Bitcoin Forum

Greetings,everyone
At this point in time,i was wondering about the opinions of dear forum users
There is a long period of time when the bitcoin price is at a rather high level,compared to the price a year ago
Some users have sold all their bitcoins as soon as the price became higher than the price at which they bought them
But i'm interested in the actions of those who bought their bitcoins more than 2-3 years ago and sold them now or are still hodling them
How did you find the strength and patience to resist this temptation?
Please answer people who hodl not $1-2k,but at least from $20k
After all,the fear of loss from investing $1k is much easier to bear than from investing $20k
For me this is the best indicator of inner strength and patience,because the greater the amount of investment,the greater the scale of his personality

P.S i've personally hedl bitcoins for a few years and it's well over $2k

-Regards

I think those who bought BTC last 2 or 3 years ago I'm sure they are going to HODL than selling it right now because Blockhalving is not done yet there is a big potential that this is not the last new ATH for BTC.
There is a big change after block halving because the supply will be reduced by half. If demand remains constant and supply drops, expect a price increase.

To me, I have a small BTC that I still holding but I already exchanged a few to take a profit and to use it for trading. I hold only a small amount but I still want to add more BTC, my source should be on my trading skills I'm not an expert I am trying my luck and maybe I can multiply my Bitcoin by trading.

Holding isn't just easy, it's a test of your patience and self discipline. Most persons can't hold enough because they lack patience, and often shaking when they see a drop in price this causes them to sell out of fear early.
The only way is not give room for emotions and stick to your plan, regardless of any market situation. This will help and save you alot. The market transfers money from the impatient to patient. Once you build this qualities you will have the inner strength you need to hold in a long run.
Invest, Plan and execute.

For a person to have held bitcoin for two to three years and we are just few years away to the next bull run, they should be able to exercise more patience to get the best profit out of their investment having that inner mindset to bear with all market tribulations and changes that occur during all of that process of holding.

The control of the inner self to hold bitcoin for this long doesn’t have to do with the amount you’re holding. The amount of bitcoin holding differs irrespective of the amount you’re able to sacrifice and invest into bitcoin and if you’ve made up your mind to invest that amount, you shouldn’t feel troubled when market begins to go against you while having in mind deep inside that it will come back in your favour if you keep holding.

I guess everyone who bought Bitcoin 2- 3 years ago and have been  hodling since that time, will definitely continue Hodling. Halving is estimated to be approximately just a couple of weeks away and with the recent price boosts for some time now, many Bitcoin enthusiasist are speculating $100k or even more. With that kind of profit many long term Hodlers will be holding as long as possible.
Some persons are still selling anyways( the short term holders) and even crypto traders. Besides the fact that everyone just can't Hodl, selling at the current price it still a hell lot of profit to some persons especially earliest adopters.

There are two type of people one who has bought it at dip and they are in multi fold profits and wants to maximize the leverage and see how far it goes because they are already in very good profits and minor dips won't bother them and then there are some who has bought it at previous ATH and got struck but they knew that's the price will increase in couple of year and hence they had been holding.

Now let's talk about long term investors as they study the market and take entry wherein most of their stuffs are pre-planned and they don't rush up to buy or sell, they keep holding for years until their personal target is achieved and some just plan to leave it for years without any price target. The more we understand the market the more easier it becomes for us to act with patience.

Holding bitcoin for that long , shows that they truly believe in bitcoin and since those years bitcoin haven't let them down a bit. well is obvious that's not easy to hold for that long , because for one to be able to hold for that long it requires good principles and good plannings, and the other thing that light things up for them is because is bitcoin they where actually holding. So just imagine doing something and that thing kept on progressing and growing, you Will be encouraged and motivated keep on ( which is holding). And I believe after this bull run. Some those would only withdraw some profit while they keep on holding , because we all believe that $100k and above ain't going to be bitcoin peak bitcoin have alot of break through to undergo in the nearest future. ;)

Holding of Bitcoin is really an investors choice to do, and it really depends on the time when you got into the market, basically your entry point, Therefore once you must have realized a good profit from your investment portfolio, then taking out some profits is something I would say that is really a wise thing to do. However, we are just getting started this bull market cycle. Therefore you can decide whether you would continue with holding your BTC or you decide to sell, everything depends on your choice and how much profit you must have gained from your investment.

those who still hold BTC despite the price reaching ATH must have been thinking of the halving and that they are foreseeing the profit in the future. you can either see them as greedy or just very bullish for profit.

for me, they put all their hopes into BTC that it will save them from the next disaster that will come since they know exactly the economic crisis that will come. i just hope they can sell their BTC at the right time when the price is high.

Why would someone decided to sell when we all waiting for the halving that is going to boost the price of Bitcoin to skyrocket to a more bullish price. Since everyone wants to make money from the market, there is no need to sell the token rather it is better to hold so that this bull market is going to attract more profits to the hold that is already available.

For those that has been holding their Bitcoin for years neo would understand the benefit of buying and holding because it has been very rewarding for holders. If anyone sell now, that might be as a result of something impromptu that came up allowing holders to sell their tokens but on a normal, no one is going to sell because we all need to make profits from the market.

Holding is not a one-time thing is like a continuous process, you buy and hold it now depending on whether you will be able to hold it for that long, and holding for long is not that easy it needs dedication from the holder, because if you do not have any means of earning then you don't have a choice but to start spending your holdings to solve your financial needs, and the halving will only benefits do people that are holding,  and with the event been some couple of weeks away now, and halving is not the main event people are putting their expectation on but the bull run and there expectation is around 100k truly but it is only an expectation. there is no certainty that it will get to 100k.  if you can hold for long then that is only when you will be able to benefit from all this event.

I've never found it hard to hold and I have more than 10 times your $20k in bitcoin. To me it was an obvious choice after the first bull market that I've been through. Before the 2017 bull market I was unsure of bitcoin's future, ready to sell if anything goes wrong, but in 2017 I saw my investment go up by more than 20x and this gave me confidence. Even when it went down in 2018 and 2019 it was nothing to me because the lowest it got was at least 5x more than I paid for my coins, so I said to myself that I'll keep holding for as long as I'm in profit. Currently I'm over 100x in profit. I don't think it's ever going down below $1k, so I'm a hodler 4 life. That doesn't mean I won't sell anything. I even sold a bit this year when it went over $70k for the first time, but I'm never going to sell all of it.

I think it would be quite a waste of time hodling all those years if you can’t wait for the mostly awaited bitcoin halving  that’s expected to happen a week from now, so most probably majority still decide to hold longer their coins to gain massive amount of profits, than to sell at the current price and won’t be able to maximize their profits anyway.

However, reality still strikes that not everyone is capable to hold longer when big profits is already in front of us. Well, it won’t make you less of yourself if you decide to sell your coins now, but it would be more suitable to sell and reap huge profits when you decide to sell when bitcoin halving is already happening.

Bitcoin purchases made by buyers have aims and objectives. I will assume that the purchase of Bitcoin is made by the buyer with the aim of hoping for a profit when the price of Bitcoin experiences a high increase in the purchase price. If that goal is true, then hold is the choice chosen by buyers with long-term targets. If the purchase is made now, perhaps the expected time period for making a profit will not be too long because it is estimated that the price will reach ATH before long.

Hold before the target is reached and sell when Bitcoin reaches a new ATH which is far from the current price. This means for those who use Bitcoin as an investment asset with the hope of making a profit.

I've sold early before the 2021 bull run and that's a mistake that I have been remembering but even as I sold by that time, I am not in a loss but still in profit because I've bought Bitcoin earlier. And if you've been holding it for so long, what do you want? To keep on holding it or you want to sell them now for profit? You are the only one that can answer that question so for you to realize what's the best action that you should do, look at the situation that you're having right now. Do you need the cash? do you have to sell your bitcoin? If not, there's no reason for you to sell and if you're in profit then keep on holding because no one's going to hold it for you but you. You go with the flock that has been holding for so long and everyone will motivate you to hold. Go with the flock of those altcoins investors and they'd tell you to sell those bitcoin of yours for altcoins. Easy? no, but it all takes a lot of time before you make a good decision. So for you to have something good to be done, check yourself out if holding makes sense to you. Otherwise, sell.

If you bought bitcoin a few years ago it is better to HODL a little bit more will be halving bitcoin will soon rally, bullish is getting bigger.

It doesn't matter if you only hold $1000 in the portfolio if the price increases then your value evaluation will increase.
Actually this depends on your needs even though it is now profitable do you need that profit now? If not better HODL wait for the moment where bitcoin will be pumped again.

Feeling that there are still many people who bought 3 years ago still HODL until now, they are waiting for patience to be paid when the price of bitcoin is high.

One thing I normally say is that if you not doing extra thing to fetch you income and you invest in bitcoin then you liable to touch your investment bitcoin but if you doing something either business or job and the weekly income or the monthly income is good then you don't have to worry about your bitcoin investment and all what you have to do is continue hodling. And for those who have started their investment from 2-3 years ago and they are still holding meaning they workers and businessmen and women so there will no obstacle that will stop them to hodle till the coming All Time High.

As I said to over come the temptation is to do another job while you are investing in it. Op you want people who are hodling up to $20k while you are still struggling with $2k. Lolz. What an irony.

It will be easier to hold your coins for a long time when you define the purpose of your investment, set a goal for your investment, and invest only the amount that you can hold for a very long time without any need arising for the money to be used. 

I have been holding some fractions of Bitcoin since 2022, although it was just a small fraction, but I kept on accumulating since then and have just held tight to it till now. I have a target to sell at the price of $80k–$120,000, and until then, I might not be forced by any other circumstances to sell off my bitcoin. 

@OP, what can make people hold their Bitcoin for a long time is when they only invest the amount they can hold for a very long time and when they understand the Bitcoin investment so well to know that volatility is a character of Bitcoin and no matter how bearish the market may seem, they should not be in a hast to sell because the market will definitely become bullish again to give them a better profit.

Some people are really good hodlers, they can avoid the temptation of selling the bitcoins they have because they have other sources of income that they can depend on for the time being while hodling. They have emergency funds for any emergency situation because it has a place in their budget, so they have totally cut off any form of pressure to sell some bitcoins that may come from emergency situations. Some of these hodlers are really determined to see How high the value of Bitcoin can get before they sell so they are still holding on to their investment strongly.

