HODL bitcoin? why and why not?

Do so, because trading in the short term is random and everyone makes less money trading than holding in the long run. Technical Analysis of charts does not affect future outcomes, because game theory makes you indifferent from buying or selling in the short term. If you invest do so in the long term. You can do short term buying and selling if you believe the underlying is worth a certain price and the actual price is above or below that number. I guess that is considered trading too, but what most people do with trading is going to cost them money because they overcomplicate things.

If you are bearish on Bitcoin then obviously you shouldn't invest in it. Bitcoin faces many threats. Government intervention and Bitcoin developers not delivering scalability solutions.

People on here often say that the government can't stop Bitcoin, but they don't really understand how the world works.

Hold because of we believer in the power and potential of bitcoin because it serves as a currency for us in the internet world now. It also gives us superficial benefits in terms of investments and opportunity for people to develop not just on financial but also mentally. Also we know that the demand of bitcoin is tending to increase more and more because the public and media are getting hyped up by it now.

Hold because in the end of 2018, we might see bitcoin hitting $50k. The way it's going up.. i am pretty sure about it.

For me HODL because there is a big chance that the price will continue to fligh high. I know now the price is already 10k usd but i am sure it will continue to rise for as long as people still continue to hold their btc. The supply is low and the demand is high so the price is high.

Hodl of course. Especially if you're just a starter. If you can wait a few years, you'll enjoy the profit. But if you're an early adopter, you deserve to get your profit today. You already waited for long and endured the rollercoaster ride of bitcoin. Cheers.

Yes I hodl mine Bitcoin. because I knew Bitcoin price go up . Government take action to
legalized Bitcoin. If bitcoin was legalized
in every country then more people
know about Bitcoin and then more Bitcoin rising like a shine.

I think holding bitcoin is best idea because bitcoin value is increasing day by day many pesone was sell bitcoin in 2013 or 2015 and thay are shocked today. if i have very urgent required to money then i think to sell bitcoin otherwise i don't think to sell bitcoin.

HODL it means you believe the potential of bitcoin in the future.
You believe that bitcoin investment will be profitable
if you love money and want to be rich, why not invest bitcoin?

hold you bitcoin tightly because it more potential to grow.it will go 20000 usd in next year starting.so its time to buy and hold.its not for sale till now

It's easy to think you can beat the market, but timing and correctly trading price corrections is easier said than done. Often times, you'll just be selling the consolidation before new highs. The same goes for crashes: many people sell when it's most painful, right near the bottom. It's important to resist the urge to sell during these "capitulations." Because there's a good chance you'll lose coins in the process.

Long term, it's becoming clear that Bitcoin is here to stay. It's becoming economically relevant. Seeing the 2013 and 2017 cycles play out have me convinced that we won't see prices below $5,000 or possibly even $7,500 again. We're getting to the point where most of the world is getting priced out of owning a single Bitcoin!

For me its hold because bitcoin is everyday increase the price and as long as you have no good reason to sell your bitcoin just hold it until bitcoin price is not decrease.

Yeah the holders of course are already optimistic about the profits that will be gained in predicting prices that will continue to increase over time and gain a high profit when to selling it.
And why not, if we have the enough balance to invest.. we doing investing for a certain term. It's been promising that the investment in bitcoin so far has paid off well because the price is likely continue leads to increase.
And I'm sure the chances of investing in bitcoin are still wide open nowadays to gain profit at a certain time for the next.

I mean it really matters on how you are as an investor and the amount of risk that you're ok with putting yourself out for. If you're fine with losing some (holding through it) and then MAYBE making some more money out of this entire deal, then so be it. As in a volatile market (as Bitcoin is) we could see huge shifts and you may panic sell, which will hurt you in the long run.

Plus the fact that we don't now if this is the ATH and we're just going to go down a slippery slope, who knows what's going to happen next -- as this is unchartered territory. Though most on here will say to HODL, I can't agree  I think we're in a bubble.

The better option of these two is to hodl it. It may me mighty tempting to sell your bitcoins right now, but given current tendencies in the exchange rate for bitcoin to US dollars we might be seeing a really big jump in 2018, that's already less than a month away, remember.

