Since the last week the price of bitcoin and all the crypto currencies were falling too much,me and lot of other normal small scale investor affected very large by this price fall.Many people saying that this current price fall is due to BCH hashrate war so what we can do now to minimize our losses other than saying the words HODLing as a community?

If you feel the price will further deteriorate and you feel you wanna cut down on possible loss,then you can also sell off right now, hodling is just the best way to see if maximizing profits could be on the card soon,its not a must/compulsion...

With the number of threads about the bitcoins price this week, it seems most traders are panicking,or is it simply the noobs who got onto the investors train recently...

It's true that the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are dumping low however it's not exactly going down isn't? there are also ups and downs while the price is dumping. It's still volatile after all what you can do about it is that you should take advantage at the low highs and downs of the cryptocurrency or in other words is the day trading wherein you're going to buy today and sell it today that's why it's day trading (Not sure about it) the sure thing i know is that we can still earn even the price is falling.

Absolutely nothing to say than HODL. The bearish market is so disheartly, that rendered many plans to their background, especially the plans for Xmas celebration and new year, loses has already be incur but the only option for holders is HODL. 

No , only stupid people have no other options except hodling.

Sell at the market rate and then buy back later when the price is even lower is what alot of people are doing.

Some are doing this with their entire amount others are doing a ½ to ¼ % of their total as they are uncertain.

One thing is for certain they are alot calmer than the hodl only crowd that just keeps losing with each support level breaking.

*Learn how to play the Game , so the Game does not Play You.*

FYI:
If you can't afford to lose it all , you were over invested to start with and need to take enough off the table that you can afford.

Now it's too late to sell, so it remains only to wait for that moment when the bulls will return to the market again since we have fallen very much this month.

I think there is no compulsion to sell it, it all depends on each principle, if they feel doubtful, it's better not to wait.

First of all, we should not panic! All things in economy have theirs ups and downs and we should know it and just learn more information about bitcoin.

Not much really, it's to late to do anything now.
If we sell now, we will go out with huge losses.
It's also difficult to trade since all coins going down.
The best strategy is usually diversification but not diversification with different crypto.
We need real diversification with investments in crypto, stock markets, other businesses etc.

Sell there isn no point of holding bitcoin now where you can see market price still dipping. You cab buy out later and gain more bitcoin then hold it again. There is no really point of holding bitcoin when you can see obvious market trend and taking advantage on it is the best thing to do. Buy out at the lower market price as much as possible for you to earn more in the near future.

Do buy bitcoin in addition to hold. Bitcoin price drops meaning more profits again to gain once it pumps. Don't listen to FUDsters that do panic selling and promoting dump just because the price drops. Wait a several weeks or months and bitcoin will return skyrocketing.

Yes, i also believe that. But not 100%, since i believe this time it may take few months and not weeks.

What you choose to do as a result of this price drop is up to you. HODLing should be the answer for a bitcoin enthusiast because the price will definitely recover in future. If you sell at a loss, wise people are buying. This will make a difference between the future millionaires and those who will regret.

other word than saying the HODL? CUTLOSS your investment and trading activity and quit from bitcoin if you dont believe anymore with bitcoin, but if you still believe in bitcoin, you should HODL your bitcoin and the other cryptocurrency

Good comparison dude lol. But seriously, i think some people have gotten used to looking at a few months when they say hodl. If you treat it as an investment, then you'll know that bitcoin hasn't reached it's full potential yet so this drop is irrelevant a few years from now. And i don't think there's much of a choice anyways unless  you want to exit crying.

At the moment on bear market we can stop our short term trading and we can focus on technical analysis learning. Also we can research about hidden gems on market for long term investment.

Don't just say HODL. Just HODL. There's just no other way. Unless you want to be a daredevil and day trade at this time.
If you cannot stomach the market crashing then just stay away from your computer or uninstall all your crypto apps  ;D

What I'm most wondering about is that people keep saying the price will rise by the end of the year. It's almost the end of November now yet the price of bitcoin continues to fall down. Should we just get used to this kind of price range and hope that next year will be better?

I think what we can do now other than saying hodl is have more and more patient for the market. It's also an opportunity to buy more and more shit coins into our various wallets against the bull market run.

When you say minimize your losses, the "action is to dumped" at the current rate and wait for more dips to acquire more or just a simple exit.

Will you do that? After price decrease for over $2,000 people will just think of dumping it now? Well they can if they want as we have different approaches on how to deal with the current situation but for me, I already put all my stash on risks and gambled on it because Im here already. It's a non sense for me if I will dumped some just to have a purpose of "minimizing the losses".

What to do now other than hodling? Since the purpose is just to hold and let's say people can't handle much the current situation then then take a break at the moment or people can put some extra bucks for buyback. They may also put their time on other activities as well that will give them more resources. Playing with crypto is not just the activity that we can do.

We need to think outside the box rather than just to follow other people's advice.

if you bought in with aa higher prize then now then there is the only way to stay with you investment.
How wanna sell with looses  ??? Hodel is the only way for mosts.


regards

If you feel confident that the market will fall, you can sell to minimize your losses. But for me, I still choose to hold on, even though holding for now is difficult, but I still believe that in the future it will be very profitable.

I want you to know that change is always constant and I wont blame the whole down trends market on BCH hashrate because BCH has no issue with the crypto market status because the down trend market was something I have predicted base on the fundamental analysis of the market each year when crypto market correction occurred.

I think the best thing to do now is to be patience, confident and give the 100% trust to your investment because it is one way to avoid worries.

Simply say "Keep It".

You can either go out with a big loss or keep what you have and forget about it until one day you find out the advance in value is extraordinary.

gotta keep hodling and never look back. the crypto winter is here and theres nothing we can do about that

If you don’t want to lose big money, then holding is the only option which is more effective. We don’t know when the price of bitcoin to recover so having more patience will save you from losing big money, patience might be hard right now but that is the best thing that you must have.

Aside from saying hold, maybe its better to say add more bitcoin!
If I have the money right now, I will choose to buy more bitcoin because I know this is not the end and cryptocurrency will not be gone for good, this is just a big time correction. I’m still looking for a more greendays to come, soon we will reach the peak price again and many businesses will continue to adopt this system.

