Bitcoin Forum

We have breached the $7000 Bitcoin price and the weak hands are running for the hills again. The more experienced Bitcoiners are secretly smiling, because they have seen this before and they are saying, "Calm down, little Padawan"

Some greedy old timers are fuelling the fire, because they know those with little faith will sell their coins to them, if they can scare the wits out of them.

The Trolls are coming out of their holes again, beating their drums and singing, "The Bitcoin Bubble has bust again!....."

We know the Story, because we have watched it play out over and over again. It is the Strong hands VS the Weak hands and we know who will be the Winner, when we hit the Moon.

Pick your side and let the battle begin!  ;D

Weak hands = Bitcoin prices up.
Strong hands = Bitcoin prices down.

Bitcoin is still experimental software. Gold has 5000 years of written history. There is more chance that Bitcoin fail in next 100 years than to succeed because cryptocurrencies are nowadays no more but speculation assets, but I hope weak hands will win.

Weak hands will win, bitcoin price will getting higher and higher every year. Because bitcoin is the future, I wonder what would be the price of bitcoin if it reach its limit.

it is just manipulation and this will also pass. for the time being price is falling and they have successfully created a nice downtrend with a lot of continuous dumps and if someone is finding this unacceptable they should stay away from bitcoin market for the time being and wait until the manipulation stops and a better logical trend shapes up and then come back in.

bitcoin is growing big and everyone knows it. that is why they also want to have access to bitcoin as cheap as possible so that they can buy more of it before it is too late.

100% correct!  The whole Crypto currency scene has been infiltrated by speculators. These people have big fiat pockets and they are buying bitcoins when the price is low. They initially bought a lot of bitcoins, when the price was low and now they are dumping coins to push it even lower.

Price manipulation is not new to Bitcoin, because it is being done on all financial markets, globally. Bitcoin is just another small commodity that can be manipulated by them.

So when you see a downward spiral in the price, when there are no bad news driving this, then you know these people are busy manipulating the price. The strong hands knows this and they just hold on to their coins. <they are not panic selling their coins to these speculators!>

that is part of the problem though. sometimes it seems like everyone wants the price to drop so that they can buy more bitcoin and because of that they do everything they can to push it down, be it dumping, spreading FUD, misleading others,... it is just newbies that lose money and also miss out on buying bitcoin at a discount in this process  ;D


speaking of trolls where is "kuwakduck"? I haven't seen him in ages. did he change his account or something?

I am bullish on the overall crypto market and we might see strong hands manipulating the market as of now because we don't have the mass maturity as of now to deal with the volatility taking place in the market. However, we will see growth not only in the user base but also in the mass maturity level that will result in fewer panic situations.

If we still believe in bitcoin, my business is not to look at the price of bitcoin every day, and every sharp drop in the market is for the next violent rise.

I have the Strong hands and i am not panicing a single bit at the moment..Holding 0.5btc tightly since a long time even in the loss i have complete faith in bitcoin..yes i have seen this before but i know when the time will come bitcoin will roar yet again and reach new heights.

Everyone becomes in the arms of the weak hands every once in a while and I think that is why we should be able to adjust and lead some of those very stricken with panic that in bitcoin and in dealing with the cryptocurrency market that there is this volatility they should always watch out and this is because of the so called decentralization it is running on. In investments there are always risks but you always have to see it through

The strong hand should win but not all the time. The market need the weak hands to circulate well. Whstbis a business when you can't buy and sell? The holders do not do much for any business or coin to stabilize it. Strong hands are good and weak hands are also good. It is for the traders to watch and know what to do with the situation.

Yes all about strong hands, And it's just my opinion that, and also it will be make you a good business-man, we are talking about business simply, and business is totally unpredictable. Ready to make an other business and make both hands strong, Like most of companies , industries are doing their work well, because they have a back up plan or side business :D

Not everyone who is selling now is "weak hands", a lot of them are actually traders who think that the price will continue to fall, so they want to sell now and buy back at the bottom to get a profit - this strategy is just as viable as buying and expecting it to go higher on the bull market. A skilled trader will generate more profit than "strong hands" who just hodl, because they will be getting profits from many price fluctuations in addition to long term gains.

