Do you think that the HODL approach is good bitcoin?
Sometimes I think that because so many people HODL it makes is easier for some big players to manipulate the price.

I wonder what the community think about it.
I personally HODL for almost a year, I made some money and lost some money, But generally, I'm positive about the long run. I'm just curious about the fact that maybe we are the one who make it possible for big companies to influence the price in such an easy way

I have seen many people winning in the long run rather than short term as short term they are in only for some few points. But in the long run fortunes are made if they are held for sometime. Big players also manipulate the market but sometimes wise choices are always in our hands when to pull the trigger and when to exit. We all have our own strategy of trading and booking profits.

We all have our own strategy of trading and booking profit that's for sure. My question is: Do you think that the HODL approach that most of the crypto community glory is good for the small players?
I start to think that it actually hurt us all.

In my opinion HODLing makes you not emotionally vulnerable for the day to day price actions and let's you fully profit from Bitcoins potential.

There is nothing you can do that will be bad for Bitcoin. Do whatever suits you best. You need to feel comfortable with your actions on the market.

I think you're wrong. HODL means that you sell no matter what but it also means that you keep it no matter what because you believe in this market. Believing in something automatically put emotions into the game.

Sound like you compare bitcoin to god & religion.

There is a market here, What we do directly effect bitcoin price.

If we HODL a big amount Bitcoins so that the supply is low, then investor who want to own Bitcoin will buy it with high price - the price HODL accept to sell it. So on theory, if we HODL the price of asset will rise.
If you HODLING, I think you should keep HODLING, don't care about manipulators, they just manipulate in a short time :)

why not? especially when people are using Bitcoin as Investment...

Depends on how you view Bitcoin. If you view it as a store of value, then yes HODL is a good approach for Bitcoin. Hodling takes coins of the market which creates more scarcity, so that = higher price. Although you are correct, it does increase the chances of manipulation as there wouldn't be too much liquidity in the orderbooks. However, that has been the case for Bitcoin this whole time, and that is why it's so volatile. Not everyone will take their coins of the orderbooks and hodl, a lot of people try to day trade. As the market increases in size, then volatility will decrease and BTC will be much harder to manipulate. There will always be traders in the Bitcoin market that don't hodl, and there will always be more that join them.

If you view Bitcoin as a currency, then HODL is not a good approach IMO. Money needs to change hands frequently for a currency, as this is how the economy works. HODLing is basically hoarding, and if no one wants to spend their Bitcoin, then it will not work as a currency. Once the price stabilizes I think people will only hodl to store value (like they do with gold) and at that point with LN and a stable price, usage as a currency will be no problem.

Its a simple mathematics. When you have it and sell, you no longer have it again until you buy. Its that simple. Everyone should be allowed to pursue their objective in the market.

In the fiat world, despite all the amount of dollars we see in movies that drug lords keep that didn't go back into circulation, it does not makes the dollar scarce or increase its value. The assumption that holding is making the manipulation of market easy to me is not mathematically possible because by withdrawing supply with increasing demand, the price increases not the other way round like what we are having now that have led to the drop in price. The sharp drop in the price of bitcoin by almost $300 within hours is huge but there are answers to that surely not those who hold.

Also, if everyone is trading, it means bitcoin has failed to be a 'store of value'.

I think buying at the dip and selling at the pump is the good option to choose. HODL can be good if you are an investor who has plenty of money to invest and you have plenty of income ways. but if you don't have enough money to invest and wait longer time periods HOLD can't be painful for you. that's what thas happened to me right now.l

You have a very good experience to tell because you held on to bitcoin for a year. What then are you jittery now?

Every people has their own perspective, If you are on the winning side then you should think long term. Slice a whole cake not a slice of cake. Please be involve on blockchain industry especially the underlying of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

Obviously, It is good approach in Bitcoin because Holding is a future investment so many peoples are interested to invest this platform. But too many issues are created in crypto market so currently many peoples are avoid these things. Again Bitcoin is going to moon that day everyone believe this platform and long term investment is a right choice for this coin.

HODL can be good or bad depends on the run we are in like bull or bear run,yes the manipulation can be done if lot of people holding the bitcoin without the appropriate knowledge about it because most of the time the whales just initiate the price drop and the people will start to panic resulted in huge loss so buy the bitcoin if you know the risk behind it.

Making investment tools hodl is a way to gain long term, but you must have a patience like steel. I'm not in favor of hodl personally

Yes, absolutely hodl is the best thing to make a good amount of profit without taking much risk. So basically if you are holding your bitcoin until its price increases, then you will never suffer from the loss.

I do not want to look meanly here, but I realized that Hold brings greater benefits to the rich because the rich can invest a lot of money
and they can Hold for many years. Let's give an example:

Last year bitcoin reached more than $17,000. A rich could take $5 million and buy bitcoin at the price of $17000 and hold for many years. Even if now the price has dropped to $7000, for the rich this is not a big problem, because the day the price recovers he will have huge profits. But imagine someone who invests only $1000. Profit will be very low... And that's why a lot of people rush to invest in altcoins that have the potential to have huge price increases over the long term.



I did not see anyone show proof of who is manipulating the price, I see some groups of pump and dump when it comes to altcoins.

For bitcoin and most good altcoins I think it's a good approach, but you definitely need have strong willpower to be able to do so, to ride out the inevative bear periods that will come between. In the end, Bitcoin should be able to reach a value of $100,000 but it will just take up to a decade to get there. So long as you can hold off unti then, there's plenty of potential for the long term.

Holding is a good strategy to investing in bitcoin, it is hard to see the rationale behind it in a short term assessment or in a bear market, over the course of time, you will discover it is a smart thing to do

Everyone that think that HODL approach is necessary in bitcoin and even in other altcoins. We believe that long term run can give good profit as the price gets expensive. No matter how other manipulate the price, we have to let it go on. There is nothing to be afraid of even the price goes down, it will bounce again.

You can only hold coin you believe it has a future, sometimes you get hit really hard for holding coin too long and sometimes you just blessed for being a great hodler.

As for the market manipulation, we can't stop it!
As far as crypto remains decentralized, the big whales will continue to manipulate the market, we can't stop them

  For me Yes...just hold bitcoin when price is cheaper because if you sell it of course you will surely lose your bitcoin and not gain earnings. But if you hold it even for a long term i am sure that you will earn profit. You just need a lot of patience to do this.

it depends on you, but if you think in the long run, bitcoin will sure get its all time high. This price drop is a great opportunity for every one of us to buy and then sell if you get your profit target. We will see what will happen by december.

I think it depends on the situation and when theh are going to sell. Because I already saw a short term investment which profit more than in long term. It just matter on when you are going to sell your bitcoin in the market. And I believe that people cant manipulate the market since it was decentralized. But we cant do anything for it anyway, only we have to go sith flow and make your own strategy where you wont lose your money.

In the case of bitcoin that their is no stable value or it always fluctuating short term investing and trading is not applicable if you always monitoring the value it most approach was the long term investment because for you to know what is the big different of long term and short term and yes it is more approach to hodl your bitcoin.

You should make a backup action, put some assets in the net, and some for trading, it's better. Not all in, then hold. It might be good for those who have long-term goals, but sometimes we also need assets at unexpected times.

Yeah holding long for long term got the positive and negative side, it's better to spend and buy, so Bitcoin got a good transactions volume, but if you don't really understand about the market then holding is better than sell in a wrong time, and aiming for long term is easier to make profit

Hold may not always be a good thing for bitcoin. I prefer that people regularly make use of their bitcoin for payment transactions and all other things they do.. If people use their bitcoin, it becomes much more difficult to manipulate.

Only btc has the meaning of HODL!
Other cryptocurrencies have little investment value. BTC is the most valuable currency in cryptocurrency. You can see that BTC is half the market value of the cryptocurrency market, which means that most people invest in BTC!

HODL when you can, why not. At the end, it is your welfare that you look after at, not anyone else's.

But come to think of it, hodling poses a serious problem too. Hodl for too long and you might end up in a bear trap. Unable to withdraw your investment since you will lose substantially more instead of gaining even just a bit.  As you said, you have been hodling for over a year now, how much did you invest for your bitcoin? I'm pretty sure you could have gained a lot already should you decided to sell during last year's ATH.

Now you will be forced to hodl on an extended period and wait for the bullish season (luckily it seems it's about to start soon). So for me, i'd be wise should i decide to hodl.

There are at times in this cryptocurrency business that you wished, you had sold earlier.
But never the less, holding for long is better....as you get to see reasonable  profit on your holdings.

but the community approach is HODL no matter what. It makes the small player beleive in kind of utopia, and when the market crash, they can't do anything

I agree. This post is about the approach that the majority of crypto community has. 'HODL no matter what. '

That's exactly my point. HODL is not that good. We need to increase the usage, making it more difficult for the big players to manipulate the market like this

You probably won’t influence the market with holding your bitcoin. You have to decide what kind of strategy you prefer in general. Holding it longer might pay off in the long run!!

In my opinion, i find it very difficult to say what the market about but it will recover  in a day. If you have enough money to buy BTC to hold, this is the right time. Have a good day to you  ;D ;D ;D

Certainly if a coin of HODL is to be made, it must be Bitcoin. Bitcoin price will definitely rise...