If you could somehow discipline yourself to have had up to $2k as at the time you did HoDL, am sure you can do so now. I don't HoDL for now, but am sure that those who have had the patience to start from a small sum, let's say about $50 and have endured till their HODLing investment grew to reach about $10-$20, are the real HoDLers and they deserve more accolade and their words would make more meaningful impact to the newbies and oldies, compared to those who started with a fair minimum of $1k -$2k and have HoDL for up to 2-3years now.

The biggest factor would be a stable income. If one has a constant and stable source of income then he or she must not worry that much about the money invested. I mean of course 20k will always make you worry however if it is not all of your money you can expect that you won't be tempted that much to take it away

Well, it is not about the amount of money you have invested in bitcoin that determines the patience and risk of all investors as a whole generally. People have different risk appetites and different income and different perspective on what is considered huge and small amount of money. For some people investing/risking $1k is not really easy to bear just like how a person who can afford to lose $20k. Different amount, but the same level of risk takers.
Again, we all have different monthly and yearly income, therefore we cannot say that the person who invested $20k has higher risk appetite or inner strength (as you say it) compared to a person who invested $1k or $2k.
Some rich people can easily gamble and lost $20k away easily, but some people can't even afford to have that kind of money in a coupe or so months let alone investing it in one go.

People sell their bitcoin hodlings for various reasons. It’s not always because they depend on their bitcoin investment and do not have a source of income to support their expenses. In a bull run, it is not unreasonable to want to sell your bitcoins and make some profit. A smart investor takes advantage of these opportunities to sell at a high price and buy later at a lower price.

OP said he’s hodling over $2k. I believe he doesn’t want to give us the amount of bitcoins he is hodling, whatever that amount may be is none of our business.

People must have stable income before they invest in a large amount of money. I doubt if someone will brave to invest $20k if his income is unstable. Everyone knows that Bitcoin investment is risky, there is no guarantee for profits. So, when someone decides to put $20k of his money into Bitcoin, it should be the safe money he/she has. Considering this matter, holding shouldn't be something worried. The money ideally isn't for basic necessities, so it is not urgent to take profits very soon.

Temptation of what exactly anyway? At this point in time most people who would've invested 2 or even 3 years ago when it was its past peak would probably be in profit right now, so they're not really in any type of fear of losing money. If you were talking about selling to immediately profit, they're just waiting for their respective exit points. Probably only works because of how they're already in profit so at this point, they're just waiting to grow it out more. Not to mention they've waited 2+ years, a year or more to wait for the halving effects probably wouldn't amount to much.

And to add, some people probably consider the money they invested to be money lost or at least, temporarily not theirs. No fear to think about when it's not yours in the first place.

Every person must have their own target and strategy in investing. Because in this case it is a holding, what is required is to hold for a certain time, until it reaches the desired price target. This will vary from person to person. Of course, the target price and the length of time for which it will be evaluated will also have an influence on the strategy and also the results of the investment.

Oh yaa, regarding why there are a large number of people who also make profits at this time, it really depends on their goals. Because, there are also those who do hold in the short term. So this will make these people immediately take profits when the price is enough to meet their targets. But this is different for me. If I still wait until the bullrun will actually happen. Even though we don't know whether we will meet the peak of the bull run or not, this will also have an influence on the profit taking process.

It’s true that the fear of losing $1k is easier to bear for someone who can risk $20k. But understand that those who invest $1k may see their $1k as $1M because it’s all they have. So you can’t really say it like $1k is little because the $20k investor may be a millionaire or someone who has a lot and it’s probably even their spare money. Nonetheless, hodling is not easy if you invested with a huge amount and don’t have distractions. If you have distractions, you wouldn’t even remember to be tempted.

Maybe the temptation of profit is in sight, still want to hold because of the potential for prices to rise again then this will be a dilemma for those who are new to bitcoin investment but for those who have long experience will not worry about the decline precisely when it goes down buy back.

There are many factors for bitcoin to increase and investors holding it Bitcoin ETFs have been approved to affect the price of bitcoin to ATH before halving, while halving has not yet occurred people will argue that prices will continue to increase so it is better to wait for the right moment after halving.

No what is invested is not as money lost, we consider bitcoin no big risk unless you are able to be patient for a long time, even make regular purchases in BTC.

If you need answers from only those who hold $20,000 worth of bitcoin and above, then you might have very few replies here. Someone can give you an honest reply without holding the mentioned amount.
 
To answer your question, the way you hold your coin is based on your own personal decision and the target you have for them before acquiring it, and if you also have something that gives you money, it will be easier for you to hold it till you reach your target without selling it.
 
There are people who hold bitcoin and have agreed to themselves that until it reaches a certain amount, maybe $100k or above, they won't sell. That's their own target, and they will hold onto it.
 
You can also do that, and don't allow price to influence your decision. As long as you are in for long-term holding, you will definitely witness the up-and-down movement of the market.

There is not really some sort of secret people like that are using, they just understand very well the nature of bitcoin and its potential, so they know that a few years down the line it will be much more expensive than what it is now, so if you have that knowledge and you also have a solid economic position which allows you to not touch your coins during that time, then it is way easier to keep your coins even when others may be tempted to sell.

You have to believe in BTC to be able to store it for a very long time, there are weak hands that hold for only a short time and they buy through fomo, only when the price is rising again. People with understanding about BTC know of its uses cases and they know the price is 'never' going to zero, and so they are able to store it for as long as possible, even if there are so many correction phases along the way.

Take note that you should also not buy BTC with money that you need immediately, that can also affect and influence how long you store your coins.

The sell because they are probably contented with the profit generated from their investment. I did this in the past years but yes, I was also in regret after seeing the price surging high after selling. But if we are satisfied enough of what we get, that is okay because the most important is that we earn some, not we lose.

Then encourage yourselves to be strong and focus on your target price. You can avoid temptation in selling if you are certain about your plan.
Never always check the price so it won't affect your mindset. Losing is not possible if we just hold and sell at a higher price than the buying price. Manage your emotions and be mindful in your decision-making.

Personally I don’t see anything wrong when it comes to the time or price that people sell off their bitcoin holding as long as you’re selling at a profit. Some of these investors that sell are those that have actually set a profit target and once it triggers they sell without hesitation. While some investors actually sold off their holdings not when they had pre Planned a longer a time to do it, but sometimes unforeseen circumstances that get them to sell, some of them will be happy to rather lose there bitcoin than borrowing money to sort out their emergency needs, which again is not a bad idea.

As for the ability of holding it for a very long term, I will say the first thing is to invest an amount you can afford to lose and as such it will reduce the tension of selling off when hit with either positive movement or negative movement.

Yes,i agree
But any person who earned his money himself and not inherited it from relatives or won the lottery, will worry the same for $1k or $20k
Because he knows that money comes from hard work
Any money...

Actually, If you worked hard to make the money, $20k would be more valuable than $1k. So the amount matters. The reason why I replied to that is that $20k may be the money of someone who won the lottery while the $1k can be someone who has worked their ass off just to gather their little $10 to amount to that much.

People have certain thoughts, those who haven't sold Bitcoin yet after crossing the new ATH are actually waiting for the halving, they think the effect of the halving will give a big boost to the Bitcoin price. Investors who bought Bitcoin last year are now in big gains, so they can wait for the halving, because the minor correction now doesn't affect them too much emotionally because if there is a big boost in the Bitcoin price after the halving, Can secure even bigger gains.

Every investor has their different long term holdings, I am no different here. I will hodl my bitcoins for a few more years after seeing some more ATHs. So everyone's perspective is different, every investor has set a target when they will sell their bitcoins, it doesn't matter how emotionally the market affects that investor.

The best advice is to hold but with caution, as always we are getting close to the bearish year, either we like it or not it is going to happen, and the halving will happen again. how you manage your portfolio is the most important. To recover lost bitcoin or usdt or other crypto and digital assets, visit www. bitretrieval. com they are an affiliation of retrieval technologies and they help with full asset recovery without upfront payment.

First, our personal opinion shouldn't be seen as a decision making and everyone should always make his/her own decision independently. However, selling all Bitcoin holdings is never a good decision no matter the time frame or season when the BTC is bought due to how the market trend is making it hard to below the bottom price of 2-3 years ago.

Well, if you happen to have a stable job that supports you, then there’s no reason that you will sell prior to bitcoin halving. Regardless of how huge your investment portfolio is, selling at the current price may be a good price already but we all know that there’s still a lot more of price increase when bitcoin halving is already here. Except if you aim to realize your project earlier, then I think selling even a portion of your bitcoin won’t be bad though knowing you’re still in profits after years of hodling.

Hodl, no matter what happens I will keep my bitcoin in hodl, but of course this past events where bitcoin reach $72k I sell some of my hodlings but it is just a small portion because on how hugh bitcoin reaches so I was able to cash out some and use it to buy something I want and some is for another investment because along side bitcoin I'm i vesting into different crypto currency to maximize thr potential profit, but yeah If I were others I will keep holding bitcoin until the bull run comes because the halving is yet to come so we might expect that bitcoin might go higher and will set more higher ATH which is very exciting to wait and to sum up I will keep holding my bitcoins until the end of course I know when will I need to cash them all but I want to see it through the end.

It's best to hold it a little bit longer because we are close to Bitcoin Halving and we all know that after that, the price will eventually rise up and it will create another ATH based on its past history. Anyway, this kind of option will only be available to those who aren't in need of the money rather you can just sell it if you don't have anything to spend any more on your essential needs or you really need to pay for something for emergencies.

I'm hodling for way longer than 2-3 years, and I will most likely liquidate more than half of my BTC portfolio in this cycle, because I'm at the point when taking those profits and investing them in reliable traditional assets would net me a significant cash flow, and I would rather have a predictable stable income than to gamble it all on having more unrealized gains.

I also think that Bitcoin is significantly more risky than most Bitcoiners think. There's nothing that could prevent a massive bear market that would turn into a long-term negative trend. And I don't want to risk anymore, I want reliable gains.

I'm not saying I'm hodling everything I have, but I've been hodling a certain amount since I got into Bitcoin. That's at least 8 years. In my early years, a day's growth is enough for me to ponder on selling since I've already made profit. And I've sold, although not all. Sometimes my decision was right, sometimes it was wrong. I eventually tried playing with the changes in the price. I sold; I bought back. In the end, I wasn't really earning, or at least hodling was a lot more profitable. It was hassle-free, too.