Bitcoin is made to be a currency not an investment asset that you will buy for low and sell for high, so unleast use it occasionally as what it is meant to be. People are greedy and when X price goes up to Y, people will hold it until the Z price and so on, and so on...

Yes HOLD Bitcoin, if you want to hold just hold! There's no definite reason that you must hold but if you are a person that is valuing your future, take time to study that when you hold today and the price surges up to $100,000 and you had enough during these times then congratulations.

You must not hold? Why? It's up to you, if you don't want to hold just sell with the current price it is still profit.

The better you gonna do right now with your bitcoin is hold it, because for sure the price will increase more and if you will earn more prodit if that happen. But if you sell today is your choice because your money is safe incase the price will decrease but if the price will increase you lose some opportunity to earn more profit in the future. But if you undecided until now sell half hold half of your bitcoin.

HODL = expecting something big in returm in terms of long term holding. Bitcoin is expecting to give more price increase in the future so you can take this reason to do holding.

Why not HODL = if you used your bitcoins regularly then even you like to hold it, you have no choice but to used it on your own purposes.

Why not try to find it out for yourself if what is a reasonable thing to do, to HODL or not to HODL.

The only reason against holding could be if bitcoin disappeared but that possibility is looking very remote at the moment so while the price can move very fast you can protect yourself from all of that by just holding, that is why holding is one of the most favorite strategies in the forum.

Bitcoin is very good to stored our value rather than become the multifunctional crypto because the bitcoin less on its scalability. hold bitcoin because it deserve the real value of the crypto because anothyer crypto pegged on the bitcoin as the main pair to give the real value to another cryptocurrency. Another bad thing about the bitcoin scalability problem.

As this time, it will be smarter to hold as much as you can. The price of bitcoin will continue to rise and it will rise more especially now that establishments or some businesses are planning to implement bitcoin and accept it as payment. I am sure that after implementing it more people will recognized bitcoin, this way more people will be investing in bitcoin.

holding bitcoins or any cryptocurriencies is not really a smart move due to their unstable value. you cant predict whether it will still  rise or fall therfor i think that it is much better if we can secure their value immediately just by converting them into a fiat or a local currency whenever you see a signifant increase in the price. you can still save and hold that cash without taking the risk of volatility and unexpected price fluctutions. we can also protect and safeguard our earnings if something bad will happen to bitcoin because some news are stating that bitcoin is now  in a bubble phase and will never know if it will soon pop and dissapear instantly, so better safe than sorry.

Holding bitcoin is all about trust. People who doesn't have the real understanding will not prefer to hold. As there is nothing certain about the future, people fear of investing or buying the bitcoin. This is the reason for why doesn't need to hold bitcoin and the reason for holding is purely on expectations of profit which is purely dependent on trust.

It is predicted almost by all major traders that bitcoin appears to surpass $15,000-$20,000 in starting months of coming year.
If we watch current fluctuation in bitcoin market, it clearly insinuates about large increase in price
So, holding bitcoin for now can earn you a lot of profits for sure, holding crypto assets was always good strategy of investment

1.If you believe that Bitcoin is the big thing which will conquer the world an used by at least hundreds of millions of people and therefore will much more gain in value for many more years, then HODL!
2.If you think this is not not the case and just a temporary upwards move ending with a blow-off top which will bring us another bear market of several years where 95% of the just build ecosystem gets erased forever, then do not hodl and take your profits.
Your choice! ;)

Always do your own analysis!!
Other traders or investors may tell you whatever you want to hear just to have the possibility to dump all their coins on you in the right moment for some huge profits before they buy back later all the bags from you for a much more cheaper price.
Trust nobody!!!

Always and dont use or sell your bitcoin, in the next following years bitcoin will increase its value drastically and you will have more profit.
Im just keeping my bitcoin and not using them to any sort of transaction with this i can have a better future when i retire.

Long hold is risky . for me i prefer to play in safe side.

short hold and  using altcoins.