Holding is for investors and not for those who are really trading in short term. People tend to be impatient and when they see the prices goes down they will likely to sell.

The is no level the big players in the bitcoin network can not go in other to influence the price of bitcoin to there own advantage since they have the huge capital to pump in, but in all as a all investors we need to hodl in other not to be use by the big companies. You don't lose when you hold but only lose when you sell out of panic due to the activities of the big players.

every coin or token must have their total supply and circulation data on the market. when we HOLD and the coins sell well in the market, then supply will be depleted and demand will increase, this will make prices rise, this case happens to bitcoin now

Yes, but it depends from you and what was your opening position.

Hodl does not require experience, but requires patience and confidence in the blockchain technology. Do not you see that we jumped from $ 200 billion to $ 600 billion in market capitalization in exactly 30 days (18 November to 18 December)? Tactical hodl is a better choice. Hodl is a strategy that I have used over the past few years and has continued to bring more profit to me.

Yes, hold the bitcoin this time will be less risky. I also chose hold, because with me the crypto market is now unstable. For that reason, a hold is a safe choice for all investors.

At the present time, there should be a good plan for your wallet. Much attention can be paid to the evolution of the crypto market and decision making.

Of course holding Bitcoin is a good approach. I keep my Bitcoin way back when it was only $300 and it never fails me. Even though it goes back to $6,000 I still have a good profit if I sell it. But why would I sell it if I know it will recover any moment.

Now market is not good so i think hold is good plan for all. When market is good then sell your coin . I think this is right choise

Actually depends on what you are holding and the market situation. If it is some altcoins, whose price is quite unstable and has no sign of rising back up, then it is better to not hold. Sometimes, the best option is to let go off your investment even if it means that you will make some loss. If you sell off your investment, you might open opportunity to invest on other coins that will give you better profit than the ones you are holding right now.

Well it's definitely a better approach than panic selling. Though you're right that having most people holding keeps the price stagnant and easy to manipulate, it's a better alternative unless you're that efficient in riding market movements. You have to think about your losses and gains as well you know

Considering the current market situation, hodl approach for Bitcoin may just be the best option to make the market recover as soon as possible.

Yes, definitely don't sell if there's a very higher chance that it could rise further and I am very happy that many people believed that bitcoin could reach that potentials even though the struggles of reaching very high value was there. It's been a long time since last January the roller coaster was still bouncing up and down, and day traders played a strong contributions why this happened actually, so I think Hodling was the best options to do for now as we faced the challenging situations.

Definitely yes, Holding Bitcoin is very good at this time because the market will always appreciate over time
Bitcoin is the coin of the future because all other coin in the coin market cap is greatly influenced by Bitcoin
Bitcoin will moon very soon and so HODL will be the best choice

Holding is actually favourable to the owners at the long run,  it most times generate high profit. But It sometimes not too good for the markets.  If everybody decided to hold there will be a short supply of coins to the markets there by causing scarcity of coins. Which the big whales can manipulate by crashing the market price to force vulnerable people to sell.

The hold strategy is good in bitcoin ,because it has apurpose in doing so ,when market is in falldown you must be able to think of holding your coins and tokens ,so that you will not lost some of your investment,in panic selling during down so you must apply the hold method.

I don't support the hodl approach on Bitcoin. If hodl for far too long then little or no profit would be made by holding BUT if traded, buy low and sell high with respect to Bitcoin price fluctuation then there's a high chance of increasing one's Bitcoin.

It is good to hold as this is the real time to hold. If one did not hold at this time ,, that mean the person will be selling below the actual the person bought the coin and that is a real loss.. Compare someone that bought at $10,000 and decide to sell at this time of $6200 .

The hodl can only be worth the while when and if you had bought the bitcoin when it was high and it dipped while it was with you or betterstill, you hodl so as to ensure you make some profit and avoid selling off at a loss.

According to my experience, bitcoin and ethereum are the only investments good enough for long-term holding. The rest of the tokens are just getting less valuable. And at this very moment I have lots of tokens that I don't know what to do with..Like rivets, comsa, zonto, etc. So from now on, I am not going to hold anything but ethereum and bitcoin.

I think this is the right way to hold because I hear a lot of news holds first because the market is not good enough

Yes.
The hold approach is a  good strategy for high return on investment, especially when the market is bearish.
At such a time,  the best thing to do is to hold your digital assets until the market recovers. 

Yes holding is one of the best option especially when the price is not that good. In this kind of situation holding is the thing we need to do so we can achieve or earn the profit we desired.

HODL is one way to play safely, which is to save your bitcoin as long as you want until the price matches your expectations. These are investors who play, because time is not a problem. Long-term investment in bitcoin. For traders that are different, they cannot be old HODLs because bitcoin must be traded for short-term profits. Traders like bitcoin price fluctuations, because fluctuations usually benefit traders. Their price increases, the price drops they also benefit, because they buy at a low price then sell when the price goes up a little is enough.

Yes it does hold is the best way to avoid loses on crytpocurrency as we all know that part of bitcoin system is the volatility of market price and it moves up and down. For now the crypto market is down and should hold and should not panic because if one will do panic then it will result to selling the crypto in a cheaper market price.

There are two ways to be involved with bitcoin which is trading and investment. You can buy and hold bitcoin if you do not know how to trade, then you can hold and wait patiently when the price improves you can then sell off to make a profit off the different in price. But if you know how to  trade you can trade and make profits too.                                                                                                                                                                       

I think this is the best thing to do, given the current market. As you know, after the fall there is always a rise in value, so selling bikoin now is stupidity.

HODLING is always good here, at least for a long-term strategy.
You should buy some and forget about crypto for like... 10 years... then you probably will be rich.

HODL approach is good or not its depend on our strategy but most of peoples who enter right time in market than they believe in for long term hold also one of those who enter in market in wrong time, they buy bitcoin when price was $20k and than suddenly bitcoin price fall and holding bitcoin is compulsory for them. but most of time long term investment give profit to investors but market entry and exit timing is important. if we take bitcoin as a investment scheme not as a technology than we can't understand bitcoin and behind its blockchain technology.

indeed if we continue to hold bitcoin then later we can get extraordinary results, even though the current market conditions continue to deteriorate then the things we do are just holding on until the market returns green and continues to rise

HOLD is a defensive approach and can work when the Bitcoin is on run( either on positive or on negative). It is like you play safe and win something Rather risking everything and lossing everything or winning everything.People in this market rather choose later option as with some luck and true info that can change your life completely. So HOLD approch is not the best approach but most secured approch.

Yes, this is pretty good. but for me . I want to make money early to pay the daily expenses, so I choose short term investment. This saves me time. Good long term investment and huge profit but long wait time.

it depends on you, but if you think in the long run, bitcoin will definitely get all the time high. This price reduction is a great opportunity for everyone to buy and then sell if you get your profit target.

Whether to keep or not bitcoin, this is everyone's business. Since bitcoin has been growing in price over the past few years, people are basically holding it in the hope of profit from raising its rate. Holding itself, as it reduces the supply on the market, leads to a further increase in the price of bitcoin. I would say that this generally has a bad effect on bitcoin itself. Many states see a significant increase in the cost of bitcoin inflation of its financial bubble and this complicates the process of its further legalization. One coin can not constantly grow in price. Everything has its own limit. And the higher the bitcoin price is, the riskier it becomes to invest in it. This must always be remembered.

Looking at the current situations of the market, my advise will be to HOLD. Bitcoin still has huge potential, beside if you decided to go short right now, it will be more of a gambling than investment because no one can really predict the market accurately (for short term) but the possibility of accurate prediction for long term is 80% (based on pass predictions).

For a huge profit, the biggest amount is necessary for the investment. And if you have done at HODL this will be quite beneficial. Because for the long-term investment should be bigger amount then it will be given maximum profit.

The most effective hold time is when the market begins to freeze up and explode. Basically you do not need to hold early, when the market starts to warm up on a large scale is at the buy.
The current time will not hold, you also do not try to find hold points. When the heat goes cold, warming up will be the safest. Because if you try to buy when the market is falling, you will almost buy the price relatively high and quickly depressed as it continues to fall.

I have seen numerous individuals winning over the long haul as opposed to here and now as here and now they are in just for approximately few focuses. In any case, over the long haul fortunes are made on the off chance that they are held for at some point. Enormous players likewise control the market however now and again astute decisions are dependably in our grasp when to pull the trigger and when to exit. We as a whole have our own particular technique of exchanging and booking benefits.

i think that hodlers are patiently enough that can wait just to earn what they invest. They prove patience in waiting for the right time just to gain profit on their bitcoin. And waiting for hodl is a very good thing for investing bitcoins. It is a good sign that you are patiently enough to wait for the right time to sell or trade your bitcoins.

I believe the HODL approach is really cool. Over the years bitcoin has proved itself worthy to hodl. I believe whenever the price of bitcoin falls, it is better to HODL so the price of bitcoin will not drop further. Hence the HODL approach should be encouraged.

the hold approach is good and has always been good as it has paid off for people who did. we have heard of people who had and still have faith in the blockchain technology and even went as far as selling off their luxury cars just to buy bitcoins when it was way too cheap and today they are known as billionaires because they did hold. it pays to hold bitcoin.

