The truth about crypto currency is that it is more about hodling, technically, crypto is hodling.
Most people that has been able to take profit from crypto currency trade or investment are those that have mastered the act of hodling.

Knowing when to hodl, when not to hodl is an important skill you need.

If you want to make a good profit with out any hesitation then holding is the proper way because it is very easy. On the other hand trading is not easier than holding. Before holding one should be more calculative and experienced. Without experience trader will not make profit. I think trading is more risky then holding.

I have seen people making bigger money by active trading than hodling but i agree to the fact that trading is not for everyone and most people lose while trading so maybe hodling suits more to the people especially who take it as side or extra investment.

Sometimes holding is good and other times holding is a bad idea, there are some project if you don't sell at the time the price was high and holding thinking price will go even more higher in future it won't because by then the team must have dump too and left the project, you will be holding a bag of shit coins.

Not that alone, if you don't have the mind, there's no way you can hold. Crypto is very volatile, hence not everyone can handle - 30% of their funds. They become depressed, regrets set in and give up, some sold at loss and give up on crypto.
Those who bought at peak on last btc bull run, you often hear some noobs that crypto is a scam investment, some claim you have to hold for eternity before you could gain.
In cryptocurrency, you need patience and mind. Be ready for what comes after.

Don't invest what you cannot afford to looose

I think you do not understand the context of my message, I reiterate once again that crypto currency is all about hodling. What matters is when you hodl, and when you trade which is equilvalent to the potentials you stated.

We are on the same lane.

To some extent I would say yes but you should know that not all project are worth holding for long, it is important to identify those project that have the potential of a long term growth and hold them, if you make the mistake of holding shitcoin that is meant for pump and dump you might end up to regret it.

What are you talking about? Which is not understood by people here? I can not see any post you made before this one in this thread. Then why you said like this?
Is there any relation with OP and You?  :) Little bit suspicious to me.   

I go with the last line of your post.  However, making it in the crypto space is not about holding alone.  There are some investors that only deal with daily trading.  They study the market, envisage an increase in the price.  They invest in large quantity and at the end of that day, they are able to rake in some thousands of dollars.  At times you can hold and lose everything.  The important thing is the last part of the post.

Not cryptocurrency entirely but bitcoin investment and it should be all about holding because that has been the most rewarded strategy so far that it has given more Investors profit then any other technique like trading. When holding altcoins you have to make yourself understand that they can be easily replace at any moment and the replacement will be even more superior.

Altcoins works in season like currently we're in the DeFi season that's why more of project recording success are DeFi related. You don't go holding onto most of the project after the hype dies down because they're likely going to decrease which will just result to lost.

depending on how you look at it and individual strength. your strength, skills and knowledge will determine if holding works better or day trading gives you more profit. generally everyone will hold in one way or the orther.

This is kinda wrong mindset for sure. As OP said "more about".
Sad but reality, but for sure I believe that as time goes by, this will be change, cryptocurrency is very helpful for our daily lives, since we are still early, lot of people will not value this, but they will treat cryptocurrency as investment or a way to earn easy money.

I may have to disagree with you, technically it is not holding, you can still your crypto in this case bitcoin as form of money or currency.


There's no skill involved in holding, that's why it is best recommended for newbie investors. Buy low sell high, or if you buy it high enough, then don't sell it unless you are going to make a profit.

I think this particular issue goes sideways or in all ways that is, there are people who don't trade but hold good coins like BTC and the rest and they keep making their profits. While there are people who don't hold but trade and still make their profits. In the same way, there are still people doing both and still making their profits. Therefore it means that, what actually matters is mastering the area you want to get involved with and doing your best as regards it. Another reason I can add is, knowing your ability and experience thus working with it.

Not all the time hodling would work especially if you don't have the patience to hold that long.

If you see an opportunity to maximize your profit in short term too, why focus on hodling only?
I've seen a lot of traders who makes money doing day trading, I think we can call them successful too, and they don't need to wait for a longer time to sell as they can make profit anytime since they master the working technique in day trading.

For most of us who does not have enough knowledge and skills in short term trading and day trading, HODL is the best strategy that would fit for us, but  Crypto currency is "NOT" all about Hodling.

Being a hodler is not easy as many people think, there are a lot of risk as well. As you can imagine for those people who bought bitcoin and other altcoin when their price touch all time high, I bet they will sell them at the lose situation. They will never hold until now because in the past year most altcoin and bitcoin price decrease sharply and has made a lot investor got a huge lost.

