Bitcoin Forum

I own different crypto and mostly I stake with them because I am interested in the long return. With bitcoin I am actually doing nothing. Can you suggest any strategies to make even a little APR? I know that I can't stake with bitcoin.

If you are primarily interested in the long return, then hodling bitcoin is your best bet and would potentially bring you more profit than staking assets which are built on the PoS model. Not to shot on proof of stake, but one of the main reasons bitcoin actually increases in value is due to the controlled and reducing supply and how no one holds more stake on the network.

There are third party services that you can technically stake your bitcoins with, but as a common rule; Not your keys,Not your coins.

The difference between Bitcoin relative to the other cryptos is yet more apparent from the context of long-term value extraction by way of a yield. Unlike, alts where DeFi plays a major role in the utility of tokens for financial benefits, staking and what not...

Having said that, the long term holding of Bitcoin should in itself be a rather nice reward. However, while there are no staking per se there are place where you can earn passively on your Bitcoin holdings. Several exchanges provide this ie. Binance as well as institutions that deal with digital assets i.e. Nexo
So there are options it is a matter of choosing your risk level

While I get your point of view, there are times like this that I regret not being active in trading. For instance, I could have sold my BTC at ATH, a few weeks ago, and now I could have obtained a significant amount of BTC, by purchasing, using the exact same amount of money. It's called short-trading, while at the same time, I would continue holding.

On the other hand, there are quite a few things that can go wrong, such as an unexpected price change and so on, however, now I'd definitely have more Bitcoin.

What kind of cryptos? Proof-of-stake based ones?

Holding bitcoins gave the greatest capital appreciation this decade. Now that's definitely not nothing. Just knowing that you keep a so undervalued asset (with 180% annual yield on average) for so long provides the best risk:reward ratio.

You can either hand out your bitcoins to third parties or run a lightning node with much capacity.

I don't know what people do who are always selling and buying bitcoins with relatively short terms but until now I still believe that by holding bitcoins, we can at least be in something that will be good and this is the best decision According to me.
holding it for a longer period of time the better in my opinion because when they are traded in a short time, I actually feel like I'm just wasting time because the profits won't be too big, my current system is about bitcoin, namely adoption (especially when correction) hold and leave a few years, take profits.

if you day trade the risk becomes much greater, if you use the strategy of always buying in each fall and selling in each large rise the risk also becomes much greater and in these two cases you will be forced to know how to do technical analysis, then your best option at the moment is to do hodl


each person uses their own strategy

How much Bitcoin do you have? Oh ya, same as me. Not enough haha ;). While true you can increase your stack through a short trade, I wouldn't risk more than 10-20% my total position on this type of play. All it takes is one wrong market move and you have a lifetime of COPE and/or buying back higher.

There is nothing better than hodling Bitcoin for long-term and don't ever make mistake of liquidating bitcoin holdings into altcoins for staking, I would suggest you to hodl it for atleast two years (assuming you are in for long term and wouldn't be bothered or panicked by ups and downs), then compare the APY earned through staking and profit warned in Bitcoin you will not be disappointed for hodling Bitcoin.

Too little to be enough, honestly. However, it has all been acquired from scratch, without putting down any money. It was mostly through signature campaigns and some kind of microtasks I had completed, thus, my only investment is my work/time. I'm not holding a large amount of Bitcoin, it's roughly $1.500, the opportunity and possibilities of short-trade are endless, I honestly regret being away from the trading scene.

The reason I'm away for a long time now is due to the feeling of it being a burden, it drives me anxious and stresses me out, that's why I've opted for holding, without bothering too much about the market condition.

the same thing with you I also feel it, and some tokens and bitcoins resulting from being a bounty I have traded in the past to increase the amount of my bitcoin assets but the current decline makes me hold it maybe a long time because my bitcoin is only a small amount and hope to be rich with that amount

It's a very big misconception to think that staking or yield farming or whatever other altcoin investment instruments are better than buy and hodl of Bitcoin, because they are doing something over the time. The only thing that matters is performance measured in US dollars, and Bitcoin easily beats any altcoin investment over the course of 2-3 years, because while alts can have their moments of high returns, they will generally stagnate and slowly fall, so unless you are a genius short-term trader, you will be losing money by trying to play the long game with them.

If you want to stake it, it should be into a specific platform. But the twist, is that you're not holding the keys of it. That's why there's no staking in bitcoin.
And the actual is that you're lending your bitcoin to that platform, most likely it is an exchange and they'll give you a return for doing that. Not that much and not worth of the risk.

The question is, are you really willing to put your bitcoin in something that you didn't own just to target an APR by staking it?

Let alone hold do the thing. The return and potential are much even higher. If ever there's a platform for staking BTC, I don't think it will offer a good return yearly. Let your other coins do the staking and just hold your bitcoin while trying to increase the quantity of it slowly.

That's the difference if you're holding your Bitcoin and staking on it on a good platform exchange, speaking of a good exchange that can be trusted to hold your asset might be hard to choose right now.  Because you will never know when they will become shut down or there is a hack that will happen.