In my opinion it is clear that it is a good thing for bitcoin, holding a holding is the right action for the current situation because it is a future investment opportunity, now is not the time to sell at a low price and it will further worsen the situation.

I'm my own view , you can split ur portfolio to long-term and short-term investment,  with that you can always benefit when there is a pump in the price of a coin

Everyone has its own strategy on how to gain more from bitcoin. For a long term much better to hold bitcoin for a chance to have more profit. But if you are doing trade then you must go to short term profit and you don't need to hold.

I have been a big evangelist for the Hodl gospel. But I just recently realize that I was wrong. I have been trading and I've been able to increase my bitcoin holding. My point is don't just keep them. Use them to do something. Trade it, use it to buy items, buy and resell. Just do it

Right.At least you should have a separate coin for your long term and short term trading.HODL is still a good approach but if you want to earn in a quick time,then learn how to day trade also.

Personally, I don't have many bitcoin coins, so I collect them. I try to exchange other coins for bitcoin and get a high profit after a long time. If we talk about last year. Price last year was $ 3000 and now the 6000 and slightly above. In the long term, it is very profitable

Holding isn't a wise strategy for now, crypto market is on high rate of price fluctuation and its volatility became strong. And due to unpredictable market future, we never knew if we goes up or down, thus it needs us to be practical and do sell our coins if we saw gains and buy again if it bounce back into low price.

Yes, It is. We need more holders than sellers. Only hodlers can make balance the crypto market. Panic sellers are not good for the crypto, there are differences between sellers and panic sellers! HODLERS are holding the bitcoin from its beginning and that's why bitcoin has become this big asset! Holders mean the trusted member of the cryptocurrency and holders will always win. The history talks the truth.

that's good action bro. rather than having to sell bitcoin now while I have to suffer a lot of losses. better to be patient and wait until the price rises again. because I also invested in bitcoin for the long term

No, I personally don't think so. If you study the market, you're much better off trading.

I would much recommend that you wait it out and study the the different parameters affecting price before pulling the trigger. Although you can still make a few coins with short term, the former gels well with my needs better. But I would suggest doing the short-term thing in moderation as the prices now make it more attractive to hold than to chase short-range turnovers.

You have to know the exact token you are holding for that long and the potential behind the project. I have lost quite a bit by holding unto some tokens which never rose even to ICO price and it is very sad when it goes this way.

I think keeping or selling is your decision. If you think that keeping Bitcoin is good, it depends on your investment plan. At times, retaining Bitcoin will be profitable in the future, but it may also cause you to miss out on your opportunity to sell. Everything is beneficial and harmful. Anyway, as long as you feel it is appropriate to predict your market price and strategy.

Everything has two sides of it . Whether to keep Bitcoin long does not exactly reflect it is a good way to make a profit. It also depends on the time and strategy to observe your market. If you keep Bitcoin too long while it is rising and earning you double the amount you should sell instead of waiting for a higher price without seeing any signs.

I think the investment strategy that is commonly done is to hold back the opportunity or opportunity to get if we have patience

For me HODL approach is still good with bitcoin because if i sell it now i might loose a large some amount of money that inhad invested this first quarter of the year and i dont want that to happen thats why i keep on holding on.

HODL is always good in investing.
That is why Warren Buffet get rich, and also a lot of other investors.
As long as the investment is a long term investment. And I think bitcoin is such a thing. So my conclusion is HODL is good for bitcon.

Hell yeah. Hodling is best for Bitcoin, you can literally reap huge profits, doubt? Examine the history. Every 4 years Bitcoin is going to be damn scarce and its gonna give it immense value.

Of course it is. Look back at the past, BTC is always in an increasing trend over the years. I don't see any reason that BTC will stop growing.

It all depends on my personal mindset, why is that? when investors together make way for HODL in bitcoin, it will encourage a scarcity in the sale of bitcoin, which means prices will be more expensive or move up, this is a logical thing in a trade where the principles of supply and demand apply.

In a way you are right and there's nothing bad we can do for bitcoin. you have to see what works best for you and fits your needs, were all different and thats no problem.

Well it entirely depends upon your investment strategy. But to me I don't think that holding Bitcoin is a good idea. I prefer to use crypto currency that is Bitcoin as a currency rather that as an asset. It's a currency for the new generation. It's digitalized rather than flat money. If you think that its your last money then definitely you should hold and wait for the right time but if it not then I won't suggest you to hold it.

Holding is good because the market fluctuation is temporary and if you take decisions in hurry then it will cause you great loss so if you hold in the tough market the chances of profit and prosperity is high.

In market condition like what happen right now, hodl is best option rather than trade on market. Market price drop more than 70% and i think its because people panic with negative news. Demand determined by supply and demand and not depending on hodler

Not always as this would cause a freeze in the market dynamics as one market must be able to have large transactions in order to stay afloat. Unfortunately, most people have that long term mentality.

Long term holding is obviously the most effective way compared to daily trading where almost all day traders are losing half of there investment, because of the high volatility of its market that could be so difficult for them to predict what will really happen to its price. And the most victims of the market manipulation of those so called whales are mostly day trader, because of the unpredictable market of cryptocurrency, and long term holders are always safe unless if they are tempted to sell their holdings because of the manipulation of whales in the crypto market.

Well, I`m having some HOLD amount in cold storage, but I also have a wallet with BTC with I actually use to buy stuff, we need to use Bitcoin as money also .

I think that the other option does not remain as soon as to reconcile and wait for a better time to sell coins at a low price there is no point let them lie in the purse until better times

It is good to hold when you the price goes down after you take risk to invest, that way you can avoid to lose of it. Holding of bitcoin is the best thing to do because it has potential to grow on the future and nothing to be scared about the market change, take every time of change as an opportunity.

In my opinion, the manipulator couldn't do that thing when the community decide to hold the bitcoin, we have to make the manipulator can sell their asset, but after that they cannot buy bitcoin, because we already HOLD it. So, the HOLD approach is a good thing for bitcoin future.

Yes, bitcoin is intended for long term Investment method and you were already prove It, thats why you still keep on holding because you believed theres something good fluctuations before the of these year. And I guess It is a challenge for us, how far our patinece in holding bitcoin, by manipulating thise big whales.

All cryptocurrency need to go and take profit on the basis of indicators, cyclicity and at the end of the year when investors fix their profit. ;)

The more you hold on with your crypto valuables, the higher its market price or worth will get. Once you are all set for a long term hold, then you can surely ignore all the bad situation of the market because your focus is hodling them for long until the proper time comes.

On the contrary, hold is intended to prevent a big dump in Cryptocurrency market.  The dump could  even be attempts by some whales to cause panic and create more dumps to buy cheaply.

There is nothing bad about holding. It's no different than keeping money in your bank savings account. Nothing stops you from using Cryptocurrency for other things like payments, day trading. Hold some long-term and use others for payments & trading, should be another way of diversifing your holdings

If you do not know how to trade, it is the best option

I think even if you know how to trade,but considering the current market condition,it's still best to hold your coins for a long term investment and gain huge profit in time.Day trading might be good if you want an immediate profit but make sure you know how to overcome its risks because if not,you'll just end up losing your capital.

When the prices are down on the market, everyone shift to ''hold'' tactic to take care of themselves. But the results aren't always good, sometimes you should wait a lot for profit. Perhaps if you have already sold it instead of waiting and investing to another, you would have more profit 2 or even 3 times. My advice is, don't fear risk and always pay attention to news.

To me HODL is a scam to be predicted you can just keep going and everything will just turn dust over night. Yes we know in Crypto one needs to have patience but the patience is really much this time when it comes to HODling.

I would always favour shorting, but for peace of mind I would say hodl is a pretty good strategy - particularly if you got in while the prices were way down.

The market is cyclic - who knows what heights it could go to in the future.

You're right. Some of bitcoin users become wining in long term not short term. It is the opposite of new comer of bitcoin, they eager and seem to be greedy to become rich and get anything in short. Holding it become worth in long term, I also jut proved it.

Hold is good but needs to know what it will take place in the future, analyze a good coin to hold and trust, hold it long.

sometimes holding is a good way to make the price of bitcoin is stable, why? we can see that holding can makes the stock in the market is low and the demand is high, so the price is rise up or makes the price is stable

yes it is but i this also day trading can give a good profit if you have good knowledge in trading.if not you can allow for profit trading to capture longer trends, thereby helping you in multiplying capital quickly.

Not winning sprinters and marathon runners! Therefore, you need to be patient and wait until your bitcoins grow. however , if there is an opportunity to invest in a successful project, why not. But the most reasonable thing to do is only part of your savings in bitcoin. And today is the perfect time for investment!

I think that the hold here in bitcoin is good approach because it can helo you to earn a big 0rofit here in bitcoin.

We must realise and understand the fact that Bitcoin is valuable today just because the early adopters decided to use Bitcoin as a payment system instead of holding it for the speculation purpose period I am not against speculation but I believe that we should give first priority to use Bitcoin as a payment system as it is going to make it more valuable over the period of time.

Long-term storage is the most profitable strategy for investment. So you avoid the risks that accompany trading for example. So I always used it hold and will do it in the future.