In any case there is no stable value for Bitcoin and accordingly it is unknown where it will stop maybe tomorrow Bitcoin will be a worthless asset.. If you have invested as much as you can risk I recommend you hold it because already you afford to lose and there is also a chance of earning as much as the chance of losing.

In my understanding,  I think the current  bear market situation is most likely  being manipulated  by whale investors which cause the crypto market to dive low. I believe that the best strategy for now is to hold your cryptos and just need to extend your patience. Other than that, if you still believe that  cryptos will spike again,  I would suggest that this could be the right time in buying more at a lower price.

And how can you miniature those losses?
Well you could always sell if you want to. That is your bitcoin and no one can go against it if you decide to really sell it now.
It will be a good decision if it falls again and you buy back but do you know what is going to happen later or tomorrow?
That is the best use of HODLing. We really do not know where it will go so we just stand firm and have faith with bitcoin.

But I got some tip for you though. It will be a no brainer to sell it. You have been thru a lot. Time to think twice and maybe have a better choice than just to panic and sell it.

If you are afraid of price going down just sell it and stop worry about it. I stop caring about the price long time ago. I did invest more that I could afford to lose at one point and was freaking out so I sold at loss some of my investment and what is left Im totaly relaxed to lose it all!

yes, hold is our choice, and now is not a good time to buy bitcoin, because the decline will still occur.

so, I think that when the hash battle stops, then it's a good time to buy more bitcoin.

That's all we have left. We can minimize our losses only by selling our assets. But in today's situation it is impractical. If you are not sure that the coin can survive, then sell it. But it is best to remain calm and wait for growth.

The people who are confident will be trading in this current market and
most likely are making gains but the real gain was selling when the
price broke from $6500 and unless you know hiw to trade the best
option is to hold or buy a bit is another option.

Right, our choice is to hold rather than selling with too much loose. This moment that price drops very low we can also wait to buy since we do not know at what rate is the bottom. So our options is hold for those who can still wait.

I don't think that falling dump of bitcoin effect of bch trend going into skyrocket, lets take lookk the price of bch after the bitcoin price dumped bch follow and the whole altcoin goes dump their price.
Ofcourse hold is the way to avoid loses

I have never been a fan of hodling, because I consider that for the market to recover we as investors have to do much more than save the coins and wait for it to magically raise the value, personally during these falls I like to buy, whether alts or btc, but I buy to diversify my portfolio, I also do trading but a little because it is risky at this time.

There is loads of ways how to earn money even on falling markets . Lets say you short BTC with leverage on time then you could make fortune . But ofcourse leverage make it more risky . On Bitmex you can leverage x100 on some coins , not sure if on bitcoin , but yeah people earn money even on falling markets . Just needs some graph reading expierience if that helps ofcourse =D as i dont believe in graph reading for crypto currently :)

I did not get your point, how dare you say bitcoin will be a worthless asset tomorrow and give advice to people to hold it? ??? Sounds the same as they will kill themselves rather than earning from that. You should say the opposite if you advice people to hold them.

The world is juzt a free one and you think you too choked by this current price just go ahead and sell and if not then we better stay together as one and make the worldknow the reality of bitcoin that anything is possible not just rise rise in prices.

another way is to wait for the right time for entry, because if we misstep the entry trading even in a market we can consider dip, it can be very dangerous because what is feared is that this dip can still continue. Stop loss is also not really good but if at this time do you still not want to take this option?

if you are a good investor and trader, and still believe in bitcoin and cryptocurrency, the best way is to buy more and more bitcoin and cryptocurrency, so when the price is increased, you can get profit

My take is different. A lot of hedge funds got into bitcoin towards the end of last year. But now that the stock markets are falling (tech stocks are in a bear market), they're trying to liquidate stuff to raise cash for investors who want to cash out of the fund.

Lol if you predict the price will worhtless in the future, why do you suggest to holding? of course it will only be in vain right? if you are looking for a way other than holding it, then you can use stop loss but make sure that you sell it when there is signal for prices drops back down again

Beside hold, we can buy more bitcoin because the price is at a low price. Besides that, I think if the price still moving down to up and down again, it means there is a gap between the down, up, and down and we can try to get the profit. But it is too risky because we can be stuck in the high price and we can difficult to sell it unless to cut loss.

Other than holding everyone says that we can do day trading to minimize the loss from the profits on daily trade but I don't think it will be a solution as community.If we still holding means some people use this to dump and bump the prices and making profits with our holding. ???

there is nothing you can do anymore when prices fall like this, just holding the assets you have is the best way and avoiding the risk of more losses, you better keep holding back and try to look for other activities that can give you a little profit or look for activities the other positive.

Well they're wrong, so no point listening to whoever is saying that.


Wait for the bottom to be clear and buy more... this isn't difficult to figure out.

i think you have got the right spirit for this kind of situation, i am also part of the small scale investors but i don't see this as a lose but rather an opportunity to store up more bitcoin and wait patiently for a price pump, though am not aware when this pump mayb occur but am very certain bitcoin will rise again.

Hodling may not be a problem for those who invested their cryptocurrencies in long term but those who don't want to hold any longer then they may opt for a cut loss instead. During long price downtrend, there's no better choice but to hold if you still want to earn profits. But if you have still some funds that you been set aside for crypto investment, then try to more coins while they are still at low price.

It takes those with large quantity of bitcoin to make impact in the market so the best thing to do now is to buy more bitcoin in order to use it and make possible impact in a time like this.

The only solution to save yourself from loss is holding because bitcoin market is crash and people bought bitcoin at high price and one thing more bitcoin analyst predicted that it will go to moon again soon by the end of this year or starting of 2019 so must hold your coins for at least 2-3 months otherwise you will regret later.

 Good to be an optimistic mate, because many people attached by the FUD news on which they are on panic selling and it is a big loses they've commit in cryptocurrency. Whereas,  grabbing this opportunity has a certain output when we keep holding it with a wide patience. And I recommend holding is the best way among all aspects we could do.

Formulating new strategy to deal this deep bearish market is necessary to minimize lose as long as possible. Avoiding huge loses through effective development of new approach how to survive could be hold or sell. Hold now is depends to everyone who are affected with this crash.

I believe that moment is a growth and hence spending cryptocurrency without converting it into any other form is the best possible way to contribute to the growth of it. Remember that Bitcoin is valuable today just because the early adopters decided to use their funds as a payment system instead of looking at it as the speculation instrument. Now it is our responsibility to do the same and it will improve the utility value of it over the period of time.