Ain't against staking even though you're not holding your private key but of course, don't put all your eggs there.  It should be the majority of your assets you have control over your private key and the rest is that you can afford to lose.

However, there's no one beat on holding, it gives a guarantee when it comes to the security of your assets.

You can actually do Bitcoin with several strategies. But the most effective strategy and generate large profits is to hold. Indeed, holding it takes a long time so you have to control your emotions well. But that doesn't mean it takes a long time so you don't check the market condition regularly, you just have to keep an eye on market developments. Hold is not the wrong decision, this can actually benefit you but it just takes time.

There are other blockchain networks that offer yield farming or staking.
There are some platforms that offer wrapped Bitcoin pairs. How to wrapped your Bitcoin? Well, there are multiple bridging platforms these days in which your particular cryptocurrency in the specific network is being bridged to another ecosystem/blockchain network, this is like pegged asset from another blockchain network.

I saw some wrapped Bitcoin yield farming or liquidity pools in Solana ecosystem, check Saber/Orca/Raydium. So that time you are earning some interest, but then again it is not 100% safe or guaranteed profits because you need to consider Impermanent Loss or maybe the platform itself can be hack.

With Bitcoin there is no staking access. As mentioned the risk we take through lending is big. There are very limited trusted platforms that give better rate of interest. Rather than lending one can try regular trading, which could get better profit and the bitcoin will be with us.

Many cryptocurrency network provide access for keeping the market circulation. Bitcoin have got this without any such act, which is also a reason why bitcoin doesn't have the staking access.

Yes, you have a point, and the reality is that many people are doing this and also advising others to do so, such as newcomers who are told to buy a bitcoin and hold it for a few years, which is extremely profitable. There are numerous ways to earn bitcoin through trading, but it is extremely risky and requires time and effort to learn. Additionally, staking, which is simply purchasing an altcoin with bitcoin and staking it to your prospect coin. However, if forced to choose one, I believe I would choose trading because I can truly say I am accountable and in control of my money.

It's either you become a short day trader, or a holder, or shift your bitcoin to alt coin and then move it back once you make profits.

But as bitcoin enthusiast, most of the times we don't want to complicated things. Sure we can make profits by trading, but in the end in will take a lot of our time and we might be pressured and make some mistakes along the way and of course there is a big risk.

So I guess the best thing to do is just simply hold for years and see your profit grows overtime.

Owning different cryptocurrencies is good but some people don't have the opportunity to hold one, holding bitcoin for longer years will make you make gain more than five months of holding a cryptocurrency of any kind, staking bitcoin i think it have duration before you will withdraw it from the platform

In my own opinion when it comes about investment in bitcoin I always choose to hodl it for a long term investment because it is already proven that hodling bitcoin is worth it. I mean we can also try short term investment or even a day trader of bitcoin but nothing best option for me other than hodling. Like in the current market price correction of bitcoin I choose to hodl my not so big bitcoin asset and wait till the next pump but the thing is I just don't know when it will going to happen again.

You are safer in holding mate and if you can handle waiting for long term then there is no need for this questions , we are all doing the same (though of course there is a chance that we are selling when we can clearly see the dumping and buying when the price is climbing) but this is not necessarily mean we are into selling , it is HODL that we mostly do and prioritized , because we believe in long term value of bitcoin and not just for today and tomorrow.
try to consider Holding half of your funds and do anything to another half.

You say this cause you are viewing it retrospectively and have seen exactly how the market played out over the past few days, predicting what direction it would take in order to know when to short is not an easy strategy and you would definitely lose out so many times. Everyone is a good trader when they have seen how the market plays out.

You think so (the highlighted part), because you're viewing the market retrospectively, attempting to predict it before it happens is much more difficult and risky.

Even the best exchanges, you just can't be sure with their security. Just be safe and convenient holding your bitcoin with your private keys and there's no need to ask for more about staking. But if you insist, then you've been told about the risk that you're going to deal with.
As said by the others, holding is the best so if you're just holding and you think that you can get more through staking, do it with another altcoin that you afford to lose.

If you do not have time to learn how to increase your bitcoin amount, then HOLD will be your best way to make a profit in the long term. But if you can learn about that, I am sure you will see many ways to grow your bitcoin amount. But you have other options such as lending your bitcoin to traders in the exchanges and even if the return is not much, I think that is worth doing as long as you know how much bitcoin you want to lend to them. In that way, you do not have to do many things and only watch the rate or the return day by day. But I still prefer just to hold my bitcoin in my private wallet.

That is what you called diversification in which the most preventive way to invest in volatile market like cryptocurrency.
in which we need not to risk our Money ins ingle currency when we can buy more, yeah we must priority bitcoin in which we need to put more than half of our funs , but at least learn to put also in other good altcoins.
because future of cryptocurrency is not only for Bitcoin but for the whole crypto market.