You may need to see the market situation be it per day or per week. You can see and make an analyst to the coin that you hold so as you will be comfortable when keep the coin in your wallet. Usually, the market sentiment will be changed by fundamental factor so as being a holder is not  you put the coin in your wallet and you let it for several years, unless you use money that you can afford to lose and you never expect that you have to get profit in it.

that depends on where you are and how good or bad your position when you were entering the market. Holding sometimes can be profitable but there were so many people who have been losing a lot caused by they were getting trapped at ATH. that makes them all can't go out from the market.

Hold with strategies so you can know when to sell your holdings because if you are just going to hold without concrete plan then you’ll lose the chance of selling on a good price.

Cryptocurrency also works for day traders though the risk is higher but it can still be profitable base on your skills. Holding is not easy, you must also hold good coins and not just about the hype and shitcoins.

I may rate this with 75 % fact, but if you don't take a risk to explore with new ideas that can give you a better opportunity to earn more than what you hold, imagine, not all who owns the business does not mean they don't have the credit or they don't loan money for investment. For example, many have tried to take the risk and share ideas and afterward opens an Initial Coin Offering (ICO), earns more than what they hold. Holding is one of the best options but you should be financially literate if you want it to increase.

If you want to hold, I suggest holding Bitcoin in 80% of your portfolio. Because when Bitcoin is on hype, altcoins might follow in Bitcoin movements too.

Hodling is not true to most of alts available in the market. Maybe it is applicable to btc or eth or other established alts, but most of the alts/tokens, I don't think it is smart to hodl them. Because most of them will be abandoned by their respective developers.

Short-term trading is also one good option to earn profit. If you know what you are doing in trading, you can earn a lot more on this type of trading rather than long term hodling. But yes, cryptocurrency is not all about hodling. Because if you will follow this, you will end up hodling worthless tokens and coins, and regretting that you didn't sell it early.

I would say to each their own. Every person can have different want and needs with money. There are many people who reside in countries with huge inflation, so holding crypto to use as money actually makes more sense in these occasions. And moreover, not everyone lives in financial stability enough to be able to put significant amounts of money in crypto without any intention to spend anything.

Bitcoin is neutral anyway so it won't judge people by usage. Every user is free to use the coin as they'd like without restrictions.

Hodling crypto or investing is actually the same as passive crypto trading, we can use the same principle, namely buying when the price of crypto is cheap and selling crypto when the price goes up. In crypto trading passives, we don't need detailed technical and fundamental analysis like day trading. but my advice, don't use new crypto as hodling crypto.

Trading skills are not the same as holding bitcoin or altcoin.
if you are a reliable trader you can make a profit every day as you wish, while holding for a long time does not necessarily result in anything.
Make your choice.

It's not all about people who will vote for Hodl for too long in crypto, even the bear market in the last 2 years made a lot of people almost frustrated novice hodl and ended up selling it cheap in panic, but for old players it might be an opportunity to buy. many, currently the crypto market is bull, I am probably one of the people who likes HODL for a very long time not really like trading in the short term

Knowing when or when not to trade is the key to every crypto. Hoarding coins and hoping it would take value without knowing the ins and outs of the market will not do you good. Hoarding without the lack of experience may as well be the reason of investment loss.

Not really, because if the price of all of the coins you have increased in a short time, would you still hold it for more? I guess not because if you still hold, you will not make the biggest profit.
Hold the coin will be good for temporary until the price increase so that you can sell it at the right time and a high price.
You can buy back the coin again when the price is down.
But not all people can hold their coins for a long time because that will need the big patient to see the price will be up and down every day.

Not really agree with you, you still do some research to the coin or token that you buy
If you buy just randomly coin or token maybe its scam project or theres no clear future with that coin
With your own research and your own risk to choose the right coin or token hodling more better than trading 

Both are situational choices, and depending on the acumen of a person, lucrative accordingly. Though trading is not for everybody and holding seemingly simpler, one has to still know when to sell, without becoming prone to predictive panic, and its resultant depression. Sometimes with surmised loss due to selling too soon, and sometimes real.

Trading is much better strategy than than holding, invest in any low marketcap altcoins for long term will result no profits and only loss, holding only applies to top coins in the market. Trading is a much better skill if you learn how to trade, there's alot of guides out there on how to trade.

Cryptoqurrency is a digital asset that is profitable for investment in the long and short term, but for those with real use cases. especially with the top coins and always has a further price development. In investing at least you need patience, skills and be able to manage your investment properly.

Yes,,, I would have to disagree that it is all about hodling. For sure most speculation is about that, or pump and dump, one extreme or the other,,, but crypto is actually all about using. If everybody holds then you end up with stupid coins like StrongHands where everybody loses to the smart dumper.

but this is the market condition must support or your analysis will be in vain, but those who are experienced must have predicted the market condition if the market will improve or worsen.
so they will be a little helped and not easily get into the trap.

