alot of people really want to hold but the daily needs of life make them sell off at little profit and solve their needs which is really good. but later they notice the coin they sold cheap is worth enough to liberate them. this kind of occurences are painful but its really not his fault. this brings me to the question of maybe holding is for the rich who can afford to buy and forget. ? lets discuss this, thank you.

That's the reality of holding and even me, I also encounter that and though I felt regret I moved on because I know it was a great help for me in able to solved the financial problem during at that time.

That's financial management and not just because you aren't rich and if you can able to spare even 5% fund from your monthly salary to invest in Bitcoin, that's a better way of saving while you also investing.

This is the reason why people think Bitcoin is a good asset because they think that adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset but holding isn't that just easy especially if you are an average wage earner.

Hold is not easy, in terms of what? maybe if the person or holders are impatient especially if He/She holding the coins for a years now.
That is why as an individual traders here must know what type of trader He/She is, like day trader or long term. And must also have skills, full of idea, and knowledge as well something like that.

True, I have the exact same experience as yours. When the daily routines tackle your financial then unfortunately we have to use the savings from our different sources such as holding assets. People say it's easy to hold but if they think on our perspective, then they will probably feel the same way as ours.

Hard to hold when you have nothing else but the BTC you have and if there isn't anywhere you could get money for your everyday needs, you will be forced to sell at a low price instead. It happens to many people including me. The economy caught us off guard really so if its possible to get two jobs while you invest a little of your income to BTC will still be worth and this is where you really can hold confidently.

Only the rich can who can afford to buy and forget? yes maybe as well as the saying "Buy only what you are ready to lose" when it comes to investments.


Holding bitcoin or any other investments is that you are mentally ready for losses and thoughts like bitcoin going down and up back to its value 30k and it's really painful for those people (For example)who bought it on 40k and the value drop on 30k.

Or if you did not make any research in holding bitcoin well there is a first time for everything experiences is the best way to learn. Like a saying goes "Learn from your mistakes" and we all know that when we make mistakes we tend not to do it again and make something better out of it.

It is easy if you have a reliable source of income where you can always take out a small portion of your income or salary and buy BTC or any other coins of your interest. You definitely can HODL long enough if you used the only money you have to buy BTC.

It can be comparable to how governments or companies deduct part of your salary to save for your retirement benefits or security funds. I guess it comes to one's will power. If you have very strong will power to HODL for 5 or 10 years, nothing can stop you.

Anyone can hodl. It's just occasionally and for sure emergency why some people sold their coins. It's likely taking profits if you are doing trading.
For me, I am a long-term hodler of Bitcoins, but at the same time, I treat Bitcoin too as my emergency funds like if there is anything that happens that needed some huge amount of money that I can't afford with my fiat or of my daily source income.
We can't blame those people, as long as they used their funds on good and useful things/services.

Yes, i believe that Holding is not easy for Everyone, if Someone want to Hold a coin then i think need More patients. Holding means patients.
If Somebody want to Hold a Coin, then first Can Buy coin and Forget the following coin for Long time and not need to check this Coins price daily or Weekly. Just Buy and Forget this Coin.       

It is difficult if you are hodling only one cryptocurrency and you have no other way to make money instead of that coin. Fortunately for me, I have the opportunity to hodl more than one cryptocurrency so whenever the need to take out some money, I just have to choose which one and hodl the other.

Holding means mid-term or long-term so if you give up your holding plans and sell your coins earlier than your original plans, it is easily to explain why your holding ends with a draw, loss or very small profit.

Holding will end with serious losses if you choose a bad coin AND buy at it all time high. When bull market goes away, and bear market comes, your shit coin holding will end with serious loss or zero.

When you do your investigation good enough and you choose good coins for your holding portfolio, you need to keep up with your plans. It is easy or not easy and depends on your personal traits.

If you are disciplined guy, it is easy and oppositely, it will be a hard task.

I think it all depends on how you started your investment. If you went all in, even borrow money just to invest (which is a wrong approach to investing), then you can get pressured into cashing out your investment before time. Always have reserved funds to fall back to, some call it emergency funds. If you have this then you'll not have to touch your investment until it has matured to your tastes.

If you have $100, don't go investing all, problem is one thing we can't avoid as there is problem that needs money everywhere we go to. Plan yourself, holding isn't just for the Rich. Infact the poor needs it more than the rich.

Holding is very easy to do, you don't basically have to forget about the coins because if you do, it might cause you big loss. Some coins are steadily migrating which if you're holding your coins in personal wallets, you have to execute some transaction to get your new coins on some aspect while others are airdropped automatically.

Just ignore it, not the coins themselves but rather the value. Think of it as something like a collectible, like those pokemon cards you used to collect when you were a kid. Move them to a better place when needed to, and put up enough guarantee that they wouldn't be lost. That's it. Holding becomes difficult if you act like you're bloody gonna get rich in a week or two so you keep on watching the market. I say don't. Holding is called Holding for a reason, it's for a long term, and a very long one at that.

Check the market maybe every month or two, but always stick to the timeframe you were holding for (though its a case-by-case basis imo).

Life is unfair, but how can an investment “liberate” you from your financial situation if you sell that “investment”? It’s not the “investment’s” fault that it stopped being an “investment” because you need to sell. I believe it’s time for you to think about your current situation, and look for a job, or a second job.  

This statement itself is questionable. If the people need to survive on selling their investment, why would they start investing in the first place? Your worry is somewhat understandable, but as others mentioned, just because you don't make $30k a month doesn't mean you should not invest and hold some shares. If the decrease of the price trouble you, then cut your loss and find other portfolios that are more suitable for your risk appetite.

If spending $1k worries you a lot, maybe you should lower your investment so you can hold with ease. Be smart, find the basket that's right for you, manage your portfolio regularly. If you really want to buy and forget, then just spend $100 or so and gamble it for the next few years.

Holding was possible but of course not an easy thing especially if you are very dependable on the ROI of your hodling investment or for a short term investment only. Hodling will be the best option for all the investors who doesn't only have investment but they have another source of income to meet their daily needs. And at the same time, you can't rely on the ROI of hodling if you are expecting for an easy ROI because ROI of hodling are a time mannered investment.

Pressure is the worst thing you face with for your investment or trading. If you do anything relates to investment or trading under pressure (here I don't mention what is pressure and where is it from), results can be bad as long as you are not a superb professional guy.

Value or fundamental investors do prefer holding or hodling. The longer you hold, the better profit you might have. Why the period of holding makes sense or decides the profit you earn?

You can not know when the companies you are investing in do product releases, press releases or any break-out moments. If you hold 1 or 2 years, and such break-out moments (only discuss about new products) in the third year, you miss a great opportunity to exit your investment with very good ROI. Exit in the first or second year can still give you profit but not big.

In cryptocurrency, Ethereum and BNB are very good examples for altcoins. If you hold them in the past 3 or 4 years, you have yet gotten any losses and in fact you have very good ROI.

Holding or hodling is only good or best if you choose good cryptocurrencies and your choices must be based on fundamental analyses. Any decision that is made arbitrarily and looks like a gambling is not good to hold for any period.

It is really hard when you are not committed to doing it and we can't deny that only a few people are having such kind of mindset while the majority are in the hurry to make money from their investment.

I don't actually agree that holding is for the rich people only, poor people can do as well. But most of the time, poor people will easily give up due to some financial problems and they often sell their investment rather than keep holding. The advantage of rich people is having multiple sources of income which makes them not only rely on crypto and they can afford to hold it without even bothering to check their investment.

holding is not always making a lot of money because most of the altcoins are not worth holding. holding bitcoin is the only profitable in the long run.

As for the strategy, it is to keep spending to a minimum and not to try to spend except in emergency situations such as the illness of a close person or others.
Human behavior towards money and financial intelligence is what determines the success of holding.

Its all about in a good management plan. As for me, my daily needs has been separated with my funds of holding. I make sure, when I set a goal profit it will be stick to that plan and will never sell it off at deficit price.

When there are times that I badly needed money for an urgent situation, there is a separate fund for that. However, I understand others that needed to sell off some of their bitcoin to compensate their needs. As long as it is for a better solution, there will always a good chance to accumulate more bitcoin if market corrections occur.

Totally agree with you.. It's been my mantra for all these years and this alt season, am gonna sell what I don't need or maybe those who don't deserve to be held. I sold some OKB yesterday and Waves is pumping right now so might be its Waves turn today. Utrust has also pumped with some volume but didn't go up as much as I had expected so waiting for that.

I would probably hold BTC, ETH, and USDT for most of my portfolio, and then it will be BNB and maybe some top alts, that's all.

That is a better advantage for them while investing they had I guess a lot of money, they don't bother to sell their crypto assets because they had a different source of income. They always afford what they invest because for them, that is a small amount aside for their own pocket.

When we are talking about the rich vs poor mindset, it's totally different. Because rich people always think that risking money to have always a great opportunity and ready to commit is rich. They are the very opposite thing.

So basically, investment in crypto was depended on your financial status.

Wrong. It's not only for the rich.
It comes down to how you will manage it.

You don't buy coins using your budget for daily needs. You buy them with your excess money instead of keeping them in banks.
That way, you want to make a profit by taking some risk. Fear is what makes others sell. Greed could also be one reason behind it.
I had been holding Ethereum for a long time and it didn't occur to me that this kind of value will happen.
My target was $1k but I didn't sell. Why? Because I don't need it yet, that's my spare money that was used to buy it and now it's still growing.

Well, I knew this feeling where you have difficulties holding your money because there will be a time that you need money but you've got nothing so you'd pull your investment and use it. However, you don't need to invest and hold all of your money, diversify your money would be a good solution for this one, the money you should only have to hold in crypto is your savings instead of sitting it in the bank. Besides, you don't need to hold your it for a long time just set your target profit, in that way you won't have a problem managing your funds.

Rich people will be getting richer as they will continue to grow their business and invest more. They never think about spending but most likely they are focus to grow their portfolio which very different from how poor people do. But this doesn't mean those poor people can't do the holding, of course, they can make it but the question is how long they can manage to hold their fund with pulling it out in times of difficulties. In times when we don't have any option to take. This is very challenging on the part of them but for the rich people, it is very easy for them.

Therefore, when we see that hold is very difficult to do, we are advised to use idle money, or free money. because our economy does not know the future, so when we need money we are not burdened because we hold

Holding is good not only for the rich people but also for those financially capable and with a lot of patience. Holding is not appropriate to the people who just trade to earn a little profit from their small capital daily.  What if the value of token you hold suddenly drop down? Of course you need to wait for it to pump again to avoid loses. It also takes time.

This is a very accurate perspective. Down times for other may just be few losses of coins but for others it is losing everything they have. Holding is not easy, but is more difficult for other to do and take its consequences.

Well for me personally HODL was always easy, cause i just forget about it and live my life like nothing happened. For the ones who cant seem to keep their hands off - I offer you staking with high penalties, like HEX. Or maybe you are investing too much in terms of % of your income, thus you cant keep up with unexpected life demands. Always have some money on the side, invest only the extra money you have.

Planning your investment will help you to survive whatever kind of trends are happening inside the market.

You said it right, using spare money mostly the key factor by those who managed to maximize their profits, they are not in need as they continue
holding their asset and see how huge the market brings to them.

If you have that same invested money, there's no need doing anything. Keep your investment for long term journey and it will materialized favoring you.

Holding on will be difficult if you start all at once, because you will think the money you are using is quite large even though you don't need it at that time. The most helpful strategy for long-term hold is to use a small portion of each trading profit to accumulate 1 good crypto incrementally but consistently by choosing the right timing (ie, any corrections) and placing it in a different wallet.

You are completely wrong, holding is for those that understand the nature of investing, if you are invested in the best asset in the entire world then why sell it? What can you get out of it that is going to better than what you already have? Nothing, and with that in mind it is incredibly easy to keep holding.

Also we need to learn to take responsibility for our actions, to me you are trying to justify the behavior of the people that sold their coins for a bad price when you say holding is only for the rich, holding is for everyone and if you cannot do it then you need to figure out why before it is too late and the price of bitcoin becomes prohibitively high.

Not really, holding should not be for the rich, but what is true is for those who are able to be patient. Actually holding is not about buying it and forgetting it. Although not as often as when you trade, holding also needs to be considered, which is about the coin or currency that you hold, if the coin is promising and has been listed on a top exchange, such as Bitcoin, you don't need to worry, it will lose your capital, because the price can be. back to normal and up quickly. However, if you are holding a new currency, you also need to pay attention to it, the same as trading, because in the future the coin will be unpredictable in the future.

Do not take too long to sell it, provided that you have earned enough profit for yourself. If demanded by your needs, I think it is very difficult to hold your coins to continue to be invested. Therefore, do not invest all your money, save half of your money for sudden needs later. Even if it's lacking, you can also take part of the profits you get through the holding coin. Do not sell everything, just take the profits, for your initial capital, you can still maintain it to continue your investment.

Buy and forget, not only who rich but almost all people can do it. Holding really best to do if people already fulfilled their daily needs and first thing that people always warn is only use free money which is we wouldn't use it to anything. I think a lot of people already know how to manage their money so holding is not a problem for everyone nowadays.

If you arent rich, it completely depends on how much do you believe in the crypto or stock. ETH was kinda bound to rise as there were talks since ages about how under valued it is compared to Bitcoin. Another issue that was holding it back was the tx fees which are still pretty high but people are able to look past the barrier and into the crypto in itself. Raising its demand. IF you are looking to gamble and you cant afford to lose, because of the pressure you tend to take higher risks for higher rewards. This time around its been mostly greens for even the riskier cryptos and I'm sure a lot of traders were handsomely rewarded for hodling.

Setting up amount to save and watching  them grow will motivated you to start to save and save again and again, it’s hard at first but when we able to see how much we already save we will be inspired or addicted to have more or to acquire more. It is hard but everything hard can-be worth trying. Being prepared is better than not having anything when we totally need it so keep holding till the price increases or till the time we need it to use.

Holding is really a big thing specially when it comes to crypto for the prices of different coins can have the potential to exponentially increase which is good for you can attain profit once you endure the temptation of selling and waiting for a perfect time to let loose and obtain your profit. But that is just easy to be stated for we are having different scenarios and enduring such is not an easy thing to be done but that is fine. As long as you can endure, then hold, but if the need is calling for you to sell, then do it. Do not make yourself suffer for you still have plenty of times to try again the next time around.

Everyone has a different target for investment either short-term ( 1 year), and long-term investment (5 or more). I really don't know why but people are much more comfortable with a short-term deal, this might be because of the volatility of the market? Or they are badly in need of money that they need to pull out their money (this often happens to the poor people). And it can't deny that rich people would even willing to wait for many years holding as they don't have any problem financially unlike the others.

You're good to sell for your needs, there's no one that stops you to hold forever. The reason why you hold is to sustain some things that you need or get at least a profit from the market.

But it's a better strategy if you have other things that refers to be your source. Holding is for everyone who's low and high, that's why it's a strategy that can be done even with small investors.

Holding good coins is not easy especially if you plan to hold in the next 3 years at first but life forces you to make a big decision on selling that holdings to support for your needs.

I do experience a lot of this and right now I regret some of those big decision before but i have no choice that time so I have to move on now and start buying again. I’ve learned from this experience that good coins will always come and you can always buy then any time so keep working and never give up just because you sold early, that’s still a good profit.

According to me holding is an easy task. Only thing one needs to do is enable all the possible safety features available for the wallet and keep it aside. When you need to do different procedures to take out the fund you'll not use it seriously. This is how I prefer to hold my crypto assets for long term.

Myself used to hold for certain time period, after that in the name of increasing the capital I withdraw and use it into gambling. This is the bad decision and if I've used on trading I could've earned good.

For me holding is not an easy task. Because if you holding a coin for 2 or 3 years, not easy to tackle with their pump or dump. Sometimes in pump you think that this price is enough to sell, if go lower it gives more problems what is happening now. Everybody in this world can not hold the coin perfectly. Holder always win the race. $150 usdt doge from 2015 has win the race at present time.

what is the purpose of hodling when you are going to cash out it daily ? its not a big deal if price increases everyday but price falls too .
this will only make them more poorer  .
 what they need is to seperate the money that they will be needing in the real world from the money that they are going to invest . holding is an easy thing if you are commited because this dont require physical or mental work  

investment is free money. therefore we must have met our needs and still have savings. and that is the money that should be used to invest. that way we will feel calm even though fluctuations occur, because what we use is like pocket money

While holding has been the best strategy to stand a chance of making huge profit from the market lets not forget, we have tokens that have caused great losses by holding them. That's they lost their value over time, these tokens are numerous in number and majority are just coins that got hyped which means if you're interested in holding a coins, you have to have done your research properly and concluded the project is worth your years of time investment plus capital investment.

Many investors especially the noobs just buy any token they see trending with the hopes of it doing similar success stories like the doge, Bnb, bitcoin or Ethereum story forgetting that this coins that has increased this much had great community. They had community of believers and not those just wanting to make quick profits and move on. Which is one fo the similarities between the current shitcoin getting hyped and held by most newbies.

When I was on that situation it is really hard for me to let go of my coins especially if it is a good coin. But then I realized that if I insisted to hold it and not used it during times that I needed it the most, I may not be on where I am right now. Way back in college I used it in my thesis so I graduated on time. Maybe it did not happened if I hold it. After that, I got a job and since I am financially stable I can now hold my coins for a longer time without hesitation that I may sell it anytime again. So I think every situation has a purpose.