This is indeed something that most old investors have seen before, And a lof of people are going to sell their bitcoins so cheap that they are going to lose money whiles others are in for getting Bitcoins for a cheap price. I am even wondering what even lead to this recent price drops in the frst place.

Those with little faith often lose battles while those who know what they're doing tend to play these weak hands like chess pieces. Old timers feed on the fears (and pockets) of weak hands, and it has always been like that long before bitcoin is even created and traded. Right now, the fear-mongering of the paid trolls are already making the weak hands falter and sell. I couldn't care less since I've been through many waves of this drama and the end result is always the same: after a major crash, there'd be a pump that gives people profit if they held through everything. It doesn't matter who's the winner or loser in these battles; the conclusion stays the same.

This is cyclical, it's amazing how this subject comes up whenever Bitcoin loses some support. Last year's boom has not yet been fully digested, those euphoric weeks have turned into months of uncertainties, I think this year will be like this, but in the medium term the trend is up, perhaps not as fast as we would like.

It always depends on the situation. As a an individual with neutral hands I mean a balance one, I actually choose both due to purposes and priorities. I hold but will also sell my holdings so it is so hard for me to choose which one because as a less fortunate person, I prefer my profits to be converted to fiat money for ourdaily needs. So holding in a short period of time will take place especially in an emergency. I might belong to weak hands and for me majority in this industry has weak hands.

For me the one that will win is the weak hand because if you have a weak spot it will cover yourself and it can lead you to negative or bad result of something that you did not expect. The other people cannot control their weakness because they say it is hard to control. But if you find ways on how  to control the weakness in you then the strong part can win. There is no hard thing in trying something that you want to achieve if you put in your mindset that you can overcome the weak part then you can remove it to your life trying and trying can lead you to a right path. If you set a goal just to get the strong part then you will get it.

it is true that their weak hands cannot bear to hear whispers from strong hands, they are weak hands usually panic when they see prices go down and strong hands always wait for cheap prices and immediately buy by selling high prices.

yeah analytical the weak hands will win but lets see how it goes then we can know what to write about it.

With how bitcoin behave as of this moment, those who are quietly watching the movements are just smiling while those panic sellers are regretting not to trust this system, bitcoin is for those who can change the tune each time opportunities showed up, likewise better as well to have a good capital to invest with long term and wait till you reached out the amount that you desired to earned decent cash.

The way things are looking now it is clear that weak hands are already regretting for letting go even till last week. They will regret more as price has started rising. The strong hands have the win.

Im gonna choose in side of weak hands mate because as we can see right now, bitcoin started to rise again from the bottom. Bullish run are coming. As what i have seen of the price of bitcoin, every year, it hits its all time high and hope it will be back at the end of the year.

Obviously the strong hand will always win, and the weak hands maybe need more experience to become more stronger, specially on the status of huge dip. Market of unstable so then we need to always think possitiv e if we are a holder because if we are weak hand in holding we can all loss.

I think both will win. It depends on the situation. Strong hands which are the early investors are are more likely to succeed. Weak hands are the people who are not pulling out even if the value is fluctuating and they can also win. It is all about dealing your investments regularly.

Bitcoin is killed many times and it rose again veteran understand this nature, Only weak hands or not so educated people are affected by this market manipulations. When the market will rise again it will attract tons of FOMO people and they are contributing to skyrocket the price, that's why we also need weak hands in this market because they play good role too.

I think, the people who will win are those who still hold and still keep the trust to bitcoin. they don't care about the downtrend, because downtrend will end. they only think that volume of bitcoin on the market will benefit them.