In short, I ended up hodling. It's mainly because of the lessons I've learned. You will always be rewarded in the end if you hodl. I have regrets for not completely embracing it earlier. I also have Bitcoin friends who failed because they failed in hodling. Furthermore, if only you look at the charts, there's no reason to abandon hodling as a strategy.

But we have different appetite for risk. And, as always reminded, invest only what you can afford to lose. If you're losing sleep over your investment, perhaps you're doing it too much. Or perhaps Bitcoin isn't for you.

We need to take profit and use profit to pay things in our life, enjoy sweet things from our investment. Taking profit is good for any investor and we deserve to use our investment profit for anything.

Your experience is similar to me and I believe it is similar to many investors' experience too. Lesson from it is we need to take profit partially but never sell all of our bitcoins because we have advantage of early Bitcoin investors so don't throw away that big advantage by selling all bitcoins.

It's good decision, holding and only take profit partially if we actually need money.

JayJuanGee and bitmover built up a good withdrawal strategy.

I fully support your decision and I will do the same thing as you, I will also sell 80% of my crypto assets in the upcoming bull season and switch to traditional business. Although traditional business will not be as profitable as the cryptocurrency market, it is clearly safer and we will have more peace of mind.

It is true that we should only invest money that we can afford to lose, but once invested, no one wants to lose money. Therefore, the psychology of people who are investing large amounts of hundreds of thousands of dollars or more will be completely different from those who are only investing a few thousand dollars. The larger the amount of money, the more things to think about and worry about.

People are always making noise that they will only invest in bitcoin and do not want to invest in gold or traditional assets because they invest with small capital and are willing to trade-off to get rich quickly. But if they invest large amounts of money, they will have a very different mindset.

I have 2 parts of btc which bought 2018 ( 11,000)

One part is trading another is for holding for long time

I have sold 60% from the trading parts and waiting to see the market.

Most of those who invested several years ago were probably independent people, and the money they allowed themselves to spend on buying Bitcoin was not their last. In addition, some knowledge and understanding of why people invest is required, as well as the period that should bring profit. We know that Bitcoin always meets targets when it reaches long-term targets. I think those people who remain with strong hands have ambitious goals, and some small percentage of the profit does not satisfy them. It is from this that the continuation of holding for many years forces people to remain with unspent wallets.

I bought my first bitcoins when the price was between $300 to $400 and sold most of them when the price went up to $1000. I then bought more bitcoins after that and also sold those bitcoins when we reached the all-time-high price of $18000+

I think I once calculated that I made 800% profit on all the coins that I sold over time..  so I am very satisfied with the returns that I received from my Bitcoin investments.

I still hodl a little bit, but I will wait for the Moon, before I sell my last coins.  ;D

Holding or selling can both have positive results because this still results in profitability. So whatever you take this time is not wrong because the most important is that you never miss the chance.
I sold some to secure my funds ( some people did this) while the amount of Bitcoin left was ready for the ATH and still sold them all. Might not be a good time to sell my Bitcoin but I stand the fact that securing our capital is very important in this kind of investment.

It is our personal call if we sell our Bitcoin or continue holding but I believe that the market still reminding us to be cautious in our action and think about the volatile nature of the market which we don't need to be ignored.

Before going into long term holding, ensure you include how to exercise patience in your holding, because that is what will lead you to your destination when you can sell and be bold to achieve a huge amount of income that will increase your wealth and make you not to miss any opportunity to invest in Bitcoin when there is a bearish season. You can see what happened to those holders that hold their Bitcoin since last three years till this year and they didn't allow family issues or other issues to force them against their wish, such encouragement can only be fuel by patience, which many investors have made up their minds to apply the same strategy in their holding. Well, if you continue holding your Bitcoin at this period, nothing is wrong in the decision, because the price is still increasing which it may reach $80,000 to break into new ATH before the price will begin to decrease to allow investors to purchase again.

If we can hold our coins for another months or years, that would be a lot better. But if financial pressures suddenly arise and you have no other reliable source of funds, then selling would also be a valid option. However, in my own opinion, it’s best to sell some and hold some. That way, you can benefit and enjoy the current profits, while you are still aiming to hold longer the rest of your coins. Don’t just think for today or the following day, but think on it long term. By long term means, another 3-5 years I think, most likely with that longer duration, you will already gain satisfying profits from your long term investment.

IMO, the amount of money for investment is large, people will not put a high priority on profit and the safety factor for the investment will be given more priority. It feels like with a small amount of capital, we can easily take risks with dreamy games, but imo, no matter the scale, evaluating each person's investment is really quite complicated because of life's inherent nature. We are not the same, so our decisions will not be the same. For me, it's simply the willingness to accept all situations and be able to put problems in front of possible directions to face them, like if we continue to hold/sell, everything will move forward.

There is some truth in what you say, the financial stability of a person's economy can be the determining factor for that person not to worry about selling their assets, they will definitely maintain these rare assets for the long term and continue to buy them. It's different for the lower middle class, if a disaster strikes them, if they no longer have emergency funds, they will definitely sell it. For the disaster they are facing, it is important that we think about how to get other sources of income.

Holding and selling are two actions carried out by someone with the same goal if placed from the same perspective. Someone holds because they feel they have not achieved the desired profit. If they made a purchase about 2 to 3 years ago, then according to profit calculations, now they can sell.
Still, someone still chooses to hold because they feel confident that the price of Bitcoin will rise higher again.

Those who have sold all their Bitcoins are likely pressed to make a decision. I view it from a positive perspective because those who are aware of Bitcoin's potential are not willing to sell before the time comes.


The most obvious strength in holding is having other income that will not interfere with the long-term targets on Bitcoin that have been planned.

We are not at all tempted my friend. We know that Bitcoins are way more valuable than the current price. Hence we have thought of the long plan. Moreover we have also invested the money which we don’t need in any urgency matter. Hence, for us this investment is like waiting and watching the movement. Moreover we also know that Bitcoins are limited in numbers, hence if more people demand to buy then the price will go up for the fixed supply. Hence many of us haven’t touched the coins and investment yet.

For me personally, $20k is not really a big amount of money but it's not a small amount either. I am investing more than the amount you mentioned and must admit that investing with a large amount of capital is not as easy as when we only invested 2k-3k capital. To be honest, holding is not easy and sometimes I panic, feeling a bit insecure every time the market corrects sharply.

Although I also know that if I don't sell, I won't lose anything and everything will recover soon, but the feeling of insecurity is unavoidable. To be honest, I also invest in some altcoins and the current market situation is not very good for altcoins and every time I look at my portfolio I feel unhappy. Having a negative portfolio of 5k-10k, sometimes even $15k, is not pleasant at all.

The thing with bitcoin investment is that everyone has their plans about how long they plan to hold and when to sell and it usually differs between individuals, some might intend holding for a short period while some might want to hold for long term but the most important thing is maintaining that discipline of withstanding any temptation to sell when your aim is not yet achieved.

Only people who invested few years back will be able to tell you what their goal is wether they want to hold for a longer period because it is based on individual differences.

Nobody likes losing money so when we lose money we feel all worked up and tensed and it is the same for everyone but in the context of bitcoin investment we just have to train our minds to withstand when we are losing money or when there is a dip in it’s price. Everyone you see that was able to resist the temptation had to train their minds to resist it because they know the future is bright if they are able to resist it. Achieving success is never easy that’s why you should always think about the future in order to be motivated and remain focused.

Losing $1k might not be easy to bear for some people as you think because we earn different amounts and $1k might be a huge amount  for some people so writing off people who hodl $1k is not ideal.

What time? The time you talk about is relative, whenever you have decided to sell your coins will be different from when other holders have decided to sell theirs. It is not about people not knowing BTC's potentials, they simply decided to sell or they wanted to do something important with the money, so they had to liquidate.

What i recommend is for people not to sell all their coins, if it is possible. BTC is a valuable asset and if you don't really have to sell everything all at once, then do not.

I think hodling is still the best course of action for what's the current situation of the market, I'm definitely sure that there's still more chances that bitcoin is going to go up rather than dumping, best case scenario is that it continues to go up until it reaches something that a lot of us might agree to be the best time to sell bitcoins for the profit. The best thing to do right now in my opinion is to just accumulate, I'm not speaking out of just an opinion because I will be doing this too because I've recently used a small portion to take some profit so I'm sure that it's the best course of action.

No matter the amount of bitcoin that is in your possession, if you don't have that patience, self determination on a long-term goal, and self discipline, it will not be easy for that investor to hodli his bitcoin for long. I will say that 2-3yrs is still classified as short term, so I will not admire such hodlers.

It is investors that have hodli for 4 years and above that I will cherish their patience and passion to keep hodling. Those who are short term hodlers that bought back 2-3 years ago, might have sold some fraction of their bitcoin, since the price is at 70k,and a good profit would have been gotten. I am not selling yet, but would wait till bitcoin price hits 100k.

You are right about time because time is relative. But this is based on my positive point of view in understanding the OP's point that some users have sold all their Bitcoins.
If we group Bitcoin owners, they are also different. There are some people who are not strong enough to deal with price drops, which makes them panic and want to sell.

Another group of Bitcoin owners is calm in facing any market situation and considers it a normal occurrence because prices are very volatile.
Should we blame the circumstances or blame them. For me it's about people's mindset with their Bitcoin holdings.


I accepted this recommendation because it was the best. We hope that it can be applied by those out there. But it feels like all the recommendations will be in vain if the way of thinking is not the same as the way we think about Bitcoin.

If you're visit a hospital and unfortunately you don't have enough money to pay medical bills, what will you do?

If you're need to pay rent and you don't have enough money, what will you do?

I don't see any reason to ask a subjective thing to anyone, you're one who have full control over yourself.

Even 1000 users tell you need to hold, but if you insist to sell, you will sell the coins.

If some one with financial stability easy to be long term holding with bitcoin, but lack passive income is factor why most investor difficult to be long term holding in bitcoin.
Personally every holder want to hold more than four until five years later with bitcoin become long term investment assets, but not support with financial stability less chance for holding until several years later and take to sell after bitcoin raise higher price indeed believing with bitcoin price potential more higher in the future.
Depend on holding or selling requirement with your condition, without any emergency funds I think every one want to hold and never sell bitcoin believing potential increasing price more than several years later.
Hold or sell depend on your requirement today, tomorrow and one or two years later you need emergency fund or not.

There is such a thing as an investment plan (or strategy). Look for the answer in this direction.

