I think it depends on how much you are talking about selling.
If I had only a couple coins, I would probably hold them for a couple more years.
If I had bought 100 coins years ago, I would sell half of them and take the profits and invest in something else.
Honestly I don't think the price of BTC will increase that much over the next couple years unless something big happens.
Everything is stale right now. Lots of people just sitting on coins. We need more users and more coins moving for the price to really climb.
What do you consider to be "something big"? Wall Street jumping into Bitcoin? That aside, there is no incentive for people to start buying right now. They are either waiting and holding, or even thinking to sell some coins before others do it and take the price down. |

We have seen a lot of people waiting in high anticipation for a BIG increase in the price during the Halving event. How many people wanted this to happen, just to dump and run and how many of them were ignoring this and are in this for the long haul? I was planning to sell some coins at a inflated price to enjoy the fruit of my labour, but decided to hold a little longer. I already more than doubled the amount I spend on the investment a year ago, when the price were $200+ ... but greed wants me to hoard a little bit longer. How many others wanted to do the same? I will never sell everything, but I want to enjoy the profits.  Greed is not always a good thing but maybe in such case is a good one. You can hold the coins a little bit more. Many of the users here have long term goals or so they say at least. I am collecting coins and I have a decent amount which I am keeping for the long run. But if you bought at less than 300 if you sell them now you double your investment so maybe in this case greed is not a good thing. In the end its up to you what you think to do with your coins. Whatever you do make sure that the decision benefits you in the end in a way or another. I dont think you should dump your bitcoins because the bitcoins can be used for allot of good things and when you get less money for it you can better keep it on a long term maybe the price of the bitcoin will rise a bit after you store them and that will only be positive so if you have some coins just leave them and not just dump them is you think that is the best you can do. |

If you think you should dump your bitcoins i cant stop you off course but why dumping them if you can also hold them and maybe make more money with it that would be nice or not. Never just dump your bitcoins some times you can better keep them instead of dumping them! |

from the day i got into bitcoin i had long term plans for it.
so i made my purchases with my long term plan in mind. that is why i have bought as many bitcoin as i could afford in the range of $215-$230 and for a short time at $180 and now i am overjoyed with the profit that i made.
also this doesn't mean i haven't sold anything because i did and withdrawn the profit then bought back same amount of bitcoin.

I wanted to see a big increase just because I want the value of what I am holding to increase. Also I would sell some with a big spike in price but only to buy back when the price has a drop.
That sounds like a wishful thinking to me. It is not about buying and wishing the price to increase to increase the value of your holdings. It is about buying when you're convinced the price has to rise. The difference is subtle but significant! |

The difference is subtle but significant! a lot people think very easy about buying bitcoin. they think it's just buying and hoping that the price goes up. that's not really what i consider to be investing. that's called taking a gamble. |

And unfortunately most of the posts in the speculation section seem to confirm that. People take risky gambles without thinking and when they realise that they bought on the top it is too late. |

Bitcoin has a lot of potential. We saw it drops and we saw it rise its price. Dumping it is not a good choice unless you really need to use it. Better wait for the price of it to rise. We never know when it will rise again but i believe on bitcoin. It is tested by years. I dont care if its drops, it always happen and naturaly happen.

I dont think you should ever dump your bitcoins because there are always peopel who want to buy them from you and maybe you will get any profit with it if you hold them for a little bit longer you know i think that is the best strategy you could use.

Hey agreeing that bro, If we save some bitcoins with your buying efficient then it would be helpful in future years because bitcoin is having potential like gold and diamond. I think this is only money which is costlier than gold. |

I doubt I'll ever sell EVERYTHING that I HODL though just incase we really do get lift off one day & I spend the rest of my life regretting my dumb decision to sell all. |

At the halving period I was wondering too to sell the bitcoin but then decided to hold for a longer time because I'm became addicted to hold  I don't plan never to dump my bitcoin unless I become in an emergency situation and I'm forced to sell my bitcoins. |

I don't believe in holding for long term, I will sell my coins as soon as I see some profits in it, and I am investing my money in it to earn profits and if I miss the opportunity then its useless to invest. |

I have already taken some profits so I'm now in the stage of hodling the coins I have in my hodling stash indefinitely. I'm in no hurry or rush.

I personally just wobble back and forth between holding and exchanging some for fiat, so I guess you could say that my long-term goals are to make some money off of whatever I don't exchange, but there might be a period in the future where I might dump if the value starts to go too low for my liking. My personal outlook for Bitcoin is a slight upwards trend unless something happens to change all of that.

Exactly even I grabbed some good profits at $750 price as I bought when price was $450 so I am holding rest of my coins for the future and also trying my luck on trading sometimes to increase the volume of my coins. |

Wholesalers wont dont such thing because they are also waiting for a bubble to make them or gain good profits in long term. You are trully correct if someone would dump their huge volume of coins for sure it would dump its price and those oppurtunist would definitely buy bitcoin while they are still low on price. |