I hodl some of my bitcoins at Freebitco.in to get some interest and some gambling money. They have been operating for many years and they have virtually no scam accusations against them, so I trust them with those coins. (I have almost reached a 100% return on investment with the capital I deposited there.... so even if they scam, I still have all the coins I deposited.)  ;D

This is a risky investment strategy, but having my coins in cold storage with zero percent interest ..just felt so wrong. I have been doing this for years and it paid off.  ;)  (If you leave it, you get compound interest)

HODL is tested and right strategy for earning profits with Bitcoin. The only reason why its not liked is because it take time but it guarantees good return. The difference b/w Trading and Hodling is that in trading you win occasionally but lose mostly while opposite is the case with HODLing. I always lose in trading that's why I don't like it

people who hold bitcoins are the characteristics of successful people in the future, I dare say that currently the most valuable asset is bitcoin in the future bitcoin is number 1 and maybe bitcoin will be very expensive and will even beat fiat and even gold.

actually, you can trade with it. or you can use the altcoins you have to generate bitcoins and increase the amount. you can also try to do some mining to try to increase it.
to be honest, there are many ways to increase the number of bitcoins you have. however, there is no stake system as far as I know. Withholding is one method to take advantage of prices. however, if you want to increase the number, then there are many ways to do it. such as trading, and so on.

The question is why we need more than one option if HODL is already proven method of investing money into bitcoin. We all know that Bitcoin is crazy volatile and it can not be effectively staked, or you need excellent trading strategies with great deal of luck to trade it and earn bigger profits. I see hodl as win-win situation for everybody because as you go on hodling you are primarily decreasing the circulating supply thus creating demand surge in the market. This is one of the great way to increase the value of something. In this case we know that bitcoin is being hodl by the miners, investors, cold storage methods and big institutional investors. These literally form a basis for the bitcoin's up surge due to high demand. As we will go on mining the bitcoin it's gonna be lesser and lesser in the future (less circulating + higher hodling ratio). This will defintely impact on the pricing and it will keep raising which has been proven since 2010. So choose wisely.

In this season we are right now, holding is the best solution that will attract massive income in the future. Since the price of bitcoin is still between $45 to $47 it will be better to hold for long term for the price of bitcoin to hit $100 before you can supply to the market for profit making. Many investors are still waiting for the price of bitcoin to drop to $40k before they will now believe that we are in the season of holding and watch for  the market to change positive.
Anyone that follow this strategies of holding in this month of December will really achieve a lot from the market when the price of bitcoin is increase to $70k before the end of this year 2021.

Aside from this, it is also risky because of the popular saying, Not your keys not your Coins. I don't think staking Bitcoin I any other platform I what I want to recommend for any Bitcoin HODLer or do myself. I will rather just Hodl my BTC in my wallet if I truly want to do a long term strategy and not bother about staking.

Yes, it's the only way to save your Bitcoins when the market crashes. I'd rather hold Bitcoin than sell it even though the price of bitcoin is experiencing a very deep decline but I believe from my experience that the price of bitcoin will rise higher after this and will probably reach its latest ATH price.

HODL is the most used strategy in the community and it's for a reason - it could bring you the highest profit. Just look at the price in the past period, whoever held made a lot of money recently and mostly likely will make even more if they hold for even longer. Of course, there is a high risk of doing so, but I think it's better to have a long-term investment. You could use a more active method of trading such as riding the wave or investing with smaller amounts, but you will risk every time and holding would probably make a higher profit. I wouldn't recommend staking Bitcoin, just as a lot of people in this thread said, it is risky.

No other than holding mate. So if you want a good return must keep holding especially on this kind of situation, because its not a good decision to dump wherein the price is already made correction, so i suggest stay away on the market, take a vacation instead because its not good to see the market gradually decreasing to be honest. It's a heart breaking moment. Lol

HODL is not a strategy, its the way if you incapable of doing anything else and it work best with bitcoin.


 

Why not? I know that exchanges accept Bitcoin staking but if you don't feel like doing this, then holding is the ideal thing to do.
You may try trading as well, I know that this is risky but it is somewhat to say that we are good at this, you could earn more than just simply staking to the exchanges. But if you think about the safety of your funds, I suggest you just hold and never touch them. Holding 5-10 years, I believe the price of Bitcoin is too expensive.

Honestly in the current market situation it makes me feel confused because there is no other way to make money than Hodl, and that is the best way because other options in my opinion are very risky because current market movements are difficult to predict.
looks like the OP is confused and my advice if you don't have the ability to do anything in the current market situation better Hodl, because To do anything in the current market situation is very risky and Hodl is a way to minimize risk and also to avoid worry, and that most importantly be patient because the increase will definitely occur even if you have to wait a long time.

To be really honest, there's pretty much nothing you can do with your bitcoins to grow it over time.
There are some workarounds but that will involve moving the bitcoins from a noncustodial wallet to a custodial wallet.
Not your keys, not your coins is a popular saying in the bitcoin community to make you aware of the risks involved in not holding your coins.
So there is no safe way to increase the number of coins while you are holding. If you do consider to take the risks then yes there are some ways.
Lending, trading, staking through 3rd parties etc... are some ways but I won't recommend it.

Holding is the best way to make through.