Long-term storage is so not good for bitcoin itself, but I still actively use this investment strategy, because it brings me the maximum profit.

It all depends on best strategy for every investors. Some assets pay off with long HODL while others are good to go on very short term trades. The key thing is to identify such assets and apply your best strategy.


To me though, I don't believe so much in king HODL anymore. I prefer steady short trades.

It's not entirely good for Bitcoin if a big number of people decide to hodl their bitcoin. Just as you said, those who decide to trade their will be in a position to manipulate the price as they wish. In the other hand if the number of holders is big and those selling are small, demand will be higher than supply which will make the price to skyrocket.

People have an separate opion regarding bitcoin holding, so people hodl is good and some other hodl aren't good, so i think depends on the people how to express bitcoin themself and depends to the people strategy about how to handle their bitcoin investment.

Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme if you look at it as an investment. Same goes with most other cryptocurrencies out there. And since it is not an instant fortune as some would think, we will need to bring along tons of patience if we wanna invest in Bitcoin because it will entail us to hold for some time if we wanna earn from it. So yeah, holding is what makes it work for most.

The hodl approach is pretty good, but that's on a long-term basis, as one has to exercise a lot of patience, despite the loss that would be incurred in the process.

Well, to me, hodling is not bad, as long as you know when the opportunity to sell off presents itself.

It doesn't work like that. Even if 50% of all BTC users held the price wouldn't stabilize. You would be limiting the supply of coins by holding thus making the price react to less coins being thrown on the market. If you have 100 coins in circulation on the market and the rest is off and someone sells 10, you'll have a significant move, but try doing the same thing when there's only 50 coins on the exchange because everybody is holding.

The Bitcoin holder does not give any effect on the price of Bitcoin until the future. Because they only hold back does not make the price of Bitcoin rise or fall. Therefore they do not contribute to Bitcoin.

Holding approach is good for bitcoin and some altcoins as well, because over time, the price will always go up with wide volatility in between, you only need to wait

hodl is part of an investment strategy and trading to get profit, hold always creates profits, but sometimes hold also creates losses.

but I often get profit from hold, even though the value is small. so, I think that hold is good for bitcoin.

Holding for bitcoin is good Idea because most of the people who hold their bitcoin for few years are earn a lot of money and most of them are become rich or millionaire. You are not lose money when you still holding most of them also like who bought bitcoin at $20k price in december 2017. But need to be positive to convince people to invest again and back again what we are already lost.

if the big companies would not be able to find the investors who dump in every single fud than it won`t be so easy to manipulate the market and I think that the holders are not the reason of it inversly the sellers are.

Most people approached to hodling bitcoin is for a long term investment they are not bordered on whether the market is manipulated or not they are primarily consigned with the price in the future having a strong belief in speculations and predictions of the price of bitcoin.

It is the opposite, the holders make the manipulation of the market harder, since long term holders are not going to sell their coins no matter the price, the ones that make the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to go down are the speculators, the traders and the panic sellers, and of those three groups the panic sellers are the worst since they make the price to crash very abruptly.

Hodl is not the best in the bear market right now . and also with rate of cyber activities going on the crypto , i believe one should trade with bitcoin and convert to fiat currency as soon as possible . bitcoin is very volatile . trading is key to profit in this recent time than Hodl

the bottom line is that those who are able to buy at the lowest price can make a profit. holding, in the long run, is not necessarily a big profit because all markets experience changes every time. able to take advantage of the best opportunities will get a lot of profits. by buying with cheap market prices and selling when prices rise again.

I don't know if it's wrong to hodl bitcoin but that's only my strategy in this roller coaster investment. I am a bad trader and hodling bitcoin until I think I have a better reason to sell it.

yes, because I get time to research the development of investment funds regarding the calculation of the purchase time price and the target price for selling bitcoin

yes holding is good rather than buying and selling crypto or day trading. I would not go to day trade because it is also a hard work from always watching how market price move. So better to hold crypto than doing this because it might end also that you will going to lose some of your crypto if you could not predict accurately the bitcoin market price.

If he bought in last months of last year, he would probably be in loss today lol

Anyway, hold that Bitcoin until 2021 you will make more than 'some money' I can tell.

hodl to bitcoin in my opinion is a strategy used for beginners who are desperate to see the market today and do not have a strategy to trade in the short term, because trading in the short term can also generate profits

For now bitcoin holding is good in these days and if not follow this approach we can bear huge losses while i have bought bitcoin at $15000 so now it is difficult to sell my coin at this price so now holding approach is better and many people are following this in these days.

yes you have exactly pin the point out and we all know that it is really happening like for now if you are going to watch the market price movement take note that the market price for bitcoin now is 6.5K USD watch the market price movement and there is a possibility that it will kick off to even 20K USD or more in the near future.

for me its yes it will help bitcoin to remain the price and become stable what we people need to do is get more investors so that the price will increase and will go pump and let us educate them to HODL as well so we all can earn profit from keeping our bitcoin and we sell bitcoin when we have enough profit from what we have saved

It's not so much useful for Bitcoin if a major number of individuals choose to hodl their bitcoin. Similarly as you stated, the individuals who choose to exchange their will be in a situation to control the cost as they wish. In the other hand if the quantity of holders is enormous and those offering are little, request will be higher than supply which will make the cost to soar.

Well, hodling is great sometimes but apparently and obviously it is not without it's disadvantages too. Hodling does not create any value for the coin, since the coin gets it's major value when it is being actively used or traded. Simply hodling the coin without any real life usage prevents that.

Hold approach I think is depend on your belief in BitcoinBTC, if you find out that this virtual currency is really has a potentials things in the future, for sure you will decide to buy it then hold em in a long term just like what you are doing savings in the banks, only the differences was you keep it on your bitcoin wallet address.

yes of course the hodl is the best choice for you if you are stuck at a very expensive price and you don't want to lose the assets that you have then the best advice and step is to get the price back to recover.

In my opinion, hold is a good thing for bitcoin in situations like this, because in conditions like now making a sale will only worsen the situation, so it's better to buy it for a long-term investment.

Generally, holding is good in some instance. In some other instance holding will burn you. I think it depends on the type of coin you are holding. Most coins when Holding can yield good profit in short time for the investors.

I think hold can be done for people who have very high awareness for those who do not want to lose the assets they have when the price conditions fall so all they can do is hold.

Well I am holding for a almost half of year and i lost some money it's like 100% down to 10% it makes me feel hurt but I am positively waiting to the time that my token get up and make double what i invested.. I dont care if it go for another year.. I am going to hold it until i recover what ive lost..

depending, if you buy it for now, it's good at a long holding rate or a short trade. well that's why knowledge will play an important role in a level like the current situation.

I also adhere to this approach. There is no point in selling bitcoin now, the market feels insecure, and I also bought it at a much higher price. I lost a little, but look to the future with optimism.

I think that the Hodl is the only one approach wich work with all cryptocurrencies not only bitcoin. Because the market is uncertain and not rational. In drop and hips also.

Hodl is a bad approach that is preached by two kinds of people. The first kind are those who bought long ago and had huge gains without any effort. They held and it gave them money so they're telling others to hold but the price will not go up indefinitely.
The second group are bag holders who didn't sell and are telling others to hold to slow down the price decline.

I'm my own view , you can split ur portfolio to long-term and short-term investment,  with that you can always benefit when there is a pump in the price of a coin

I really like this investment strategy, as it is the most profitable and does not require anything special from you. You just buy bitcoin and wait for it to rise in price.

According to me, HODL is the most important thing and must be done if the price is low. That way we will not panic in selling our digital assets. Sometimes if we use a long-term strategy it will generate a lot of profit rather than short-term.

I think if you try HODL, it starts now. Because now as we know, the price of bitcoin is cheap or low. Well Take advantage of this opportunity to become a True HODL. Use your strategy, and don't be affected by market prices there.

I was immediately attracted to this investment strategy, although trading attracted me more, because it seemed to me that it can make good money. But in the end I still chose hodl and I think I was not mistaken.

I think this is not only the most profitable, but also the most convenient and safe strategy for investment. Therefore, I adhere to it.

For those who choose investment, hold the best choice, and wait for the market to stabilize. And to trade then holding is not the best, because it is too long to get profit.

I think yes it is good and also it is very much beneficial because bitcoin is good for long term investment and holding is always profitable.

hold benefits bitcoin nt to sell of coins for less price and hold benefits for coin long terms holders but whereas in crypto we cant expect hold works they are various cases

Holding is best for long term investment , holding helps us to reduce the losing of money. I think holding is the best thing to do now because bitcoin is falling and we cant determine when will the price rises

Hold it and let your bitcoin stay in the wallet as long as you haven't made a profit, because that's the best way to invest in bitcoin. Ignore the opinions of people who can make us afraid, and stick to the principles of investment that we believe in and continue to believe that the price of bitcoin will rise again, then in time we will be happy with the benefits we get through rising bitcoin prices.

I think the HODL approach is the best way to follow. Actually i don't know any other way. I believe that the bitcoin and the cryptocurrency will live forever and every new day the usage is rasing. So before it become too late every should have bitcoin or some altcoins.

