How long have you been hodling a particular coin while the coin has been making progress for your profit taking and yet dropping in your eyes ?

Some people don't understand the hodling technique, they are hodling a particular coin and never sell to rebuy again or to sell and buy another coin. You can sell this coin and buy that other coin that is how to turn over your money.

I didn't tell you to sell your bitcoin and not to buy again. I only say you sell the bull and buy the bear  ;D

Of course, just holding without spending any part is a big mistake especially if the market conditions are good to sell it.

HODL is just a word of encouragement during bad moments. It's even clear that GameKyuubi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0) made this word during a bitcoin crash, where it chose to fight the urge to sell no matter how long the correction took.

Well, hodling forever is a pretty dumb move. Sooner or later you're going to have to sell that coin. A coin itself isn't always going to go up in the future, not to mention that the purpose of hodling itself is to sell it at a larger price so you can profit off of it more. It's just that some people like to do it over very long periods of time, and that they'd rather not spend it even if they've already profited at the current price, they instead wait for a bigger opportunity. Looking at the big picture so to speak. It's all about how you do the market though, you do you, nothing can stop that.

There are some tokens that I have earned from a signature campaign but have not really sold it. I wasn't aware it was distributed actually and that I also did not see the tokens in my wallet because it's sent as BEP tokens. I clearly didn't have BNB but the team release thier token to both chain ETH and BSC chain which left me hanging.

It was late to discover that I have those tokens but I have no BNB as I found out. I just kept the tokens while the price keeps dipping to -70% I did not do anything but just watch the market red which is funny. Once it goes up, I will probably sell them.

Isn't it obvious?? If I am holding a coin and never sell it off, how will I make use of the profit? That's common sense! Holding a coin for the rest of my life is not a great idea because it makes us rich on papers but not in reality. It applies to any other kind of investment where dividend is not involved. All we need to wait for the right time to sell and to re-enter the market. I thought that's common sense for any normal people.

We don't know what will happen with a coin and its price so if we do make investment, first thing to do is take profit with part of our invesment, get our initial capital back. If our invesment is in profitable mode, we can take profit and get capital back. For the rest, you can HODL and wait for luck to get rich, to become millionaire or bilionaire.

I don't think an approach to spend money for investment and hold with dream to get rich is good. In good case, you can get rich but in bad case you can get rekted and even can not get your initial capital back after all. It's very bad in my opinion in terms of investment, risk and benefit management.

It's not possible to hold a coin through out life time. It's only death  that can make a coin to be held for a life time. Coin be hold for a long time and when the price goes up it can be sold out.  I don't  see why coin should be hold for a life time because a coin is meant to be traded and sold out and not to be kept for ever.

it's always happened actually. Because a lot of holders decided to dont touch their profits until they reach their target, they don't mind about the situation as well such bearish seasons wherein mostly assets in the market were affected. Probably its because they're expecting too much?. Or they believed that holding for how many years is worth it than short term. ;D

If you say about the longevity of holding a certain coin, it really depends on the instinct of the buyer. The cryptocurrency market is so unpredictable, so there are no promises or guarantees that a certain or particular coin will moon later on. We cannot easily predict the future of it as 99.99% of the predictions won’t happen.

I’ve been holding some certain coins for more than a year and counting, but some are just short and mid-term in which I didn’t hold them for long. Our own guts and instinct tells us if we hold for long or sell it now.

When they do not sell their coin at a certain high price, they will not profit instead of just holding without a target when they should sell. If they can sell at the bull, which means a high price, that will be their benefit because they can buy back again when the bear market comes.

I think some people have a high expectation for some coins so if the price is not hit their target price, they will not sell it, although that means they need to hold 10 years without knowing when the price can increase or it will be delisted from the exchanges.

But if that is about bitcoin, I think it is worth holding for a long time. Let's say we want to hold for 10 years later or sell when the price hits $1,000,000. That will be an unknown time but that is still worth it.

I've been holding bitcoin for many years and I did bought a lot and sold a lot. But I've this part of my holdings that I'm not touching anymore. I've just learned to my past experience that it's better to hold and not touch it and just wait for a few years if I'm going to sell it.

I did these situations, buying at the peak, selling at the peak, buying at the bottom and selling at the bottom. Well, it resorts for me that I'd better just hold it.

That what works for me.

I will hold until I can still able to manage it. Perhaps, selling during the bullish season is somewhat a good idea but sometimes, it never happens to me, and just sold them earlier. I may say I'm not a long-term holder, I would take the opportunity to sell my coins at a very reasonable price and take the profit. It probably people will say that I was wrong but somehow, I was contented with the small profit, at least I secured my funds/capital for the next investment.

Fun fact: you don't really need to have the literal same strategy for every single coin. Some are great long-term holds, while some are crap for long-term and are mostly only short-mid term trades.

Also, "I only say you sell the bull and buy the bear"? Lmao. Yea, timing bull/bear markets surely have worked well for most people.

Holding and trading are very different concepts. You can be a holder or you can be a trader. You are simply telling holders to become traders. If you sell what you hold and make trades, then you are not a holder anymore.

I don't deny it, you can indeed make money from trading. The problem is, people who hold their coins don't know how to trade. They don't know how to read charts, they don't know any TA.

For them, trading is a suicide.

When bitcoin was testing $50k to $55k levels for the very first time by last March/April month, many people opted to sell and missed the rally up to $64k but might have got chances to buy back around $30k levels but that is not a big deal.

The real concern is, people who booked profits around $50k with the anticipation of bearish market but market moved slowly toward $60k and then decided to buy back for not missing out the rally which was expected to last until $100k but failed to break $70k people who had bough back around $60k levels might have missed the rally between $50k to $60k which is the problem; we can eliminate such thing when we opt to hold for life. I am just talking about only bitcoin and even you target to hold for life long, you may book profits at any time you prefer for life's most important requirements.

There is no set time but if the coin is progressing and I get a large enough profit then I will sell it, no one will hold it when there is a chance I will take it.

Maybe some always misinterpret the difference in hodling but everyone is different with the technique they understand and I only know the technique of holding is holding on longer and waiting to be profitable.

Sometimes it's hard to say buy when the market is bear because too much speculation, after that will regret after being bullish.

If you are not good in technical analysis then you will get trapped. Selling around ATH may sound like an easier one but practically I will not risk because I am making enough money with a long term holding. Even if I decide to follow your suggestions then I may go for only 10% of bitcoin holding and definitely not for all of my bitcoins.

That must be a good practice. Everyone must be having some personal goal even they are declaring themselves as a lifetime holder, but if you target only for short term target and if you exit then you may need to remain regretting about your small target because bitcoin is continuously appreciating which may remain same for next 100 years as well.

Yes, it is true that we must sell when the market is bull and buy when the market is bear. But what will happen if the bull run keeps on after our selling. We may miss high profit in this case. But if we didn't sell in bull and bear comes  ;D.

It seems you are trying to confuse between holding and passive way of trading. Not all the people are ready to risk with their long term holding assets. So far we had only two times of 4 year cycle which must be not enough proof to sell the bull with the plans of buying back.

Your method may help one to maximize their number of bitcoins but for the people who target only USD value in long run may not bother this due to the risks involved. You cannot say it would be a safer method compared to long term holding.

Any coin that I enter with my money, I always have an exit for them regardless of when i hold it or how long it will take me to sell them.
You cant hold a coin for a complete four year cycle  with profits and refuse to sell and when uncertainty comes in, the whole profit will just wash off, thanks to crypto for it imminent volatility. There is nothing actually wrong in selling off and taking profit, wait for the market to relax and buy back again because no matter how the market is shill and manipulated, it will always have an ending point where everyone will be selling and you don't want to get caught in that, no matter the profit you made, profit is profit.

Bitcoin is definitely good for long time hodling since it will always increase its value every year. But if you will only hold it forever, then no matter how valuable it is, it will be useless. Make sure to set a goal price when to sell and utilize the profits wisely, and buy back too when you think the price is already at its dip. Buying and selling coins will always be the basics to help you make profits.

Holding on to some coins for a long time I have faced a huge loss which I will never be able to recover. However, the wise thing to do is not to store certain coins for long periods of time. If the market is up, it should be sold wisely.

Holding without any plan is really a bad thing since we cannot hold forever and we should always have the target price so we can at least enjoy some profit. If you do have that target price it will allows you to have profit and a good backup plan to buy more of the price becomes cheaper, I’d rather sell to take profit and then buy again later on even if its Bitcoin.

You are right. Selling our Bitcoin or altcoins during bullrun is probably the right way to earn more money, then we can buy more Bitcoin with that money in the next bearish. I also did this way and it works for me. I never try to hold my BTC/altcoins forever, I prefer to sell once it achieves my target and rebuys when I know it is good momentum. Well, this can suit me probably because I am not a typical long-term investor who can hold more than 5 years. While for those long traders who target to hold 5-10 years or more, they may not care of taking advantage from bullrun and bearish.

A must thing but people do end up on holding despite of those good or perfect conditions on selling out which it is more preferrable rather than on waiting

for too long on just having small profits because you cant make out 2x in bitcoins price which is only possible for altcoins specially low caps.If you are really

trying to look for profits in short term duration then selling it on basing with the trend is much better but somehow it isnt something that easy to be done
than say but its not impossible.

But trading in short term is quite risky than long term holding. But hodling a certain coin for a very long time is not good anymore as you are not thinking to make profits anymore but more on afraid to make a loss. And this is definitely a very bad mindset. You are here to make profits so never miss chances to sell your coins and earn profits and also, always think of good opportunities to buy again when the price is right.

What many people do not understand is that if you want to hold an asset of any kind then that asset needs to be solid and have great fundamentals, if this is not the case then it is not worth holding such an asset, this is why in this market the only coin worth holding for the long term is bitcoin, you can trade altcoins if you want as good profits can be obtained with them but holding them is not a good idea, now there are a few exceptions like ethereum, but that is all what they are, and as such you must avoid holding altcoins for any significant amount of time or you will eventually get burned.

Perhaps, that was their choice, and that is your choice as well, and we can do everything that we want. I have no diamond hand to hold long, that is what I see on myself but have never been in panic selling and week hand to sell once seeing the market is down.

If we hold 10 years, 20 years, that is probably for some reason and I think we can do it if we are committed to doing it. But I have the reason also for not doing it long as I just took for the opportunity to make a profit in every bullish to come. Coz I think that holding long doesn't give me security and might possible to miss many opportunities.

Missing out lots of opportunities is something the main reason on why i dont really tend to hold for too long and to mind that nothing is assured when it comes to future talks
or the future itself of a particular coins you've been holding on which you wouldnt know if that peak or pump price would be its last and the next one would take out for
another years in counting which do really sucks if you do really wait up for that long period of time which do have a profit which is lesser compared when you do make
short trades but somehow dealing with volatility in short term is more risky rather or compared with holding.

You s, to sell and rebuy or even to buy another coin gives some trading experience, at least one can learn more about market speculation in the process of selling and buying coins. Is not advisable to keep holding one particular coin for life time, at least sell the coin, take your profit and buy again or buy another coin.

I’m pretty sure hodling is an art of big investor because not everyone is blessed with the power of smooth hodling. Yes what you have advised is also golden rule for those who don’t wanna risk the money. I mean buy low and sell high. However, hodling always give you higher returns because you surely buy low but sell at highest possible rate in the future so that gives you biggest returns in the process. But as I opened up my conversation with one important point here and that’s the art of hodling, it takes patience, proper coin selection, and clear mind when to sell. Those who understood the method will always win the market.

True. You don't have to keep on holding forever. If you feel like selling and taking the profit, then sell. If you have decided to hold for a year, then hold for a year and then sell. If you invested in a coin that you are seeing isn't doing well, or probably is a shitcoin, then just sell it and invest in a better coin. If you see another coin that has better potential to go up, then sell the current coin you are holding and buy the one that you think will outperform the one you were holding. Don't miss opportunities when you find one. Just don't sell good coins for some shitcoins that you think "might" go x100 overnight.

hodler have patience and most of the time this is the key for the success also in real life.

the best ratio is own some coin but spend a portion for daily expense. holding forever is something crazy like have all money of the world but you can use.

 buying yatch / waste money is too easy and is not a key for the success.  8)
probably if you're rich enough you can waste your money, but who knows the future?   ;D

I think this is the profitable way to do the business for profit rather than getting confuse we should have a plan for selling. If you keep waiting for a particular ATH, it may not reach there before it starts dropping so having a profit level and exiting as soon it gets there is wise enough. This is like setting a take profit and whether you are there or not, it will take profit for you when the price gets to that level.

Not everyone is having the same expectations, some satisfied with decent money while some wants to become a millionaire from their 1000 dollars investment that is why they have been holding this all years even though the price is dropping which isn't really bad for Bitcoin but most of the time we won't make anything with shitcoins.

I sold my btc holdings at the start of this bull run half at 30k while remaining at 35k. After I sell off bitcoin touched 60k but I am satisfied that I have got decent profit on my holdings. I have friends who have bought bitcoin before this dip and waiting for 100k. Its your own choice what profit you want, some are satisfied with 30 to 50% while others want bigger piece of cake.

That's right that's why we must have a plan before deciding to hold,
selling and buying gradually is also important and again everyone has their own strategy

At least, you already make a big profit. I am sure you can buy back for more in the other time. If you already bought bitcoin a few weeks ago, you are really making a lot of money right now because bitcoin has already increased to $50,000.

If you are just holding bitcoin without knowing when you should sell, you will not make any profit and you only become a watcher while the others are trying to race to buy low and sell high and trying to make a profit.

The problem with this is what is bullish and what is bearish? The current price level of Bitcoin, what do you call it bearish or bullish? It's Bearish as far as I feel, but there is still a very big chance that markets will continue falling from here, So even if you enter, you can still lose your capital from here and regret that you could have waited for a better entry point, these are the reasons why holding a coin not for life but for a big chunk of time makes sense, you have no regrets because you made no actions, with selling and rebuying you are just inching closer everyday towards trading.

Imagine you have been holding bitcoin for 10 more years with high expectations surely you won't regret it so it depends on everyone situations and expectations but keeping it low and realistic will give consistent returns while holding long may suprise you with hige return or upset you with no returns but before making investment be ready to lose the capital.

So far bitcoin has proved that in real time. The longer we are holding bitcoins, the higher the return we could enjoy. From all these, I am really hesitating to agree with OP because there will be no point of not holding bitcoin for rest of our life.

There should be some exception for every conceptual thing and this way bitcoin investment must be one of the the exceptional investment opportunity which could be worth to be holding for entire life. I guess there could be bitcoin like few altcoins also might be available hence we cannot have any general opinion on holding period of any cryptocurrency.