Well for me its not about hodling. You cant make profit when you only hold because a strategy is needed too. Strategy and plan for you to have a guide of what to do in your investment specially we are talking about alts. We know that not all alts are good for long period holding, the price can dump unexpectedly so close monitoring and analysis are a must.

Not just by holding. There are other purpose of cryptocurrency.
-Trading
-Gambling
-Payment method

And other things. Though majority are holding crypto coins for passive earnings, others wanted it to trade and use it for gambling too. Taking other options not just by holding is another way to earn, isn't? We also kno that the risk is lower by just holding some crypto coins that is why majority wanted this option.

Knowing when to HODL and not when to HODL is impossible to know and the most important part is how to handle the suffering of watching your tokens lose value in few times and still continue to HODL

Holding some good coins in huge amount can be beneficial maybe you will get chances to make good amount of profit with these coins in future but the most important thing is you must have patience for this and the other side holding some small amount of coins is not a worthy way it's better to trade them carefully and make profit if you have good trading skills.

why ? you know that its time to hodl once the market is starting to go red  and its time to sell or not hodl when the market gives healthy greens  . its possible but its only not possible to get the exact timing  . its okay to not perfect it atleast what important is that you still earned something  .

yes thats important too because if you dont do that you will only end up disposing your coins which you think not painful to do but the truth it is  .

Crypto isn't always  about holding mate, some projects will never recover no matter how many years you hold them for, finding serious crypto developers is the best thing to learn right now, someone you can entrust your hard earned money, team that are very serious with their projects is the most important

That's true and when we are facing such project and that will be a very bad decision for us to hodl the token. Crypto is about seeing the opportunity that will always appear anytime. As an investor and we must become a wise investors that always try to take the opporunity

I beg to differ. It is not about holding only. Crypto currencies were made to be used as a medium of exchange. It wasn't made for using it as an investment. Unfortunately, due to some issues, people find it more suitable to invest in, other than using it as a medium of exchange. But it is a good thing to encourage people to use it as a regular currency.
And yeah, holding gives you more profit in the long run. But so does trading, if you know how to trade.

Nope you got it wrong, not all crypo coins are good for long term hold, you can never predict how further the team will take the project, some projects only live longer than four to five years and after they go down, the best advice is to always invest only what you can afford and learn to take profits

it is knowledge and skills that will give you good luck when making short-term investments. trading is much riskier especially if you have no knowledge at all. If you don't like a high risk appetite then you can simply invest in real coins like Bitcoin or stable coins. If you come to the crypto industry to take advantage, then you must always be ready with every decision you make.

Also aside from use case that specific coin/token must have demand. Not all survive thr market especially on the bear era. Only top coin can guaranteed you enough profits. Now that everything is in consolidation, holding still an effective method. But its always have some cash when the market crash suddenly to average your asset. Trading is a lot of experimental process and it take a lot of confidence to win on it.

Make sure the coins and tokens you plan to hold are good enough and also know that even Projects that have high quality use cases can see unexpected endings ( DEATH ), this is why its safe to invest only what you can afford to lose, do not invest your life savings on a crypto coin

This is really how you make a profit you must know when to get in and when to get out timing is everything in making a profit in Cryptocurrency
and you will not learn it if you do not know how to read the market.

HODLing can be very profitable but can also make you lose everything. Careful and don't get too greedy. Had to take a break from crypto due to this reason missing chances to make big money and now my bags worth peanuts.

It is not the truth after all. If it is the truth then traders and investors should keep making profit but in the reality is only few people survives and majority quitting because of they cannot handle their losses and the risks anymore. Do you know what is the truth? It is all about passion, knowledge, skills and hardwork. Holding cannot guarantee you that you will have profit in this market. Holding is only applicable if the market is in bullish because in that way you can earn money by just having patience. It is all about craftsmanship, if you are not good in trading then the chances is you will lose most of your capital in the market.

when we hold some coins or token we have to understand what is actually going happen to this project. dont ever we hold but we dont know what happen to projects. some investors often do this mistake, while they buy and decided to hold but forget without find and update. if we know the lastest fundamental we will understand what should we do later.

If you are a long-term investor of course holding is a must, but if you are a day trader then you don't need to look at it, all you need is to analyze prices, using technical analysis techniques.

For me, there are two types of Hodling short term and long term you can profit on both kind on short term just study the market and learn the right time to buy and sell on long term you just buy low and wair for the price to double you can sell a small percentage each time there is a price increase.

And that my friend is not an easy thing to do. You have to know when you need to be an active trader or just a hodler. Having to know when to hodl and when let go is actually very important. Some even has the intention to hodl for a long or short term when they decided to invest.