In fact, it is so, it is necessary to have the utmost patience in order to receive superprofits, taking into account the current volatility. I always try to consolidate profits, but it also often happens that I am in a hurry to drain everything, I try to fight this, because in fact, you can make even more profits.

I have the same sentiments. I sold some of my coins not because I want to but because its needed for finances not knowing the value will grow and be worth huge.

Thats really painful but what else can I do? it already happened and cant turn back time. Now I have a firm decision to hold and forget, I can do better now since my financial status is somehow improve compared before that im always counting on my crypto earnings.

Holding is not easy but if you're determine to succeed using this strategy then you must be firm and forget that you have crypto investment until you reach your set target price to sell.

I am not rich, but I don't feel that holding is something that is supposed to be worried about by me in the first place.
It sometimes depends on how you hodl, OP.
Did you convert almost all your money to crypto, then that is something that you should be really worried about.
Market is unstable in the first place and by knowing that you couldn't win at all times might make you change your mind on how much you should invest in here.

If you don't have any necessary expenses that need to be addressed then hodling is easy and it will be easier if you are busy doing other things that will get your mind out of thinking of selling your bitcoin. Distract yourself with other things so you don't have to think about all the time.

And it also depends on the situation and if that also is not our priority to HOLD rather than to focus on spending, it surely getting hard.

Holding or saving is really hard at first especially when you don't have other sources of income. But it could be habitual once you make it as our first priority. It just like we need to sacrifice others (wants) in order to do this otherwise, it remains just a dream and hopeless thing to do.

It really doesn't make sense to lack basic necessities, and at the same time have a significant amount of a cryptocurrency stored somewhere. Therefore, it is quite normal for people to do such things, especially those who cannot afford long-term investments. Here we come to the essence of your question, can the poor get rich with a little money invested - or do the rich get even richer just because they already have enough money to live life the way every person should live it?

I would not generalize what the outcome is for the poor, but there is a good chance that they are not able to profit like those who have a surplus of money to gamble, so to speak. I can definitely agree that holding is not an easy thing, for the poor for sure - but sometimes also for the rich who misjudge the moment and get caught up in the FUD.

actually it's not enough reason to sell off even you need some cash in your pocket just to sustain your daily needs .. Because if you really serious when it comes hodling then no matter what you will never touch it.. And if you really have the mindset of being true hodler it will never happen also in my opinion wherein until you achieve your goals even how long it will takes, it doesn't matter..

Unfortunately mostly now are not serious when it comes to this kind of investment and i agree what you've said above OP, Perhaps its a big lesson for them to take this seriously that's why they experience such things.. Too good to be true..
  

The thing here is that OP is depending only to his investment but at the same time it's his source of daily needs too. This is a very bad idea because just like what you said it's getting worse over time specially if the market suddenly dump. That's why the only way or recommendation I could give is to have another job that would sustain their daily needs. Then separate the investment only money and hodl it for a long term until Op is satisfied already with what price he'll be able to sell.

Long-term holding is the most difficult for me.  Honestly, I sold coins in dip lot of the time in the past.  However, I can explain the rules of holding.
  You have to believe in that currency.
  You need to analyze the previous market.
  And to sell that coin you have to take a price target. If you hold a coin for lifetime, it is worthless.

No. Holding is for the people who plan up everything perfectly.

It means you may buy some $100 worth of bitcoins (for example) but you must plan up for $50 worth of bitcoin for $1 million target and $25 worth for $100k target and some $10 worth of bitcoin with 10% gain from your buying prices which maybe used for immediate commitments of your life.

So, without proper planning, never go for any investments which will definitely end up in hard regretting on either side. Like, if you choose a shit coin then you will regret for your bad decisions or if you invest into bitcoins but if you sell earlier then again will lead to regretting. But, when you sell along with your plans then you may avoid those hard feelings.

It is true that altcoin or bitcoin holding is something that is not easy, but holding when bullish is very profitable,
I suggest multiplying your coins during the bullish season, and look at the market now !, Bitcoin prices drop causing altcoins to drop drastically except for Doge and Ethereum,
buy coins that are still cheap now then HOLD, don't let you sell it at a low price

Holding in the times of bearish is too hard, I agree but you need to make use of dips then you will never find bearish markets as hard as looks now. It means you can do cost-averaging at the times of bearish markets. If you keep buying at dips along with holding, you will get cheaper buying prices for all your bitcoins in average. This is one simple method, most people are already into practice. Just learn and enjoy the benefits of long term holding among both bullish and bearish markets.

Fund management is very important. I do similar strategy like you.
To me, sometimes when bad situation arrives it's difficult to maintain but i will try to maintain

I feel you since I had similar experience and with Covid around needed some money to take from crypto. Life comes first at the end so no bad feeling from me even I would have been in a big profit now.

Yes indeed, if you are in a situation where you needed to choose between life and anything that you holds. You need to sacrifice and think positively, you can buy again and try to collect more.

As long as there's life the opportunities is always open to everyone, regret should not be for long, move forward and try to cope up who knows what are those waiting.

Continue and be more practical, a good test that will lead you to more successful journey inside this industry.

Managing everything under control must be a big challenge for all of us hence holding cannot be an exception here. Only for the people who are all having alternate income stream might be able to continue their crypto holding at all times and people do not have such other income stream might need to face life's other demand time to time. I must agree that holding is not that easy for all of us.

Yes, I have experienced this several times because I am not a rich person with a lot of money. But I don't agree that holding is only good for rich people, because slowly if you continue to learn and have money management for your life needs, then I believe holding will still be possible for those who are not basically rich people. But yes, what is certain is to make a lot of deposits first before they end up being spent on buying and holding. With a more mature plan it will keep your investment profitable, it doesn't mean you just buy without a financial plan because obviously it will be dangerous in the future.

Always set out plans even if you do just tend to hold on what you have currently accumulated, dont just simply accumulate blindly because everything should really be in plan and moderation.

When it comes to investment then nothing beats out when you do know on how to handle up risk and dont expect much on getting rich instantly.It is a long process and depending on what are the

steps you've been doing in the past. Holding is indeed not an easy thing but if you do set out goals which makes you inspire then i dont see for it to be really that hard.

Such traders are always part of all markets and those people are finding success regardless of they are actively trading or simply holding because it is up to their level of skills and we cannot have any general opinion here. Moreover everyone is here for making profit so it may sound like being greedy for some people and may not for others.

I must agree that holding is not a simple thing when you are fully depending on the returns of your trading/holding. Managing your holding along with other savings/income could be the only solution here rather than going for loans with the expectation of repaying from the returns of your holding may worsen the situation rather than leading to any solutions.

Yes, for rich people it's easier! They can invest and hold for years... they will still have money for everything else! On the other side many people live from day to day, so money enough to eat and pay bills today, for tomorrow you need to find money! So for those people, it's really hard to put anything valuable aside and just wait... it's hard to wait with an empty stomach!

It's hard when you are starting from zero, or even worse, from minus! But it's not impossible, there're exceptions, especially in crypto... there's always a way, but a person should be able to find it and push it!

rich people and wealthy countries have a lot of advantage in either doing Hodl or doing day trade, imagine that someone rich would take 50 million US dollars and buy bitcoin for the price of $ 10,000 and decide to do hodl for many years, that person will be richer with this big increase that the bitcoin price had... that old phrase: "money calls money" that in my country many people like to talk. when someone doesn't have a lot of money and invests and then bills appear to pay that person will withdraw the investment money to pay bills


a small bankroll Is a headache, the person has to work hard and the profits are few, which makes it very stressful. the same applies to making Hodl, imagine that the person has $50 and decided to buy bitcoin for the price of $54000 to make hodl, if in 2023 the price of bitcoin is  $150.000 that person will keep $150, waited more than 1 year to get $150. Is a little demotivating, unless the person invests in some altcoin that generates 10X profit in that case it would be worth just making hodl with small amount of money

Holding is not for the rich, but rather for people who have an income. Because people who have an income can certainly manage their finances,
and usually the money used to buy coins is extra money. So the money from the start was not for buying daily necessities. So if you are holding,
but selling it because to buy daily necessities, you should not invest in crypto first. It's better to focus on looking for work that does have
a bigger income, so you have extra money to get holding coins.

Well, that's just the harsh reality of hodling. You buy a coin but then because of pressing needs or even just some daily need that needs to be attended to, you'd sell off at a price after making a little profit only to find out after some time that the price has actually increased such that you could have made much more by just waiting.
I, however, believe that if one have the mentality that the price of a coin will always rise, such person won't at any time sell because all coins, except stable coins, have the potential to rise. And that means you'd have money digitally and not be able to use the money even when you need it.
What I do in such cases is that I sell the coin and I stop monitoring it.
Maybe hodling is really for the rich who can buy and hodl for a long time.

I know it's not something easy to do, because we have to really be patient and know which direction the coins we hold are going,
whether Bullish or Bearish, we have to really buy those coins at a cheap price or at the bottom, if not then your hold will be useless.
not all coins can increase 10x or 5x, there are even coins that do not increase at all and ROI is still negative.

Your theory is a very solid foundation for success but its level of detail is not too high, which made many investors more illusions about wealth through crypto, they don't think they'll get rich right away but they still think they'll be rich in just a few weeks and a few months or just through some of the signals other people provide daily. The stop in holding will be what makes this method not easy, the stop is something too vague and depends on the investor's mood, knowing that stopping early is good and vice versa.

A hodler that is financially incapacitated will have no option than sell some coins to cushion the effect, honestly it is not easy for less privilege individuals to hodl of course they has to survive whatever conditions they found themselves, however that does not mean selling off their portfolio, it's appropriate to hodl some coins at least to have something to fall back in case of any eventuality

That's just the way it is, before thinking of holding you have to make sure you won't be needing that money for a very long time meaning you have to make sure you are financially stable, but life is very unpredictable our needs and wants are unsatisfiable, from time to time we need money to settle some issues on ground cause whether we like it or not problems will always be there and money is needed to solve them, so it's really hard to hold a coin for long term except you have a spare cash which you could use to sustain yourself until you finally decide to sell your crypto holdings.

Its a quite a hard thing in the market.
If you cnat hold. You will regret for sure.
So learn how to hodl.
First step is not checking market more than twice a day.
It will decrease your chances of selling in small corrections

Holding won't be as easy as that. It's easy to say hold your coins but definitely hard to perform most especially if you don't have funds for emergency cases. But if you aim to make a lifetime savings through holding, it's a good start but make sure to manage your funds properly so you won't end up selling your coins after few months from holding. The profit might not that big but still very useful.

Holding is definitely meant for the rich in my opinion .I was paid bounty rewards last year from the forum and was able to hold it for a few months because I was very sure that after the launch of the project platform price will go up .The need to pay my school tuition fees arises and I was left with no option but to sell all the coin for just sixty-five dollars,today the coins almost worth Four hundred dollars .If I had enough at that time I would not have sold my coins that cheap.

Holding is only for those that have the attitude to hold even when the market is showing signs of weakness. I do not think, it helps in labelling rich people as holders as I believe that if you can't go about your daily life without having to rely on your crypto investment then no investment would be good enough for you.

Crypto is volatile and you can't rely on it for your daily existence. The holders are only those that can afford to lose that investment - that's what investment should always be about. If you can't afford to lose it, then you can't say you're investing properly.

Holding is never going to be easy for anyone thinking crypto is a get rich quick type invest, sorry to break your bubble but you will be dissapointed!

Investing in crypto is not so different  from investing in anything like a business, this takes time except bitcoin has proved to have a better ROI over time than anything else IRL.

Only money is more than your life so long-term investments will be much better because they will not be pursued by needs even though there are weaknesses in the market, we do have to have a defensive attitude in holding and it's not as easy as what you imagine unless you forget about it and remember again in a long time surely you will be strong in this.

There have been many who have done this, but they still cannot survive because of their attitude, that is why attitude must be important and also never be tempted by anything because if we look at it it will certainly make more panic and chaos how the asset reduces it.

I got the point. Holding is just a simple word but doing that as an actual strategy, it's not that easy to handle on the way.

Others will say, just hold and forget. But even after 5 years, they will see those coins as undervalued or the worst, dead.

This hold until 5 to 10 years strategy should only be applied at those dominant coins over years.

From the little experience am having holding a coin is not really a easy task because our daily need won't really make it easy to hold I believe am having thesame problem, I find holding a coin a difficult task because of my daily need when you make up your mind that you want to hold a coin due to your daily need and you don't have any other way to get money from you might endup selling little from the coin you are hold and that is how it really start till you sell all the coin you plan on hold. Have been thinking about where you can just keep your coin and forget about it but have not seen anywhere yet. Seriously only the strong can hold a coin.

Depends on who you ask? For me holding is quite easy, I do literally nothing when I hold, it is the easiest thing in the world. Some people panic and they sell, some people get hyped and buy with everything they own, and those people are not emotionally ready to be an investor that is the only problem, I personally do not see that as a problem, I believe it is not really a problem at all because all I have to do is live my life like nothing changed and that’s it.

I am not super rich or anything but I bought bitcoin when it was under 10k and I made a good amount of profit thanks to that, I also invested into BNB when it was 37 dollars so that was a good one as well, both of which made me a good profit yet I never sold nor had to do anything, I just keep them in my wallet and move on with my life, it is quite simple. I understand others, but if you reach to this mindset, it will become easy.

That is really matters if what coin that we have to hold. I commit myself to make it a habit but I use not put a time frame of how long I'm going to hold because that also depends on the market situation and since we are looking for a good price, we have to sell it when finally got the profit.

Having 5 years, 10 years on holding, it is probably not what I expecting for the holders, I'm not sure if someone can afford to do it.

Yep, of course, holding is not an easy task. Even trading is not simple. Hold, of course, we do for a long duration. This is the time we spend in a state of anxiety. It is not apparent to announce when the market circumstance is. Many times it is glimpsed that it is not going to be sold when it is needed. Furthermore, even if the price is high, there is no route to sell. Many periods the price of the coin never goes up again. All in all, one has to handle a dilemma. So literally holding is not an easy thing.   

Well, if you are spending that time in anxiety that is the problem right there, you need to learn about how you should not be feeling any anxiety at all and you will see that holding is a lot easier in that situation. I am not saying that it will be a piece of cake, of course it is going to be difficult but I believe it is not that difficult, I believe it is quite easy when you do not feel anything about it. Problem with anxiety is that if you let it overtake you, you can't do anything in your life and not just crypto holding and that is why you have to learn to calm that down.

I know it is not easy but at least if you know where to focus your situation, you could make some profit holding and can do that easier. I used to have the same feeling, after a while it became such normal feeling that I literally started to just ignore all my holdings when they go down or up.

Yeah, I agree that holding must be a kind of strategy hence we need to plan up many things to make it work for us properly. We cannot plan up for holding for years simply because what we are going to invest needs to be locked for years hence we must have some other sources to compensate what we are going to lock for years. I guess this is the point where many people are mistaking with holding which finally leading them to disturb their long term holding plans.

I think this is normal. Because everyone is facing this problem. That's why we should find a problem according to our self. Maybe thats why lots of people still working after investing in bitcoin or crypto. They might spend money from there job for there daily needs. Maybe this could be a strategy or we might be use another strategy like we can invest our 50-70% for holding 30% for our family needs. This might be little tough but we can check this. And in such case if we badly need money then we can sell some from our investment. I got this idea if others shares his opinion who says that might be interesting. Thank you.

Yes, that's correct and it happen with middle class people but you can buy after profit you can hold profit amount then forget it like rich person😊  

It's important to understand that selling to be able to live and continue holding and trading is completely normal.

Say you hold 10 bitcoins and need to sell 1 to pay your bills for another 2 years and be able to stay at home trading. Most of us would do it. Even if Bitcoin goes up and you feel like you've lost an opportunity of holding that 1 additional coin, you have not. If you decided to hold everything and had to borrow money from people it would have been even worse.

When you do not have any other income stream to cope up your monthly expenses then it would be better going for only up to 70% in long term holding. Still, there cannot be any restrictions you can cut your part of holding to realize into profits unlike how traditional banks are restricting, still leaving off with long term will definitely get you big returns when you are doing with bitcoin kind of reputed assets.

Long term holding is also a trading strategy but we do not consider it so. We need to make our other things in a way which will not disturb our holding strategy. Otherwise, long term holding will convert itself like short term trading.

holder will have many pressure than daily trading, in journey of project developtment there will alot fud coming in group , some member trying to make fud so they will get cheap price from weak hand. when we decided as long term holder, mental and psychology preparation was be obligation for us.without it , i am sure we will got loss due become panickers.

Hodling is the same thing as having a fixed deposit savings bank account where you throw in money you don't want to use for a long time and except some kind of interest, this practically goes to Altcoin investment if you don't have enough money there is no how you are going to hodl for a long time when you have bills to settle. You need more money to be a successful hodler.

That is why we are billionaires, we should learn about the financial management on that savings and investments are not same they are here for different purposes but for an average joe its hard to keep enough savings while raising the capital to become an investor so the life cycle stuck in a situation which can't be unavoidable. Just be happy that you survived that day because of your investment.

Yup i agree but however if you knew how long it will takes and what amount of profits you can make after all,  perhaps all of the efforts you need to put in it isn't a waste of time which is still worth instead .. Because you know if you are a true holder you already have calculations about the outcome of your investment and of course know how to place the right time to buy and sell to make it easy hodling.. If your not like that then its very dangerous.

It is difficult to trade if you don't know how you handle your risks and you are only depending on that coin as a source of income, then probably it is difficult to hodl but if you have a job and your job can sustain your daily needs, then you can probably afford to hodl for a long time.