Isn't that the opposite off a HODL strategy when we try and actively time the bear and bull markets? When it comes to bitcoins I am a huge fan of HODL but when it comes to alt coins I prefer a more active approach. Don't get me wrong, taking profits is important in any trading strategy, it is just that the long term profit from a HODL strategy is beating a lot of the active strategies. Buying before the rally and selling before the drop sounds very cool, but how do we actually know when the trends are switching? Finding the right points to buy and sell is very hard and requires a lot of time and research, following the HODL approach is just so much easier.

This is the problem with most people, they do not want to see that much further ahead in crypto. Most people who buy a stock of a company they trust, end up holding it for decades, and that's how they build up their wealth, hell some people (rich enough I suppose) could literally take out a loan against their stock holdings, like a collateral.

So, I would suppose that there is a good chance we could see people holding crypto for decades one day, but right now people want to make a quick buck. If people keep focusing on what they could profit this month, or this year, then they are going to not really make that much profit. I made an investment during 2020 saying that I will hold at least until 2030, if I am financially doing fine then I will hold even longer, hopefully until I retire and old. That is how you build wealth, not by finding gems that make you rich by luck.

Actually depending on self preference because not all would really be on the same mindset on which you do really get contented on what you do have now as profits on your current portfolio but once you do see it
to be considerable then you would definitely sell on that price level. Let those people do make their own decisions in life since its their money after all and neither they would be holding for years
or would be having that fix time for them to harvest out on what they have been holding for too long but for me it would nice if you do able to see profits in short term basis.

Well, if we compare making profits in short term basis consistently versus long term profits, i think they are with the same value. So yes, i also believe that its way better to often make profits in every opportunities we see than to hodl a particular coin without no goal price to sell and it may take forever. But still, we have our own preference and mindset, make sure the end result will still be profitable.

Hodling could neither have possible reasons which is for long term profits or totally aiming or having that kind of support on a particular project that you've been holding with and not all people would

really be having the same purpose that they do have in mind so its a personal choice just like on what others been saying but we do share up on the same aim which is to make profits.
It only differs with the duration though and each one of us doesnt have same level of patience and perseverance on things that we do have in our mind.

Dont hold for long and sell if you do see if its the right time and determining those exact time couldnt really be precise as always but you could make out close calls.

This is very easy to say but difficult to achieve, like how you will know it's bull and if it's bear? There are a lot of things that need to consider.
Another thing is, taking profits is always not a bad move, I like what you said above about using your profits to buy some potential altcoins. But you should not get carried away or overconfident, because maybe you did buy at the wrong time.
Sometimes also you don't need to diversify your funds because if you just selected 1 coin and sized in, you are good.

When you bought bitcoin at the very lowest price 10 more years ago or when bitcoin was released on the market and hold it and forget it, you will be amazed and feel surprised to see what was happening to bitcoin now. You will suddenly become the richest person in your town and maybe you are one of the richest people in the world and never imagine that. Maybe you will sell for some bitcoins and hold the rest amount and at that time, you will believe what bitcoin can give to you in the future and hold your bitcoin for more years.

Yes you are Right in your saying. Market give us many opportunities to sell in high and again buy in low bjt sometimes coin start pumping continuously and does not give chance to re buy again. We should sell 70% when its give us big profit and then wait for dump to bUy again 

As practice has already shown, the one who at the very beginning bought BTC and would sell it now, would not receive a really big profit. From this side, it is profitable to hold cryptocurrencies for maximum profit, but this takes a lot of time, and you want to get profit right now. To do this, some people start trading cryptocurrency, which allows you to simultaneously be a holder of cryptocurrencies and make a profit. From this point of view, it is really better to be a trader. Although there is a third option, for example, to hold some of the cryptocurrencies, and to trade the other part.

Easy to say but would really be hard to be done because market is truly unpredictable but doesn't mean that you cant do it and this is where experience and skills will differ on each person.

Hold if you are unsure on what you would gonna do but if you do love to play with fire or does love on risk taking then its up to yours whether you do make out active trades.
With just using up our common sense then we would really find out for ourselves on which action would really be worth for us to take.Lots of trial and
error indeed.

It's hard for us to guess but if we're aware of the capability of the coin that we've bought, we can have that assumption that it's either good for long term or short term.
That's why our involvement with our investment is actually the key for it to know if you know what you're buying. Without having the thought of it is going to make you broke if you just buy according to the suggestion of people and you're not involving your own time for the research and anything in particular to that coin that you're interested.

Most people don't see investments as something to increase money and they spend, on the contrary there are people who started to look at investments as something that serves to show off something like: I made 1000X profit and I'm still doing hodl, man this is insane , the person already has 1000X profit, why would he need to hodl something that already has 1000X profit? I dont understand

We can't generalize people's approaches toward holding a coin because not all have the same strategy.

If they did it "that" way, then so be it as it's effective for them. The same goes for other strategies.

In other words, we should just mind our own business and just focus on determining the right time to buy or sell. Not all are having the same view about "hodling".

It is very important to totally know the project we invested and it is always the key to success.

I buy and hold Bitcoin and ETH not just because I know how promising they are, it was also because I've trusted these projects. Similarly, this will also be the reason why they are on the top and it remains on the lead as the people know its capability over the hundreds and thousands of coins exits.

But, this never means that we ought to hold for the rest of our life or die with them. No, it was not the purpose but have to make use of it either to sell or trade.

True, but most people believe they need to hodl forever, even when they already have 1000X profits they don't take it to spend, you can see that in this same section, there are guys showing off who have been hodling some altcoin for 5 years and They even say "I don't plan on selling altcoin yet" I wonder when it will sell? he's been doing hodl for 5 years and doesn't enjoy his own investment, so what's the purpose of having made the investment if he's not going to spend it? it's just hard to understand

You have to understand since we all have different goals and target in life, not all will be able to take profit on that kind of level and many are still want to become a passive investors who will just sell their holdings once its due time. Its ok to hold, even if you miss a lot of opportunity to sell at a bigger price as long as you know what you are doing, I believe hodlers have their goals in mind and they needed to focus on that.

Trust is also one. I've trusted bitcoin and ethereum and like anybody else, it's really like the safest assets that we can invest in the market. But due to the many coins listed in many exchanges. This gives us the variety where we can invest too but it's necessary to take action and make your own assessment before going with any of them. Because if you're trying to learn from the mistake of others, it's a very vital part that you need to think of seriously.

Maybe those people want to make another 2000X profit so they still hold the coins and not sell. That is greedy and I think they will regret it when they see the price go down fast without noticing. If I were them, I would sell for 50% of the total amount and wait for another down or sell at once if I do not see if the project can grow quickly. As an investor, you need to know about the time to hold the coins but do not still hold if you see the price can increase in a short time. Just sell for some amount and enjoy your profit.

For the bitcoin traders, recycling the money is a big part of being active in the market. Some users might have once and hit and run type trade, where they sell all at once and bail out never to look back again but I think they will eventually come back just like addicted gamblers.

But you can make a general statement that the top five from the ones with highest market cap are going to do better for the next few years unless some other coin overtakes them.

It does not mean that some random shitcoin sleeping in your wallet might suddenly go 400% - dont have those wet dreams.

Repeating the cycles as the movements start should be practiced by every trader. When you have money at hand, place orders on both sides of the market - buy at the lower and sell at the higher and then see which one gets closed.

Even I do plan to make use of year long bearish market of bitcoin, I am not comfortable to sell my bitcoin; honestly I am little afraid to take any such hard decision by deviating my initial plans of bitcoin investments. Moreover, if I would have sold 1 bitcoin by the times of late December 2017 when bitcoin was trading above $15k levels then I would have got chances to multiply my one bitcoin into at least 3 bitcoins by buying back by 2018 December when bitcoin was trading below $5k price levels.

When we are not sure about what is going to happen next and where will be bottom to be met, I guess all long term holders must be hesitating to disturb their plans of long term holding.

One of the reasons why there are investors who decide to hold coins even though the price is already very high, it is usually because of
the greed of these investors who want very high profits. Even though this is sometimes detrimental to these investors, because they will
miss the opportunity to generate profits. However, the movement of the crypto market is very difficult to predict, so if the price of coins
has gone up, it could just dump immediately and take a very long time to recover. So in my opinion, never forget to take profit if there is
a chance, rather than regret later for missing an opportunity to make a profit. We really don't need to sell all the coins we have if the price of
coins goes up high, so we can sell only part of it, so even if the price goes up again after taking profit, we can still make a profit.

It depends on what coin they are hodling.

There are some coins that are good be to hodl in long term and there are coins that are not. I've hold my ATL token since 2017 and decided to sell it way back 2020 because I already accepted that their project was already a trash. Yes, that's a very wrong move to hold something like that, but since I didn't use any money on that, I still made money out of it.

Exactly, if the coin is a good one then you might want to continue hodling especially if it's bitcoin. Just check the long-term plans for that crypto and you would have the ability to decide what you're going to do next.

It all depends on the coin in question if it's altcoins then at every profit interval selling and buying more is when the price falls is the best strategy but if it's Bitcoin most times the best option is to hold and forget about it for a longer period ignoring what ever the market does except there is enough discipline to hold your fiat if you made profit and sold at some point but the market still remains bullish

Obviously different coins must need different approaches and this way holding shitcoins for lifelong may not make any sense; at the same time planning for holding bitcoin for life time definitely will get better benefit compared to any other method of holding of bitcoin that we could plan up.

I have seen many people are suggesting about invest in bitcoin and forget about it but not sure how much practically it is possible. It might be possible only when you are having a regular income stream and having throw-out funds for bitcoin investments.

Well majority buy shitcoins with intentions that they are cheap and will give good return that will make him rich. In case of bitcoin you dont need to hodl for lifetime just buy it at dip and within a year you will get good return. See BITCOIN dip week ago when it went down to 45k and today its at 51k all this happen in bracket of a week.

I think yes that should be a cycle in trading it might be either a short term or a long term trade. Just set up a profit to a percentage and when its seen that is being crossed, then yes its advised to sell them off and buy back another best coin which is at low price. Yes do not just stick with just one best coins. Choose 5 best coins just shift from one coin to other coins according to the market. This is the healthy trade I would say.

Well my instinct would tell me that hodling a coin for long and beyond necessary time could be that it has become an abandon project. In such case doing a research to know if the team still has plans for it is needful before a decision but there are coins that are daily volatile and active. Although some projects that are less active can be woken up one day but it all depends and luck.

If we want to be profitable, then always grab good opportunities to sell so we can make profits. As no one gets to make profits if we only intend to hold the coins for so long. What OP means is simply, sell at the bulls and buy back again in time of bears as most of the potentials coins are cheaper in value. And to maximize profits, always diversify our portfolio with promising coins so we can sell them at a high value and make huge profits. And eventually fill in the portfolio again with trusted coins but always keep a bigger number of bitcoin as its always the most profitable crypto for now.

Holding a certain altcoin must have a target price that must be achieved, if the altcoin to be held has a good future, it will take much longer.
But for Bitcoin, holding it for the rest of your life will not be a problem, but the target price is still important to be used as the main benchmark. Sell ​​at ATH and buy at crash price, that's what to do. profits to increase.

It depends on the people because some of them want to hold their coins and use them in different ways like giving them to their child, reinvesting and waiting for the right time it's not all the time that the season is coming for the crypto there's a time you will sell your asset for different reasons like financial needs. Also good for buying when the market is dip but again not all the dip is the support already sometimes it has another dip might causes to losses your assets.

Don't be too confident about holding btc for the rest of your life. We can't be certain about its future also. It may live longer than most alts but don't forget that technology is getting advanced everyday. But for the moment, one can take advantage of the opportunity that this crypto market is offering. As long as you are doing your job of studying the alts that you are getting involved with and keeping track their progress, you will lessen your chance of losing. And if you feel that the project is about to exit this market, sell off even at a small loss, because if you will wait much longer, you may not even get any amount from it because it will soon be worthless coins.

Easy to say but would really be hard to be done because identifying bottoms and tops would always be a challenge for us investors or traders here on this market.
Also when it comes to profits then nothing beats out into those people who had been doing active trades which is very common action to take for those who are skilled enough and this one
isnt for everybody thats why majority do end up on holding for too long and it is somewhat mixed with luck when you do hold a particular coin because determining
potential is really hard.

At one point we need to cash out the profits which is by selling them so holding for entire life is not a concept i have heard before.Like the time period of holding could vary from people to people as 5-6 years or decade or more than that according to our needs but nobody is holding for our full life.We also needs to enjoy the profits at some stage of our life and by selling the funds we can do the same.

If we only intend to hold the coins for a very long time, we might be a millionaire in the long run, if you are holding bitcoin or ethereum. But if we are in the wrong coins, then holding for long will only bring a huge loss.

However, the reason why we are here is mainly to double or triple our capital and we can't do it if we never sell our coins. It will be very useless i guess. Hodling coins will only be very useful and profitable if we have a target price to sell and once we achieve it, we should always push through it. That should always be our goal.

This happens on numerous occasions, and some coins have turned out to be shitcoins in the process but am okay with it because we win some and we lose some.


But holding comes in a variety of ways, some hold and take profits out when they feel its time and others have the strategy of buy and sell which is more profitable if you ask me.

Best strategy ever, if applied correctly!

This is what bothers me sometimes especially to those who had the misconception of the the word "hodling". They thought that "hodling" was all about just keeping the coin til their last breath.
I gotta be honest that it was my first thought into it, but it just doesn't make that sense to keep holding if your primary goal was to earn , right?
I sold some of my ETH to buy BTC when it was a bear market last year, but then I still started taking profits from it weekly. I know I am a long-term investor, but sometimes you need the money and those greens not because one celebrity in Twitter tells you to.

The right step when you have to sell the altcoins you hold at a high enough price. because some altcoins do not have a clear future and are eventually abandoned. Unlike the altcoins that are at the top of the CMC. It is very important to do research before deciding to hold a coin long term, because it will determine the profits and losses. Don't let altcoins that are held long-term end in losses and cannot be sold.

Always set goals because this is on where you do really base up on your actions whether you do sell or would tend to hold further and this is very situational or does depend with someones mindset or goal in mind.
We do know that not all coins would be pumping out on a specific time because everything is really random and when price spikes do happen then its not really avoidable that you would really be having that
boggle in mind whether you do release and sell or would hold up even more for more profits but actually having this kind of act does signify of being greedy.
Its not bad on being optimistic but once profits is there then you do only need to realized it.

At the end of the day holding your assets for a long time expecting for the market to grow is not a new strategy at all, people have been doing this for a long time, however as you say holding is a means to an end and it should not be thought as an end on itself, holding forever and doing nothing with your bitcoin is simply not correct, holding your bitcoin and then selling some when you need it once the price has gone up in a significant fashion is OK and no one should regret it, even if the price ends up going higher after you sell.

Not a new strategy but rather the most common strategy that we do have today on where people do hold particular assets but to think off that it would be only just good for those significant and worthy coins that we do

have on this market and you cant just pick randomly or without any basis thats why you should really be wise on picking which one should gonna be hold and which one should be traded actively.
It all matters on how you do deal up with things.

it might not be simple but it could really be done imho.