It sounds like you are trying to figure out which forum users have significant net worth. That's not why you're asking, right? :)

Who told you that? For some, $1k may be more valuable than $20k for others.
If you have $100 in your pocket, then the loss of $1k can be very noticeable and significant, but $20k for a millionaire is a mere trifle.

By no means, this is not the only indicator and you do not take into account all the variables in this problem. We must not forget about the overall level of financial well-being of the investor. It is not difficult to be patient when not the last amount of money has been invested (an acceptable standard of living). It seems to me that those who, even with low incomes, don't lose self-control and continue to hold bitcoin without spending or limiting themselves have more inner strength. This is where people have real endurance.

There are a couple of considerations here:

1) Nothing is sure in life:  With this I mean there is a possibility greater than 0 that you maybe wake up tomorrrow and for whatever surprising reason Bitcoin is now nearly worthless. What would be your personal situation now?

a) In case you have already 1 million USD in the bank and invested a couple of years ago 10 000 USD in Bitcoin, that would be a serious hit, but likely no changing your lifestytle dramatically, just a bad surprise.

b) In case you have 10 000 USD in the bank and currently holding Bitcoins worth 1 million USD currently, the loss would feel much harder and likley seriously impact your mental health.

c) In case you have 1000 USD in the bank and holding Bitcoins worth 1 million USD, the loss would likely give you suicidal thoughts.


2) Investing is all about making a profit over time. Depending where you fit in under 1 above, I would suggest in case you have already made a profit holding Bitcoins to consider selling an amount that you can then move to your bank account and is not affected by a total wipeout of Bitcoin,

Personally I would  make a plan with certain tresholds lets say 100 000 USD for Bitcoin and when the treshold is reached maybe sell 30 % of your holding and HODL the other 70 % until the next treshold is reached. This should make sure that you survide a sudden wipeout of Bitcoin with at least a certain amount of profit and still have Bitcoins in case Bitcoins goes to 10 million USD or so.

Just my humble opinion :)

Don't ask anyone regarding on what decision you should take since you might get trolled with that and the advice you get might not working for you so find what best for you to do since not everyone have different decision since we have different level of patience and experiencing to deal with bitcoin on some scenario occur at certain times.

That's why its important to develop your own strategy so that there will be no confusions will happen and you will not easily get affected by anything want those people like to spread especially if this is can affect you and will result to negative on your investment.

It maybe hard to learn and get better result but if you can handle to face any challenges on your investment for sure that you can earn good result on good decisions made soon.

From what I know, people like that, who buy bitcoin in large quantities or collect bitcoin consistently until it becomes a lot are those who really intend to invest, and maybe their investment funds are really aimed at bitcoin.
Maybe many people have sold their bitcoins when the price of bitcoin reached a certain point. However, I think they are selling because they have achieved their targets. However, people who have been consistent in holding their bitcoins which they have accumulated in large amounts, I think they are people who are ready for whatever risks occur, and believe in the potential of bitcoin. Moreover, the fact that they are calm even when they invest large amounts is because they are probably using money that they are truly willing to lose. I believe that such investors have many sources of income, or businesses out there. If he only had that money, then anyone would be afraid of losing that money, especially if he invested in bitcoin, which has a very high level of fluctuation.

If they manage to HODL when Bitcoin hit the ATH, why couldn't they resist it now that the price drops down?
They didn't take profit before when it was a bit higher compared to the current price, so we could guess that they are still planning to HODL (for those who didn't take profit on the ATH).

Yes, at that time our mentality was tested whether to continue or exit the market with some benefits that were definitely not maximized as planned. I think it all depends on the initial planning when we go in and invest and if it shifts it's not because of the general temptation but the need. If you already have sufficient other income and at any time want to set a sell bid, the percentage is very small to sell assets even though it looks high and can be ascertained that it will be left alone.

For the amount of entry, it is very decisive for the amount of profit and also the level of risk faced, but if it is a long-term set where everything else has been fulfilled, I think it is not a significant problem because BTC is the most potential coin in terms of value and duration of return.

I sell some of the ownership of Bitcoin that I have and it was done to get a refund from the previous purchase process. Many people may sell all the bitcoin they have at the time of the highest price at that time and some are still holding Bitcoin until now because they believe the price will return higher. There is always a temptation to sell Bitcoin when the price is high but also many people will wait for the next ATH moment to sell the bitcoin they have.

If you are able to withstand until the desired price is good because the power of Bitcoin is far more optimal if invested in the long run. Everyone must have their own views on sales and how to accumulate purchases of Bitcoin. The aim is to get the maximum profit from the investment that is lived so that people will use the slightest opportunity.

There is no perfect timing is selling our Bitcoin but I also think that selling them during bull season is a good time to do it. If ever I sell them now, I was certain that I've been in profit but deciding to still hold them is a good choice as well believing that the price of Bitcoin will increase in the next few years. But I think if we have the chance to make a good profit this time while the market is in a bullish state, why now? If I could make a profit x2 from my capital, I guess that would be very satisfying, and feel no regret in doing it even after a few days it pumps more and reaches the new ATH.

Hold if you prefer to wait for the ATH but sell if the price is satisfying for you. The point here is to generate profit, not losses.

everybody has their own plan when they will sell their Bitcoin after making some profit, so when they reach their price target they will sell and plan ahead when they will still buy at a low price again so that they can have more Bitcoin in their wallets. This is also a Bitcoin investing strategy; you can buy at low and when the price moves higher sell and wait for the Bitcoin price to go down again and sell more of it, both with the capital and at their price. I also see this as a good strategy for dealing with Bitcoin if someone is good at timing marketing before buying and selling, especially during a bull run period and buying at a bear market period.


I think that many people you see holding onto their Bitcoin for a long time are those with good knowledge about Bitcoin, who have more trust in it, and who have only invested what they can afford to lose; these factors are the main reason why someone can hold onto Bitcoin for a long period of time. You will notice that when you lack proper understanding about Bitcoin and general currency, or when you invest what you cannot afford to lose, there will always be fear of losing, and when someone has that fear, they will easily panic whenever the Bitcoin price moves down. From there, they will start selling because they don't want to lose.


Holding a bitcoin amount even less than $1k is not easy once it is not money you can afford to lose. I believe that those investors who invested a large amount of money in bitcoin and planned on holding it for a long period of time may have 10 times the amount of money they invested, so the truth behind holding it for a long period of time is just to invest what you can afford to lose.

When bitcoin price increases, most people will not sell bitcoin because they expect higher profits . But when bitcoin starts falling in price, and if the price drops too much, it's inevitable that people will panic . Maybe many people will not take profits but they will be willing to cut losses to avoid further losses, and this is common with most investors. What you say sounds simple, but when you fall into that situation you will see that it is not as simple as you think .

Not to mention as OP mentioned , if your investment capital is only 1 to 2 thousand dollars then you will not panic but if your investment capital is 100k to 200k then you will understand how terrible that feeling is.

It is very difficult to hold BTC because it tests your patience. When a person decides to hold their investment they should prepared their heart, mind and emotions for every movement. We know Bitcoin is a very volatile asset we can not predict its next move be it up or down so if he holds his BTC and it goes down then it's a very hurtful and tough movement for a Bitcoiner to show patience on his loss so thats why most people start selling to grab their profits instead of hodling.. But I don't understand why people start selling their BTC now. I will choose to hold BTC instead to start selling out to mark more and more profits. If am not stupid then I will wait for the Bitcoin halving and then wait for the next ATH. After that, I will sell some parts of my BTC to get some profits.

The most important thing here is how you want to manage your portfolio. Because you should invest what you are prepared to lose and hold on patiently. Also, how much profit you want to earn from your investment is entirely up to your choice or decision. Yes, it is true that not everyone can HODL because it is not easy to do either. Hodl requires a lot of patience. Those who have accumulated bitcoins for years are testing their patience by not giving in to temptation and keeping their emotions in check. Since Bitcoin's halving is so close, those who are patient enough to hold on and not sell despite the price reaching ATH can make good profits in the future.

 People who Hodl $20k plus in Bitcoin are those who are very rich and have other sources of income to cope with, while they wait for the right time to sell. Let's say for instance, someone depending on the profit of that money would have little patience and might have long been tempted when Bitcoin broke an ATH earlier. So I think only those that are very rich and have various sources of income would be that patient enough.
Also, I'll advice anyone holding atleast 1k in Bitcoin to continue holding for now, me personally I'll rather acquire more Bitcoin and contine waiting for the halving period than selling currently. If you noticed Bitcoin dropped to 69k so it might still be the right time to buy more and Hodl instead of selling.

It's not only about being patient, the question you should ask yourself is: why would I sell bitcoin? Is there something I absolutely need right now? For me it would make sense to sell bitcoin when I think we're reaching the top so hopefully if I sell 1 then I can buy 1.5 or 2, right now that would be the only reason. I would never sell to buy an expensive car or going on vacation, it doesn't make sense for me.

It would be better for them to keep their Bitcoin for now and wait for the next high price increase. The highest increase in Bitcoin that has occurred is only the beginning because the price of Bitcoin will still increase even higher. If people who bought Bitcoin at $20k had sold all their Bitcoin at $60k-$70k yesterday, maybe they would regret it because the price of Bitcoin could still rise again.

But it all depends on how they plan and what they want to do with their Bitcoin. Maybe they want to take advantage of it after waiting so long, and they can't afford to wait any longer. And they finally sell their Bitcoin when the price reaches $60k-$70k.

That is each person's wish. However, there are still people who continue to hold their Bitcoins because they believe the price of Bitcoin can rise very high. This is just the beginning, and we will see how high the price of Bitcoin is.

Not everyone can afford to hold Bitcoin. Holding Bitcoin for a long time definitely requires a lot of patience and courage. I think you have both patience and bravery which is why you have held onto your bitcoins for so long. But the result of patience is very beautiful in the end.  Here I am like you I have been trying to hold bitcoin for a long time but I am pretty much all over it. Currently I am holding 1k Bitcoin I hope to slowly increase the investment. But I've been trying to keep up for years. Best wishes from my side to every investor I hope every investor will have lots of success in the upcoming bull market.

It's that the price of bitcoin do appreciate annually and the price of bitcoin that appreciate annual if you are curious to sell you may sell and the price of bitcoin increases, a good investor of bitcoin doesn't be curious to sell bitcoin rather they hold their bitcoin until the price of increases, so many people I know today that uses bitcoin does not be curious to sell when they have know the important of using bitcoin or investing bitcoin, its only the newbies that are new in Bitcoin investment that always invest in bitcoin and rush to sell when the price depreciate little in the market.