Yeah this is the point you need a comfortable life to be able to hodl successfully if you have a well paying job then you can as well hodl for a long time without selling to sort out bills

Thats a very true OP I also have many experienced holding for some months and because of emergency reasons I sold my holdings and after some days it exploded thats why this altseason Im holding as possible I can so that returns are good enough same thing happens to my friend  I chatted yesterday he hold almost 1.6m of telcoin for almost 2 years and he sold it last year what unfortunate the price pump hard in the last few days. 

Theoretically what you are saying is possible but when it coms against market fluctuations then you need to re-evaluate everything time to time so that you could find chances for easy holding. Market may seem like trading too staring but suddenly it may correct which will makes all our calculations collapsed. This had happened to me many times.

But, when planning up with very small capital and that too with bitcoin investments then that may not remain too hard forever. Regular investment into bitcoins with long term holding plans, will definitely change our life toward millionaires.

i mentioned the point of having special needs to meet which is cogent and leads to selling what you planned to hold to settle the needs. this is the basis of the post. being a trader either day or long term follows a different, you dont need to hold for day trading else you will be swinging the trade. the point is that you cant hold when you a pressing issue to settle which involves money.

i mentioned the point of having special needs to meet which is cogent and leads to selling what you planned to hold to settle the needs. this is the basis of the post. being a trader either day or long term follows a different protocol, you dont need to hold for day trading else you will be swinging the trade. the point is that you cant hold when you a pressing issue to settle which involves money.

thats how it usually play out , having thought of it thoroughly, then i concluded its not an easy thing except if you without knowing or proper monitoring and you are just lucky to check and see it worth something good and take profit.

Hold is gold, It is very difficult to hold. We usually panic when the price goes down from the buy price. And if the price is higher than the buy price, we sell it. These two cannot be done. hold means long tream.

Make a clear analysis on the market in order to make a right investment. There are many scam coins but on the flip side, there are also an immense number of stunning projects. Spend some of your time and you will receive a corresponding reward

If you do not know where to start, just simply put your money in bitcoin. You will never regret

At the point when the day by day schedules tackle your monetary then tragically we need to utilize the investment funds from our various sources like holding resources. The economy found us napping actually so if its conceivable to land two positions while you contribute a tad bit of your pay to BTC will in any case be worth and this is the place where you truly can hold unquestionably.

Exactly, whenever I hold my funds with big amount, I can't hold all. Most of the time, it used for my daily needs though I tried to secure that but ultimately I can't. Other expenses also responsible for this. It is a matter of sorrow that I can't fullfiled but I can say that atleast I try everytime. Hopefully that trying can be beneficial for me one day.

Holding is not easy when frequent times urgent needs are coming up especially during this moment of time. Also, when one is constantly checking on prices, fear and impulsiveness ten to get into the way which will push in selling then regretting it later due to price changes.

side job or maybe regular job still needed if we still uncosistence with our trade. daily needs will be a problem for us , if we have no additional income. the cons that we hold should gain more than 2x, but we sell it earlier because we need money to fullfilled our needs.

It is actually easy if you know what you are doing and have proper knowledge about the market. You buy, store it somewhere safe, forget about it for years and then after few years have a look at it. It shouldn't matter if the price falls when you are holding, after all you invested what you could afford to lose right? If you couldn't bear the loss, why would you even invest in the first place? Moreover, keep this in mind. You don't sell, you don't make any loss.

True holders are only for those who have wealth without having to use the coins they have to meet their needs, in contrast to those who rely on the coins they have to fulfill their needs or something that must be realized.
I am one of those people who rely on the coins I have to fulfill my wants, including needs, and I will do it when I really need it if my coins have good potential and it all depends on their own circumstances and situation.
and their aim here is to make things better and help meet their needs and that is their right.

It's easy if we don't see the market, then we won't be psychologically disturbed, but what becomes a problem when we know the news and remember that we have these assets. and finally we open a wallet, and unconsciously it will disturb us psychologically

There are a lot of people saying that holding a coin just easy because all you need is to wait but again the mental state of the person who holds a coin sometimes does not handle the situation of the ups and downs of the market most of them getting a mental break down unexpectedly due to seeing the market price this is the reason why avoid viewing every time the market because you will get frustrated its good if you have a risk management and strong hands to handle this situation

That is true, holding is really a hard thing, this requires you a good discipline and good management because there are times that people will really need money in unexpected time to the point that they need to pull out their investment to use the money, there are also some who just pull out their investment when they just heard bad news about the currency they are holding, that is not a good thing and that is not a good investor is doing. You have to sacrifice, just think that you dont have money or you don't have investment so that you cannot use it for other things, well this thing is not good if you badly needed a money, but still you are the one who will decide what to do.

Holding is for investor and I don't 100% agree that holding is for the rich. I also hold before especially during my time in stock market and I am not rich. But I realize investing is not for me.

when we are holding coins, psychology is the hardest to control, we will feel uncomfortable if the market has grown by hundreds of percent, especially before the price has been dumped. so that we have to train psychology many times in order to mature according to our plans before deciding on long-term investments

For sure hodling isn't an easy task because you have to Isolate a certain funds for a long period of time in order for it to fetch more profit, what we all need Is profit yes, but so bad some sold out too early and later will turn regretting when that same coin keep performing greatly, well no doubt most people do sell off in order to solve some certain problems which there face, but for me I think before investing we should be able to manage the problem at hand and we should also have a target for our investment, if it hits the target then it's left for us to make the decision because most times the coins we sell too early turns out to be the real gem.

I agree it is all about perfect management of money and risk levels. If you are having prior experience about managing your investment against your all commitments then probably you will have better plan to tackle both of your sudden and regular expenses. But most people are ignoring those kind of commitments when they are planning for investments because they are getting excited about future returns they are going to enjoy out of investments which makes them to forget about their regular commitments.

Investment planning must include what we are going to do in case of emergency. Unfortunately most naive investors are not bothering such kind of planning.

for the rich, I think they can do that. however, I agree that when we hold assets in the long run, the first hurdle we face is the daily needs we have. however, it is very difficult to stop, and encourages us to sell our assets, even at low prices. What's worse is, when we sell the assets we have, the price goes up.

Absolutely correct if you are still new in this game or not knowing about risk management and diversification. My mistake back then when I was a newbie is that I greedily hold too much without having to TP during it’s peak price. As a result, I only cashed out less in my trading rather than it’s peak price. I would rather hold long term coins like BTC, ETH, BNB, etc., with real fundamentals than just the new ones on the market.

It is not about the daily needs. You have to first understand how to manage your finance so as to join the investing world. There are many people living under condition but they still stick to the plan and persistently hold a coin without any flux in their mind. They know that by holding, they are able to escape the poverty and improve their living condition

I think the main reason why people give up holding is that they are too greedy. They can't be patient enough and withdrawing money is the only thing appearing in their mind.

Being greedy is something in the case of you are letting your investment as it is without going for booking profits when you are already around the target levels (due to greediness, investors may modify their targets into higher side).

Still, I agree that investors may go for alternate funding methods for solving their immediate money requirements rather than disturbing long-term investment holdings. But these are all individual driven, it means not all investors are not having same kind of situation hence we cannot make any general conclusion here.

Holding long-term will be easy thing only when we are having proper plan about our target levels and having alternate income stream for other expenses. Managing everything within control must be an important thing for both investors and traders for getting good results from of their investments and trades among all other expenses commitments.

I think that long-term investment and holding of cryptocurrency for years is not for everyone. I think it all depends on psychology. I also wanted to hold bitcoin, but I cannot cope with the growth and always sell ahead of time.

It is that because you were always checking your portfolio every day. Try not to do it, then you can say that it was easy when you don't think about anything around. It can be simple if you are also busy with the other stuff but if you are thinking this all the time, it gives you stress.

Anyway, it wasn't necessary to do this if you are in trading. Because what a trader commonly did is to buy and sell, it does all day of trading, and holding is just an option to take when there is something wrong with the market trend.

With cryptocurrency holding plays a big role, because we don't know when the market is gonna turn bullish. So, user who can able to hold atleast for three years of time makes the best out of holding. Recently one of my friend who is into stock market investments got into cryptocurrency investment. He has started to accumulate little by little and his focus is profiting by 2026. This is how holding time period needs to be.

Yes, I totally agree with you mate, cus personally, am in this category and have experienced this situation many times, there are many coins I have sold in other to raise money to solve life's problems which if I still hold those coins today, I would solve thousands of bigger problems and still be a very rich man, it's just what it is and sometimes, I really feel very bad for myself cus I see ownership of this coins as an opportunities God have given me to become financially successful but when life happens, and you have no one to help you or assist you to solve the problems, one have no choice but to throw that opportunity away, which always ends in regrets though.
But we must try our best to break out of this circle, if the rich can buy and forget for years, we should try our best to do the same, one first success of doing what the rich does is enough to make us rich and start doing everything other thing as rich people.

Yeah right, it's the timing that you need to understand, holding is very essential to earn more from this industry if you fully ynderstand everything regarding to this business.
if the project is really solid, and there are many good foundations, taking that long is still considerable to wait.
That right attitude and mentality, you are not seeing this business as a short passage way but you are seeing it as a good foundation of your future, investment needs to have a clear mindsets in reaching your goals.

Holding cryptocurrency is easy and it not about been rich, it about human understanding and discipline between financial needs and saving. However, having the thought that you kept some coins somewhere is the reason why you later sell it but if you stake such coin for years if you can hold it by yourself that will solve the problem.

It's easier for them but it doesn't mean that they're the only ones that can do it. Even not for the rich people but has a firm plan to hold it, they can hold it until they decide to sell it.

You only hold the amount for a long time that you don't have to think of spending any time soon. Because if you're holding an amount and you've got plans to sell it as soon as possible, you can still do that but make sure that there's something left to hold.

Even though we can say that being rich isnt always a factor but it cant be denied that if you do have this kind of advantage you can almost do everything without worrying much because you know that your pocket
is way more deep compared into others which means you can expand nor able to adjust if you wanted to.

Its right that holding isnt an easy thing if you do have lots of priorities in life which does mean you will be needing some proper planning and self discipline on how you would gonna
follow up your goals in life.

If you do look that this is something had the potential then you would do your best on not to sell it on early but actually this will vary from time to time.

Rish people have the advantage compared to the poor but I know that many of them have also been struggling hard to do it. of course, that is very easy to say that HOLD, HOLD, but the question is how LONG we can do it. Or we just hold when the market just rising up but automatically we sell it immediately once the market is declining?

Because the truth is that, not only rich people can do this, poor could still do this but it possibly not in the same time frame. As I think that these poor people can just hold for a shorter time than the rich people.

But I believe everyone can plan up for long-term holding when they are allocating funds within available limits. I mean only when you are not bothering about available funds and committing for a loan or anything similar to that, then you will be getting into problems when times come for the re-payment.

So, proper planning will help anyone regardless of they are rich or poor. Because, I have seen many investors were are not having any other resources but successfully managing their long-term bitcoin holding to enjoy massive profits over the period of 4 to 6 years.

Been rich does give some kind of advantage over others but been rich doesn't judge the span of holding cryptocurrency either if the rich individual didn't have much knowledge about crypto or feel unsafe with his investment he can choose to sell.

Holding is only difficult for people that don't understand wealth or money management and I have a lot of Kiyosaki books which make me understand that have lots of priorities in life doesn't stop me from having some saving/holding.

its freaking easy if u hold a major coins , just stay away from market and always confident, u will get it , the hard thing its hold a hype token , for example , banana from apeswap , i've farmed it since the beginning , but because the FUD its everywhere , especialy many many rug pull happened on that time, i am not dare to hold it even for 2 days.

I agree on that we can hold coins and forget about it if we have work and a minimum salary, it is also depends on our confidence about the coins that we are going to buy and hold, because there are coins that is really good for holding like bitcoin imagine I we buy and hold bitcoin for 11 years maybe we can now one of the millionaire in crypto.

Same thing always happen with and make me feel so sad. When i hold i see most of the coin or token get fall down and when i sell it to survive my life its going to rise again. Actually its not our fault as you said what should we really do nothing actually but need to survive .

For the people that have short funds, they need to have stable job in order for them not to sell their investment. It's one of the reason why people cannot hold their tokens for the long run. I prefer to sell small amount of my funds if I'm satisfied with the profit that I gained and just buy again when I have funds. I have sold most of my tokens back in 2018 but I didn't regret it.

I've experienced this kind of situation too, but simply hodling your coins won't get you anywhere. The passive profits you gets in holding your coins is limited, unlike if you do trading, you can maximize your profits, or lose it, depends on your skills in Trading. If you're gonna invest your whole money in cryptocurrency, better to have a job and not rely on your investment in cryptocurrency if you don't want to lose your profits in the long run.

If you have a $1000, invest the $500 on Bitcoin and start your business using that $500, and invest your profits in your business in Bitcoin little by little, that's how you do it.

I proceeded onward on the grounds that I realize it was an incredible assistance for me in ready to tackled the monetary issue during around then. At the point when the every day schedules tackle your monetary then sadly we need to utilize the investment funds from our various sources like holding resources. The economy found us napping actually so if its conceivable to land two positions while you contribute a tad bit of your pay to BTC will in any case be worth and this is the place where you truly can hold unquestionably.

One thing that also comes into my mind on where you can really make out some comparison in between when you do held off your funds or making some trades with it.
You can really say that trading does really give out that kind of opportunity for you to make profits in a short time without the need of holding for it in years.
But actually this is on self preference because not all could really deal off with the risk involved on actively making out some trades and facing volatility in day to day basis.
This is why some would really just tend to hold off no matter what.

Look to answer this question, one needs to understand how much they have frozen cash and how much funds they have liquid which needs to be flowing and cannot be frozen.

If you have any frozen funds, you can invest them into any crypto arguably bitcoin and forget about them for years.

The liquid funds you can use for trading, which means you can buy any asset or coin at a cheap price and then sell it at a pre-determined price without the regret of price jumping high.

Just set your priorities and decide how you want to approach trading, it is really easy once you allocate the right amount of funds towards the right coin.

And this has happened with almost every one of us, I had some million doge coins and I sold them for dirt cheap prices and now I have nothing but regrets. Although I know that it might have actually turned into dirt and dogecoin might have finished by now if Elon didn't support it out of anywhere so I feel bad but I don't think I made any mistake selling them in past.

Holding requires you to have financial freedom which not everyone can afford and at some point, we are tempted to sell the coins even though there is a fear of missing massive value in future.

Well, I don't think a moderately earning person can afford to hold some 10 Bitcoins which he purchased at let's say $1k and if the price reaches 10k, I don't think he can hold for too long, and watching it reach $50k after selling is going to make his decision look bad but in reality, it isn't.

For that reason which is true for most people here, I guess I need to agree with OP completely. In some sense holding is only suitable for very rich people and this may be the one of the reason why people always says rich are getting easy chance to become more richer ::).

You are right about your point stated there mate, holding is the most profitable part of the cryptocurrency but that's the part major people find it hard and to invest in and that's why they keep becoming broke everyday. If you can not hodl, you can be rich, I will talk about how to avoid touching your moneyvin investments.

Accepted and this is the reason why the staking of Bitcoin comes in which is what some people use before now and they are enjoining themselves now.


I agree the rich have easy chance to become richer but same has regular people who always think outside the box and welcome new innovation technology.

The poor can't think out of the box because to earn more money, they are busy trying to live. The funds they earn every day are enough only for the supply the next day while the rich can already find ways to make cheaper ways to pay their bills and transportation.

Holding won't be easy when they see they have nothing to eat next month if the jobs run out. Of nothing to spend the next day.

I also very often ask this question, because I also have to sell my crypto assets in order to satisfy my vital needs and of course I am very glad that I have already managed to make money on cryptocurrencies and buy the necessary things for life. However, as you noticed after the sale of your crypto asset, the price for it grows and then rarely, but the question arises, maybe it was not worth selling? But fortunately for myself, I have already clearly determined that everything that I sold it had to be sold, and then what I would earn, I’ll see what to do, perhaps I will still hold on to some of the crypto assets. In any case, it is very difficult for ordinary people to defend cryptocurrency, since we constantly need money to live, which means that sooner or later we will sell our cryptocurrencies anyway.

Happened to me too a lot of times. But those are priorities that we sell it for. I never sold it until I really need it. On that side I'm glad I had done it since it made life easier. Now it's bothering to see those coins go up but we need to be grateful for what we got from it.

^ Definitely right, because we are all humans that need financials every now and then, when we are running out of our money, we always think about what we saved just to spend. That is why we always advise the investors that always invest of what they can afford. Even 2% of their source of income invest and hold in BTC and other cryptos as long as it is wont hurt to the whole month of your budget.
Holding is not just really easy but at least when you needed it most, it will fulfill your necessities, uninspected or for emergency purposes.

Holding is easy to those who have a lot of money in thier pocket or bank because they can buy coins and keep it for a long time because they have a lot of money to spend for thier needs, but for those who don't have funds holding is really hard because if there is no money to spend there is no food to eat ordinary trader and investor like me has really a big problem on holding unlike to those who are already rich they can surely hold for a long time.

Holding Isn't easy for a average trader. Holding is easy for rich traders. When I want to buy a coin, I have to take time for analyzing market. And if I see any dump after investing, Then that's the hard time to hold that coin for me. Previously, I missed profit for this type wrong decision.

Holding is no longer profitable unless we had a really big portion of that coin, but if not then trading it will make us gain more profit. I have learned my lesson with my past holdings of altcoins from ICO that now have no value so better have the courage to trade and take some profit to enjoy than hold too long except if it BTC.

