Anyone else think "long term" hodlers are idiots?

[Duzter]

Keep calm and HODL on 

You are right, we should hold good item and wait for a good rate & we should not sell until it reach on our goal, it will be a wise decision and for that price also will increase.

From my experience we need to keep hold of the assets for a longer time period, but the same shouldn't be kept idle when it reach a better price. I've done it without understanding about the market, and the same caused me with a big loss. The value of my holding have gone down to 100% and now waiting for such a growth, but there is no positive growth as the one I've missed. Long term holders need to be careful not to miss the right moment.

I used to mine BTC when it was 100 or so.   Good time but also that costs electricity so I cant just hold it all and ignore the costs to mining.   Ideally yea but this requires some resources to do so, people who can elect to hold have other assets and other sources of income.   If its just an unbalanced bet then good luck but also that implies the bet is quite small, lucky BTC grew a ton so that too has worked out.
   I cant call any of these people especially wrong for doing what was fair on a completely unknown new technology, people have labelled tech share holders idiots also and again thats pretty much incorrect even when the tech boom blew up famously.    I know someone who held tech shares since 1995, he has sold some but mostly they were a giant holder relatively and that was really not wrong in any way, giant jump down in 2000/1 but look now, the sector developed and the hold was very valid all this time.

well, some people might think that those who hold in the long run are idiots. but, when prices get higher, and sell at the right time, they will surely think that they are doing something too late. well, in this case, it's better not to think about what other people think. focus on the strategies that we have made will be better in the future.

Well, I am one of those who thinks holding assets is a pretty good way depending on the conditions. maybe there will be a time when we need to sell some of the assets we have. but, when it hasn't been seen, holding for long periods of time is not stupid thinking.

Great to see that you are on the same point of me regarding holding a item for a long term and also you think they (long term holders) are asset for a project and those can be helpful and also keep it uptrend.

If you can make an accurate evaluation instead of keeping it for a long time, you can earn more. If the main goal is profit, long term holding is not solution. As long as you hold it, the time is up.

Funny how every time the market is in a recession and losers keep holding on to their losses they magically become "long term" holders.

God damn it, "long term" is such a stupid meme. Admit it, you wanted to get rich quick and once you realised you are too dumb to swing trade you suddenly became a "long term" loser.

Such idiocity.

You think Dan Balzerian held anything "long term"?

Long term is for losers.

I do not think that long term hodlers are idiots , how come you say that when those people who hodls their bitcoin way back when it is started and then in 2017 where they gained a lot of profits from bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and it was a long term. Nowadays because of the dip happening in the world of cryptocurrencies hodling for a long term is quite difficult because many have loss their money because of the dip in cryptocurrencies.

[idham29]

Am sure your thinking about long term holders is one sided and is the reason you are using such insultive word on long term holders. I know that you didn't take into consideration those who are holders of crypto coins since the year 2013 till this moment, will you still use such word for them or you don't even believe such people exist.

For bitcoin owners who have big capital and want big profits, they will certainly wait for prices to rise as high as possible because they are not burdened with financial problems, and when selling profits they are also big.
This strategy is not an idiot, in my opinion it is smart, but it must have big capital and no need to fear bitcoin. Optimistic and strongly believes bitcoin will become a high-priced digital currency.

Actually depending on the coins you hold, there are coins that will pump 100 times because right now they are still undervalued.
For BTC, we cannot expect it will increase again with that range, but it will grow of course and long term means really long term and we might get bored
due to the fact that the price is also volatile, anytime it could dump and will stay longer before it pump again.

you are right. maybe it all depends on the conditions. when you are still holding back, but the potential for the coin has disappeared, or has been abandoned by the dev, I think that is the wrong thing to do. but if it does have potential, I think holding in the long run is a good idea.

For me, they are smarter that us. It is very clear that real long term holders are betting on coins that are on the top 20 - 30 in the marketcap. They value is always there for a long time because these wealthy investors know that it has a shot of getting used globally and give them a return much more than what they expected.

I do not consider the term "long-term investor" something not very pleasant. I believe that those people who do not understand the specifics of financial markets poorly are the ones who can see something inappropriate in this term, for me the term "long-term investor" does not mean anything except that a person is an investor.

  People who believe that long term is liable aspect to earn massive profits will be given appropriable profits in return. Even if it will take a long time before it will purchase, the assurance of viable profits will laid to your account. But we have to spend a wide patience in accordance to achieve the thrive, if you are anxious of spending time and patience, then do not waste your time to hold before you lose some.

The long-term investor is the real investor.

A short-term investor is, in fact, a trader. He need to short his assets and rebuy them at lower price, to increase his holdings.

The investor just put his money there and let it go, focusing in other things.

How to come that being hodling for longterm will be idiots? Even they know that this is the best way to make a profits. They are not idiots its just they know how they manage what they invest in crypto. I must choose a longterm that give me a great profit than to short-term that nothing happen or no profit.

I think it depends on the type of coin, or the assets he holds. when it holds back shitcoin, which might not develop in the future. well, I think that will only make him disappointed with the results. however, when it is a pretty good coin, like bitcoin, or ETH, it might not be said to be an idiot, because the coin has tremendous potential to reach a high price.

A friend of mine says that i am stupid. I actually hold my cryptos for a long term run but he thinks that I am doing wrong decisions because If I were to sell and buy my assets multiple times where the price goes up and down, I would make a lot of money and in the end I would hold bigger amounts of cryptocurrency assets.

It can be come from the mind of idiot people. Only idiot people can think long term holders are idiot. People like you cant think long term investors are idiot and also we think they are opposite of idiot.

everyone has their own opinion. many see that most people don't see the benefits. sometimes they continue to wait for high prices, and continue to hold back so they miss opportunities in this matter. well, even though it's a good hope, but I see them throwing away their chances. but, I don't think holding back in the long run is a bad choice

People are only saying this now that the market has been down for a very long time but at the end of 2017 long term holders were considered geniuses for holding their coins for so long, and I am sure the image that we have of long term holders will change once again once the price of bitcoin begins to skyrocket and people will wish they held like them but by then it will be too late.

Exactly!

Long term holders are definitely not idiot. At least they are not trying to chase quick profits and getting rekt meanwhile. They are here for the trust they have in cryptos. Anyone investing for a period of more than 2 years is definitely going to earn some decent profit. Trust the technology.