 

It’s very important to hold bitcoin because if you buy bitcoin with low price then you have to keep it on hold because price really matter here and you need to wait for a right time when the price go high then you need can sell bitcoin because if you will sell bitcoin straight on next day then I don’t think so you can take your profit so yes hold is very important of bitcoin and that’s the reason that people are going to hold bitcoin.

You hold the bitcoin it will helpful to future growth and gather more information. Bitcoin is change the prices day by day so it will hold the bitcoin on time. So you will gather information to the bitcoin price list. It will help to plan to work and process. You will learn the bitcoin process. If hold the bitcoin it will help to improve your business process and future investment.

It is the best way today to earn simply holding Bitcoins. Just do not follow provocations when Bitcoin starts to follow. This crypto will grow, thus I hold BTC.

we need to hold bitcoin in the long run. but for short term i think the top is already here @ 15k dollars

how do you say so that bitcoin will increase more and it is a good investment plan?

Why:
1. Security - not losing your coins to a mistake, a hack, an exchange, a government, etc.
2. The safest long term plan if you truly believe bitcoin is going to $1M or whatever
3. Tax reasons

Why not:
1. You're a bear, or
2. You cant stand to temporarily be down 80%, or
3. You want to try to daytard, or
4. You dont want to have to have inactive money for a number of months or years while btc goes sideways and would rather use the cash on other trades that are going up more rapidly, or
5. You need to buy a car, house, hookers, coke, etc.

dont expect to much mate. Much better to wait after end of 2017 before you jump to 2018 .we need to focus on this scenario  cause bitcoin is now on the moon.  There's a chance that bitcoin will fall after it hits the 20k value. We need to wait the result after year end. Rather than expecting to much .

Before, HODL or Holding is suppose to be a long term investment, where you will buy coins at a lower price and hold coins until prices goes up. But, with the BTC price moving up faster than ever, Holding is now considered as short-term. And at this point, its still the best and safest way to invest rather than any other crypto investment out there. I'm not saying that you should put all your money in, invest what you can afford to lose, just allocate a little percentage of your paycheck to your bitcoin wallet which might accumulate over a period of time, if you save religiously.

The point here is that, you should be wise enough to know when to hold and sell your bitcoin given a specific time. Knowing this gives you a huge chance at maximizing your profit when selling bitcoin. Technically speaking, it is good to hold on bitcoin if you are unsure on what will unfold to bitcoin's price but if you are brave enough to take the risk so that you will earn faster in bitcoin, take the chance and see what happens.

Holding gives opportunity for every investors for more growth of profit. There is a chance that bitcoin price will still to continue to increase the reason why need to study the market first before doing some trading because there are times that it is more profitable for the long term that short term but after trading you can still hodl it.

i think at this price It is difficult to hold  bitcoin
Perhaps he will sweat sooner or later
hold in this degree or in this level is not good

It may be back to 10 k

Of course that seems to be the most convenient option in these times of great volatility, because even if the bitcoin suffered a sharp correction in coming days, the price increase has been so great that we would certainly close the year with big profits. However, given the great news that bitcoin is making a world mainstream, it seems to me that there is a greater possibility that the price will continue to climb towards the threshold of $ 20,000 before going back to $ 10,000, so holding seems the best decision.

However, it would not be a bad idea to cash out a bit of your bitcoins to have some liquidity these days of uncertainty.

I've been holding bitcoins for several months and I understand that this is the right strategy. If I continue to hold, then my income will increase several times. This is the main incentive for not selling coins now

Hold because this is a contributor in the increase of Bitcoin's price. It contributes in the scarcity of Bitcoin in the market that plays a major role in its current price. Holding Bitcoin is the most convenient way to earn in the long run. This is very advisable to those who does not know how to trade effectively. By holding, a person could earn just by waiting until the price increases and not taking risks of continuous selling and buying a.k.a trading.

Holding would be a better option. The market price and charts speaks for itself. Why wouldn't you want to hold your bitcoin and make passive income with the rise of the price of bitcoin?
Selling bitcoin or cashing it out for fiat means your loss of opportunity.