I think big ambitions will make them become winners.

so you're on holder side, it is nice. if we be patient bitcoin can back to it's peak and big profit will come to us. i am on strong hand too even not much that i hold. at least i not sell it if not in high price

Weak hand rather newbies only doesn't know how to hold and trade in a right time of patterns, they just risking their money. We already know that tha value of the BTC is not that stable and in a pattern of time it changes so why you worry? Normally it goes down same in hard cash in normal.

I posted this 2 months ago and as you can see, I was spot on. The weak hands might have sold at $7000 and the strong hands might have bought those coins and sold it for a $1400 profit. <Not bad for a 2 month investment>  8)

Unfortunately, we do not own a crystal ball and the price might have dropped to $2000 and then it would have been a whole other story. I just based my prediction on the way that Bitcoin bounced back before, but we have no guarantee that this might happen again in the future.  ::)

that is not true ! maybe weak hands are the bulls which is the scenario that is going on for months now , bears are in control and bull fear of losing more money so they sell and hit their stop-loss button.
some trader just wanna sell to make profits like what is happening on bitmex (short btc), they make their profits that way.

Week hands often do eager to sell with little rise of profit realise while the strong hand will continue holding and buying more from the weak hand based on the experience they have had in the past.

strong hand and weak hands are only short term concept that do not apply to long term and the overall rise of bitcoin. the weak hands win (if you can call it a win) during drops when they are panic selling and strong hands are winning because they sell before the weak hands and buy back before them at the bottom too.
and like always Hodlers are always winners in bitcoin ;)

Strong, of course! Long-term investors always win.

pretty much a good point, realistic too, but lets hope that they have learn their mistakes in the previous one and try to think this time.

I realized that in the crypto market there are a lot of not experienced people who lose their money from not understanding the crypto market! I saw how weak hands came out of this market in half a year! Crypto market threw out not experienced and weak people! now we will wait for new growth and new weak hands!)))

I am holding bitcoins because i have strong hands and i know this story already happen in past because many peoples get panic in downtrend and sell their bitcoins but they don't know bitcoin price is volatile and they regret when market market in uptrend. so patience keeper always win an panic taker always loss.

absolutely, weak hands are totally doomed in this game. But it's actually good for us who are not afraid to invest when the market goes down due to those weak panic sellers

Even if the weak hands sell at the next all time high, then they will still lose. If institutional capital enters the market, we <The strong hands> will not see $19 000 <previous ATH> as the peak, because it will just be the beginning of the Moon price that we are aiming for.

So a lot of the weak hands will fall out of the race to the Moon, because they think $20 000 is the Moon. Most of us aim a lot higher than that, because we know Bitcoin is not even close to mainstream at a price of $20 000 per bitcoin.  ;D

I think it must be a strong hand that will win, because their strong arms always persist when the price goes down and waits until the price shows up and gets results, and that's the way that strong hands do.

Yes just hold it for long term to be a successful person.I want to hold my crypto currencies for very long term and hopfully the prices will continue to rise in the upcomings days as well.I think there will ba new all time high in the price of bitcoin by December 2018, :D

Probably the strong hands are win  because as we can see now the value  of btc are slowly rising. However, we can't also blame some weakened hands because for sure those people are only small investors that can't take anymore to saw their investment that slowly going down so they thought panic selling is the best things that they can do. But in other side, we need to remember that this field is very risky so whatever possible struggles that we've going to encountered all the best things that we can do is conquered it so we can earn the best and better results at the end.

I don't think it will die in 100 years because it is difficult to solve the computing address and private key.

Unless maybe if it's easy to guess for each private Key, surely Bitcoin will fade. Some say that Quantum CPUs can solve everything but until now there is no proof.

I have strong faith on bitcoin no matter the ups and down. bitcoin will win eventually...

Choosing whether to sell now or later is a very critical decision for each of us as of now. As far as everyone is concerned, I will be joining the arms of those who will hold and wait for the bullrun. Because by doing that, I will accumulate the biggest amount of profit among the majority.

In a way I agree. but i fer that bull market is not coming any day soon. all we can hope for is hgh prices at the end of the year.

