OP, Since you choose to use the ATH of bitcoin, which is $69k as an example, why don't you also use the early price of bitcoin as another example of why it is not good to hodl bitcoin for long? Let's see whether the emphasis you give about not hodling bitcoin for long won't be disagreed upon heavily.

OP, even though we can say that those that purchase bitcoin at a high side from 50k - 60k are at a loss presently doesn't mean they won't recover their losses with time.

Gradually bitcoin is pushing for its halving and it is expected in month's, the price will go higher than its last ATH. By then those who bought bitcoin when it was $50k - $69k will get their money and profits from the bitcoin investment they made years ago.

Depends on what type of an investor you are. If you are fine holding your assets for a decade then you shouldn’t mind price corrections ‘coz in the long run its price is increasing. However you’d be able to maximize the profit by selling during peak price and buying during ‘dips’. It is just that no one could exactly tell the perfect time to make an action which makes sense to say that it depends on the investors appetite. Imagine selling at $69k then its price continued to break price ceilings and never got back to lower market price, would you be expecting such? Of course not. If we would also base to those who bought on its early stage, profit is evident still, which is a good example on what to do with your holdings.

Wait for some months and bitcoin will reach all-time-high. That would likely be in 2024/2025.

For those that wants to invest in bitcoin, they should make research about it and study the historical chart of bitcoin, halving and how the price of bitcoin may go up after halving.

But those that do not make any of such research in the past will not still regret if they are able to hold their coins and not sell.

If anyone just wants to experience earning bitcoin, what you said is right, pal, but if others want Bitcoin to be a way to help them get out in life, they should buy at least 1 bitcoin now for at least at least how about when it becomes 100k$ each, for sure somehow he will be able to move forward in their lives.

Because if they don't hold 1 bitcoin, I think it will be difficult for them to advance Bitcoin, even if we say Bitcoin becomes 100k$ each. Let me say you have saved or accumulated bitcoin amounting to 0.1 bitcoin. That is not enough for you to advance in life, in my opinion.

New investors are are taking advages of it while the old investors are regretting.

That's only if you call a person who bought above 60 000 an old investor. I'm an old investor while still not as old as many people here and I bought most of my bitcoin for less than 1000 dollars.
I don't regret anything, believe me and I'm a living proof that you should hold your bitcoin for a long time.

You say that people who bought at very high prices felt at a loss and this is understandable but they had to know what they were getting into.
What do you expect to achieve when bitcoin is up by more than 300% from its all time high? That it will go another 100% and goes into bear market and you manage to sell before that?
People who buy bitcoin thinking how much fiat money they can make from it often get a painful lesson.

I agree with your statement.

When people discuss about the effects of HODLing, you must understand that this is not a mindless act where you would just leave your BTCs without a definite plan on mind. HODLing must be paired with the intention to gain and profit your investments. This means that once your initial investments are paid-off, it is within your discretion to either HODL for more or to convert them to cash depending on its price on the market.

Generally, once the price of BTC is more than your initial investment, that should be the GO-signal for the person to quickly profit and retain at least a small percentage of BTC to continue on the investment for the future.

That is what people need to understand on Bitcoin. It's not the typical asset and investment that they used to see that it will just go up with a few percentages over time. Look at the stock market and tell this to them that holding for long isn't a great option and you will be praised for telling that because many of the stocks underperform in the long run but if the comparison is going to be with Bitcoin, stop that nonsense as Bitcoin is designed for long term and so if you long and you believe it as it will be valuable as you expect it to be. Keep the faith and avoid those people that will just discourage you.

There has been several occasions of people saying buy and hold without consedring the negative effect it has impacted on many people live. Lets take for instance, when bitcoin was at ATH of about $69k somany people bought at same price expecting it to hit $100k and above while some baugh at the price when it was 40, 50, $60k conservatively. When it was going down to even $20k people keep on holding. Now it's about 2 years since bitcoin fell and never meet up with the price they baught. And they are hoping it comes back after losing huge amount of money. New investors are are taking advages of it while the old investors are regretting.

So I sudjest sometimes if the market is going down beyond bearable measures, there is need to swap your BTC to USDT to keep your capital safe in other to buy back when it is going up to avoid loosing some huge amount of money.

So what's your sudjestion on this.


You draw excellent conclusions for your rank. I know a lot of people who are fans of Hodl strategy. But when I ask them about the price at which they will sell bitcoin, they just shrug their shoulders and do not know what to answer. I agree that Hodl is good, but if you don't sell at a high price, then this promto strategy turns into watching the price of bitcoin, without getting any benefit and increasing the number of bitcoins in your investment portfolio.

If we would also base to those who bought on its early stage, profit is evident still, which is a good example on what to do with your holdings.

Yes it really depends on what type of investor they are, if indeed they have and always apply long-term planning then I think some events that can make you worry it will not be too big a problem for your accumulation, because obviously there you apply long-term planning and if there are some corrections that occur then you don't have to worry too much because it will be easily overlooked, I mean over time your planning then the price movement will go back up and you will still be fine there.

Well that's a good suggestion as your planning time goes on then to maximize profits as you said, we can take advantage of some moments of price movements that are happening, such as for example maybe when prices soar then we can sell some or some of our bitcoins to just take advantage and after that we can wait for the next moment when the price corrects or forms new support then we can take advantage by buying in the lowest area in your opinion with the money from the sale some time ago when bulish dominates, it is very reasonable and effective in my opinion. Yes it is true, that indeed anyone might have difficulty when looking for the right time to sell, there will definitely be doubts that come, but I think it goes back to each of them, if indeed they think the price is good enough to take advantage then just do it and never have a feeling of regret when it turns out that the price is much higher. In my opinion, one that can be used to complement this method is that we must at least understand some analysis in reading price movements at least in the near future, learn to determine support and resistance because with that I think you will be more helpful in terms of considering the decision to sell or buy at a reasonable and profitable price, I always do that way on my monthly DCA application.

So what's your sudjestion on this.
It was not the best for short-term holders but for Long-term investors, they preferred to wait for the bullish seasons to arrive before selling rather than taking advantage of the short pumps. These people don't care about everyday market activities, they prefer to remain calm and focus on their target because they are also certain that ATH will come.

What I can suggest is to choose a strategy that you think gives you comfort and a profit, a way of investing that you will never regret.