Alternatively you can learn trading your bitcoin though a very risky method, it takes a lot of research and learning on how to trade, as a newbie in trading it's a bit difficult to make profit consistently except you will pass through the learning process which might take a long time to be able to accomplish your aim that is if you wanted to trade your bitcoin, however there is no short cut to learning trading else you will lose all your bitcoin, if you can't grasp or learn how to trade then hodl your bitcoin, which is less risky but small returns.

HODL is one of those strategies that will net you income for long-term purposes. Personally, I consider this strategy as one of the safest  and most effective in terms of earning cryptocurrencies hassle free. You just purchase bitcoins during the bear market and HODL it for long-term; you may cash it out depending on your goal or once it reaches the price that you are comfortable with.

Given by the fact that forks do happen, it is inevitable for the denominations of the release of BTC as a reward for miners be reduced. This results to its price increasing in the future which makes this strategy effective for long-term.

Indeed, there is no way for BTC to place bets to receive passive income, there is only an option to just be a holder or start trading BTC. The second option, as for me, is more risky than the first, but if you get skills in trading, you can try to trade BTC, which can also give you additional profit in BTC. But if I made a choice, I would probably just remain the holder of BTC, since all other options are difficult and very risky.

Maybe just keep holding, you said that you already have different crypto and stake it means there are a risk when you hold that because altcoin sometimes get pump and dump. If use that bitcoin as back up capital, then you can back up ur assets  immediately when something bad happened because if stake it too, will need time to unstake it again.

hodl it is a long term investment ,a strategy that can grow btc only trade or can lend it to a trusted person in order to get more returns ! best advice is just that but if you don't want to take more risk just buy when you want and hold long terms on until you get good results price to sell like you hodl on the altcoins you have !

To hold is the most common strategy used by investors because it's considered the safest way of investing by many, since you don't need to rely your coins to third party hands, such as the investment platforms which pay a small annual interest percentage over your coins. So, of course to hold isn't the only strategy, but I can't say what is the best one for you, as it's a very personal choice that can be only taken by each and every individual.

I say that because investing your bitcoins involve risks that you must be aware before doing so. And if someone tells you to put your money somewhere and if for some reason it goes wrong at some point, you will want to penalize that person who advised you to make the investment for the issue you hypothetically might face futurely.

Actually there are many options to be able to make a profit from Bitcoin and HODL is not the only way to be able to make a profit from Bitcoin.
But HODL in the long term is the most effective and safe strategy to do if we want to make profit from Bitcoin. Maybe if we already understand
how Bitcoin works, we can try to practice trading, and take advantage of the volatile Bitcoin price for day trading. The risk is very high, but we can
generate regular profits in a short time. Day trading using Bitcoin I only recommend for people who do have good skills in analyzing the market.
But if we are newbie or not yet experienced in crypto world, HODL is our best choice.

If you are betting long term, I think it is very appropriate, if your needs are not financially compromised. some other bitcoin users sometimes have to let go for various reasons. You've planned in the long term, you must have great patience for big changes.

To make a constant return on your bitcoins you would need to sell them and buy them back later at a cheaper price. With the high volatility we see at the moment in the crypto market there are definitely opportunities to make some returns. The problem is that every time we trade we have to pay transaction fees and have the risk to miss out on the next rally. It all comes down to how much time and money you have to spare. I would recommend you to leave 80% of your bitcoins with the HODL strategy, and only use a small fraction of your coins to actively trade them.

There are people unintentionally forget their stored balance since they didn't know that bitcoin would go this far and also the price before is so cheap which people didn't even bother to check it. But for now well I think many will check their holdings especially there's a huge amount at stake and mostly average traders cannot take to hold for so long and see how the market goes especially when the price collapsing badly.

I would recommend DCA strat, just slowly build your position over time. But don't forget to take profits from time to time.

This is actually what I'm currently doing with BTC and $ANRX (https://anrkeyx.io/), and so far, I've been profiting, especially the 42k dip of btc.

Nope, hodl isn't the only strategy for Bitcoin but it's for those who are scared of trading it. Only those who want to play safe go that route. Otherwise, one can safely trade to increase their quantity if they've the trading skills for it.

True, and sadly so.

Sorry, hodl doesn't grow or increase your Bitcoin. It only increases the value in price (that's if a bull rally occurs) and it can also decrease the value in price (if a bear rally occurs).

You might not be able to stake Bitcoin, but there are some exchanges that would allow you to invest your Bitcoin and get profit from it per annum. It’s quite similar to when you are sticking your other cryptocurrencies as you have said. You can be getting like 6% but uncommon and some of them would allow you to withdraw it at anytime that you would want to, which is a pretty good thing if I’m to say.

And apart from that you are also standing a chance of making profits as the market keeps fluctuating, when it goes off you make more than enough profit from it. Even by just holding your Bitcoin is enough already, because Bitcoin has a tendency to keep on increasing as time goes on. We have seen that over the years.

OP, I think you should have to explore more and get familiar with the market. There are a lot of ways to earn and grow your Bitcoin and it was ONLY you who could decide what you gonna do. But of course, it all becomes more risky than usual and you should have to think it first before trying.