Yes, I also think that hold approach is good bitcoin because of the unpredictable market of cryptocurrency. Holding is the best option rather than trade on the market because the market fluctuation is temporary. Long-term holding is obviously good compared to day trading. I believe it is good to hold when the price goes down.

The mindset of hodlers of cryptos is for a long term investment with the possibility of higher returns or profit in an event of pumping  recall when 1 bitcoin was $1  those who bought at that price would have made huge amount of profits now that is the major reasons why many investors prefer hodling with the expectation that it will to pump to 100x, 1000x just like XRP ripple initial price was $0.03 and pump to $3.

Perhaps someone can influence us as long-term investors, but I honestly do not believe it. Therefore, I calmly use this investment strategy, as it is the most profitable for me.

I once very carefully studied a variety of investment strategies, even tried to engage in trading. But in the end I was convinced that long-term investment is still the safest and most profitable.

This is the most convenient investment strategy, because you just need to buy bitcoin and choose a reliable wallet for it. And all, you have already secured a profit, even if not immediately.

I myself have been Hodl for many years, and it gives me some high profits. Do not worry about price manipulation because by HODL your money is in the bear market and against the negative hype, you are helping to stabilize the market, and invest in the future. While a financial gain is not guaranteed, you can rest assured knowing that your money is contributing to building a valuable future, not a hype.

I think we have no choice. If the sale now means to lose and surrender. Only HODL HODL!!! The price can not fall strongly ($ 3000 is not much!) But it can grow very much.

I think the hodlers don't allow bitcoin to go even lower. They do not put pressure on the price sometimes buying off a few coins.

I think that hodl does not affect bitcoin in any way. They simply do not participate in the market, so their impact on the price tends to zero.

By hodl, the amount of supply becomes less in the market.  this will cause bitcoin to rise.

i think every investors has an objective to why he/she is investing his/her money in an investment, so whether he/she hodl or not will greatly depend on his/her objective, you are definately right about our decisions to hodl causing big companies to influence the market, but the sad truth is that one cannot be as buoyant as a company, thats why an individual will buy coins and hodl for years in order to make profit if the price goes up, but the big companies always have cash to throw around at all time.

if all investors are hodl their bitcoin then yes it surely push the price to up and make others to follow it up. if only 10% percent are hodl and the other selling it so hodl will not effecting the price of bitcoin. we need more the 50% investor to hodl it so then the price of bitcoin will up nature.

Holding is really worth because price is very volatile. You can keep holding when you want to gain good profit but make it is on potential coin. Also it is less risk on having investment for long term because price change positively as time goes by and many investors come into crypto which make good result in the market.

I have seen many investors who hold the btc for a very long time and convert them into fortunes, a lifetime return. Even I know some people who have purchased btc for 100 usd in the past and today they all are millionaires, nothing more to comment on the long run approach . I am very happy to see them prosper and enjoy  a nice future which is ahead of them .

Hold for me is a good way or technique to earn big profit here in bitcoin. Actually expert do that so they can earn a large amount of money here.

I think Right now, bitcoin scarcity is what we needed for thr bull market run.  There has been lot's of surplus mining of bitcoin in the market.  I think if there's high demand of bitcoin but little supply of bitcoin then we can have a bull market run

Those who made this strategy in the last 3 to 4 months have benefited. Unfortunately, those who took a position in the alts have lost almost 4 to 5 times their hand. After that we will live in the hands of the bull season will win the altcoins.

Well there has to be movement. Movement is important for the entire market so i can't really say that hodling is the better option. It is on an individual aspect though but probably not collectively.

in the long run, I think this is true, but not in the long term

I always incurred loss in short term and decided to hold bitcoin for long term but again i am in loss because of i bought bitcoin last year in November when market was going up and not sale when it was on its pick prices and again i am in loss and waiting for upmove.

we cannot beat big players who can manipulate the market but we can become the tail of those who follow wherever they go, when they are lucky of course we can profit too. Big players on average have an amazing strategy about the market so they are a big team that we can't possibly beat, the only one is to follow them

There are going to be only 21 million bitcoin and there are about 7 billion people, so the amount of bitcoin that each person is going to hold in the future in average is very low, a person that holds one bitcoin is going to be way above the average in the future, that is why I do not understand why people worry so much about the amount of cryptocurrency they're holding, if you're holding one bitcoin it is possible that is the only with bitcoin that you will need.

It worked for many..On this game you need to know how and when to hold to save your investment. It is also vital not to invest so much that amount of which you are not willing to loose because everything is a gambling and a matter of luck too.

No 100% guarantee.
In 10 years btc beat last years success, maybe you also wait fr 5 - 6 years.
Who ready for this ? Working 5 years for nothing

Sometimes it is good to HODL your coins but if and if that coin that you hold has a great potential to go up in a bear market. Some of those projects that are not able to continue their roadmap because of the pull of the bear market the price of their tokens are actually going to zero/inactive. This is why I cannot recommend to HODL all the time. It is still best to research on the project to know if it can face problems and provide solutions.

Many people say if you hold your bitcoin you will get much profit. Because the price will increase if we hold our coins because this is what they always say to earn and not to dumped the price.

Hodling is important to ensure that the overall price is stable, one reason why we failed to get the ETF is due to extreme volatility. If everyone traded the swings would be ridiculously large and an ETF would never be granted

I think the best way to keep securing the assets that you have when prices fall and when it is stuck at a very expensive price like this is to keep holding it until the price rises again, do not sell at cheap prices that will make you lose.

Probably yes, as we can see bitcoins price progression, it is more favor of getting high value in the long term waiting or we would say it is good for hodl. In the long run its value increases as year goes by. Perhaps it only started long time ago while its value is $0.1 and just blow up by now. Many of the investors makes millions of money out of a long term bitcoin investment.

In fact, it's the opposite.

By holding you are precisely putting your few contribution towards the stability of Bitcoin. We can't blame the people who have it and decide they want to take a risk and try to make more money. However, holding is a lot more safe.

Bitcoin is still relatively new. As soon as the mining process finishes, it can be considered a currency for everyday use without a doubt - But that will take some time still.

HODL or HOLD means keeping or holding your asset for a period of time, it's either long or short term. Generally, it affects the market liquidity if everyone tolerating this method and you're right, it just draw a good side to those who weren't especially to those who do day trading.

HODL includes the best strategy rather than selling when market prices are falling. Almost every investor uses the HODL strategy, because so far HODL's still considered the only successful property when it faces a very long drop in market prices.

In my opinion, those who hodl and wait for the price to increase, they're doing this for their own benefit, to gain big profits when they sell it. But I think it can't help to the growth of bitcoin community and it is not the purpose why bitcoin was invented.

I agree with this. It is very necessary to do things with a long process. It is very important tht you do thing long run because it will serves as a process in which if it is a long process you will learn a lot of things. This is very effective in every way. And also there is no such thing as it rise at the start therefore it really takes time.

yes of course this is a very good strategy that will bring a lot of money in the future if it is strictly adhered to

For me YES. If you really believe to the project of Bitcoin, you will hold for long term. If you really believe to the technology behind Bitcoin, then it is really good approach to HOLD is really the best for Bitcoin. You just really need patience.

that's why you need experience and knowledge, especially about technical analysis, of course every situation will be different from speculation. not all must be held in the long run, especially in a downward trend. but there can be done with full calculation and involves experience.

HODL investors are often investors who have a strong belief in bitcoins, they aren't distracted by the rumors of bitcoin prices, they are consistent with their opinions and that is what they create. Give them huge profits.

Holding your position for profits is an act of investment which bitcoin is not meant for. Bitcoin is meant for  P2P transaction for payments of goods and services but it is man made, that is holders of bitcoin that introduce this aspect of buying bitcoin and hold for the price change  so that there will be profit. With the bearish market we have since this year those that buy at dip will certainly make some reasonable profit but my heart goes for those who are holding since last year when bitcoin was above $10K they will hold for longer period hoping that the market will moon.

Hodl approach for a long time will become a great strategy to make profit without taking the risk. Not every time hodl approach will help you to make profit but most of the times it will help you to generate profit.

We all have our own strategy of trading and booking profit that's for sure and executing

That's the best thing to do whatever happens to the market if it's bad or good you should do whatever makes you feel comfortable and earn through your own ways.

HODL plus currency is to maintain confidence, do not put your cryptocurrency in the exchange's wallet, extract to the local wallet!
Forget the current bear market, after a while to check the price of the market, continue HODL!

For me, hold is one thing that I can do especially for holding bitcoin. I can hold bitcoin for a long time because I am sure that in the future, the bitcoin price can getting too expensive and makes me cannot buy a whole bitcoin indirectly. And because of that, this makes me hold as much bitcoin as I can so I can cash out my bitcoin to make big money in the future. Although it still a mystery for me about how much bitcoin price in the future, I still believe that the sky is the only limit for bitcoin price to reach.

This is my current strategy. I am buying as many AML BitCoins as I can and I am planning on keeping them for a very long time. This coin will be the best coin in the crypto market. Wait and see.

Sometimes hold can also cause losses, because we never know that prices will continue to rise or will continue to decrease or continuous moves sometimes rise high and fall or even vice versa. For that reason, the principle that I have in investing in bitcoin, when there is a profit, I will sell, then when prices go down a little and allow a price increase again, I will buy. I do it continuously, so sometimes I buy, sometimes sell, and sometimes hold, according to the conditions and situations that occur in the market.