Hodling doesn't always end up as you wanted to. At the worst case scenario you have to cut loss. Well, if you know when to sell and to hold then it's all about experience I guess.

You don't want to hold the wrong coins and tokens pal, not all crypto projects are good for holding, some are just a pump and dump and no matter how long you hold them for you will still be in loss

No it is not always about holding. Maybe you can do that strategy if you got the coin for free but in trading holding will not always applicable.
There are certain coins that is good to hold but there are coins who are good for day trading just DYOR what coins to hold or the other way around.

I believe all things are worth it if you have patience in life and as the saying goes "good things come to those of wait" is  applicable in crypto space as holders will always be a winners as a long term investments.  I had some tokens that were sold earlier than expected that really pumped the price after few months i sold it, just like Trust Wallet Token i sold it two months ago for 30$ and now currently valued 500$. It's heartbreaking but there is nothing i can do now, it just teaches me that experienced will always be a great teacher.

Not all the time HODLing can be profitable because some Alternate Coins can create current developments that can either damage their value. You should always be updated by all the news revolving different Alternate Coins so that you can make sure on when to sell them. There also might be some news that an Alternate Coin is changing their Contract and there is just an specific time slot on where you can change your tokens into the new ones and HODLing after that might be bad.

Holding coins won't safe you from getting rekt, it's all about when you would need your money no matter how many years you hold a certain coin or token, this is why I prefer to take profit no matter how small it is or even go fully into stable coin and FIAT

The time to let go off is also crucial than holding something that will lose over 80% in a short time frame. Crypto is volatile and one need to be careful

I think holding is for that time only when you have token and team has good update about future plan or team working following their good roadmap. Otherwise it will be foolish decision if you hold your token. Better you can go for trade that may help you to grew your amount but have to sure that you are investing or trading in right time. So finally i will say its very technical matter and have to give steps carefully.

thanks.

Of course, such variant will work with top cryptocurrencies, but there will be problems with new cryptocurrencies, because we all know and see how many scam cryptocurrencies appear and therefore losses will also occur if you will invest in a lot of cryptocurrencies, so it is better to invest in proven top cryptocurrencies.

You are right, what we need in order to profit in crypto assets is to buy in the right time and hold in the right amount of time then sell it in the right time in order to generate a better amount of profit.

Holding is a game of patience as you will surely encounter many hurdles in doing it like seeing a market crashes and seeing the continous increase of crypto prices but if you will become successful in holding your
crypto assets then you will surely generate a good amount of profit.

Hodling has proven to be the most profitable strategy in the crypto especially now where you can increase your crypto holdings simply by providing liquidity at platforms like uniswap, It is so simple that you are increasing your holdings and if the price increase rapidly you can also take profits.

Sure, it is profitable but it is most accurate to say that it is the safest strategy, other strategy can be most profitable too if done right.
Whether you are a newbie or a long time crypto enthusiasts being a hodler will have benefits for sure.
However, it is not easy, you must always observe the market. And choose what coin to hold.

It was proven many times that the real crypto hodlers are in better profit than daily traders, it is mainly caused by a loss that traders have. Every trader has a loss because he can´t predict the price movement every time.  ::)

It all depends on the person themselves and how they want to trade, because I think if they want to make more profit they have to play long term to trade, but if they just want to take less profit they only play short term for their trade. It may be true that good predictions in trading should be had, otherwise the risk of big losses will occur.

all of us cant predict the coins and if your a trader you can still earn a profit if you will sell early or when the coins are still in bullish mode but yes all of us have a loss but that loss cant occur all the times because what we will be  doing is useless if we will only loose alot .

much better if we quit if thats the case .  crypto hodler do loose too if they wont be on guard with thier coins or if they pick a bad coin right from the start

Cryptocurrency is more than buying, selling and holding as you announced because adequate knowledge and constantly understanding of the market momentum are needed to succeed. However, you make a reasonable impression when you said knowing to hold which the knowledge i talk about but emotion control and stop loss strategy is also needed i.e
For a crypto trader or investor to succeed he needs.
1) Basic knowledge about crypto market analysis.
2) Research to understand the trend the market posed.
3) Have emotion control or else he will fall in love with his holding.
4) Have stop lost strategy when the market dump in price.

To get good profit you must have skills in holding or trading recognize the correct token and understand when i can purchase it and when need to sell it. Don't take the easy way out of investing and don't buy any shitcoin in a hurry. Also i think investing requires perseverance and patience for profits. The trick is you can do something good in this crypto market so prepare yourself that way first.