As investor you need to hodl your for any length you want to hodl your coin but the problem is that no coin can last for the hand of good investor for two years and mostly the altcoins because altcoins have the chances of giving off in between the time of hodling and when it falls before it rose may be another two years, the coins i know that can be hodl for long time and when year is running it still have values is Bitcoin and ethereum, you can hodl them for long time and when ever you want to sell you also sell it and make profit

LOL, people who do such thing, I don’t know what’s actually their plan in this life. Maybe they don’t want to sell because they feel that the market will go up when they sell and they will miss their only chance of becoming millionaires?

Well, everyone and their own ways, it can also be that they have plans to invest in and hold the coin for a long term, there are people who might plan to hold their coin for like five years or so, because the money they are investing is a money that they won’t really be needing, so instead of keeping it in the bank, they might decide to just invest it and keep holding. It’s never bad though.

Before making a decision to hold in the long term of course we have to determine a good coin for it,
as you said Bitcoin and Ethereum are suitable for that but I think there are other coins,
it depends on any research we do ourselves and in holding on to it for the long term patience is the key

Bitcoin is the most suitable to hold for long-term investment and you can add Ethereum on that plus BNB of course since I found it making some progress when bitcoin is in the bull run. Other than that is not good to hold for long-term but there are some altcoins that I like to invest and planning to hold for short-term only since they aren't that volatile unlike bitcoin and the other. Therefore, know or do your own research if what coins do you really want to invest for long-term except for bitcoin since it's recommendable to hold for long-term.

That is entirely depends on how you trust the coin your are holding, for example, if you hold BNB and ETH when they are still below $1, you'll be very rich by now, but of course,  as investors sees the coin rises its value, it's also tempting to sell and take profit, so most of us do sold and enjoy the profit, but like I'm saying it's always possible to hold it longer.

Personally, I am holding coins for a period of time that I have set beforehand, or based on my intentions and necessities. For instance, I hold some altcoins for short-term only, and bitcoin for long-term, these could take months or even years depending on the coin’s potential, my capital and my goal for making that investment. As per those people mentioned by OP, those do not get the holding technique, I think that is yet to come to there awareness then. Maybe, after some time, they will also get its core concept and begin to really grasp how such technique is beneficial to accumulate profit.

All matters with research and its up to yours whether which coin would be intended for holding in long term and which one would be good for short term basis and it all matters to you as an investor.
Holding isnt something simple as it sounds as this one requires extreme patience and controlling yourself on making out action whether you do sell early or sell on loss or something like that.
Its up to someones preference whether they do hold or actively trading basing up on their own discretion so its a choice and stick on what makes you comfortable with.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are safe choices for long-term investments, because we know these 2 coins are the top coins that have good potential in the future. But other than that, the top 10 coins list can be taken into consideration too. You don't need to hold it all your life, if it's profitable you can release it, it's very simple.

It is our own way to hold for several term period or even for shot term or for trading. Investment is about also the way our readiness. It is also about the way we must utilize every chance: to buy, sell, and take profits  it will depend on what kind of our own fund and risk management in this case. So I personally will prefer to do my profit taking when I think it is enough, not for a long term hodl always.

Well, that is your opinion were I don't see any wrong with it, but for me as long as I see there is already profit that I get that's a big thing for me. You can hold it but don't do it for a long time of waiting, but it is still depend on your belief in the coins you choose of course. But holding it in shot period of time is much safer I think in my own assessment.

Yeah, when we have belief about upcoming rising then holding more may not be a wrong one. People do prefer to hold as much as time that they are able to make sure that they will be covering the maximum chances that market might give them to profit; I guess they are doing already right hence NOT hold for life may not be applicable for bitcoin holding.

But, you should not go booking profits based on your personal feel. If you are a long term holder and then you may book profits to buy a house for your family but not for the reason of you gained 20% profits.

Well it depend upon the project i only hold the project if i see good roadmap and some unique idea behind the project but it is really tempting as well to see the growing price of the token that you hold remeber when btc is at 50$ at that time many investor are selling and now it is price is humongous if they hold they will have good amount so if you find good project and you have patience then no one can stop you but big factor also depend upon which project you still choose

Of course you shouldn't hold the coin in all your life that's why you hold it is to have a profit and don't be too greedy to hold it for a long time since I really can tell that it is not worth it and you probably miss your chance to take profit for that particular coin. But holding is not that bad as long as the price keeps going upwards but still you should make sure to take profit from time to time.

When you are investing into something which doesn't make you pressured or worried that much even if it do losses its value then better hold it for long term but if you do really mind about
selling actively or in profits even how small it is then its up on someones choice.

We do have our own principles and preference with our investments whether we do like to held it up or we do like to actively trade with it depending on your financial
capacity and wants.

Patience is needed when you do hold but this isn't something that you should  really tolerate when you do see opportunities to take profit.

You hold it as long as the price is rising and you can afford to wait... even if the price reached some top you hold it as something valuable and you don't spend it unless you need it! Holding/saving is something we can do when we have extra cash... just look at the rich people, they hold "old valuable coins collections", we can say many different valuable collections, paints... it's a long list of valuable things that people are holding and enjoying having! And when you don't enjoy in having it or you need some extra money for something you sell it!

Well, HOLD is not wrong, only if you hold the wrong coins that absolutely wrong of course. Now the question is, how are we going to find if the coins is wrong or not? this is the big problem actually where a lot of the community here made a mistakes for this matter in several times for a couple of years I've seen it here to some of the members in the crypto space.

Holding we can do either in the long term or short term depending on what coins we have,
holding is also not something that is easy to do requires patience,
for the top altcoins I think it's better to hold in the long term because they have strong fundamentals

Yes you are right. I have split my portfolio. 50% for trading amd 30% for long term hold and 20% reserved if matket crash so i can buy my favorite coins in low price. I exoecting 5x from long term coins.once it hit, i will sell and no care if it again 2x from here because i already booked profit from here

Everyone knows what works best for them, I suggest that they may be waiting for their coin to increase more before they will sell it. The fact that we have seen Bitcoin increase a lot more over the years, has made a lot of people think that if they continue to hold their coins for a long time that it is going to increase more in value, and would be worth more than what they bought it at first. Some of them even do this when they are investing in altcoins, but that’s the last thing I ever do, when I invest in a project and it is doing pretty fine and making me enough profit, I am going to sell part of it and maybe leave the rest.

Making profit from time to time means that you have to cycle to money into sell-buy-sell cycles otherwise the total capital on your networth remains constant.

Being stubborn about selling is a wrong approach. You need to be flexible about your approach to making profit. When the market price is dropping, get fiat ready and use it to buy the coin and similarly when it crosses your target price, sell some, you will be looking forward to buy back on the next bear cycle.

If you remain stubborn and dont sell - you miss two opportunities
1. The possibility of selling at a high
2. The possibility of buying at the next low.

This stagnancy in your personal ledger is one of the reasons of anxiety and depression among traders. Try to avoid that from happening.

many people misunderstand about holding, where many think they will not sell coins, I think as a good investor, the highest profit is sought, so we must be able to hold on until the target is reached, and wait for purchases when it has entered the area. therefore for me holding is target-oriented, and it can happen sooner or later

Maybe some of them are holding their coins because they are not in need of money. Although I do have the same thoughts a lot of times on why a lot of people would be holding their coins and not even selling at all.

I even see people who said that they have plans to hold their coins for a lifetime, and some say that they are waiting for Bitcoin to reach one million dollars before they would sell. That’s not how it works for me, I always have my own targets whenever I am investing in cryptocurrency,and when the market pumps, I am going to sell and take my profit and wait for another good time to start investing in the market again.

Lol, whenever I am in a situation like this I don’t fail to take the profit, seriously. The cryptocurrency market is very unpredictable. I once invested in a particular and it started increasing in value while I was holding it, the profit was huge, but I felt that if I should sell the market might still increase, so I decided to leave it that night. And when I woke up the next day I saw that the profit have reduced so much and I started regretting why I never sold immediately that night.

So, I also decided to wait a bit more to see if it will still recover again, so I can get back the profit I lost, but instead the market kept dropping, so I had to sell with a little profit which would have been better if I sold at the right time.

Secure profits as much as you could because you wouldnt know if how long you would be needing to wait again before seeing those prices again which would really leave you out hanging or simply regretting on not making some actions on the time you are seeing those gains.

I have learnt enough on be aware into those conditions which you should mind on securing anytime you do see some profits. Rinse and repeat until you do accumulate considerable profits.

Even though its not bad to make some hold position if you arent sure on what you should gonna do but we should know on when to get out.

The crypto market's that ups and downs are unpredictable and holding is a good thing. It's true that we don't have to hold it for all our life because there will be a moment where the price goes up and we can't miss that moment. In holding we must be able to determine when is the right time to sell or buy, therefore we are required to see and understand the market so that we know how the market conditions are. So all the assets that we have been in our own control. The profit or loss all depends on how we manage the assets that we have.

A right time to sell a right asset must be our life's important money requiring moment. It means you may sell bitcoin for buying a house for you but you should not sell bitcoin just for the reason of it has reached $50k or $60k price levels. Unfortunately only very few people do understand this fact. Moreover, this is applicable only for the high potential- ever increasing assets like bitcoin, gold or amazon stock.

I guess that must be a misconception. There would be no compulsion that you need to liquidate all your investments within your life. You can inherit to your decedents.

Sometimes when you hold a lot of coins in your portofolio you might forgot to see the future of certain coins as you hold it for too long , just like me who holding nxt since early 2019 when the price fall from $1.8 down to 0.01 but look at now.. it's remain at around 0.01 , 0.02 at tops , what should we do on this kind conditions?

you could still hold it on though as long as you can treat these funds as a free money and not in a loss. or simply cut it to mpve onto another promising coins as nxt in this case seems a bit outdated.

Investment does not mean holding. That to agree that people think about holding give them a profit in the future but it never makes if they don't sell them at a higher price. because the truth is that we can never make a profit whole holding that unless if you are staking. But if you just keep it by yourself, in your pocket, it is impossible for you to make a profit unless, if you decide to sell them.
What I know about holding is to save us from losing during the bear season, that is only it can do.

Well at some point we can't dictate holders of how long will they be going to hold their coin, I know everyone has their own plan on their assets and if I am going to ask I think there's nothing wrong with holding your token in a long term, I mean I will take bitcoin as an example, and this token is in your portfolio already for a long term because you in yourself have already established this what we called trust to the token and you certainly believe that in the future this token will be more valuable than it was today then it's a person's choice already. I also believe that the holders do understand the risks, the chances pass whenever the price let's say pump but he didn't sell it, as long as he didn't need to sell it then I think it is just fine.

Some coins are to be hold for few time for you to be able to make it in life. Since many coins are about to drop more in the exchange market, it will be better for such coins to be release to market for profit making before the price will decrease more in the market. Despite the decrease of some coins last year 2021, many customers still make their Profit early this year when the price increase higher to surprised their customers that exercise patient with their investment. Don't hold your coins more than 4 years no matter the condition of the market because profit is unpredictable.

Indeed, I had one moment when I held LTC in the hope that it would show excellent growth, but unfortunately, I did not wait for the growth of the LTC price, and I had to sell LTC to get my funds back. You are probably right when you say that there is a better solution than just keeping one coin, but unfortunately I believed in growth, but it never took place. Next time, I will still use your recommendation and try to sell a non-liquid asset in favor of a more liquid one, or just try to sell on a rise and buy on a fall, in order to eventually return my investment and also make a profit.

The truth is not to take away your emotion for any project, but I have learned that marrying a project is not the best option, because at some point projects will fall and there will be no way to recover, unless it is well founded, I will. I would really suggest that if you want to invest, go big and buy BTC, fraction of BTC because that is the safest investment in the world. Now I recommend it to you because since 2017 I have learned a lot about the projects and if they are not listed in a level 1A Excahnge it is very difficult for it to prosper, in the first pump I recommend that you sell, to ensure your profit, of course it is only my advice.

I personally like to hold as long as possible, hold 10+ years if I could, why would that be a problem? I understand that coins like SOL and Matic look like they are not things you should hold for 10+ years, but things like BTC, ETH, BNB, LTC are all looking like you could hold them for 10+ years and they will be fine.

This is why I am quite happy with what I have, it is basically just a method of making money for me in the long run and so far it has been working very well too. If you are not entirely sure about it, then you could end up with a better understanding by just watching the past, and if you think past will not be like future than imagine you bought it and wait for another full year and you will see it.

Be contented on what you do have and what matter most here is that you wont really be putting yourself on a stress condition out of those investments.All things you do need is to accept the risk and be aware that theres no assurance if we do talk about the future. Act accordingly with your knowledge and skills and you would be seeing neither you had done a bad or right decision.Sell when you do able to do so
and hold if you do see a particular coin does have potential to rise up its price so its a personal choice in the end of the day as always.

Today, you have seen how the bitcoin price down to a level which no one has expected due to which many of the traders made losses but in short term trading it is normal to get a loss due to bitcoin, wise is that person who hold the coins whether it is bitcoin or any other coin through which he wanted to make a good profit.

I am not ready to agree that this kind of bearish market movements are unexpected. People who are into bitcoin market for years definitely expecting such kind of market situations always and if you are having enough funds in back up then you should go for buying the dips with plans of holding for long term; this way long term holders are making use of bearish market.

If you are good in technical analysis then you can go for frequent buying and selling still the market is too smart to trap you at any point. This is the reason long term holders never prefer active trading.

It's best to always take the profit of the coin which is been held if the person don't feel like to sell the coin to rebuy another. But it's not still advisable to hold a particular coin for a very long time expecially coins that are not too reliable. If one should decide to hodl coin for a long it should be a coin that their is assurance its a future coin.

If you expect the the price of the coin will increase over time, then its good to hold, but give it a time frame so that you can still enjoy the profits and buy back again at a lower price. Even if you have bitcoins in your wallet, its never a wise decision to hold them forever. But if you are afraid to take the risk in selling, you can sell some of them so you can roll the profits and then hold the remaining for a bigger profits in the future.

Mistakes do really commonly happen on these times on which there are individuals who cant able to determine on which project is worth to hold off and which isnt because most of the time
we do baghold lots of  shitcoins or ton of crap thats why we do really end up on having lots on our bag which ending up on having no value which do really sucks.
Sometimes it do need up some luck for you to make money depending on some circumstances.

It really sucks upon seeing my wallet with those shitcoins stuck there. We have no choice as we can't sell them and felt sometimes in regret of not selling them before when they still have a market value. We can blame ourselves somehow and say that holding couldn't assure assurance especially if we have held worthless coins or new projects. As I realize that only Bitcoin could give that assurance if we aim for long-term holding as its value is boldly growing but not these altcoins.