If we look at btc's history we can conclude it's a fact that holding bitcoin pays off, the exception at the moment is if you have bought btc around 20k (realistically at 7k or above now).
But who knows what the future will bring ;)

I know holdlong approach to bitcoin as an investment is one of the safest how to invest in Crypto and be relaxed,the holdlong should be in bitcoin,then profit is sure..

It really depends on the situation. Holding doesn't guarantee a higher profit. Sometimes it is discouraging because some of the coins have no more value. So  better to be vigilant with the market fluctuations.

Holding approach to me is very important if the person holding want to HODL for the future. You can HODL for so many years and then sell when you are alright or ok with the current market price.

I believe that bitcoin is a coin that can show itself only in the long term. When investing in bitcoin you should not expect big profits right away. It is slowly being adopted in many countries is actively introduced into our lives. These and many other reasons give reason to believe that its price will rise over time and it would be wise to keep it when such times come.

Honestly I wouldn't say that it is a good approach because you're better off doing other things with your money. The difference between the lazy people and the hardworking ones is that lazy people just wait for the profit. It's not like it's promised to us that bitcoin will indeed rise in price in the future. It's possible that it will, but it's also possible that it will not. Holding is just for people that have a lot of bitcoins but doesn't want to trade. Those that are only holding a small amount of bitcoin should do trading in order to make money. You have to actively try to make money if you want to make money with little capital.

Holding is good to those that are busy with other sources of income and doesn't really mind holding for a long time. Those who are waiting for the price of bitcoin to increase so they can finally put food on their table doesn't belong here. Plus, it's only the big players who truly make money from holding anyway.

The HODLing concept works best for Bitcoin, there is no doubts about that. Bitcoin is one of the few coins on the market which takes on new price records on a gradual basis. It does not follow the trend of pump and dump which can happen within some few hours to days. Bitcoin grows gradually and as such buying it at a low price now and holding for a long term will yield a good sum of profit as its bull market approaches.

Its a matter of personal decision if one feels its better to hold fine we all can into investing in bitcoin with different strategies and differnt perspectives so what ever approach is applied is the investors business

Hodling in cryptocurrency simply means hodling despite the market price of bitcoin. Yes I think hodling will a good approach to bitcoin in that it will definitely reduce the supply of bitcoin in the market and thereby increase the demand.

HODL is a long-term investment technique, it must withstand the temptation when prices go up and stay HODL until the price is exactly what you want. Not everyone is able to use this technique, because the temptation of the need and the fear of prices falling again, so many are pursuing short-term profits, a little profit is sold, then buy again when prices go down. So on.

HODL is always the best investment method, I still say that.
I think Holding your cryptos will be the best thing you have to do for many years. You can really become rich in few months/years. Just be patient.

Of course yes! but you should still monitor the situation. Holding your coins wasn't last for a lifetime so you better observed the market.

HODL is the approach that has worked for me and I have seen it work for several people. I read a number of views where people argue greatly against HODL but I think I have a contrary view. All the time I held my bitcoin for a long time, I made good profit.

even though conditions are like anything but I'm optimistic if hold is still one of the best choices for now, we can see hold of long-term coins to get good profits that we can do and we definitely get. so I think the bitcoin hold is the best.

I think it holds the best way to save in the long run, but I also use the opportunity to sell when prices grow to make a profit. Crypto market is always changing and certainly changing strategies is also needed.

I don't think holding is working at all. Nowadays investors are simply buying and holding bitcoin for a short period and when they believe that they have made enough profits they go on to sell. The period for which they hold their crypto normally lasts for about 2-4 weeks.

Right now I can say that hodl is my right option for now since I don't have time to do day trading or even short trading, so risking my investment and waiting for the price after a year or so will be the best idea for me right now.

I think holding back bitcoin for a relatively long time is a solution to improve the market situation because with the panic of the merchant the price decreases and makes it difficult for them to obtain a maximum profit.

I think, the purpose hodl strategy is to reducing supply in market. If supply in market reduced, i am believe the price will increasing because market price always determined by supply and demand.
Hodl strategy is usefull and good approach for the price if crypto community strong and trust on their investment on bitcoin

This battle to hold 6500 is soooo interesting and dramatic.

I can hardly contain my excitement today :)

This little price today $6700 and around good think and right time to Bitcoin purchase.now Bitcoin market situation everyday going down so remember it if we have to hold Bitcoin then will come more profit.

Some think its a guaranteed thing but sadly its not, like you mentioned the hODL approach will help you most times to generate a steady and good profit.

Well for me it is a good thing to prevent the loss in your money. It will not increase your money while you are holding but if a lot of people will do hodl approach the supply will become limited.  Due to this the price will begin to rise/pump again.

Hodl approach is the best way to keep your money when the market is at bad state.

I would say you are right about it. Holding is not so good as it may only just allow others to attack the weaknesses of the newbie upon doing investments. When price are down enough such as what happened many will be leaving and selling their bitcoin in the fear that the prices will never go back up again. So we need to be wise and analytical as possible and not to get too emotional while at the same time analyzing the market to avoid so much loses.

I think the HODL approach os good for bitcoin holders and investors, because not all the time you are selling coins in the market, when there is falldown of prices especially now that the market is sufferring from price fall, so it is the time to hold our coins for the mean time so that we will not lose our gain in our capital for the price is very low when you sell coins in the market ,so holding of coins is our first defense of our investment.

to be honest, I don't really respect HOLDERS, indeed it's very good for some people but not for me. what if the price of the coin doesn't increase for the next 5 years. so I think it's better if we just set a target price, for example at the price of $ 100 the crypto-coin is sold immediately, and if you want to buy it again, the price is also how much the crypto-coin will be bought...

I don't ever care for those who suspecting big whales manipulatung the price of bitcoin, I'm still believein bitcoin by holding it in long time because if you just look back to its history you can see that its value increase in every year passed by.

I agree. People who have the stand stay on what is their perspective or what they believe. With people who sells or the panic sellers they are more likely the emotional people who goes with the flow easily or somewhat believe on not so credible things. For the market to be not volatile people should learn to hodl even of the markets downfall.

It all depends on how much you invested in bitcoins and how much you want to get from it, someone wants to just double their investments and someone multiply by times, so everything depends on the investor desires. The most important thing is always to be in the black, no matter how much, but you should always get a profit from your investments, so in how much does each person decide.

HODL is good both for you personally and to Bitcoin itself. Bitcoin's value relies on its owners. Everything is in the hands of Bitcoin holders. If they decide to dump, the value will also go down. And if they decide to buy, the price will rise. In the long run, as more and more people get to know Bitcoin, the demand will also rise. It is here where the value of HODL is clear. The demand is definitely rising, which also means a rise of its price. Look at the prices of Bitcoin over time. There is a consistent and strong rising.

Bitcoin is undergoing some changes to help increase the number of transactions it can support and that is a big step in the right direction. Who knows what in the next few years will bring privacy, resilience and usability. Holding Bitcoin for as long as an asset for you.

Yes, it makes sense to gather your thoughts and hold bitcoin a little, and it can certainly lead you to a positive result, but everything has its own risk, so be very careful! And then everything will be fine.

not really there are some instances that hodling your bitcoin is going to be bad if you see a big dip and you are losing yur investment and you invest from your savings this is going to hurt you generally it is good to hold it will force the price to increase or zoom up because nobody is selling at a price that you want.

One of the keys to HODL is to have an actual long term target in your head. If you don't, any new ATHs will make you question your position. Just don’t sell them, what’s to know?
If you’re problem is you can’t resist to sell them because you’ll get a lot of profit, just think that that profit will be way bigger in the future, if everything’s nice. Put an eye always on the news so you know when something good or bad happens, so you don’t eventually lose all your money or something, but you probably won’t.

It's not always the same with every coin. Wit bitcoin there are cases where there might be a dump coming up and you would lose you money if you hold. But in a lot of cases the prices go back up. Holding is better for long term.

I do believe in holding. I do hold crptos so many times like bitcoin, eth and of course altcoins. I am a big fan of atls and yes I do gain profit when I hold alts. I do experience holding for only 1 month coz it rise tgat fast but I know that every coin will not be always like that. Some take year or years to rise while some does not rise anymore. But i still believw in holding.

For me, it is with AML BitCoin. Once the cryptomarket is regulated, AML will be accepted everywhere.

In new finance, “hodling” refers to buying and holding a digital asset such as bitcoin with the intention to benefit from an increase in its value over the long-term as cryptocurrency adoption grows. For years, “hodling” bitcoin investors have been rewarded with exuberant returns on their investment. Since the start of the year, however, bitcoin “hodlers” have witnessed their investment taking a beating. A combination of actively-managed and passively-managed is most likely the right approach for most investors. Adding to your bitcoin holdings at the lows, selling some at the highs, and staying net long would likely be the most user-friendly and potentially profitable approach to investing in bitcoin. Moreover, buying and holding is the only rational approach in an asset as volatile as Bitcoin, where trying to time the market is nearly impossible. But, Hodlers can’t just sit idle: To maximize their risk-adjusted returns and maintain a reasonable portfolio, they need to systematically rebalance their portfolio over time. The rebalancing function forces investors to sell high and buy low, keeping portfolio allocations in check.