Really? $20k is not a lot of money.
I had millions of dollars in bitcoin and it was really easy to hold it since I understood what it is that I own.
Let me explain it this way. You feel that it's safe to hold fiat money as long as you have no problem moving or spending it. When you can no longer take it all abroad with you because there are limits to what you can carry with you, and you can't access it because the country you're going to doesn't have ATM's that work with your bank, you start to u8nderstand why you need bitcoin.
I'm going to hold my bitcoin forever because it's my investment fund that I'm only going to spend in an emergency, or allow my children to spend on their needs.

Firstly you need to have other sources of income so that you won’t depend on your investment, your bitcoin investment account should just be like a savings account which you will have it in mind that you won’t be touching it for now. Most people are finding it difficult to hold, because they don’t have multiple sources of income, they are always checking bitcoin price. Also you need to set target for yourself, if you have confidence in bitcoin that it’s going to reach a particular price, then don’t sell if you haven’t hit your target yet.

In every investment we should know their is risk involved, don’t invest any amount you can’t afford to lose, if you know that if you lose $20k it’s going to affect you, then it’s better you invest lesser amount that you can bear the lost incase if anything happens.

It’s the thought that there is something better and more worthy to come your way if you just keep at it for a little longer. I think the trust you have in bitcoin will be enough to make you strong enough to resist any temptation to sell. Of course it’s not easy to find that trust but I believe seeing how bitcoin has increased and continue to do so in the past will make you believe in it by now.


It’s quite unfair to say this as 1k usd to someone with not much money to begin with will have harder time to resist temptation of selling it the moment he sees profit. Money is still money whatever its amount.

Make your busy, you don't have to think of selling them when you can but you don't actually need the money at that time. But don't forget to take profits when you can because that's how you make money on this market.

Resisting the temptation is that when you can think of your actual use with the money and if you truly need it.

If you don't have anything to think of and you're seeing the profit in there, you can still take the profit and convert into stable coins and wait until the dump again so you can rebuy at a lower price.

For this it is better that things are clear, at this time it is not good to be Able to sell bitcoin, there is a clear Temptation to do so if you need some money, but to think that bticoin goes beyond $100k is something uqe If it is sold right now, it is unacceptable, I believe things like that, of course there is a lot of respect for what Others think , but I fully trust that bitcoin will reach more than $100k this year or the Next and that will give a lot of profits if it stays there hodl mode , those who sell out of necessity is something else, I understand them, but the more you can buy and Hold, the better.

There’s no actually secrets in resisting temptation. Just set your target when to continue hodling or when to start taking profits. To be honest, it’s only rare to see people here never take part in selling because I’d know for sure that everyone here is greedy to take advantage with their big profits. What matters most is that you take time to sell when you see good profits, and you leave some of your coins for continuous hodling. At least you know  how to balance your present and future profits, and you won’t be making future regrets if ever.

People who has source of income tend to hold Bitcoin for long time than people who struggle to raise some money to buy some sats and here is why. A person who has a source of income wouldn't worry when Bitcoin price drop because they have another way to live a comfortable life even in the absence of their investment, they don't bother when Bitcoin price drop and they don't bother when the price grow because it makes them to have more believe that Bitcoin price will continue to grow in the future.

However, some who struggled to raise money to buy some sats will always see his wallet as a means of living that life he has always wanted, that life he dream and that's why any slight growth in Bitcoin price gives them quick suggestions to sell so they can use the money to buy any thing of their dream and they also get worried when the Bitcoin price drop, they panic as if their life is about to be taken from taken from them because they depend on that Bitcoin growth.

It's all relative to investor's net worth. A billionaire can invest millions in Bitcoin and not care if Bitcoin goes to zero, but a middle-class worker would be reckless to put all their savings - hundreds of thousands or even millions, into Bitcoin. Because if a permanent crash happens, they will be broke.

That's why people who sit on large unrealized gains in Bitcoin should consider taking profits instead of risking returning back to being significantly less wealthy.

Selling BTC before the halving is not a wise decision at this time. While investors may be able to maximize their holdings and gain an additional 20-30% BTC by repurchasing at a lower price, this strategy carries the risk of missing out on opportunities if BTC does not undergo a significant correction. I have been DCA for about a year and have no intention of selling any satoshi. I am confident that BTC will soon reach at least 150K USD during the uptrend, at which point I will consider selling a portion or all of my BTC.

Many have missed the opportunity to buy BTC in the accumulation zone below 20K USD or below 50K USD. If you have already purchased BTC at these very good prices, hold and show diamond hands!

I apologize, friend. I don't believe that owning $20k worth of bitcoin makes me wealthy. I'm not suggesting that's a tiny sum, but the topic of contention is wealth.
What does $20k mean, in your opinion?

Though it's only $20k, it falls short of the million dollar threshold, perhaps if you had stated that $1 million is what I could help you with. Perhaps it is equivalent to millions
of dollars in other national currencies.

Yes, holding is not a difficult thing when you are a long-term holder but those who think about this investment every day may think about selling after seeing the high price. This is what I felt many years ago as I believe that every pump is an opportunity to earn and I also think "what if" it dumps. Most of the time, we end up in FOMO, especially for newcomers, and that "what if" is very influential to our minds.
But I don't think selling now is a wrong decision. As long as we are selling above the price when we buy Bitcoin, still a big thing here. Of course, holding for a little bit longer is good as well believing that there are more pumps after halving which gives us a chance to earn more.

This depends, think of it this way, people have a different way of thinking when it comes to the price of bitcoin, some people have a price goal where they're going to sell their bitcoin and some people are just relying on instinct so you can't really tell what the people are going to do when the price goes up or down. It also depends on how long that price have been there because if you're not yet selling and that's going to be the new ATH for a long time then it's probably a mistake to just continue hodling but then again it goes back to those people that have a price in mind, they're the kind that wouldn't mind missing out right now when they know of the possibility that the price that they're dreaming of will be eventually reached.

yup, in the end this can only be a fitting option where when indeed we cannot resist the temptations that exist now then we only need to focus on the target goals that we want to achieve to be in bitcoin remembering this can be important where the focus becomes different when the initial focus is only on temptation it can be a little more diverted with the goal of where you will come out and when you have set it then we know where you have to stay and where you have to go in the end.

Sometimes it is difficult when we resist the temptations that exist because we ourselves will be carried away in the sales that will be made later but when we already know our purpose in bitcoin and where you will stop because you have determined your destination to go then we will no longer be tempted by the temporary temptations that exist today.

That's impressive as a starter but as you progress things are even became more impressive. This is one of the good things that BTC can bring to a person if they have the guts to buy and the patience to HODL. No ever coin can be like this, so it's sad to know on why others completely skip BTC. No wonder why they are losing money like hell.

Anyway mate, after that $18k ATH, you never buy new coins again? But I see that you are in a sig campaign, so I guess that is still a good alternative on stocking more BTC's. We are already in the moon right now but this isn't going to be the last, so just follow your traditional strategy of not selling all, in order to experience each of them. Good Luck ! ;)

If so, I congratulate you on that matter. I just want to ask you: when you sold Bitcoin at the price of $1,000, did you sell all your Bitcoin? Did you still somehow live at that time?
And was it also at that time, if you still have some, do you still have bitcoin holdings that you haven't sold that you bought for $300-$400?

It's also funny that Bitcoin holders like you are still here and continue to be given a good profit in your life right now. I hope more blessings will come to you because of Bitcoin.

It is quite difficult to resist the temptation not to release bitcoin at high prices, especially for those who have just invested and immediately get an ATH moment like some time ago. But if we can focus on the stage we want to reach, maybe be patient and wait for the next increase as we hope, it will be much better because we will get much bigger profits. The way to shift focus is not to open the market and let it run itself because we don't want to let go of the bitcoins we hold at that price except for those who have targeted at that price.

Who wasn't tempted by the highest bitcoin price at that time and I think there were many people who sold all the assets they owned. Coming back to each individual and actually they expect an increase in the price to sell, because sometimes people prefer to hold and will release bitcoin assets at a much higher price.

in our heads we keep imagining going up or down with indecision by buying bitcoin 1-2 years ago buying when the price went down and wanting to double the profits obtained they really believe in holding bitcoin with increasing economic factors compared to the previous year it's not easy to maintain it all takes a long time While you can realize your future hopes, depending on your choice, this method can be implemented well depending on your achievements and how much profit you get, maybe it can make your dreams come true.

It is fair to say that we are all looking forward to a bull season after the halving because we believe that history will repeat itself. But we also have no guarantee that history will repeat itself, bitcoin will definitely increase in price after halving, it's all just our predictions and expectations. So, if those who bought bitcoin for under $30k or are satisfied with the profits they achieved, there is nothing wrong with selling now. There is nothing wrong with selling a portion of your bitcoins to enjoy the fruits of your efforts.

Now it might be one of the worst times to sell Bitcoin. With the halving less than a week away, it makes no sense to sell Bitcoin without experiencing the real post-halving rally. Unless you have an urgent need for cash, there is no reason to switch to fiat money. Anyone holding so far would want to wait a little longer and sell near the top.
How did we find the strength and patience to resist this temptation? Easy, don't always look at 15 minute charts, zoom out, look at 1-day and 1-week candles.

It's all about having enough belief. If you believe in the technology and believe that Bitcoin will eventually go up in price, you won't be worried about the short-term corrections and dips because you will be confident that the price will be higher in the long run. People who invest for a long time with confidence that they are going to get a profit eventually will never panic or sell no matter how much negativity and FUD there is in the market.

People who lack knowledge and experience about the market will have a difficult time holding because they will start worrying each time there is some FUD in the market and we all know how the market becomes sensitive when there are FUDs and bad news circulating around the market, and newbies start selling immediately when something like that happens.

But I also wouldn't rule out the possibility that we won't have any bull run after the halving, I mean there's no guarantee that history will repeat itself, things can change like the way bitcoin created new ATH before halving. That was something no one expected and many people also missed the recent price increase because they believed too much in history.

I don't advise anyone to sell their bitcoins now but if someone wants to sell it's not too bad as long as there is a profit and happy with it. I am also not saying that bitcoin will not increase in price after the halving, but I also do not rule out the possibility that the bull season will come later than we expect.

As for the angle from which you are saying that you have a point, of course, if you have holdings of Bitcoin and you see that there is already confirmation of its price drop, you should sell it first. And when this is done first, observe the chart graph on the exchange platform to see to what extent it will have a reversal form in the market.