Holding some coins for long term is cool, but sometimes you regret holding if the coin dumps massively or if you miss out on coin swaps. I'm a trader and I know it's not easy to hold most altcoins long term, especially when the charts signal dump. Any coin I decide to hold, it means I take it as an investment and forget about it even if it dumps and I don't invest so much funds when I decide to go long term on any coin.

Sometimes the roadmap can be changed by the developers as a hodlers and we must watch the market anytime. The price can be dumped to the bottom too dude.
It's better to see the situation and takes the decision based on what things that happened before.

If you are expecting profits without much efforts then holding is important but to make more profits you may have to be more active with shitcoins particularly that is why trading becomes more preferred by the crypto users when they are expecting to make huge profits.And the art of hold is nothing but mastering when to buy and when to sell your cryptos.

Earning from this space is very simple when you know what to hold, when to hold and when to let go. We earn basically by switching coins and tokens. We dance around the space. Giving and receiving different cryptos and our success is spelt with holding the best coin and cashing out when it's right.

Many people trade and make profits as well but there are risks involved in trading as well, sometimes people keep the trades in loss open ror a long long time that can result in massive drawdowns and in the end complete wiping out of your capital so only trade if you have a strategy and you know the risks. On the other hand hodling is good for longterm if holding reputed coins with longterm and historic good performance.

Holding is still a less risky way to make money when bitcoin really bulls but it's quite frustrating for people with low (normal) patience. It's been some years and bitcoin is fluctuating between 4K and 12K. Grid traders on meantime made a good profit but the people that's been holding since the last ATH are still waiting. They price would go up one day but how appropriate would be the profit at that time is a different thing. A dollar today would not be worth the same after a year. The money you can't use when you really need is worthless.

Fear is a big bastard when investing in crypto space, I was holding 6k ESH and after seeing price going down to 0.04$ from 0.12$ then I quickly dump thinking it's over, not knowing that's the best time to jump in, now the price is back to 0.10$ 😣😣😣 I am so sad right now

In fact, if you do not have a good knowledge of crypto, if you do not understand the crypto market, you will not be able to succeed in trading or holding. I think both trading and holding are risky for the unskilled.

You have learned your lesson and it cost you a lot. Next time you will be more wise and experienced. If you would have made a research before buying, you would know that ESH is now s shitcoin and it should be dropped as soon as price goes down. What was the market situation when the price decreased 3 times? Did all the altcoins suffered loss that day? I think you just got into traders trap. They made a short term dump and then started to recover the price.

Holding actually depends on the coin or token you wish to hold. Now all coins are for holding in my own opinion, some are merely for trading and taking profit, I can only hold reputable coins or tokens like btc, eth and other wop 10 stable coins. Even the new upcoming coins that looks promising still can't be guaranteed a hold for me. This crypto space is delicate and since we have fiats involved, we only have to watch carefully before holding any coin.

Holding cryptocurrency requires some level of understanding about the project. It won't be wise to go about accumulating tokens which may later become worthless. It's wise to hold and also take profit at intervals to keep one liquid. I've come to know that in this space there are no guarantees, bitcoin rose to $20,000 in early 2018, and still dropped to less than $4,000 the same year.

That is a skill that takes a lot of time to learn, because you will need to checked and search coins that are for short term and for long term and you must have a patience to hodl even if the coin is not performing well or good, you need to adapt to the market condition so you'll know when to sell and when to buy again it's a continuous cycle.

Yes, crypto is all about holding because if you haven't been patients about your crypto-investment then sooner or later it will cause your investment by losing it. Also if you hold it up to a particular time then you must make a profit by expressing patience towards it.

Knowing when to hold is an important skill, we agree with this point, but no one really has this skill because if there is, of course, he will be the richest man.
I don't agree that crypto is all about hold because many other factors that support crypto such as patience, intuition, the courage to take risks and luck of course

Holding too much may make one bagholder.
Selling to early or in a dip means loses.
Optimum is to sell high and buy back low, but that needs skill.

So the normal is to buy and sell now and then and make sure the project behind the coins does have a future.

There's no doubt that we need to hold some tokens for a while pending when we feel they're ripe for profit. But the most important factor is getting profit and knowing the right time to take profit. I feel really bad sometimes when I convert my crypto and the value skyrockets. Other times, I choose to hodl only for the value to dump on me. The most crucial part is to cash out and earn more money from this industry.

Holding is a major issue in the cryptocurrency market. Because a lot of people have knowledge about holding. Most people hold Bitcoin, EThereum, litecoin. And after holding the coins for a long time, when the price is high, they sell them. Most people make a lot of money by holding. So I think everyone has knowledge about holding. Everyone knows this subject.