Before making a decision to hold coins in the long term, of course we can't be arbitrary in determining it,
because if our decision is wrong then the risk we will lose money,
it is very important to do some research before making a decision to hold

The problem with holding many altcoins is that many altcoins are projects in which they only increase the price quickly but in the long term they do not increase in price and this creates a scenario where a person spends years holding something that will not go up in price , I see certain people saying: " I'm still doing hodl but I'm at a loss "seriously? Why continue with something that is causing losses?

This is where profit taking decisions would be crucial because you wouldnt know if a particular coin would rise up its price in the future or would be totally be stagnant or totally dies off thats why

it would really be leaving a regretable feeling whenever you had missed out on selling on peak.This is why decisions should really be taken on seriously and wont really just ignore

but if you do really believe on a certain project then you would really hesitate on holding it off for long years to come.

But not all altcoins are not suitable for long term hodling, ethereum and BNB for me are still worth to be hold for long term. And the rest are just good for short term hodling. So its always a wise decision to sell when prices are in peaks because there is no guarantee that the coins you are hodling will never fall back. Unless you are keeping bitcoin, its best to hold it as a long term investment as it could potentially help fund our retirement. Just my thoughts.

That's what I recommended to everyone. Sell when you feel you are in profit and again buy when the market has dumped. This will work very perfectly nowadays because the market is so volatile it pumps in a day and another day it dumps. When it gets pumped sell your holding and when it is dumped buy again at lower prices.

Yah right.  ;D What is the sense of holding a coin forever?Of course you gonna sell it when you think that it is the right time to sell. And then buy some more when the market is bearish.Thats how it goes. You dont need to hold it for all of your life... ;D

That is the best strategy to make a good profits from your trade and still prepared for future profit making. Sell your coins the moment their price move  higher in the market to enable you to make a good income from your trade,  and when the price decreased then buy and hold for future purpose. Many people don't still understand how to make a passive income in this season of bearish market without experiencing any losses from their investment. Now that many coins has dropped price few weeks ago, it will be favourable for anyone to buy those coins and hold for the price to move higher before the end of February to achieve  something good that will put smile on your faces in the community.

No one will hold crypto coins forever, I doubt if there is someone to have that idea. Everyone who knows who crypto market trends "bullish & bearish", must know when he/she need to buy crypto coins and when he/she must sell the coins. It is clear that in the bullish, the prices of crypto coins will increase significantly before the prices drop again pretty much in the bearish season. So, everyone who knows the bullish will end, must sell their coins as soon as possible. Then, probably buy again in the dip, when the bearish season comes.

We should set selling points whatever the situation would be because if you dont then you would really be missing out chances for you to make profits because there are coins
which do only pump once or several times then dies after or would really be staying up in low value for how many years thats why you should really be that wise on making
actions if you dont really like to regret and minding that you should have made some serious amount of profits but because you are presuming and somewhat been mixed
with greed  then you would surely be thinking off this way.

Sell when you're in need of the money and much better doing that when you're in profit. Because if you do it during the time that the market isn't favorable and you're not in profit, that's just making yourself cut the losses.

But there will be some argument about selling.

Like it's not yet enough for them at that rate so they're not going to sell and wait for further pump.

I have learned that lesson during the height of eth tokens popularity. Remember those days where etherdelta was still popular, a lot of eth tokens were being traded. And look at them now, I am sure most of those tokens are already long dead and gone. So if you feel that you are holding tokens or coins that don't have very good foundation, better sell it while you are still in profit, even small profit. Because later on, you will find out that coin will have no more value and no exchange to trade with. Some are holding tight for the hope of multiplying their profits, but usually it is not the case.

It is a temporary idea. Everyone has needs and everyone is human, so they will have to spend those coins at some point when they run out of fiat cash at hand. But I hope that does not happen to anyone in real.

Cycling the coins is important but some traders are stubborn and they dont realize that there are actually two narratives in play here. One is the long term hodlers who are not selling anything for a long time and another is the hodler who has kept a fraction of their holding for trading and the rest for long term holding. When traders confuse these two they end up holding when they could have sold and made a profit and using the profit they could buy-back.

Now it is the trader's decision to sell or not and there are ample opportunities when the swings happen.

We should not forget to take profit at times especially if our coins are increasing, thats the purpose why we are investing, to gain from our investment. But sometimes people are greedy to earn more, even the price are high enough they are aiming for much higher price. Well there's nothing wrong with that especially if you dont need the money yet, but isn't it more wise to enjoy some of your profit? Anyway we have different strategies and certainly know what is best.

I think the reason why some persons hodl a particular coin for very long time it because maybe  the time which the coin was being bought it was a coin that had value in the market,  on the process of holding it for some time it lose value.  At this point people in this condition get confused  and know not what to do than keep on holding and waiting until anytime it gains value in the market.

Hodling is an investment strategy that prevents you from losing from those short term volatility so you preferred for long term hodling. But is this really a wise investment strategy? For some, yes, especially if they are hodling most likely bitcoin. But for others, no, as there are more profits if you can manage by selling at the peak and buy back again when the market is bearish. Profits will be compounded little by little and before you realize it, you have owned already a lot of bitcoin out of single bitcoin that you managed to buy and sell.

How if we already bought at the previous pump? Although there is a pump, the price still cannot meet the target to sell. I have some altcoins on the wallets whose values are far from the buying price. I am still holding although there are some pumps lately because their prices are still very cheap. I don't know how long to hold, but there is no another choice, only hold.

If you bought trough previous pump just cut loss best ideas I think and not recommended to hold still bitcoin stable and not any exact date when pump, you can take recovery with other investment coin but if you can hold maybe you need waiting more than three months later for reach up, almost every year June and July as best month for bitcoin and altcoin pump to higher price but is not guarantee if you not have other saving funds cut loss is good decision to do.

That's right, in a case like yours, there really isn't a better choice than to hold on.
on the other hand if you just hold on continuously without any certainty it's also difficult,
need patience and hope that the coin you are holding at this time can go up in price again

Therefore, choose coins that are really potential, so we don't need to hold too long. If we buy shitcoins, of course it will be difficult to sell them,
even if the price goes up, usually it will not be that high. In fact I have some shitcoins that have been in my wallet for quite a while, there are
shitcoins that I have hold for 3 years but the price of those shitcoins has not increased. So it is very important to do research and analysis before
deciding to buy coins for investment, so that we don't choose the wrong coins, make sure the coins we choose do have a bright future.

You really have no choice but to hold until you recover. That's the choice that you can make or if you want to cut loss if you're already too deep. You have to accept the fact that you've already made a loss. But as you've said, you're going to hold and there's another option.
And that is to add if you want to.

If you are trading on Shitcoin make sure you are ready to lose money or earn more money. I think you just need to take advantage of that hype coin or token and you should get out right away. Holding shitcoin too long time is not profitable, as some shitcoins even happen rugpul. If you have bought in a high price and are currently down then just assume your money is lost. This means staying resilient and don't expect anymore it will return to the original price. Just hold on and switch to another coin/token and don't repeat your mistake again.   

You will do a research about the project if it has chance to pump in the future. The way you can research on that is if the project is talking of future plans and schedule of listing or introduction of some creation and innovation to what you know. Like some times a project can do a swap, change name or create some more features and by this you know hodling for future can do you good.

I thought they do not need a money yet but why they are greedy to earn more profits? They shouldn't lie for their selves and they should cash out early if they want to or if they still have the chance because this could not be repeated anymore. They are greedy for profits so they invest on pump and dump coins, that is why the chance of earning a profit can be for a limited time only but yeah who we are anyway to educate them? That was their life and they know what works for them.

I think the op is already mixing the trader and the investor. It is not the investors role to buy and sell and buy and sell but i think that is already for the traders.

Everything should be research from roadmap until on what kind of project are you dealing off, is it;

1. Does have some realistic long term goal?
2. Does it have real use case?
3. Does it have non repeated kind of idea?
4. Are the team behind working or putting efforts?

There are lots of factors which could really be solid thing for you to mind or do look before you could able to point
out even though it wouldnt be that precise but at least you had done your thing.

Holding a coin for a long time requires detailed research about the coin to be purchased, if you only do regular research without taking into account the coin will develop or not, it will certainly be very risky. Usually ordinary people who are new to crypto just follow other people's advice and then get stuck on coins that don't thrive.
It is better to hold bitcoins or coins in the top 10 of CMC, as they are more trusted and continuously developed.

I would say DCA is a much better method. Consider that as an alternative when you purchase some more from the bottom. I personally rarely ever sell out of a coin, I just end up buying some more and dropping my purchasing price. If it looks like a coin or a token that is a scam then I would just cut my losses and get out, but if it is just a pump that I bought at the peak, then all I could consider doing would be DCA.

This way I could go on without a trouble and make as much profit as I could without a worry in the future when the price goes up. Obviously this requires you to constantly have cash to invest and sometimes that is difficult to do, but it is not impossible neither.

I agree with you. It makes no sense in holding a particular coin for lifetime. Because, without selling during the Bullrun, I don't think there is another means of making good profits from Crypto. Truth be told, we all invest in Crypto to make good profit. Although, HODLing is never a bad idea, but we should be conscience enough to know when to sell. However, We have other altcoin that have potential of rising high.

Holding a particular coin all your life can sometimes be frustrating because if the coin does not yield result,or it falls,one is liable to having heart problems which will end up making one regret why he had not given up on the coin for a long time.

Holding is very good,but when it results are not coming,switch to other coins that are doing well and invest in.

You can choose a few coins for long term holding but in this case you do not have to hold these coins for life. If you think your holding coins are making a lot of profit then you can sell them in the market. If you feel that your holding coin is not giving you profit then you can feel free to hold it.

Set up a profit percentage and just close off the trade when that reaches it. It might take a month or an year to for the trade to close. It might be with any best coin having a huge trading volume. Holding needs patience and it would challenge you or temp you too much when there is sudden hike or sudden dip. Fluctuation is its nature and yes do not go for a panic sell or buy. It would lead you to loss. So be calm and hold your coins and get your profit.

^ That is right, if you have been purchased 1 BTC it will remain 1 BTC in your wallet and there is nothing to lose not unless you will sell it under the amount that you have purchased. When you see your target profit just sell it and re-invest when seeing the market is down I think that is what they call long-term trading which is a long process of making a profit in crypto but it is surely and has a 100% guarantee of making a profit. It also has a less risk but the only problem that you could able to fight is that the patience that you have

That is why we should have to give some faith and confidence to what we are doing just to keep control of our emotions. Fluctuations can be normal but if we feel disturbed because of trust issues and being doubtful of our investment, emotions can rise and drive us to make a wrong decision, probably selling at the wrong time. But of course, it doesn't mean that we hold our coins for the life because of trust, as we are looking for a profit selling them during their peak is the best decision rather than missing them.

Nobody said you have to save for life, that's stupid.
save as much coins as you can and the target you have set. If the target has not been achieved Hold on and do not be influenced by others. The most important thing is research, good coins will have good development like Bitcoin, ethereum and other altcoins.
In crypto the profit of 30%-40% is still very small. Profits can even be hundreds to thousands of percent depending on where you enter and what projects you are involved in. If you want to get a quick profit, use scalping and keep doing it as often as possible. Holding or selling when profiting is the same thing, depending on where you set the limit.

I agree to this one. Not just BTC, but also to other altcoins, memecoins, shitcoins, whatever that is. And yes I was so dumb being greedy and holding too much of those "promising" coins and tokens back then when I didn't had the chance to sell them high. Lesson learned from me. Now I have already started to sell when it goes to my targeted higher price rather than just being greedy. After all, profit is profit and we should be happy of it rather than losing.

I've even seen the price of ETH below $100 but I managed to hold.

That's really a sad story for you. If you have just been able to hold ETH during those bearish moments, you're high in profit. But because of the problem that you can no longer hold.

You're able to sell.

A lesson that everyone can learn that being patient really pays off.

Everyone has different plans and targets with the aim of selling profit, not selling at a loss and that is very stupid and whatever the reason is having to wait for the price to go up and make a profit when selling it again.
and for bitcoin it is more appropriate to hold it in the long term to get a very satisfying profit and another reason bitcoin has a low risk as long as we are patient and consistent with it, because even though there is a long decline, it will eventually rise again, even exceeding the highest price.

I treat bitcoins to be kept long term and for reserve funds and sell them when I really need them and as needed, and also some altcoins for short or medium term and sell them only when the price rises above the price I previously bought.

Its a good trick always to sell on when you got enough return from it .We all need to hold coin but we also need to sell when we are in profit .If we don't do it we can just watch the drama where market goes through ups and down .You have to keep it mind as well that you need to do it carefully cause if you do it continuously you may make loss when the market goes on bearish momentum .So that we need to be more active and hold our token for long term and also sell it when we can get a good return .That's how our money can work for us .

You look funny and not see how much profit earn by some holder Shiba coin and take keep holding for two or three years after Shiba open listing on market, I think not all holder is waste time but they try how can earn higher profit with holding coin more than longer time than usually, where some people or investor just hold and invest about one or two month but there are still have many holder keep hold coins for several year to earn much profit.

Not necessarily a bull market but rather sell when you are already seeing some gains on what you are holding because it will eventually be having those corrections afterwards on which
it would be worth if you do sell it off for gains then buy later when the price is decreasing.

Just look for example on whats happening with bitcoin on which lucky to those who had sell out on 44k yet the price had declined to 37 which it wouldnt be bad on buybacks on this
price level point.

The question is, would you consider it out on re-entry? This does depend on some risk management question.

Yes you are right brother. If you are holding a coin for long term then left it. Don't see it for 5 years. After 5 years it will definitely give you profit. But the main thing is that project must be must.
See, if anyone holding Bitcoin when he was 1$. If he invest only 100$ in Bitcoin and bought it at 1$ price. Now, he become millionaire. Because now Bitcoin all time price is more then 60000$. He has waited 10 years and now he become millionaire. So, think about long term projects

Yes it could possibly give out that chance but no one had anticipated that bitcoin would  really reach out those numbers on which or come to think that there are only a few who had
believe into that project and thats the risk on which anyone should really be putting on specially if they are really going for long term.So its a matter or risk taking because not all
projects would really be worth for you to hold on which means you do need to make out some research before making any step and also dont expect that much that your
choices would really be right.

Many people who hold altcoins face this thing most times as their expectations are often shattered. Greed will not let such people sell and take profit even when price rises they still want it to rise more as if they can decide for the market what to do and what it should not do.


Alot of people do not like taking profit at 30%-40%. They want to wait till much higher percentage and before they know what is happening they have missed out on taking that profit and that chance is gone and gone forever.

I am not sure why some people would do that, does it mean that they don’t need the profit or is it that they are being kind of greedy and feeling that they can accomplish everything that Bitcoin has to offer or something? It’s not bad to HODL, but when you start to do it too much, it becomes quite bad, because as they say, too much of everything is very bad.