HODL means Hold On for Dear Life but the current market position puts the holders in dilemma to wait for price to rise more or sell before the bubble bursts. Bitcoin has reached beyond everyone exception, Seriously who would have though that Bitcoin could shoot up to $16,000 in really 2-3 months. Bitcoin faced many challenges and threats on its journey and now it stands with such a growth that everyone is worried about its bursting. According to me the choice is your as no one can give you the proper estimation of price. Bitcoin may touch $30,000 or may explode nothing is assured.

Long time bitcoin holders have their strategies to hold their btc for a long period of time because they believe in bitcoin to change their life through times.Its price now has truly fluctuated to almost $19000,for long time holders that buy bitcoin in  the most cheaper price already seen the perfect time for exchange in fiat..but i think that doesnt come up with those holders to sell their btc because bitcoins price continue to rise without any corrections for the past few days.. its price has surpass everyones speculations this year and still continue to rise.

Hold or not it's all depend on the trader themself.
for me it would be better for you to hold it as much as you can until it get listed on CME group's future in the next few days later,
and sell it a day or two before the listing because whenever we're reaching the news mass dump will happen just like before.
but it does not matter if you keep holding it if you only want to hold it for a long time (approx for more than 5 years no less than that).
because everything can be happen with it,we may be can see the dump or we may be not.
lately we heard a lot of positive feedback from people around the world,
like regulated exchanges in japanese,listing on CME group's and many more in the next few months.

do not hold Bitcoin if you do not have a financial back up,
because with it you can lose all of your money and of course it will affect your real life so bad.

The government cannot stop bitcoin but they can slow adoption, they could ban it, regulate it to death, try to block traffic to sites like this one, that will kill the desire of any wall street wolf to get some bitcoin but it seems most governments are not going that route and think they can get something out of bitcoin.

Yes HODL bitcoin of course, who wouldn't hold bitcoin when its price is almost constantly increasing. If you want more profits though then this'd be the best coin to invest in.

Holding always give you more profit.A week ago the of bitcoin is struggle to reach 12000$,now it crossed 16,000$.All the holders will double the profit and this is the power of holding.In holding you get more dollar for same holding bitcoin.

No doubt bitcoin must hold with the price that sure to increase so most users holding bitcoin. Yes the best to invest is bitcoin as this already been noticed by many nationwide because of the value of bitcoin. Why not to hold? If profit will earn even holding as long term.

Governments look for control and to collect tax from their beloved citizens. Control and making people pay tax are things they can somewhat gain by regulating this market in their advantage (not the extreme route).

Coinbase has been a perfect example of how a government can demand all kinds of user data from whatever service. If you have paid your tax, no worries, but if not, you'll be up for severe penalties.

And of course there will always be governments looking to use the banhammer for everything they see as a potential threat to their corrupt system. People however will always be able to buy and use Bitcoin, nothing can stop them.

If you have nothing to lose then why not just HODL and see where it leads. If you have already got even with what you had invested, given the current price anyone who had invested in last year or before would had easily got even so far. So why not hold and see if you become millionaire or just profit $1000 at the end of the day.

hodl bitcoin. as of the momment the price of bitcoin is going straight up and if you converted your bitcoin last month to fiat money then you are regreting like me. the btc value is much greater than the fiat value when i converted.

Well some people are afraid to continue holding their bitcoin. As we know, the price of bitcoin might crash any minute or any time and of course no one knows when it really is. Holding bitcoin is really risky because bitcoin might disappear someday and also the fact that many people are trying to steal from others because bitcoin is really a good asset. I know some people who have been holding and have not been selling that much since the day they have started earning and for sure she have already made a fortune. Despite these risks many people still choose to hold because bitcoin have really made a huge growth and it looks that it will still grow.

I think that holding bitcoin depends on the financial needs of a person. If a person don't have that much or have someone to depend to for his financial support then if course, his earnings will mostly be saved but if he is the kind of person who has financial responsibilities, holding can't be fully done because there will always be a need for selling.

Holding bitcoin is really taking risks and we should think of a greater profit that we can earned. I've experience this also converting my btc to fiat and just late realized that I should hold bitcoin the price right now is so high. However, holding bitcoin may lead us for a better future in cryptoworld.