Strong hand will win, the game of HODL, long term investment

It goes down in cash. The weak hand may have sold for $ 7000 and strong hands may have bought those coins and sold it for a profit of $ 1400. Unfortunately, we do not own a crystal ball and have It was reduced to $ 2000 and then it would be a completely different story. The arms are usually eager to sell with little profit increase realized while the strong hand will continue to hold and buy more from weak hands based on the experience they have had in the past.

Now it is not clear how bitcoin will behave in the near future.

What do you think, what should happen, that people would believe in the crypto currency and start investing massively?

I've been looking for an explanation of "strong hands" vs. "weak hands". I've tried searching in Google and in this forum. But mostly I just find people using examples of how silver changes hands from people who seem to be determined to hold it for the long term (strong hands?) and people who get scared easily and sell it on any kind of fear (weak hands?).

Anyway, I'd sure appreciate if someone could offer a more precise explanation as to the meaning of "strong hands" vs. "weak hands".

Bitcoin will and the holders will win good profit. Those who have strong hands can wait and stay even how hard it falls because they believe for the recovery and those who have weak hands can give more opportunity to strong hands to have more volume at lower price. I also holding some and believe that future is more better.

Right.I strongly agree on you.Strong hands are already been aware about the ups and downs of bitcoin so they will stay calm no matter what happens because in the end,bitcoin will still surges again.Weak hands seem to panic when they see the prices suddenly fall down and so they end up selling their coins and regret in the end.

Weak hands already won at the beginning of this year. But after coming the bear market, now string hands will win. Because At this present situation, the crypto market is not in good condition,l if weak hands sell now then strong hands will win definitely because the crypto market will pump for the sure and every strong hands will enjoy that moment and weak hands will cry  Grin

I personally said that strong hand or weak hand is depend on their investment priority and the experience that make them speculate, I think in the end the strong hand will win but it will takes some times to see crypto recover, weak hand maybe can win a little but it won't get any risk of losing more, strong or weak depend on how tgey see the coin potential and possibility, but it had proven that early adopter get a huge profit while newcomers complained that they losing money

Its not a matter when u come to invest huge or less,its depend on how you expert and smarter while investing on project.

You already defined the two based on hands! (Weak and Strong) Wining in most cases has to do with strength and tact! Strength in terms of passions, patience, belief and knowledge! if you agree with me based on that you should know Strong hands will win in crypto too! Crypto has showed us that if you sell out of impatience, the next second might just be your target sell price if you waited a little! Weak hands mind you are not the same as dumpers! Dumpers could have the intentions of buying back when the price crashes possibly a 10x low buy back price! Weakhands however are non believers! Once they sell they probably won't go back in on a coin or any other!

It is already obvious who will win. If you hold Bitcoin for long term investment there is nothing to worry if Bitcoin suddenly decline. Those new investors will not understand it anyway.

The weak hands will never win with any conditions, because they do not consider the aspects that exist to make choices, they are very easy to panic and do stupid things like very easy to determine when to sell and buy when fud occurs, while strong hands are considerate people Of course they will choose the right one not based on panic..

I strongly agree with your statement, you will not be strong if you will not experience weakness. I said that because weakness is the part of our lives to become stronger.

Unfortunately for us holders, we are continuously getting wrecked in these bear controlled markets. Only the market movers and shakers, and day traders are making money right now and those who short everything after a small rally in whatever coin or token they are pumping for the day. No new money is entering the market so for now us holders are the losers. I do hope though one day in a year or two, the tide might turn in our favor for once. All I know is for now holders are losers, shorters are winners and also whales who accumulate after they shorted everything.

Of course the strong hands will forever triumph over the weak hands. There is no doubt about this. The experience of the strong hands will always speak for them because they are never scared or moved by any form of movement in market price. So they are always positioned for success whenever the opportunity comes.

Crypto is still very potential, not only bitcoin but many altcoins that still have the potential to go up to the moon, even tokens that are still in the ico stage also have a great chance to go up to the moon. so the choice is in our hands, will it still survive in this industry or not and become weak?