I think you are very right about this. Biggest gainers in the crypto currency space have been those who have been able to  hodl to the maximum, taking profits and moving to the next project. I also think, proper patience and experience helps alot if you play the hodl card

it is true even though sometimes our estimates are wrong but at least have better knowledge than without knowing anything.
but some people have also tried other ways such as joining a trading group on telegram, discussing what coins will go up, although I also doubt the information they provide is true or not.
rather than having to study the market yourself because it takes a long time.

therefore investors prefer to make long-term investments in bitcoin because they know that bitcoin price movements from the start will experience an increase in price until it becomes very expensive someday and can be used as old age savings.

The main requirement for holding an altcoin should be the hodlers must understand what he was holding on his wallet. That means the user must fully understand about the project especially on its future development plan and how good the progress that has already made.

Well there are a lot of advantages if we are going to hold coins one of this advantages is that we can choose a perfect price to earn a huge amount of profit. There are so many holders that gain a huge amount of profit as long as we have patience to hold we can really earn profit patience is a must in crypto.

There are coins that is worth to hold for long period. These coins are the popular ones and been existing for years already that started from bottom and now a well established coin and among to those trusted by investors. Holding is not for everyone though because it takes a lot of patience. Know what strategy best suits you to gain.

You mean right, while everyday trading to make a profit is only a few%, after a wave of price fluctuations of Bitcoin, all previous efforts have been blown away quickly. I think trying to hold a certain amount of cryptocurrency is a good idea if you buy it for a low price. Currently the market has grown quite high. Altcoins have reached a new price point and can hardly buy more at a good price. I hope next month is an opportunity to buy at a better price.

Day trading is very risky and to me based on my experience it is not earning. It will just make things worst like bad prediction of the market movement. I think it is better to hold as OP did convey his message that cryptocurrency is about holding and selling it at the right time. Buying crypto is really one important thing that should be consider. And the best time to buy crypto will be during market crash. Wait for bitcoin market price to crash and everything will going to follow.

Holding is taking a lot of time if you want a really higher profit, but if you trade your tokens and do it all day it might get you to better profits.

the most correct decision is to just hold your coins in staking and not try to trade. all attempts of people who do not know how to trade but listen to such advice - lose their money

You're factually right, but not technically.
Because in fact no one knew that crypto will grow over the years that much. When bitcoin fell down in 2017-18 most of the people thought this is the end of it.
So simply hodling won't do the magic, but you gotta think yourself and stand your ground when you decided to cash out at some point.
No regrets, only conclusions

If you determine that you will hold that coin for long time, not trading usually, you just need to choose good and safe coin such as ADA, ETH, Bitcoin..If not, you must know to analysis chart to buy right time and it requires more skills from you

I think it will take a long time but it is the best way to make the biggest profit and to ensure high safety. Bitcoin recently broke 12k and quickly returned to 11k8, followed by 12k4 and hit 11k6 the next day. They happen too quickly and have a big impact on other altcoins.

ahahah. Indeed, if a person without experience starts trading cryptocurrency, he can become crazy. this can happen either because of losses or because of large profits.

Cryptocurrency is not all about holding because there are only some cryptocurrencies worth holding, and some are not. You need to pick the right coin before you buy, so you could not lose any profit, and I suggest you should only buy top coins in the market like bitcoin because they are suitable for long-term investment.

Cryptocurrencies are all about using them. For cryptos that are a great store of value like bitcoin, hodling is actually using them. Other cryptocurrencies strive to fulfill other usecases than being a store of value and that's also okay, as long as the token or coin has any real life functionality.

Hodling is a good strategy is a good strategy when investing in crypto. But it does not apply always to all projects. I have invested in many crypto based only on hype and held on to them hoping that their price will go up later on. But eventually most of those projects died down and I am left with worthless cryptos. I suggest really research about the long term potential of the project before holding long term.

Agreed, cryptocurrency is declamatory, and as such, holding is very important if you want to see a long term profit. Imagine people that held Chainlink from $2 till the present price without selling. While holding is a must to making it big in this crypto world, one shouldn't forget to hold only solid projects as most of these Defi madness will soon fade away.

No, that is not the case. Everything about the crypto space is all about perspectives, what you see as a good thing might be different from the thought of another. That is, most people have made up their mind about trading and some have made up their minds about holding, in each case either of them are likely doing well in it. So in essence, everyone chooses what is best for them, either trading or holding or even both of them.

Cryptocurrency is all about holding? Yes, it is, whether for short term or long term. The opposite side to this is trading. Holding the right crypto assets, for how long and knowing the right time to let go of your bag is important. In all, do not fall in love with any cryptocurrency. Take profit appropriately and wait to buy back the dip.