I do HODL long term, but that doesn’t mean that I hold for as much as not taking my profit when the time is right. When the market goes up I always make sure to take my profit. There are also other things that you can do apart from investing in Bitcoin right? So we shouldn’t limit ourselves.

Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like Al that sounds crap to me, Looks like Al that sounds crap to me  Some people who like to do it for a very long time and they do not want to spend it even if it is the current price, they want to give it up instead of waiting for it

I have seen a lot of people have missed good opportunities because they feel that the market isn’t going down anytime soon and they still continue to look for even more profit , they wake up the next only to realize that the market has crashed and they have lost their money.

The funny part is that some of them would see the market dropping slightly, and they wouldn’t take that as a sign to take the profit that they have made so far, rather they will keep being positive without proof that the market would go up further. A big mistake to make, although I know for sure that the market wouldn’t benefit everyone.

Of course we need to see what the potential of the coins we hold is like so that we can make the right decisions,
indeed when the price of the coin we hold rises then the choice is to sell it or keep it,
everyone has their own decision and it's up to them

This is where risk taking would set in on which you should really mind about those possibilities because not all investments would end up on being profitable and its part of the risk
which you should be aware off on the first place.Selling or holding is someones decisions on a particular coin or project that they've been holding for too long, some might be worth
but its not an assurance that it would really give out that kind of positive outcome in future years to come and everything would really be in random.

Greed is often the problem why some investors are refraining themselves to sell even the price is already high. But for me it depends on the coin, because there are coins that are proven to be profitable to hold for long (like Bitcoin). If you're an investor who can live comfortably without relying on your investment even if takes longer then its not a problem. Selling depends on every investors plan and goal. But its also right to take profit to enjoy our earnings.

The problem with this risk taking for most people and I say this also for myself,,, is that people are actually highly unaware of the actual risk they could be taking.

Firstly they may not be aware that majority of these coins will never make mainstream adoption, hence, no utility, hence has much much more risk of going to zero than to x10 or whatever it is.

Secondly, they may not even be aware that the risk doubles and triples with the time you hold. If a coin takes 2 years and does not innovate,,, and others take its place, it will lose more and more probability of reaching a good market price.

So people hold and hold. Their dreams and hopes grow stronger while their risk goes higher and higher.

Most of the holders are hoping that one day their coin will gain its value in the market. Which for me is understandable because you won't spend your funds buying a coin not hoping that it will do good in the market. However, in most cases, projects are being abandoned by their respective developers because they have no intentions to move forward in the first place. As they are only after for the quick cash that they can pocket while there are naive users buying their coin. Sad to say, many investors will only find out this treachery once the team disappears. So if you want to hold a specific coin for long term, better stick to the top alts like btc and eth, because their existence has been proven that they have solid foundation in this market.

Out of thousands projects in the market then its not surprising that only few would really able to succeed or gain price in the future and no one would ever know on what would
happen ahead and this is what makes more harder for us to determine on which project does have potential thats why in depth research is much recommended or needed.
You dont need to hold though because there are coins which do only pump a few times thats why you should really be watchful.

As I said, in the end if people enter without realizing the full risk, they end up holding and hoping and dreaming. I cannot tell you just how many times I meet people hodling bags of crap that keep getting crappier,,, and they cannot see anymore they hold only hopes and dreams.

I can say this without arrogance because this is who I was and what I became. I learned quickly however,,, and try to get people to also not make the same mistake.

Thats why you should be wise on making up decisions on selling times or you do see the market had made out some nice pump on which you shouldnt really make yourself that greedy on looking for more which is a usual

case for most people that they've become greedy on these kind of times which if they had stick out into their plans on making profits then they should have done on securing those rather than on missing out

those kind of opportunity that doesnt really come often.Be having a good control into yourself when it comes to these kind of decisions is a must.

Indeed. People had come to think they could gain more if they hold longer but seems it was a mistake as not all the time market gives us a favor, sometimes we neglect the negative, especially during the bullish season. I did this before but now, I realize that was wrong and we have to take the opportunity to sell during the short pump. Making a profit of at least 10% in very selling is not regrettable, it was the best decision rather than to wait years but still no huge difference.

It's simply that certain individuals like to do it throughout extremely extensive stretches of time, and that they'd prefer not to spend it regardless of whether they've as of now benefitted at the current cost, they rather hang tight for a greater open door. All we really want to trust that the perfect opportunity will sell and to reappear the market. I imagined that is sound judgment for any ordinary individuals.

We have different level of tolerance when it comes risk and when it comes to management on making out decision depending on the situation which means we would be having different
situation because not all would really be minding on the same thinking on these scenarios.If you do see that it is worth on holding then its up to your own choice
whether its a do or die for you because not all investment turns out to be positive so its not that an easy choice for you to make.

I think that for me, holding even for long term or short term, the final is to make bigger profits.
And holding Bitcoin by buying BTC when in a bear market and taking profits when in the bull market is something that is normal and very worthy.
I a,m not a person who will hold Bitcoin or other coins forever in my life, but I will take profits after the price that I think I have reached the target. Taking profits after long-term holding is not bad, isn't it?   ;D

And from this, I can also save some of the profits for my life, and let some buy more Bitcoin in the bearish market to prepare for the next bullish. This is what holding means for my life.

but for me, selling some of it and enjoying what we do is the main choice. especially if we consider that the coin is indeed worthy to be held in the long term. the question is, don't we have a target to sell it... I don't think that kind of thing is a good thing to do, unless we are already living well and intend to do it for our children and grandchildren

I think that the only currency that I would be able to save and without regrets is btc, because for me it is a guarantee that as time goes by it will take more value and not only value but I know that its behavior will grow in terms of price, just knowing that the normal accumulation period of BTC is approximately 3 to 4 years, and that then a new ATH occurs is something spectacular, at the moment many fundamentals are happening, which has made the market work in a different way that often focuses on uncertainty and not knowing how to understand what can happen, but this is normal because volatility is what makes this possible, for me the Hodl is the best strategy.

You need to buy coins at their all time low to avoid holding for way too long, for example those that buy BTC at 19,000$ in 2018 had no choice but to hold for two years before market started recovering, those who buy BTC at 3500$ in march 2020 holds till 2021 and take profits.

But how long you would be waiting for all time low? This is something would be a never ending kind of chase because you couldnt able to determine on where the market is moving
on which it is really hard for an investor on making out such decision whether you do tend  to hold or would tend to sell when you are in profits.
You should be wise on making out decisions because it is true that you wont really be needing on holding for too long if you could able to make money in shorter duration or time.
So be wise on making out decisions on whatever you do.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0 - this term started for btc, but many took this serious for shitcoins and that's the reason for failure ::)

It's simply that certain individuals like to do it throughout extremely significant stretches of time, and that they'd prefer not to spend it regardless of whether they've as of now benefitted at the current cost, they rather sit tight for a greater open door. . All we want to trust that the perfect opportunity will sell and to reemerge the market. I believed that is presence of mind for any typical individuals.

The hodling strategy is more than buying a coin and holding it for a very long time. That is not what hodling shout mean in a real sense. I have made this kind of mistake for so many times. Not until someone told me to sell the coins on lost and rebuy another coin or buy the same coin again. I did not find it reasonable to do so but I am seeing this message again but the money has gone upto 75%, I don't know what do to.

This advice of not holding for long is so good, even if you really plan to hodl it for so much long time, there is no need to dump it and don't give it attention. You should always watch the coin when it grows you sell and wait to rebuy when it falls. I feel that it is the right strategy to follow in the market.

But that action would really be having some corresponding risks behind it which you should really be that aware on the decision that you are making because it would neither be  ending up on what you are anticipating

or would do the opposite and we wont know on what the future holds or look like this is why making out decision will really be having risks and sometimes intuition does really help these kind of times.

Sell when you are in profit and if you do see that it is worth to do so or would wait up even more longer for more profits.

There was a point when I thought that just holding my cryptocurrency for a really long time was what I needed. But, I finally started to think about it and it started not to make any sense to me because I really needed the money or profit that I was making from these cryptocurrencies that I have invested in.

Hence, I started to feel that the decision doesn’t really make any sense at all for me that I need to make sure that I am selling once I have made profit so that I can be able to use the funds in other areas or businesses that I am involved in.

This way for me, when I invest in a coin I make sure to check whatever returns that come from it at the right moment. It can be really helpful to do that. You don't just leave the profit there to stay forever. Then it wouldn't just be making any sense.

Some of them do make that decision because they feel it is the best decision for them to make. and it is mostly what they do when they’re investing in coins like bitcoin because they feel that bitcoin will keep on increasing all the time and it is best for them to continue holding it and keep on making profit for as long as it goes.

So, they don’t care about selling and they just leave it there hoping that it keeps on increasing. It is really a matter of choice, maybe they also don’t have any need for the money. In a situation where you do not have any need for that money that you have invested in the market then I don’t really see it as a bad decision for you to continue to leave your money in the crypto-currency market.

That's why at the beginning we at least set a target first because if we just keep holding it and the coin doesn't support it then we can lose,
if we have top coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB I think it's fine if we continue to hold them without worry,
set a target then follow the market movement and that is the important thing

Holding for 1 or 2 years will not too stressful than to help you to make a good profit from the market. Now that the price of coins are improving in the exchange market, it will be better for holders to start releasing their coins for sale to embrace a good income from the market.
Those that invested on those stable coins some years ago, will have nothing to worry about than to start earning from their long term investment.

deletd

It's actually part of the matter with what we hold. If you're holding a lot and then most of them are useless altcoins, then there's not that much profit that you can get with it and you're only wasting your resources like time and money. And there are wise investors that even they're only investors, they don't tend to trade.
They still become successful investors despite of not being an extreme trader. They just know when to sell and buy at the right time.

Not all coins are legit so not all coins can last a long time. If you know to your self that you picked up a suspicious coin that will soon do a rug pull, you should sell that coin as early as possible. That's the only way to make a profit on them but some legit coins will get better in time. It's only just a matter of hodling them.

There are coins that are from 2017 or even beyond that year that are still alive until now and some of them are now stronger compare to what they are before. When you do crypto trading almost any coins are suitable for use because when you trade you are selling them right away but sadly not all likes to do trading but most will go for hodling.

it will be more optimal if we know the bullish season and bearish season, so that we do not continue to hold our coins, and can maximize profits. especially with the profits that have been achieved, we are patient to wait for the bearish season to arrive, so that we can buy them back with the profits that have been held. In that way, of course, our assets will grow faster than if we hold them without selling them

I like the word buy bears and sell bulls above, and that's the strategy I used to recover my losses on buying multiple coins when BTC was around $44K in the past month. So I cut losses on my losing coins and I bought again when they were low, sell them go when they were high, so yes I sold the bulls and bought the bears to chase the losses and it worked.
I know many people out there don't dare to sell at a loss and do this strategy, because everyone's mentality is different and they become hodlers forever because they don't dare to act and take risks. IMHO

not everyone will switch so quickly for another coin. When the advantages were seen before their eyes, they would be waiting happily. Profit is very hard to come by, everyone is afraid of losing. Replacing with other Altcoins that are not necessarily profitable, I don't think traders will do it. I wouldn't do it myself either. Try to be patient so you don't regret it.

One shouldn't hold a particular coin all his life because sometimes different exchanges can delisted or swapped coins without arranging announcement. Or sometimes it would out of market or scammed by team management. So don't hold a certain particular coin all your life.

There are a lot of people they hold on to for a lifetime. They do not realize that they have a profit, they sell it now. It's not that they don't sell despite the profits, but it's a lot of stupidity.You should sell only when you see the profit from your investment.And if the price goes down, you should buy those coins again and invest.

actually that's a true investment, which we sometimes do not remember and pay attention to the market all the time. it is certain that they use cold money to invest, so that they do not interfere with their finances for their daily needs, until they realize that they have made a lot of profit, they just need to take it to enjoy it, or keep it for the inheritance of their children and grandchildren, it all depends on the goals of the investor.

When we want to invest it is very appropriate to use cold money because as you said that it will not interfere with daily needs,
especially with the big risk of losing money, I think we will not be too sorry and dizzy if we use cold money,
clearly understand and learn first before starting to invest

I have loss many of my profit just for holding the coin when they were up and just sold them when they were at the low price, this is my biggest fall in the trading strategies because I didn't have a habit of holding the token for most of the time and I sell them when I need money or when I get frightened about losing the money in that coin which leads me towards the loss in these particular coin.

It's funny how you guys don't have the guts to sell a coin when it's at the top but you don't hesitate selling them once the price is collapsing but there is no problem of selling the coin when you badly need the money like you will be using that money into something else that is more important than hodling the coin. You said you are a trader? then that was fine to not hodl for too long because traders are active in buying and selling.

It's where the volatility that makes them earn a profit but for long term hodlers, it was the stability and the bull run that is important for them. You should not be here if you are afraid to lose. Investing or trading is for the brave guy's only.

Yes, many of us make the biggest mistake of buying a coin and holding it for life. This is the biggest mistake for us.Cryptocurrency should be sold immediately if there is profit from anything you have invested.Because the market is not always in the same position. If need be, we will buy again when the market goes down again.If we hold on to such a move, then of course we can hold on and take profit.

I mean, this entirely depends on your goal as an investor. There are people who HODL coins not for the purpose of earning a quick profit, but there are also some investors waiting for that perfect moment to cash-out their coins.

For example, people who focus more on the short-term aspect of investment may cash out their coins once the purchase price is higher than the acquired price they bought their coins. While this may be the case, others prefer to HODL their coins and cash out for maximum value- I guess minimum of 5-10 years of HODLing?

Honestly, to be able to use this trick, another strategy is needed too...

I know that to be a long term holder then it is not possible because how will I make money?  then I put my assets in two places, one that I use for long term investment and one that I use for trading.

One of the best investment so far is Long term investment. Just buy a coin and hodl for a period of 5-6 years, you would be in massive profits. Imagine buying Bitcoin when as of 2010 when the price was $0.09, by now you would have been a multi-millionaire. The secret about the crypto space is to bagged Enough coins when it has hit ATL( all time Low) or it's in serious dip and sell it when it's have hit ATH( All time High) price in the market. Then, you can still continue your daily trading.

You can really do both if you want but of course not all would be having the finances on doing so but having some allocation or division of your investment is something easy and this is something a personal choice thing

to do and its true that most people who do go for long term would not really mind about getting profits for short term basis but there are some who are really serious on taking profits on active manner.
Set your goals and target because you would regret if you do see that you had missed out on making money in short term basis.

IMO.

There's no other trick needed when you use buying at lows and selling at highs.

That's the actual strategy that you need to profit in this market and the choice is the one that matters so I think that comes in for another strategy.

You can also put on 1 asset and take some part and divide the whole in long term holding and trading.

As a trader, we must have clear goals, many traders seem confused in determining goals, only buying based on rumors or trending for a moment which makes them regret when they see the fact that prices continue to decline, it is better to buy coins that we have analyzed, then set a profit target and period of time to be achieved so that we can get big profits.