The strong hands are just utterly annoying, I think that with these fools they can just easily rule out everything and outwit them, the weak hands will probably leave since they got fooled and the same time they have money that they think would be better of being spent in the real world rathen than spending it on cryptos, which basically means that selfishness would ruin everything here.

At this point, we can only observe as long as it is still an experimental phenomenon. Be patient:) But the fact that the price will rise is obvious, due to the limitations of bitcoins

Of course strong hands will dominate the weak one. The weak hands usually panic and sold their coinstat when market is down sharply thinking for a cutloss to minimize loses. While strong hands are usually experienced trader who know how to get ride the market when uncertainty comes.

The most glaring problem for investors and traders is buying or selling at the very worst time. For example, when a bear market nears its end, the news is at its worst At this point, sentiment is at an extreme for bearishness and weak hands only see the fear. Conversely, strong hands see the opportunity. They know they can buy even if the price dips further because they have the resources to handle the draw down.

Well I’mma say its always in favor of rich than poor and a matter of luck holding. If you are rich doing long term, it wont hurt your eyes watching the market bleeds everyday but for ordinary people it hurts like god damn hell so they panick sell early.And a matter of luck also.

the conclusion is that those who survive and never give up and based on a lot of knowledge about price growth will succeed in bitcoin investment. so don't be afraid when prices experience ups and downs, make it a red market to shop for bitcoin.

Well i think good things always come to those who wait and the people who really wait or who can really wait is the person that has a string hands. Weak hands is always a loser they dont have enoughf patience and they maybe luck of understanding on crypto market that is why they are always doing panic selling when the price goes on dip. I always believe that strong hands will gain in the right time.

Strong hand can survive because they believe on the potential of coins they are holding. They analyze the market so well and do not afraid if it fall deeper because it can survive just giving opportunities to others. Those who makes success ate people that taking all the risk and believing on the good result.

Strong hands for me will win because strong hands have strong faith in bitcoin to grow more.Holding was one of the strategy that every bitcoiner play.If you own the courage to hold then you have a brighter on cryptocurrency community.

Nope, this is not about Rich and Poor, but rather believers and speculators. A true believer in this technology <no matter if you rich or poor>, will stay in longer, than a speculator. The speculator will panic at the slightest drop in the price and they will lose money by doing this.

The true believer in the technology will hoard longer and feast on the profit, when the price eventually spike. We have seen this over and over again and I see no reason why this will not happen again.  ;)

actualy, strong hands will be winner. they have skill for pumpimg they life

it has always been and will be in any of the markets. in order for someone to earn others must lose, money passes from hand to hand

of course strong hands will win because they know the movement of bitcoin, they are patient and they know how to earn profit when the market is down.

It's obvious that this on going bearish market is in favor of weak hands as most them are really benefited accidentally and those on keep on holding are now losing huge in which they don't know if when the market will bounce back again so that they could take back their losses. Like me in which i have already loss 80% of my capital since January because of keep on holding so that i will not be called a weak hands too.

Weak hands lose their money and strong hands keep the faith waiting for their chance maybe several years from now. It is in waiting and patience that one person may gain the biggest advantage. The only disadvantage though is until when. Like what we have seen on the prices of bitcoin today. Weak hands may have lose a little because they immediately sell their coins but strong hands may have a hard time and a heartache looking at how the prices have dropped but no worries because sometime in the futures prices will go up again. It is a cycle and all you have to do is wait and wait.

Between strong hands and weak hands , strong hands would always be  winners no matter how much we would want to twist it.
Weak hands always panic dumping even Below their cost price and recording huge losses while strong hands buys the dump and sell back to weak hands at a Profit on market recovery.

Weak hands for now, if they had selling out already their holdings then definitely they can buy back more cheaper coins or crypto. The goal here is not holding crypto to be succesful but the right decision to be made in trading. So to those who had sold their crypto earlier and invested now may seem to be successful for they gain that much crypto and will hold later on and then sell again in the right time.