All i'm seeing in your thread is just "thoughts", really, really can you for real hodl? you can't because you're a human being and you just fear the loss. The millionaires hodling btc are the ones that really forgot about their coins and came back here after years to findout that they own millions of dollars. You still can recover and earn but talking shit won't make you earn a cent, you must really trade sometimes, some coins are dead, alot of peoples lost fortunes hodling. You're not right, it's all about luck and experience in the same time.

You must know how good and strong the fundamental aspect of crypto. Im sure that everyone will try to put some crypto as their long and short term portfolios based on the how good the project is.

People will not try to hold it when they have been getting a lot of profit.

I agree with it investing into the crypto world is full of patience and don't panic sell when prices fall if sure about coin it keep holding at least until you get a profit from the investment

Good opinion, in the crypto world our patience is tested. Who is patient hodl will win, and who is right to release him also wins. Continue to train your trading skills to get bigger profits.

Adding the knowledge what to Hodl and How to HODL it is also very important even if you are good in HODLING and you know how to interpret a signal but you don't know how to look on a coin to HODL you're still going to lose a lot, there's an art and profit in thr word HODL.

But some people have complained bitterly about their experience with hodling. Hodling though is more profiting if it is a crypto your or a time that price will pick a new ATH.

if it is owned by traders then all will get quick profits could be if a clever take a decision when to sell and when to hold basically someone has advantages and disadvantages to reading charts with this could happen in have psychologists they affect thinking and act to decide still hold or sell all assets.

I know many of my colleagues would prefer long time investing of crypto to trading. I try to teach them a thing or two about it but eventually quit after a few weeks. Some would buy while low and then wait for many months sometimes a year before selling them. It is a good thing to learn to buy and sell cryptocurrencies. Like the most basic of all trading rules - buy low sell high. If you were able to learn the ropes then you might consider doing day trading.

Crypto is not about hodling, or trading only if you have heard many roads? toward rome as crypto many ways to get right advantage in crypto as you say hodling, and trading i want to increase the right of mining as, consideration many platforms support crypto is not just about hodling, only even on the site, hodling not excessively prominent you can find and read a thread associated on the site

not really. it all depends on the development that occurs. however, people always hold on to popular coins believing that development will continue to be carried out by popular projects and that it will make people need them, and make it expensive. this does not apply to coins that are not fast developing.

Basically, some people prefer to hold the coins they have because they don't want to take high risks, when viewed from the profits that trading can be more profitable for those who are experienced than having to hold it for a long time. the possibility of holding is only done for those who save money by converting it into crypto or it can be said as deposits that will not be used in the near future

Indeed it is all about how you hodl and manage your crypto bag. Doesn't mean focus solely on trading or investment less important. If your timing right about which crypto bag on long hodl or short hodl, along with others, you maximize your gains.

You are absolutely right. It's game of holding. Decision to to sell at a checkpoint which says, yes, is key thing.
Based on the potential and upcoming developments of the project should be considered while deciding the tenure of holding.

Not in all cases, depends on the project, if it's worth holding, fine, else it's best to swing trades or dump for better projects.. Holding at times don't work for all projects. Also op is totally correct where it's states that knowing when to hold.. But what about knowing project to hold. Well, holding is good, but depends on the project and the season.

Yes, it is important to know when we should hold or sell. Cryptocurrency is not always holding, we must be able to choose the coin to hold ,otherwise we may hold some shitcoins until they gone to zero.
If we found a good project, then holding the coin from the beginning is the best action to do.

Without any second thoughts I would agree that cryptocurrencies is for long term hodling if you really want to earn more than what you are expecting. If you are good in hodling then I can assure you will gain and earn more profit.

If you have the patience and the control not to sell when you are tempted to sell whether the market is in bull or bear until you realized profit then yes you know the art of Hodling, it takes years to develop it sometimes you need to shut your eyes in the market when you think that you want to cut your losses.

I sure am hodling for the next bull run cycle but it ma be another year before we reach a new ATH in this cycle. Now Bitcoin/Altcoin cycles will be slower and longer and eventually less volatile. It's in the volatility though that we will make the money if we play it smart. Hodling is good but we don't want to also make the mistakes many of us made in 2017 holding and not selling anything at ATH. So this time I am taking profits and growing bags and staking, yield farming, getting rewards for holding now which makes holding valuable and offsets the risks a bit as well. This is important always, to look at the risk/reward ratio of our hodling.

If you know the art of trading, then holding cryptocurrencies makes no sense at all, you will always be having same number of cryptocurrencies when you are holding, but if you trade then your bankroll will also improve along with the number of coins that you hold in your wallet as well. So I guess, newbies should hold their crypto but with experience they should try to gain the knowledge of trading too along with holding your coins, this will maximize the profits that you earn from cryptocurrencies.