Indeed, right but that is too scary when you go trading without knowledge as having a bigger chance to lose your money. If we don't do anything and we just HOLD, that gonna be fine but we never think that we increase the quantity of our Bitcoin, only its market value as the price fluctuates.

what else can be done other than hold when the market is going down like this. back to our first goal, if we aim to invest it takes a longer time to hold it but if we focus more on trading then of course we have to manage and use it in the near future. but for me bitcoin is good for long term investment and currently the price is also falling so its better to hold than to sell it and get the big loss. but if you want profit in the near future you can choose to trade with coins that are good in the market, I think it's a good choice.

Bitcoin for the long run i know people like you is same like me that love staking and farming but dont be sad u can still stake ur bitcoin while waiting for long run on DeFi app but first u need wrapped bitcoin from exchange like binance or other cex and then u can start invest on lending platfrom usually like venus but most Centralized exchange currently have Bitcoin staking make sure u to check it

Assume you have weak hands, not being certain battle against dip then what you should do or what you have confidence most? Reality is, If you can't HODL through the dip and more, you most certainly are a paper hands who doesn't merit a lambo! I was with my portfolio about seven days prior 20k. Down to 14k at this point. As yet holding cause I see long haul with Bitcoin. I used to get scared of the dips however truly I invite them now.

During dips or down pattern most strange investors generally crypto dropping most of their percent and start pissing in the pants then sharing their horrible experience.

look at how you posted this thread recently

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5375579.msg58632777#msg58632777

pretending to be just find out about that SM and asking community about this but your name stands directly to that site and also all of your posts are pointing to advertising this one.

do you think we will trust you with that?

dolding is the strategy of holders . and if you want differently then this is not what you need to do .

try trading or mining .

Hi, Mpamaegbu. You say it as if it were an easy thing (like when you say "safely trade"), and it is not, it is rather easy the opposite. In the stock market only a small percentage of traders are able to make money in the long term. I speak from memory but the percentage is less than 10% and in the crypto market it will be similar or worse, with all the volatility there is.

On the other hand, HODLing Bitcoin has given an average return of over 150% per annum. If we take into account that Buffett has a 20% return over the long term, not bad at all, eh?


I could say the same about trading. Only increase your Bitcoin if you are one of the small percentage of traders who are able to sustain profits over the long term. If you're like the vast majority, you're going to lose Bitcoin.

Agree with that..

When you hold your coin especially for long term, this is the best tip i can give -> Checking crypto prices all the time is absolutely useless, unless you're an active highly trained day trader. Constantly checking prices will only cause you unnecessary stress!

Depending on your asset type and the strategy you may have different plans for yourself if you are just talking about bitcoin in my own idea holding bitcoin on your own wallet is the best idea to get benefit and keep your asset safe from and risk but still there can be some options and these are not recommended at all, for example, you can hold your bitcoins in some exchanges where they offer some investment plans how it's not safe at all and even if you use famous and safe exchanges your funds are still in danger and the option can be putting your bitcoins for collateral and take a loan to work with the money and earn more, all these methods are dangerous and if you check the bitcoin in long term you can see the best option is to holing for the long term in your own wallet.

Yes, that's the point of how we organize Bitcoin into a valuable asset without risking it and always keep it in a secure wallet. The best strategy is how we manage our emotions and finances to get long term profit. Patience is key, as the CEO of Binance tweeted "if you can't hold, you won't be rich. that's how crypto works in changing our mindset in investing on bitcoin

For investing in Bitcoin, the best strategy is HODL Bitcoin for long-term. Especially for people who are busy and don't have much time to monitor
the market, highly recommended for long term investment. Because the price of Bitcoin continues to rise every year, so we just need to be patient
holding Bitcoin until it reaches the target we want. Holding Bitcoin in the long term is the easiest and safest way to make a profit. So it's no wonder
many institutions prefer HODL Bitcoin in the long term.

For people who go into crypto with the aim of long-term investment, of course holding Bitcoin held for a long time is something that must be done. to set goals, I think it depends on what we want to achieve (everyone has different plans).

but for those who come to the crypto market for their daily needs, trading Bitcoin in the market is not something impossible. the key is in our skills.

I did both, it does require more capital to trade Bitcoin than altcoins to make it easier for us to get profits faster (for day trading). but I've done it. separate bitcoin for long-term investment. and bitcoin for day trading assets.

The first thing is that we make up our minds to hold the crypto and bitcoin in particular. If we do not make our mind, we may sell it early at very little profit. If you want to be rich with crypto, you need to hold it for the long term.
Once, you decide to hold for the long term, then you must choose the wallet wisely where you will store the crypto.

Many time we sell bitcoin for little profit. Bitcoin already proved their development and price. Bitcoin is most valuable and most popular coin.So people interested in bitcoin much more Than others coin.I Think we Change our mind investment in bitcoin   coz if we can't hold bitcoin, we Won't be successful.

If you do deal with centralized platforms then better skip into that and it is much better to hold your coins on your own wallet rather than entrusting them
and been locked for a year where you couldnt able to claim or pull it off excluding to those anytime where you could get those funds.
For Bitcoin then it is really good for holding since we know the potential but for altcoins? Its a personal kind of choice
and also neither bitcoin or alts you could also opt on making active trades even though the risk is high but you could potentially
make profits in shorter duration.