In many cases you have to decide things by your own. For some people holding till the time of CME group listing will be beneficial while for some after it and may be before it.
There is something that we miss when we get into the bitcoin BTC price value discussion and it is out objective and targets from the BTC. If the time has reached that my target has achieved in a manner that holding BTC is not a priority any more, I will definitely go for a sale. We are actually prioritising things sometimes money matters while sometimes it don't.   

Don't question if we are going to hold bitcoin, just keep on holding if you want to have a better and bright future. Everyone has been holding their bitcoins though there are some that are still kicking and giving themselves a break for selling it into cash and treating. Hold bitcoin because there will be more of it and you just have to be patient.

to hold bitcoin is a very wise decision, why? because it can cause of price hike, many newbie people in crypto are getting panic when the price of this bitcoin decrease and they are simultaneously selling their bitcoin that can cause of price drops. so why not to hold your bitcoin for long period of time to see how many profits that you can get by holding your bitcoin.

Holding bitcoin had been very beneficial and profitable for us who have been saving since we started earning here. I started when bitcoin was less than $1 000 and look at the price now. I had sold so many bitcoin before because of financial needs and I do regret selling because if I have hold it, I could have earn more. Good thing, I still have bitcoin left in my wallet to hold. Holding may be risky but this is how it works here and between crypto currencies. Anyways, it looks like that bitcoin will continue to rise so it is a good opportunity to hold now, hold as long as you can because the higher the price of bitcoin will be, the more people will be interested in it.

About the panic selling, as a newbie trader once, it is really alarming when you are just starting and is really hoping to earn and then bitcoin suddenly goes down. SO before the price really goes down, they will sell hoping that they will still be able to earn a profit.

For me with this increasing graph of bitcoin's price, i think it is better to just hold and wait for the right time. It is a good idea to hold for a greater income of investments.

We should HOLD bitcoin rather than to sell even if the market value is already exoensive because as the demand is increasing, chances are high that same thing will happen with Bitcoin's market value so it is exoected to be more expensiv3 in the future and obviously, holding will be advantageous than to sell at this moment.

The answer primarily depends on your goal as an investor whether for short or long term. Each option has its own implications and effects and you might want to consider it first before making a decision. Here are some of the pros and cons of having to hold it for short/long term:

Short-term investments - Generally, new investors tend to invest their bitcoins in a short term basis since they want to realize profits faster. As compared to long-term investments, it is much safer due to the fact that it requires less time but also expect to have low profits at the end of the day. Though one might argue that bitcoin prices may suddenly skyrocket, you still have the choice on whether to withdraw it or not.

Long-term investments - This type of investment requires time and dedication as you are saving it for future use. People who generally invest bitcoin for long-term tend to realize huge amounts of profits since they take advantage of the time by maturing their coins. The only risk that you might want to consider is the dropping of bitcoin prices as it may happen without sudden notice.

Be reminded that investing your bitcoins is a high-risk, high-reward system. The value of your investment primarily lies on the price of bitcoin and there is no guarantee that you may collect profit. But by just looking at the price history index, one might observe that there has been a steady increase on the price of bitcoins over the past years. So I really do suggest that you invest right now and hope for the best.

PS: Only invest money that you are willing to lose.

It's hard to believe but holding bitcoin is one of the best way to earn a lot of profit. Since bitcoin value now is continues increasing I guess we have no other option. Savings and holding bitcoin was depending to the owners and I think more them are expecting that bitcoin price were growing up more, so they still holding it in the future.

People buy bitcoin because they want to make some profit.
So, buying and holding bitcoin is the key because the longer you hold your bitcoins the more profit you can make.

To hold bitcoin it’s very important for investor because he invest his money to earn from it and if will not keep on hold bitcoin then it’s useless for him and I think it’s a right decision to keep on hold bitcoin and the question why to keep it on hold the answer is if someone want to buy bitcoin so definitely he will buy when the price is low and then foe sure he will wait for right time when the price go high then he will sell it out.

it will completely correct when that price Bitcoin will increase over time. and I also believe that the price will still rise up

Holding is always greater on bitcoin. Since now the price of bitcoin is recurring now,you can hold the bitcoin .Bitcoin had a power to get back his strength. Nos the price of bitcoin crossed 15400$ and then miles to go on.The price will move to 20,000$ ,you can sell the bitcoin at that time.