There is no depiction of whether rich or average or small traders, there's just the same rule in holding. Holding is easy for all of them because there's no effort needed to do as in you're going to hold it and that's it.

But I think I understood why there's a difficulty for each level and that is the situation for each trader and what they're going through.

Normal thing that hodling would really be worth if you do held a big or considerable amount of coins into your wallet but if its only a small amount then it wont really be worth for you to wait up into something.

This is true that hodling isnt an easy thing specially if you do actively see and check out the market. Seeing green and red candles would really be mainly affecting your mindset and emotion.
You would always have the thought that you might sell out or panic basing on the current condition.

If you do mean out to hold then you should stood firm but it isnt bad to sell out if there are really some opportunities.

No one says it is an easy thing. If you have no strong belief in your coins, you must be easy to be influenced by rumors or FUDs. Also, you are probably not patient to see dumps in your coin prices. Crypto isn't only about pumps, there should be followed by dumps as well. If you don't have enough knowledge and have a weak mentality, you must fail to hold your coins.

I disagree a bit and agree a bit, holding needs huge patience and sometimes, you just have to have the attitude that what you have invested is gone, you can't touch it before 6 months or 1 year, so it doesn't really matter anymore once you invested, you aren't taking it out even if you see a little profit. Medical emergencies are exceptional but am pretty sure the middle class people don't really have that much expenses that they can't invest and hold for sometime without needing to take it out insta tly!

Hodling somehow isn't that easy, but is more easier when you got patience then with time you will start seeing the outcome, why hodling seems not easy is because most times hodlers becomes panic sellers or some times take profit too early, as you said taking profit to solve daily  needs. I think about taking profits to solve daily needs isn't a good option because that person will end up selling immediately he sees profit and might even sell up a bag of coin which would have liberate him from his current situation, so I think such person should always invest with what he knows he wouldn't be needing so urgently.

- Confidence always needs practical actions from the other side to become the food source for this confidence, it means that the project we follow needs to break the rumors, rather than just mix in, the mix and no explanatory action will result in a decline in trust, and holding becomes the most exhausting thing we've ever done, not too long will turn into holes and be affected by the negatives. Holding cannot be called an easy behavior, it shows a trader's attitude and bravery quite a lot

It is not easy to keep it, especially if you have invested a large amount and, for example, you urgently need to make repairs or buy a new phone, especially when your investment wallet is profitable, there is a very strong desire to withdraw the margin and leave the wallet to grow further, but you must always have patience and restraint ...

When you invest, you should really have other income sources so that you won't be forced to sell your investment if you have to.

But that's also the purpose of our investments, if you see it grow then you have done your part and did a good job because you're able to make money from your investment and you deserve what you want to do with it.

Self discipline and control because if you dont have that confidence you've been talking and the qualities that i had mentioned then you would really be having a hard time to sustain.

Holding isnt an easy thing specially if you are really looking into market prices actively just like what others been saying and if you do have high hopes on a particular project

then this would add up towards your dedication but expect that there would be lots of times where temptation and emotion would really be on the way and you must endure it.

Holding is easy if you know how to choose the right potentials coin that you are going to hold in the long term.
But if your not sure about the coins you are planning to hold in the long term and don't any knowledge about it, surely your
confidence will not take longer of waiting were in the end end you will become impatient in short for it.

I personally think no. Anyone can buy and forget it just varies with the amount. Of course, the riches will surely have bigger holdings and won't have any problem on where they will get the money tomorrow to continue living. It all comes down to discipline and budget planning. Me personally I don't earn that big anymore but I still able to hold some BTC, ETH, and some top coins right now without the problem of thinking about how can I sustain my daily needs tomorrow. Allocate budget smartly on things you are spending, invest what you can afford to lose, cryptocurrency is a high-risk high reward type of investment you can earn more than 100x of your money in the long run and it doesn't matter how big or small your holding is.

You would only know it's right if it's already giving you a profit, you just have to be practical, don't invest everything, or don't put your eggs in one basket. Even with the most popular coins in the market, there's no assurance that you'll be profitable, so when investing, make sure you know how to diversify your investment.

I'm holding all the way. Bitcoin is on a downtrend and it's pulling down different coins with it. It bounce back a little further and or just fall through and we will see a significant crash but either way i'm holding. I'm currently doing that with Bitcoin and some others and I only look at the long term investments. It's not as simple as I stand up yet I already motivated to make this happen.

At times like this, holding back the coins we have collected will become even more difficult. yeah, the market is currently in red. everyone who panics will sell their assets, while the only ones who remain are the people who believe in cryptocurrency. seeing the bitcoin price drop below $ 40k has a big effect on altcoins, and most people are holding onto altcoins right now.

I realize it was an extraordinary assistance for me in ready to tackled the monetary issue during around then. At the point when the day by day schedules tackle your monetary then sadly we need to utilize the investment funds from our various sources like holding resources. The economy found us napping actually so if its conceivable to land two positions while you contribute a tad bit of your pay to BTC will in any case be worth and this is the place where you truly can hold certainly.

Taking profit at every level isn't really a bad innovation but it would be more profitable to buy more when you have the opportunity and resources after taking some profit off. Crypto investing should be for people who has other source of revenue so they wouldn't depend solely on their investment for survival

depending on the situation, for example when reach all time higher then there's a drop it will be difficult to keep holding because people will think of taking a profit but i recommend don't sell all asset

Why would you sell when the prices drop when you could've sold when the prices reached the all time high. Also you are right that it depends on the situation but sometimes what's currently happening sometimes isn't the right time to sell. Only way to hodl for a long-term is if you have other means of making money so you won't have to use your bitcoin.

if you use money for everyday life and buy crypto currency only for HOLD, of course it is sad,
HOLD can not necessarily make you rich mate, look now on the market, if you buy Bitcoin at $ 50k now you can only cry ,
because Bitcoin dumps 40% a day, it's sad, isn't it?

Thats the risk of buying at peak price since the market is unpredicted. However as long as you dont sell, your asset is still intact, you dont lose anything and thats the importance of holding. Wait patiently until the price reach your desired value.

On the other side investing the money needed for everyday needs are really not advisable. How can you hold if you already need the money? Holding is not only for rich people, anyone can do it as long as you're determine and has a set goal. Investing the money you dont need for long period so you wont be tempted to sell.

Out of the greatest risk comes the greatest reward, so they say. Hodling itself might not seem like a very great risk as far as cryptos like bitcoin is concerned but, its got a risk factor too. That is in the sense that, it could go down and never come up again. Is that even possible? I doubt, it especially for bitcoin. On other coins, it just might but bitcoin seems a lot far from it. Well, thats one issue with holding then,
You can talk of the of the daily needs. As long as one is living, there would always be a need that requires satisfying and which ever investment avail to the individual is a great source. As to this fact, a lot of persons finds it extremely difficult to hold a coin for over 365days.

Only to those who do have great faith and trust on a certain project is to those someone who could really make out the resistance of panic selling specially into these kind of times where the market is on deep reds.

Holding is not really an easy thing if you are a type of person which is a bit impulsive on making out decisions basing or seeing current events in the market.

If you cant hold then its better to make out shorter trades and now is the best time to buy out some coins which are on sale.  ;)

if the holder is not a rich person then that is the risk he has to accept, holder is a winner is stupid words,
if you believe that then you are wrong, if you enter the current price everything is already expensive! yes I know people who say that are people who have bought them at a cheap price!
Then what if you bought Ethereum at $ 4000? Holder is a winner? LoL

Then that is to advise that invest only the amount that we can afford to lose. It won't a big deal for rich people if they were able to see that the price will decline as they can manage to hold it but this could be a challenge for those who just rely on the profit that they got from their investment for their daily needs. And the selling could be their temptation, and it is too hard to manage our emotions if that will be the case.

This is one of the many scenario where people lost their money through holding for long term, there are many coin that if you didn't follow them on telegram group for latest informations and updates, I have lost money because I was deformed about coin swapping to new coin. This advise is necessary as a holder to follow up the coin you are holding on telegram group as well as all social media pages to get any latest development on the coin.

But if you are just investing in Bitcoin or Ethereum which was known to be a long-term investment, I don't think about losing is near to possibility but probably it is more on the positive side (profiting). But many investors and holders had been tricked out by the market. Many are buying cheap shitcoins as they think that they can get x5, x10 profit (base on the market promotions) but it was very unfortunate that instead of having a good profit, they only got losses.

Dont holding for daily needs but for longterm investment. Before decide to holding any coin, we should be know what the currrently of trend crypto market. Based on historycal price and trend of crypto market, in my opinion right now is good decision to start to holding some strong coin. If we back  afew years ago, in 2016 and in the beginning of 2017 is good times to holding, but in the beginning of 2018 the bearish market started, so bad decision to hold crypto. Start hold now and do it for minimum 1 year , should be promising good profit because now is the beginning of bullish market. 

That's right but in such situations when you need money, one should sell a part of coins profits instead of touching the original investment. Let's say you invested $1000 and you have a $100 profit now and you need some money then better withdraw from the $100 instead of touching the original 1k. If possible avoid even touching the profits because you will have exponential growth if you invest the profits too.

When you invest for long time always remember to just invest what you have spare or you don't need in near future. If you are investing your salary then you will always be in a dilemma whether I should cash my profits and investment or how to proceed because you need that money to regulate life and daily activities.

Well, you really can't hold if your plan is just to use it for your daily needs. The perfect strategy when you're holding is to put that money into no use but as an investment, we both agree about it as long term and you won't going to use that until it has made profit.

And just as the trend today, it's a downtrend. Holders are losing patience because all they see are bloods everywhere but only the most patient holders will win against this red days.

I both disagree and agree. I disagree to your first point when you said that hold for long term investment. I think if you wise enough and always keep yourself updated from the rate then maybe it's better to check the possible rate the next day and if high then go for investing. I agree when you said start hold now and do it for 1 year. But you also said in the last part thay this is bullish market and it's true.

I did holding some different coins for more than 3 years, because I been loss alot money when bearish trend on 2018, my losses up to 90%. Since that, I decided to hold it all, and this year bullish season coming, and my money is back plus make some good profit.  Holding coins is easy if use money that afford to lose. Dont use money for daily needs to invest in crypto. Diversify your investment, dont make invest in crypto only but also learn to invest on others asset that the risk is lower like Gold or stocks.

there are situations where holding holds becomes a great test of patience that the person will have to pass, let’s imagine that someone buys bitcoin when the bitcoin price is $60,000, today the bitcoin price is at $36000, that means that all people who they bought at the price of $60,000 are at a loss and the question that these people must be asking must be: when will the price return to $60,000? and when will the price exceed $ 60,000?

now let's see the following:

if someone buys bitcoin for the price of $60,000 and the price drops to $ 36,000 and it takes 4 years to reach $70,000, it means that that person took 4 years holding to make a profit of $10,000. sometimes hold can have this disadvantage and to minimize this disadvantage people need to start buying each dip

if they can hold up to 4 years and the price starts to approach BEP, will they be able to hold it back. on the other hand, if the price is above the purchase price, are we able to hold it too ... and one more thing, we don't know when the peak is formed, and at any time the price can reverse direction. therefore the psychological role is very vital

Well, holding goes hand in hand with long term. You can't rely on an investment to do well within a few weeks you need to give it time to end up with a chunky profit.

And sure, this depends on when you entered the market but it is safe to say that any investment should be one you will be OK to lose if things don't go your way. You can't use crypto as a way to get your day to day needs. This is not sustainable.

Yes well said mate. Not all crypto traders are rich and wealthy.
And yes this is the bitter truth that happens with major traders including me.
There is no problem in holding a specific coin for long term, but in order to fulfil our expenditures we sell it quickly.
After selling we see the price of that coin keeps on increasing and for this we buy again the coin and sometimes face losses.
Still I respect all the traders and hope days will change and all will become rich.

it should be an easy thing, why? because you just have to store it in your wallet,
maybe it can be in a trust wallet or in a wallet exchange, such as Binance, or Huobi,
 indeed holding long coins you can lose all your money because not all coins will be a big project,
you have to manage everything in risk management, if you just invest and walk away, that's a shame

Because not all crypto traders are rich, that means crypto trading is not only for the rich. Even so many poor people are trying to buy crypto
to change their future for the better. Because many people have proven that holding crypto in the long term can make us rich. The problem is
that most of the poor use trading capital or investing with money to buy daily necessities. This ultimately makes them suffer a loss, because
they choose to sell at a loss, the coins they have to meet their daily needs. The key to become successful holders is to have capital from
the extra money we have, so whatever our needs will not make us sell the coins we have before finally reaching the selling target we want.

yeah right, it's all depends from how the person handled the situation, it's not an easy task but if you are willing and you have all the information that you need, even you've got stuck from the current high you are willing to hold knowing that it will bounce back and it's keep repeating, it's been witness from the beginning.

It's a must to make sure you fully understand before you make your participation inside this business.

You must be sure when you have planned to go long.

It takes discipline and patience to hold an investment for that long. And determining how long that term should be relies on how long you're okay holding that asset.

But if it's bitcoin then it's fine to hold it as much as you can and for many years to come.

Would really be requiring that strong will and self discipline specially if you are really active on seeing or checking out the market which emotions isn't simple for you to handle on

if you don't have that dedication to hold up for long term.So it might really simple as it sounds but actually hard to be done and Im really amazed into those fellas

who do able to held up for long years and now they do cherish up the fruit of their patience which isn't something can be done by anybody.

Have you been done this before? Coz I really don't think that it works IRL. You could easily say that "I can HOLD", but if you did it in an actual scenario, you can imagine how hard it was especially when you don't have any resources.

Many people had tried to do this but it was very unfortunate that once the market went down, they got crazy and panicking which leads them to sell their coins and sometimes selling at losing. It is really easy to say "I CAN DO IT" but just a talk and it changes abruptly, unless if you are a rich person that doesn't just rely on the market.

if you can't make regular money from crypto you should find a real job and hold all the tokens you buy and earn...

Many people think that cryptocurrency can meet their daily needs, so many people sell it when they don't have cash. it's true that to be rich you have to be a holder.

This is why many people that are into cryptocurrencies always say "invest what you can afford to lose". Holding is not really easy especially if the money we invested in crypto is just our spare or from our savings. Cryptos are very volatile so you can't tell when a long bear season could happen. If emergencies happened during that season, you will likely to sell it at loss. Hodling like forgetting that you bought it is really for rich, it won't matter to them even if its value goes low in the future and they will just buy more to accumulate.

That's one of the reasons why we're advised to be patient and learn how to manage or handle our emotions before investing in cryptocurrency. Holding isn't an easy thing because there will be lots of temptations and we'll also feel afraid of losing sometimes but good things still come to those who wait. Patience is still the key.

Only words can speak but in my heart it will not be strong when I CAN DO IT, that's why the so-called panic goes crazy because they are willing to lose by selling prices that are falling and this only follows a trend where they are afraid of losing money in large amount.
It is undeniable that holding coins is not as easy as what we say, it still takes a strong mentality to face all kinds of temptations that occur in the market, not even once we have faced something like this but still this hand feels itching to sell at a loss

- The main problem with this process is that we are looking at the value too often, it has formed a habit and when we notice the candles have a noticeable change, green suddenly turns red, it's going to be a very long day for us, put a lot of attention and shiver over each change but they were wrong. A holder cannot live like a day trader, we can't try to check the price too much, obviously this action can't make a profit, we are living to look into the future, ordinary days are the life of the holder, that will make holding very ambiguous and when we get to the top, that's when we harvest

When we do talk about harvest then this is something which it isnt really a sure thing and always put up in mind on what are the probabilities for you to profit because this market is unpredictable and into those coins or projects out there.You wouldnt know on how they would perform out in longer runs.
There are indeed situations which do really put us up on the condition that we wont really be making out any steps further where active  traders turns out to be holders due to being caught with the dump but for those who had been intently tend to hold in the first place then this wouldnt be a problem.

You can also do that and if you're amazed with those people, you should also try to do that and be amazed with yourself.  ;)

But it is true that it takes time and dedication for someone to hold for long term because if there's no dedication, a holder can sell his stack easily when the market plunges or when his emotion hits him.

That's really an important matter when someone chooses to hold long term.

This is absolute truth. Reason is that if you hold and price goes down and it remains in that state for some months,fear creeps in. If by good luck price climbs slowly,after a while,the urge to dispose becomes so strong. Real big challenge

Or simply emotion is your biggest enemy whether you do held or would tend to sell just because you do saw the price is already too high and would tend to sell because the price is already low
and you do try to save up your portfolio on further losses.Its true that it is neve really easy to be a holder because emotion would be indeed the thing that will really be putting you
into situation where you do really think off the other way.So if you are really serious with your crypto holdings then you should really very dedicated on what are your goals.
Holding might sound and look easy but  it isnt really that easy as it sounds or just doing on the actual thing.

Yes I agree, since holding is not easy especially when you really need some profit to sustain your daily needs but the market price still in red. It is really not easy, if you experiencing this then you must need to find a full-time job for you to avoid difficulties on sustaining the needs of your family. Holding is not just for a short term but for a long term investment and it really need patience.

On March 12th last year, I did not have firm conviction. I sold Bitcoin and lost 4 BTC. I have been regretting it all the time.
I was still a novice at the time and did not follow the advice of my friends holding 80% of the positions.
It is too difficult to be a firm holder. >:(

First of all, people who needs the money daily from their capital should never invest it on anything and they can't consider it as capital as well, they should work their ass hard as much as possible until they make decent amount to consider it as capital along with savings for their daily needs so they can hold why spend money from their savings.