If it is potential coin that you hold, continue waiting and buy more volume as well as you can benefit when the price pump but if not then you need to cut your lose before it become more worthless. Bitcoin is good coin so do not give up on it easily, take opportunity on the suddenly on the sudden down and do not contribute on much fall but help the market either.

If you are not interested to hold then you should do your own research and analysis for what actually you want to do. The crypto market is still bleeding and price going down day by day. So it is too late already if you cut down your losses you should wait for a little more I think. But it's up to you mate.

I believe many investors are too afraid to pump in more of their own money into the crypto-currencies trading market at the moment, the situation now is quite bad, there are just way too much negative news surrounding crypto-currencies at this moment, and I think it would take some time before the whole trading market stabilizes again.

If we can't HOLD Bitcoin or Ethereum then we should buy other cryptocurrency like Ripple, If we can't!
Then sell at the current price move on and try to get job in pizZa shop, hope you will earn morr money than investing on crypto.  ::)

If that is not difficult to find out,you know the bottom already?

I thought that the bottom price of bitcoin for this year will be $6000 range since we have strong resistance at that point for too long but now it is at about $4000 so I am not clear about the bottom yet.

there is nothing else that can be done but we wait for this to end, maybe indeed the only thing we have to believe is to keep holding the coins we have and hope the market will not dip deeper.

I think it will be better if you research and study the market very well. Its really hard to reduce losing money and we cant stop other people saying holding is the only option because I think it is. Rather than that , this time that the bitcoin is in a deep downfall we can take this opportunity to invest and buy more bitcoins. Never feel hopeless because we can get through this.

You can trade, you can buy and hold, and you can score at all and go away from the market, sometimes this is the best option.

If you have been Hodling you should stick on your plan, specially on this bear run in the market. But i am sure that yo know that the risk becoming bigger than ever. The BTC price is falling and no one can stop it in 3 days.. I would never think that the price could arrive 4k line.. So everything can be happen now, the price could recover yes but what if fall more? Won't you be regret that you had hodl? Very hadr to say anything now, we just should be more carefull..

can only wait and continue to monitor market movements, I myself cannot do any speculation other than holding and waiting for the moment to buy bitcoin again. but the problem is we are still in the zone of rumor decline.

save to fiat , if you really dont want to HODL , and keep focusing on news about BCH hardfork and stuff on that , hope it can make any profit

HODL or selling assets owned by everyone is different. It depends on the ability and experience that is owned by each individual. As long as we feel good at the Hodl, please hold it. If the opposite is good for sale, please sell it. Why must be according to our wishes? because the profit and loss that we bear is ourselves. Other people will not bear our loss

indeed now I think we have to hold. because the current situation does not allow us to sell the coins we have. because of the unstable situation. then we really have to wait patiently.

The thing that we can do right now is still holding because it help you to cut your losses and once the price goes up you will regain all your losses. Even we are affected by that war we should be remain calm and believe that the price will go up again.

everything in cryptocurrency is very uncertain and anything can happen, in my opinion the price of bitcoin will continue to decline because it is still not encouraging to support the cryptocurrency rise from this slump.

when the price of the cryptocurrency falls like this maybe what you can do is wait until the price rises again, when the price at the exchange is dumping the trend it will be difficult to make a profit.

There only one obvious thing you can do if you do not want to hold you can sell off but at the moment making profit now from selling off is quite unrealistic so it's very much advisable to hold

As in the whole year, and as in the stock market, there are also strategies to implement during a bear market, in addition to hodl which is what most recommend because it does not require a lot of effort, you can also be doing trading if you plan to engage in cryptos or simply investigate ICOs and try to invest while they are cheap.

if I do what I do besides HODL is to let myself and look for other income such as participating in bitcoin trading and others that are not legal, of course thank you

what I do not use the HODL method is to make money on my own and let the time answer the HODL question and I think I don't have to be a monotonous person I have to be flexible

Holding is the best way to reduce loss and make profit even if the price is very low at the moment.  Holding your coin till the price rises will save you from running at a loss.

we see the development of bitcoin at this time in the market is experiencing a decline in prices so that investors and crypto users are made into a frenzy in making profits because the market is so unstable to this day that we better save our assets in a long time crypto prices have improved again.

To prevent further losses you can switch to stable coins like tether, but when the market bounces back you might get caught out. Tough one to call, hodl is the easier option

"Many people say that prices are currently falling due to BCH" which is not possible because of BCH, actually the price is indeed deteriorating, not because of other coin eyes, I think this is the effect of a lack of demand by people.

There's something called swing trading.
In the suituation such as this, when the price of cryptocurrency is nosediving lower, my strategy has been always to swing trade.
Take opportunity of the situation and sell my holdings then buy back , most times I buy more than the quantities I was holding initially.
That way losses could be curtailed .

We can do nothing. We can only wait for the market to start growing again. For example, I did not go out of their investments. And if I did not come out in a minus, it means I have not lost anything yet.

the situation is as such you cannot do anything at this time if you do it you will be in a huge loss I think there is no other option rather than holding.

In my opinion, we, as a community, can really do nothing, moreover, in order not to sell our bitcoins. If the whales (or the whole community) now start buying thousands of Bitcoins,  it can give a real impetus to the growth of prices. In the meantime, this doesn't happen, and we are in the situation that is today.

One question we should always ask ourself is who buys when we dump,  when bitcoin is dipping you find out that people are buying,  you listen to FUD and dump who is the person that is buying from you? now the honest truth is you are actually selling your wealth to the whales. OK since you think bitcoin is dying why are the whales buying do you think they want to lose? Or you think you are wiser and smarter than them?  the simple truth is that they understand the game more than you. But for me I'm not really after the value right now, I'm actually after the quantity ( the unit)  for now the future will determine the value. Thank you

I don't think there are better options than to keep holding your coins. I am sure that the price will recover and grow, so do not sell bitcoin at such a low price.

What else do we have to do? Just keep holding the coins and also buy some more coins if you have extra money as very low price allows you to do it quite profitably.

I have now transferred all my coins to bitcoin, as I am confident in it most of all and continue to hold it. I do not see the best options in this market situation. Only HODL and abstaining from any sales.

I believe that now is not profitable to sell your coins to lock in losses. The market will return, so now it is necessary to prepare for this. Dont panic. Take this situation as an opportunity to buy a promising cryptocurrency at a very favorable price.