Holding is the better option you have at this current period. We are all waiting for the next pump of bitcoin. Lots of people expect a pump by Christmas and it is expected to reach 18k in 2018.
Unless it's an emergency and you need money, do not sell your bitcoin now. If you're worried about a drop or a correction, there is nothing to worry about it's not happening now or at least that's what we all expect.

Holding is the best.
It's the essential secret rule for cryptocurrency trading  if you want to make your gain in a much bigger way. And when you hold, hold for considerable long time,
But bear in mind that any money you are willingly to put in it, should be money that you wouldn't be needing any time sooner.
And also bear in mind that there is always a tendency of lossing too cause you never can tell what might happen next.

Hold.

Why? Supply and demand.

It would be better to hold bitcoins.$17,000 is really such a tempting price so that most would be deciding to sell it.But they should realize that CME ,CBOE have not yet released bitcoin futures yet and its already this ATH price now and after they issue bitcoin futures,BTC price would be even more high.So,it would be best to avoid regretting by selling now and just hold it for some more time.

When you are looking for long term investment, bitcoin will be a good pick and hodling it for just several weeks or a month will still result in some profits because of its daily upsurge of prices. The outcome of bitcoin future first day of trading proved that bitcoin continue will to go up as demand for bitcoin rise up more. 

Since bitcoin value for now is unpredictable fluctuation, I think it's better to hold it for the meantime, because I'm sure that when bitcoin price is become stable they will simply increasing their value slowly but surely.

Otherwise more people now are standing by because they were expecting much higher value of bitcoin in the market this coming last week of the year. As per speculation of some analyst bitcoin price will reach $20K but in my speculation bitcoin value will touch $20K on 2018.

Holding bitcoin is a good practice of patience. While you are holding your bitcoin there is another thing that you are doing and that is to be patient for better profit to come in the future.

As a long term holder, there will be a lot of challenges that you can come up with. Like witnessing it's growth and at also the falling of bitcoin.

It will teach you become stronger too.

Sure, one way to make it in the long run is patience. There could be some rough times, but it is better to even see them as stepping stone to greatness for bitcoin. Every investment may come with a risk and that is understandable but with bitcoin and most of the things that has been going on, I won't want to in anyway sell my bitcoin for anything. Give me at a far lesser value and then I will buy more.

You should hold on to your bitcoin because if you are short term then you will probably gain a less or small amount of profit that you can gain if you are a long term. So i suggest that you should just hold on to your bitcoin.

I keep my bitcoins as a Deposit. They bring a good income and I do not understand why now keep their savings in banks. Everyone should have savings for a rainy day. Better to keep them in bitcoins. You are not bound to additional obligations and may at any time to use their savings. Bitcoin is the best investment for today.

If you have excess money than its easy to keep continuing hold because even it falls you can hold it for longer term. But if you have an average earning then its always recommended to keep drawing some profits on every high. And when the falls comes you can buy back and continue this way to get profits out of the coin.

I have some personal opinions for why and why not hold it. There are only my personal opinions, but they work for me.

Why to hold:

-Advantage of making great profits.
-Advantage of free money transfers to anybody you like.

Why not hold:

-Requires high amount of money.
-Excessive volatility.

I hold bitcoin because i know it will increase. Technology and future money is already here. so i just buy and hold no need to think short term, i always think long term for bitcoin.. i'm not gonna sell anything till 2019

Yeah, for those who have been here earlier and still earning or buying and then holding, I am sure they must have attested to the fact that holding seems to be a more interesting thing to do than to be panicking and allowing some whales to spread FUD to their own advantage.

So far everything is fine, it is so glaring that someone who has been doing pretty well from the onset would have been able to store up something tangible that would have increased hugely in price over time and who knows, for those here now, anything is still very much possible.