Too bad you did an early decision that made you regret forever. Well, it's still not that late. You can still collect and buy bitcoins until you reach 4 btc or more again.

You're a novice by that time and you got 4 btc? how much you bought those?

investing in the long term does require free money that is not used for daily needs. if we use money for daily needs, I'm worried that when we are floating minus and we need money, it will damage our psychology, resulting in panic selling which causes us to lose money. By holding it for a long time, it takes calm and patience to wait for the market bullrun, so that we can maximize our profit

He probably has the money that able to acquire 4BTC, and besides, it was cheaper than the price of today. However, it very unfortunate that he is not sure about what he invests and simply gets affected by FUDs and some sort of negativity. Truly, he is a novice in this platform. But don't consider it was a big mistake nor it is very regretting because as new investors in crypto, something bad really happens before we learn.

You just re said what I have said in that Post? :D

There is no free Money, just we need to work until we get enough money to invest it on something or else the investment is never going to work.

However Cryptocurrency made people to be billionaires even in week still you can't expect it to be a quick rich scheme because it's not gonna happen everyday.

Think of things like that as part of the learning process because after all it's not easy to jump into the world of cryptocurrency,
indeed we should not be easily influenced by FUD,
before believing a news at least we need to do our own research related to the news

Cant really be avoided specially if you do saw that majority is really having the same impression or reaction towards that certain Fud or news.When you are just newbie then you would most likely react on the same
way and its impossible for you to ignore and to be mindful on verifying things out first before making further step towards your investment. Holding might sounds too easy but due to several
factors that would simply affect the way you are holding which might end up for you to panic sell or selling too early just because you had heard out some fuds or news.
Its not an easy thing and it does require experience for you to atleast aware on how this market works.

Agreed, holding may sound easy but it is really hard to do. Though this is why people take holdings only on the super strong coins like BTC and I dare say ETH also. Sure, it is easy to get shaken out during market bears but in the long run those that are able to defy their emotions will be grateful for holding.

Only those who wait are rewarded.

I am an ordinary worker. Although I don't have a lot of savings, I don't spend all my money on buying cryptocurrency. I only invest my spare money every month. Even if you lose, you won't have too much distress. If I put all my wealth into it, I will have too much burden in my heart. If you want to hold coins, you still have to look at your own abilities. Although there are many difficulties, success is by no means easy.

Yes you are right, holding is not an easy way but some people didn't hold because they don't have much money to hold or wait for the long term, they sell it for their daily need in a short profit, but after some time they realize that it might given them the benefit if they didn't sell.

If you are rich enough to invest in cryptocurrencies with only a small part of your personal assets, price fluctuations will not have much impact. Long-term holding is a very difficult thing in the market, and price fluctuations can easily affect the decision. Holding is a strategy. Long-term holding will be very profitable if the market can be analyzed correctly.

Most of the time even you already set your plan, once market show something unusual fear also comes inside you,
thinking that the direction already stating to change your plan and act quickly.

I agree that only those who managed to keep their composure in holding assets that they really trust will receive higher compensation, 

and once the market start to bounce back and the bull strongly runs inside.

not only rich man should do this , in our money management rules we must set less than 2% for each trades and never overtrade and greedy to generate profits instantly. Long term investment mean we have to wait product developtment running for several months or even years , and during this periode price will fluctuate . Did we ready to face it or not.

It's true that not everyone can hold it because there will always be challenges,
Patience is also very important in holding, especially when the market is falling it's not easy

As long you dont need those funds then you could really wait up for long term since this is one of the factors that could really affect someones decision in terms of their investment.
Each of us does have different state when it comes to financial capacity so decisions will really be varying on someones goals or target because we do have different midnset when it comes to that.
Some say that holding is easy but only into those people who do have money and which can really afford to those funds to be holded for years or simply to those who do have other source of
income but for those who do rely with trading or investment profits then its likely they would really be taking this kind of option.

the only solution only trainee our mentality and dont ever make overtrade due our greedy to earning money or profits. while we were in hold periode, our emotion will really tested when we see price drop hardly or recover. immediately our instinct will say close close close to avoid bigger lose. when it happen ofcurse we lose our purpose holding coins.

This is exactly the point where, hdlibg becomes really difficult to some individuals or investors because, there would always be a want or need that would require funds eventually. For this reason, hodling might come easy to some and really difficult to others. Those that might find it easy are those with a lot of leverage as to how much income they've got and the source to it's replenishment. Something most average men lack.
Most individuals sees bitcoin as a get away from poverty, some sort of financial freedom and as such, would continue to reap off ROI after some wholesome investment but then, the market dances on both sides, the world presents some difficulties and they go about searching out funds from their bitcoin investment and bum, your right back where you started. For a poor guy, there is little or no hope.

I'm wondering, these guys who buy when the price was $60,000, how are they feeling right now? they look on the chart:

https://i.imgur.com/rITouz5.png

and they realize that the current price is at $33000 and they are having a big loss, their only hope is to hope that the price will go back to $60,000, but what if it takes 5 years for the price to go back to $60,000? so they will be waiting 5 years to have the same money they invested. shouldn't be an easy task. the situation gets worse when the person is doing hodl and doesn't spend bitcoins, and all because he dreams of 5X profits, in the end he ends up with the same money he had after waiting years.

In the end it really depends on the financial condition of each person, for rich people who have large incomes, Bitcoin holding should not be
a difficult thing to do. Because usually rich people are used to holding assets, such as gold, stock market and real estate. As for poor people
who have limited income, holding Bitcoin is not an easy thing. There are so many sudden needs that require selling the Bitcoin they have,
because the funds of the poor are very limited.

Avoid being greedy when you hold.

It would be two things, if you hold then you hit your target price, are you going to sell or you'll keep holding until higher price reaches?

Ask yourself what you should do and the next one is when you hold and took the profit, are you going to spend the money right away or you'll wait until the prices goes down so you can re-buy?

When it involves holding lots a decipline and self restrictions comes into play because certainly challenges would come up tempting the average investor to do some withdrawal and sort them out and it comes up often and on until it completely wipes out the entire coin available. It's always good to have a steady source of income if you mist hold a coin

This strategy is intended for educated and smart people, that is, for the rich :)
In general, I try to always fix the profit and sell everything at the start of vigorous growth - this is a bad and useless strategy, unless of course you want to be left with nothing. It is always necessary to apply different trading strategies for a particular situation in the market, I repeat, it is imperative to secure the profit and thereby not sell all the coins at the start of the bull run.

I agree, when we hold and the price jumps sharply, then we will think to end or keep holding it. both have their respective effects, when we sell and the price continues to rise, then we will feel disappointed, so if we decide to keep holding it and the price reverses direction, then we feel the same way too. now I'm learning to accept the risk of what is my decision

I can see the true feelings behind this post and i am sure many of us can relate to it.
But if we see the positive aspects, then it’s better than facing loses.
Imagine if you hold for long time and face loss, then this will hurt more.
Rather we should consider something is better than nothing.
Hope this add some contrast to the OP.

It is really hard for the person who have only one or two coins and he is holding them for years due to its ups and downs. How can he manage it?

Holding only comes easy to those who has got more and some other streams of income. It becomes apparently difficult, very difficult to be holding a coin when you've got a single stream of income and the needs in our would today is so surplus. Hodlers are really trying, for those of them that has been really good at it, hodling coins for years. It suddenly seems like, its the most difficult thing a common man could do. Not like you wake up every morning and you see the coin adding a dollar or 2 dollars, it's always creeping inost part of the year and most times, it gets to have some corrections and your like 'what is this or what is happening '. Thats how people encounter loses. I have a friend who, with the least bear move in the market, his gone for a sell and I feel for him. Hodling, is for the strong, really.

the most important thing when holding it is that we must remain consistent and also don't get carried away in a panic. jaci I think this could be the key to a successful hold in the long term

Honestly it's quite disappointing and painful when you find yourself in a situation like this.

Even rich people do sell off at the expense of buying other project in which they do think will be best profitable for them but at the long run it turns out that the one they sold to buy the new is much better, profitable and futuristic than the new one.

One can not always win it all. As I believe in the sayings that "you win some, and lose some"

But to my own tiniest piece of advise, I think it's better to not always sell all, try to keep at least 20/30% of that one project you're wanting or willing to sell and not sell off everything.

It is not an easy thing to hold but it is easy to hold if you have a good knowledge of currencies good currency for holding bitcoin. Its price increases for long term retention but it is risky to be more greedy therefore it is better to sell if you make some profit you have to be patient and control your emotions and move forward the best way to succeed is to plan. Newcomers have less risk to hold if you invest in the right currency, you will make a profit if the price goes up.

For the rich and the ones who have a steady flow of income, it's easy. Holding something that isn't growing can be a pain which is why some investors are open to just buying staking coins so that even if the value is declining the number of tokens is growing and all they do is wait for the price to spike again.

Holding BTC is not ideal when there is a bear market. It's only meant when the bullrun has not yet reached its peak but once it's up there, investors are going to sell and wait again for the dip.

I settled with the fact that holding is possible when the situation allows it; I have been trying to hold for some time now but seems impossible because of real-life needs that always make me sell off to pay bills, but again I held a little amount which has thought me one thing that is the discipline it may not be easy to hold but with the determination for the future one can still hold.

It depends on the person's income, like me if I hold for years I can because many coins I bought before one years and now still these coins have high price. And if someone needs daily money and they don't want to invest huge then day trading is best for them

Definitely, it was easy to hold if you have a good knowledge on how to hold bitcoin. Having strategies and techniques on this was also very important in holding bitcoin. If the price increases in just a small percentage, I guess you can sell it already instead of waiting for the huge amount of money. As long as you gain profit and don't lose such a huge amount of it was great already. Maybe newbies might experience high risk if they don't take the advices of those people who knows it already and get less risk if they will search something about their coins and knows how those coins are trusted. Invest on the right coins for you to gain profit even just a little.

I hope you've by now have a change of mind. As you can see, the market bull season is about to get activated, as bitcoin and every other altcoin are moving slowly, steady with stability in the market. So to my own little understanding, if you really want to cheat on the market, now is the perfect time. Don't dull, go ahead and invest all you want.

Its not simple to hold on because there is no guarantee of your coins in the future. Selling while you still have the opportunity is good thing to avoid your losing money. Some people can not wait so its not easy to hold for long term. Its totally depends on person that is he long term investor or not.   

Just use your extra money for investment, don't use funds for daily needs. In this way, you don't need to sell your crypto coins for daily needs. Many people force themselves to invest with their daily funds, which is very not recommended to do. How if after you buy the coins, the price suddenly decreases severely and takes a long time to recover? That's why experts state that to invest with the money you can afford. 

if you choose a coin that does not have a clear progression then there will be no definite guarantee. But if you hold Bitcoin or coins that have clear developments, there will certainly be good guarantees for the future. depending on how you choose the coins you want to invest. If you just want to get a faster profit, a short-term strategy may be suitable, but if you are an investor who doesn't need a quick profit, you can choose a long-term investment type. most importantly do not use money for your daily life, use free money then the investment will remain safe.

People often say that they can't afford to invest. But actually, you don't have to buy 1 Bitcoin straightaway. You can invest just 10% of your monthly income, but you should do it on a regular basis, and these little parts of your earnings will not be noticeable for you, nevertheless, you will get some profit from investment within the time. Fortunately, I started investing when I lived with my parents, so they provided for me, and all my nest-egg I was able to invest in Bitcoin, altcoins and defi projects. This way I learned how to hold, I overcame bear markets and big losses, and now it is really easy for me to hold.

That's right most of people making investment from the money they need in their daily life and it can become a mistake, instead of making profit the money could be lost some portion of it because investment isn't always gonna bring profit. It's a spare money that we can prepare that's suitable for investment. That's why most of people find holding coin really hard because they always need to fulfill their basic needs from that invested money which make investment become pointless because investment is all about timing.

HODLing is not just for the rich, it is for the disciplined. A rich person can buy a coin and still sell bearishly maybe because of a news or just sheer speculation. HODLing is however not so easy for the poor and needy, who even having all the discipline may still have to sell out some coins as last resort to survive or settle pressing demands.

Remember, only the living can HODL, don't die because you are trying to HODL your coins. At the same time, it doesn't mean you should always pick off your crypto account for every small challenge you face. If you must, it has to be on the note that it was the only and last resort. Otherwise keep HODLing.

You need to have a job that you can hold your coins and you can live while your money is in BTC. There will always be the necessity to spend your money so if you have a job or a farm where you can get your food there, you won't be forced to sell your BTC.

It's bad enough that you have stayed in the crypto market for a long time and yet having no big holdings still now. It's time to really stand and hold your future.

Holding is not for rich only, anyone has the same opportunity to hold but with different amount. For the case you talk about here, are you saying that many people holding coins with all the money they own so they do not have other money for their daily needs?

If it is the case, those people doing it completely wrong. People should not spend all their money for investment in holding coins. Investing, no matter it is trading or holding should be done with spare money only so it will not affect their daily needs for living.

Holding is a passion and a skill, there are people who are fortunate enough to get on this early and hold through heel and there are people who circumstances push them towards selling early. Whatever the reason, unfortunately, the minority HODL while the masses trade or close positions on short-term basis. But there's a need for this dynamic economics and so not everyone can be HODLers.

You probably didn't read the whole post of OPs.

The traders probably sold the coins because of their daily needs or even they need that money immediately. I think I have been talking like this earlier, but you shouldn't generalize people like that. Maybe you are rich? So you don't even think the other people situation in terms of economy, they probably need that money for their daily life. I have experienced that until today.

I would always suggest, do not depend the amount you have invested on trading for your basic requirements. Dont just await that the money you have invested would yield something every month to fulfill your basic needs. I have really lost almost $2000. I borrowed this amount and invested on a coin and expected an average return of minimum $150 per week. I even promised this return.

Where as, obviously there was no move but had to take the required amount from the capital. Had to sell at loss. So never depend on the amount you invested on crypto for basic needs.

Expecting to earn more money is okay, but risking your daily funds or take a loan is a bad idea. You must realize the risk of losing bigger money if your investment in crypto is failed. You don't get anything, losing money in the investment, and should be responsible to pay the loan. You will be more stressed or even depressed than you only lose your extra money (amount of money that you can afford to lose).

Indeed. It's okay to expect and earn money even how huge it is as long as you don't risk your daily funds or take a loan just to earn without even knowing how risk it is. Some traders maybe sold their coins for such a short period of time maybe because of their needs or else they need that money immediately. Holding is a passion and a skill, there are people who are fortunate to get on this early and hold through heel and some circumstances push them towards selling early. Learning on how to hold is very important to avoid stressed or even depressed than losing such a huge amount of money.

If you're skilled enough to read the market, it's OK. Every person's risk management and skill level is different. To gain experience, I made many risky plays and lost a lot of money. Almost everyone wants to succeed with their strategy. Each person is unique. That's fine if you want to play it safe. You decide what works for you! You want to invest buy-and-hold for a long time.

Holding depends on the person daily needs. Although we know that patience is very important in trading. Some people have the capacity of holding and they don't want to do and conversely some people have the ability to hold but their daily need stop them from doing that.

The daily needs of an individual stop him from holding and the main point is that it can be better for the person to have short term coins and get the profit from these short term profitable coin, it would be better for the person who can't hold due to some issues.

For anyone holding must be consistent because holding requires a good consistent attitude. Crypto market conditions are very unstable, you must be prepared and should not be exposed to any issues including panic selling and the like that end up selling your assets. so in my opinion the holder must survive and be ready for any conditions

I agree with your opinion. Sometimes we sell coins at very cheap prices and after some days the price goes up. It is because when we fulfill our basic expenses from crypto trading. And sometimes we buy a coin with our whole investment and the coin goes down and down then we face this situation to sell the coins at buying prices or below buying price. So, make your own strategies for trading and holding is not an easy job. Sometimes project crashes and our investment will struck.

Indeed it requires great patience. But there is the most important thing in an activity to be a Holder. You must have the ultimate goal of what you hold. Because some people have their own problems. Hold because the price is cheaper than the purchase price. Hold because the price is cheap and want to let go when the price is high. Everything can't just be done, it takes practice and in-depth analysis. In addition, you need to prepare a backup plan if it is beyond the expectations of your hold plan.

the best bet is day trading, you can earn a consistent weekly income. Become a member of a crypto platform. Your money grows everyday without losses, the best thing is that you don't have to watch it like most investors. It sits there and grow with our trading analysis

Really doable and we have seen those hodlers who had make out big profits or become millionaires on just simply holding which i can say that it wasnt really been an easy thing because there are
several factors that would really affect on someones decision or mind.

1. Dumping market
2. Presuming peak price
3. Personal or emergency need of funds
....

This is something that would really be hard to resist if you arent that dedicated.

I doubt if day trading is the best bet, cause I have tried it before and it didn't end well I lost countless times , day trade is much more risky than swing trading, since alot can happen in just a day, swing trading is much more safer since you just buy and hold for short term maybe a week or two before you selling, day trading carries way no too many losses just one loss and you could be rekt, so far swing trading has worked for me and that's the strategy I would advice anyone to use.

Yes I agree with you 👍 I too feel the same and I have seen that one of my friend lost his money in some investment and he had no money left and also he had no source of income, then he had only one option left that he had to sell the bitcoin so that he can invest again. Holding bitcoin is not an easy task to everyone .