This is a lesson that we have to sell at least what we bought, for example we buy a coin with a price of $ 500 then the price skyrockets to $ 1000 then the best thing is to immediately sell half of it to get our money back, this is to ensure that when the price dips then we don't lose money our.

It's true as a trader it is necessary to set clear goals at the beginning and if just following the trend it is too risky,
trading is very complex and if we just buy coins without doing research and analysis then we will most likely lose,
the most important thing is to prepare everything before starting to trade

Those who decide to hold long-term almost always use idle money to invest and they are not too concerned with short-term market movements. It is not necessary to sell when there is a profit and buy back when the price falls, sometimes we also lose if we sell and buy back because we can't be sure that when we sell it will drop. The better way is to buy as much as possible when the price drops.

Studying the history of cryptocurrencies, we see that holding coins with excellent basic functionality is very profitable. 

For example, early Bitcoin investors were able to increase their initial capital by 100,000 times (in terms of US dollars).  The holders of Ethereum, Ripple, Monero, Stellar, Ada (Cardano), EOS and many other altcoins also increased their initial capital. 

At the same time, the most important and difficult thing in investing is not to sell the asset ahead of time.  It's psychologically difficult. 

At the same time, if you bought Bitcoin for $1, then it doesn’t matter to you in principle whether you sell it for $30,000 or $60,000.  Either way, you will make huge profits.

Cryptomarket is a more volatile platform where if you hold an asset in the bull market there could be a huge void that would be able to recover the cost. ‍So try to avoid such type of holding and keep in mind that Bull market is not for hold and bear market is not for sell.

Here are some of the ones I found to be interesting: There are a number of things that can be done to help you get the most out of your life.  If you can't sell it then you will fall into big greed

This is a fact and eventually, you get to sell at some point. Besides, how do you enjoy the benefit of an investment if you don't sell. The problem with hodling is always knowing when to sell. That's the most difficult part of hodling and that's due to the fact that, coins have turned to be a store of value in place of serving as just a currency. With that, every coin hodling is an investment hence, its potential resides in the future and even when the coin experiences some bear dark days, you've got the impression that, there is a bull market for the coin I  the future and you would hate for you to sell at a lose.

Trading is not as easy as we imagine, because trading is not just buying at a low price and selling it at a high price. Sometimes we really have
to have specific goals and plan everything well when trading. Suppose we plan to hold certain coins for 3 years, then during those 3 years we will
not sell the coins that we are holding no matter what happens in the market. That's why sometimes it takes struggle and patience if we want to
succeed in making big profits.

Then there are those who have different strategies and plans, we can sell or buy coins gradually, it is also a lot of people who do it and proved
quite effective to generate profits. Actually quite a lot of strategies to make profit from crypto, depending on the strategy we will use, everyone
usually has a different strategy and target. So the preparation is also different, so try to use a strategy that we think is effective and comfortable
to use. Don't let us trade using other people's strategies, which we are not comfortable doing, it only makes us suffer a lot of losses. Because
it's not necessarily the strategy that other people use will suit us, so don't trade based on other people's opinions, because only we know what
strategy is right for us.

all I'd say is DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU, the fact that someone chooses to sell at the bullish season shouldn't influence your decision whether to hold longer or sell off because, at the end of the day,you'd be responsible for whatever actions you take

This is in point or simply in short that you are responsible on whatever outcome you would experience neither you do believe into someones or just purely basing up with your own intuition and decisions

that you had made out in regarding with your investment.Its true that there's no one that you would depend on but only yourself and this is why making out decisions in terms like this will really be
depending on you.It would really be normal that you would seek of on something that works or do make out some profits and this is where you should really be focusing on.

That is a good strategy, but also keep in mind to cashout money back to fiat to save it at a bank account isn't a good idea, because the longer you hold your funds in fiat, the less purchasing power you will have due to growing inflation.

Fiat must be used for purchases, invested on something or exchanged into trustful cryptocurrencies. Avoid holding it at all costs!

And when investing in bitcoin you don't have to worry about cashing out too fast, because on long run the price is rising imposingly.

Well i also prefer to sell when bull and buy in bear market because that is the best strategy but sometimes we become bord on waiting and i experience it before, i hold a coin for 5 years and yet i never gain a single profit because the coin drop,that is why i never hold only one coin i hold different coin to also have different opportunities, different coin with a different market cap can be more exciting and i believe that we can have advantage if we hold different coin.

The problem is because of our greed even if we have enough profit secured we speculate more until the very top and suddenly whales entered causing the price back to the dip and panic small inventors, until its too late to sell and we have to wait another months to recover, as a wise trader we need to have a target price if we are holding coins, if it reached the target then sell immediately and buy new tokens to hold.   

if you know the meaning of HODLING then you don't  have to create this thread because this shows only your innocence , Remember it does not called HODL for nothing right?
if you are referring to selling and rebuying then that is not HODLING instead that is literally Buy Low and Sell High .
of course because none of us will listen to you because it shows how you don't understand this market .

We can at the beginning determine the target first so that when we have reached the target we can sell it,
when you don't have a target it will be different because the market will continue to move and we don't know what to do so when we can get a profit we continue to feel lacking,
and greed is what makes us lose

When to sell doesn't really matter when you get rich enough, its a problem for the poor people like me. I mean if you have let’s say 10 million dollars, do you really consider when to sell it? If you believe there is a better investment, like if you are renting but want to buy a house and sell like 300k to buy a house, then that’s fine but that’s another investment at that point. You don't sell and get the 10 million and just ... look at it? You keep it there because it has been great. But, if you have like a few thousand dollars, and want to sell it when it does 10x so that you could pay your debts, or buy a car or something, then you will be looking a price to get out.

Yes that's right. The only coin that is safe for us to invest long term is BTC with an accumulation time of 3 to 5 years. and hold strategy is a very good solution for us to invest. However, the readiness to do the hold must be really mature. we must have other income to meet our daily needs.

The result, I think, will be profitable if we choose Bitcoin for a long-term investment, there is no doubt,
holding is not just about holding coins for the long term because to do it apart from having to have other income we also need to have patience,
in holding patience has a big role and not everyone has it

Patience is the key but not all would really be having that kind of level of patience on dealing up with things because not all could really afford on holding for a very long time specially into those people who are needly
badly on making profits or income on a short time because they do need money for some personal reasons because we know that not all would be the same on having financial status thats why some people do really
find out ways on making money in shortest time as possible thats why setting up goals would really be that common and we do have our own ways on how we gonna secure it out if we do see the opportunity
or chances on doing so.So its a different scenario for everyone basing on what conditions we are experiencing on.

Well this happen to me a long time to hold and forget to sell lmao :P and in the end the coin I hold is ended up being a scam so I got nothing. I agree when we can sell the coin so we can buy top 10 altcoins or bitcoin the safest crypto rather than long term hold a project that can be scammed anytime. I'm not sad when that happens but that becomes an experience for me so I can decide the best move for next coin/token.

Before we invest or hold i think we need to set a limit on how long we do holding the coin it is not necessary yo hold a coin for a very long time when we can get profit on holding it in a weeks or a month. Crypto is a very high on volatility and the crypto market is always unstable so set a limit and you will be fine.

All I have to say before investing in a place is to think calmly and then go all out with all the information there and I think what you want to say here is that it will not interfere with everyday needs especially money.  With the big risk of losing what I think here is money I think I am very sorry and dizzy thinking about using money and I think if you think carefully before investing then get married otherwise you will lose.

I have felt this like you said when you receive some airdrop and as a newbie you feeling on top of the world that you have started a process of financial Independence and looking forward to more investment, hodling to that received you get surprise that after sometime the coin is requesting to change address or promise to list is no longer heard on the telegram, you complain and you get removed and your hodling is gone  ;D

It should be noted that if the coin you are holding is not a good coin then when there is value and it is good enough for you then I think at that time sell it, because there is no need to hold it any longer, in the end, it becomes a useless coin with nothing the value, I always throw away new coins even though the price is quite decent because for me coins that are not popular will tend to be a scam if held for longer.
Nothing but moving it to the main coin, namely Bitcoin.

I understand why you did it because actually in the long term there are thousands of new altcoins that die and cannot be developed by their owners. We have previous experience with bounties and we should have known that a new altcoin is only valuable as long as the hype is as good as it was when it was first traded on the exchange and then the price will never increase until the altcoin is only worth displaying in the wallet.

The best investments are when we really realize about the great potential of popular crypto like bitcoin and some potential altcoin. In the long term this investment will benefit the holder, so it would be great if we have it in the portfolio.

Its a matter of your own analysis whether you do trust the project or coin you been holding for long term or not because there are really instances on which we do really mind off on selling it once we do

see some opportunity for us to do so and there are instances on which we dont care nor skip out just because we  are really that aiming for long term which is something depends on someones particular goals.Yes, we dont need to hold for all of our life but it would really be basing on someones particular goals or targets which would really vary to each other.

 It is a bit also about the project and the popularity and the sanity of it as well. Like if you buy bitcoin and hold it for veeeery long time, I mean like decades, then nobody would question that, same could be said about ETH and BNB as well probably. However, if you come out and say that you will hold Shiba for a decade, then you will raise some eyebrows. So yes, a bit of your own analysis and researching the project matters, sometimes you just have to go against the publics opinion, but at the same time there are also a few coins that would be accepted to hold long term by everyone, so it doesn't require you individually making sure of it being good, because everyone accepts it as a good one.

Holding our coins is coin especially if you are pretty sure about it and it is one of the top coins in the market as well, where there is a higher chances that you can able to get a big profit in the future. Because, if you are planning to hold it for a years in the future that would be a bad idea in my own opinion dude.

It isn't bad if you're holding a good crypto for so long. Like bitcoin, so there's nothing bad if you're going to keep it for a very long time because that's the ideal thing to do. Before, many were encouraging of spending it to help the economy of it because that's why it's been made, to spend it and as an alternative payment. But this time, it gets more precious because of the value that it has and many would like to keep it for a long time because it's the ideal thing to do if it's for bitcoin and the other popular and top altcoins.

From looking at it from the plane view, holding a particular coin isn't even adventurous, and all your funds will be on a particular coin which is not even guarantee. So splitting your funds on different coin is better and safer because you will always have a place to run to when the other places go wrong.

Some people hodl coins that certainly will not boost their portfolio. Although, they won't keep a proper monitor on the coins, like when it pumps, they would let their greed ruled them by refusing to sell it. Always hoping to sell it at the coin ATH ( all time High). Which they will not know when it gets to it. Hodling forever is simply a dumb move made by you all in the name and believe that, the coin you are hodling will makes you rich for lifetime. Hence, Crypto is not a get rich quick scheme.

So I had an experience recently where I was holding this coin in my wallet I intend to hold for a long but then I started to see a constant decline in value and some time Increase in value and I start to ask myself instead of holding the coin seating in my wallet why not trade with the volatility of the market, so I give it a try and behold I made some significant profits and this has motivated me a lot. Thanks for this thread as the trade is an eye-opener to many newbies.

that way it will be faster to make a lot of profit, namely buying at a low price and selling it at a high price. but sometimes we don't know when the price will start the reversal, and it has reached the saturation point. what we do is sell it at strong resistance on a large time frame, so I think the profit we get is quite a lot. different from those who just hold on to it, this will be dangerous if we don't have a good mentality, so the panic sells we get

Selling the bull and buying the bear is the perfect way of doing trade. When we talk of holding, different users have got different views. Some decide to hold for a reason, some just buy and forget it. Some keeps it idle, for those people it is good to observe the market and sell when the market is bullish and buy back when the same turns bearish.

Also what OP have suggested is also good, when we find one of the cryptocurrency under hold is in the bullish move  go sell it and buy some other potential coin that is in the bear market. This practice is good, because we'll get understanding about different projects than sticking to limited projects. However we need to be careful while swapping from one to the other, because we need to go through different parameters before investing. Later it shouldn't be a tragedy investing on a hype coin and suffering to sell.

Just buy and forget it if we look at the current market we can stress ourselves because it doesn't move like what we want so long term mentality is needed here. we can look for new hope from a week ago and now that hope is gone but it's normal I think because right now the world is in a big mess condition. Dont forget to buy using your cold money so you won't get a headache because of the volatility.

There are several ways that we can avoid scammers and the risks of investing in the world of cryptocurrencies,
of course this is a good thing for us to be safe, the way is not to hold certain coins all your life,
because it will not guarantee you can succeed later, try to buy some altcoins, max 3 coins in the wallet,
for example CKB, SHIBA, and ALGO, I'm sure your investment can be successful

You really have no choice but to hold onto anything from here until you recover. If this is a choice you can't make here or if you are already too deep here you can minimize the damage from here.  You have to admit that you have already done damage but as you read here you are going to hold on and there are RTV stories and if you do not want you can add more here

Actually crypto is a dangerous place for investment if you did not buy suitable coin for future hold. No doubt that BTC hold is always batter but not all altcoins. I think altcoins have to be hold though roadmap and team activities otherwise it would be lose project all time.

I corroborate your opinion. I deserve that most of the holders make the same mistake, they buy particular coin but they hold it for long term in spite of they get the rational return but they ignore and hold it according to their expectation.

This is just a big mistake where most of the time you have the possibility of losing your assets. ‍So I would say that in the case of trading, boredom or emotion should never be ‍allowed.

There are some coins that are worth holding even if the price is low, and there are some coins that you should sell if you don't see a future in them. It's a smart idea to keep some coin on hand since you never know when the value will surge.

I just agree with this idea. Cryptocurrency has a good exchange potential, which is pretty stupid not to use it.

Search for ALL BEST ICO on CoinMarketCap kumkum, lakshmi, kundali bhagya (http://saathnibhaanasaathiya.com/). Near the price chart, press the "Market" button. You'll see a complete list of venues where you can buy ALL BEST ICO, as well as the currencies you can use to buy it, in this view.

Dont spread up non relevant links or sites which i had visited out which it wasnt even english which you are clearly out shitposting for this one.Any ICO wont guaranteed out
assurance for you to make profits out of your investment thats why you should really be that careful on dealing with it.
Dont tend to make use of those recommendations which doesnt really give out any convincing whitepaper or roadmaps in related with the project.
Selling or making out some targets is preferable but there are people who do intently to hold for long term.

After Twitter's board of directors accepted Musk's $44 billion Woh Toh Hai Albela (https://wohtohhaialbela.com/) buyout offer, the meme-inspired cryptocurrency soared as much as 27% on Monday. However, according to CoinGecko, Dogecoin has now lost much of its gains and is down 11% in 24 hours.

Well, every investment has risk because there's no assurance to gain from it. Crypto is not different especially if you decided to invest because of hype. This is often the problem of those who engage themselves without interest to dig deeper on how it really works to become knowledgeable.