HOLD is one of the strategy. There is also trading but it is also very risky.
Every hold of Bitcoin may lead you to have some profits, but it always also jeep risks.
Btw, we can also holding oir Bitcoib while staking or farming so that we can also accept the APY  and about HOLD, besides Bitcoin, ensure that your altcoins to hold are very precious and promising so it will not end as shitcoin. .

Hold can't be the only strategy because there are many other strategies that can be taken by making a profit. the proof is that yesterday when the price of bitcoin broke through $68k, it could be sold and bought again when the price dropped to the lowest price of $42k, how much profit did we get and how much time was saved. while if it continues to be held and the current conditions how much profit has been lost and have to wait a long time to be able to return to the highest price.

Yes! buy low and sell high is another opportunity for the investors if they wanted to gain profit other than holding for the long term. But it requires a big amount of capital since as soon as the price rise again for a little percentage, you gonna sell your BTC right away. Unless you switch to hodl a little more longer to maximize your profit. Most of the investors go for a long time hodl because they invested some money they can afford to lose. in other words, those holding for a long term, have already sacrificed their money for the sake of rising the price further more.

Well, its true that Bitcoin doesnt allow staking unlike other alts wherein you can stake your coins (like ETH for example). But for Bitcoin, holding alone is the best way to generate profit from it specially for long term.

If you track the price history of Bitcoin you'll know how the value continues to grow for the past years up to now. Just shows how effective holding is, if only an investor is patient enough to wait and not in hurry to profit.

I have the same opinion. Giving someone your bitcoins to gain an "even little" annual interest rate is risky and dangerous, because at present the cryptocurrency world is full of fraudsters. The golden rule is "Trust no one". Even here, on the Bitcointalk forum, some people take loans in BTC, and then they run away with stolen coins. Of course, the profiles of such users immediately receive negative feedback and a scammer flag. In any case, lenders suffer damage.

In general, I agree that HODL is the best financial strategy. However, I am not against investment plans offered by BlockFi, Binance and other large platforms with a perfect reputation. I think that at least 50% of your funds should be in your cold wallet. You can lend the rest of BTC coins for credible legal entities or trade them in cryptocurrency exchanges.

There are many strategies that we can do with bitcoin such as day trading, arbitrage, staking and others, all of these strategies can certainly benefit us if we can do it well and have knowledge, but in my opinion so far these strategies have been proven and can really give us the bigger advantage is holding bitcoin for the long term.

HODL is the only strategy used in bitcoin. People who bought btc in some dollars or some hundred dollars and they waited for some years and today btc gave them a huge profit and people are still holding and waiting for btc reach in 100k$

As they have already suggested to you, the best solution for bitcoins is to keep them for the long term, playing with other cryptocurrencies is a good idea, but you must always know the projects!
As I always say, in the past I have made mistakes with bitcoins and also with altcoins, but you learn from mistakes

Holding is not the only strategy. The idea is to buy low and sell when price goes up and then wait to buy when it dips again. That's my strategy.

I don't know if some will consider this as staking but there are some apps that offers an X amount of percentage per year just by putting your Bitcoins in their exchange and hold it.
Basically it is just staking but under a company or the app not by the developers themselves. In reality, there is no way to stake Bitcoin like the way Cardano, Tezos, Ethereum and other does.

You can try it if you want but do it at your own risk since once you tried it, you will not be the one who has control of your Bitcoins. I'm just putting my Bitcoins into my Cold Wallet and I have no plans of putting it in these apps. It will just earn thru capital appreciation in the long run. Good Luck :).

if you can't stake bitcoin, or you can't do other techniques like bitcoin trading. then the best thing is to hold. because, by holding you just wait for the price to increase and after that you can sell it when you get a profit. I think this step is the most appropriate because it is the safest

The important point is that holding is harder than buying and selling.
sometimes many people are tempted by a momentary emotion so that they forget the initial target they had.
On the other hand, holding on to the assets we have is also often hampered because it is an urgent need.
So it is highly recommended to make a mature strategy and have to make decisions and invest with money that will not be used for a long period of time

Maybe it's not the absolute and only strategy but most of the time, we are sticking to this strategy more than others because of its degree of disinterest, not caring here is not watching the market, not worrying about time, there will be many problems along the way but even with so many detours, we are never left out unless we want to cancel. While the great evidence you say is the strategy we are most prone to tripping and falling because you only see the things that have happened but the things that have not happened will be very difficult, no one knows where the wormhole will be and when the way to heaven will be revealed

Well holding is the most very common method to have a good return though there are too many investors sometimes staking their assets the problem is if there is a right exchange that we can entrust to hold our fund for many years or months perhaps. Keep in my mind that we should have our own private key as always upon keeping our bitcoin and hoping that it will return for a long term, on an exchange that is very risky. Staking and putting your money in the bank for storing it and hoping a small percentage of return is relatively the same. Be your own bank as always.