You can't really know how big is amount of people who hold, can you? The same with the amount of traders and dumpers. I personally think it's okay and natural how people make decisions in this field.

Yes, I think that hold for long-term is a good strategy. HODL includes the best strategy rather than selling when market prices are falling. Many of the investors make millions of money out of a long-term bitcoin investment. And many investors will hold their bitcoin for the longer period who are holding since last year when bitcoin was above $15k. Because this time is not perfect for selling bitcoin. So I will hold my bitcoin for a long time because I am sure that in the future, the bitcoin price can getting too expensive.

I will only apply the hodl approach if price dumps on me,  no one wants to sell and loose, but in other case, hodling is not the best idea for a short time trader like me.

I think the holder does not give any effect on Bitcoin in the future. The holder can even be called the holders who only ride until the Bitcoin price is higher than when they buy. Then Holder doesn't have an effect.

Why should it be easier for big players?If no one sell the price go high

Holding is not the best approach to the market as long as there is healthy buying order. If everyone decides to hold, there will be no growth whatsoever. Growth happen as people buy and sell and more when the demand is greater than supply.

Good for some active communities, because Hold is to control an unstable mentality when panic, so that input from news that has not been proven to be true will be thoroughly investigated to avoid losses in investing

iam holding most of my coins since more then 4 years now and its working great
I let them also grow slowly by lending them so its not really real holding i also let the bitcoins work XD


regards

if you don't want to lose the assets you have then the best advice and step is to get back the price to recover and yes of course hodl is the best choice for you if you are stuck at a very expensive price

If you are not looking for instant money hodl is the right thing to do. If it was September 2017. I would also advise you to hodl, sell some and hodl some. Today when prices are so low, there isn't anything you can do but hodl. You are selling it when you think it is the perfect time for you. But everyone is looking for better and higher prices I suppose. Be patient ;)

yes, holding is the good approach for Bitcoin investment. lot of people are liking it. you can earn lot of profit using it. you needed proper knowledge about it. it's depending on your skills. you can buy Bitcoin and hold it.

do not make hodling the first choice mate, unless the price of the coin you bought changes direction and starts moving up,
I will not hodl if there is a big dips will come, it's better to sell it and buy again at the price below it will be better..

First I don’t understand what you mean GOOD BITCOIN,or maybe you are referring to GOOD FOR BITCOIN?

Well supposedly bitcoin is a currency and must be used for payments from tranactions to service and product,but this is not happening instead it was being hold as an asset.

Holding makes bitcoin more valuable and you’re right.this is being abused by whales who holds large amount of bitcoin

surely because we can withstand that can get good profits and a good way to overcome the decline in bitcoin as it is today. because if we hold our bitcoin until later, the results we will get are big

if in my opinion it is sticky and very good action bro. to get a big profit when the price of bitcoin has risen again ..

We all have different strategies in manipulating bitcoin. Yes, the HODL approach is good especially to those people who are capable of a long-term investments. You can see and observe the price drop or the rising of the price. It really depends on our mind sets, it depends on your life situation. If you really need to make money why do you need to do the HODLing.

When we invest in the crypto market, we don't have to stick to one strategy only, namely HODL. There are times when this HODL strategy's combined with other strategies so that later it will be more profitable, namely by buying at low, and selling at high. Changes investment strategies too sometimes without prior planning because changes in a strategy depend on market condition and one's investment goals.

It seems to me that a long-term strategy is the most suitable strategy for bitcoin.
Manipulators are in any market, but their intentions are difficult to predict,so I think that hold-a great option.

But I do not think it will suitable with all coin, it just suits Bitcoin long-term strategy.

Holders do not make money fast but they make it - these people do not lose. If you like this approach, simply pick it and you will win. Get Bitcoin now and keep it for long.

Holding a coin determines the price that the coin can be sold. I believe HOLDING a coin raises it's price because as the demand goes high and the supply is low, those with the coin in their possession can sell it at a higher price. Holding is the best.

If we HODL a big amount Bitcoins so that the supply is low, then investor who want to own Bitcoin will buy it with high price - the price HODL accept to sell it. So on theory, if we HODL the price of asset will rise.
If you HODLING, I think you should keep HODLING, don't care about manipulators, they just manipulate in a short time..

holder will not get profit like short traders but holder will get huge % profit bcz bitcoin and other altcoin always reward people who hold long term.
hold is gold.

The choice is yours. If you do not want to be manipulated by whales you sell all your savings. The price of bitcoin has increased by 60% compared to last year. As it seems to me it's very cool. And for me there is no difference what whales do .The main thing that I get profit.

I love hodling because I dont have other strategies, Trading is risky so hodl is best for me.

perhaps this is not the best approach, but it is definitely one of the best methods in our market that gives you the opportunity to earn money and increase your capital. I invest in a long time from the first day in this market and I'm not going to change my methodology

We hold Bitcoin because we are absolutely sure that this is the most expensive cryptocurrency. BTC will be growing each year, and I think, it will reach $25K in 2019.

there'is a time bitcoin get $20k and the price now very cheap with that time. so i think we can invest and hold bro. but it's maybe dangerous

Holding is the best strategy when you work with Bitcoin. Now, I am going to hold BTC for at least a year as I believe, doing it, I will earn more money than I have invested in this cryptocurrency. I recommend you to do the same.

Actually we decided to  hold because we see the price value in the market is not so good and we are aiming fruitful profits. And this is the best strategies that we apply for this scenarios to protecting our money for the loses.

If an employee invests in bitcoin, HODL is very suitable because it is safer and does not spend time spent working. But if a trader and bitcoin trading, of course HODL is not the best strategy, because it is slow and without trading, so that bitcoin is not developed and tends to be static.

HODL is a winner in bitcoin trading, because I also hold several BTC in the long run, because I believe it has more value in the next few years

Of course the fact that many people hold helps the whales to manipulate the market as you have correctly pointed out; unfortunately is not always the best choice because look at what happened in December, those who have hodled lost an enormous quantity of money. We should learn to let bitcoin go sometimes...

if I think bitcoin is the best coin for us to hold / for long-term investment, bro. because by saving bitcoin we will get a big profit when the price of bitcoin has risen again as at the end of 2017

Temporary Hodl approach is good in a way for bitcoin price because in a way it increase the price because today most holders are selling bitcoin for various reasons like to cover there expenses and some are to invest in new ICO projects so without holders there is a possibility the price can be decrease in a high rate and that is why I have mentioned in a way it helps bitcoin to maintain its price without falling but in the long run I doubt that 

Though investing was not part of bitcoin from beginning because bitcoin was made for P2P transactions. But since the community have decided to introduce investment to bitcoin then you have to make profit when you have invested. You can not invest in bitcoin and sell off at a loss so you must hold to make sure that you make profits. Holding in bitcoin is good so that you wait with patient till your profit emerge.

Hold strategy is good, but not the best. it is best to convert to fiat. it will calm down. You are right. doing hold is helping whales make new prices. and for sure the price goes up. so crypto users are expected to keep holding the coins they buy, especially bitcoin. so that prices can create new levels above. I believe Hodl is good for making the Bitcoin pump market. so keep holding for the long term.

This is wrong. Big players can greatly manipulate the market if they have significant amount with them. HODL on the other hand prevents this from happening so I do not know hodl can cause big players to manipulate the market.
Perhaps we can't restrict people from doing so since they are entitled to their personal decisions

I still think this is the best investment strategy. Yes, perhaps it is not very good for bitcoin as a currency, but you will agree that it is a great option for earning money.

Maybe someone really has the ability to manipulate the market, but I prefer not to pay attention to it. Anyway, this strategy is much more profitable than trading or mining, at least for me.

If you manage to trade, then of course you can focus on the trading strategy. But I get only losses in this way, so I prefer hold. And despite its some drawbacks, I will still continue to use this investment strategy.

I’m saying that if you want to make a big profit, then you have to go. When you buy Bitcoin at a low price, you need time to increase the price. If you sell your coins, you’ll wait for Bitcoin to be much more expensive than it is now.

There's nothing wrong with HODLING. You just don't want to pressure yourself from the stressful market and if you think that its easy for the big investors/traders to manipulate the market, can we do something about it? there's no way for us to stop them. Because we are just small traders/HODLERS.

We are reducing the supply in the ecosystem if we keep on holding so basically we are making the demand higher and what you think about that? is that a good approach?

https://abp.bjammerboy.io/6699/5104718

Yes, the absolutely hodl approach is good for bitcoin. If you want to make a profit without taking the risk then hodl approach is the best thing.

Well in my opinion it is,  i've read some statements that it is easy to manipulate by others,  its a pyramiding. If someone lose money then someone will gain it.  Also I read that if someone investment at a minimum amount of 10k then you will received 4500.

So I think to skip the moment of losing money it is better to do the hodl approach. In this case I will not lose money in my investment.

Holding is pretty much the next best thing you can do if you're not into day trading. This is because the only way you can get profit from not trading is holding the tokens you have and then waiting for the price to go up and the sell. But for me, trading is still the best way to get a lot of profit.