Many are worrying about the dumping of the bitcoin value. Yes the others including me and the big time investors didn't  know on what is the right thing to do regarding of the continues falling of the value but the other we need to be patient and always taking a risk because in this year is the year of falling we hope that the next coming year it will rise again. We need to hold and invest because the value was fall and wait and hold for the coming year of rising.

Exactly.This time is not really a time of depression for us since we can turn this bearish moment into its advantage.Buy more potential coins while their prices are at their lowest.I think this bearish market is just temporary so we should grab all the chances today that will make us millionaires in the near future.

Because now bitcoin and Ethereum price is so cheap that we can't sell them at all. I decide to that I will hold my altcoins and bitcoins till 2019 February.

unfortunately nothing else. we have to wait and believe in cryptocurrency and Bitcoin because we can’t influence the market

i think there is nothing than holding in this field, holding is the best way to earn good money.

HODL is the only thing that can be done right now!
Extract the cryptocurrency into your local wallet and delete the exchange's app~
After a while, pay attention to the market of cryptocurrencies!

Yes I agree with you, this time is good time to buy more potential cryptocurrency because the adoption of it in the community will be continuously growing all over the world on which can possibly cause anytime a big pump on the market that's why we should be hold more and not to sell it because it can possibly missed an opportunity to earn a huge profit in the future.

For the current situation it is indeed very terrible if we look at the Bitcoin market situation which is very sharply decreasing. Obviously if we experience buying at a high price and now the price is declining, the main key is to hold until the price rises again, but for Bitcoin it is very difficult to rise quickly if it has declined like now, but I am sure Bitcoin will not die, we must be patient with the current situation.

For the short term, there seems to be no hope, but you don't have capital. Because if you sell now, what you get is a big loss. Hope your colleagues have confidence in the process of growing bitcoin.

That is why it is not good to focus to only one business. Crypto business is good but then it is not always on our side all the time. It is not always harvest time. It is always advisable to have multiple sources of income and not just focus on crypto. Its good to have digital but its best also to have physical investments.

Promoting bitcoin is a one major thing that most can do to provide benefits for both the currency and users instead of HODL but Current market prices are much low so most buy more and keep more holding until bitcoin reach its highest possible price with the hope the price will increase in the near future.
Even I am not a good short term trader so that is the only best thing even I can do to get significant profits and have heard many does that in large scale and in trading terms I think it is a good practice because when majority of selling due to the high price drop it is very easy to buy more for cheap price but it will never give anything more to bitcoin and its future so it will remain the same as before without any practical use so something different has to be done if this situation to change for better

If you choose to sell your cryptocurrencies at this moment, you have most definitely lost money already. Your cryptocurrency can remain intact in your wallet if you have the patience and this can make you smile in the future. Always remember that the price of cryptocurrency will not keep falling.

We can certainly be patient and don't ever get the idea to be panic in this situation. After all, our attempt of doing something won't be very significant to Bitcoin.


Agree with this. People who have been investing all their money on crypto is somewhat like a fruit picker who only has 1 tree to harvest, it does work for some point, but when the season ends, it's also the end for him. However, some people somehow manage to survive on investing only in crypto. How do they do that? Well, we're not really sure.

what we can do now to minimize our losses other than saying the words HODLing as a community?

You can start to sell everything in a panic, and crush the price of bitcoin so low that even investors and whales will have to start selling everything. Well, the second option is to sit and wait.

Nothing much, the situation is sad.
Wecan just hope that his was a postive event and did shake off speculators and only long term investors is to come now.

To me it is too late to do anything, if you realize that the price is going down too fast a good option is to get out of the market until things become less volatile or you exchange your cryptocurrencies for some of the stable coins that are in the market, however that requires a good knowledge about trading and investing, something that not everyone has and you risk losing even more money by doing that.

  With this current situation of crypto market specially in bitcoin i think we can do more other than saying Hold is Buy more. Let's grab the opportunity that bitcoin price fall a little because it is still volatile even it going down still it go up and down. It will not stay at the bottom,it will climb back soon...so much better to invest more now.

We can scream BUY!!!Now it's just all or nothing!This is an epic moment in the history of cryptocurrency.Either we have a good shop and all together is going to be rich.Or in a panic sell for pennies last and all will remain devastated and very upset.I propose to join hands and turn the situation in a positive direction by joint efforts.

Never ever do just HOLD your token, make it something out of it.
Sell your tokens with no future, nor a non-active ICO team.
Buy more potential tokens in the market.
At this season with red-blooded market, buy more great tokens and keep it.

I would just wait another month or two and buy as many bitcoin i can , when bitcoin will start bull market will take all the altcoin down like it was last years , do you remember?

There are some problems that the bitcoin facing today, so that the price of bitcoin is also affected to that, although the price of bitcoin is in low price, tha tdoes not mean that bitcoin is fading now, for me just hold your bitcoin first and be updated to what is happening to bitcoin while waiting, try to do something productive.

Say BUY! Only buying can safe crypto and no matter which coin exactly. Today's prices are really attractive to invest a little.

In addition to hold, you can also TRADE. November 20, the spread of BTC was about $ 500. So those who are scalping, are received a good profit. Of course, such trade requires good knowledge and experience, but it also brings a good profit.
If people don't want to learn to make a profit always, with any trend, then they I can advise for them only hold.

Hold an important word and always mention it
We must also motivate each other in the battle to raise awareness
Awareness of crypto must be widespread. This is the solution
You also have to beware of selling panic because it is a loss for all.

I think it's very clear when doing HODL that you have to do it is wait until the price goes up and then sell it, because the basis of HODL is patience to achieve a profit.

But sincerely many do get upset when they hear of holding but that is all we could do for now. Selling our BTC and other Alts will not fetch us much and even bring some loses to some individual at the moment. In order to prevent this all you could do is to hold on things might just change for the better.

If you got investment to invest then it is very good time, apart from that holding is the only option that should be done as if you sell now you get only 10 to 20% of the total investment.

If you don't have day trading skills then there is hardly any other way to get crypto even when the market goes down. It remains to use the strategy of the hold.

What else can you do aside hodling in this current market situation? Or you want to also sell of at cheap price and run at loss? Perhaps, you can Tether your coins if you cannot hodl them due to panic. The market will recover irrespective of how the bear market present itself now.