And when you first see that it will reverse again, then you will decide to buy again with a discounted amount, and there will be an increase again to the amount you will buy in bitcoin. This is what some community traders in this field often do.

Holding is a much better decision than basing in Bitcoin, but if someone realizes that the price of Bitcoin is going to crash, then they can sell the Bitcoins and buy and hold again after the drop. But since no one can guarantee how far bitcoin price will drop, I think it is better to hold bitcoins for long term rather than sell them because if you buy bitcoins with the intention of selling them, you will be trading them, not holding them. And holding is always better than trading

I've been holding Bitcoin ever since 2019 and even though I've been sold some of them through the years, I've been constantly keeping some Bitcoins as well.
I also have the opportunity to sell all of my Bitcoins way back in 2021 where everything was on it's peak, but didn't do it for some reasons. Turns out that it would be my worst decision in my investing journey because I could've sell all of my Bitcoins and bought the year after where everything was on it's bottom (bear market)

I'm still holding all of my Bitcoins until now, and I've been planning to sell them during the bull run possibly next year or at the end of the year. Strength and patience to resist this temptation? It's the discipline that will help you, and you will not learn that just by watching videos or asking opinions here. Experience, and adjustments will help you gain that strength that you're saying and it will also help you not to get tempted to sell your holdings whenever you see Bitcoin's price going up. Discipline is the key.

As for your question (subject title), I'm doing both. I'm currently holding some Bitcoins but at the same time, selling some of it. I will go all out and sell all of my Bitcoins after a few months that's for sure. :)

Holding is better than selling in only some conditions and for only some people, those people who aren't knowledgeable enough to understand the market and its movements so that they can make effective trades, otherwise, one can earn more money with scalping and day trading than they can earn by holding because when you hold, you have to wait for years in most cases to get your desired profits but when trading, you get profit every day if you trade wisely.
Someone who can afford to do it should do both holding and trading because that will give them more profit eventually. They should buy and hold some Bitcoin and trade with the remaining funds that they have, this way, they will be earning profit from two sides which is great.

Trading is a professional thing, and it is not easy to learn and become a professional trader without losing to the market. I don't think that trading gives more money than hodlers. Trading is very risky and a professional trader can make a little mistake and he will run at big loss. Only 5-10% of traders makes profit, and the other run at loss.

Hodli is simple, and there is no way you can run at loss when you are hodling, rather your profit is guaranteed based on the compounding profit from circle to circle. Don't you know that the value of bitcoin price increase over time. This is why investing in long-term and hodli is the way to a successful bitcoin investment.

Whether holding or being your son is entirely up to the business and you.  Related to income.  Before deer you must think that I rose you put in the stock market to see if they can again in the future.  If there is a possibility of building them, you will invest by licensing them, because if you invest here, if you sell it, there is a possibility of neither loss nor profit.  However, the current state of the digital currency in the digital market suggests that Bitcoin is the future price.  Whatever you do it can come to your profit or your loss because bitcoin is currently high its price can go down those who hold it got a bit too much do it again it goes down they have classed their pockets so both sell and sell is your business  .

Bitcoin is a thing worth holding. But that doesn't mean it can't be sold. You have to hold until your target is out of date. And after your target is met, you can then sell your bitcoins. There are many who can make an accurate prediction and understand when Bitcoin may crash.  And at that time they sell the bitcoins and keep their money in stamp coin and buy bitcoins again in the dip market. So based on various analysis and strategies you need to decide how long to hold Bitcoin and when to sell it.

Competent actions results to profits. We've experienced the crashed and heavy pump of bitcoin, all these years have been out of date. We can only imagine what we think might happen in the market, don't underestimate any chance of winning and also look closely for losses. Bitcoin have made more top firms and influential men more richer because they have huge pieces in the market. HODL bitcoin because this is the top project in the market and we're open to record streak winnings in the system.

As long as we have a benchmark of where youre going to stay and where you're going to leave then i dont think its going to be as hard as we think because at the end of the day its just going to be the same thing as what were in bitcoin for .
Suppose when bitcoin is at $70k in fact there are still many people who continue to hold the bitcoin they currently have even though in the end bitcoin has decreased again now but they still survive because their goal isnt at this price but they are at a higher price and that has been used as a reference for them so that even the new ATH price doesnt make them forget the initial target and it isnt that difficult where when we are sure that our ultimate goal is at the price we have set when the price goes up but the price is still not in accordance with our wishes and goals then we will not be tempted by that. 

Some are making new investments and some are selling recruitments, that is, buying and selling things are happening constantly. Some are investing now and trying to hold on to their investments for a long term plan, while there are some investors who are exiting their investments after their fixed period, selling their investments. If an investor invests in a long-term plan, he can invest at any time in any market condition because his objective is to hold the investment for a long period of time. In addition to holding the investment for the long term, the investor must maintain the consistency of his investment. In case of long-term investment, when the investor is able to maintain the consistency of his investment, he will be successful in holding his investment for a long period of time.

I'm not one of those people but I'm one of the few who held on for dear life from 2015 until the crash back in 2017-18, and I think I can give you a piece of my mind regarding this discussion given the fact that I HODL strong and long back then as well. It's all about the mindset really, a lot of the people in here who are able to save and hold that much bitcoins for that long of a time were only able to do so because they distracted themselves, cause the more you think about your cryptocurrencies losing value by the minute, the more you're going to be tempted to take it out and cash your losses, which is not good for the business I should say. Some of us here I assume, they have started to take up jobs outside the crypto industry to build wealth and support their finances as well, without having to take from their investments, which gives the "back to flipping burgers in McDonald's" a positive light I must say.

The thing about holding is that it's easy to save your bitcoins, it's the decline to yield to your temptations to sell or to cash your losses that's the hardest part. Soon as you get the groove that would secure you that aspect of holding bitcoins and other crypto for that matter, you're on your way to success already.

Check your reason to sell and weight if it would be valid to settle for a temporary loss. If you know how this market behaves then you guys should be calm. Of course it would be a better decision to keep on holding, and if possible, fill your bags more. The bullrun has just started and there's just a mild dump happened recently and that's a normal thing. Also, bullrun won't start in an instant given that we're days away from the halving. Situations such as investors grabbing profit is something not surprising.

It would be okay to be tempted but if you will observe those wallets who sold, they will again purchase on the verge of recovery. If you happened to miss the 'wave' then that would be a bigger regret, I believe. But you're free to do so, just hope that you won't regret it eventually.

People who managed to hold for long years are simply driven to earn more. They know how far this industry have become and that gave them the idea that there's more into it.

I sold what I needed at a price that suited me at the time. I have actually been quite lucky to always do it between $71-73k. If I don't need the fiat, I don't really concern myself with the rest of my holdings. They will stay as they are. I am strong willed, so I am not going to touch the coins that don't need touching.

Same here, on the time that Bitcoin price plays around 71-73k then also im really that in need of funds then i have considered myself on snipping out some profits that i had made since i have been able to buy on cheaper prices. My port is really that been divided on which there's one is really that intended for long term holds, and the other one is really that for short term. Set goals or profit taking levels on which this is the best approach you could have. You wont really be able to feel up some regret on the time that you do see the price did make some deep correction on which the primary thing that you would be having in mind or those thoughts is that
you would be telling to yourself that you should have cash out or converted or sell out earlier.

It would really be always that just depending on how someone would really be managing themselves on the time that they would really be selling or holding. Emotions is one of the most
common factor on which it do really affects out decisions that would really be made on.

Perhaps, there is no assurance or a guarantee for such a thing but still, it is most likely to happen. In fact, for the past ATH, it happened after halving which is enough for us to think this would still happen the same. I don't think there is any reason that will change even though the market is unpredictable.
Well, I couldn't say you are wrong because selling is a personal decision and as a holder, we can do what we want to do with our Bitcoin. However, making a decision to sell this time is not wrong as certainly we make some profit. Of course, holding is not a wrong option as well as we believe that the price of Bitcoin will increase after halving.

Selling mid-bull run seems insane. The only chart people need is the S2F model, which provides a strong indication when buying power is starting to exhaust.

There’s actually no wrong if one decides to sell after a couple of years hodling, as long as he gets exceptional profits that will definitely satisfy him and will pay all his efforts. After all, it’s his own investment so he is the one held responsible for it. However, hodling a little longer may not be totally a burden most especially that halving might be happening around this week. That is, if you also look forward for it, but to be honest, I can’t still guarantee someone that we will definitely witness a huge price increase this time, as not all the time history may repeat itself.

Good mindset. One should not be selling if he’s not actually in a bad financial situation, otherwise he will only miss a huge opportunity that might turn all his hodlings into a massive ones. So if he can continuously hold despite of the current price correction, that will certainly paid off in time.

I get it. It’s not actually easy to see your investments failing at this moment due to the current correction. But know that you won’t actually lose if you won’t decide to sell. So hold still, and sell only when you find a convenient price to sell which is certainly when halving comes.

You can’t hold assurance to that that they will not take some time of selling their coins most especially if they think they have already gained sufficient amount of profits. Most likely, they will prefer to sell at some point and hold some of their coins. Hodling like 2-3 years is not that easy, so if they are seeing valuable profits right at the current price, I guess you can’t stop them from selling if they really want to.

However, if they have seen this already coming that bitcoin halving will leave a huge impact to the price of bitcoin, I guess they will also think a thousand times if they will sell today or just be more patient to wait for bitcoin halving before they decide to start selling their coins.

It's not easy but it can be done, and now that we are almost in the halving, then there's no point for those who have bought in the 2022 era to sold it, even when we hit a new all time high of $73k, I wouldn't sold it instantly.

Takes time to accumulate and it's a lot of test mentally. But if others can do it, everyone can, you just have to believed in yourself that it can be done. So congrats for the HODLel mentally, we will soon harvest what we sow.

Generally speaking,whoever decides on selling or hodling his or her bitcoin at this point,has some financial goals to reach,and is definitely aiming at something huge for herself.However,it is important to keep in mind that Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset and prices can fluctuate significantly in the short term.

Whether you decide to sell or hold,you should make sure that you’ve considered your own financial situation as well as the implications and risks of doing so this period.The crypto market is relatively insensitive to your speculations,observations and evaluations;So guard your decisions for your own financial safety.