Recently there are many projects who rug pulled resulting for many investors to lose their money. Investing in these coins are quite risky especially if you're greedy not to sell even the price is decent enough to take profit. Alts are ideal for short term but if your plan is to hold for long period then the best choice is Bitcoin. However, op is right to know when to sell and buy back during dip. It can maximize your profit but it requires an effective strategy and its a must that you know what you're doing.

Well that is a good advice mate, sell the bull buy the bear is yet simple and profitable strategy, but the problem is that investors has a different strategic way of getting profit from thier investment, i think they have limited thier time on when they are going to sell or hold the coin depending on the development of the particular coin that they invested, even if most of the expert says holding is good but there is still a risk on holdings because there are a lot of coins that turns into very low price after few years of holding and that becomes a waste of our time so we need to be careful.

Here are some of the notable ones but here it may be that this is the comment made here so if there is a good thick here then when there will be value but here I think it will, but in the end it becomes useless, but it is worthless, but here it is always thrown away, although it It didn't cost much, but the coins that are kept here for a long time can be scandalous, so it looks like it will get better very soon.

Bitcoin is good for longterm holdings but new altcoin is not a good choice. There are coins that you find it easy to earn but after a month the coin is not that good for investment because it totally goes down.

everyone has their own goals, there are also those who sort the coins, which are for the purpose of making their children grow up and bequeath them, and some are selling them when profit is obtained. Of course, everyone has their own goals and all of them are right, as long as they are consistent with their respective goals. many people make investments, but are not consistent with the original plan, as is greed that leads to panic selling

By the way, many people focus their attention on one coin and find it difficult to switch to other coins. It is important to understand that now the situation is changing often and you need to be prepared for this.

I find decisions such as this, on what coin to hodl or not as one of the toughest decision in the crypto space. All coins seems to have some potential, especially at its early stage and somehow, even in decline and with history on some other coins that have dumped and later pumped, you don't k ow when your making a bad decision. You really don't want that to be the case so, you result to holding. Crypto is just that difficult with no pointers to tell as, you could be wrong even on your best analysis. It's really up to you!

This is why some have scammed big, like for example the people that invest on luna coins, they already have the chance to sell their coins before but they choose to keep on holding because they have a big reason on why they are doing that. It's only sad that those dreams for their kids to have a better future are now gone in the wind.

We think that each are right with their own decisions because it was their money not ours but I think a wrong is still wrong. What if those people invest on junk coins and their plan is to hodl it for a long time? They will only suffer a loss if they keep on doing this. These people should lower their pride sometimes.

There are many benefits to keeping an eye on what to call, what kind of MG market to keep an eye on when new coins are up and down.  The decision has been coming here for weeks but I think it is for normal reasons but it is expected to be fixed soon.

I assume that the majority that holds only one coin are those people that choose stock trading for long term. For example, a certain guy bought bitcoin at $13,000 and decided to hodl that for his own perspective on which price he is going to sell all that. Maybe, other reason why they only hodl one coin, let's say Bitcoin, is that they trust it so much and don't really have that much trading knowledge, only buy low sell high.

Is it bad to only hodl Bitcoin? For me it's a NO.

I'm sure those holding long-term holdings understand the market outlook. they have benefited. and investing in only one coin is not wrong. they have a strong belief in the assets they own.

It will be different from some people who are more likely to spread their capital over several assets. seems to minimize risk when one of the assets does suffer a loss. but on the other hand, I think the risk will be even greater when we hold more assets than focus on managing investments only in one asset.

If we are talking about bitcoin, then it is definitely a good investment, but if we are talking about some kind of altcoin, then this is a big risk. The recent example of the LUNA shows us how bad things can get if a person believes in one coin. Diversifying your portfolio is an added security that should not be neglected. I stick to the strategy where the main part of the crypto portfolio consists of bitcoin, and a small percentage consists of altcoins.

Actually, I invested a certain amount in bitcoin a few years ago. Now I'm just waiting, and I think this option is quite appropriate.

Its appropriate and its up to your own call whether you do secure out your profits and then buyback when the price had made out corrections.If you are a long time holder then
it would really be not a bad idea on selling out some of those coins or totally sell it all for getting the profits that you had been long time holding.FOr the current price its not
bad but of course it depends on how much you had able to buy those coins wayback.,

If you do go short term then getting gains as minimal as possible is something that do ample for you then go ahead but its not for everybody.
You dont need to hold in particular coin in all of your life if you can actually utilize movements in active manner.

Regardless of everything they can advise, it is remarkable to say that the only safe currency is and will always be BTC, for my BTC it can be kept as long as necessary and I am sure it will not disappoint, in fact I think that in the distant future the btc will have a great price, for me I am a faithful believer in the S2F model that only applies to BTC and not to any altcoin, I fully respect altcoin investors and those who want to support projects, in fact there are many projects that can help many things, but the LUNA thing can happen to them at any time, and although the BTC market is not exempt from this scenario, I see something like this far away for the simple fact that in BTC there is a lot of money involved, and nobody wants to kill a big business so infallible and such superior technology economically.

Sell the bull and buy the bear sounds like the best investment advice, unfortunately it's hard to identify where the bull market ends and the bear market starts. Is the bitcoin price of 30,000 USD right now the end of the bear market or is the bill market still far away? The timing issue is what makes HODL investing so interesting and profitable. I also like to trade actively the market but do this in much smaller sizes. What is wrong with holding my majority of Bitcoins long term? It's not all about short term profit. For our grand parents it's normal to save money in a bank account and that money will eventually go to us. So why not do the same with bitcoins? We can leave behind crypto currencies instead of fiat money for our children and grand children. If we think for the next 100 years than holding long term becomes a new concept.

focusing for one coin is like valuing a specific coin and it is not good for investment for we to focus for a particular like enough the coins is doing well and it's given a good volume don't depends on one coin, before i was valuing Bitcoin than any other coins but since i notice that what Bitcoin can give me for investment and another coin will give me such and i began to spread my investment to other coins

It should be understood that many people think differently. For many, buying such a currency is already an investment for a long period of time.

But people should really be minding off about the risk involved to it because not every investment that you are diving in would really be ending up on positive since future isnt guaranteed but the thing we've been holding on is on the potential that we've seeing and the support of the community which is a highly indicative thing which does shows that it does really have chance on going into that path.
Selling decisions will really vary into each people due to several factors which would really be affecting their actions thats why even you do advise out on something then you cant be sure
whether they would be following it or not.

People doesn't want to risk, which is the reason that stops them from not making a sell and re-buy when the market turns bearish. The holding just stays idle, making a sell and buying again when the price has gone down will bring in some profit as well as help with increase the volume of holding. Same as that some used to hold unwanted coins that are no more valuable, selling those coins and buying other potential ones will bring profit. However everything has got its risks, so it is one's personal to do trading.

I have expensive lessons on this one, plenty money came out of thin air and disappeared as well. However, pulling out one coin and putting into another doesn't sound good idea either. Better to cash out in fiat, BTC and put some percent back into investment.

There are many old threads on the Bitcointalk forum from 2011.  

In one such thread, I read how one trader wrote: “Bitcoin hit $10.  My advice to you is sell bitcoins!  The price will not rise!  Personally, I sold all the coins I had."

I also read a story about how one trader sold 5,000 BTC at $4 and was glad that he made a profit as a result of this transaction.

All these stories prove that it is profitable to hold cryptocurrency. Those who tried to trade in 2011 made a profit. However, this profit is negligible compared to the increase in the price of the asset over the next 10 years.

But it makes sense to hold only such fundamental cryptocurrencies as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Monero. Over time, their price  will grow.

The main thing is to buy profitably and understand what you bought. I think that this is the key task now.

Well, I know friends who have become very fond of some coins and the truth is that they did not do very well, especially in the last distribution that was of BTC, when I told them that the market was going to fall they bought, and they bought some altcoins with the hope that at that moment the price of BTC reached $50k and they could expect a movement of at least x10 of their altcoins, and the opposite happened, it is incredible but I have 2 friends who made almost 500 thousand dollars and lost everything due to their bad investment decision, between them 2 made $1M, it was really something sad, but they didn't want to listen to me.

The market is a dynamic, and this must be clearly understood. And just from this, the trader's strategy should change very noticeably. This is just as important to be clear.

Good strategy, you've done financial management as you want. 50% of your funds are used to reserve to buy bitcoin at a lower price. Your first order must have been reached, the price of bitcoin is now down to $17,700. You just have to wait for the next drop if another drop occurs.
Hold and wait on the new ATH, of course you will get a lot of benefits. Don't panic, hold on and forget, a good strategy is long term.

For some coins, hodling until thorough your entire whole life is not even worth it and it could lead you to a potential losses, but for some particular coins it would be better to just hodl it, especially Bitcoin. Sure the price is crashing right now, but remember this event is pretty much we have experienced in other days and Bitcoin sure can recover from all of this and surge until another resistance point.

If you want to do that then sure, no one will stop you because this time is really a great opportunity to get some quick profit. But if you are not experienced on this thing then the risk might not worth it for you.

Although this seems correct at first glance, this is not the first time I have seen such people who have been holding bitcoin for several years. And frankly, I do not see any wrong actions in this.

Not all your life, of course, but what you can never do is sell in a panic. I think that moments like the current one are a lesson, to make some profit when it goes up

Well Holding a coin for 1- years I think is enough to do it. But holding it all your life is not a good idea, since the market here in the cryptocurrency is unpredictable and the price was too very volatile as well. Anyway its your choice to do it and none of us here can't stop
in your choice and decision.


That is why before you enter to this business industry you must know Himself/Herself in which trading He/She belong
is it Day traders or Long term Trader something like that.

This is the importance of making a target or setting up some goal on your investments on which panic selling is never been a good idea because selling on loss is a dumb decision but it's not bad on holding for years but if we do see some pump  then it's not bad to sell but it's up to someone since not all do share the same mindset.

That's right, sometimes we have to enjoy the work by selling coins for things that we like such as buying gadgets, vehicles or traveling, don't focus too much with cryptocurrencies, do things we like and don't hesitate to sell, the chances of drop prices can occur at any time and things This is an opportunity to buy again.

To be able to hodl is never an easy task. It could be profitable and at the same time be a disaster. Right now I'm regretting why I held on to a particular coin for too long even though it got me some profit initially. One needs to understand how to hodl works

Yes in any type of market you don't have to holds coins all your life specially crypto which has so much fluctuations that you can't handle so taking profit is a great advantage. In recent times crypto has been a new sector that's why some coins has given many time returns but now it has many crypto coming on daily basis so we can go in wrong hand any time. Take profit always

We really have to use this moment to buy and as long as there is a chance I think we need to make the most of it,
however, we need to set aside the profit from trading or investment to buy necessities,
everyone also has to manage their own finances and that's important

This has happened to me more lot of times and I have learnt from it. Some people think hodling means you won't take profit. It dosent work only that way and for this who want to increase their hodling then they need to trade the hodl buy selling when price goes high and wait patiently to rebuy when prices goes lower.

I always have a way to get my money out of a coin, no matter how long I keep it or how long it takes me to sell it because of the impending volatility of cryptocurrency, you can't hold a coin for a very long time, say like 5 years while making gains and refuse to sell because when uncertainty enters, the entire profit will be lost. No matter how the market may look like there will always come a point when everyone will be selling, and you don't want to be caught in that, regardless of the profit you made. There is nothing inherently wrong with selling off and profiting.

I've also been on it on a lot of time. I've earned massive amount of profit by being a diamond hand and also took a deep loss because of it. The thing I learned from that experience is to sell unworthy assets and keep the coins that showed it's potential to the market. Bitcoin is one of the coins that you need to focus your eye to. I've been holding some bitcoin for few years now and guess what! even if we are on the bear market, I'm still 3-4x profit on bitcoin from my buying price. This is why we should pay attention on coins we should hold and play some cryptocurrency that has some potential in trading.

This is where research and analysis would really differ into each individual since not all would really be having the same mindset on choosing on which assets should they be holding for long years and which are should

really be that easy to release or sell whenever there are some price pumps in the market.It might sounds easy but its not really that simple once you are on the situation and this had been always part of the challenges

which you could really able to experience along the way.Set particular goals or selling point on your assets as you do like and since each one of us is totally different on price target or goals.

But in fact, for many, this option is even much more convenient, because for a long time of work, the trader already knows how best to behave with this or that coin in a certain situation.

Holding should not last for too long especially for altcoins that can crash any just like the way Luna crashes and every holders was in panic. I know many of the first 10 coins that are doing well then, but now that are not even in the first 100 again because investors go for the trending crypto projects that has good chances of having good Xs to triple investment capital.

Bitcoin is the only coin I can hold for length or months or years because it has a solid foundation that can never be compared to any other project. Remember that the Crypto market has risk that needs to be taken because any profit is made.

Not hodling coin for too long should be for altcoins,  because no one can tell how reliable or how long the value of some altcoins can last in the market.  When it comes about bitcoin hodling is just only the way, we only achieve more bitcoin by hodling it for a longtime.

Yes, you are right, when we keep alternative currencies, the probability that they lose value is very high, unless it is BTC because BTC has a life of its own, now the only currency that I would want apart from all the altcoins that I say is good and is considered the second better, because the first is Bitcoin is ETH, ETH is a currency that is always at the forefront, that is, without BTC there would be no other, now in my personal opinion if I had the opportunity to invest in another than BTC, I would I would do it in ETH and in Monero, and Monero because it provides the privacy and anonymity that many seek.

I think that yes holding of coin is good strategy to get profit but if you know that the market worth is high and you have some profit then surely you should sell that coin but if you do not sell and think that it will rise in price  more than this then it will be your big mistake and you will loss this benefit too. Because it is possible that this price again become lower as the market has no guarantee that will it rise or become down. At high price sell that coin and buy some other and hold them to rise in price.

Actually there are some altcoins that are also quite good if we hold in the long term, but indeed there are very few altcoins that are good
for long term investments. It must be admitted that the majority of altcoins do not have a clear function and are only used for pump and dump.
That's why many people suggest that when investing in altcoins, sell them immediately if we already profit. Especially if for a newbie who has
less knowledge about the crypto world, it is indeed a good idea to focus on investing in Bitcoin for the long term. So far I think ETH and BNB
are very good choices for long-term investments, and don't hesitate to hold ETH and BNB in the long run. Apart from having a good team of
developers, the two altcoins I've already mentioned are extremely popular. So it is safe if we hold ETH and BNB in the long term.

I definitely agree with you it's good to take profits on the run hence you end up giving the market back the profits and I have had this experience many times trying to HODL a Particular coin on the process the market will come back to the price I got in and even go down lower. after this several experiences I had I really changed my strategy. so as trader and investors that has been in the market and have studied market behavior for quite sometime , there are signs I see in the market  then I will start taking some profits out of the market but for my Bitcoin holdings what I do is sell off only 50 of my portfolio and get ready for any dips in the market with this strategy it has really helped me to increase my Bitcoin's holdings because market always moves in circle regardless of the coin.

if we buy coins during a bear market, of course the price will be cheaper, and if in the future a bull market comes of course the price will go up, and in my opinion if there is already a profit, you should sell it, because in my opinion the investment is for profit. and we can buy again when the market is bearish.