Yes bitcoin has a great potential to increase higher than the price now. So with that I believe that you must hold your bitcoin no matter how risky it is because anytime it will dump but it will definitely increase. Holding bitcoin shows how patience you are and you faith that bitcoin will increase

People who think to hold bitcoin in the long run might not always profit as there is always a chance for the price of bitcoin to drop a huge amount overnight, the way to profit is to grab the opportunity to sell at a high rate and purchase more bitcoin for holding during a price dip.

I will hodl bitcoin because I know the price will be increased for a long term and although I don't know how much the highest price of bitcoin, I will still hodl my bitcoin for a long term and I hope I can give my bitcoin to my children. I don't think that there is any reason for us to not hodl bitcoin unless we don't trust bitcoin. I believe with bitcoin and I am sure that I can make some money from bitcoin and this is why I still trying to earn more bitcoin.

I believe that it is a better idea to hold than to sell. Why? because the market value of bitcoin is exo3cted to be more expensive in the future since the demand from the market is getting higher as more people are getting interested to bitcoin. Huge profit will be esrned in the future as its price increases, and i think it is an enough reason to hold.

I don't find much flaws or negativity on holding bitcoin. When we go through the growth history we can understand the goodness of holding.

Allot of bitcoin user here are saying holding bitcoin is better for long term profit,
not holding bitcoin means you spend them so their is no profit to look for coming in.
You can try lending out bitcoin for profit as well.

I will hold bitcoin because it is the shortest path to success. Money is not easy to earn, with bitcoin just saving its value will increase over time.

Hodl because bitcoin price could be double again by next year. I guess what bitcoin price stand on market currently is not just a mere speculation by whales but a result of more and more people being aware on the existence of bitcoin and investing on it.

I agree. It really safe holding btc. The shifting of price is really amazing. The price of bitcoin at the start of 2017 is pretty low but the end only proves that bitcoin is really unstoppable. You will never regret your investment.

Holding has really proven to be more effective than selling.  For those who were even having a hard time saving when the traditional system was in place will even have a better reason to even save more now, knowing that we have arrived in a market where things are getting even better and you can save up the little that you have and see it increasing hugely in the future. How better can it be?

There is even nothing hard to believe there. It is either you hold or you sell and whichever one, the price will end up increasing anyway. So in that case, it is just the best option to hold irrespective of what happens and for those who may see panicking as the best option to sell, I would rather use that as a best option to buy up more and make profit.

In fact, that is a good enough reason to make sure that one does not make the mistake of panicking. I am not sure what the market is going to be like now with the introduction of the CME futures, but the activity itself does not affect the growth of bitcoin and even if any of these guys want to manipulate the market, they will only end up getting what they ask for which is a whole new game entirely.

Every day you work and you get a certain salary every month. But it does not happen one day. It rises differently every day and it falls in a different way. It means that you have two people working and you can bring the total of 2 months salary that they bring to you in one day. so it is not a big enough reason to hold in your hands to invest in something with such a big profit margin.

I will hold my bitcoin because I want to earn more money. It is a very simple way but it is very effective. It is also an easy way yet risky because we are not sure up to when bitcoin price will pump. If it drops I just tell myself “it is not always drop, it will also pump”. Maybe it takes time but I don’t mind waiting.
The only reason I will not hold my bitcoin is because I need a money to spend. Like in this month it is Christmas and I want to give gifts to my family and of course for myself so I withdraw. But I did not withdraw it all. I just took some bitcoin in my wallet. I will continue holding the rest.

yes hold bitcoin not to sell because the growth rate of bitcoin nowadays still increasing so fast. And as i see bitcoin successfully surge 16k perhaps it will continue to climb before year end . Those bitcoin holders who sell their bitcoin because of their doubts will now see the results. Lol and our profit still growing because we believe on bitcoin abilities. So i suggest Mate remove your doubts and don't eagerly sell relax and believe in bitcoin that you can achieve your goals or target price.

Yes now we are very close to touch the price of $18k which is likely to achieve in next couple of days so keep on holding your coins as there is now no doubt that it can even achieve the price of $20k by the end of the year so if you sell now then you will regret when you will see much higher price in future so to make higher profits you should hold it longer and not sell it right now.