If you think HODL can benefit your hold coins, be patient enough to wait for thr right time to sell or trade your coin. And if you have also enough capital to buy more coins, buy some more for the future investments. You can also sell now your coins if you think you will earn profit even less, or sell now if you are afraid of continious decreasing price.

I absolutely agree with you. It is not the downtrend. It is just not stable and the price may go up soon. People should not just looking at this status and think too much.

Closed your phone and everything have connection with bitcoin and altcoin, you keep focus your self at other business and you can try for joining real business until bitcoin could back at higher price again.

nothing can be done at this time other than holding, holding is the best way to avoid more losses, even if it is done for a long time. because the price of bitcoin is always up and down

If you are in a panic state you can sell of your investment to fiat currency but the option is to still hold,this is the end of Bitcoin. Very market have ups and downs for this we all need to be patient.

If you can't hold and keep your asset because drop price, you can sell your altcoin or bitcoin but you have forget when bitcoin could back and raised up again to higher price, everything could be happen with bitcoin and will strong with higher price.

Other than saying HODL, I take advantage of the current low price and BUY. This is just my personal strategy.
To minimize your losses, the only way is to sell if you don’t want to hold on anymore. But you might be left with regrets when the crypto market goes on a bull run.

If you think that there will no improvement for the next month or next year then try to sell it now, or regret the day when bitcoin price will recover again. It is up to you if you don't want to lose much more than you expect to lose.

This is only a persuasion from people but the facts matter, there is nothing 100% sure, this is the reality to consider and not a persuasion.
Me too I am pretty sure the price will recover within a few months but since I can't be sure 100% I also consider the worst scenario. Not everyone can afford the same risk.

only advice and this in my opinion, if it's not too late, maybe you can sell your assets before going down again. better sell before going down again than holding too long. You can start buyback again when the price will recover, because according to my observation, the price of bitcoin will probably go down again, maybe it can reach $ 1000, so before it's too late it's better to sell now.

You can sell now and buyback at lower price, but as we are approaching the bottom, it might bounce hard, so there is a possibility you miss the chance of buying. For me, I am holding Bitcoin and playing with small amount on some altcoins with tight stoploss.

A real professional will never sell his cryptocurrencies now. Even if he sees that the tokens that he has are going to fall further, he will do everything to hold them. He will be waiting for the rise.

Yes, this situation has arrived to this point: Stay or leave! I still read that so many people is selling their bitcoin and altcoins in last 4 days and the Market Cap drops from $200 billion to $139,995,544,833.. This is very dangerous and might end up with disaster.. We need to choose now, hodl or leave.. But unfortunately i feel that in both choice we would loose..

I think it is the best decision now, we shouldn't do anything else. But if you cannot, you should sell all your coin and buy other coins.

Aside from HODLing the best thing to do for me is to buy more when it continue to fall  if you still have extra money. This is not the right time to sell your holdings since we are losing badly. I just keep monitoring the market and if itgetting toolow I will add to lower my average buy

I think other than holding we should always aware with what is happened in the market so that we can avoid losses. Since falling of bitcoin is continuosly and we can't avoid that we should always make a way to earn bitcoin while waiting just like earning altcoins through joining signature campaign amd social media campaign.

Making decision with assumption is not a good idea and also I never want ti save myself from losses,I just asked what we can do as community.I am willing to take the risk of loing my money also because I believe that the prices will recover one day in the future.

I really agree because with that we can get a substitute for income from the crypto world so we can get more income until we wait until Bitcoin experiences a good price increase

ahaha... You're right. With all of us so often, what choice we will make, we will still lose  ;D

Speaking seriously, this situation is not very funny. There are large investors, or as we call them whales, who play well on human psychology. People are all alike, most of us do the same thing in the same situations, so we are just a crowd. And the crowd is easy to manage, because if the part of the crowd is forced to buy cryptocurrency with psychological pressure, the rest will also start to buy, despite common sense. And vice versa.
Now market participants have been subjected to psychological pressure, and in this situation, many are selling.  Even early Bitcoin investors are starting to think about selling.
I don’t know how you assess this situation, but I see in it a strong planned manipulation and I will not be part of the crowd. Even if I remain an investor for several years, I don’t want to participate in this circus, organized by whales.

you can not let panic spread around!
this is the most important thing to do , panic sell will create even more pressure on the market and drive the price lower
you HODL and remember the time when bitcoin was 700-1000$
and for quite a long period of time as well!
this correction is expected and I'm surprised we had such a long lul period, 17.000$ price was a gift that some interpreted as a signal to buy
well, sometimes we do not get what we want and we get experience when we do not get what we want :)
I am sure that we will see another dip in price, but long term bitcoin will surprise everyone and is here to stay 

Act like an adult. Realize your loss, shit happens. If you are in a hard situation, sell your assets and pay your debts otherwise use your crypto or hodl.

Whole crypto market is dumping because of Bitcoin price decrease. But at the moment we can learn so many things. We can make good strategy for trading and we can learn from our previous mistakes.

All topics in this forum discuss the decline in the cryptocurrency market. If you are an experienced trader, it will be easy to execute when the market is bearish. Market sentiment will cause fear to new traders, making it easy to take profits between 1-5%. This chaos will recover soon, we have seen its history like the previous years.

To be honest, if somebody really feels that he must cut his losses, the best way to do that is to sell the coins. Not owning coins means a further decrease in price will not affect that person.
Of course not owning coins means as well that profiting from a rise in bitcoin price will be impossible as well.
The main question is my eyes is, does somebody believe in bitcoin? If you you think that you must minimize your losses, then the answer most likely is no.

I think that the decline of bitcoin will continue and so you can sell your assets right now and then when the price drops even more buy bitcoin again.Yet at least some profit you but get.This is probably the only way to get at least some profit in a falling market.Besides HODL this is the best option.Why I offer this option, all simply because it would be very stupid if you just sell everything and exit the cryptocurrency market.That's not worth doing.Cryptocurrency will surprise us.

Only those who sell Bitcoin at today's prices are suffering losses, and everyone who trades on the stock exchange and increases the number of their Bitcoins will receive financial profit when the crypto market starts to grow. In order to help Bitcoin, you can, for example, trade and increase trading volumes on stock exchanges, and if possible make payments at BTC if you shop online, this will increase its popularity.

which we can doubt now. if we have capital in the form of paper currency. we can use to buy bitcoins and altcoins in large enough quantities. then save until the price rises again

What can be done other than saying hold? That's selling off each everyone of your tokens and coins which I personally think you will regret big time if you do,why can't one have patience ?