If some coins can be bought by looking at the market condition.  Again, when the market is booming, if the coins can be sold, then profit can be made from here.  If the market is better then if the coins are bought then you will see later when the market will go down but you will lose if you can do it as you said then it looks like you can make a profit from here and if some coins can be left here for a long time in that case  It will be much better

Well, I think I won't go with what op said, it depends on the type of coin that you are holding, imagine buying bitcoin when it was trading at 50 cents, if u have a huge quantity its a coin that you will be selling little by little and worth holding for life, bnb was once trading at 30 cent, if you had invested $1k in it then that's a huge amount of money, it's also a coin worth holding for life, you just need to do research and join the next big train not all coin are worth holding for life but there are some special gems that are worth holding for life

In my opinion, if you are a trader, be it a short term trader or a long term trader, you have to be in buy and sell.  If you just hold it, it cannot be called trading. By only holding  how will the profit come from it?  But yes, in long term trading it is different, even then at a point you have to sell the coins. So I think world should be buy in bearish sell in bull

Before buying a coin, you need to estimate a target to sell that coin. Because even after holding for a long time, if the trader cannot sell at the right time, then his profitable trade may end up in loss after the end of the bull cycle. Be it short term or long term trade you must prepare in advance to sell. Because I held a coin long term and expected more profit, but due to the end of the bull cycle I suffered a huge loss on that trade.

Holds can indeed get very large profits, it is proven that Shiba Holders, Doge Holders, and several top 100 altcoin holders also have very high profits,
some even get 1000x from SHIB and DOGE hold, of course it also takes luck and analysis That's right,
because if you buy now then the risk you receive is also much greater, yes,
my advice if you want to buy altcoins and long-term hold buy altcoins that still have a low ROI

It is somewhat really need up some luck when choosing a project which we know that we cant able to tell on which one will really be making significant price movement in the future and to those who do take risk is the one who would benefit out once the market do make out a bullish run but of course it wont really be an assurance that it would really be on having that way.
Sell when you do see it is worth to sell but its true that not all would be having the patience on holding for long just to have that small amount of profits which wont really be that worth.
So its up to someone on what would be their decisions when it comes to their investment because not all would be having the same mindset and goals in mind.

It's just luck I think, There's no fundamental analysis applicable on those dog or meme coins. I'm sure that before the doge hype, No one is imagining that a zero utility meme coin would come up to an unimaginable price given that it has unlimited supply. It's a luck that the community bite the hype that Elon makes on DOGE and luckily some of the doge believers shifted into shib, It's just luck in my opinion and no fundamentals analysis required. It's also hard to make a technical analysis that can predict a 1000x up value. It's just luck in my opinion. Imagine the days that everyone are just using DOGE for giving tips because of it low value.

In order to invest, we must aim to keep the invested profit until we get a profit.If we get enough profit from the investment then we will definitely sell some of them and later feel again and decide to buy them.I have seen many people who invest and after having enough profit on that investment they don't sell it and then it goes down again and then they hold it for a long time.This does not fall into any principle of investment, if profit cannot be achieved by investing, then it is not worth investing.

Try to compound the profits you had made and secure your capital as this is my kind of way when dealing with my investment where i do sell whenever i do see its already right time on selling it out.It doesnt really needfor you to hold like forever which the potential profits that could be made is really just a fraction on the amount that you could potentially get whenever you do make active buy and sells.

Although it wont be that simple because not all would really be that good on playing with market volatility thats why they are deciding to hold instead.

Their is no need to hodl a coin all your life , the common goal to hodl a coin is to make profit while hodling . Altcoins are very risky to hodl for a very long time because of high volatility that take place.  Bitcoin is the coin I think it is worth hodling for a long term investment,  but I don't see reason why one would hodl a coin all through his/her life without spending some.

The biggest mistake we usually make is holding any coin for too long.But in the meantime, we are don't sell the tokens even if the price increases.Later it was seen that the price of those tokens began to fall.We think long time holding will increase the price, but sometimes the price increases in very short period on time but we don't see.A coin by itself will not always increase in the future, it requires a considerable amount of research.It is true that some people like to do it for a very long time. It is good to avoid risk.  So it does not always have to be kept for a specific period of time.That is normal hodl a coin is to make profit while hodlin.

It all depends on how much the target price will be achieved, if the long-term target of the coin can be achieved as soon as possible then taking profit is a wise decision. Long-term investment is not a lifetime investment, there will be a time when it all ends. a faster increase in price is a fortune and an advantage, it doesn't take much longer. Bitcoin's volatility is what makes it all happen, a big risk with a big return.

If you are going to hodl the coin until at the end of your life, then how are you supposed to even sell it once our life ends? I would prefer to just treat it as investment and then once the right time comes such as highest price at the moment(ATH) and I'd probably need the money for my family in the future, then that's my right time to do. Probably people have different opinion about this.

But if you buy a particular coin in a cheap market, you can wait until the market goes up. Especially during cheap market times if you have invested in Bitcoin or other top rank coins then you can wait for a few days and you will not lose but gain. But another thing is that some top coins like Luna got destroyed a few days ago, so it is reasonable to sell all the coins without storing them for a long time.

Of course, but that depends on the market conditions. What if the coin doesn’t grow at all? If your coin has a good growing potential, then you can hold it and sell when it is at its highest..

OP you're right, buy when there is a bear market will really help to make a passive income in the future, which many people are using this bearish season that took over early this year 2022 till now to buy and hold for bull market to come. And sell your coins when there is bullish season in the community, will really help you to make a passive incomes from your long term investments. It is favourable for someone to release his or her coins to the market whenever the bull market occur , which is a sign for traders to make a good income at the moment.

Some investors are, what should i say blind holders. They just hold a particular coin but not want to sell instead of buying. When the bearish market comes, the condition of the coin is to decrease from the buy price. As a result, that particular holder lost his assets. Of course you will hold but it must be practical. Try to grab your profit from your holding. Because buy zone will come again. It is part and parcel of cryptocurrency. It is only for altcoin holders.

That is common to those who usually listen to FUD and believe in fake news. They usually fear the bearish season and sell their holdings at a cheaper price and buy when the bull season approaches which is definitely an unprofitable strategy. We should know when to sell and when to hold by simply setting a target selling goal so we'll know when to stop holding. We should plan ahead and always follow our target goal.

Storing all the coins in the cryptocurrency market will expose you to huge losses. But there are some coins that you can save as long term investment coins. But it is good to remember that no coin is guaranteed in the currency market, any coin can be dumped at any time. So it is better if you do not store any coins for a long time and sell them after understanding the market conditions.

True! We don’t know if the price of the coin will increase in the future. People make mistakes by holding coins for too long. Some coins began to fall and didn't rise again. So, traders should be careful and invest with proper analysis.

To be honest, that depends on the coin's future prospect. Coins for short-term hold are more susceptible to the current news or some might consider it as FUD. Top coins that for the long-term hold would do better against the market trend, or ongoing news that bleak the whole market. Setting a target price as a selling goal does not always work for short-term coins. They have a very short lifetime so if you missed a certain timeline, you're done.

There are indeed projects or coins which would really be worth on holding for long term and there are coins which would really be worth on selling out on early phase or time which
its up to someone whether they would really be making out immediate action or would really be waiting up for the right opportunity to get in because not all would really be having
the knowledge and skills when it comes to this one.It is true that we all do hope and wish for making income or profits whether going for short term or long term aspect because
this is what we do try to achieve out.Its up to someones decisions whether they would really be making out such step or action or not.

Yes. Cryptocurrencies rise and fall. And there are many coins that rise but fall and never rise back. So, you need to be careful where you put your money. Do not invest money blindlessly.

I agree with you.  If we buy a coin and wait for a long time then it will not make any profit.  We have to trade short term for profit.  Then we will gain more.  If we buy some coins at a low price and sell them at a high price, we will make a profit.  If we continue like this, we will never lose.  I think everything you said is correct.  For that we have to buy the coins with a bit of intelligence.  Then we will never have to drink the wine of loss.

You are correct, it is just like physical business. If you buy a goods and leave it in your shop for a very long time, waiting for a buyer with high price, you might not see your goods. But if you buy, sell with little profit, buy again and sell. Continue this way and you will be surprised what your accumulated profit will be. A trader should buy and sell while a hodler should hold for long. The person holding for long should also know the kind of coins he is holding for long. Hold only trusted coins

You wouldnt really be that dumb on not to set out those particular sell level or prices where you would really be considering on selling those bags.If you are a type of investor who do really much prefer on seeing

profits in a short time then it is really normal that you would really be setting out those target prices and whenever the market do hits up that point then it would really be on your decisions on what you should

gonna do.If you do really make hold of coins which you do believe that it does have potential then it is your choice but be sure that you are fully aware when it comes to certain risk and mind off whether it would really be worthy on doing so or it is much better on making some snipping of profits on shorter time.

Holding a particular coin for you entire life depends on you, if you are making profit from a particular coin I don't think their is any problem in that,but having many coins is good because if one is dumping the other ones maybe pumping. I don't seeing you holding one coin for your entire as bad thing, all you need is profit.

If we look at this, we will see that there are many coins that have a very high initial high and then a lot of lows, but I think it would be better to stay away from these bad guys because of this.

Right,  Actually holding depend on how the project is strong or not. If project team is strong and vision is to improve the project it is better to hold. 1bnb was 1$ now it is 300$.

After buying a crypto coin, it is always held. And holding means that whenever the price of that coin goes up, everyone has a specific target in mind where to sell it.Most of the people sell the coin when they get a reasonable profit. But some people wait for its price to increase further. Most of the people keep the coin for the sake of high profit and do not sell even at a good profit. Solana's price has touched 261 dollars.Now the one who did not sell in 261usdt and started waiting for more profits, this decision proved to be harmful for him. Now it is back to 30 dollars.Coins are always taken to earn profit and not to keep the coins for life.Always love your profit.Coins come and go. Our goal is only profit. Coins should always be sold at a reasonable profit. Holding a coin for life can be a very bad decision.

Wisely said, I've held up on some coins more than I supposed and yes I've paid dearly for them. And I think it all depends on one's level in a business. It's not a mistake to make a mistake, but it's a great mistake to repeat a mistake. So every businessman or businesswoman needs to be clever in his or her business.

Mistakes are something that cant really be avoided no matter how good or professional you are on a certain career or investment which it would be always a part and this is something that you do need to learn up
at least on what are the things that do happen around and try yourself to familiarize and be aware so that in next time you would really know on what you should gonna do and not on making actions without
having any basis.
As time goes by and as many hours you've been able to acquire in terms of experience then you are really that molding yourself to be much better investor.You'll soon realize on whats those wise
decisions to be made and whats not.

Yes, this is the best strategy many crypto investors used to make something good from their investments. Buy when the price is low in the market and hold for like two or three years before you can sell to make a huge amount of profit at the end of the investment. Now that we are still in the bearish market, it will be favourable for investors to use this opportunity to buy coins and hold until the bullish market takeover before they can sell to smile in the community.

We have a different view of trading crypto, some people think that holding some coins has a greater chance of profit if they are held a little longer, it has happened to users holding doge meme coins, but not a few have had bad luck on certain coins.

My understanding and experience in crypto trading, the right choice is made on Bitcoin, who is sure Bitcoin has price movements every minute and hour, Of course I'm not talking about margin trading, Futures, I'm talking about Spot, if you understand market movements I think Bitcoin trading is more efficient than anything else, just watching when it goes down and up a few percent, I rate Bitcoin's current trading is perfect compared to other types of coins, for now.

The strategy is long term means that Bitcoin is better and don't shitcoin it is a better prospect even with the next 2-3 years I think this is the right moment to buy more Bitcoin for me this is already the lowest price even though we don't know how much that dump will happen but make sure the current situation takes advantage of the purchases we can afford to start profiting in the future.

Bullish will definitely come and bearish will end soon so don't ever regret before it's too late for an increase if this happens, I think this is something easy but difficult to do, the most important thing is that the capital is ready to start.

Those who persist in such misconceptions lose most of the time. It should be sold if it is 15-20 percent more than your invested amount. I have seen many people who got double their invested money and held on to it and in turn lost a lot of money. One should never be greedy in cryptocurrency. Despite of having profit, greed also leads to loss of money which is very painful.

It’s not good to focus on many project since some have already proven to go away after they succeeded. There are plenty of ICO projects in the past that been successful but end up to be a scam or have issues whenever the market is in bear and not able to recover. It’s better to invest in BTC and some top altcoin than to waste time in projects that didn’t guarantee to last longer. So whenever there is a hype in a new project and experience already some profit better get it while we can and don’t be trap in that coin. Sell as long as we can get profit then just buy back once it recovers.

Yes its a fact many big investors dont understand the mean why they are in this foeld they are in this field for profit not for the network stability , there are so many peoples that buy bitcoin and transfer these in their wallet they hold their coins and named them life saving used for bright future , Friends this is your time if you not gaining any profit and holding any project coins thats mean you make your money dead ,
In my stretegy i take profits in different stages if i think this is a decent profit i sell 25% of coins at profit if coin make a higher move then i take another 50% profit and  i hold only 25% for next move and remember if you dont sell coins this will not make your portfolio greater .
With this strategy you have some money for any chance of higher dump to buy and average out your buying remember dont buy any coin at one price buy in parts . THANKS

investing in bitcoin for the long term as well as the short term is equally profitable. buy BTC for the short term sell when it doubles and buy again at a low price. and buying BTC for the long term regardless of the doubling in price will not sell unless they reach their desired target. i call it not greedy but it really is a way of long term investment.
and talking about greed leading to money loss, to me that would never happen for a long term investment in bitcoin. look at the bitcoin price journey from the past to the present it has never betrayed its investors unlike other coins which are just hit and run

There are people who in particular keep some altcoins, I don't know, maybe because they like them, because they love technology and for them it represents something much more than apparent money, and that's respectable, in fact when Bitcoin was created there were many enthusiasts who they are like that and even like that, obviously there are many who are millionaires and who see bitcoin that way, I think that is one of the things that most impresses me that people have, that there are still many like that, however I think that now everything has gone because of market speculation, since there is a lot of money there and now the world is very interested in continuing to have money and money.

Its not always on making profits or money.Sounds weird or odd? There are indeed people who do really hold a particular coin just to show up some support on its tech or utility.
They dont really mind nor think about its value as long they've been holding it, then that what matter the most.Well, its our money then its our full rights on what we should gonna do about it,
or things that we bought.Majority of people on here would really be going after for profits and this is where it do differs since there are ones who do prefer on long term
and there are ones who do prefer on doing in shorter terms.