HODL it why? Cause you wont know unless you try. Bitcoin doesnt have much risk to begin with you just need to have the patience and endure all that intimidations youre dealing with. Be responsible for what have you done.

Hold if you are too busy to pay attention to possible peaks but its also quite feasible to sell on near highs and buy into dips and still be within a bullish trend.   The reason not to hold is the gains from trading are quite alot more then just blind holding and the market is such that volatility does not make rebuying a rare occurance.  Its more a case of will you have the guts to buy into the low price when everone is fearful

It makes more sense to rebuy but some find themselves better off just looking away and not paying attention they are less likely to become fearful and miss out on gains.  I guess that makes sense but only with money you dont need ie. literally forget

My rough estimate for a sell off now would be $11,441   but appraise that at the time and usually there is time to buy on the return to a positive gain.    Right now I would not sell above $15,000 as this is a point of strength generally but its all open to interpretation.   This market is very liquid at centralised exchanges but I dont like how fees are so high preventing normal transfers between individual wallet holders.  

   Strength will always be in the longterm diversified network, thats the backbone the rest is flabby fat no wonder we wobble so much  :P

Holding is not only easier, holding can give more profits than active trading, many people claim that you can make more money with trading and while that is true, how many people are able to make more money than those that hold, not many and this is why I like holding better than active trading.

Active trading are for those people who has a lot of time looking at the changes in the market and has a lot of knowledge, of course you dont have so many time to spend in trading the best option for you is to hold.

Yeah that's why holding is much more safe than anything especially if you don't wanna take any risk. I'm sure that many had proven that holding is profitable and it's for real and with its uptrend position no wonder many caught their attention and desperate to own some. Just buy bitcoin and get back to it after a year and see how it grows.

I think it’s very important to keep on hold bitcoin because there are two things which are very important for bitcoin first one is time and second one is hold if you are investor so you have to be very careful about these two things because bitcoin don’t accept carelessness so when you buy bitcoin with low price then you have to keep it on hold for some time to get your profit if you will not keep it hold so it’s useless for you.

Holding is for economically wellfare people. They have lots of money and they can risk their assets. But if you have limited capital, you  may not be able to wait that long to see your investment became big.

HODL bitcoin is very beneficial for long term. So why not for hodl bitcoin if it is profitable. You do not have to think long for hodl bitcoin, you can see a lot of news now people become millionaires because bitcoin. They are just hodl bitcoin from a few years ago. Hodl bitcoin proves to make you rich.

You do not necessarily need to wait for that long, if you only hold for five years that can make all the difference in the world, imagine if you bought bitcoin at 2012 and you held for 5 years you will be probably be rich by now and if you do that with an altcoin you could become rich.

I agree with you, bitcoin will increase his value in the future. And that's the reason why i want to hold my bitcoin in long term ( like your strategy ) because i know when i do that i gain more profit becasue if you can see the value of bitcoin is continue to grow in this coming year 2018, and that's my opinion.

Depends. If you think that bitcoin is going to be mainstream in the future and is going to be used as a everyday currency then you probably should just hold until that happens. Don't worry about short term price movements or anythnig like that.

However if you're more a trader, then you probably want to take advantage of dips and peaks. Doing so can greatly increase your profit margin even though you may still believe in the long term success of bitcoin.

There's a case for both, personally i'm holding, but if the price is way too high then i'm going to dump.

you can hold it if you want to make a big profit in the long run. but if you want to make money in the short term then you can try to trade bitcoin pair usdt and I am sure that you can make a good profit too. but if you decide to trade bitcoin pair usdt, you don't need to be panic when the price is down and you can buy back the bitcoin because that is the good time for you to increase the amount of bitcoin you have. but personally, I still hold the most bitcoin I have until the price can reach my goals and I still have another bitcoin to do trade in daily or weekly so I can try to increase the amount.

Holding bitcoin can make you a lot of money, but if you want to become rich you need to hold a significant amount of bitcoin and since bitcoin is so expensive then that means that you need to have a good amount of money already so becoming rich is not as easy right now.