Yes Holding need great patience . simetime it take 6 month to give you 2x. For professional trader the best bet is day trading, you can earn a consistent weekly income. Become a member of a crypto platform. Your money grows everyday without losses, the best thing is that you don't have to watch it like most investors. It sits there and grow with our trading analysis

Holding is easy to those who have a good source of income. If I have a daily source of income I can maybe hold a coin for long time but if the we doesn't have a good source of income for our daily needs it has a great possibility that we cannot hold a coin for a long time. Because we need to sell some coin or convert it to fiat for our daily needs.

Indeed. Although holding is still a good thing for major coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Cardano, etc., but that is if you put an amount that is considered “dead money” in your eyes or simply what you can afford to lose. Risk management is still necessary right now and I certainly believe that even if it’s just a small profit, learn to appreciate it.

indeed the big problem is if we don't have more funds to buy coins and haven't gotten the appropriate profit then we can't hold it for too long. when we get a little profit, we immediately sell it and turn it into fiat for more important needs.

I am also the same as you, can't hold on too long for each coin even though the coin has a pretty good prospect though. can be sure to be sold when the price feels good and not trying to wait and hold until the price is even better, because the need is more important than holding it in any longer.

This thread seems very interesting to me because normally it is very easy to say or recommend HODL, but when you have money in the market and you see some falls or that you are losing 20-30% of your investment it is a matter of concern, you just have to be nervous made of steel, because it is natural to always be looking for news that talks about the market and when you come across bad news that usually causes a lot of stress to investors.
That is why it is always recommended to make the investment and not review any of the news, and wait a long time until a great upward movement can occur, sometimes Warren Buffet's books are the ones that best teach to have confidence in investments. In these moments of the market, some freshness and tranquility usually enter, but it is necessary to continue monitoring the movements of BTC.

I think you are right mate, I have experience a lot of disappointment by selling off my holdings and after a few months it rises almost 2x higher than the price that I sell. That was really painful for me but there nothing o can do I need to pay my daily expenses. So I also believe that holding is only for people who are rich.

One of the great problems with holding is that it seems deceptively simple, after all what it can be so hard about buying bitcoin and then keep it? Well things are more complex than that especially if we take into account that thanks to the volatility of bitcoin its price can go down really fast and suddenly you find yourself facing massive losses and then you have to endure these conditions for months or even years, this makes a great deal of people to fail on their goal to become long term holders, losing money they could not afford to lose in the process.

If they keep looking inside their porfolio even they are aimng for long term goals, it's unavoidable that they'll failed,

but if they will not do that and they stick with the plan, buy and hold or buy then set your target selling price, forget

about your trade or visit and check it once in a while just to make sure your assets are safely stored.

Holding is very good for big profit. Its happen  with me many time when i sell any coin because of family need sometime coin price goes 3x or even 10x. Then i have nothing to do but only regret. Rich people can Hold for ling time and i believe that can get big profit.

holders not only come from rich person , every one could be good holder as long they have good mental and confidence to hold token. 3x or 10x profits was very good amount profits, you must be gratefull for every profits you got and never regret with every decision taken. if you invest with free money maybe you never complain about closing profit earlier due daily need reason.

This is another misconception that many newbies have, holding is not only for those that have a lot of capital, holding is for everyone, it is true that the more money that you invest and the longer you are able to hold the more profits you are going to have, but at the end of the day profits are profits, but newbies do not think like that they want to multiply their capital many times over, and while holding can do that for most newbies that is not enough which is why they prefer to invest in altcoins and then they get burned and lose their money.

One common thing I've heard over the years from many people is the quote, "all you did was buy Bitcoin."  It's funny to me, because I made my first Bitcoin purchase for myself recently and it was a very miniscule amount.  I've actually found the people who say that to me have ALWAYS purchased more Bitcoin than I have and yet never saw success because they sold and didn't believe.  If holding was easy, then that wouldn't be the case.  Nowadays you have lots of options to spend your Bitcoin, and many people feel the need to do so in order to lock in profits.  So next time someone wearing Jordan's on their feet tells you that all you did was hold Bitcoin, show them the holes in your underwear and tell them being wealthy isn't for everybody.  :D

they have strategies to earn another assets , and investment never took to get new assets , they will use sources that have to get it. Holding assets should not did if we still have another need to filled, make priority list so we will know which one will get first priority and just do it. 

That's true, for some people that don't have much assets they tend to spend those probable assets that they have for their needs if the time comes.

But for those rich folks that have already their assets on the hold, they generate profit from it to produce another assets. We cannot blame them as they've worked smartly which we should also think of applying to us.

So that our wealth will increase and as well as our holding in crypto assets.

Having other assets or investment or sources on where he could get some income then he wont really be minding of on holding his other assets that are on idle state or waiting up for some returns but also
in negative too and its true that holding is never been an easy thing specially to those who do only have that one investment he do rely on and there are lots of factors that would really affect your decision
but if you are really that strong will and dedicated into holding then you could really resist those temptations for you to sell early and its plausible on looking into those long term hodlers
although this isnt really for everyone.

More often than not, people want to make quick money, and they think of the word hold as if they would have to wait a few months.
People are simply not ready for the fact that sometimes they have to wait several years before they get a really good profit.

This is the problem when you invest the money you can't afford to lose. Projects really needs time to grow. Time for developments and to spread the word of their work for them to have more community awareness. Aside from that, market volatility and price manipulation from whales is really a thing that dictates its price action. What if you buy a coin and leave it in wallet for a year or so. Surely you'll have a profit way beyond expectations.

- The reality is that most people are ready to stay in the same position for months and years, but the time that people usually think is just a few blinks of an eye, it becomes a quiet space beyond the ordinary, only knowing to be silent to keep oneself from being shaken, ignoring the thorns, I hate to say that this is quite a bit of torture and honing. Maybe you are right that this life is not our principle nor our way of life, that becomes a cruel precept and many people just take one small step to refuse to participate and do not want to experience such a lifestyle.

 I am a crypto trader and also i am a little investor, but sometime i did a big mistake, 54k YOUC token was my wallet and then its value was $60 usd, so i decided that i will hold it for long time on my wallet. One month Later i see that its price has good increase and its total value is $240 usd, so i sold it, that was my big mistake, that i sell my all youc and next month its totall value has $3000 also still its value $5k usd. 

You cant consider it as a mistake since you made 4x ROI from your initial investment. You did not know that it will have bigger value after you sell it, did you? It is an usual thing and I'm sure many people experienced similar thing with you. You can say it as a mistake if you know in advance that your token will have bigger value but you decided to sell it in cheaper price.

You can learn from this experience, once you hold something and you see the price grows up, dont sell it all. Sell partial amount only and keep some others for longer holding. At least you have made from the first selling in case the price is not growing as what you expect after you sold some of your holding.

Mistakes like these are common because whom had thought that a certain coin would pump that high? specially if you've been holding some coins which arent known and just simply make out some pump randomly

where the first thing that would put up into your mind that you should really secure profits out of those coins as soon as possible and since we dont know on what would happen next in the future

then its just normal that we would really likely to miss out opportunity to earn more because we are in a hurry on securing profits when it do pumps but we didnt expect that it would even go higher.

Selling would be always our main priority and not all would really be  having the same mindset because some would really be preferring on making active trades rather than on holding
but this is actually on users preference since not all would really be that good on doing trading this is why they would go with the most easiest option but as mentioned that this
wont really be easy as it sounds because there would be several factors that would affect your mindset and emotion specially when you are trying to look  the market condition
very actively.

Holding need big patience,In fact, we can increase the original amount of currency held in other ways, and at the same time, we can earn some spreads without waiting for the currency to rise. Always trending coin can give you more profit than just holding coin.

Indeed. It is hard to hold when you have nothing else but the BTC you have or the coins your holding and if there isn't anywhere you could get money for your everyday needs, you will be forced to sell it in a low price instead. Holding is really need to have big patience. A lot of people want to hold but still they've been forced to sell it because of their daily needs. But, some of them are thankful since they've learned a lesson which they can make as an inspiration to their next hold of coins to gain more profit.

"hodling" requires faith. you can't do it rationaly

with that being said, venture capitalists do it actualy in a rational way by diversifying (you can't realy diversify in crypto only, though).
they will put their money in, let's say, 10 very high risk investments and "hold". they might be loosing half of their money because 5 of them die. 3 of them stay the same. but 2 of those grow 10 times.
So if they invested $1 in all of them, they got: lost $5 to the dead. kept $3 of those which didn't move. and keep $20 from the 2 which exploded. So they gained $13 with $10 even though half their investments died  

It’s not an easy thing to hold if you have no knowledge about risk management. It’s really important for you to know more about risk management. Before you invest that money, make sure that you already treat it as “dead money” where no matter what happens it’s just okay with you.

I hold Ethereum since the day it was just under $200, and now it’s above $3,000. You’ve also got to take a look at its fundamentals and doing your own research (DYOR) before investing.

That's right, it happens often. if they say they are impatient it is certainly not true because there really is an urgent need that must be met, so they must be forced to take that step. especially for those with small capital, this becomes a big challenge because urgent needs that come so suddenly can destroy the market strategy they have made before. The step to minimize this from happening is to not hold the coin for too long, take profits little by little but do it regularly so that this can reduce risk.

Investing in cryptocurrency and holding on to it is really hard work. Adequate experience and patience are required to hold the purchased cryptocurrency considering both the positive and negative effects of the market. In most cases, it is seen that when the market starts to decline, many people sell the stored cryptocurrency to them thinking of more losses. On the other hand, in case of an increase in market value and return on investment, investors want to take back the profit earned in case the market goes down later. On the other hand, in case of an increase in market value and return on investment, investors want to take back the profit earned in case the market goes down later. In this case, only skilled and experienced foresighted people can hold their cryptocurrency for a long time.

Holding is meant for the rich not the poor or average traders. Holding needs patience and is time consuming which makes it uneasy for short time investors and traders to hold there assets for a long time which can attract more rewards for an investor. Although it depends on the coin a trader is holding that will determine the strength and volatility of the coin.

holding means more patience becouse if you think that you make money in future life then pick a coin and forgot for few time thats way you make profit it you see a coin again again that you will not make profit becouse patience = profit

LOL, but this is not only related to bitcoin it is the culture in general, I always see people claiming they are broke and that they have no money while taking a sip from their Starbucks coffee while wearing their expensive clothes, and they are right they are broke but it is a choice they made, they do not realize that being wealthy is also a choice and it all begins with your spending habits, after all it I easier to reduce your expenses than to increase your income.

People are different but this is actually be happening in real life on where  there are people who do just sit on average financial status but turns out to be that more extravagant compared to those who are really rich

and minding about leverage business and income to sustain themselves but not really that showy nor that obvious which are the true rich one.They do know on how to make business grow and they do know

on how it works and make it sustainable.Hodling isnt an easy thing specially here on crypto because invesment isnt something that you could just deal without any seriousness in mind.

That happens when people want to imitate the lifestyle of the rich without having their net worth, after all I have met a lot of people in my life that make all kind of extravagant purchases because they want to feel rich but they do not seem to understand that there is a huge difference between feeling rich and being rich and that it is obvious that the latter is better than the former, and that sooner or later the facade they are constructing will eventually fall because they do not have the money to sustain it.

The idea that holding is for the rich should be discarded! I for one have held bitcoin for more than five years and I am not rich, I'm just a middle class!If you are in cryptocurrency for quick profit, I'll you will not be able to hold! If you wamt to hold your coin, first grt a job and go to work daily and leave your crypto portfolio alone!

This is reality on where there are people who do really act like rich but their money isnt really that sufficient when it comes on buying out their wants or trying to act to be a rich person.
It wouldnt really be sustainable if you do really have this kind of mindset on where you do really end up on debts on that case where you do push yourself to be one even if you arent that capable off.
Investment and other source of income could make others rich but of course this isnt something that you could just attain without doing anything.
In talks about cryptocurrency investment then this do involves holding and yes its never been an easy thing since there are lots of factors that would be affecting you.

In fact, holding is a very difficult job because you have to be very patient when it comes to holding. If you are not patient, there are some long-term invested coins that you can pump as you market. You want to sell them but if you hold them for a long time, you can get a lot more profit. So holding in the world of cryptocurrency is a very difficult and complex process.

That's why don't use the money for daily life to buy crypto coins. Just use the money that you can afford to lose. In this way, you can hold your crypto coins as long as you want. I suggest you not be too greedy or force yourself to buy coins while you don't have enough money. If you force yourself to buy, you probably use all money to invest in crypto coins. This is not the right way, it can make you get difficulties to fulfill your daily needs.

I don't find it difficult. When you're with the market for years, your patience and tolerance have improved a lot so holding is an easy job. But as a newbie, you're easily moved by the market every day.

And that's what you're trying to avoid when you're holding because whenever you see a plummet, you're likely to think that it's the end already. But don't forget that many of us went with that thinking.

Truly it's not easy to hodl but we must be disciplined in order to achieve our aim, truly be being rich makes holding easy because a rich man can just pull out some funds and buy up a coin and forget about it for a long time, but an average man with no much funds can buy a coin and tomorrow he got a need which is urgent and will need money and might sell up the  coin so quickly to sort out his needs, but so bad the coins a sold so quickly might be his life changing opportunity.

Holding is doing nothing. Nothing is not hard thing.

1. Buy
2. Wait
3. Target Profit

Seriously, what more? Drawdown? Of course it will go lower, if so thats an opportunity to buy more.

Holding is for years, just buy and wait, easiest strategy.

Other thing is DayTrading, that’s not easy thing. But even here, after several years we know how to profit daily.

Holding is an easy when you take it patiently,It's hard to control your emotion but patience is necessary to holding . When you make to holding then you need to more patience. Patience is key for holding.When you start trading then you can choose more valuable coin and logn time holding, I hope this holding can get you good profit.

It's true that holding is not an easy thing. Hold takes a while and will test your patience. Especially for those who have capital with mediocre money, this is a big challenge because if the market is down and suddenly they need impromptu money that must be met immediately they are forced to take money by selling coins at low prices. Hold is profitable for those who have enough money and will be difficult for those with mediocre capital let alone use their economic base money.

What do you mean by HODLing is for the rich? Anyone can HODL- to be honest, I started with nothing before I joined this forum. All the proceeds that I got from participating in campaign signatures, I kept them and HODL them until the price of BTC skyrocketed at the last quarter of 2018. After that, I sold all and profited almost instantly.

HODLing is not for the rich- it is for the people who have a goal of reaching long-term investments. The rule in HODLing is always the same- purchase low, sell high. If you are comfortable enough with the proceeds during the 'high', then you can sell 60% of your coin and re-purchase the remaining for a higher profit.

It's a very good way to rotate capital and diversify the portfolio. Personally, I just invest in a coin and hold them. I only reinvest if it's profitable and actually find something more interesting. such as YGG

Personally I've been in this position where I hold coins but I also need money for some purposes. It's not an easy thing to decide because my position at that time was in a pinch. I started selling half of my assets at a hefty price and after selling them I didn't dare to look at the crypto market again. Now I prefer to divide the money I get for assets and also for daily or sudden needs so that it doesn't happen again. So the money that I have to assets cannot be contested for purposes other than crypto. Now im more focused on turning assets in crypto so that they can feel the profits more.

but to exercise patience is not easy, especially people with mediocre capital, of course they want to make a profit and the possibility of that profit to be used to meet the needs of life. condition factors that sometimes become obstacles to make us psychologically easily disturbed

To get the profit fast the day trading is best for the traders, and another words it needs constant concentration and your daily profit, but you can say that in holding it is not mandatory to have always concentrated on the coins and most importantly the coins which can give you daily profit can also give you profit in holding.

It really depends on the characteristics that you have as a trader and the expectations that you have out of this market, for newbies that do not really know what they are getting into and that have expectations of getting rich almost immediately then holding is going to be incredibly difficult, however if you really believe in technology behind bitcoin and your expectations are conservative then holding is going to be way easier especially if you take the time to look at the market and enter when it's stable and not when it's going up.

We do have different target or goals towards our investment.Some would really be that eager on seeing profits and taking or cashing out in short term and some do really tend to held up for years before making some conversion.

Holding is never an easy thing because you would need to resist temptations on selling neither profit taking times or cutting losses times because market could only just go with those paths neither go up or down.

It would really depend or vary on you since its your money then you do have the full control or decision on what to make as long it would really be giving out some advantage.

Holding is so difficult. I always try to sell peak, but who's to say it is actually the peak unless you can see the future? Every time I try to sell and buy back lower i lose some opportunity if I would have held.

Hodling takes a lot of time and patience.  It's also not easy to do because we don't know how long we will hold it.  It also often happens that no matter how long we hold it there is no hope, of course, it depends on the coin/token you are holding.  Sometimes we lose even more because we have not done what we had to let go of, so the result is that we miss the opportunity to never come back.

Holding the coins for a short time can give you a little profit but it also depends upon the trading strategies and the coins that what sort of coin you have bought? As i'm talking about the coins like etherium, Bitcoin and bnb etc all these coins needs some holding and sometimes you would have to hold them for more time, then it will be difficult for some of the day trader, that are day traders and have some daily needs.

Holding is not an easy task. But the goodnews is that's if you master the strategy you will become successful on the long run .when you start holding try to involve yourself in other things maybe go fishing, take a walk or go swimming this will help you stay away from constantly looking at your portfolio then with time you'll realize you are going to be profitable .its not an easy task thou but if you  Master holding you will really enjoy it.

I find myself in a similar situation where I have to sell my cryptocurrency before it reaches a higher price. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that at the moment this is my main source of income and I constantly need money to live. But I don’t want to say that this is bad, on the contrary, earlier, before the advent of cryptocurrencies, I worked in different jobs, but I couldn’t even dream of the kind of earnings that cryptocurrencies bring. Of course, it is not always possible to make good money on cryptocurrency, since there are various bad moments, but this is definitely better than I had before. So I'm happy with what I have at the moment, but in order to earn more, you just need to work more and store part of the funds in crypto.