I agree on this idea and this is indeed the next best thing that we must do aside from hodling whenever we experience a major downfall in the prices of all cryptos .other than that , it is also better if we can have a break for a while because stressing our selves too much is not good for our health  . yes most of us are experiencing a severe stress because they see that the market of cryptos are hardly experiencing a difficult situation .

In my case im not an investor nor a trader , though also feel bad but i know how to treat my self so that i can still continue my faith on supporting cryptocurrency .

pssst, it is already back here ,  has never left
if you mean the price of bitcoin and when it returns to 10.000$ + levels
maybe next year, maybe next decade - we do not know
as you can see the price can shed 2-3k usd in a day and also it can go up as unexpectedly
there is no reason to be upset about things you have no influence

HODLing is a good strategy if the market is growing, but if you consider that the market is falling during the year, and the price of Bitcoin has dropped from $16000 to $4300 since the beginning of the year, then the HODL strategy brings a loss, so if you think Bitcoin will drop to $3000- $3500, then sell now and buy when it drops to that mark, but it's risky. But if you think that this bottom and further Bitcoin will only go up, then do not worry, trade, use Bitcoin as a payment, and the price will grow in the long run and you will get a profit.

In just a couple of days bitcoin was 4490$ and now it down to 4315$, though the hard fork for BCH was almost done but still bitcoin declined.
Which means I think it is not because of BCH why Bitcoin was decreased on this value. This is obviously that there are whale manipulators who doing it so far. Therefore lets hold our coin and other potentials altcoin into your wallet then wait.

other than saying hold you can look for the chance to earn bitcoin this time. How can we be able to hold if we dont have nothing to earn so it is better to focus on earning bitcoin or even alts and convert it to bitcoin and hold.

be patient and always look at market share and take a short tour maybe it will be a little entertaining and can reduce tension and frustration because of the decline in the price of bitcoin

Cryptocurrency still have a future, and the best thing for now is to remain calm for this condition. Holding will still be the best choice to avoid losses, and when the market recovers will be a big advantage.

If you are part of this community, you need not to be tired of the word HODL if you want real profit during the bull season, yes seems we are tired of the word but if you count your loss, do not think it is wise decision to sell at this stage as the price kept reducing, the correction will soon be over, let us build the community by remaining  steadfast.

It's true that crypto currencies including bitcoin fell and continued to fall, but we should not panic, because the price of bitcoin will look for a bounce point and will return to bullish in a time that we cannot predict. I think the right step to do now is to buy because their current prices are so low, and this's a good start for us to open and rearrange our portfolios, and in my opinion, maybe we won't see prices as low as this again in the future.

Right now, we just have to sit back and watch whatever that is going on with cryptocurrency market. We should again hope that, the crypto market will return to normal. Predictions here and there are not helping since they end up being speculations. I think now we should keep on looking for more cryptocurrencies to add to our portfolio.

If there is an opportunity to be in HOLD, then this should be done. Bear trend continues and nothing more. If you believe in the fundamental component of the projects in which you are investing and nothing cardinal happened, then you should not panic.

In today's situation, when bitcoin and all the cryptocurrency market is falling, first of all, there is no need to panic. Now the best prices for bitcoin and cryptomonettes and now you need to buy and wait for growth.

HODLing might reduce your risk, but not your losses. It's obvious as shit btc was going down, it's probably still going to go down for a while, until btc stabilizes for a good strong week, you don't even mention a possibility of a rebound back up.

So HODL, because in the long term, you'll probably forget about this setback. But short btc, and you're at least going to keep the fiat value of whatever you still own. The ride is far from over, ESPECIALLY because of how much of a butterfly effect this is creating with miners, which is only going to drag us more down.

What do you really want to hear?
Today the market situation is very unfavorable. So if you yourself cant determine for yourself the strategy of work in this market and understand what else you can do, then the best thing is just hold.
The fact is that even if someone gives you good advice (for example, short), you will not be able to use it due to lack of knowledge, practice and skills.
So be grateful to those who give the advice that is right for you. And if you really want to understand what you can do now, then start exploring this question at a deeper level. Look in the Internet, information on how to trade in such a market and study it.

HODL is considered as one of the effective strategies inorder to reduce the level of risks and losses. Other way that we can do is to stay calm and not to panic. We should not be driven by our emotions, it does not help at all. We need to stay patient and be positive, but not to stop exploring and learning new things in order to improve knowledge and skills. We have to accept the reality that Bitcoin is volatile and that we must learn to manage in every situation that comes along the way. Never lose hope, failures and disappointments are part of every success stories.

In this down trend market just keep holding and if its possible for you buy more Bitcoin while its cheap because sooner or later the market will recover and believe that another all time high will be recorded in history.

No other best ideas and ways during this price dropping scenario is to hold and forget about all losses
i suggest is better to hold ypur coins than to sell cup off the loses are not advisable at this moment
Price dip is opportunity to buy bitcoi Investment but you need to study well before grab the opportunity

maybe what can be done besides HODL in my opinion there are two, first buy more bitcoin because the price is now very cheap and keep HODLING. the second one is to invite friends or investors out there to buy cryptocurrency

HOLD is the best choice because I don't think we are losing out where the coins are still in the hands and they just change in value for now, if you are patient then the value will return to improve in the next few years, make a long-term investment

For me, we should not let the prices in the market affect us. We need to be strong now. And don't let ourselves be stress. And just hold our crypto and wait until the prices pump again.

Nothing. There's nothing better than to hold at times like this. Selling on the other hand will be risky because huge profit will be completely lost by doing so. Unlike on holding on into your tokens which will give you the advantage once recovery takes place someday. All we have to do is to wait and to not worry that much on the situation that we are into.

Why is everyone so scared of shorting? :D Imagine if you shorted just 3 days ago, you'd be able to own 1.5x the amount of btc you owned back then. Worst case scenario you jump back in on the hype when the coin starts rising again. The only people I understand if they want to hodl, are the ones with literally too much money to be able to trade on expectable dark times like these. I'm not saying hodling is bad, but stop painting it as a solution to the problem, if anything, lack of transactions and coin use is only going to make these times worse.

