowledge to fully understand technically. Timing is a key virtue especially if you are a full-time trader and holder, some people became rich because of their ability to know the right timing of selling. One thing is sure, experience and enough knowledge are required to acquire the right skills in crypto market.

Timing how long you intend to hold a cryptocurrency you have invested in is just as important as deciding on which cryptocurrency to invest in because the way price moves in the market is up and down, even in a trending market. If you just hold a coin without selling in the very long term you may see some very good gains in terms of profit made. But this cannot be compared to what you will make it you sold off when the prices are at record highs and then buying back when the price has dumped a bit. This is where timing comes in, timing is important to make more profit from investing in this space

The time that we hold our cryptocurrency primarily depends on the cryptocurrency itself, the prospects of its project. Some coins or tokens can be held for a long time, others only for a certain time, after which it will be correct to sell it. Of course, the top ten coins listed in CoinM will always be preferable for long-term holding due to the fact that they already have a high level of capitalization. As for the rest of the cryptocurrencies, as practice shows, it is necessary to observe the growth and development of projects, the cryptocurrency of which we hold, in order to make the necessary decisions on time.

in a market situation like now, we must be clever in seeing opportunities that exist, if the investment is more profitable in the short term then we do not need to wait for a long time to sell altcoin that we have.

Agree, one of good strategy mate is on how to trigger and get the right timing of the coin or token you've invested. Just focus on the token movement in the crypto market, observe it well and make a move "buy low sell high" motto. We know cryptomarket is unpredictable but its better and more practical to do those stratedgic thing than do nothing at all.

Usually it’s up to currency if you will hold it for 5 years or for 1 month. I change my strategy according to the situation. Some coins I can take for the long term. It's about mainstream currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum. I have to be patient to make money on them.
But some coins I buy for short-term holding and I will sell them as soon as their trend changes. For example,it was good to buy meme coins in spring because of fast income, or now I buy tokens of NFT-games while there is a hype around this sphere.

To survive in a long or short period of time it depends on the situation of the coin or token price in the market, if it is inversely proportional then we should not hold a coin. It is different if the coin has a high selling value in the future.

Me too, i think it is useless to hold the tokens for long time if the token itself is a trash token/shit token.
We should know whether the project is good enough for us to hold their token in our wallet, otherwise the token will become the decoration only in our wallet. So, the timing to holding is important, but the more important is the quality of the project.

it depends on the coins you invest, if you invest only in the top coins and hold them for the long term in my opinion it's not that risky it's just that you need extra patience because each team certainly needs time for further development related to the project. another story if you plan for the short term, then you can do on the top exchanges and choose coins with large volumes.