The insinuation that holding is for the rich is false!  Those who millionaires today in Cryptocurrency held bitcoin when it was nothing and they were not rich then.  The first to help you to hold is your believes and convictions about the coin you are invested!  Do you think long term outcome is more important than immediate 1-2% gain? These questions are what will help in holding!

The mostly traders who didn't have much patience and can't hold coins wants to earn in day trading and off course they can earn a lot and are still earning too, but holding needs more struggle as more people didn't have that much of money and some didn't have the ability to hold, so the best way for them is day trading.

that's why you have to use free money if you want to last long in crypto. because what we know now to do hold must take time and patience. if you only have one money and it is used for crypto you should be prepared to sell early if the need is pressed. think if you want long term holding

It is much better if before starting to invest or trade we have to prepare ourselves,
because we have to know that in cryptocurrency it is very risky so we have to be really ready if one day we lose money

An excellent post to talk about, I was thinking to post like this but you did a very good job. So, i would like to tell you about holding which comes to every trader in a form of patience, the more patience in trader, the more chances will be there for profit. As i want to say that getting profit is not that easy but taking some risks. So, i would prefer the day traders to give much time to trading.

I m a holder also. Yes its true its holding is not an easy task.  I hold and sell soke coins when i need money.  Its not a bad thing to do if you need you need it. You shouldn’t regret about it. And i be happy with what i get as a profit

It wont really be an easy thing because there are lots of factors that would really be affecting your dedication to hold for long term like;

1. Fuds
2. Fomo
3. Fundamentals or news
4. Emergency need of funds
5. Other peoples influence

Its really hard to resist for sometimes but if you are really that dedicated then you could really sustain yourself but it will
really be varying on each person because not all would be having the same level or on how they do handle their investment.

I would take that number 4 away, for me it's not part of what would influence your investment for the long term because you are supposed to invest only the money that you can afford to lose, therefore you don't allocate or invest the money that you are supposed to prepare for any emergency expenses.

If we do not manage our money from the very start, well, it would really not help us to hold strong for the long term.

In fact, those of us who are middle class always have our shortcomings due to which we cannot hold any coin properly. But there are a lot of people who have a high level of family, they may buy and hold different coins, one day it will be seen that they are getting enough pockets from everyone. Poverty brings pain in our lives. Even after that we don't have patience. Or our forehead does not faber.Sometimes it is seen that the price of the coin goes up overnight after we sell it.

It's needed to sell when you're in a situation that you have to sell.

I don't regret about selling on recent months but when I've sold before a few years ago, there's regret that I'm feeling and I think that I should've done that early.

But it's already done and we have to look at the present to avoid the same mistake.

Indeed. Holding is not an easy thing especially when you don't have strategies on how you will do it. Holding is not just for you to become rich, but to discipline yourself about such thing. Some holders lose huge amount of their profit because they don't have their own strategy. Newbies usually experience this since they don't have enough knowledge about it.

I think that in the sense of person’s wealth, it is not easy to hold coin for longer time.  Holding is not an easy thing. Individual must need money for daily use, but they had invested that money in trading. So they cannot hold it for longer time. On the other hand, if a person has lot of money and have patience, then they can hold the coin.

It's a case to case basis, to be fair. In trading or investing, it's a golden rule that "Spend/Invest only what you can afford" contrary to your view, why would you invest if you know you can't? This is one of the common mistakes any new trader would do, They allocate a huge amount of investment to it even as if nothing will lose. Some will co-relate trading with gambling or vice versa, but once you engage in trading you must be prepared at all cost.

So holding is not an easy thing? It is, as long you know what you are doing. You are acting with data/facts and not with a haymaker and a hail mary.

For me its also included and also not all people do make out investment that on the amount been put up is something that they could afford to lose.There are even people who do take loans for the sake of investment

which means that there would really be situations on where they do take out their investment specially if they dont have any options or choices left and when they do know that they do have investment then they will
likely pull it off despite on being on loss.

Hodling is something that is really hard to maintain considering on lots of factors that can really affect on ones decision then this do require that self discipline.

For some people sometimes long-term holding plans fail because of urgency of necessity.  that's why I prefer to use free money little and slowly rather than using main money.  because the result will affect the holding

That really happens and when there's an even more important matter to address and you have to sell for that, there is nothing you can do with it but to accept the fact that your long term holding has to be sold because you haven't anticipated and you don't made a back up plan for it.

Holding requires time and you have to understand that so that any amount invested for long term shall remain.

Before trading or investing in crypto, I think it is better if we have accumulated between the efforts we are going to do with the necessities of life that must be met, which sometimes become unexpected needs.
So when we invest or trade, it will not be disturbed and remain consistent in holding optimistically and without having to cut it in a middle way.
Strong holders, indeed more likely to be more successful for rich people, but I think everyone can be done, but it's just that at the start... must be able to consider the needs and the effort to be made.

It's actually not that hard. You are faced with difficulty just because your short-term expectations have not been met and you have not dealt with the stress.
Hold is patience even when it seems that there is no more strength to endure.

For a person to have a regular job and not dependent on trading and growth of his investment, it wouldn't be hard for him to hold. It's not easy when suddenly the price they expect is not achieved but instead plummet just like what happened today.

When they see the price went south, they feel hopeless that they are going to sell before their money is stolen from them. The investor who keeps holding despite the plunge of price are investors that has source of income.

This is true, holding is not an easy thing for everyone who doesn't have any funds in trading. But for me, it is important to manage your money and try to put an amount of money that is just for trading purposes only and do not sell your coins specially when you are getting nervous because of the price drop.

When you do tend to hold then you should really be having that strong will that you should stick into it no matter what happen or the condition of the entire market specially when theres some dump or crash

then its just impossible that there wont be any tingling feeling for you to consider on having a sell to cut loss but if you do have already fixed up your mind on something like this then you wont

really get surprised but instead you would really be seeing rather an opportunity for you to enter since everything is cheap.

by dividing it into several goals, such as trading and investing, it will be easier for us to regulate our psychology to remain calm. investing is not that easy, just holding the coins we have, but we also have to keep our psychology calm in any condition, not only when the market is experiencing a decline, but when the market is increasing, we must also remain calm, because floating plus does not easy to take care of

Before deciding to invest in cryptocurrency, good financial management is required. The amount of money we have needs to be divided between needs to meet daily needs and urgent needs. After we divide the two well, then we take steps to invest in crypto, meaning that when the investment decision has been taken, it means that before reaching the initial target we don't need to rush to sell it.

hello
i need some help from you my friends
Ive just started my way of investor. After some analyse i chose that it is good to buy some coin on Hotbit called TCR. The main factor was: it has an interesting website where you can invest in startups. I knew that news is very important, so after reading on their website some information what they made after last years I thought that its ambitious project.  
 But for real it is to hard to analyse everything in short period of time.
So please maybe you can give some recommendations about that firm, It will be nice
Thank you so much. BTC ::)

Don't think to hold the purchase of a loss, try to hold the result of a purchase at a low price. It will make you happier. Of course it takes a way, and you have to practice it. In addition, holding must also have a realistic target, not just to make a profit. It all can be obtained from practicing and doing technical and fundamental analysis.

You don't need to have funds to trade if you have no intention to trade but to hold.

If you have no plans of selling it, you will have to hold it without any need to worry about trading it. Holding is easy if you have surpassed the bear market and still holds some assets.

I mostly depend on the crypto field, for my daily basic needs i have to spend from crypto earning Because I have no job at the time and any
external income source. So this is too hard to holding coins for the long time.

In fact, it is not as difficult as you say. It all depends on your level of understanding and ability to follow your own plan.
If you just bought a coin and expect an increase, and as a result you get a decline and do not know what to do - in this case it is really hard for you, but not because holding is hard, but because you do not know what to do.

It is very difficult to hold coins long term. It takes patience and good faith. All needs are met before investing. If you say is btc only suitable for the rich? the answer is not always. Because even an ordinary person if he is good at managing finances he will be successful in investing btc

In such situation as yours, there's no time to hold as you needed to work with your daily profits, it's tough and really panicking when the market turned against you, you don't have options but to go with the flow and always find the best thing for your short-term trades. There is a situation that you needed to stop and try to re-enter the market in hope that you'll find dip that ready to bounce back, you have to be patience and have good knowledge with the asset that you'll going to use as a token for your investment.

It’s not easy to keep patience for a long time. We will want to see market conditions all the time. We will always pay attention to the price of the coins we have purchased. The best way to hold it is to uninstall the APP after purchase and not pay attention to any software.

Insist on holding for a long time is a good strategy for profit. Long-term holding requires sufficient financial support and a calm attitude in the face of market changes, as well as enough patience to wait for time.

It is really impossible that you wont really freak out or would really get stressed whenever the market price is really going very bearish or you would really be seeing your portfolio is really on deep reds.

Hodling isnt really an easy thing because each of us does have different goal or target and that what makes you do hold even more when you do really target out for long term profits.

Some do prefer on seeing in much shorter time frame which they do really mind off that much on taking profits on very active manner.The most important thing here is on to make profits
doesnt matter on what method you've been using or what goals you do have in mind.

This is what traders face who do not have enough money to meet their daily needs. the first step a trader must do is financial management, for me investing all the money in the pocket to trade is a bad way, when the need is urgent many people have to accept losses by selling when the price falls. So it's important to share our finances, no need to invest everything. Save some for other needs.

Yes holding is definitely not an easy things. Very big task for any cryptocurrencies holder, if we learn this lesson then 10 to 100x will be ready for us any time. Holdings are always difficult for traders that has low amount of capital because their daily needs not help to hold coins for big times. Those trader who has big money even don't remember his investment then he will gain really big amount in future.

it's difficult to control our emotions especially when the market is in turmoil, and a better decision is to hold it than sell at a low price. many people feel frustrated with it but all of it takes patience and also a mature mind. Based on my experience, I continue to hold the crypto that I have even though the price is good at the time. I believe that if I hold it longer then the price will be much better. but that's not it, the price is actually getting worse and from that I learned that don't be too rash and also make the best use of time to hold the coins we have.

Correction dude, holding is easy and the only hard thing I think is if you are impatience, lack of knowledge about the coins you are planning to hold in the long terms, I guarantee you that it will be hard for you to hold. But for the full of idea knowledge about what they are entering here in this field of business in the cryptocurrency surely everything would be easy for you.

Not that easy because there are really times that on when it do really poke us up on making a sell whether on a declining market or a market on where everything is fomoing or shoot up above.

So I do really agree that this holding thing is never an easy one if you are sure about holding into a certain coin/asset just because you do really believe into its potential then it is really someone

could able to take on and this isn't something that would really be just that the same on what others been doing.It will really be varying on someones actions basing up with their perceptions.

You really said something true that, "holding is not an easy thing."  Because sometimes we have to sell to meet our daily needs or we have to sell at the beginning of pumping for a small profit and then regret it later. In my case, what is more is that what I hold is dumped and what I sell is pumped. So now I am following the new strategy no holding just sell and cash out.

Maintaining a long-term holding is difficult. To ensure that there is sufficient financial support to meet other expenses and the money that is not invested when emergency funds are needed, to be able to analyze the market and market trends to predict the future direction of the currency, and to have enough patience to wait for profits.

To someone new, it's hard to do so. But if you've been grown in time and experienced a lot of bad times in the market, you'll be more patient enough to survive.

You still need to install it for monitoring the track and progress of your asset but I also do that if it's too much and there's a deep crash.

Yes long term hold is difficult if we are monitoring the market from time to time. Continuous dump for a week will surely make us worry. But if we ignore the market and believe on the coin that we are holding, we can make the long term hold easy. My friend did it. Her small amount of bitcoin left from her earning in 2017 was still on her wallet right now. I don't know until when she will hold it but knowing the difference of btc price in 2017 and 2018, she already gained a lot.

Yes, holding will come to every trader, but do they decide early on to invest? I don't think so. Every trader has a profit target, and it is not easy to get it. They have to be patient in order to get back the losses due to the dump market. But not all traders are able to be patient with this, so it is very important to have other savings for urgent needs and not to sell their assets in crypto.

Good traders knows how to deal with the market cycles, before taking any decision they already created sets of plans,

Making sure that they will not be affected of anything that happened around the market, they are just minding their own business waiting to how they

will execute their trading position. If you have this kind of plan, you'll not going to panic since you know and understand that it will going to your favor if

you know how to deal with it the right way.

I think holding is not for the rich,  rather,  it is for those who are disciplined and know what they want.  Holding is simple,  just buy and actively forget what you are holding!  The failure rate for traders are staggering and I once saw a data that concludes that 93% of traders
perform below simple buy and hold profit strategy!  If you are serious about making money in Cryptocurrency space,  you must hold and literally, a little bit more longer than average holders!

Ignore the value of the coins, not the coins themselves. Consider it a collectable, similar to the Pokemon cards you used to collect when you were a kid. When necessary, relocate them to a more suitable location and provide sufficient assurance that they will not be lost. That is all there is to it. Holding gets tough if you constantly watching the market as if you're going to get rich in a week or two. Don't do that, in my opinion. Holding is named that for a reason: it's for the long haul, and it's a very long haul at that.

Check the market once or twice a month, but always stay to the timeframe you've chosen.

Yes holding indeed is not an easy thing, you know why? You keep thinking what if the price drops, what if it is the peak? should I sell it now? in simple terms, you don't have any peace in your mind if you are just holding. If that's what you feel then you are not for holding you supposed to do day trading. Holding also is a type of mid to long term investment and it will really need some patience and discipline in order to hold coins.

You're not a firm holder if you're thinking about selling when you see the market isn't on your side. But that's the essence of holding because it's making you more patient and following your plan of just holding it until it reaches the desire price you set.

True and that's why it's not for those people that don't have temperance and looking to see their growth quickly. It's a long process that you shall see the worth of why it's profitable to hold and why many people do it.

If you have a good strategy to hold your asset and set a plan target before selling without worrying, the numbers of coins from your example

are good asset for long term, but you can also play it around if you already gained knowledge about this industry,
not easy but doable, depending from the knowledge that you have knowing how to anticipate the market movement.

Cryptocurrency mostly depends on luck. Its victory is not written in everyone's destiny. But everyone wants to be rich and Everyone wants to hold some good coin. But not everyone is able to hold their coin for the cost and dangers of his daily work. Very few people can hold their coins for a long days or year. They are successful in their life and they can be rich.

Everybody can not hold coin for long time and its have some reason, not have patience. Daily trader and new trader can not hold coin, becouse they want just instant profit, a many people instant sell their holding coin for crypto penic.

Yes I believe holding is never easy. Life threatening challenges may come which requires financial assistance and this makes you to sell off some of your digital assets. To be a very successful long term holder you need to find additional source of income that can keep you busy and help you always stay away from always refreshing and looking at your wallet all the time and this will help you hold your asset for a very long time.

Bitcoin reached another all-time high.
If you have been one of those people that have been holding and saw the lowest and the peak then you're good and it's worth your time and effort for holding.
Holding for others may not be easy but you won't also get a decent reward if you're impatient and that's why you have to learn how to hold.

Your point on discipline is right on target. Not many people know about delayed gratification, it is all about the NOW. Unfortunately, the poor always think about the NOW not so much further into to the future but this may be only my experience...

To me, holding is something I see when people have a clear goal and are not relying on their investments for their day-to-day expenses which I suppose makes holding easier. It also is a state of mind and for sure discipline plays a huge role!

Though, I agree sometimes holding can be challenging, but not at all when the markets are green and their future looking promising  :D

Patience would  really be worth but only if you do held up big amounts of coins on your stash and thats why most people do make active trades just because they do love to utilize the volatility
and would able to see profits in short term duration which it isnt really that a casual thing and also i do agree that holding was never been easy as it looks because there are lots of
factors which would really be affecting yourself on doing so just like on crashing market or fuds that circles around which will really give out that kind of impulsive emotion
which might lead to bad decisions.

yes it's true that holding is not as easy as it says because we also have to be able to decide when it's time to sell. but holding is a better thing to do when the crypto market is down than to sell it and do a panic sell. holding the coins that we have means we must be ready to accept when the time is right to sell, even we can take a long time. keep in mind that do not hold the coin too long and if it reaches the desired price, immediately sell the coin.

That happens many times with me. Exactly we have no control over this. But long term holders can really enjoy the actual trading.

Holding is never always easy,it's not easy because it's a matter of removing your mind from your money,which we all know it's hard.Keeping it for the right time.It has it own risk as well,but exercising patience is one of the major requirements for holding.

It looks simple to some people,but it's not really easy as we think.If you are a holder,you will know better what I am saying.Being able to remove your mind on it is another thing that seems hard in holding.

It is a matter and a fact that holding has never been easy. It may look easy for those people that have gained a lot from doing it but there's always the other side of the story and don't just look at the success that a person is getting due to holding. The matter of holding creates a lot of possibilities and problems along its way because forces to make you worry are there just like the FUD and other negative news that we don't really like to hear.

It is truth that is not easy to hold because I have an experience about it before. My experience was two years ago  when think to invest in some altcoin, after buying I decided to hold for long time but when holding the coin I bought was dumping, so I was upset with that current market price.
Holding may not be so easy especially for does people who are holding shitcoin.

Shitcoin refers to a short time frame, not for long-term use. Watching your portfolio almost reach your initial investment isn't easy. Investors who believe in the long run have some inspiration. I've got a holding that has almost tripled since and every holding is paying off. Holders won't complain about the dump, I'm quite sure.