Certainly, it doesn't make sense if you check the price daily, it's not that it will suddenly reap you serious profits overnight. Checking it daily will make you feel more anxious if see that the market is declining than usual and it's not what you want to see. So if your plan is for long-term then be patient, that's all you can do for now.
But if you want another strategy to gain then being a trader will be suitable for you, but I warn you, it's not so easy to begin with. You need to check it constantly, like time to time, and really requires patience and time in-order to gain.

i have the other crypto, when the price is good, i will convert to bitcoin then hold till the price is good for me. i think, this method happen to the lazy holder. its not unfavorable for holder, but another way give you more profit than hold till the end.
im just not sure if spend money in newcomer, we have own thought and afraid about something bad. best thing is need to invest in altcoin.

The main topic here to utilize our capital which is the best trick when the market goes into the bearish momentum .We all know that crypto market is always a high volatile market so that anything can be happen here .I have strong confidence that bitcoin will always give us a good return just we need to become patient but we need to make a target as well where we really wanna exit after getting a huge return .I just wanna share my tricks which is mostly related here we need to buy more potential coin of the 505 of our fund on different coin when market goes on bearish momentum .It will will help us when market become turn into the green stick .I think it helps more from recovering our fund even we can get a good return .I am not suggesting to follow my tricks DYOR always before enter on the market mates .

HODL = long-term
Day trading = short-term

If I were to choose between the two, I would choose to hold for the long run. That’s what I have failed when I have BTC before and ended up regretting myself not holding any further. In this way, it’s less riskier than day trading in my opinion.

If you’re making use of exchanges like Crypto.com, there is an option for you to invest your bitcoin and be getting about 6% per annum. But HODL is not bad either, because you’re still going to be making good profit whenever the market starts going up. All these staking and investments apart from just holding my coins never really interest me.

I’m always satisfied with just investing my coins and the profit that I am making from just investing the coins, because good amount of profit comes from HODL’ing the right coins. So if you have your money invested in the right place you wouldn’t even bother about staking and all that, even if you do, it will just a little change that you’re taking from the market.

I think that hoarding and holding Bitcoin for a long time is the best way to get high returns. Its value may drop in a few months, but the goal is long-term, its growth potential is still very good. You want to get a little more profit from Bitcoin, you can trade daily. However, this way is very risky, you need to have knowledge of technical analysis and market assessment or you will lose money.

You are risking your Altcoins in the long term for huge returns, why don't you do the same with bitcoin. You are a person who makes long term investments, this is actually very suitable for bitcoin. Don't look at bitcoin's value because it's high, but invest as much as you can afford for the long term. Before you do that, you first analyze the exact time. Don't let your long-term investments ignore current market movements.

until now I still believe that BTC is good for long term investment. if you want a long-term investment then it would be better if you choose a coin like BTC, at least there is hope to be able to make a profit even though you have to wait a long time rather than waiting for a coin whose prospects are not clear. but everyone has their own opinion so it depends on how they manage their assets.

You're wrong, hodling isn't the best one but it's a forgivable strategy and it's not even a strategy, it's like a test. A test for your patience of how long can you endure the temptation to sell when things are going well but it's not your price point. Staking bitcoin or even putting it in a gambling site although there's a risk is a better one since you can increase your bitcoin.

Exactly, it requires zero effort, just being patient, hoping that eventually it pays off. It's definitely not the best strategy, a combination of several methods, such as short-trading and holding is definitely more beneficial.

I regret not selling a month ago, at the all-time high, and buying back when the prices dropped. To summarize, just holding might sound safe, but taking risks is definitely more beneficial.

Hodling alone is not the only strategy in crypto.
Swing trading is also part of it.
It is just like having your fiat in your bank account dormant in there for years without moving around, it has to move around.

You can bet on altcoins for the long term, you should be able to do the same with bitcoin. Altcoins in general always follow the price of bitcoin, so it's very much in tune when you do the same. Talking about hold, you must have a profit target. We don't always hold back, but there are times when we take advantage of it. So I think you should set a profit target. so you know where to let it go.

if we do not have sufficient knowledge in terms of trading, I think investment is a suitable choice for beginners. but it also has the consequence that we risk it in the long term so that we can make a profit later. High volatility makes many novice investors panic sell and end up losing money, they don't get what they want

Hodl is not the only way but I think it's the best way because Bitcoin takes a long time to go up or down so it's a good idea to apply the long term method or hodl. But on the other hand you can still trade with short terms, you must monitor market conditions as often as possible. But you will not get as much profit as when you do hodl, the advantage is that you will get profit faster when doing short term.

Panic will only result in loss. Beginners who have just started trading are very likely to panic, due to lack of knowledge and unprepared psychology when trading.
holding back will be a better choice than having to sell at a low price which will result in a loss. The high volatility of bitcoin will make the price change faster, so it's just a matter of waiting and selling at a higher price to make a profit.

investing in crypto is sam like the other, how long you can hold your desire to sell your stuff, but it doesnt mean you cant do anything with your coin. you can trade your coin every price give you profit, thats why you must separate your main fund with other. the main you can hold for a long time, and the other you can trading or following new crypto, who give you a choice, planning for short or a long time.