Of course, for the point of view, it must vary from each user at that time, especially if it is enough with the current price value where there is an option to continue or exit temporarily to wait for buyback when the market correction comes.

but wisely we should not be too fixated on short-term financial gains because basically investing in BTC is for the long term so indirectly we enter the ranks of the movement towards financial freedom, decentralization, and individual autonomy and also not only the financial aspects that we learn and gain.

Holding Bitcoin would be the wisest thing to do with the current market conditions as I can say in my case if I sell now rather than hold I will face huge losses. I invested in bitcoin when the bitcoin market was at 72 thousand dollars and decided not to hold now the price of bitcoin market has crashed so now it is not possible for me to sell bitcoin so my holding is the only way to get profit.

You're not new to the market, I'm surprised you bought bitcoin for $72k. According to your account information, joining the forum in 2021 means you have had 2 years of accumulating bitcoin at a price much cheaper than what you bought it for. But whatever the reason, you should continue to hold bitcoins if you buy them and should not sell them for any reason. Stay strong, don't panic and sell cheap bitcoin to the sharks because of small fluctuations. We are standing at the door of paradise, don't let it slip out of our hands, the bull season will come after the halving.

To be honest, the threads about hodling and selling/ trading Bitcoin are tiring to comment on the forum. There are a lot of ways to discipline oneself into doing what you want to do and the same applies to hodling Bitcoin.
I respect the fact that you've held Bitcoin for over a few years. How did you do it? Isn't it the same way others did it?  Hodling Bitcoin is its own reward. The fact that you know despite the fluctuation you're gonna get something big, isn't that even the reason you started.

I believe if you're the type to easily liquidate and spend what you have due to temptations then you should learn to manage your fiance's in a way that some BTC are hodl and a little kept aside for liquidation. That way you can hodl and trade for little expenses, just like you spend and save your fiat currency.

Bitcoin rainbow chart says "still cheap". Google it.

You don't have to be in dire need of money and broke to sell your bitcoin. Do it to treat yourself and your family. Renew certain things around the house or buy gear and equipment that you need. The current price is still a great exit stage if you bought your coins much cheaper. You can't know the needs I have, same way I don't know your position. So whatever rules I have working for me could be completely ridiculous to your personal situation.   

Taking profits is never wrong, but I believe that not many people will do as you say because everyone wants big profits, everyone is greedy and many people will continue to hold because everyone believes that there will be a crazy bull season after halving.

Personally, I also sold some bitcoin when it hit $69k and I was happy with the profits I got. Although I also expect or hope that history will repeat itself, that we will have a bull season after the halving, but it is never wrong to take profits because the future is unpredictable. There is no guarantee that we will have a bull season after the halving.

Yep. That's a good tool to tell you when you buy, hold and sell. 

Same question and consideration is I owned a landed property and it has started doing well and I know it has more potential to do better and I'm confused if to sell or hold, to me I'll do according to the plan, do I need the money ? If no then I won't and if yes I would.

And I feel most holders are not holding based on the conviction of selling when the price is high or even considering selling at all, it's all about having a stake in a good asset that has potential to generate wealth for you, yeah most persons started our for the profits but later started having a conviction that bitcoin is a good asset and with holding and storing value in. Okay compared to having cash or saving money, I would personally prefer to have my most value stored in bitcoin and that's my personal approach, so I'll rather be thinking in terms of buying than selling through DCA.

The question you should ask yourself is how do I view bitcoin and what decision have I made concerning it, that way you would find strength to hold for longer term or sell right now, and that decision would be yours cause with all our opinions you may never find strength to hold or to sell now, no one can help you figure that out but yourself, and In any case you have  to come to that decision on your view on bitcoin.

Yes. A good strategy and at least you have profited.


Who is able to predict it all correctly, of course there is no, but if we have experienced this halving moment several times, of course, the direction and movement of the market will be more or less read even though it is not right as a whole.

I think this is also important as an encouragement that Bitcoin halving does not always cause dramatic events that drastically change the market whether it rises or falls in a day everything will work as it is, also pay attention to the working patterns of miners leading up to this event or after this event.

For someone who have held bitcoin for 2-3 years I think holding it for the next bull run which is in a year  time or so  shouldn’t be a problem unless you are in some kind of financial problem and have to sell off your holdings.
I know holding is never easy, it requires a lot of patience. I know of a few friends like that who invested in not just bitcoin but alt coins too, since I have knowledge on crypto than them I advised them to hold more for a year, that the next bull run is almost here,a few of them sold off their holdings due to some financial issues and panic from the dip that occurred, 2 of them who invested then are still holding and I really appreciate them. So most times most people are forced to sell not because they lack patience but because they are in some financial issues and will have to sell and it is why people are advised to invest what they can afford to lose and assume the money invested is gone until they meet their target goal.

Another thing about holding depends on our individual differences in time of our greed. Everybody who is investing have an atom of greed in them. So some people when they make a little profit they tend to sell and are actually okay with that but some will still hold believing there will be a big bull coming. Some will take their invested funds and will leave their profit as their investment and it never wrong to take from your profit.

Lastly i will just say who ever have held  bitcoin till this period, I will advice you hold a little longer till they next bull Run which is almost here, atleast to get reward for your patience all these years.

It's too dangerous a moment now for bying.
Because the BTC is rushing with a force that has not yet been there, but we have already seen three levels of rebound in the area of 69000. And as the practice of the last two ATH has shown, breaking through the previous level does not mean flying to the Moon, the price can set new highs, and then, as if nothing had happened, go for a correction, which is why you need to use stop-loss. I'll give you an example of how I did it yesterday (although the example is the opposite):
- I have stable coins. I decide that the BTC price will eventually rise and fly above 70k. I want to buy at 60k and put a delay on the purchase, while when I buy, I will put the stop loss somewhere at 57k, because I think that below 57k there will only be a drop in price. Who did not understand - stop loss implies the overflow of BTC into the stablecoin.

If an investor is planning to hold for a long time then they should not sell now I think it would be a good decision to hold the investment for longer. Bitcoin has just crossed its all-time high and now the market is in a bit of an uptrend. The market will definitely try to create a good support from this situation and try to break the next resistance that the market has by creating a good support. This time of the year the price of Bitcoin usually falls in half but if the price of Bitcoin is normal this year, it can be assumed that there are good times ahead for Bitcoin. But those who are not able to rely on this much can sell as they wish but if I am allowed to take the decision regarding my investment then I would say I will definitely hold my investment for some more time.

The current market conditions have created another opportunity for you to buy Bitcoin. Because the market is down right now buy as many bitcoins as you want and hold Bitcoin don't sell now. If you sell your bitcoin holdings now, you may face a loss but if you hold the patience for a long time and sell it after the bitcoin halving, you may see a profit on your holdings. There is reason for many to be disappointed by the sudden drop in the price of Bitcoin. So don't worry about dumping bitcoin price be patient and invest regularly maybe good times are waiting.

Yes, you were able to buy bitcoins at the right time by adopting the right strategy due to which you were able to profit by selling them when the price of bitcoins rose. If someone invests in Bitcoin and is able to hold it for a long period of time then he will definitely be able to make a profit from his investment.

the more we hold our Bitcoin longer then the more we got a profit it is proven and tested by other investors so nowadays as we all know that it's better to hold our investment cause if we sell our coins then there's a possibility that we can get small amount of profits but if we hold it then in the near future we got a good and enough profits to sustain our daily needs and wants. Patience is a virtue so the more we have patience the more we got but if we are too greedy then there's a possibility that we will regret some day.

I would not buy Bitcoin now, neither for holding nor for trading. For a hold, I think the price is too high, in general, buying an asset when it is close to the ATH is not the best idea, even if I believe that the price will rise, it will still not bring such a big profit, and in the end will only correct my purchase price.

And I think now is not the best time for trading, when the market is so volatile, it is better to refrain from any actions and just wait until everything becomes clear. When it comes to money, haste will never bring us anything good. And if you really want to trade, then of course you need to do this only with a stop loss in order to at least somehow reduce your losses.

Bitcoin is currently in price correction, so if you end up panic selling, most likely you will end up with a low and regrettable price. But if you chose to hold and accumulate more bitcoin by taking advantage of the present price, that will even put you at a bigger profits when bitcoin price will consistently move upward once the correction is over. So always weigh your decision right, so you won’t end up losing and regretting due to wrong decision making.

There is no need for us to ever think of selling our Bitcoin because that would be the most stupid decision we could ever make in the crypto market. We need to be relaxed and keep buying if we have the funds to buy but if not, we can decide to hold for as long as possible so that we can earn huge from the market.
 Bitcoin price is going to reach 100k and we should not be surprised if that ever happened. The market is huge and we are not the only one taking the risk, we need to be prepared for the bull so that we earn from cryptocurrency. Those that can take the risk would do that and those that can't would have no option than to sell and regret later.

Actually in this case I would not say that it was a stupid decision because in the end every action of course we have thought before doing it and even if we sell now when it already makes it a profit then I think it's not a bad thing because in the end it was the decision they made to sell bitcoin because they thought that it was their goal to stop and we cannot force anyone to be in bitcoin whether it is to sell or to continue to hold the portopolio they have.
It's just that in this case it needs to be emphasized when we have sold the bitcoin that we have indirectly there will be a loss of ownership and usually when we have sold it we will be very difficult to re-enter because of the feelings of anxiety that we have so for things like this it is important to think further before action.

Top traders and whales have thoroughly made their analysis on bitcoin and its definitely going to reach top targets in the system. It's all just a matter of time before Bitcoin triggered the pumps to $100k. I'm confident this event will take place and we'll be there to witnessed our portfolio, this have always been the main reason I've not touch my bitcoin though I've managed to touch others coins. The halving will be arriving in few days time and we should be ready.

Those who decide to sell some of their assets have of course thought carefully so they can decide to sell and enjoy the profits they have made and there is no harm in this because they will be able to collect at another time and when we want to return to collect of course this will becomes easier because we already understand the results we get from holding a number of assets that we own and also we will be able to hold them for a long period of time.

Yes, you may be right, profit taking is never wrong. However, what is important is what we do after taking profit. I'm wondering what your next plan is after you sell some BTC at 69k USD? Continue to wait for price movements after halving to buy back BTC or will you not buy back the sold Bitcoin anymore?

If you continue to stay in this market, and after the halving event the price of Bitcoin increases above 69k USD, you may have to buy it back at a higher price. And so, I think that selling at 69k is not a profit-taking action, but a tendency to trade more (selling at a high price and waiting for a lower price to buy optimal quantity).