I don't blame those people ho chose to sell rather than holding because we have our own perspective, and for sure they already weigh things according to their standards. For me it's ok not to hold because holding is not always a solution sometimes we need to break it.

Market keeps on moving and price fluctuates at times but let's not let it drive our emotion because it's out of our control. Never stop learning, it's a great help for us to improve our knowledge, skills, and become wise enough to deal the volatile world of cryptocurrency. Never be afraid to fail and face the harsh reality of life, it will make you strong. Keep faith high and strong, never lose hope. Don't panic, everything will be back on track.

In my opinion. we can trade crypto currencies or mine so we will still get income. and now we cannot sell because the price conditions are very bad and holding assets is the best way for us all. besides that we can trade, mine or join a campaign with prizes from an ico. so we can still get income. and we must remain patient waiting for prices to recover.

If you invested in BTC higher that the actual price the unique way to avoid loses is wait, like you said HOLD. But if you have money to invest this is a unique opportunity, for when the prices reaches the lowest the altcoins will do it too and that is the big oportunity for everyone

People say to hold it so the market doesn't get worse if you contribute to panic. holding back will greatly help the market to survive from the storm. but it seems that only a few users do that, because prices are decreasing more often now, panic still haunts many investors..

If you are losses too much then probably its good idea to HODL, since I believe it's gonna recover sooner or later.

Must be optimistic that the bitcoin market will improve again, indeed prices continue to decline so the value drops. But never be afraid of holding bitcoin. because 2019 is predicted to increase the price of bitcoin. Or do bitcoin trading, it's just a little to improvise while waiting for prices to rise.

Never hold your bitcoin, please sell as soon possible if you want get your money back, what for you have hold your asset but you have lost all of your money, never try for holding your bitcoin or your altcoin because the next is bad for crypto.

If you see that the market is continue to falldown then ,keep your coins on hodl because if you force to sell your coins then it would surely create loss to your funds and investments , aside from hold just continue to participate in bounty campaign and help promote the other on going projects that are already been launched and developed.

sell and sell, sell all your cryptocurrency assets right now, as long as the price of bitcoin is still above 2000 USD, sell your bitcoin
2019 the price of bitcoin will drop to 1800 USD, and that is the best buy zone if you want to get a big profit in 2021
You can also learn more about bitcoin in 2019, for example, you try to use bitcoin as a paymet gateway, in your store, because in 2019, the price of BTC will be very cheap. so the experiment will not be expensive

 Well, for me all I can say is relax and just let it down because when its down we can buy more bitcoin in the lowest price, look for the bright side of this moment. Do not stress yourself thinking that we can lose all of our bitcoin. Let we say this year will going through a very deep fall but we have a lots of chances and bitcoin do not have an expired date to used, we can store it any long days we want.

Just pray to find a bottom. When you do find a bottom try to buy more and hope for the best. Other than than that pray! For you might have to commit suicide if you sell and tomorrow the market recovers and surpasses ATHs that we already know from 2017.

If we have to earn money in Bitcoin. So we have to hold. There is no other way besides this. Because prices are up and down at any time in the crypto market. Which makes us profit at some time. And sometimes there is a loss.

Just don't focus all of your wealth into crypto , put somewhere else like gold or apartment for renting purpose.
Crypto trading is risky activity so you need extra effort to invest there although you can earn more profit quicker than other well known investment.

Just wait on Jan 2019 , there will be a new momentum !

besides holding our coins, we can also do other things that can make money by joining ico or other things that can make money so that we can still make money even though our coins hold up. but when doing something we must always be careful and careful not to lose.

If u have some coins in your wallet and the price is getting worst. For me if i am brave enough to sell, i will do it, and buy some coin again and do day trading.
But if you fellnit is to risky. Then just hold it, no others choice exactly.
It will be better than you loat much money on it. If you don't need money for now. Holding is no matter and not a big deal.

HODL is not for everyone.  You hodl if you are convinced based on what your money is on. I can't say you should sell or not because I don't know what your reason for investing. That's indeed a personal decision.  I day trade and also long term  invest.  So I sell some and I hold some.  That's my style. 

You can sell off and re-enter the market and buy at the present rate and will target a small profit which when reached you can sell and buy again. Doing more sells with small targeted profit each time and trade as many times as you can. With this method, you can make so much within a short period of time.

what you say is wrong because holding bitcoin and altcoin can be a big place of income even though you have to wait patiently, because there are already many investors who are successful with bitcoin and altcoin

Besides saying to hold, you can save maximum amount of money as possible (in fiat for now), working anywhere you can, and preparing yourself for the bottom in Crypto-Currency. So once we reach the bottom you can get in the market again with a nice investment and enjoy the rising season of BTC and company.

Are you sure the falling price of btc was because BCH hashrate war ? It could be only manipulation from some whales with the same timing of bch hashrate war. I think in this kind of red market, we can try to accumulate some coins instead just holding.
But we must find a really good coin to buy, so when the price recover, we will get our decent profit.

I keep holding the coins until they are almost gone for nothing. I realize there was really nothing to earn and decided to stop the foolish ideas. Though it is possible that maybe after some 50 years from now you can still gain from it yet it is not a good guarantee for success. Maybe that is if you can wait for that very long time. The best thing to do by now is to create a real in flow of bitcoin. Invest in a business where you would use bitcoin for good. It think it is even better than waiting for nothing. 

Well since nobody is sure that the price will still not fall further, my advice is that we should be more be optimistic and hodl as you have said and for someone like me that like to play risk game, I still watch out for some coin that have solid project background and buy them at this period when the price is very low. One example of such that I have bought recently is the APH. The price is very cheap now and the project is a very promising one with dedicated team that provided update often.

you can stop seeing at chart market and closed everything have connection with bitcoin or altcoin, you can try other way and enjoy your daily day with new activities and forget about bitcoin more than one year.

there is still a lot that we have to doubt besides holding. namely collecting capital. and wait until the bitcoin price drops back to reach 2100 USD. after that buy it. and hold until the price rises again

Hmmm, indeed the situation of the crypto currency is being overtaken by an exam. I myself advise you to buy as many coins as possible when prices are falling. You can get more crypto currency coins at very low prices. This is your chance to invest. I'm sure even though things are not good now, crypto currencies have a good future. You can take advantage of this moment to start investing, especially long-term investments. Another thing you can do is that you can do a campaign and invite your colleagues to be active in the market. I am sure that the more people active in the market, the crypto currency market will improve. whatever the reason for the fall in the price of crypto currencies, for me our contribution to building the crypto currency trust needs to be maximized. We can't just wait for the situation. If we don't start the motion, the crypto currency will get worse. I'm sure of that.

invest in your skills, i suppose... you yourself, have the capacity to create wealth.