Holding is only for the investors who lacks the time to put an extra effort to maximize its gains as much as possible, like the ones that have a main daily job like me. If only I have an extra time, I would love to learn how to trade weekly until I know how to do it by daily basis to have more profits.
Yes that's right, trading isn't an easy task or job to do because chances are it would make you greedy, that's why maintaining your emotions in a calm state is a must to avoid some losses in the future and to avoid mistakes. Aside from that, I joined a signature campaign in this forum to receive extra bitcoins weekly because it's all the time I can afford for now.

You have several types of Alt and you are betting for the long term, with big gains. this is a good idea, there is nothing wrong with this strategy and you can use it on Bitcoin. I have a general view when looking at price movements in the market and this is common with all types of altcoins. when bitcoin goes up, all Alt follow up. there is even confusion for every trader to choose which Alt to invest. I think bitcoin is the main choice as a long-term investment, the rest you can choose other types of Alt as your next investment.

Well holding is not the last and only strategy but it is the best one of you want to gain a lot from bitcoin.
To hold it for long term can give you a lot more profit then you have ever thought

Long-term holding is definitely the most effective investment method, and the principal can be withdrawn gradually, which is relatively conservative.

Hodl isn't the only strategy for Bitcoin. You can earn from Bitcoin through other means such as trading although you might not get the long term profit as the market volatility keeps moving up and down. To earn in a long term holding should be the only strategy. Just buy hold of the price drops buy more and hold since you have other portfolio where you still earn from you simply pay less attention to the price fluctuation

Staking coins for the most part is pretty risky.  All this DeFi stuff is not sustainable at it's current levels, so first off you want to make sure that you are okay with that..because things could come crashing down at any time.  When it comes to bitcoin, my personal suggestion would just be to hold long term and let things ride out.  As I always state, one must make sure they've got a well rounded portfolio with traditional assets first and foremost.

Even the vaults that are deemed as safe, contain a pretty high risk factor. Despite investing mostly in stable LP pairs, I've had a near miss a couple of months ago, with one of Iron.Finance's contracts. Even though both coins were relatively stablecoins, after an exploit on Polygon, Iron lost significant value, while Steel was zeroed. Fortunately, I was in Binance Smart Chain, and it wasn't directly affected.

Currently, I'm staking through Pancakeswap, USDO - BUSD, it's thought to be a relatively safe investment, without too much risk involved, however, as I've already mentioned, the risk is always there, rug pulls, exploits etc.

binance has provided a place where you can stake your btc there, even though the APR is small but I think it's very suitable for those who want to hold their bitcoins for the long term, that's if you believe in storing your assets on an exchange.

Yes, just being patient and holding Bitcoin in the long term will give very promising returns. Judging from the current market price I prefer to hold and buy rather than sell at a loss. From holding Bitcoin we will get a very large profit if the market price recovers.

It's not the only strategy. But for me I'd rather hodl than trade because I have no idea how to do it and I feel anxious doing something I don't really know well.

Holding bitcoin is the right and safer option, because bitcoin will not collapse just like that, unlike the altcoin Defi which can collapse at any time. A healthy portfolio is a portfolio that holds coins that have good potential in the future.
Hold is a good strategy to get maximum results.
but trades must also be made to profit from any price fluctuations that occur.

You are right. You can't stake bitcoin and earn rewards. Platform that allows you to "stake" bitcoin isn't actually staking your coins. They are just using your coins to perform their operations and they give you a return. More like you are lending them your coins, and they give you back profit. It's risky. Once you give it to them, you are no longer the owner of the coins. If they lose everything, you lose everything. So holding is the only strategy to make profit in the long run. It is the safest option too because in the long run, you will be making profit. Trading is another option where you can take advantage of the volatility. But you have to be very active and the risk should also be considered.

That gonna be a case-to-case basis as I hold when the market dumps but later when it recover back, I just sell them. I think, Holding is an option, we can make a trade, staking and etc...if we wanted to earn more. It is only finding a way where you can assure that you won't lose but instead of profit.

But if we don't have skills like trading, then it has no choice but just to hold until we decide to sell. As I've said, holding alone doesn't give you much unless you bought a lot of Bitcoin or potential altcoins.

I believe you are already doing the best strategy for Bitcoin which is HODL.
True that. only if you really understand trading then that is another way for you to accumulate on Bitcoin but this is also the easiest way for you to lose your Bitcoin Hodlings too. I don't stake Bitcoin and don't think it is a wise choice but just to HODL till the price is right.

Its urgnt stratgy for thee newbis and unskilld crypto lover to HODL an inrse rypto by staking.It is btter if you'll learn about that, beyond any doubt you may see numerous ways to develop your bitcoin sum. But you have got other choices such as loaning your bitcoin to dealers within the trades and indeed in the event that the return isn't much, I think that's worth doing as long as you know how much bitcoin you need to loan to them. It can help, you are doing not got to do numerous things and as it were observe the rate or the return regularly.Also learn to know about low cap coins with great future and HODL till reach to the moon.