It depends on the moment, on the long term holding usually pays but after a big run it's better to take a risk and sell in my opinion, we've all seen what happened last January.

good enough than panic sell.
but it will be the same if everyone only holds bitcoin, the market will not move. at least have to buy bitcoin to increase the market cap of bitcoin and make bitcoin back at the pump.

For me, this is the right approach. Just get as many AML´s as you can and keep them for a very long time because this coin is taking the world by surprise. AML BitCoin rests on a privately regulated public blockchain that facilitates AML-KYC compliance and identifies criminals associated with illicit transactions while maintaining and strengthening the privacy protections for legitimate users.

The hold approach in bitcoin, are not totally good at all times, this hold approach can be used efficiently when time comes that the market price value ,is falling down or it is in the bear market seasons when prices is dropping very quickly, so you got to hold your tokens for a while to avoid investment loses.

The people who hodl usually are those who don't know how to trade, or that don't want to take any risk since bitcoin could rocket without any particular reason. I think that from time to time is good to sell some and get some fiat.

Bitcoin is very good in the long run. But do not wait for profit in a few months, it is necessary to wait a few years for profit.

The hold is good for people who don't know about bitcoin, and he doesn't have time to learn more about cryptocurrency especially about bitcoin. Besides that, he doesn't think about the fluctuating of the price, and he only knows that he invest in bitcoin for a long time. But for the trader, I think he has two option that he can make related to this which is he can trade bitcoin for daily, weekly, or few days and he can also hold bitcoin especially if the price is down. But for me, the hold is a good decision because I don't make a big profit if I sell a big amount of bitcoin and I prefer to hold until the price increase back.

Many people say if you hold your bitcoin you will get much profit. Because the price will increase if we hold our coins because this is what they always say to earn and not to dumped the price.

I think the HODL approach is the most ideal approach to pursue. As a matter of fact I don't have a clue about some other way. I trust that the bitcoin and the cryptographic money will live always and each new day the utilization is rasing. So before it turn out to be past the point of no return each ought to have bitcoin or some altcoins.

With the activity of Bitcoin, it can be said that it will make a change, But this will not run easily because Bitcoin has a difficult period that must be passed now.

This is true in the market of cryptocurrencies and especially in bitcoin, this is something that is very difficult to understand because people that do not believe in what cryptocurrencies can achieve will never be able to hold her coins for as long as long term holders can, that is why many people prefer to become traders or short term investors that way when things go wrong they can sell their investment for a small loss.

at December 2017 people spoke differently

It's truth, but you wouldn't be holding then - It would be some kind of trading. The best money is definitely on trading if you educated yourself and you know what you're doing. Also if you don't sell on loss.

Holding is a pretty safe option if you know what you want - But long term investments are not for everybody, it takes a really good amount of self control to be able to survive that time. Smart people will do something else and focus their attention there while holding and using some of that money to continue buying Bitcoin.

Every Bitcoin investor cannot thrive without exercising patience. It is through patience that Bitcoin investors tend to HODL. Bitcoin is one of the very few coins performing incredibly well on the market yet takes time to gradually rise on the market. Bitcoin does not follow the pump and dump trend, hence rises gradually on the market.
Holding Bitcoin especially when the price goes down is the best thing to do as you wait for the bull market.

I personally have been hodling Bitcoin for a period of time (>2 years), and there is no reason for me not doing so for the foreseeable future.  I would buy more if the price keeps going down.
Keep in mind,very few people can make a profit in trading anything including Bitcoin.
Comparing to the whales, a retail investor lacks all the resources that can help him/her to consistently win in trading.
So my thoughts is that, hodl if you have believes in Bitcoin,  and it is the best approach for retail investors, IMHO.

I always think that holding bitcoin now is the right attitude and action bro. because buying bitcoin now the price is down. so it will be a good opportunity. to get profits when the price of bitcoin has started to rise again

even in my opinion to hodl you need a lot of knowledge about crypto, because price changes might make you panic if you don't have more knowledge about crypto and the market? you can't say that hodling is only for people who don't have knowledge mate, because hodlng or trade need knowledge

Regardless of market fluctuations by HODL your money in the bear market and against the negative hype, you are helping to stabilize the market and invest in the future. While a financial gain isn't guaranteed, you can rest assured knowing that your money is contributing to building a valuable future, not a hype.

hmm, if that was the reason then we should think another business for life and food etc. I think this could be second source of rely income.

I think at the present time we should all HODL Cryptos that we own not just bitcoin. In order to grow your Bitcoin number, you should have clear investment strategies that will bring you a lot of profits.

My principle in investing in bitcoin is not to sell before getting a big profit, just leave it and keep patiently waiting even if you have to wait a long time. For that, of course, for me, holding back is the best way to avoid the risk of loss in bitcoin investment.

Hodl can be good if you are an investor who has a lot of money to invest and you have many ways of earning. But if you don't have enough money to invest and wait for a longer period of time. You have to think hard to generate daily profits, that's what happened to me, I sold a portion of my assets to take part in several ICO projects, and it managed to cover my daily needs.

My mate made capital on hodling at the right time. I' m just too nervous to HODL, so I'm trading. It's rather time-consuming, but the good point is that it's the only thing I do for living now and that's enough for me.

I believe that long - term investments in bitcoin will give a good result. In the long term, bitcoin will grow, despite the fact that compared to last year, its price has fallen.

Still for me holding bitcoin is the best strategy to approach this number one coin

Maybe this may sounds bias but i hold my bitcoins for long and you can take it from me

And besides bitcoin is not good for daytrading because this is a slow moving cryptocurrency and you cant even gain 5%per day.

Of course, the HODL approach is good to bitcoin because it helps the price of bitcoin more stable. If HODL already help maitain the market up to now

There is nothing you can do that will be bad for Bitcoin. Do whatever suits you best. You need to feel comfortable with your actions on the market.

I can't really get you. How can anyone manipulate the price if we hold bitcoins. Even if there are a lot of holders for bitcoins, many prefer trading for bitcoins in short terms. Bitcoins are grown to a wide range now and it is nearly impossible bto manipulate the price for them as you mentioned. Bitcoin markets depends on demand and supply factor. Even if we hold bitcoins, it gets ahead into the demand part. Demand still stays high even if most of peoples are hodling them.

This might not lead for a price manioulation indeed.
Only the ones who are trading on with bitcoins in short terms get the right to play with the price and the rest who are holding has to simply wait and keep an eye on the price to grow up.

Actually it depends much on the current situation that lead one to a suitable method. We can’t deny that Hodl is one of the best option when the market drops continually and dramatically. But you have to be more flexible, you should keep analyzing the market in order that you can commit some another measures. Don’t Hodl for a very long time, because as I think if so, plus to unluck, you probably get into a big loss. So sometimes Hodl may bring you serious trouble. Anyway, besides hodl, definitely we have many other solutions, don’t just set your mind in hodl way when market is in dip. You’d better capitalize on hodl then keep finding a new solution.

I think so too, because few people have a lot of bitcoins, because price is too big! And whales have more chances to play dirty games

Traditional investors treat HODL investors as maniacs who buy and store cryptocurrencies regardless of price. But this method is the only rational approach to such a volatile asset as bitcoin is. In the cryptocurrency market, all attempts to choose the right time to buy are obviously doomed to failure.

For me it is the right approach. I am getting as many AML BitCoins as I can and I will keep them for a very long time. I know this coin will make it to the top spot.

For me it is the best thing to do. Once regulations are done AML BitCoin will be accepted everywhere. This is the only compliant coin with AML and KYC.

some times HOLD your bitcoin when the price is down is good, sometimes we can see that the price of bitcoin increase after dropping, just wait a day or 2 day, but sometimes we can see that the price of bitcoin is dropping more and more when we HOLD, so before you hold you should know about the furure of bitcoin, make a prediciton and anything else

if we HOLD the coins means the supply rate of the coins is decrease, then the investors who want buy the coins will buy at high price and this trick will leads to increasing the price rate of coins.

I guess some investors would have no choice but to hold the bitcoins in their bitcoin wallet if they do not wish to make a loss by selling away their bitcoins they purchased at a much higher price, I am also holding my bitcoins at this moment as I have purchased a few bitcoins when the price is much more higher than the current selling rates on the trading market now, so I would say holding is a very good choice if the traders do not wish to lose any money that they invested into bitcoin.

Certainly, HODL approach is completely good bitcoin as it help to maintain unchanged prices in the market.

HODL!

What other option a person has who is irelevant, who has a tiny share in that particular Cryto, HODL is the only way to keep your sanity, and creating a positive environment.

BTC

HODL is the best strategy if you know you are a bad trader or if you discover it trading bitcoin

BTC

HODLing Bitcoin makes it harder for manipulators to maniulate the price action. Manipulators make money when people are buying in fomo or selling in fear. HODLig is pretty neutral.

Holding is better and mining also very important because holding coins in wallet is not produce coins, so while holding we should also mine the coin. if  supplying of coins decrease then coin price will increase.

Bitcoin is one of the secured crypto investment because of its large investor-support base. Bitcoin does not follow the pump and dump trend as most coins do, hence it takes time for Bitcoin to take on new giant price records on the market. One of the best approaches to make the best out of Bitcoin is to HODL and wait patiently for its bull run.