There is no alternate to hold the crypto to keep safe your self otherwise there is no option to do anything more. Holding is best decision for huge profit.

What can be done here except HODL. Or fix in the minus, but I do not want to do it. On the contrary, if the price will fall I will buy.

this situation is indeed wrong, to sell we have lost a lot, and for the hodl I am also hesitant to suggest it, but this is investment, the tenacity of the principle from the beginning is tested now, if we still want this bitcoin to live longer, the only road, wait the market is back, but if this makes you depressed selling and going away from this market and it shows that you are not worthy here, this is all a choice and you decide it yourself

Apart from HODL now its best to just keep enjoying the dipping price cos it won't last for ever so just keep buy buy and buying ,the moment everything start returning back to normal you would have seen a huge profits already talkless of if bull run make a comeback so falling prices is a huge advantage for investors

If I would be asked, I would tell you to focus on working and save money, since the bitcoin price is falling saving some and use it for investment would be better and beneficial rather than waiting and just holding your coin for dear life. Without income, there's no dear life.

Firstly, BCH hashrate war is just a coincident because has nothing to do with the current market falling price and the market status is normal and it something which have been predicted. However, if BCH hashrate affected the altcoin BTC shouldnt be affected.
Meanwhile, the first thing people should in this current moment is patience, hope(that the market will back to live), buying and holding of more utilized coins.

Agree, instead of trying to hope and say things like continued hold and positive trust, things will come back, we should focus on the job and forget the price of bitcoin, that would be better for us because if we are so concerned about bitcoin, our lives will be chaotic and lose our balance. Should not create pressure for ourselves, we should remember that bitcoin is an investment for the future and for the long term, what is happening is only part of its development, and we want the future, we need the present, and the work and the career is the foundation of our future

Market is reeling under pains everyone who are emotionally attached,feeling sad,  no other options left except holding the coins.

You can invest and strengthen Bitcoin....
Ultimately investing is what will bring the price back up...

But unfortunately only a few investors do that. because what they do is panic selling. but if you can buy at the right time when the price has subsided and stop going down you can buy it. holding is only for long-term investors. if you are a trader then you shouldn't hold for long time. You have to dare to cutlose when prices continue to drop

A lot of people who trade cryptocurrencies surely have lost a huge amount of their and probably they are saying that word HODL because there was no other option except that ;D they could have minimized their loss only if they set their stop losses right after executing a buy action. well I admit I am also stuck at certain coin so far but still I am in a good position so I have nothing to worry about it. ;D

Good points.
I am a long-term investor so I HODL most of the time. I actually have zero experience in selling bitcoin :)
I could have sold on the last two crashes but then again my coins are safer untouched.

A good trader has risk management in place and cuts his losses. My experience with daytrading bitcoin is that you will get slaughtered if you use stoplosses or high leverage. Price can fall rapidly getting you caught out.


As for the price subsiding we can apply Newtons law (Action == Reaction).
Subsiding will only happen if people are scared to sell because they expect a rise or at least no profit.

As for few investors taking action (buying). See it as voting... one vote is useless but if we all vote we have power.
If you want to change the trend then lead the way. With enough followers the trend will change.

I am buying the dip...  8)

Too late - the market had another great fall. Now, it is really better to hold Bitcoins and do not sell them whatever happens. This is the best strategy that will give you many chances to return your money and to earn.

indeed the current bitcoin price continues to move down and is very worrying, I also feel if this continues without certain actions we will suffer losses. if you do not believe that bitcoin will rise again in the time you want, you should not HOLD again but sell now to minimize your losses. but for me it's only a matter of time when bitcoin will rise again.

holding back is not necessarily a good strategy. we have to look at the situation that is happening right now. when the price of bitcoin has declined at such a low price, selling is no longer a bad thing when it happens.

 I think in this bearish state we don't need to keep hold and hold, but with patience compensation. So bare with patience on holding as long as the market gain its consistent stability. And do not attached by the current situation, so we can avoid from losses.

Traders can make money in any market regardless of the conditions but that only holds true if they are very skilled at their craft something that is not common at all since most of the traders are long term losers and only a small minority makes profits and an even smaller minority are capable to obtain the profits that everyone dreams when they join this market.

You need to have faith in cryptomarket because it is the right time to buy and hold your previous instead of selling them for cheap. Due to market fluctuation, the price went very low, if you manage to hold them until the market starts recovering. You will be making some decent profit in the market.

yes, we must be able to balance the daily activities that we live in, especially doing activities (working) in real life to be able to get regular income and don't worry too much about the current state of cryptocurrency prices. bitcoin is indeed very appropriate if it is used as a form of investment assets for the future and is not our main source of income

Holding is more better to do right now in this situation because if you sell your coins now you lost more money. For those people who sold their coin when the price is cheap are very lucky but to those people who do not you don't have choice to hold it.

The best we can do now is buy more because if we hodl it only but we cannot buy more or take the opportunity in this bear season nothing will be happen. So much better to buy in a affordable price in the market while we hodl our other funds.

I think the main thing now is to wait a moment and shop. I think that in this situation with the market buying and holding coins is the only way to earn .

Yeah the prices were not good enough to those who waited for the price will rise for the month of December as the market has no any sign of a bull run. The only way we can survive is to ride with the market flow...if you have capital then buy little by little while the price is still at lower level since this strategy will lower the capital index of your crypto.

Actually you may have noted that the offline business investors invest a large amount of money in their businesses and for the return they wait for the dozens of years so in the crypto currencies we do not wait for a long time we only wait for a few years and we get a huge profit.

Just wait when the market back, and sell your coins, just take as good opportunity when the price of many coins is not good, but in low price and sell in high price when the market back on its normal situation.

Hold is the best, but depending on how you make this very complicated decision, you can sell if you think the price will go down even further. In the current market decline I prefer to hold back to avoid losses.