Indeed holding a crypto coin is really not easy, because if someone is not patient enough, one can panic and sell due to some financial issues, but once you have patience and full caurage, you can keep crypto coin for more than a year.

You need to be more experienced to hold it because you need to be aware of what kind of feedback your held coins will give you in the future. You must gain knowledge of the market before you hold it, otherwise you may face losses instead of gains from the held coins.

The most important thing before we want to hold or buy a coin, that we must know well how good or how potential the coin is in the future. To know this, we need a serious and complex analysis. Not only consider the quality of the team members of the project behind the coin, but we need also to learn the whitepaper and their social media as a whole. Also, we must consider the current progress of the project whether it looks promising or not. So, it is not only looking at the market trend or gaining information about the market only.  ;)

Circumstances can lead to someone selling coin he/she never wanted to sell. Holding a Cryptocurrency is not easy, it always for the strong minded. I mean someone who can see the coin he/she Invested in falling in price, and still hold up to the coin without selling with the intention that the coin will pump up. Patience is highly required when Investing in long term. And also as you stated, the ability of removing your mind from the money been Invested will lead to holding a Crypto for a long period of time.

Obviously yes man. At times, even a small spike in price will tempt to sell off the coin we hold. There where a real patience is needed. Here where many tend to fall to the panic sells and loose opportunity to gain more profits. My friend was sharing a point yesterday that he sold off all the Shiba Inu coin few weeks back with minimal profits. He really feels bad for his quick sale. On 27th October, yes Shiba Inu really touched its ATH and he missed 200% profits in just two weeks time. So better to hold back, relax and see the coin grow.

Ofcourse,it is never always easy to hold because it requires a lot of patience,endurance and hope.
Another difficult thing about holding is knowing the right project to invest in and exercing patience is another virtue.

Most people do not hold because of the long period of time he or she has to wait before he makes gain,rather they prefer doing a day trading.Nevertheless,holding has been the best option for me.

My advise to those who are planning to hold their coins in the long term must really have a goal of how long they're gonna hold it,
is it 2 to 5 years of holding, it has a similar of time deposit, where it depends on the situation of course. If they see that they earn
100% or more the decision will depend on the holders just don't be greed.

The same with me. I always solve my financial problem through trading that's why sometimes need to sacrifice. At first, I always regretted when I saw the price of the token I had traded rise sharply but as time went on I also controlled my emotions which is important for a trader/holder.

Yes, it is not easy top hold specially for an average wage earner but on the other side, Holding is not just for a rich people but also for everyone who can afford to buy and invest in crypto despite of any situation and most important Holding is for people with a lot of patience.

it's true that if you don't have a profit target to take, you will feel disappointed when the price goes back down after an increase. It's a very difficult thing to control one's emotions to keep planning on holding on for a long time.
I think that no matter how long we hold the coin, it can't always be profitable because the coin price moves very quickly, so it's better to set a profit target than holding it for a long time without any targets. maybe we missed the peak of the koin price.

For the purpose of how long to hold, I think it's still not quite right. The right strategy and must be implemented is the target price that must be achieved. Whether it goes longer or faster, the most important thing is that the price target can be achieved.
Determining the target price is not only based on rough calculations, but there must be a technical analysis that must be done, because by analyzing using a high time frame will give an idea where to sell it. Holders are those who are patient and strong to hold on until the target is achieved.

Rish people have the advantage compared to the poor but I know that many of them have also been struggling hard to do it. of course, that is very easy to say that HOLD, HOLD, but the question is how LONG we can do it. Or we just hold when the market just rising up but automatically we sell it immediately once the market is declining?

Because the truth is that, not only rich people can do this, poor could still do this but it possibly not in the same time frame. As I think that these poor people can just hold for a shorter time than the rich people.

We do only realized that this is something not easy to be done when you are already on the actual situation.Hodling word might really easy as it looks but on

the time that you had stepped your foot then you would really be having questions in mind on when and how you would do it? Lots or several factors will really

be mainly affecting your hodling decisions which might end up on being changed or altered because you've seen things which aren't looking good specially on
huge corrections which emotions do mainly affected which it does really need strong self control on time like these.

Even in the case of a long-term hold, the investor has to plan enough about the next step. If you choose to hold a coin for a long time and buy and hold in the negative trend of the market, it can create a bad situation for you. It will definitely take a lot of patience for normal people to hold other coins for 2-5 years. So I think setting a profit taking target rather than holding on to time would be a convenient decision for the investor.

Obviously, I totally agree because funds also play an important role for us to be able to do the best possible action we can take. because if you have enough funds then there is no fear of holding on longer, because every 4 years it is certain that there will be an increase again.
it takes a long time to do what we want in order to increase to the maximum and achieve renewable ATH.

if those who have only mediocre funds will certainly see the situation, it is impossible to hold it for a period of 4 years (halving). because it is clear that those who do not have large capital can certainly make sales, when they see that there has been an increase that can be profitable, even though the increase may not be maximal. all based on insufficient funds and need to be replayed and needs are not disturbed.

easy answer , Why Hold if your not stable to spend your fund for daily basis?

never Hold a coin if you have no enough funds to support your living because our life is not based in speculative and it is reality.

Also why we are keep in telling people about invest only the amount you can afford to Lose or risk.

We all have this same experiences in the past and even up to now we still have this same problem , selling the coins we thought will dump  but tomorrow you'll find this will Pump more and more.

like in my own experience in Dogecoin but i never regret my decision because if i did not sell and when the value dumped i will be the first one to feel the sadness.

You are correct OP this is not an Easy thing , actually this is a very hard decision making .

 All forms of investing are hard decision making, short or long term will always create doubts in our minds. As soon as prices move against us our brain will ask why didn't we sell in time? We need to manage our thoughts to remain strong and not give in to the doubt. Because the doubt is not only for HODL investors, if we sell too early and see the prices rise again we will face the same problem. Our coins can be sold too early or too late, in both cases leaving profit on the table.
For me HODL is still the preferred strategy when it comes to crypto currencies because we are at the beginning of the crypto era. Many people have heard about cryptos but didn't buy them yet. It is still going to take some time for the majority of investors to hold cryptos in their portfolio. That is why demand will keep growing for cryptos and will keep the upwards trend going. The best way to profit of the long term trend is by just holding.

it's true that it is possible to take advantage of holding the coins we have for longer, but humans have emotions that not everyone can control them well enough to lead to regret and end up making mistakes that shouldn't happen, I think holding coins is a good long term plan or not. otherwise we must have certain targets, both time targets and profit targets.

Holding is not an easy thing for a trader to become successful in the market. When you are holding for long time like 1 or 2 years, it makes you feel the price should hit higher for you to supply and make a good income from your investment. Holding make you to feel somehow when the price of a particular coin is gradually increasing as a sign for customers to sell their coins before it decrease.
Following all the rules that guide long and short holding in the market, is not easy but if you can obey all at the moment, it hard for such trader not to make a good profit.

Holding coin for a long time is indeed good. But, to be sincere, is not an easy task. Whenever the price rises a bit, you will get tempted to sell, and it takes effort courage to hold for a long time. Many people are yet to get into the Crypto world, and also it have a bright future. I don't see point selling now. I also prefer long term Investment. I agree with you that no form of trading is easy, they are all risky, because you might sell your coin and the price rises. While you might decide not to sell, thinking the price will rise more higher, and it ends up falling.

Don't make trading your main job, the trader must have a real job. in trading must have good financial management, not all the money we have is invested in trading. Crypto trading has a risk of loss, sometimes the profit target we want actually causes losses. crypto conditions are so volatile, so keep investing and save other money as daily necessities and urgent needs.

Hodling is one of the most important ways or forms of getting by with crypto investments but one of the most difficult once to carry out successfully. Funny enough, everyone or should I say most persons or crypto investors knows this and yet, they still get to make occasional withdrawals from there crypto hodling portfolio.  Why is that? The reason is simple, humans have got needs or wants that needs satisfying. Some have got by the easily and continue to hodl because, they not only believe in cryptos and are aware to hodl but, they've got other streams of income to help them get by with the needs.for those that have got non, it becomes a huge problem. Haven't identified this limitation or flaw to your crypto hodling investment, uts best you source for other streams of income.

Trading is not an easy task, it is one of the many difficult tasks. Trading is such a sector here that you must face losses if you go to trade based on emotions. Those who have taken trading lightly They have been seen to face losses many times. I never include trading in my work.

If we look at long-term trading in the BTC market, hodling is not difficult when buying in the initial stage, that is, in the accumulation stage, which is where all millionaires buy, and this stage usually lasts between 2- 3 years, at least that's what I've seen in the BTC market. That part is the one that very few handle, in my case I realize when it is in the accumulation stage because I usually study the market with Wyckoff's theory, and for now the market in general for BTC, in my opinion is beginning its bullish trend stage, because there is still a lot to go up.

Exactly, whenever I hold my funds with big amount, I can't hold all. Most of the time, it used for my daily needs though I tried to secure that but ultimately I can't. Other expenses also responsible for this. It is a matter of sorrow that I can't fullfiled but I can say that atleast I try everytime. Hopefully that trying can be beneficial for me one day.

Everyone must have their own obstacles when they want to hold,
of course it is not easy and for sure the need is also growing this makes it more difficult,
despite all that I applaud you that you keep trying every time

sometimes people dare to try something because it looks very profitable. even they are willing to use the money they use for it. this usually triggers stress and annoyance to what is invested.
perhaps, in the theory of "patience, and restraint is the key to great profits". by reading this with screenshots of huge profits, people are willing to use their personal money to make funds. however, the reality is that it is very difficult to do. even that can be done for months or years, you may even be involved in a moment where the value of your assets will decrease and be accompanied by extraordinary panic. Well, holding on is not easy.

Wouldn't matter if you are a holder or would make out some sell decisions because this is something that could really changed up overtime due to some factors neither being affected with emotional aspects or with situational on which you do see that its worth to make  out some sell.

This  is why these kind of decisions would really have the chance to change up which it isnt really that surprising at all.For those who had able to hold
that strong then its really amazing because this is talking something about personal mind will.

Not all people really be having  that kind of dedication or mentality on holding their assets no matter what.

Planning is very important for holding. If you hold more than you can handle, it won't work. Hold all the time from your extra money.  Only then will your plan be successful.

You hold at the proper timing that you're planning to do.

You don't have to hold forever and you can also play with the market with the cryptos that you're holding. Like you hold today, tomorrow you sell and wait again for another day until the price of that crypto you're spotting became cheaper.

And that's the time you'll buy again to hold.

There's nothing to pity about though. The money you spent was really needed and it goes to something useful too. It doesn't goes to a casino so its okay. It fills up your stomach and pay your rent or even your tuition. Just stay positive. You did gains too but not that big. You can still have that in the future.

It is, indeed, the easiest way to hodl: if you have enough money for your expenses, hobbies etc, I agree that almost every human is greedy and even in this case you will want moar, but nothing to do with the person who has to pay an extra, unexpected something, and has nothing liquid but the coins he hodls.

Or you are extremely visionary, or you have too much fear to sell because of the regulation in your country, or you are already rich so it doesn't hurt you to keep your coins frozen for years.

This method is very difficult if it is connected to our needs, whatever for the cost of living, we only rely on the handle, then it will definitely be sold little by little to cover its needs, therefore we must be ready with spare money and investing in bitcoin is a very important thing. It's difficult if you don't have adequate funds, then I suggest that this should not be the same as your needs.

Make good management of your finances in crypto and also finance in your life it will be much better.

As long as we have firmness about HODL then it can be strong.

When it comes to investing then dont really go all in no matter what.Always consider that you should still have money to spare when it comes to your
needs because you cant really just go all in and wouldnt be having any money left for something important.You would really be fucked up on that case.

Money management is all you do need and of course you would need to be wise on how to handle out situations.If you are holding into something or simply with your investment then you should know on how to sustain.

You cant really just make out careless decisions on the money you've been using.Hodling is something hard but if you are really that much
dedicated then this wont really be much a problem.

Rinsing the market always gives a positive outcome if you know how to play with the timing, there are always opportunities but if you failed to make it on the right time that chance will pass on you, and you needed to wait again and repeat the same step over and over. It's true that it's not easy to keep holding your coin, but if you have good insight in the project, waiting is not a problem.

It will be compensated in the right time, aiming to achieved and working on it is your obligation, if you want to have a successful investment you should do your research and make sure that you will work according to your own assessment and not to be moved by anything.

Just as me.

I've passed on the past opportunities that the market has. Now, I'm taking the most possible profits that I've got but I'm also too conscious about holding and my future.

I'm looking forward that there's a greater reward for the most patient in the market.

Yeah... Emergency in most cases made people sell off their coins at a cheaper rate and live in regret when the coin moon.
This is common with bounty hunters who have little or no idea on long term investment couple with urgent financial needs.
So I can agree to an extent that the super rich have advantage in this scenario because they don't really care, they only buy and forget until the coin start appreciating.

There is absolutely no shame whatsoever in having to sell some of your stash because life demands it. Nobody on this forum would think less of you for doing something like that. What IS very shameful is letting your emotions decide your hodling pattern or selling out of fear. Thats definitely something that will get you laughed at by the veterans of this forum.

Having said that, any spare cent that person has, and is not putting it into bitcoin, is very foolish. Hodling fiat, which is a depreciating value, is nothing short of pure stupidity and has no resistance to the willingness of their government to suck up all the wealth of their people in order to keep them under control, like sheep.

If someone had to sell because life demanded them to do so, then at the very least, I hope they made a profit and were able to ease their burdens. ;D

Agree. You can only hold if you those investment you have are not from your daily expenses. It is easy to hold when the money you invest is from your savings by which you can simply forget. I also agree in not investing all your money up and ill add up some more wherein it is not good to invest all your money to one project only. Diversification is a must to avoid losses and to amplify gains.

Although holding is not an easy task because we may see ups and downs in the long run, we need to remain patient, but I recommend the short term to get the best profit and minimize the chances of a big dump.

Yes sure long term trading I think risky because if we do long term trade may b any project run and also we face.many big dump in long term but in short term we can also got a smart profit and also save from a big dump without any risk

as like me, i never got opportunity to hold long term a coin because of my personal cost. a lot of people can't hold for this similar reason. but patience is the next important fact in holding. hold an easy untill you don’t need to cost all of your money in shortly. i think others no big difficulty to hold for long time.

It is actually situational because not all people are financially capable when it comes to finances which they could sustain themselves without the need of cashing out those investment that they had in idle.

If you do make it as a living then its really hard to get hold of your position and you would be forcibly to do on selling on particular short time.

Its up on someones choice though but in most cases this had been the common scenario or situation made up.

It's a choice to make, not easy, but if you have that determination and you are fully knowledgeable about the benefits that's waiting for your investment.

Holding can be done. It's about good knowledge and anticipation of how the market will proceed. There are people who manage to work it out

and enjoy all the fruits of their patience. Waiting and trying to be strong while sometimes you see yourself losing hope with your assets, but because

of trust, you do manage to hold and wait.

If you want to hold then you can put some percentage % of your salary for holding crypto every month. You just have to put that money in crypto and forget about that.

Holding is an important process where you are immersed in complete uncertainty. If you hold for a long time, you can get profit, but if you hold for a long time, you have to face loss. I have suffered a lot of losses by holding a bounty payment.

Holding will only not be an easy thing if you are not ready for a long time investment in Bitcoin and crypto currency at large. So many don't have much money for investment particularly long time investment, that is why they can't hold for long term because there is always need for them to make use of the money they used for investment. And any time Bitcoin price appreciate in value they will be regretting why they couldn't have hold for a while.

It's true that we somehow often take a little part of our funds for necessary needs for everyday living, and there's nothing we can do about it even if it is painful to do, but we ain't have a choice either because we got to put food on our table to survive. This happenings in life is certainly way beyond out of our control but still we should give it thanks because we have what others didn't have, and it is certainly adviceable to invest in 2-3 different options to have a passive income as much as possible to avoid unnecessary withdrawal from our funds and we should take it seriously because that commitment will get us to comfortable life, not just for us but for our family also.
That specific mindset that tells "Holding is for this rich who can afford to buy and forget" , that specific mindset wouldn't get us to anywhere we want. Break the cycle my friend  ;)

It is difficult for many people to invest in currency and hold it for a long time. This requires sufficient financial support and patience.
For many currencies, holding them for a long time as their prices increase can make a lot of gains. However, some currencies are also prone to changes in price fluctuations, and prices will fall in a short period of time. Many people will sell their currencies because of their initial panic.

The act of holding a coin is thought to be quite reliable cautious at all times. It is also advantageous in terms of profit because users are relieved of the need to learn more about the market. Holding does not necessitate being active all of the time. Holding takes much longer but is less dangerous because it enables the firm to wait for the economy to grow.

It's really very difficult for me. Sometimes I sometimes restrain myself so as not to sell or, on the contrary, not to buy. But so far, at key moments, everything was ok.

Yes,very correct,it is not as risky as day trading.Holding just requires someone with a stoic attitude,the ability to exercise patience,because holding takes a long period of time,online day trading that is very quick.
In holding,one must be able to get his mind off it for some while.

Yes, I agree with your opinion. A lot of people can't hold for long not because they are impatient, they need money to spend in life, this is also a difficulty for those who are new to the crypto market and do not have much capital. I often advise people that, if they have a long-term plan, use their idle capital, it will not affect their daily expenses too much. Besides, it is necessary to plan and be really patient when choosing to hold a certain coin/token