If you do not buy back BTC and are satisfied with the profit you have achieved, then that is exactly profit taking. Congratulation.

Well holding bitcoin is a matter of choice, those who held bitcoin for this long are people who made a strong decision and stood by it. You might think HODLing  like $1-2k will be less risky in terms of dip compeard to $20k, but you should not think of the dip but think of the rise because if a $20k investment rise by %20 you would have a huge increase compeard to a $1-2k investment. We should look at the profit when investing. a dip in price should be an advantage to accumulate more. There is no need to be afraid of HODLing for long because surely bitcoin is a good and reliable assets which stand to be the best digital asset so far.

Many people cannot afford to buy more bitcoins at once so they can buy as many bitcoins as they want. Even by buying small fractions of Bitcoin they will be able to convert it into large fractions someday. Yes one thing is true that more amount of Bitcoin you invest more amount of profit you get from that investment. As per your point I am saying for example if someone invests $100 then if bitcoin price pumps 10% from there he will get a bit more profit than if he invests $50.

Investing in bitcoins is an investment where the longer you accumulate bitcoins the more you will be able to earn. Those who bought Bitcoin in early 2023 were able to make huge profits when the price of Bitcoin touched an all-time high this year. So if we invest in Bitcoin, we should plan to hold it for a long period of time without worrying if the price of Bitcoin falls and make a specific plan with the investment.

Any one thinking about or considering Bitcoin investment should also think or consider long term, it is no longer new to know that Bitcoin performs best when view in long term perspective apparently 4 to 10 years or more where you have more of compounded value of your Bitcoin investment over time, hodling for long is beyond patient it has much to do with self conviction about the potentials Bitcoin holds which will enables you to hold as long as possibly your investment goals and objectives to be met irrespective of any market conditions. However, before optioning for sell one should be able to have a sizeable worth of Bitcoin before selling in order to have a substantial profits by selling part of his or her Bitcoin investment.

Experienced investors who know the system can hold for years but I can't say same about newly investors, excitement with bitcoin price increasing is another factor that can cut the long term plan short, from my view taking out profit is not so simply mostly when an investor has not reached his/her target considering when to buy back or waiting for the dip can get tiring. patience can guide an investor mostly when dealing with a long term investment like bitcoin.

People who buy weekly or monthly don't necessary accumulate with little amount, dca allows an investor to accumulate with huge amount also if only an investor can meetup with such amount. An investor accumulation method might be different from others strategy but the ability to hold for long term is important. If buying with little fraction definitely the profit will not be massive but it's always advisable to invest with what you have.

Those who have seen and felt the benefits of Bitcoin will continue to hold their Bitcoin. They will keep their bitcoins and only sell them when they reach their target. HODLing a certain amount of Bitcoin is better than nothing, making many people still hold onto their Bitcoin.
They see the profits coming for them in the next bull run so they can still hold onto their bitcoins.
People who are not strong enough to hold their Bitcoin will never feel its benefits. They will be discouraged by the rise and fall in its price, so they will decide to sell it faster.
However, that is not a good decision considering that the bitcoin price could increase very high after this.

The truth about all these is that the act of holding is buy choice and personal determination, it doesn't come just natural, we are in a phase of life where challenges are being faced each day which requires the use of finance to resolve but a well defined investor will always find means to resolve outside tampering his portfolio (regards to emergency funds, reserved funds or savings).

Do we know, those who purchase at different interval for a long time(DCA) often finds it easier to hold than those who buys the DIP or lump sum and just have to sit and watch their investment grow. This is something experimental, I don't have to alter my investment because I am purchasing at my financial capacity, at separate intervals and due to the fact that I intend to grow my investment gradually with time, certainly confronts my chances to sell.

This period is usually called Bitcoin's halving season Bitcoin is halving during this season. Halving means to halve from the peak price of Bitcoin, Bitcoin will come to half of its value, that is the meaning of halving. If we wait for the halving then we should wait some more time because when the halving season is completely over then we can invest if we want. By investing now, many may think that we may have invested at the wrong time or if we invest $100 now, if the price of Bitcoin falls below that, our investment amount will be $50. To those who have such question in their mind, I say to be patient and wait for some time if you think the market will halve then invest at that time.

Top traders a and whales can be wrong at time therefore you do not have to believe everything that they say, bit with this prediction they're correct because we're heading into the bull market so everybody can predict that the market is going to be bullish and they will be right. Top traders do not always get everything they say correctly so if you want to hold your Bitcoin it should be because that is what you want to do as that's the way you want to invest in Bitcoin and not because it is what some groups of top traders are saying. Hodling Bitcoin is better and more a better investment strategy than selling but what will be better than selling is to trade your Bitcoin. If you learn how to trade properly, you will always be making profits and can hold a larger quantity of Bitcoin because of the profits that you'll be making when you trade.

When you do hover  yourself into this market then trust no one, but only yourself because information that could be read up might be that true or not but of course we are that living here on this speculative market
on which there's no one would really be able to know on where the market will really be going. Whales would really be always the upperhand but of course they wont really be able to know anytime on what
the future holds or on what would really be the future movements.  This is why on the time that you would really be that making yourself that having those investment decisions then always stick into your own plans.
Its not bad to have some snipping out some ideas from other traders or investors but always that stick into your own plans and analysis.

Holding or selling? It would really be that entirely be depending on you. We do have our own will and approach on things basing up into the experience and on the
knowledge you do have.

I would say both are actually done by our own choice and preference. You cannot just hold or sell without weighing the circumstances or advantages first, everything should be done carefully and cautiously. Now, in the case where bitcoin halving is probably the next day or let’s say in the following days, of course I would settle hodling my coins. I wouldn’t be this determined hodling tight through all those previous years if I’ll just end up selling immediately. Although selling some of the coins may also be reasonable most especially if you have some emergencies, but if things are going exactly based on what you planned, then settle on hodling.

The more you read, the easier it is to resist temptation. I would at least wait until the end of the year if I was willing to sell and had bitcoin available

Well I don't want to actually be a party pooper but what are the odds of all this expectations not happening because I can remember vividly that the whole Bitcoin price wasn't supposed to reach a new ATH until after the halving of which this time around trend was totally different as Bitcoin beat the previous ATH even the halving dreamt of showing its face so am just sceptical, what if the whole this time around is different like the history books show and tell it to be.

Well, saving isn’t about how much you save but how long and if the purpose for the savings was met.
In cryptocurrency, people come into the industry with different mindset and purpose and the cryptocurrency industry already offers several opportunities that suits and fit several interest and at the end, you’re still smiling with profits.   
It doesn’t matter what time a withdrawal is made, stat matters as I’ve said previously is the fact that we’re making profits and there are two type of investors which are, the long term and the short term investors and you’ll agree with me that, just as their names, that’s whet they implied that, there are people who believe in taking profits at every possible time and there is also the opposite set of investors as well.

It's more like evaluating every suggestion and idea from other traders, rather than just taking it for granted without doing your own analysis.

But some people are quite skeptical and don't believe in other people's opinions at all.
They only rely on their own views and analysis, so there is no comparison whether it leads to a truth or not.

And in the end holding or selling it becomes each decision, depending on how each person's needs are.
Having a target that will certainly be different from others, now maybe a new ATH of $ 100k is a mass target,
but it does not rule out the possibility of a higher price target.
Always adjust to your own abilities and to what extent to survive making a profit.

Experienced investors definitely see that a dip is an opportunity, that's why there is the slogan buy the dip, it's not easy to do that, especially as we see the value of bitcoin continuing to decline, but if we continue to accumulate the bitcoin we have by continuing to buy, we will get extraordinary benefits.  i know that everyone's time is different, but selling the loss of bitcoin you have because of FUD is stupid act.

Good luck with your target time, because bearish is normal in the crypto market.

This is definitely the time to hodl and not sell because selling now will lead to regrets. I am sure of it because there has never been any halving that have not lead to major bull run. This year will not be different so instead of selling, now should be a time to buy more because the price is likely going up and such purchase is just like easy money for those who will take the chance.
Who are the top traders and whales and where do they drop their analysis? Is $100k the target in this market cycle? I want to know what you know, to help me make better decision. One thing we are in agreement is the fact that bitcoin price will be going up, just that no one know how far it will go, not even the supposed expert traders and whales. 

That's true, mate!
There is nothing wrong with snipping out other people's ideas and following your own plans. It means that you are correct in saying that ideas should be taken from other traders or investors according to their experience rate and it is best to analyze and fit in your own plans because the crypto market is the one that prefers experience the most. . So people know when holding is right or when selling is best. So those people must have tried this thing to determine when to hodl Bitcoin and when to sell it out. That is, looking at the experience of these people, planning by yourself is the best idea after concluding this experience. But all these modifications are acceptable in this case, if you know for yourself that this strategy will really work at that time. Otherwise, if you don't know anything by making other people's ideas or experiencing the subject, then all this can't tell you anything unless you know which one is in my delicacy and which one is not.

     In the 5 hours that have passed on this day, the price of bitcoin only played between 64k and 65k, just a demonstration that it is not good to do day trading at this time; instead, only buying and holdings can really be done. Let's for now.

     Selling is not a good idea to do in these circumstances, but if you have a lot of bitcoin holdings, it is still up to you. But as much as possible, if you treat it more than gold, then don't sell first now, that's all. Wait for the right time.

Indeed. Whales and big traders must have their own analysis, it must be done quite accurate. They know well how the Bitcoin price will grow up or drop. They must have set specific targets, they made realistic plans. Even if they said they price may reach $100k, it doesn't mean they believe it 100%. It may be their trap, or it is made to trigger people to support the further increase on Bitcoin price. Well, although you are confident with the analysis of them, make sure to have your own analysis.

Sometimes we need to sell the Bitcoin, then we can rebuy again the Bitcoin. We don't only sell the altcoins, Bitcoin is also needed to sell. In this way, it will be more secure than always holding the Bitcoin.

It's only been a few hours since the Bitcoin halving, Bitcoin prices are between $60k and $65k. Bitcoin price didn't drop much before the halving, I think Bitcoin price is in a fairly good position. Since Bitcoin has halved today, where the price of Bitcoin will go in the future is only a matter of speculation, very difficult to accurately analyze. Hopefully the value of Bitcoin will increase in the coming days. Selling Bitcoin at this time may be a wrong decision as it may touch $100k in the next bull run. So I think it's better to be patient till you reach the set goal.