Crypto is not only about hodling, its about right entry/exit point too

Everyone saves cryptocurrencies for a few days. Those who always save in the hope of making more profit have to save for a long time. This is also a little more likely to hurt you.  But nowadays everyone knows the matter of conservation so they know when to save and when to give it up.

I dont completely agree with the OP although there are a few point that could be considered correct. Profiting from crypto especially through trading is common. But without skill and experience I think it will be very difficult to get it.

Trading and investing are two different ways that have the same purpose. Trading should be focused and careful in deciding which crypto to choose. You have to do a good analysis of the price, the potential and the opportunities that exist but when you want to invest you just have to wait until your target is achieved. Not all of the altcoin we invest in are profitable in the long term, but I believe the top 10 can help. Its just that it takes capital and courage.

Crypto isn't all about holding, it's about been smart, when to exit the market and when to reinvest, you can't hold coins in your wallet and wait 10years later, they might be dead or abandoned before that time, this is why its always good to monitor your portfolio

I would agree on that, cryptocurrency is much more than hodling because if crypto is basically hodling, then there would be lots and lots of millionaires now in my opinion. Trading is trading and it is not just holding crypto bought at low prices and then waiting years until it gets to the moon. If it is as simple as hodling then people won't be quitting and giving up on crypto since they invested. Crypto is a an opportunity and every opportunity needs a skilled individual to make that opportunity work.

For me it is about hodling too. I just don't have the time and energy to be always up to date and ready to buy the dip and actively trade.
Therefore i only invest in projects of which i think that they can substantially grow in the future or in the next bullmarket.
Also if i cash out my investments before 1 year is gone i have to taxes on the profits i made.. so that's another reason why i'm a hodler.

Hodling is the key, but you should know when to sell. Basically hodling a certain coin for too long can lead to losses. You will also miss a lot of opportunities to get your profit and buy back at a lower price. At some point you need to take out your profit and it also depends on what you are hodling.

Trading can be more profitable if you know how to analyze the charts correctly, but then this is more complex in crypto since there not much fundamentals to consider. Technicals can work sometime but the volatility makes it impossible to predict the exact movement.
Holding on the other hand is more of speculating, it's a bit risky since there are not much basis of the future situations that will affect the price action.
But then it's less stressful compared to day trading.

I agree. There is only one cryptocurrency which you can hold for extended periods of time, and that happens to be Bitcoin. Regarding all the other altcoins, you need to sell them at the right time. If you refrain from doing so out of greed, then in the end there is a good chance that these coins will lose their popularity and they will end up getting delisted from the exchanges.

I really like this, "Don't invest what you cannot afford to looose" because it is the foundation of all business
So every time you make an investment you must be ready to lose your money at any time even if you have to lose your assets within 1 second
I think any asset can lose its value in a very short time
in cryptocurrency if you are ready to lose your assets it means you are ready to make a profit. it's all about risk and whatever you do has risks

Hodling nowadays kills financially beyond what one can even imagine. It is better to sell and refill one's bag when the price is cheaper. Most people that hodl most of the tokens aside the major cryptocurrencies usually end up regretting while those we tag the dumpers refill their bags and get higher earnings than the hodlers.

Crypto market is very volatile and i think holding will not guaranty you to earn huge profit. What if the value of coins you hold drop down drastically and after that ,it difficult to recover? Maybe if you hold bitcoin and ethereum, you have a good chance to earn from holding. In crypto,you should always be ready if what will happen to your investment because investing in crypto is not all about profit. Invest carefully and take all the risk and always "Invest only the amount that you can afford to lose".

I tend to have a different opinion, I think the cryptocurrencies we invest in can be whatever we make of it. That is, I can invest in a new project and decide to hold, that is what I want. Also, another person might invest in the same project and decide to stake it, that's what he want. In the same way, another person might invest in the same project and decide to trade it, that's also what he want. Thus, it can be seen that different people are having different strategic mindsets regarding a particular project. In addition, there are still people who will not only stake, or hold but also trade the token. Therefore, cryptocurrency is more than just holding.

I think it will depends on the users themselves. If the user is a crypto trader, surely they will trade their coins and won't holding.
On the other hand, investors should hold their coin to gain maximum profit because it will takes time for a project to become success.

Holding coin to me is not really a way to earn here instead it is for trader may it be a long term or short term hold. The best idea to get profit is when buying while crypto is cheap and selling when crypto get a good market price or if it will hit the target price you wanted to sell. The problem is that when you get a higher target it will be difficult to achieve and may take some time before it could be achieved. So if one really wishes to get profit is try to wait when will market is crashing and then buy some crypto using your money that you can afford to lose.
